Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself

It's ok. Its not the best leave in conditioner out there. If you have money to waste go ahead and try but other than that you could find something better from the drugstore.

I really like this - it smells nice, really detangles and doesn't weigh even my uber fine hair down. Have been re-buying off and on since I was 16 (with occasional periods of trying other products e.g. Ojon revitalising mist....which is fab but just SOOOOOO expensive when the Aussie does almost the same job for about 15% of the price tag).
Would recommend to anyone currently struggling with tatty/tangled hair.

This is my 2nd drugstore leave in conditioner I have ever tried. And after 3 or so uses of this, I am liking the Aussie leave-in Conditioner!
A little intro on me. My hair is: color dyed with dried ends and oily roots. I have straight asian hair. That saying, I only condition my hair ends. i use this aussie spray after shampoo and conditioning session on near-dry or dry hair.
-ingredient list: no alcohol (garnier shine slleek leave in condioner has alcohol). first three ingredients are water, aloe vera extract and some other natural extract. awesome!!
-hair is much softer to touch and feels stronger. It really is a good feeling to touch soft and strong hair. i say strong b/c when you gently pull on ur own hair ends with this on, it gives some kind of resistance back.
-smell is nice. sweet. tropical like. kind of like coconuts. :D
-my hair ends look kind of dry still but better compared without using product. then again, this isnt a deep conditioner though.
-hair ends still flyaway. i guess cause this is a light conditioner. ( i like heavy stuff like argan oil which really tames flyaways)
all in all, this is a very good product when used with in conjunction with other products to aid in flyaways, etc. a good drugstore item worth trying. glad for no alcohol in product!

Besides the convenience of product being in a spray bottle, there's nothing spectacular about it. It does seems to make the hair slightly stronger and more manageable, but I believe there are better leave-in conditioner out there in the market.

My hair is pretty damaged and this made close to no difference for my hair. My hair actually kind of stiffens on the ends once it dries and leaves my hair feeling... scraggly (for lack of a better word). Smells nice, but doesnt get the job done!

I love the smell of this. LOVE. This product is decent, not great. I've used other leave in creams that have worked a lot better. I use it every once in awhile just so I can eventually use it up and not let it go to waste. Won't be repurchasing though. It does smooth out my hair fairly well though.

I just like this stuff because the cleanse n mend conditioner is kinda thin, so I wind up w/a few tangles here and there when I am combing my hair after a shower, so I spritz some of this stuff on to de-tangle. It makes me reminisce on the "olden days" when my mom used to spray Johnson and Johnson's "No More Tears" detangler on my hair before she combed it after my bath when I was a toddler :) It is nice in that aspect as well. It's definitely worth the 3 or 4 dollars I paid for it.

Been using this for about 3 to 4 months.
I initially bought this because I fried my hair. It was cheap and I had already spent so much money trying to erase what I had done.
It isn't a deep conditioner so no one should expect it to feel like one. What it does for me is make my hair look and feel healthy. Never has my hair felt weighed down by this product. It always feels bouncy, clean and shiny.
I use this along with Aussie's 3 min miracle. When my hair is damp I spray this on the parts I know are super dry and fried looking. Then sometimes I air dry or if I am going out I blow dry. Your hair btw will smell awesome. That is if you enjoy a tropical scent.
I really think Aussie is going to be my new staple in hair care. The products are very affordable and for my hair they work. That is all I ask in a haircare product to do what it says it will do.
Edit* I should mention my hair is on the thick side but not coarse. I suppose I have a mixture of some coarse strands with thin probably more thin. So I can't say how this would work with someone who has very thick and coarse hair.

This product works really well for me. I spray it on about 15 minutes out of the shower, and every morning when I do my hair. I probably use it a little too often, actually. My hair feels softer and more lush, and it smells amazing.
However, this isn't the best leave-in I've ever used (unfortunately, poor college student that I am, I can't afford the one that I really like). For those on a budget, I think this is a great buy.

Vista schools nutrition department went from deficit to $1m+ surpluses
VISTA In recent years, the Child Nutrition Services department of Vista Unified School District has gone from siphoning funds from other operating expenses to consistently running surpluses, all the while serving tastier, more nutritious food.
When Jeff Landers arrived to take over as director of nutrition services in July 2007, the department had lost money for the previous three school years, the worst a $443,080 shortfall in 2006-2007.
That meant pulling money from the school district's general fund, which covers most operating expenses, such as teacher salaries. The department has since become self-sufficient, serving more than 22,000 students at 26 schools.
"When you go into the negative, if you don't have any kind of reserve … then you take money from books, chairs, supplies, teachers' salaries, (etc.)," Landers said.
The school district has for years struggled at the end of the school year to close deficits. It issued layoff notices to 76 teachers last school year but eventually rescinded them. The district closed an elementary school, moved another and laid off 35 classified employees. Administrators still had to close a $3.7 million general fund shortfall with reserves.
Some of the first changes for food services involved reworking deals with suppliers and in some cases changing companies, leaving an administrative position unfilled and adding more breakfast and lunch choices to attract more students.
Landers has worked in food services for schools for decades, first with a consulting service affiliated with Marriott Hotels & Resorts then at Alpine Union and South Bay Union school districts.
An important part of turning around the department, Landers said, is treating it like a business.
"We are in the business of serving meals," Landers said. "Education is the business of educating students. It is a business; there's dollars and cents. … If it costs too much and you have to lay off a teacher, then what did you really do?"
About 75 percent to 80 percent of the district's students qualify for free or reduced cost lunches and breakfasts.
The costs for those meals are recouped mostly by government reimbursements. Of its $8 million in revenue in 2006-2007, $5.1 million was from the federal government, $557,000 was from the state, and more than $2.3 million was from families paying for lunches. That wasn't enough to keep up with more than $8.4 million in costs, about 46 percent of which were for salaries and benefits, 44 percent for food and supplies and the remaining for expenses such as replacing or maintaining appliances and facilities.
The next school year, despite losing $287,000 in revenue and $100,000 in labor costs because of the wildfires that caused school days to be canceled, the department was able to end the year with a $256,000 surplus.
Landers at a board of trustees meeting last week gave a report on the department's progress.
"He took a program that was losing significant amounts of money … and he's significantly turned it around," Trustee Jim Gibson said in an interview. A chunk of the savings in Landers' second year with Vista Unified came from changing the way the district bought milk.

