Bose® IE2 audio headphones
" Update: Reduced design rating due to ever-tangling cable. The cable is MADE with some type of built-in twisting/tangling design flaw. Just holding the headphones in my hand, the cable wants to twist and turn and due to its material, it's never fully "straightened out" like most other headphone cables. Due to this, it's become unusable. I've owned the original Bose IEs and now bought these..." --xx0xx

Apple In-Ear Headphones (White)
" I don't know whether it's a conspiracy or a joke, but Apple's talk of these being good quality just makes them seem like hilarious liars who could sell ice to eskimos. If their intent is to drive aftermarket sales, then they've managed it. As far as I can tell these things literally don't play bass. It's just not there. The midrange is ok, and if you're tired, they're ok for watching movies..." --BBBS

Fish cages seen threat to Sual coal power plant
SUAL, Pangasinan—Hundreds of fish cages that have sprouted near a coal-fired power plant on Cabalitian Bay here may disrupt the facility and trigger a Luzon-wide blackout.
Ruben Licerio, vice president for operations and station manager of the Sual power station (SPS), has asked the local government to move the fish cages to a safer distance.
Fish operators began raising bangus (milkfish) cages on the bay in May, many of them 100 meters from the south portion of the plant's perimeter fence, he said.
"The proximity of these new fish cages poses a serious threat to the safe and reliable operation of the power plant," said Licerio in an Aug. 12 letter to Sual Mayor Roberto Arcinue.
Nestor Domenden, Ilocos director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, said the number of cages in the bay has increased from 400 to 778 cages since May.
These are 18-meter diameter circular frames made of polyvinyl chloride pipes. Each cage raises 50,000 bangus fingerlings.
"Our personnel have observed that fish feed residues are now appearing in the plant's water intake area [and this] can disrupt plant operations," Licerio said.
In December 1999, the plant shut down when thousands of jellyfish obstructed its cooling system, plunging Luzon into several hours of darkness.
The coal-fired plant, which is owned by Team Energy, a consortium of the Tokyo Electric Corp. and Marubeni Corp., produces 1,200 megawatts of electricity, which represents 22 percent of the total electricity that is distributed each day by the Luzon grid.
When Typhoons "Cosme" and "Emong" struck Pangasinan province in 2008 and 2009, respectively, fish that escaped from the damaged cages on Cabalitian Bay were sucked in by the cooling system, forcing the plant to shut down, Licerio said.
He also said the cages obstruct the routes of maritime vessels that deliver coal and fuel to the power plant and hamper its safety response protocol in case of emergency.
"The close proximity of the cages and their operators poses a security threat to the power plant, which is a vital installation," Licerio said.
Arcinue said he had sent a team to check on Licerio's complaint. "Some of the fish cage owners are hard-headed. They go near the plant. But we are doing something to keep them at a safe distance," he said.
Based on a directive of the municipal agricultural officer here, the cages should maintain a distance of 400 meters from the plant's perimeter.

The Congress, Telugu Desam and the YSR Congress are trying to capture maximum number of sarpanch posts in Krishna district, and they are leaving no stone unturned to achieve this goal.
The traditional rivals Congress and TDP seem to have entered into an understanding between them in several places to stop the YSR Congress candidates for the first time in the panchayat elections.
All major political parties are showing keen interest in extending all types of support to candidates they are backing. The MLAs of the different parties played an active role in trying to get candidates elected unanimously on Wednesday, the last day for withdrawal of nominations.
As part of an effort to keep the YSR Congress out of the gram panchayat polls the TDP is extending support to the daughter-in-law of former Congress Minister Mokkapati Venkateswara Rao at Kethaveerunipadu in Nandigama Mandal. The TDP and Congress have been at loggerheads at the village from inception.
Nandigama has always been a bastion of the TDP since the inception of the party. The TDP and Congress activists took their joint candidate Mokkapati Vijayamma in a rally for filing nomination for the sarpanch post. The YSR Congress is supporting the candidature of N. Sirisha in this village.
The Congress party is not supporting any candidate in Kanchikacherla, a major panchayat. This is because the Congress leaders of the village are divided with some supporting the YSR Congress and others opposing it strongly.
Factors other than politics also seem to be playing a role in these elections. Money is acting as a big lubricant in the arrangements and arriving at understandings between aspirants who belong to different parties. Candidates are all set to spend to the tune of Rs.40 lakh in major panchayats and Rs.20 lakhs in minor panchayats.
An army of revenue officials, 11,166 presiding officers and 16,165 other polling persons grappled with over 5,000 nominations filed for 969 gram sarpanch posts and nearly 28,000 nominations filed for 9,908 ward member posts in the local bodies of Krishna district.
There is a likelihood of sarpanches of between 100 and 150 gram panchayats getting elected unanimously along with between 300 and 400 ward members.
The officials said that it would be past midnight before a clear picture regarding the number of candidates who withdrew and the sarpanches and ward members who were elected unanimously emerged.

