The International Linear Collider's Technical Design Report
A five-volume report containing the blueprint for a future particle physics project, the International Linear Collider, was published on 12 June 2013. The Technical Design Report (TDR) marks the completion of many years of globally coordinated R&D and completes the mandate of the Global Design Effort. It contains all the elements needed to propose the ILC to collaborating governments, including a technical design and implementation plan, that are realistic and have been optimised for performance, cost and risk.
ILC animation
"The ILC in 2 minutes" animation now includes the latest machine and detector design, and also comes with optional sound and various languages subtitles. View it, show it, share it!
How small can you go?
The world's smallest ever beam size of 55 nanometres was achieved by the ATF2 facility at KEK, reported Nobuhiro Terunuma at the AWLC workshop held at Fermilab. And what is more, the results are reproducible, which means that for the ILC, a recovery after a short break would be no issue.
The US strategy
This issue of LC NewsLine may come a bit later than usual, but it also comes full of the latest news from the US strategy process along with commentary from the American directors in the Linear Collider Collaboration, Harry Weerts and Mike Harrison, on what the P5 recommendations mean for the linear collider.
The ILC guide to Kitakami
How do foreigners get around in Japan? What are the problems they encounter and what are the experiences that they make? And what can be done to make lives easier for scientists from around the world who come to settle in Japan when (if) the ILC is being built and operated? The European LC communicators inspected the Kitakami ILC site while being filmed by Japanese communicator Rika Takahashi.

Ext-JS Spell checker
Is there any existing Ext-JS spell checker component? I want to have a simple checker on plain text area.
4 Feb 2011 11:57 AM #2
It's hard enough to find a good JavaScript spell checker at all, not to mention one specifically in ExtJS.
The jquery-spellchecker looks pretty decent to me. Have you considered it?

I've written an on-the-fly spellchecker for IE 6 (http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...lEditor.JSpell)

Spellchecking is a nice to have for me, so since nearly all the latest browsers are supporting the HTML5 spellcheck attribute, I'm going with that. No plugins, no heavy ajax-ing.
26 Oct 2012 4:15 AM #6
@dr-dan: Does ExtJS add this HTML5 attribute to its form fields automatically, or does something else need to be done or set?
26 Oct 2012 4:26 AM #7
No, I don't think so, use the inputAttrTpl config I guess
27 Oct 2012 9:36 PM #8
Unfortunately, many people use older browsers so they can't use it
Anybody who likes to use IE and is still working on Windows XP (there are many of those among my users) will not have this capability. You'd be amazed how many times I still see people using IE 6!

Nice job Pete.
That is really close to how I would spec a PS myself. Love the phase III tuners with the Santana headstock. Wish teds had those.
Play it well!
Another one out of the park, Pete. The maple binding really sets it off.

Thanks guys, for all the awesome complements!!
Nope, I have learned I prefer the tone of the PRS Stoptail.
The DC 245 408 equipped one in the oven has the Stoptail spec'ed as well. I like what I like, too afraid to take a risk on something as expensive as a PS.
That being said, my Electric Tiger Trem with a Madagascar Neck has KILLER tone as well!

Cool video from Brent of this guitar in the finish shop, getting the finish repair done. (Just under halfway into the video, 2nd guitar.)
You can really see the thinner body as it spins around. Killer top and finish on this one!!
Thanks, Brent!
Ted Club President
Now that is how to spray a guitar.
Very cool video! (and guitar)
So that's the dipped in glass process!
Mike Cantrell
That is so freaking cool.
Which reminds me...we're only a couple of hours from Private Stock Friday!!
Thanks, I totally dig it, picked it myself!
The top goes very well with that finish, Paul M and the finish team did a FANTASTIC job customizing the finish for what I asked for, those guys are amazing!
As of this week I have spec'ed 5 Private Stocks, I will say the most fun part for me is picking the top FIRST and then having the top "speak to you" as to what sort of finish it desires!
Of course I come in with a complete plan for the spec, but I defer on a final decision on a finish until the top is selected...

South Floridians are in mourning after singer Jenni Rivera was killed in a plane crash in northern Mexico.
"I saw it on Twitter actually and it was starting to trend. I went to see what was happening with Jenni Rivera and it had said her plane had disappeared," said Leila Cobo, the Executive Director of Latin Content & Programming for Billboard Magazine. "Her future was very bright and it's really a shame."
There were no survivors, and the singer's publicist, lawyer and makeup artists were among those killed, her brother, Gustavo Rivera said. Family members were planning to travel to Mexico on Monday as investigators work to determine what caused the crash.
The small Learjet plane that Rivera was flying in was 43 years old, the state-run Notimex news agency reported, citing the director of civil aviation for Mexico's Transportation Ministry.
"Everyone is talking about the sad news because she was such a big part of the community," said David Martinez, who owns Michy's in Miami.
Martinez said Rivera frequented his restaurant.
"We loved having her because she was so down to Earth. Throughout the years, celebrities come in and she always wanted to talk to the waiters in her Mexican voice," said Martinez.
Pitbull tweeted his condolences, writing: "I highly respected #JenniRivera 4 being a gr8 performer but more then tht being real & gr8 example 4 us all que dios la bendiga &may she RIP."
"The world rarely sees someone who has had such a profound impact on so many," Universal Music Group said in a statement. "From her incredibly versatile talent to the way she embraced her fans around the world, Jenni was simply incomparable."
Remembering La Diva de la Banda
Known to fans as "La Diva de la Banda" or The Diva of Banda Music, Rivera was well-established as a musical powerhouse with her Spanish-language performances of regional Mexican co-rridos, or ballads. For fans, the nickname captured her powerful voice and the personal strength many admired.
In recent years, she had been working to crack the English-language U.S. market and was reportedly on the verge of a crossover with a sitcom inspired by the success of "I Love Jenni," a Spanish-language reality TV show on Telemundo's mun2 network.
Speaking on the U.S. Senate floor Monday afternoon, Sen. Marco Rubio described Rivera as "a real American success story."
"She was a singer in a genre of music that's largely dominated by males, and she brought a powerful voice to that genre where she sung frankly about her struggles to give her children a better life in this country," the Florida Republican senator said.
Rivera sold 15 million records, according to Billboard, and recently won two Billboard Music Awards, including favorite Mexican music female artist.
But she started out small.
In an interview with CNN en Español in 2010, Rivera spoke about how she once sold cans for scrap metal and hawked music records at her family's stand at a Los Angeles flea market.
"It is very flattering when they tell me that I'm a great artist, a great entertainer, that when I'm on stage I can get in the recording studio and come up with a great production," she said. "But before all of that, I was a businesswoman. I'm primarily business-minded."
Rivera eventually became the owner of several companies, including Jenni Rivera Enterprises, which produced and marketed her music, a fragrance brand, a jeans factory and a television production company.
Rivera was nominated for Latin Grammy Awards in 2002, 2008 and 2011. In October, People en Español named her to its list of the 25 most powerful women.
She was beloved by fans as much for her music as her over-the-top lifestyle that was chronicled in "I Love Jenni" on Telemundo.
Born in Long Beach, California, to Mexican immigrant parents, Rivera released her debut album in 1999, according to her website.
She followed that up with two more albums, including the 2003 album "Farewell to Selena" -- a tribute to slain Tejano star Selena Quintanilla -- that increased her popularity.
Her father, Pedro, and two of her brothers also are well-known performers in Mexico and portions of the southwestern United States.
Famous for her music, she is also known for her tumultuous personal life. The singer was a single mom at the age of 15 and is the mother of five, her website said.
In 2009, she made headlines when she was detained at the Mexico City airport with tens of thousands of dollars in cash.
A year later, she made headlines again with the marriage to former baseball pitcher Esteban Loaiza, who played for the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. In October, she announced she was filing for divorce after less than two years of marriage. It was her third marriage.
She told CNN in 2010 that she wouldn't let scandals or personal tragedy stop her.
"Staying defeated, crying and suffering was not an option," she said. "I had to get off my feet, dust myself off and press on. That's what I want to teach my daughters."
"I Love Jenni," which began airing on mun2 last year, featured her life on the road, balancing the duties of motherhood and stardom as she toured Mexico and the United States.
Rivera's openness about the problems she faced won her a devoted fan base, said Raul Molinar, a Dallas-based radio DJ who interviewed the star several times.
"She was a real woman," he said, "and she would express her feelings -- onstage, off stage, anywhere,"
Rivera also was a judge on the popular TV show, "The Voice, Mexico," which was scheduled to air Sunday night. In its place, Televisa aired a special report about the singer.
A fellow judge on the show took to Twitter after news of Rivera's disappearance.
"My heart is devastated," wrote Beto Cuevas. "All my prayers are with you, Jenni, and your family."
Fans and celebrities took to social media to mourn the singer and television star.
"Spent some time with Jenni Rivera recently. What an amazing lady ... Cool, smart, funny & talented. Such a travesty ... God Bless her family," actor Mario Lopez tweeted.
Rivera performed at a concert in Monterrey on Saturday night before boarding the Learjet, which took off early Sunday and lost contact with air traffic controllers about 60 miles into the trip.
Just hours before she died, Rivera opened up to reporters about her divorce and the inner strength she found, thanks to her family.
"I'm so happy. So many strong things have happened in my life. I can't get up in the negative, which destroys you," she said.
"I have brothers. I have children. I have nephews. And they keep me from focusing on the negative."