Like many other developers I aspire to write clean, efficient code and while I don't always achieve that goal I am always on the lookout for ways to help me in that pursuit.
It always makes me a little sad when I look at an error log file to try and diagnose a problem only to find it bloated with deprecation and notice warnings which are easily preventable with a little care and attention. I know you can turn off logging for these types of errors but I feel it is better to fix these issues rather than ignore them.
To that end, I have created a little utility script to tail the apache error log and trigger an Ubuntu Notification each time the error log is updated. This allows me to be aware of, and resolve these errors during the development phase so they do not make it through to the live environment.Read more

Over the last couple of years my role has expanded significantly and I have really had to pick up some good tips and tricks to try and make me as efficient as possible. One area that has had to grow has been my familiarity with linux, terminal and my comfort with the command line and so I thought I would share my top 10 linux commands which I use on a regular basis.
In no particular order:-
mkdir -p app/cache
sed -i 's/alpha/beta/g' beta-site.conf
I found this useful for copying a vhost file from an existing site and quickly change all the references to the new domain name.Read more

It was one of those moments of clarity followed quickly by a doh! from everyone.
We were trying to include a branch of one of our Symfony bundles in our project using composer but composer refused to see the branch. We checked the repository and the branch was definitely there so we could not understand why composer was not able to check out the branch.
To include the branch were were trying:-
[digital@devserver devsite]$ php composer.phar require htg/pagination-bundle:v2

The beginning of the year saw me working on the latest version of the Herald Scotland app (both android and iOS versions were released at the beginning of May) using Sencha Touch and PhoneGap. App development is not one of my primary skills and the learning curve from my comfort zone of PHP to Sencha Touch has been a steep one and one which I'm still far from conquering, however I thought it might be useful to share some of what i have learned and hopefully steers others away from some of the issues I encountered.Read more

When implementing HttpCache within one of our Symfony2 projects I came across a curious problem in that regardless what I set the shared max age to it would always show as s-maxage=0 in the network inspector and the cache result was always a miss. This puzzled me and so to try and isolate the issue I broke it down to the most basic example I could, but even then I still experienced the same s-maxage=0 problem.
My simple example was
public function indexAction() { $response = $this->render('HtgPageBundle:Default:fullPage.html.twig'); $response->setMaxAge(60); $response->setSharedMaxAge(60); return $response; }
where HtgPageBundle:Default:fullPage.html.twig just contained a simple "
Hello

I've been developing with Symfony2 for a while now and it is a fantastic framework which allows me and my team to develop quickly and efficiently. There is a fantastic amount of documentation on http://www.symfony.com but I sometimes feel there is a bit of a gap between the documentation in The Book and The Cookbook and something in between the two would be helpful.
I've recently been reading the Extending Symfony2 Web Application Framework book by Sébastien Armand and found it to be a good read for the intermediate Symfony2 developer and provided me with several ah-ha moments, some of which have already been incorporated into the projects I am involved with.Read more

I recently had to migrate a rather messy crontab from one server to another and to try and simplify things I wanted to split the crontab into managable chunks.
Unfortunately the crontab does not have any import / include functionality and I didn't want to use different user accounts to have different crontabs (this would likely cause permission issues, a management headache, and I would be replacing one messy solution with another) so after a quick Google I found that the solution was to create the separate files and concatentate them into the crontab.Read more

Recently I have started learning Symfony2 (having previously been using Symfony 1.4 and Diem) and I opted to try out the Sonata Project bundles, primarily so I could use the SonataAdminBundle for my CRUD admin interface to allow an easy and quick way to enter data and the SonataAdminBundle had a very similar look and feel to what I was already using.
I had a few issues getting the bundles all working together as the Sonata Project bundles come in 8 parts (all of which can be found at http://sonata-project.org/bundles/) and there were some inter-dependencies and undocumented configuration options which took me a little while to figure out. I did find it challenging with some of the documentation to get single bundles running by themselves and more challenges (and less documentation) about how to get them all up and running together and had to resort to a lot of Google searches and trial and error methods.Read more

Song Listing
|The album's slow grooves blend together on Janet Jackson's, Damita Jo. A couple of standout tracks, one on the slower side, "I Want You" which has a verse that's memorable, while "Just a Little While" is a good dance tune.
"The album is even sleeker and sexier than its predecessor, "All for You," and in saner times, that would be enough to ensure its success. New York Times

|Just as the furor over her notorious exposure at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show died down in the spring of 2004, the iconic Janet Jackson unleashed DAMITA JO. While the soul-baring, bedroom-eyed record is unlikely to win over anyone scandalized by her Super Bowl antics, Jackson's fans--and fans of sensual, soulful pop in general--should enjoy the sultry outing, which continues the theme of sexual discovery that she began on 1993's JANET.
|With over two decades of dominating the charts and a lifetime as musical royalty, Jackson knows her way around a tune, and DAMITA JO is swimming in pop hooks. There are a number of down-and-dirty tracks such as "Strawberry Bounce," "Warmth," and "Moist," which slink joyfully and lustily through the night. However, Jackson truly scores when she combines the distinctly carnal with more innocent pop notions, as she does with sublime beauty on the Dramatics-esque "I Want You" and with verve on the irresistible dance-rock of "Just a Little While."