Soil Samples
- Dig soil pits and collect samples for lab analyses
- Determine nutritional requirements and soil amendments
- Variety and clonal selection based upon owner preferences and site location parameters
- One-year old vines are grafted onto a rootstock to maximize success. Rootstock selection is based on soil conditions, microclimate, and trellis design and spacing.
- Locate desired planting stock from one of many specialized nurseries throughout California
Vineyard Design and Layout
- Create design and specifications that take the following parameters into consideration:
- Aesthetics
- Topography
- Sun exposure
- Maximizing row length, crop yield, and quality
- Existing drainage
- Management efficiency
- Transcribe vineyard specs onto proposed site to ensure accuracy and efficient installation
Trellis System
- Install high quality steel highway posts and redwood end posts to ensure vineyard stability and longevity
- End posts are angled and stabilized in concrete
- Each row has six to eight thick-gauge high-tensile galvanized wires to add to the strength of the trellis. The irrigation hose attaches to the lowest wire, the middle wire holds the cordons (branches) of the vines, and sets of upper wires function as catch wires for summer growth.
Irrigation System
- Tie into the existing water line and install an underground main line that spans the length of the vineyard
- Install appropriate solenoids, air vents and pressure regulators
- Install a riser at each row and run above-ground drip hoses
- Install two 1/2 gallon-per-hour pressure compensating emitters per vine to ensure equal water distribution
- Pressure test irrigation system to check for uniformity and integrity
- Auger/hand dig planting holes
- Carefully tamp soil around the roots to eliminate air pockets
- Water-in each vine

The pil pil is on the beroak section of the menu. Here, you'll find bakailoa: a house-cured salt cod sliced very thin, topped with dice-sized nuggets of breaded, fried headcheese that crunches and then gushes pork fat and gelatin under your teeth. The richness of the headcheese plays nicely with the salty, lean cod.

One night, we splurged on the nightly special of cochinillo—roast suckling pig—for a whopping $30. That might be marginally acceptable at some high-end restaurants, but at Txikito, where you should order several tapas as well, the pig increases the bill considerably. When it arrived, though, all thoughts of money vanished. (This is my problem.) The pork shank was covered in burnished, crackly skin. Under the skin was a thin layer of white, melting fat and then perfectly fork-tender, faintly gamey meat, a porky marvel that sat in a pool of tart, herbal green sauce (tximitxurri, related to chimichurri). We jousted with forks over the crispiest bits of skin. This is the sort of thing that you don't want to share, but good sense dictates that you definitely should.