Parents arrested, accused of leaving toddler in hot SUV for 8 hours
Toddler, sisters now in state custody
Hillsborough County deputies have arrested the parents of a 23-month-old boy left in an SUV for eight hours.
A news release said Alexander Rosario, 27, and Douceaymee Lopez-Alvarez, 26, both face charges of aggravated child neglect.
MUGSHOTS: Who Got Arrested In South Florida?
Officials said that on April 16, the couple left their toddler in their SUV in the front of their Tampa apartment for about eight hours.
Deputies said last month that the family -- which also includes three young daughters -- came home about 4 a.m. from visiting relatives. The parents took their three daughters inside.
Rosario thought Lopez-Alvarez brought their son in, too. Lopez-Alvarez thought Rosario had. But the boy remained outside.
The toddler was hospitalized, but released days later.
Deputies said the toddler and his sisters are now in the state custody.

Wise decision this time in order to avoid further embarrassment. I highly doubt he will come back next season. He won't make it to Sochi ice. He will continue to talk about his comeback next season though.
What is Evan thinking now after seeing Johnny's comeback journey?
from http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...vkey=ice_news:
Okay, this part just confuses me... I think your original plan was a good one, Johnny. If you're going to come back, do it for yourself and for your fans, otherwise you could end up pretty disappointed.After seeing the level of my competitors and how much stronger I needed to be to be competitive, my original plan of competing just for my fans and myself changed. The level of competition has increased dramatically since I left the sport in 2010, and although I was prepared to the best of my abilities, competing relit the fire in me, not only to compete and perform but also to win. Winning takes greatness, and I hope with the time I'm allowing myself to improve my skills, I will return next fall with a clear shot at competing in the next Olympic Games as a favorite.
It was exciting to see Johnny return this season and kudos to him for trying to get back in the game. However maybe he sees how hard it will be to get back to the top, the GPF final men's short program is perfect example of just how tough it's going to be for Johnny & Evan. 5 out of 6 men tried a quad and 4 landed them. The one guy that didn't try one is waaaaay back in
6th place.
probably not much. Evan's comeback was not to beat Johnny but rather try and relive some of his old glory. skating gave him purpose and goals to strive for...something he didint really have in his life after retiring.
I'm not surprised that Johnny won't be at Nationals, and with his injury it seems all but certain Evan won't either.
I feel bad for these guys, though I can't say I'm surprised. Neither of them led the field in jumps even during their heyday, and they haven't exactly been training like demons from 2010 to now. Good for them for giving it a try, but it's not a shock that they haven't been able to keep up.
I have to point out (not meaning anything at their expense) that they make YuNa's comeback effort look even more amazing. She shows up after a similar hiatus and--sufferin' succotash! She hits a triple-triple first time out.
While I didn't think he'd make the team, I am disappointed to not see Johnny skate at Nationals. I think he really needs to question why he wants to compete - is it because he misses the limelight/name recognition or because he misses competing. Johnny never really struck me has having a strong competitive drive during his last couple of seasons IMHO and perhaps hampered by injury.
I've already seen commercials where he will be competing on Rachel vs Guy's celebrity cook-off that begins January 6th. Note: I believe this has already been taped.

True that Yuna's comeback is amazing, but remember that Yuna was like the best jumper when she was competing, capable of 3 different types of triple-triple combinations (3T/3T, 3F/3T, 3Lz/3T), and she can execute lutz & flip correctly, not to mention the crazy height & distance her jumps got.
She landed a triple lutz jump in August in some ice show in Korea in August despite the teeny rink, so obviously she still had all her jumps when she decided to return to competition. I'm not sure if Evan and Johnny still have consistent 3A, 3Lz & 3F, etc.
I don't understand the 'need' to come back. For Johnny, I think his need to come back came from the fans and his husband. The 'need' must come from Johnny 110%. I believe Johnny has more to give in the entertainment side of skating and just have fun with his celebrity staus.
I thought as much. If he returns next season (which I'd be very surprised to see) - his second comback is gonna look just the same.
I remember watching Johnny at some old Russian Gran-Prix event, when he still was with Priscilla, and TAT was commenting, and she said: "Johnny does two different quads in practice, toe and salchow, but his character blocks him from taking advantage of it".
I again remembered one thing I watched - in his show, Be Good Johnny Weir, was this scene where Galina criticized him in practice and compared him with Baiul and to his advantage... And Johnny's comment was, if I remember it right, 'I don't like to be compared to anybody, it doesn't light a fire in me to prove myself' - I remembered that because hearing such a confession from an athlete was weird... What is a sports competition if not a comparison of athletes? And to be honest - Johnny's competitive history shows pretty clearly that he is not indeed a great competitor. And it's exactly, I think, what Tarasova meant by the above comment.
I think he returned to gain a little more media attention, maybe the amount of invitations to skating shows began to decline, I don't know...
I think Yuna knew that she's going to try two Olympic titles. I think she carefully maintained her shape, and I doubt that the only jump she made in shows was triple toe, like in some other skaters' cases. On the other hand, by not competing she maybe saved herself from new injuries... She's very smart, that's why her costumes and her skating are so amazing))
I think Evan could win... This Gran-Prix final gave me some thoughts - I saw lack of clean performances. And that's the door open for great competitors like Evan or Plushy, since they can deliver a clean performance under pressure. But unfortunately, Evan does have injuries and a triple axel problem, so... His win and successful return is unlikely I think

I hope Johnny will be able to comeback, but, I suspect, he will have as many comebacks as Liza Minnelli has had.