Customer Reviews of Damita Jo (Explicit Version)
She's Back Everyone!!!!4/29/2004
That's rigth she's back and better than ever. Check out the CD and I'm sure you'll agree. ENJOY!!!!
Janet Finds a way to make you feel so good in her albums. I loved all for you and I like Damita Jo more. When I first got all for you back in 2001 I Listened to the upbeat tracks like All for u and Son of a gun, but as I listened more I find My self listening to china Love and Love scene(ooh baby) and these songs make you feel so many emotions and you know what it is the same thing with Damita Jo it is an amazing album and so diffrent from her previous and yet so the same.
Damita Jo4/11/2004
This album is the best of Janet!!!
Amazing Come Back4/7/2004
Janet Jackson has had many albums. Each album of hers always reflect on what is going on in her life. This album is amazing. She has her slow songs as well as her fast songs. Each one of her songs will fit any mood that you are in. If you are a Janet fan. THIS is a must have album of hers.
If you have ever listened to a Janet song or cd, then you know she has always encouraged fans and the rest of the world to think outside of the box in regards to such issues as racism, bigotry, illiteracy, homophobia, domestic violence, sexuality and self-worth. But for the 1st time in Janet's remarkable 20 something plus years in the music industry, she is asking us to think outside of the box in regards to her with the lastest release DAMITA JO. There are 16 songs and 6 "Dunk-isms" on DAMITA JO. What is a "Dunk-ism"? Well, its a term I use to represent the dialogue and skits between songs. And what does "dunk" mean? Well you will just have to buy the cd to find out, hehe. There is something on this cd for everyone no matter where your musical taste falls. If you like R&b, then the songs 'Damita Jo', 'Sexhibition', 'My Baby' w/Kanye West and 'Like You Dont Love Me' are the grooves you'll be jammin' at your parties and in your cars. If you're a club head then you better mark your territory on the dance floor early, because once the djs start pumpin' the anthems 'All Nite', 'Strawberry Bounce', 'R&B Junkie' and 'Slo Love' there wont be an empty spot on the floor. For those who like it slow and intimate then 'I Want You', 'Spending Time With You' and 'Island Life' will definitely set the mood. And for those of us with a freaky side, nothing says it lyrically better than the songs 'Warmth' and 'Moist'. A word of warning, please dont play the last 2 songs I mentioned around your significant other unless you are REALLY serious about um, well, you know. The songs on DAMITA JO will have you wanting to party, sing, dance, reminence and make love, but this time Janet is asking us to look beyond her celebrity and just accept her for being Janet Damita Jo Jackson.
Hot, sexy album. Janet's back again and at her best. Most notable tracks, Sexhibition, My Baby, Spending Time W/U, All Nite (Don't Stop), I Want You, Like U Don't Love Me, Warmth, and Moist. Every1 should have this CD by now.
This has to be the best yet from Janet! All types of sounds, r&b, hip hop, soul, dance...its great!
Janet's Feeling It Again!4/6/2004
I'm listening to Damita Jo right now and my senses are as hyped as always when listening to Janet blow her tunes. The music is different than her other CD's but that only makes it more interesting. She has a undeniable desire to get her feelings wrapped around the music and soothe you.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Janet's Damita Jo4/6/2004
Janet Jackson can do no wrong. She lets in all flow in this latest effort. Songs like "Sexhibition", "SloLove" and "All Nite (Don't Stop)" put the groove on. While "Warmth" and "Moist" give a taste of the naughty Ms. Jackson we know so well. This cd has it all: Ballads, Grooves, Old School, Funk. The Queen of R&B is back and i can't wait for her tour. Pick up this cd as soon as you can.
Surpasses Previous Work4/5/2004
I have been a Janet fan for a long time now and her music has always been exceptional. Two of my favorite albums of Janet's are Rhythm Nation 1814 and The Velvet Rope, but Damita Jo blows these two out the water. Her vocals are so pure (including her own background voice ins) and the album has a large amount of addicting R&B tracks as well as dance club bangers. The interludes are even great. A mixture between spoken word like intros and explanations get you ready for the up coming track. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes great music. Janet has done it again.
No doubt Damita Jo is slammin'...JDJ brought FIRE to this CD. No one is better. Listen to the CD, and listen to it again and you'll realize that at home, at work, and in the car you can't stop listening to Damita Jo. Its hot! Don't take my word, buy it...and you'll see that she has put together some great tracks. Thinking About my Ex, My Baby, All Nite, Island Life, SloLove are all hot...and it doesn't stop there.
Janet's back baby!!!4/5/2004
OK- first a note: I am a HUGE Janet fan, but I am also realistic. I don't LOVE everything Janet does just b/c it's Janet. My overall grade for Damita Jo is an A, or 5 stars out of 5. That said, the one thing I hate about this album is the interludes. They are complete junk. The only two that I can stand are Magic Hour and Country. This was disappointing b/c I love the interludes on janet. and The Velvet Rope. On to the songs: Damita Jo- 8/10; I like the beats and the lyrics. Would like it to be a verse longer, but really like it overall. I think it is a great first track. I find it odd that she speaks part of these lyrics later on the album and ends with a "thank you" but not at the end of the album. That interlude part should defintely have been the last thing on the album! Sexhibition- 10/10; I LOVE this one. Great beats, love the play on words. Rock feel to it makes it different from other tracks. Strawberry Bounce- 9/10; has some great lyrics, like the Jay-z sample and its done well, but a little more from Jigga would have been cool. Maybe on a remix? My Baby- 7/10; why so many reviewers mention this one as a standout is beyond me. I like it ok, but I expected something better out of Kanye on both his rap and the production. I don't think his guy is half the producer he's touted as at the moment. It has an easy vibe, so I like having this one on when driving. Spending Time with You- 5/10; filler. I really liked this song the first few times I heard it. But I could do without this one now that I've heard the whole album. I usually skip it. Island Life- 10/10; I love this song! It's perfect for playing while driving with the top down on a beautiful Texas day! The chorus vocals are a bit high and I'm not thrilled about the "echo" lyrics, but I still love it! I think this is my 3rd overall favorite track. All Nite (Don't Stop)- 10/10; from the opening line "this is sick" this track is pure fire! It's got awesome lyrics, great beat, and the choreography J's done with this so far is stellar! I wish the bass was heavier, but that can always be turned up. I suggest you crank up the volume and jam! R&B Junkie- 10/10; fun dance song, great beats, fun lyrics, def makes me want to get up and shake my groove