Guys' Night Out: 'Fraggle Rock' 30th Anniversary Party Brings All the Boys to the Bar
Josh Sussman has traded quips with Selena Gomez on "Wizards of Waverly Place" as a wizard-in-training who thinks he's a giant, and he's rocked out on "Glee" as McKinley High's resident gossip blogger. But he had never met a Fraggle until last night. Decked out in a vintage Fraggles T-shirt he's had for 10 years, Sussman was amped for the "Fraggle Rock" 30th anniversary celebration at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
"Meeting them is the coolest thing ever," he said. "You can't help but make eye contact. Even though, you know, there's nothing there. It's my favorite show. This is the perfect party for me. Having worked as an actor, getting invited to parties with free cocktails and gift bags is nice, but this party is really special. This party is meant for me."
If you're too young or too old (or too serious) to remember Fraggles, allow us: Beloved Jim Henson brought Fraggles to life. They're furry and small, and they live in the wall. They hate socks. They're indecisive. They have great names -- Boober, Gobo, Red -- and they hate to work and prefer to hang around binging on candy all day. Naturally, a lot of guys in Hollywood love the Fraggles.
Watch the "Fraggle Rock" opening theme:
"I'm an actor, so I'm definitely a Fraggle," said "Big Time Rush's" Stephen Kramer Glickman. "We go to work and complain all day. 'Oh, man, why aren't they working us? We're just sitting around.' And then they do work us, and we're, like, 'Oh, man, I'm so tired. I can't wait to take a nap again!' That's how actors are. Whenever I am having a bad day, I try to remember I had the worst jobs ever. I worked in a Sharper Image. I made some mistake there. I got fired. I got Fraggled."
With all the neon-bright Fraggle-themed cocktails and puppets making the rounds last night, the hotel's Spare Room almost felt like a Sharper Image store. Still, some people were expecting a little, well, more.
[Related: The Muppets Invade 'Good Luck Charlie']
"I feel like I should be on mushrooms right now," observed Bill Tangradi, aka Danny's friend from the "Danny's Friend" episode of "The Mindy Project." "There's no way Jim Henson did all of this sober. He must have messed with psychedelics."
Tangradi's wish list also includes going back to work for Mindy Kaling. "They are the coolest people I ever worked with. It was kind of awesome. I'm good friends with Chris Messina, so it was cool to work with a close friend. Please tell Mindy to bring me back. Be like, 'Oh, I just talked to Bill Tangradi. You should bring him back.'"
The bar felt like a romper room, with guests playing Jenga, hamming it up with Fraggles, and talking about great old TV shows. Sussman told us his favorite job ever was on the MTV show "Warren the Ape." It sounds pretty Fraggle-rific, too."It was about a monkey in rehab who sees Dr. Drew every week. I played his assistant," said Sussman. "Seth Green, Eugene Levy, Sarah Silverman -- they all appeared on the show. It was a spinoff of 'Greg the Bunny.' That was a dream job. I made some of my best friends. It's always heartbreaking when people come up and say that they loved it. MTV didn't advertise it. Darned MTV!"

International community worried about situation in Zamboanga
More News from Tarra Quismundo
MANILA, Philippines—The international community has expressed concern about the continuing conflict between government forces and Moro National Liberation Front guerrillas in Zamboanga City, noting the emerging humanitarian crisis as the number of displaced people and civilian casualties mount.
The United Nations and the European Union have called for an immediate end to hostilities between government troops and the MNLF fighters in a crisis that has dragged on for a week now, forcing thousands of residents out of their homes.
Luiza Carvalho, the UN's humanitarian affairs coordinator in the Philippines, appealed for "the safe passage of civilians caught in the crossfire" as fighting continued in Zamboanga.
"I urge all parties involved to respect and protect the rights of the civilian population, provide special attention to women and children and avoid unnecessary human suffering by reaching agreement to end the standoff," Carvalho said in a statement released by the UN late Friday.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimated that at least 16,000 have been forced to evacuate from conflict-stricken barangays while a total of 136,000 people were affected by the violence.
The world body said it was prepared to help the Philippine government in bringing relief goods to affected residents. The United States earlier provided P26.4 million in aid to provide for water, shelter, sanitation and personal hygiene needs of evacuees.
The European Union's delegation in Manila also condemned the conflict, noting its impact on civilians, especially women and children.
"We strongly condemn any violation of the international law and human rights of the civilian population in Zamboanga, especially those of women and children. We sympathize with the wounded and hurt, and offer our condolences to the families of the victims of this violence," the EU said in a statement.
The European bloc called for the "unconditional and immediate ending" of hostilities, the release of civilians still held hostage by the gunmen, and the safe access of humanitarian groups to those affected.
"We further urge that all parties recommit irrevocably and exclusively to the political process and ongoing negotiations to ensure a lasting, just and peaceful settlement in Mindanao," the EU statement said.
The EU, a member of the International Monitoring Team observing the Mindanao peace process, praised the Philippine government for efforts to end the conflict.
"The EU Delegation commends President Aquino for his firm commitment to achieve peace in Mindanao through an inclusive peace settlement, which is within reach and would be beneficial for all Bangsamoros," the statement said.

'Hearts and minds' campaign insults Afghans.
"'Hearts and minds' campaign insults Afghans."
On Friday, the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan distributed footballs as part of its "hearts and minds" campaign to win over "support from the local population." But the footballs instead "kicked off a storm of protest" because they were illustrated with the flags of several nations, including bearing "Koranic verses as part of the flag of Saudi Arabia." Protestors said it was "insulting for texts from the Koran to be put on the ground and kicked."