Originally posted by ShakyMo I think we're on the same line of thought here, actually. While I wouldn't expect an MMO to have the same featureset as a single player, it's my fear that the components that wereleft out of the MMO may not be replaced by anything that would set TESO off from the rest of the MMO market. If the MMO feels generic - devoid of the "life" and "vibrance" that makes the single-player so appealing - there may not be many who play both. Of course, it's all speculation. It's interesting that you mention SWTOR. During the years leading up to it's release, My inner Star Wars child managed to convince me that it will be a great and fully-featured MMO version of KOTOR. I'm getting a little deja-vu with TESO. Either way, I'll watch the game's news and development, and will be happy to be wrong. I honestly hope it lives up to everyone's expectations. |
I don't like Facebook integration being one of their four key design pillars. I don't like the world isn't seamless and that you can't enter the enemy's territory. I'm highly ambivalent of the megaserver concept. But let's see how it turns out in the end. I signed up for beta at least, and am somehow getting hyped. After WAR,SWTOR and GW2 it seems I enjoy the pain. "Tiny clown, he got wet. I was talking to a psychic and I can't sleep in the ozone. There are too many different peanuts, looking sad. |
Originally posted by Axxar You cant enter enemy territory? Why the hell not??? Why cant there be a pvp server with a ruleset that allows people to go into enemy territory? damnit..... Have they given any reason as to why they chose to lock down enemy territories from outsiders? I hope it isn't an effort to protect pve'ers. |

The hardest part for Zenimax will be trying to conviince the diehard Elder Scrolls player to buy into the traditional theme park mmo setup. I'm not convinced that will happen.
Originally posted by Normandy7 The hardest part for Elder Scroll fans will be trying to convince the devs at Zenimax to actually make an Elder Scrolls game. Unfortantly this didn't happen. What I think is funny is why should Zenimax have to convince Elder Scrolls fans to accept thier game. Instead of designing an Elder Scrolls game they made another tradtiional theme part mmo, isn't there enough of them already? |
Originally posted by NL-Rikkert I agree. The strongest points of the Elder Scrolls games is that they are free-roaming, open-ended, class-free sandboxes. Any MMORPG brought out under the Elder Scrolls IP that does not offer these things is going to crash hard. |
Originally posted by sapphen I don't think Zenimax are just targeting TES fans. They are also after ex WoW, DAoC, WAR, GW2 players, PvPers etc. DAoC - Excalibur & Camlann |
I for one was really excited when this game was annouced. Hoping to get into beta to check it out and not hoping for a let down.
Originally posted by Betaguy I agree, I have absolutely no idea what he was talking about. I have it on a PC with no Mods and it is one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had since the Ninendo Legend of Zelda and the Baldur's Gate series.. The way they made the world feel alive and all the different paths you can take was nothing short of amazing. The only issue I have had is water stuttering as the rings of water move away from your body when SLI is enabled with my dual 580Ms. The game plays fine on the highest settings anyway without SLI. Ive seen some minor bugs, but nothing that made me think it wasn't worth playing. I think he is def in the minority. I agree about the hype train, but there is nothing wrong with people being excited about something new to dive into. There Is Always Hope! |
Pardon the caps, but THE GAME ISN'T EVEN IN BETA YET! You can make no accusations about what sort of game has been made based on trailers and concept discussions. Provide me 1 shred of proof to support your claim of them making a "traditional theme part mmo". Please, do so. Until then, I'm staying hopefully optimistic for the game. Does that mean that I'm going to be blind to problems, no. It means I can hope that 2 companies (Zenimax and Bethesda) can work together to make a good game. So few people seem to remember that Bethesda is in the works as well on this game. While ESO won't be completely free-roaming with the faction zones, the developer statements are all showing that it will still be an open-ended game. Furthermore, look at the history of The Elder Scrolls games. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion all had classes!!! Only the most recent in a series of 5 was a classless game. How then can you claim that the entire Elder Scrolls game concept is hinged on being a classless sandbox? Yes ESO will have classes, but any class can wear any armor and use any weapon. Furthermore, you will have points just like in Skyrim for customization. So what if you pick some form of warrior at the beginning. You spend your customization points in magic if you want to. How is that so limiting that you're bringing it up as a valid complaint? Last bit that I'm going to put out, do your research people. |
Originally posted by drebian The combat, class, faction, punishment and quests systems would've translated. Combat would have to be tweaked and I understand adding in an action bar but race/land locking is totally the wrong direction. I'm also leery of talking to someone who automatically jumps to absurd conclusions - you either lack problem solving skills or just trying to play advocate. |
Originally posted by Rekindle Main problem with any game are people that ask "Why this game was/will be a major disappointment for me". If this will be your major disappointment .. great .. leave and do not return and do not bother all the rest. People like you with attitude like yours are being failures of many could be good games. Period. |
Originally posted by daltanious Players who have been around long enough to experience various phases of the (de-) evolution of this Genre have hi expectations. Honestly, i'm glad that there are a lot of people out there that can find enjoyment with the current crop of mmos. Frankly, the farce this genre has turned into makes me ill. The item shops, the same tired old game play over and over. Forgive an experienced gamer when they look towards a studio (and their partners) for something a bit more innovation and RGP pure. For years tehre were a bunch of us waiting for TESO to come and be TES Online. Instead we're getting WoW in TES clothing. Should I be "happy"? Should I not voice my opinion on the subject? I'm pretty sure I'm not offending anyone by talking about the game (there are lots of sensitives on these forums). Maybe you're the one who should leave my thread and let me talk about why I think this game has problems. There are lots of forums you can go and talk about how lovely the game is. Pure TES players should be let down by this anmd if they are going for a bite of the WoW pie then shame on them for copying/selling out. And yes Skyrim on the PC was nothing more then a complete port from teh xbox. the UI is clunky and terrible on a PC. And also, on a pc Skyrim had signifcant performance issues. Again, my expectations are different than yours. That does not mean someone should go away. |
Originally posted by Rekindle I was going to post what you just did, but now I don't have to. Thanks. |
Once more, where is your proof that they are going "WoW clone"? At this point in development, claims such as this are speculation. Unless you work for Zenimax and participated in Alpha testing, that is...
Originally posted by Rekindle Is not problem of voicing your opinion. But is big difference if somebody voice it did not like some game and if somebody chases every possible forum and flames over game, how bad it is, every one should stop playing it ... etc etc. I had very bad experience (mainly) with Rappelz and Aion, I might speak in some forum about that ... but that it is. Then I will forget about that game, will not go on their official forums or any dedicated forums. But many players it looks make scope of their life spitting and shitting on some game over and over at any possible time and place. I was referring to that kind of people. |