thang! This is my 2nd overall favorite track on the album! I Want You- 9/10; great vocals, love the live versions J's done on TV, a very solid song. Like You Don't Love Me- 10/10; my very favorite track on DJ, I have to play this one at least twice in a row. The lyrics are great, I like the overall concept of the song. I think this would be a great single!! Not sure if this is a Dallas Austin track, but it sounds like one. Thinkin' About My Ex- 8/10; Beautiful song, the lyrics are fantastic. I like the concept and J does it very well. Very solid song. Warmth- 5/10; I'm not a prude by any stretch, but this gets a low rating b/c J leaves nothing to the imagination. Her delivery doens't make it sound explicit at all (except for one line where her mouth sounds full), and I find myself singing along, but I prefer ANY of her other baby-makers to this one. I'm not sure why she felt the need to be this descriptive in a song. Janet's babymaking songs are usually sexy, but this one is simply a boring description of oral sex. Moist- 8/10; the delivery on this one is incredible. This is explicit like Warmth, but somehow it seems nasty in such a nice way. The line "kissing on my mmmm with ice in your mouth" gets me every time! Truly- 5/10; filler. I can't stand this song. I liked it the first time, but after hearing whole album I think it should have been left off completely. I skip it every time. Slolove- 9/10; has a disco vibe, like the beats and the lyrics especially the "huh huh" part, I usually play this one twice in a row. Solid song. Just a Little While- 10/10; makes no sense to have this at the end of the US edition. Works better on the Japanese track as 2 tracks follow this and it doesn't seem buried at the end. This song is every single bit as good as All For You. Not sure why it didn't take off on US radio (probably b/c Virgin does a terrible job with promotion). The guitar riffs at the start are great, the lyrics are fun, and its got a great dance vibe. I'm Here (Japanese edition)- 7/10; semi-slow, pretty song. The lyrics are great except when J says "wit chu" instead of "with you." That part annoys me. Nice delivery and overall a good track. I like the concept. Put Your Hands On- 9/10; can't quite decide the vibe on this; sorta mellow, sorta disco beats. I like the lyrics, except the weird spoken parts- they don't make a lot of sense. But the song always has me groovin' in my seat without me noticing that I'm doing it. It's cool to be shy baby! Now that you've read this: Take my advice and COP THAT DISC!!!
Janet ...Miss Jackson if ya' Nasty4/5/2004
DamitaJo is a great album. This album is filled with both that same classic Janet quality that has come to be expected of her and that twist of erotica that lets you see the sensual side of Janet.I am still amazed that Janet can sing songs that cross the line of erotic and sexual and still manage to be tastful and classy. Janet never misses a beat when it comes to songs that will be classic club dance hits as well. Great production and superb twists on classic hits sampling artist like Evelyn "Champagne" King. BUY This Album Today!!!
Janet - Music to chill to4/5/2004
This is one of those albums you can relax to. I love the album and the more I listen to it, the more I like it. The songs just play in my head as I move through my day. Janet has done it again. She has made music that adults can vibe to. Not everyone is a teeny-bopper and I appreciate Janet for recognizing that.
Damita does it again....4/5/2004
Damita Jo is an album about love. Throughout the 22 tracks you feel that love and it is a great feeling. This album has something to offer for everyone from hard hitting dance tracks to sweet ballads to a song in it own league bringing back the '80s. For the hardcore Janet fan this cd offers them a new flavor since Janet collaborated with different producers (Dallas Austin, Kanye West) yet still gave them something different. This CD is the MUST HAVE of the season. "Relax, it's just sex" MYM
Aside from being a Janet fan, her latest lp Damita Jo is hot! It is uplifting, has a great new sound that a fan like myself hasn't heard of before from Miss Janet. This cd is very relaxing, melodic to the ears and very sexy! Damita Jo is still pushing that sexual envelope and I can only say kudos to you Damita jo ;) Pleased fan!!!
I love the Cd from beginging to end, Of course I have my favorites, and they Are Thinkin bout my ex,Like you Don't love me and Island life as well as All night( don't stop), This is not your usuall janet cd and that's what i appreciate most about she's not trying too make you dance on every song, it's a laid back chill type cd, if your looking for same old janet then i suggest earlier albums. but this is a hot cd that if you honestly listen without bias then you should surely enjoy it.
Janet at her best!4/4/2004
I think Janet has topped herself! Damita Jo reveals a side of Ms. Jackson that we had not yet seen. Its hip-hop meets pop dance queen! I definately recommend it!
Janet at her best!4/4/2004
This album is fun and energetic. My favorite is Strawberry Bounce where it can get you up out of your seat and dancing. Great album - a very strong recommendation to buy this album!
janet's the best!4/4/2004
The album is awesome! Damita Jo has everything from, rnb, hip hop beats, pop, dance, slow jams, and some funk! Damita Jo is definitely a versatile album and is definitely a great buy!
This album is fun. Somthing you can listen to time and time again. The beat is hot and it makes you want to dance. You really feel the songs.
Meet Damita Jo4/4/2004
Janet,Damita Jo,Strawberry, or whomever that may come to mind has created one of 2004's best of the best albums. Capturing the different people the live within Miss Jackson and expressing them through song accentuates Janet's versatility with the art of song. She coos on songs like "My Baby", a sweetly dismissive tune about her relationship with Jermaine Dupri and what people think of the two, "Spending Time With You" which has a resemblance to her brother Michael's Butterflies,the current single "I want You",and "Truly", a outstanding ballad which sits as a hidden gem towards the end of the cd. However, she's not to be outdone by her Britney-counterparts as she tears up the scence with raunchy dance tracks like "All Nite(don't stop)", "Sexhibition", and "Strawberry Bounce", the most kinky of Janet's alter egos. And magical grooves like the Euro-pop appeal of "SloLove" and the throwback sound of "R&B Junkie." Her sexdrive goes into full throttle with "Warmth", sure to bring a man..er woman to her kness, and "Moist." This cd is Janet at her best and is sure to keep people focusing on her music and not her malfunction.
Once Again.....4/4/2004
Janet has once again reinvented herself with a new fresh sound. Damita Jo is a great album with songs like Strawberry Bounce, R&B Junkie, and SloLove. BUY THIS ALBUM!!
Janet does it again4/4/2004
"Damita Jo" finds Janet Jackson in fine form. On hits such as "Island Life", "Thinking About my Ex", and "Like you Don't Love me" she unleashes pop/r&b gold upon our ears. With the other divas from the 80's losing their way this decade, Janet marches on not missing a step.