According to the prominant Western Philosophies this temporality of human beings achieved in the form of Physiological, social, cultural, material and religious gives us a sense of our self esteem.A philosophical thought propounded in 'Yoga is a mantra' based on experience and the metaphysical knowledge discovers the matrix of human Existence, Consciousness and its Conditioning. Methodology used for its deconditioning makes this philosophical thought dissimilis not only to achieve awareness for a healthy life but also makes us compassionate towards each other and above all makes us intellegere in our hearts the presence of the Lord/Dominus the creator of all the existence.A Yogin after attempting the way of yoga and its practices; asanas, pranayama, meditation and insuper the practices of Kashmiri yoga i.e. awakening of Kundalini which deals with the Consciousness 'Shiva' -as a man and 'Shakti' -as an embrio of a beautiful woman. Their cognitio sanctified in the midway between the 'Muladhara chakra' and the 'Sahasrara chakra' is an austerus technique no doubt but only justified by a Brahmin. It is a union different than achieved by the practices of Astanga yoga with the Infinitus.The ascetic technique of Kashmiri yoga is a process of transformation of the human body into a cosmic body in which the energy chakras and the veins play a consderable role profecto it can be experienced though difficult.

Knute's Grill erupted in cheers Tuesday night as supporters of Parkview's two referendums passed. "You couldn't hear. It was like the Super Bowl, World Series and Olympics all rolled into one," said Parkview Superintendent Steve Lutzke.
Two questions were on Tuesday's ballot, and both passed — the first question passing by only 26 votes.
The first question asked voters to approve general obligation bonds in the amount of $17 million to renovate and expand Parkview Elementary School and remodel and renovate Parkview Junior/Senior High School. The question narrowly passed with 50.57 percent or 1,146 votes in favor of it, and 49.43 percent of 1,120 votes against it.

Wednesday, May 16th (All times Eastern)
Miami Marlins (19-17) at Atlanta Braves (23-14), 7:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Miami - Mark Buehrle (2-4, 2.81) Atlanta - Mike Minor (2-2, 6.59)
(Sports Network) - After watching their ace pick up his first victory in over a year, the Miami Marlins hope that Mark Buehrle can continue his season-long trend of quality starts this evening in the first of two straight games against the first-place Atlanta Braves.
In his first season with the Marlins, Buehrle has gone 2-4 despite a 2.81 earned run average, having allowed two runs or less in five of his seven outings.
The veteran left-hander threw a one-run complete game in a win at San Diego on May 5, then faced the Mets six days later at home. He did not factor into the decision of a 6-5 win, yielding two runs on eight hits and two walks over 6 2/3 frames.
Buehrle, 33, has won both of his previous career starts versus the Braves, posting a 3.21 ERA.
He'll take the hill tonight after Josh Johnson led the Marlins to a 6-2 win over the Pirates on Tuesday. Johnson gave up two runs over seven innings, striking out six to win for the first time since April of last year.
"It's nice to get a win for our team," Johnson said on Florida's official website. "I just wanted to go up there and get deep in the game and make pitches. I did pretty well."
Hanley Ramirez hit a pair of RBI doubles, while Omar Infante and John Buck drove in two runs each as Miami improved to 11-3 in the month of May. That has the Marlins 3 1/2 games behind the Braves for first place in the National League East.
Atlanta leads the division by a half-game over Washington following Tuesday's 6-2 victory against the Reds. Tim Hudson got the win with seven innings of two-run ball and was staked to a 6-0 lead by the end of the fourth as the Braves' offense got to Reds starter Johnny Cueto early.
"Any lead is nice for a starting pitcher," said Hudson about the run support he received. "Obviously coming into tonight, we thought runs were going to be tough to get. Cueto's been tough all year. We were able to get to him kind of early and catch him on a tough night."
Martin Prado finished with three hits, an RBI and a run scored, Michael Bourn also smacked three hits and scored twice and Brian McCann added a solo homer to help the Braves earn their fourth win in five tries.
Atlanta played without first baseman Freddie Freeman due to scratches on both of his eyes, though he is hopeful to return tonight.
Getting the start for Atlanta will be struggling left-hander Mike Minor, who is 0-1 in his last four starts and has posted an 11.81 ERA in his last three outings.
Minor lasted a season-low 4 2/3 frames on Friday in St. Louis, giving up six runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts in a no-decision.
"I felt good early on," he said on Atlanta's website. "They're a good hitting team, and they did what they are supposed to and hit some home runs off me."
The 24-year-old Minor's rough outing came just six days after he was touched for eight runs on 10 hits and four walks in five frames at Colorado.
Minor is 2-2 with a 6.59 ERA in seven starts this season and hold a lifetime ERA of 6.46 in three previous meetings with the Marlins without a decision.
The Braves won 12 of 18 last year versus the Marlins, but took just five of nine at home.