Saeco Repair Center Espresso Machines Trade-in Program Coffee Beans
Outlet Store Accessories Java Points Research
The first dimension: More aroma per bean. The focus behind Saeco's ideas begins with the coffee bean. We elicit from this little marvel of nature every ounce of its aroma. Thats why Saeco is synonymous with state-of-the-art technology conjuring up the most intensive of tastes an invitation for everybody to join the world of supreme coffee enjoyment.
The second dimension: Crystal clear water for the brewing process. Theres tap water and then theres tap water. Bearing this in mind Saeco also pays concentrated attention to this precious resource. As the world market leader we trust a partner of equal competence: Brita, the worlds number 1 in water filtration. Through this partnership every cup tastes harmoniously well rounded.
The third dimension: Special treatment for our milk. Fresh milk and creamy froth are the coronation of coffee. So we dedicated all our passion to this pleasure and developed three milk froth concepts ranging from classical to revolutionary. With Milk Island, Touch2Cappuccino and Pannarello you can individually and freshly make your milk froth dreams comes true.
Enjoy fresh brewed coffee and espresso beverages at the press of a button with your new Saeco SuperAutomatic Espresso Machine. Simply press any beverage selection of your choice for a fresh cup of joe! From Espresso Macchiato to a delicious cup of Cafe Crema, the SuperAutomatic is going to Grind the beans, tamp the grind and brew your beverage all from one button press! No need to worry about messy ground coffee cleanup, the SuperAutomatic has a built in "dreg-drawer" to hold the spent portions of coffee. Simply fill your bean hopper and water tank and enjoy fresh coffee promptly!
Everything about your new SuperAutomatic can be programmed. You can adjust the doser for a mild cup of coffee to a strong espresso. You can easily adjust the volume of water per selection; easy to program by holding down the specific selection to your satisfaction. For example, you can program a shot of espresso to resemble a strong Italian shot of espresso by moving programing your machine to brew one ounce. Espresso Machines generally have three options that you can program to your liking; Small Cup (espresso shot), Medium Cup (long shot), and Large Cup (cafe crema). After programming your machine, the selection will be memorized for your next use. You can also opt to leave the macine programmed as it is from the factory in Bologna Italy. Fully customizable to be the way you desire it to be!
The Espresso Machine has an energy saving mode that allows it to go into "stand-by" when not in use. Never use the power button on the machine as you can easily wake the product up by tapping the screen. You can also program your machine to awaken just before you do in the morning so that it's piping hot and ready on demand. This feature is very useful, program the machine to turn on at least a half an hour before you are ready to use it and the cup warmer will have your cups toasty for your hot latte! You can also program the machine to turn off at any designated time. All programming options are completely user-adjustable, simply see your manual or navigate through your machine's menu to browse peruse the options available to you.
Use the Saeco Aqua Prima water filter to pre-treat the water that enters your Espresso Machine. Protect your investment with these easily replaceable and inexpensive water filters. Simply insert the Aqua Prima water filter into the water tank, prime your machine, and let the filter take care of your machine. No need to purchase expensive bottled water!
Your machine can be programmed to perform a rinse every time you wake the machine from energy-saving mode. This process allows the internal piping and brew group to be flushed with hot water prior to making your first cup! The rinsing process also expells any residule coffee left-over from your previous brew, insuring an ultra fresh, clean brew. Your machine is pre-set from the factory to automatically perform the rinse cycle.
Run a cleaning cycle one a week to flush the brew group of any left-over deposits. Simply insert a Cleanng Tablet in the bypass-doser and run the coffee cleaning cycle. This process will aide in cleaning your brew group. Brew Group should be removed from machine, behind simple access door, and rinsed at the sink once every two weeks or so.
Scale buildup from naturally occurring minerals in your water can build up on sensitive components like the inside of the boiler, which left unchecked can cause considerable damage to the machine. By descaling your machine every two-three months, your machine will last for many trouble-free years. Use ONLY Saeco descaler, available in one year supply boxes, to descale your machine.
1500 Watts while powered on and in use 4 watts in "energy saving"

My husband bought me a CHI for Christmas several years ago, but unfortunately, due to the way I wrapped the cord, the wires got too twisted up and finally split. I've been missing it for ever! After having to use a regular straightening iron for years, this new CHI is a life saver! I'm disabled and it's hard for me to use my arms above my head. This CHI straightens my curly hair in no time, and saves me a lot of pain!
My daughter rec I buy only a chi. Now I understand why. Easy to operate and read the dial. I Love the Thermal mat--when I travel --I can pack it up hot and all is good.
great product. love it. smooth and silky hair every time.

Esko Line-up with Six Kongsberg Finishing Tables Showcased at SGIA Expo
At SGIA Expo 2012, October 18-20, in Las Vegas, Esko will demonstrate a comprehensive portfolio of end-to-end print to cut workflows for sign and display shops from prepress to finished product including six Kongsberg tables on the show floor, i-cut Suite -- a 2012 InterTech Technology Award recipient -- and the new Kongsberg XN 24 finishing system, introduced earlier this year at drupa.
At the center of the booth will be the i-cut Theater, offering high-level presentations of value to decision makers, with subjects such as the economic value of workflows and MIS integration. Helpful for a wide SGIA audience, presentations will be provided in English and Spanish.
During SGIA, other recently launched solutions of value to sign & display shops will be demonstrated, as well as a wide variety of Kongsberg tables.
i-cut Suite, InterTech(TM) Technology Award recipient, highlights focus on wide format
i-cut Suite lets companies that drive narrow or large format digital printers and/or digital finishing systems to streamline their workflows. i-cut Suite components include:
- i-cut Preflight handles efficient preflighting and editing of incoming PDF files, ensuring that jobs will RIP and print correctly. It also lets users make any corrections working within the PDF file.
- i-cut Layout is a module to interactively build and edit sheet layouts, ensuring that jobs make the optimum use of the substrate through intelligent true shape nesting and tiling.
- i-cut Vision Pro makes sure that die-less cutting contours match printed images perfectly. Often, slight distortions between printed graphics and contour cuts may cause unacceptable results. i-cut Vision Pro registers the actual dimensions and positions on the printed result.
With i-cut Automate, all of these functions are automated in a single workflow, with less operator intervention and fewer potential manual errors.
Software that makes structural and graphic designs easier
In an industry that is becoming more commoditized, sign and display shops are realizing that the uniqueness of 3D display projects offers higher margins. More and more companies are investing in ArtiosCAD for structural design. ArtiosCAD 12 brings customers many time-saving features. Its extensive library of resizable display designs helps designers so that they do not have to start from scratch designing new displays. The ArtiosCAD Tab & Slot tool 'assembles' components of a display with just a few clicks. The Mate tool helps to build and visualize connected folds and multiple parts. Users can identify glue areas and corresponding targets to quickly connect designs or perform simple assembly of displays. Support for thicker materials such as papercore-board, along with correctly designing V-notches and edge bands make it easier to visualize and convert designs of this material.
ArtiosCAD is available in two versions: the standard version and ArtiosCAD 12 Enterprise, enabling global "cloud" sharing and collaboration with WebCenter 12. All assets are centralized in a corporate private cloud, a secure web-accessible database enabling dynamic online collaboration between design groups, CAD and graphic designers, suppliers, brand owners and production.
Why work in a flat world if displays aren't? Studio 12 is a unique set of tools for 3D structural design made specifically for display artwork professionals. Studio helps produce better artwork, by allowing users to virtually view 3D displays and rotate them a complete view. Studio also lets companies create exciting 3D visuals to show to clients, ranging from PDF files with 3D content to movies.
New: Kongsberg XN provides power and flexibility for any sign & display application
Three Kongsberg tables will be shown on the Esko booth. The Kongsberg XN is easily the most versatile digital finishing device ever introduced. Working with just about any material from vinyls to boards to wood, the Kongsberg XN is perfect for any job or application. It is available in seven different sizes from 66" x 50" to 87" x 258".
The Kongsberg XN can be easily configured for the widest range of applications: from kiss-cutting to heavy-duty milling. Most important, the new Kongsberg XN can be equipped with its very powerful, optional 3kW, water-cooled milling spindle, the MultiCUT- HP. With this new high-powered tool head, the Kongsberg XN offers up to three times more milling productivity. Even when processing the most challenging materials, it keeps a productive, consistent speed. With the power-saving variable vacuum hold-down technology, it also consumes less energy.
A choice of five tool heads and a full assortment of insert tools guarantee versatility. Newly developed tools include solid board and corrugated paper-core board v-notching inserts. The Kongsberg XN offers a variety of proven options including help with registration with i-cut Vision Pro, tool heads and tool inserts to extend flexibility, productivity add-ons like a material conveyor, an AutoFeeder or a Roll-Off unit.
The Kongsberg XP24: the world's fastest digital finishing system
Also on display at SGIA is the Kongsberg XP24, the world's fastest digital finishing system. The XP helps turn short-run POP / POS displays work into profitable, value added jobs, helping sign and display shops offer their customers on-demand production with just-in-time delivery. With a maximum working area of 87"x126" and a maximum speed of 66" inches per second, the XP series can convert a wide range of board, sheet and roll materials.
Kongsberg i-XE 10 Auto digital finishing system
At SGIA, the Kongsberg i-XE 10 Auto is equipped with a fully automated sheet feeder and off load stacker, specifically designed for finishing small-format, prototype, sample and short-run digital printed materials - rolls or sheets can be processed. The sheet feeder system automatically loads and places printed materials on the table. The 'Pick and Place' automated stacker enables non-stop sorting, neatly stacking finished pieces. The system also automatically separates waste from the finished items. The Kongsberg i-XE10 Auto opens opportunities for creative, new applications with irregular shapes or finishing structures. It can handle a maximum sheet size of 35" x 47".
Esko partners demonstrating finishing systems and software throughout SGIA
Three additional Kongsberg finishing tables and workflows will be on display at partner booths around the SGIA show floor. Esko partners Agfa Graphics (booth 2059), HP (booth 2035) and xpedx (booth 2481 will all demonstrate complete print and finishing solutions. Agfa Graphics and xpedx will both exhibit the Kongsberg XN24 with an i-cut Vision system, while HP will operate the KongsbergXP24 with an i-cut Vision system.
"Esko continues to create solutions to help sign and display companies to build profitable businesses. One of the best ways we believe is by offering 3D capabilities," comments Bill Hartman, Esko Vice President, Sign & Display Solutions. "Exciting opportunities are available for companies wiling to invest in workflow systems that offer some of the designing, printing and cutting steps that are unique to Esko. i-cut Suite, the Kongsberg XN finishing table, and ArtiosCAD 12 are the most recent examples that demonstrate that jobs don't end with printing -- there is a lot of benefit to building powerful structural design and finishing departments. We look forward to showing SGIA attendees -- both at our i-cut Theater and throughout our finishing table and software demos -- significant tools to differentiate themselves in the market.