this album is a great mix of r&b and pop. janet covers it all with a upbeat, happy album. i love it, this is an album you'll want to here over and over. She makes you dance and feel good about life and love.
Damita Jo scores great points on my scale of her a4/3/2004
Janet's latest album, Damita Jo, has been a huge hit in my opinion. Miss Janet begins the album with jazz/hypnotic tunes and soft spoken word while running throughout the album Janet gives brief intermissions between her songs just to give her listeners a taste of what is to come on the next song. This album is highly sexual but at the same time full of passion and romance. Every song on this album is worth listening to. Songs like the dance beat of "All Night (Don't Stop)" the highly sexual jump-rope style "Strawberry Bounce", "I Want You", the intense sensuality of "Warmth" and the finishing touch of "Just A Little While". This album is very different than her other albums, but Janet always brings something new and exciting to her fans, and this- to me- is the best one she's done. Two words to sum up Damita Jo: beautiful and sexy.
Sexiest Album of 20044/3/2004
Janet, Janet, Janet....That is all I can say. This album is great! There are some shocking words but hey, she is a grown woman that can talk about whatever she wants. She did the damn thing on this one and I am really proud of her. I can already imagine the concert....Whoa!!!! Good job with Damita Jo!!!!!

Janet "Damita Jo" Jackson expresses love4/3/2004
Damita Jo is the album that Janet fan's all over the world have been waiting to hear. Damita Jo expresses Janet in love. With every track from "My Baby" to " I Want You" to "It All Comes Down To Love" you can feel the love and happiness that she is expressing. She also gives us our dance tunes "All Nite (Don't Stop)" and "R&B Junkie". If you listen to those songs and don't feel like dancing then we will needd to check your pulse. Damita Jo is here.
One word describes "Damita Jo" and that's sexy. Uptempo dance hits, smooth laid back grooves, and Janet's trademark sexy ballads all tie into the theme of love on this CD. One of Janet's best CD's and a must have for every1.
Purchase a copy of DAMITA JO4/3/2004
Wow! Like with all her albums, DAMITA JO is unique and different. Listening to the album for the first time, "Just a Little While" and "I Want You" definitely were the tracks that jumped out at me as being the hits on the album. It's a different sound thats refreshing to hear. I also think "Slo Love" should be a favorite track to hit the charts,too. It has that disco/dance feel similar but different to "Come and Get Up" from the ALL FOR YOU album. After numerous times of listening to DAMITA JO on my cd player, the other tracks are growing on me. I love "My Baby" with Kanye West and "Island Life" - very laid back, cool tracks...and "R&B Junkie" has the '80's sound that I miss..."Thinking 'Bout My Ex" is a truthful and sincere song people can relate to...How would I describe DAMITA JO? Cool, sensual, feel-good, sincere and honest....'til the next album....DAMITA JO has my vote!!
This cd is great, just like all of her others. When I heard the cd I was just happy because she has all these great beats and even if you don't like the words the beats will keep you hooked. So i definately recommend this.
Almost better than Rythmn Nation4/3/2004
is that even possible? Janet gave her all on this album. It is banging with a capital "B". GO BUY IT NOW!
Damita Jo is FANTASTIC!!!!4/3/2004
I am very pleased with Janet's new album and it's worth every penny getting! Every song on this album is incredible. The feel and appeal of the album is complete melodious and refreshing. It can't get no better than that! I cannot really pick a favorite song on this album because they all are just extroadinary. It's just too good to put down. Janet has done it again with Damita Jo. I am very pleased with this album and look forward to great things from Miss Jackson now and into the furture. Well done Janet!!!!!! It was definitely worth the wait :)
Forget the SuperBowl , Time to dance4/3/2004
When I first heard her middle name was the title not only of the CD but an actual song, I was curious. But Damita Jo has smart sassy lyrics with a great beat which continues throughout the entire CD. If you've liked any of Jan's previous albums you will love Damita Jo. It has a very funky R&B feel which she hasn't put out since 1986's CONTROL. The two singles (two of my least favorites on the CD) so far-Just A Little while has a pop feel and I Want You has a 70's doo wop feel. The standout tracks are ISLAND LIFE, LIKE YOU DON'T LOVE ME, R&B JUNKIE and SLO LOVE. Also there are three tracks that should have but didn't make the US edition. All in all out of the 19 tracks I've heard I'd highly recommend 16 of them as potential singles. NOW THAT IS A CD WORTH HAVING!