13 NON AWKWARD V-Day ideas for NEW couples!
Are you part of a new couple? Is this your FIRST valentine's day? I know, it can be super awkward right? Luckily I'm here to help….here's some NON AWKWARD dates for Valentine's day for all you new couples out there!
After months of "just hanging out" or whatever it was you two were doing, you're both officially off the online-dating market. Congrats! You're now more hyper-aware of Valentine's Day than anyone else ever, even the singles. So what now? Try one of these fun, low-pressure date ideas to save you weeks of obsessing — and a chunk of your paycheck on boring, overpriced prix-fixes.
1. Face-off your favorite eats.
You swear by the sausage pizza at the joint across town, but his go-to pie doesn't match up. That's a problem, and now's the time to nip this dispute in the bud with back-to-back tastings. Winner — because there will be a clear winner — buys drinks afterward.
2. Just do dessert. And wine.
Forgo dinner entirely in favor of drinks and dessert at your local wine bar. Your order: a bottle of inhibition-melting Madeira and a chocolate cake to share (or your own; whichever).

District Profile: Texas's 23rd Congressional
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
In our weekly look at congressional races across the country, we turn now to Texas's 23rd congressional district, where Democratic U.S. Rep. Pete Gallego, the incumbent, will face Republican Will Hurd in November.
Hurd, a San Antonio native and former CIA agent, is attempting to shake things up in the Democrat-held district on the border between Texas and Mexico. The race is expected to be very close, in a district that has switched back and forth between Republicans and Democrats in recent years.

The United Nations war crimes tribunal sentenced six Bosnian Croat wartime leaders to lengthy prison sentences on Wednesday for the murder, rape and expulsion of Muslims from Bosnia during the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
The top defendant, Jadranko Prlic, was sentenced to 25 years in jail. He had been Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed Herceg-Bosna state that Croats carved out in central and southern Bosnia during the 1992-95 ethnic conflict. The five others, including the interior minister ,received prison terms of 10 to 20 years.
A majority of the three-judge panel also said the late Croatian President, Franjo Tudjman, was a key member of a plan to permanently remove Muslims from territory claimed by Bosnian Croats and create a Croat ministate in Bosnia with the aim of later uniting it with his country to create a greater Croatia, or leaving it as a separate independent state. Tudjman died in 1999 and was never indicted by the Hague-based court.
While many cases at the 20-year-old tribunal focus on crimes by Serbs, the case that ended on Wednesday highlighted vicious crimes by Croats, who are Catholics, targeting Muslims.

Philadelphia Wireman
The Philadelphia Wireman is the working name given to an unknown outsider artist responsible for approximately 1,200 small-scale wire-frame sculptures that were found by an art student abandoned on a street outside a transient home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1982. The artist is assumed to have access to tools required to bend some of the heavy-gauge wire in the sculptures; it is hypothesised that the sculptures were abandoned after their creator's death. Nothing is known about the artist's motives. Many of the pieces resemble African art, and this plus the demographics of the neighborhood where the art collection was found cause some reviewers to speculate that the artist was African-American. [1][2]
Composition of Collection[edit]
The art student gave the work to the Fleisher-Ollman Gallery, which currently holds some of the work. Nearly all the works are wire-bound bundles, except a few abstract marker drawings reminiscent both of Mark Tobey and J.B. Murry. The artist tightly wound wire around objects including plastic, packaging, nuts, bolts, newspaper/magazine cutouts, electrical parts, batteries, coins and other items. Some bundles used rubber bands or tape to bind the objects together. Based on internal evidence, the collection has been dated to around 1970.[3]
The collection was first exhibited in 1985,[4] and has since been shown in venues including the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; the San Jose Museum of Art; the Musée d'Art Brut, Lausanne; the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts; the Museum for African Art, New York; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; and the American Folk Art Museum, New York.[5]
The artist's unusual, possibly monomaniacal devotion to the particular demands of his chosen form has led to comparisons with artist Henry Darger. The construction process is similar to that of American Indian medicine bundles, African tribal fetish objects, and classical sculpture.
Wireman Comics[edit]
A comic book series has been developed by children's author Sue Stauffacher, which is loosely based on the story of the Philadelphia Wireman. The series is available online at Wireman Comics.