A sailor from Patuxent River Naval Air Station has been sentenced to 12 years of confinement and a dishonorable discharge, Navy authorities report, at the close of a two-week court-martial following the death of his infant daughter.
Brian Hart, a 23-year-old master-at-arms seaman, also will forfeit all pay and allowances, according to a public affairs director at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., where St. Mary's detectives took part in the military trial that concluded Thursday afternoon with the jurors' verdict and their decision on the penalty.
Hart will appeal his conviction for murder and the other charges against him, his lawyer said Monday, adding that the defense stands by its position that the child died from a stroke.
At the onset of the trial, before members of the jury were brought into the courtroom and selected, Hart's lawyer and a prosecutor argued over a doctor's changed opinion about the head injuries suffered in August 2010 by 4-month-old Brooke Leigh Hart.
Brian Hart faced a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of the murder charge, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Rachel Trest, the lead prosecutor, said at the beginning of the proceeding. By that time, the Navy spokesman confirmed, the sailor's wife, Jessica Hart, had reached a pretrial agreement with the prosecution that was contingent upon her cooperation in the case against her husband. She is scheduled to return to the military court in early December.
Brian Hart earlier was arrested by St. Mary's detectives and indicted by the county's grand jurors for second-degree murder in the baby's death.
St. Mary's prosecutors said last year in the county's circuit court that they were dropping their case against Brian Hart because the Navy had requested that the matter be transferred to its authority.
"I would say that the U.S. military did a very good job, and we should be glad that their judicial system is part of our community," St. Mary's State's Attorney Richard D. Fritz (R) said Monday at his office in the county courthouse.
"Twelve years in the federal system means 12 years," Fritz said.
Detectives alleged in 2010 that Brooke Hart suffered head injuries and fractured ribs during multiple incidents before she died.
She was born prematurely in late March of that year, the county investigators reported, and she remained at a Baltimore hospital's neonatal intensive care unit for more than three months before she was released to her parents at their home in the Glenn Forest housing area of Patuxent River Naval Air Station. The child was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in early August of that year, court papers state, and she was transferred to a Washington, D.C., hospital, where she died five days later.
An autopsy on the baby's body found seven rib fractures on her left side, three rib fractures on her right side and head injuries including a subdural hematoma, according to a statement of probable cause filed in St. Mary's District Court by Cpl. William Raddatz of the St. Mary's Bureau of Criminal Investigations. The detective wrote in charging papers that Brian Hart admitted picking the baby up "with great force" and shaking her to get her to go to sleep, and in a separate incident, again picking her up forcefully, allowing her head to snap back.
Robert Bonsib, Hart's lawyer, said of his client's conviction and sentence, "Hopefully, there will be some relief through the military appellate process."
"We're obviously disappointed at the outcome. We believe that Seaman Hart did not cause the death of his child," Bonsib added. "We believe it was from a stroke. It was a naturally occurring event."

You are obviously not an Engineer?
I started a thread, about making USGI mags at home. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/140...own_Mags_.html
I played with the Idea of using a CNC machine to make a rollsroyce of an ATF follower out of solid aluminum. I guessed that would be sweet like the old Vietnam 20 rounders with an Aluminum follower.
Making a 20 round straight wall mag would be easier than making a 30 round curved one.
But what about a 25 or 30 round straight wall magazine? I know curvature is needed for reliable feeding. But what if you create a more aggressive slant on the bottom of a straight wall magazine to accommodate the changing geometry of 30 bundled rounds in a straight wall mag?
The idea is to make a simple, inexpensive, easy to make AR15 and magazine. It can be ugly as sin. as long as it is reliable and works. who cares?
I want everyone on ARFCOM to pitch in. If you work with CNC, work in the art of sheet metal. are in the trade post you're experiences suggestions etc. Seeing how AR15's and mags are unavailable. lets be creative to fill the void.
So far i've drawn these up.
Here is a contribution:
trying to accommodate the design for stamped sheets, the buffer tube will be attached to the upper half since being attacahed to the lower would cause stress on a small amount of material. so the logical solution would be to move it othte upper for solidarity.
the lower housing would only accommodation trigger housing and the magazine.
Think about the magazine follower in your straight edgy magazine. How will this part change its pressing angle depending on your mag being full or almost empty?
It took a team of professional engineers at Colt's years to design a reliable 30 round magazine.
If you are thinking of using sheet metal, look at the AR18 or AR 180.
You can build the AR with a sheet metal lower and use a tube upper.
I'm curious as to if anyone is looking into the idea of using a 3D printer to manufacture AR mags. I remember a while back the buzz about wiki weapons, and the idea of printing pistol receiver. I'm not sure of the quality of material available for such a printer, but it would be interesting to see if it's a viable concept.
I understand where you're coming from. But im still determined, evne if it is a difficult one.
The FAMAS has a 25 round straight magazine, with a larger taper on the bottom that a colt 20rd.
I really want to see is a 25 rd straight mag and 30 will be feasable with a more aggressive taper.
Going for the straight mag since it would be infinitely easier to manufacture in a shed than a curved mag needing a press.
I recall something about 25 rounders straight walls being used in Vietnam, and the french still use the 25 rounders.

Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital's partnership with AMR (American Medical Response) and CALSTAR (California Shock/Trauma Air Rescue) provides emergency medical transport to the trauma center. Because traumatic injury can affect more than just the body, mental health specialists, social workers, spiritual care services, discharge planners, and rehabilitation therapists also play an important role in recovery.
Quality Care
The goal of the Trauma Program is to improve the quality of care of the trauma patient. Our Trauma Registry and Performance Improvement program participates with national trauma databases. These services provide risk-adjusted benchmarking to Level I and II centers for adult patients, and ranks centers' performance with other participating hospitals. It's our mission to provide superior trauma care through commitment to our communities and to our core values of excellence, integrity and compassion.
Trauma Clinic
Our Trauma Clinic is a follow-up visit for patients recently under the care of the SBCH Trauma Services. We examine the patients' physical injuries and practice wound care. Other clinical concerns are addressed, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), rehabilitation and pain management.
Injury Prevention
We are dedicated to injury prevention as well as quality trauma care. Falls, motor vehicle collisions, and bicycle related injuries are the top three reasons for admission to the trauma center. Fall related injuries have consistently been the leading cause of injury over the past seven years.
For each trauma patient admitted, our staff determines whether the injury was preventable, treats the patient for preventable factors, and educates the patient about how to remedy risks or avoid those factors.

Erin points out that Sunday, the day Katie Lentz was saved from the wreck, was the Feast of St. John Vianney, the Curé d'Ars, who is patron saint of priests.

Certainly, as an immortal, etc., you have expectations, and when some puny human who can't drive causes an affront, you have every right to get pissed.
I'm mortal, but I still have to put up with republicans, so my situation is not dissimilar to yours. (Of course, they aren't crashing cars so much as they are crashing the economy, which is at least as bad.)
Well, no matter how it turns out, I'll be dead by then.
You, on the other hand, have to suffer through even more human stupidity. Until people kill themselves off.
At least you have something to look forward too.
Kids aren't paying attention most of the time in science classes so it seems silly to get worked up over ID being taught in schools.
St Christopher or one of his horde of phantom priests took the day off for this tragedy... then again, they were baptists, so maybe they have phantom deacons or something that took the day offSad story - on many levelshttp://www.jconline.com/article/BG/20130728/NEWS/307280019/Before-Indianapolis-bus-crash-youth-pastor-asked-church-members-pray-safe-return?odyssey=obinsite

A New York Times Notable Book
A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year
In her astonishing new book Susan Casey captures colossal, ship-swallowing waves, and the surfers and scientists who seek them out.
For legendary surfer Laird Hamilton, hundred foot waves represent the ultimate challenge. As Susan Casey travels the globe, hunting these monsters of the ocean with Hamilton's crew, she witnesses first-hand the life or death stakes, the glory, and the mystery of impossibly mammoth waves. Yet for the scientists who study them, these waves represent something truly scary brewing in the planet's waters. With inexorable verve, The Wave brilliantly portrays human beings confronting nature at its most ferocious.
Excerpted from The Wave by Susan Casey. Copyright © 2010 by Susan Casey. Excerpted by permission of Anchor, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Susan Casey, author of New York Times bestseller The Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Obsession and Survival Among America's Great White Sharks, is editor in chief of O, The Oprah Magazine. She is a National Magazine Award-winning journalist whose work has been featured in the Best American Science and Nature Writing, Best American Sports Writing, and Best American Magazine Writing anthologies; and has appeared in Esquire, Sports Illustrated, Fortune, Outside, and National Geographic. Casey lives in New York City and Maui.
"Examines big waves from every angle, and goes in deep with . . . mariners, wave scientists and extreme surfers. . . . [A] wonderfully vivid, kinetic narrative." —The New York Times Book Review
"Immensely powerful, beautiful, addictive and, yes, incredibly thrilling. . . . Like a surfer who is happily hooked, the reader simply won't be able to get enough of it." —San Francisco Chronicle
"[An] adrenaline rush of a book. . . . As terrifying as it is awe inspiring."
"Casey's descriptions of these monsters are as gripping in their own way as any mountaineering saga from the frozen peaks of Everest or K2." —The Washington Post Book World
"Susan Casey's white-knuckle chronicle . . . delivers a thrill so intense you may never get in a boat again." —Entertainment Weekly
"Reading The Wave is almost like riding one, paddling in the expositional surf of vivid imagery and colorful description thrown at you in ever-escalating surges." —The Plain Dealer
"Casey does an exceptional job of explaining the natural forces (winds, currents, ocean-bottom shape) that create these daunting, at times fatal, surfing spots. . . . Terrific." —Wall Street Journal
"Extraordinary. . . . I'm only allowed 800 words for this review. Here are a few: fascinating, heroic, dazzling, terrifying, amazing, unbelievable, mesmerizing, instructive, enlightening, superb. This is a . . . powerful, articulate ride into a world you never knew existed but that you will never, never forget." —Richard Ellis, The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Utterly engrossing." —Salon
"Something is stewing in our seas, and Susan Casey—traveling, and in some cases swimming, all around the world—is eager to find out what it is. Both a rollicking look at the ocean's growing freakishness and a troubling examination of our ailing planet, The Wave gives new meaning to the term 'immersion reporting.'" —Hampton Sides, author of Hellhound on His Trail
"[Casey] is a powerful voice in adventure writing. . . . Masterful." —Outside
"Like the surfers and scientists she profiles, Casey lived and breathed giant waves for years. Casey combines an insane passion for craft with an uncanny ability to describe the indescribable. In The Wave she whisks the reader off to unimaginably surreal settings and puts them in the middle of mind-blowing scenarios. This book sucked me in like the undertow at Pipeline." —Mary Roach, author of Stiff and Packing for Mars
"[A] breath-snatching thrill ride." —Elle
"Compelling and wonderfully detailed. . . . An engrossing set of stories about the quest for bigger, stronger, more dangerous." —Los Angeles Times
"A fabulous page-turner." —NPR
"This book is adrenalin. You don't want to surf the waves described herein. Read the book. It's safer that way." —Eddie Vedder
"Reading The Wave is the closest most of us will ever come to the sensation of riding, or even seeing, one of these towering monsters of the sea. It's exhilarating, astonishing, and, not infrequently, terrifying. Brace yourself." —Candice Millard, author of The River of Doubt
"A probing look at both the passionate and the pragmatic sides of these oceanic wonders. . . . Casey's curiosity in learning about every conceivable aspect of waves makes for compelling reading, regardless of whether you look at waves as a great ride or with great concern." —BookPage
"At once scary and fun, The Wave surprises at every turn." —Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe
"[A] captivating hybrid—an intro to the mind-melting physics of waves and a ride-along with the scientists and surfers who chase after them." —Men's Journal
"The Wave is an amazing look at humble yet larger-than-life people who live by daring feats, honorable acts, and selfless denial. . . . Terrifying, beautiful, her prose is shot through with the haunting half-light of a storm." —Doug Stanton, author of Horse Soldiers
1. Why do you think there isn't more news coverage on sunken freighters, tankers, and bulk carriers? Do tragedies at sea strike a different chord in the popular imagination than say, a plane crash?
2. What's the difference between surfing a wave and surviving it? What drives people to extreme situations and how does one draw the line between determination and courting disaster?
3. Many big wave surfers, like Laird Hamilton, are married with children. How do you think they rationalize putting their lives on the line for what many would consider sport?
4. Why do you think the psychological beating is often worse than the physical injury for surfers? Do you think Brett Lickle's mishap towards the end of the book helped him see what was really important in life or psychologically cripple him?
5. Surfers and scientists have different methods of judging a wave's intensity. Is one rubric more accurate than the other?
6. Susan Casey found a strong female presence in the scientific community that seems to be lacking in the surfing world. Why do you think surfing—and tow surfing in particular—seems to be so male-dominated? What drives more men than women to extreme sports?
7. Why is respect for the waves so important? What happens if you lose this respect?
8. Many surfers in the book refer to themselves as "watermen." They're not simply athletes or thrill seekers—they almost have a sixth sense when it comes to the water. What can we learn from these watermen in terms of how they regard and intuit the ocean? What responsibility, if any, do you think these adventurers have to the ocean and to one another?
9. Historically speaking, massive geological events occur frequently, but humans generally remember devastating natural disasters within their lifetimes. Do you think this ability to forget events such as the Lisbon tsunami of 1755 and move on is part of what makes our species so resilient? Or do these sorts of memory lapses leave us ill-prepared to deal with future disasters?
10. After Susan Casey witnesses a sixty-eight foot wave at Killers, she remembers Laird Hamilton's assertion—"If you can look at one of these waves and you don't believe that there's something greater than we are, then you've got some serious analyzing to do." How has your perception of the ocean—and those who study it and ride its waves—changed after reading The Wave?