Are you ready for Damita Jo? I really couldn't wait to get Janet's new cd and when I did, it was worth it. The cd is very uplifting and is about love. Just by listening to it, you can sense that she's really happy and is enjoying life and music to the highest. She gives you some slow groves, up tempo groves, and of course the dance songs. Janet is back! With a great new album, sexy look, and her mother's strength, she's going to accomplish greater things.
Janet never stops, she comes back with hit after hit, and for some reason she always knows how to amaze us! As Janet said "She comes back in many different styles, and a new one every time." And, this would be a new one. Damita Jo is one of her best CD's yet and I am proud to be a Janet Fan! Go Out and get this CD for everyone you know!
Damita Boom!4/3/2004
Excelent!!The best Janet's album since "The Velvet Rope". New R&B sounds, sexy lyrics, erotic ballads, a very exciting voice and a lot of sex! An explosive mix that makes you dance, laugh and have a good time. Janet has made it again: the best cd of the year. Who said "Superbowl" would stop her?! Listen to "Damita Jo" and discover the Real Janet, sexy, sensual, erotic and very strong. If you like Beyoncé, Alicia Keys or Usher, this is your album. The best of the best: All nite (Don't Stop);the worst,it doesn't includes the lyrics.
The best Janet album.4/2/2004
I hope that this wonderful Janet album will not be overshadowed by the Superbowl performance. If so you all could very well be missing out on a wonderful album. The album has so many standout tracks such as sexhibiton, Truley, Slolove, Spending TIme WIth You and the hit I Want You. In my opinion the album deserves a 5 in every category because she well beyond on production, performance and composition. I definately think this album is worth picking up.
Yet Another Hot Hit From JANET!!!4/2/2004
Not surprising to any fans, this is yet another Hot, Sensuous, Sexy, Erotic, yet with that classic touch that only Janet can put on any music album that takes us into her new world... While still showing all the world that she has what it takes, "to make it," and bring us all on our knees ... and "loose control!" Wondering if, "We can take it?"
Best cd yet4/2/2004
This is by far one of Janet's best cd's ever. She has mixed the soulfull sound of R&B with some hip hop and dance. She has reinvented herself, again and done it with the style that is all Janet. I love this cd, and have told everyone to buy it.
I Love you Janet!!!!4/2/2004
Janet, Janet, Janet You are the goddess of my planet your new album "Damita Jo" bursting words as a neon glow I Love your songs they all belong to a beloved Damita Jo
Janet returns in her most enjoyable fashion. This time she explores her alter-ego "Damita-Jo". The album is full of Dance, R&B, Hip-Pop, and her signature ballads and interludes. Any true Janet fan will not be disappointed. It's one of the only albums in a long while that you can listen to from start to finish without skipping any tracks. Thank You Janet!
I got Damita Jo on Tuesday and I love it. I have not stopped listing to it. I recommend it to everyone.
Damita Jo is a MUST OWN for 2004!!!4/2/2004
Undeniably one of Miss Jackson's best releases to date, "Damita Jo" takes you on a ride from the bedroom to the dance floor in one seamless effort! From the sultry, sensual grooves of "Moist" to the endearing sentiment of "Thinkin' Bout My Ex" to the thumping club beat of "All Nite(Don't Stop)", there's something for everyone on this CD. "Damita Jo" is an absolute MUST OWN for 2004!!!
Janet is quality!!4/2/2004
Janet's new CD continues to add to her depth in the music industry. With each album you learn more about her as a person and she is being allowed more freedom to express herself openly!! I can't wait for the concert!!
Damita Jo, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm4/2/2004
What can I say Miss Jackson has done it yet again. I had to work a double the day the cd came out so I made sure that one of my friends and coworker went to pick up for me and for her! We both love the album! My absolute favorite cut on the cd is #10 All night (don't stop) It is by far the best club single she has ever done and ranks right up there with everyone's fav at the club now . . . Usher's Yeah! Damita Jo will defintitely be hit for all times. For crying out loud she showed more diversity on this album than on Velvet Rope. I believe that it is sure to get some attention and raise some eyebrows! Janet you go girl!! I love you always, stay strong my sister!

on Jan. 31, 2013 :
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I do wish there were more of it. The stories are so very well-told and reminiscent of all those deliciously spine-tingling monster stories kids take such delight in.
Very well-done, Ms. Cheek. I can't wait to read more of your work.
I will not hesitate to recommend this book.

Excellent! I enjoyed these stories. They are both attractively and intelligently crafted, although it took a moment for me to find the groove of the first. I was not prepared for the first to end when it did, but I am grateful for the way it did.
I simply could not stop reading the second until I had reached the end. Told with a touch of humor, humility, and eloquence, this is a story of uncommon power and ageless possibility. Highly recommended!

Production of influenza H1N1 vaccine from MDCK cells using a novel disposable packed-bed bioreactor.
Summary of "Production of influenza H1N1 vaccine from MDCK cells using a novel disposable packed-bed bioreactor."
A process for human influenza H1N1 virus vaccine production from Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells using a novel packed-bed bioreactor is described in this report. The mini-bioreactor was used to study the relationship between cell density and glucose consumption rate and to optimize the infection parameters of the influenza H1N1 virus (A/New Caledonia/20/99). The MDCK cell culture and virus infection were then monitored in a disposable perfusion bioreactor (AmProtein Current Perfusion Bioreactor) with proportional-integral-derivative control of pH, dissolved O(2) (DO), agitation, and temperature. During 6 days of culture, the total cell number increased from 2.0 × 10(9) to 3.2 × 10(10) cells. The maximum virus titers of 768 hemagglutinin units/100 μL and 7.8 × 10(7) 50 % tissue culture infectious doses/mL were obtained 3 days after infection. These results demonstrate that using a disposable perfusion bioreactor for large-scale cultivation of MDCK cells, which allows for the control of DO, pH, and other conditions, is a convenient and stable platform for industrial-scale production of influenza vaccines.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Influenza A Virus, H1n1 Subtype
A subtype of INFLUENZA A VIRUS comprised of the surface proteins hemagglutinin 1 and neuraminidase 1. The H1N1 subtype was responsible for the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918.
Influenza Vaccines
Vaccines used to prevent infection by viruses in the family ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE. It includes both killed or attenuated vaccines. The composition of the vaccines is changed each year in response to antigenic shifts and changes in prevalence of influenza virus strains. The vaccine is usually bivalent or trivalent, containing one or two INFLUENZAVIRUS A strains and one INFLUENZAVIRUS B strain.
Diphtheria-tetanus Vaccine
A combined vaccine used to prevent infection with diphtheria and tetanus toxoid. This is used in place of DTP vaccine (DIPHTHERIA-TETANUS-PERTUSSIS VACCINE) when PERTUSSIS VACCINE is contraindicated.
Influenza B Virus
Species of the genus INFLUENZAVIRUS B that cause HUMAN INFLUENZA and other diseases primarily in humans. Antigenic variation is less extensive than in type A viruses (INFLUENZA A VIRUS) and consequently there is no basis for distinct subtypes or variants. Epidemics are less likely than with INFLUENZA A VIRUS and there have been no pandemics. Previously only found in humans, Influenza B virus has been isolated from seals which may constitute the animal reservoir from which humans are exposed.
Poliovirus Vaccine, Oral
A live vaccine containing attenuated poliovirus, types I, II, and III, grown in monkey kidney cell tissue culture, used for routine immunization of children against polio.