Best One Yet!
I have straightened my hair for yrs and gone through countless flat irons. I have a 2in Conair I love! But recently had my hair cut off and needed a 1in flat iron. I spent a week looking online and asking friends what they would recommend. I was about to buy a Chi until I read and was told by some friends not to get one. So I went to my hairdressers the other day to get some products and asked what they would recommend. They use this one in the salon! I love it! Takes me about 15 to do my hair now and I end up with super straight,shinny,soft non-frizz hair!

Don't Buy If You Want Something That Lasts!!
I have had the straightener for less than a year and it stopped working. It is a problem with the plug. Overall it worked very well, but if you are going to spend the money on one, you should get one that will last!

Loved It!
My mom bought me this straightener for me when i was a freshman in highschool,i graduated highschool a year ago and it just recently went on me. It lasted me just about 5 years and i really cant complain. I have really wavy hair, nad it worked perfectly. Although, within the first week of having it i dropped it and the plates broke. i got a new one shipped right away. SO the only thing i suggest is to not drop it. Other than that, I would recomend it!

I got this flatiron from my sister for Christmas one year and just a few days ago it literally exploded. I was straightening my hair for work and it let out this blinding light and sparks went flying everywhere. And now it doesn't work. It was so loud and bright my husband saw the flash on the other side of our apartment. Literally, across the place. I'm probably going to get a Chi when i get some money but this flat iron was alright while it lasted. Very sad its broken now :(

Don't Judge Unless You Have Tried Other Top Brands
This straightener is pretty darn good!!! I use to have use a different brand and it crapped out on me once so i bought another one and it seemed to always pull out my hair. For $50 bucks you can't go wrong!! My friends that bought Chi totally overpaid and u get this one that works just the same for $100 less. So as i see it if it craps out i can still by 2 more where as if the chi did well.... you get it

Omg i'm 17 I have normal hair basically anything fixes my hair. But my parents got me this flat iron and let me tell ya its abs. the worst WORST WORST flat iron i have ever used. I takes me at most 20 mins to fix my hair with a Gvp from Sallys and they are pretty cheap like 60$ but with that crap flat iron it takes me over an hour! One Hour to fix my hair I thought that was pure crap. If you get this flat iron you will very much so regret it. && I read the reviews for this flat iron and thought maybe people just didnt like it and i got it anyways but trust me dont get it.

Bad.. Just Bad..
I have had two of these irons. Besides the fact that I got charged double the price at the salon, the first one I bought from them tore up in 2 weeks. They took it back and gave me another. Well, it tore up in 2 months. Half the time it wont stay on, and as soon as I pick the straightener up to use it, it goes off. I do NOT recommend this one!

Don't Waste Your Money
My hair is pretty thick, this flat iron made my hair look broken and fried, it never looks like that. It does not provide any silkiness, like my old flat iron would. Maybe for fine/thinner hair it would be ok but not thick/wavey hair.

Best Flat Iron I've Ever Had
This is the best flat iron i have ever had, topping Chis and Sedus...Ive had it for 2 years now...I have BIG hair...unmanagably frizzy and curly, but after using this straightner (it takes like 20 minutes for me), my hair is perfectly straight and stays all day (with a little hairspray). I also do not straighten my hair every day...this is HORRIBLE for your hair, no wonder so many of you have damaged hair...also use a protective product. You should take care of your straightner...if you drop it or neglect it, of course it will break...you also need to clean it regularly.

Lil' Flip & Mr. Capone-E ft. Mr. Criminal - Still In My Drop Top Chevy
Artist: Lil' Flip
Featuring: Mr. Capone-E, Mr. Criminal
Album: Still Connected
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 38 votes )
In November of 2006, Mr. Capone-E and Lil' Flip hooked up for the underground album, Connected. Fourteen months later, the two Texas MCs have hooked up once again, this time for the appropriately titled sequel, Still Connected. The album, which was released earlier this week through Hi Power/Koch Distribution, features seventeen totally-Texas tracks, including the Mr. Criminal collaboration, Still In My Drop Top Chevy. While the recycled topics of paint jobs, gigantic rims and tinted windows does not create groundbreaking music, there is no denying that with a nice set of JBL's or Pioneer's, this joint might actually bump as hard as it was intended to.