- Middleton and Kardashian pregnancies. I'm very happy for them and wish them both the best - but I have been pregnant - in total - for 3.5 years of my life. I don't need/want their look.
- Sudocrem on spots. Arse. Literally.
- Argan Oil - Yes it's wonderful but it doesn't have to be in everything - and please stop calling it groundbreaking.
- Painting your ring finger differently from the others. A trend not started by someone with OCD. Clearly.
- The word 'trend'. Forever.
- Aapri Face Scrubs. I am still asked if they are 'ok to use'. Yes, on the sole of an elephant's foot.
- The term 'squeaky clean'. Nothing on your body should squeak. You are not a rodent.
Tuesday, 8 January 2013
Thought for the Day. Things I wish we could all move on from. Part One.
120 comments:
I wish the entire Kardashian family would just move on full stop. I wish my acne would shove off. I also wish my excess weight would magically move on all of its own accord whilst I still continue to trough my way through Waitroses cake selection. I'm not sure I've got the hang of this...
ReplyDeleteMade me laugh...esp re the pregnancies and Argan oil. I love it too but it seems to be overkill.
ReplyDeleteHilarious. I too hate the signature finger nail paint. Just wrong. Oh and the metallic/magnet/caviar etc nail varnishes. Hideous. And onesies but ill probably be shot for saying that one.
XxEmu oil- not a fan! Oilatum (hate) steroid cream on already thin *damaged* skin the new *fur* manicure F-ur-k off! Ok, that will doodle do :) Love your rants in a list-the best x Oh Bio oil- VILE!
ReplyDelete"Guys" - all of the time. No, no , no.
"Like" - it is or it isn't - it's, like, very annoying.
"Picked up" - you purchased something. "Picked up" implies theft.- Taking pictures for one's blog with one's hand stuck into one side of one's ombre'd hair whilst pouting and gazing slightly off camera or at one's turned-in feet.
- Ombre hair.
- Mac Snob lipstick (not necessarily an everyday occurrence but one which should be banished to Room 101 nevertheless).
- Piers Morgan. Just because...well. Because.No 1) Christmas chocolates. Still got a houseful and now getting fat
No 2) the word yay
No 3) sticking `tastic` on the end of words. I did this myself today and died a little inside
No 4) people trying to buy me skincare as a gift. Done with good intentions but nooooooo. If you've heard of it I don't want it! (My family don't read your blog Caroline)
There maybe more...How can I explain to my friend how much she needs to stop putting Sudocrem on her face. It makes me want to punch her every time her stupid white face appears at my door!! x
ReplyDeleteI find sudocrem really soothing after using my aapri scrub... *ahem*
1) Top Knots (agreed)
2) People saying 'sneaky peak'. it's sneaky PEEK!!!!!!!!!
3) Rodial and everything associated thereofWhat, no Sudocrem on spots? I hadn't even had the time to try this one? And I'll keep painting my nails different colors, sorry :))
I'm a bit scared by onesies for grown-ups, but well, to each their own thing. As long as you don't offer me one as a gift.something should squeak though halloumi in your mouth - yum squeaky cheese rules! I can believe anybody would even dream of putting Aapri on their face I use smoother scrubs than that on my body :) great post as always thanks for raising a smile x
ReplyDeleteThis gave me a laugh! I totally agree about squeaky clean - you shouldn't squeak!
Things that we need to move on from/things that are totally out for me:
1) Unnatural eyebrows a la filled in so much, they look like a geometric shape. Ew.
2) The use of highlighter all over the cheeks. It's supposed to go on the TOP of your cheekbones.
3) Pouts. Just, no.- Anonymous8 January 2013 at 19:56
Love, love, love. I have NEVER been into the whole different polish for the ring finger thing, it just looks unbalanced. I am OCD. Proud of it. Bring an end to this "trend", Caroline.
ReplyDelete Gosh couldn't agree more to all the points you just mentioned. Where would the world be without you Caroline :-). x
Raves 'nd RamblingsI'm slightly scared of you Caroline but enjoyed your rant. When is part 2 to be vented? :)
ReplyDeletepure genius!!! almost had a twitter arguement the other night about sudocrem, I was defending your school of thought, obv!
Jade | Beauty Butterfly Blog
xoh and by the way, i'm over the use of the word 'super' before any word & TOWIE!!! No need for either in this world!
ReplyDeleteHey Caroline,
Just discovered your blog and me and mum are already hooked, keep up the good work :) Anyways im after a face scrub if you could recommend me one that would be super, in the pass ive used the st ives scrub "/ is that a bad scrub to be using oh i have rather oily..ish skin xxOh gosh I remember using the aapri scrub years ago and it broke me out horribly, lots of little under the skin red spots all over my face. It was awful! I don't really like it when bloggers adress their readers as 'sweeties' or 'honeys' etc I find it a wee bit sickly and contrived, or maybe I'm just a miserable cow :)
xThis was wonderful. I'd like to add some too:
* 24hr wear foundations- really!!! Why would anyone want foundation on their face for 24 hrs???
* ad campaigns with words like "millionize your lashes"- huh? Millionize???
* get four shades fairer in just a week!!! - what do I say about this? These creams are so popular in India. I just feel like shaking the person buying it and saying, hello, if this really worked, no one would be dark. And we'd have women walking around with faces four shades fairer than their bodies *shudder*!Replies1. People who have amazing lives where they are partying forever (ie, hardly anyone)
2. agree!
3. Why the obsession with white? What is so amazing about a Caucasian that people would use bleach or heaven knows what else to get that skin colour. I think every ethnicity has lovely skin and its the skin you inherited through years of blood and genes.
You are brilliant. One that is annoying me is all these crazy nail trends. Enough already, I will not wear fur on my nails. x
ReplyDeleteThis is what gets on my wick- huge corporate companies a la Estee Lauder donating a percentage of their profits to charites such as breast cancer yet they are the one that have been known to include some of the 'questinable ingredients' that cause this type of cancer in the first place. Geeta
ReplyDeleteI read this and thought about the sudocream I put on the spot that wont go away last night and the Argen oil that is currently in my hair yet totally agreed with everything you said haha
We all have our bug bearers, mine has to be bloggers on twitter who want followers yet all they do is moan! I've unfollowed two this week alone! haha
xI'm with you on painting one of your nails a different colour to the rest and the word trend. The term 'on trend' in particular makes me wince. Using the word 'statement' to describe a bright lipstick or a bit of jewellery from Topshop or painting one of your nails a different colour to the rest bothers me too. You're not really making that much of a statement in society with any of those things - except that you bought them or have the time to paint one of your nails a different colour to the rest.
ReplyDeleteAmen sistah.
"natural" skincare - whatever that means - so is poison ivy.
creme de la mer addicts which smears worse than expensive smooth peanut butter
Parisian women who think they can get away with orange-red lipstick and disheveled hair and no foundation - no one can.Hahaha!. Love this post. Said the same thing to my hubby about the celebrity pregnancies. Expect glossies to go wild for maternity fashion the year.
ReplyDelete- Alexandra10 January 2013 at 13:33
Hahaha, love this. Love your straight forward style.I am sick of not having sun, I need some sun for crying out loud. And the Kardashians.
Sorry to be so off topic, but I have a question. Do you have any idea why I feel my cheeks burning after applying LA Roche-Posay moisturizer for sensitive dehydrated skin? Afterwards I can see these redness coming up on my cheeks and I have no idea why, I mean the reason I bought it was because it was for sensitive skin. Anyway, I would appreciate a good (not so expensive) moisturizer that doesn't burn. It's the first time it's happening to me and to be honest I never paid 16 pounds for a moisturizer before.RepliesIt clearly doesn't agree with you. Switch it out to something else. Do you have anything really bland and plain?
Delete- Alexandra12 January 2013 at 08:59
I had previously used Naked 12h skin aid so I still had some left and I started using that one again, my skin seems to like it. La Roche-Posay-obvious dissapointment.
Hahah! This Bioderma phase that never seems to end is what's getting on my nerves! There will be a point where you need to put something on your face that has a little bit more to it than just that, yes its good, please move on. I still love Sudocrem though :p haha.
ReplyDeleteWell, I must say, i had absolutely no idea about the one finger nail varnish trend as i generally live under a rock. But I did get served by a man in a shop last year who had said nail painted blue and it actually disturbed me for the rest of the weekend! As it was in an art shop, I hoped it was paint, but I went back again to collect my order the following week and...STILL BLUE! Can't believe it's "a thing." Bad.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous13 January 2013 at 23:28
funny post. Talking about annoying phrases can I just add that it makes me cringe when people say I got in "on sale". If you were brought up in UK we say "in the sale". It's one of the Americanisms that set my teeth on edge when said by non Americans. Just remembered also someone I know who, instead of saying "from the start" has started saying "from the get-go". Hmmm.
ReplyDelete Girls who consistently cock their head to one side, and do Duck Face into the camera should be banished from Instagram forever.