Well, we know one thing: Jake Peavy sure talks like an ace.
Peavy, the biggest name to change teams at the non-waiver trade deadline Friday, exuded confidence at his Welcome to the South Side news conference Saturday afternoon, and seemed sure that he can return from a nasty ankle injury to pitch for the White Sox by late August.
|Jake Peavy wasn't sure about the White Sox in May, but they've gotten better and San Diego's gotten worse since he first rejected the deal.
He didn't even wait for a question to be asked, just diving right in with an opening statement.
"Guys, I'll first say a few words if that's all right," he said.
It was. Since he's new, even the most verbose radio guys let him continue.
"First off, I'm very excited to be here," he continued. "Obviously, I had mixed emotions over the last 24 hours simply because San Diego is a place that I've known since I've been a 17-year-old kid. So leaving there and the relationships I had there was tough. But when I got on that plane this morning, I left those loyalties and obligations in San Diego."
Out since early June with a strained tendon in his right ankle, Peavy was an afterthought on the trade market after being dangled all winter, ceding his spot as the must-have pitcher of 2009 to Toronto's Roy Halladay. He was taking a nap with his son Wyatt in his San Diego home when his agent, Barry Axelrod, came over with the trade request. After denying the Sox two months ago, a groggy Peavy acquiesced this time after a 20-minute discussion.
"I told Jake about the trade and said, 'Tell me no and we'll end it here,'" Axelrod told the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The news rocked baseball Friday, with some calling it brilliant, others brilliantly wacky. Most everyone agreed that it is vintage Williams, calling the Padres on the morning of the trade deadline to resurrect two-month-old talks on an injured pitcher and pulling it off without giving up anything of concrete value. Then again, the troubled San Diego franchise has been desperate to cut costs. Rumor is, the team tried to sell old bullpen cars in the "Cash for Clunkers" program.
While the Sox welcomed the news, some were a bit confused. Mr. Perfect, Mark Buehrle, was honest, telling the Chicago Tribune, "Some of us are confused figuring out what [Williams] is doing if [Peavy] is going to be another month away. I don't know what's helping us for this next month."
Scores of reporters showed up for Peavy's news conference, including filmmaker Spike Lee, who rolled in wearing a Yankees hat and exchanged hugs with Williams in the Sox's amphitheater. Maybe Lee was in town to shoot footage for his next movie, "Jake P," or a follow-up to his ESPN documentary "Kobe Doin' Work" about the laconic ace Buehrle, "Mark Kinda Doin' Work."
Because of Peavy's injury, the term "calculated risk" was the most popular phrase thrown around after Williams gave up four young pitchers and took in at least $56 million in salary from now until a possible $4 million buyout in 2013. The Union-Tribune also reported the Sox are kicking in "six figures" to help his family travel to and from San Diego (he has three young sons) and find a place to live in Chicago.
That might rub some the wrong way considering Peavy is making $11 million this season, but it was about the only leverage he had if he wanted to move now.
Peavy said he's moving fine on his injured ankle and will sit down with the Sox training staff to map out his rehab schedule. Some think a late-August return is optimistic, considering just two weeks ago, Padres general manager Kevin Towers rated Peavy's return this season at "50-50."
|White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf had to be talked into the Peavy deal by GM Ken Williams.
"I don't see why it couldn't be accomplished," Peavy said. "I've done everything pain free. I expect to be on the mound, throw a couple bullpen sessions, and then I assume I'm going to start. I'm not sure if I'm going to start or throw out of the bullpen."
"You're going to start," boomed Williams from the peanut gallery, as everyone laughed. Williams was dressed to the nines in a sharp gray suit and presented Peavy with a No. 44 jersey and Sox hat. Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said Williams and assistant GM Rick Hahn had to talk their boss into this move. If it backfires, it will be a rare black mark on Williams' trade ledger.
It was just two months ago when the unexpected news hit that the Padres agreed to a deal with the White Sox, pending Peavy's approval. Two of the four pitchers who were dealt to San Diego on Friday, Clayton Richard and Aaron Poreda, were reportedly in the deal then. The Padres wanted to cut salary then as much as they did Friday.
So what changed from Peavy's perspective?
"I just didn't think the timing was right in May," he said, starting a very long answer that would rival Paul Konerko for most complete sentences spoken by a baseball player consecutively. (Steve Stone is the all-time champion.)
"I think that when we spoke with Kenny and he spoke with the Padres, we certainly left the door open. But at the time, and I've said it time and time again about my family, being a big decision. And me being a daddy is, like I said, my No. 1 priority and the thing I love doing the most. I'm going to look after my children. At the time, I thought San Diego was the place to be for me. We were right in the thick of things, had won five or six in a row, eventually ran off 10 in a row. Injuries struck our team pretty hard. We obviously are in a different place right now than we were there then.
"The White Sox are in a totally different position than they were, not to say that anybody doubted where they would end up, just going through a rough stretch. But at that time, I was content in staying where I was, seeing if we could be competitive in the city and the town that I loved, and wanted to be a part of a winning team there. This time around, obviously, those things were different. Knowing that I was going to be on the blocks again this winter, having to endure another winter like I went through, I just didn't care to do that. Chicago is a city that I love. The White Sox are a franchise that is committed to winning, and I'm excited to be here not only for this year, but the next three years of my life."
In short, being a Padre for the next three years was sounding less fun by the day. Peavy is 6-6 with a 3.97 ERA this season. Last year he went 10-11 with a 2.85 ERA. At home, in spacious, pitcher-friendly Petco Park, he went 5-5 with a 1.74 ERA.
The Sox weren't much worse, record-wise, than they are now, but it's obvious this is a team that can compete in the AL Central, if not the playoffs. The Sox came into Saturday's game just 1½ games back of division-leading Detroit.
Peavy's home-road splits are a cause for concern. This season he has a 4.68 ERA in 31 1/3 innings away from San Diego. In 101 career road starts, he has a 3.84 ERA, compared with 2.83 in 90 starts at Petco and 21 starts at Qualcomm Stadium.
"I'm not worried one bit about playing in a non-pitchers' ballpark," Peavy said. "It doesn't matter where you pitch. You've got to make pitches. Certainly, Petco is a pitchers' ballpark, but in our division, we play in [Chase Field], I make four starts a year in Coors Field. You've just got to make pitches and get outs."It's true. Peavy has pitched in those hitters' parks before. Just not that well. He has a 5.77 ERA at Chase Field in Phoenix over 14 starts, and a 4.59 ERA in eight starts at Coors Field. He's never pitched at U.S. Cellular Field, which has a reputation for being a launching pad, and that was rumored to be one reason why he declined to move in May.
|Roy Halladay was third in the American League with a 2.79 ERA in 2009.
Peavy said he will likely be rusty. He hasn't thrown off a mound in almost two months, after wearing a boot to protect the ankle, which is good and bad. His arm's never been this strong in August.
"I understand there's going to be tough days," he said. "I can promise you this, and I promised Kenny on the phone that every five days I get the ball I'm going to be mentally and physically prepared to take the ball. I'm going to go out there for as long as Ozzie [Guillen] lets me have the ball and empty the tank. I'm going to give 150 percent."
No one had the heart to tell him that's impossible. Eighty-five percent of Jake Peavy is enough right now.
But while he's studying American League hitters -- he admitted to having almost no preparation for the league -- maybe the Sox marketing gurus could throw up a few palm trees to make him think he's pitching in San Diego.
But I guess that's in the past now. Chicago is Jake Peavy's new home. He seems excited to contribute to a winning team again, after winning two division titles and just missing a third in the previous four seasons with San Diego.
The clock is ticking on this season, and for the White Sox, this month can't go by quickly enough before they see if Peavy is as confident on the mound as he is at the podium.