Banish these two words please:
1. Nomnomnom. ( even writing it down makes me sick)
2. ' ha!' Please stop saying/writing that: so childlike.
Love you! You re a scrooge, like me :)
Big mouth, big heart! Amen to the first one- women are pregnant all the time? That's why we're all here. Congrats - but yes- move on people! Great list! I had a friend send me Sudocrem (as we dont have it in the US) thought it would work- I have the worst chest acne (sorry for the TMI) Now trying mario badescu drying lotion.

The Dots on the Nose phase is ending.
The Peeling phase is peaking.
The Baby Acne phase looks to be gearing up. (We'll spare him the indignity of the chin shot.)
G had his two-week checkup today with the pediatrician. His findings, in three quotations:
"Well, you've absolutely trashed the regain birthweight rule."
(G was an awesome half pound over his birthweight at this morning's appointment. (You may give my bosoms a metaphorical high five now.)) (Please do not attempt to give them an actual high five.) (It might get awkward.) (For you, I mean, because they have no palms.)
(I don't embarrass easily.)
"Who did the bris? This penis looks perfect."
(Seriously, why aren't you blogging? You gain friends, improve your writing skills, and legitimize the typing of such sentences.) (Also, remember acne chin? Ditto with the indignity and lack of photo sentiment.)
"Are you sure this is your kid? He isn't annoying me."
(And now you can begin to know just how much I love our pediatrician. He says things like that.)
So: two weeks old! I love this little monster that's sleeping on my shoulder.
Even though as soon as we got home from the doctor he pooped so dramatically that I had to wash his hair. (But wasn't he considerate to wait until after his weigh-in?)
Mmm, babies. He's cleaned up now, so he's once again delicious.

Royals look to keep rolling behind Chen
Veteran lefty faces Deduno hoping to move past pair of rough outings
After losing seven straight games, the Royals have responded with four consecutive victories, with the last two coming against the Twins.
They will go for a series sweep Thursday with veteran lefty Bruce Chen on the mound. He will be opposed by right-hander Samuel Deduno.
Chen was originally scheduled to start Wednesday, but he was pushed back a day when the Royals recalled Danny Duffy from Triple-A Omaha. Duffy moved into the rotation and replaced Wade Davis, who was sent to Class-A Wilmington because its season will most likely end Monday, which would make him available to rejoin the Royals when the roster expands.
Chen moved into the rotation just before the All-Star break and has started eight games since then. He held opponents to a 0.93 ERA and a .144 average in six starts from July 12 to Aug. 13 but has fallen on some harder times since then, allowing a combined 13 runs in his last two starts.
The Royals jumped out to a 6-0 lead Friday against Washington, but the Nationals scored once in the third and seven times in the fourth, with six of the runs charged to Chen. It was his second straight losing decision.
"I felt like I had my pitches, but I can't say very much," Chen said after the game. "We were winning by six runs, and I shouldn't have let that happen. I tried my best, I lost the zone a little bit, I walked five guys, I tried to make good pitches and they kept fouling them off. I wasn't throwing good-quality pitches. They fouled it off, I walked a lot of people and I feel bad because I let my teammates down."
Deduno is coming off a decent start against the Indians on Friday, when he gave up one run on three hits and four walks over six innings. It was a good sign for the Twins, because he had struggled in his previous three starts and was diagnosed with biceps tendinitis.
"I thought he had more life on the ball," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Breaking ball was sharper, and the changeup was definitely good. So he definitely had better stuff against a very good-hitting baseball team that puts the ball in play a lot."
Twins: Mauer continuing to improve after concussion
Twins catcher Joe Mauer started some light workouts Wednesday at Target Field and was feeling much better, general manager Terry Ryan said.
"He was doing some exercises," Ryan said. "He's moving around in there. He's doing some stretches and stuff -- at least he's active and so forth, feeling a little better."
Mauer went on the disabled list Aug. 20 after he was scratched before the Twins played Detroit. He is expected to meet with the media Thursday.
Royals: Moustakas may miss finale
Third baseman Mike Moustakas, who missed the first two games of the Twins series, may miss the third as well while he recovers from strep throat.
"It's a quick turnaround [for Thursday] and a very, very hot day," manager Ned Yost said. "Strep throat can really sap you to begin with, and we'll probably wait until we get to Toronto and it's a little more-climate controlled."
Moustakas missed Tuesday and Wednesday night's games with his illness. He has also been battling a calf problem since Aug. 12 and has only played six games since then.
Worth noting
• Royals catcher Salvador Perez has four home runs and 11 RBIs in his last four games.
• The Twins went 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position Wednesday and are hitting .226 (264-for-1168) on the season.