They say, 'a dog is a man's best friend'. While most Bollywood stars have their own pets at home, there are a few films where the dog becomes the real hero! With Akshay Kumar's upcoming film 'Entertainment' revolving around an adorable dog, we bring you seven of the best dog films from Hollywood and Bollywood that never fail to touch our hearts and bowl us over.
Marley and Me:
Encapsulating the journey that almost each master goes through with their dog, Marley plays the lead character both in the film and in Owen Wilson's daily column in the film. From breaking furniture to humping the instructor, Marley wins hearts throughout. And life after the dog is gone can never be the same! If you've not watched the film, do it right away. Just make you have your tissues near you.
Hachiko: A Dog's Story:
Based on a real life incident, this movie is about a dog Hachiko and his earnest longing to have his master back. Picked up by a man, the dog bonds so well with him that he keeps coming back to the station every day to check whether his deceased master has returned. Another tear-jerker, this story is a brave testament to the faithfulness and loyalty of dogs.
101 Dalmations:
While most films have one dog as the central protagonist, here there are 101! A total riot of sorts, 101 Dalmations was a story that evoked fun and emotions at the same time.
Hum Aapke Hai Kaun:
No Bollywood buff can ever forget Tuffy, the dog from Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. While the audience kept waiting till the end for some miracle to get Nisha and Prem hitched, Tuffy took centrestage and made it happen.
Teri Meherbaniyan:
This was a rare Bollywood film where the dog was the hero in the story. Yes, Jackie Shroff is murdered and his friend is framed for his death. The only witness of his death is his dog Brownie. How the dog manages to avenge his master's death is what Teri Meherbaniyan is all about. A must watch!
Chillar Party:
A sweet children's film with a subtle message within, Chillar Party had the entire gang of boys embarking on a mission to save Bhidu, the dog.
What seemed like a half-baked trailer with a good amount of toilet humour forced in, the only saving grace for this otherwise Bollywood potboiler is the presence of 'Entertainment', the dog! It would not be wrong to say that the dog's screen presence overshadows a star as big as Akshay Kumar.

"Williams' Blood" – a single by Grace Jones, released in 2008.
"Williams' Blood" is an autobiographical song, written by Jones and music duo Wendy & Lisa, explaining how Jones takes after her mother's, Marjorie Jones née Williams, musical side of the family rather than that of her disciplinarian father Reverend Robert Jones. According to the lyrics, Jones' mother reveals that her grandfather was a musician who traveled with Nat King Cole, womanizing and drinking from town to town. The song describes her family's lament that she isn't more of a Jones like her sister or brother Noel while she expresses her desire to be free.[1] In the song's introduction Jones distorts a line from the first stanza of "Amazing Grace" declaring, "You can't save a wretch like me". At the end of the track when Jones sings the first two lines of "Amazing Grace", her mother Marjorie, a lyric soprano, can be heard singing the same hymn in church. The song's working title was "Keeping up with the Joneses", an idiom heard in the lyrics.
Time Out London described the composition as "among the most personal songs she's ever recorded, celebrating the contradictions between Grace's religious family background and outré public persona". The Independent said the song "employs handclaps and choral refrain to build up an almost gospel fervour".
The song was released as the second single from Hurricane in late 2008. 1,000 12" singles were released featuring mixes by Mad Professor, Greg Wilson, Ivor Guest and Aeroplane. Balearic disco remix by the latter was initially rejected by Jones' label but eventually approved.[2]
Music video[edit]
A music video consisting of clips from the June 2008 Meltdown performance, dubbed with the edited studio version of the song, premiered on Hurricane's official website in early January 2009.[3] It was uploaded onto YouTube on February 5, 2009. A Chris Cunningham-directed music video was reportedly in production in late 2008 but remains unreleased.[4]