Thursday March 13, 2008
PUTRAJAYA: SMKA Yan student Azali Azlan has set a new record by obtaining 21 As 20 1As and one 2A in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.
He has beaten the record set by former SMK Ulu Tiram student Nur Amalina Che Bakri who scored 17 1As in 2004.
We encourage students to take between eight to 10 subjects but because it is an open certificate, we cannot stop students from taking more subjects if they feel they can cope, he told reporters when announcing the SPM and Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) results at the ministry yesterday.
He said one student each took 19 and 18 subjects respectively, two took 17 and 10 took 16 subjects.
Azali, 17, who wants to study biotechnology, either in the United States or Britain, said he wanted to thank his teachers from kindergarten to secondary school.
My success is not mine alone as I could not have done it without my parents and all my teachers, he said.
Asked why he took so many subjects, he said he wanted to prove to himself that he could do it, adding that he had obtained 18 1As and 3 2As in the trial examination.
Azali said he performed the solat hajat and fasted during the entire examination period, adding that he had dates and drank honey for strength every day.
SMK Hwa Lian student Quek Khai Ren was the only one to score 16 1As in the examination.
I am hoping to obtain a scholarship; thats why I did 16 subjects because I want to stand out from the rest who usually do 10 or 11 subjects, he said.
Quek, who wants to study either engineering or actuarial science, said he did not want to burden his parents as he had three younger siblings.
Alimuddin said 189 special students out of 355 managed to obtain an SPM certificate.
The best special student (blind category) is Loh Wei Siong from SMK Batu Lintang in Kuching who scored six 1As and two 2As, he said.

|D.J. Augustin leads Bulls past pesky, inspired Celtics
|03.30.14 at 9:23 pm ET
D.J. Augustin scored a career-high 33 points and drilled the go-ahead 3-pointer with just over a minute remaining to lift the Bulls over the Celtics, 107-103. Rajon Rondo led a balanced attack for the Celtics, with 17 points and 10 assists as six Boston players scored in double figures. Jeff Green and Jared Sullinger each had 16 for the Celtics, who fell to 23-50 on the season.
It marks just the sixth time in history the Celtics have had a 50-loss season, the last coming in Rondo's rookie season of 2006-07 when the Celtics won just 24 games and lost 58.
In a game inspired by the memory of two Boston firefighters who perished in last week's fire on Beacon Street, the Celtics and Bulls put on one of the most entertaining games of the season.
Before the game, the Celtics wore warmup shirts with the Boston Fire Department insignia on them. The coaches and non-uniformed staff wore the department patches on their suits.
As for the game, it featured 18 ties and 14 lead changes.
Green's 3-pointer with 2:40 left in the fourth quarter drew the Celtics to within two, 95-93. After a free throw gave the Bulls a three-point lead, Green's three with 2:18 left tied the game for an 18th time.
Augustin's three with 1:19 left put the Bulls up for good, 99-96. After a Celtics turnover, Augustin added a pair of free throws with 34.8 seconds left to seal the victory for the visitors.
The two teams will meet again Monday night, this time in Chicago, as the 41-32 Bulls look to improve their playoff standing in the Eastern Conference.
|Rethinking the Rajon Rondo-Jared Sullinger combo
|03.27.14 at 10:24 am ET
Rajon Rondo told Brad Stevens he would like to play alongside Jared Sullinger "as much as possible," but the Celtics captain and his coach don't appear to be on the same page on this one, considering the sophomore big — probably the team's second-best player at this point — hasn't started a game for more than a month.
"I like playing on the court with Sully," Rondo said after the C's 99-90 loss to the Raptors. "I told Brad I wanted to play with Sully as much as possible. Not a knock on any of our other bigs, but one thing that Sully does that doesn't show up on the stat sheet is he's probably the best outlet passer we have."
With respect to his encouragement of Sullinger's 3-point shooting, Stevens admitted, "I'm not as much an analytics guy as everyone portrays me to be," but the numbers support his coach's hesitancy to pair the two more often.
The Celtics average 29.9 defensive rebounds, 23.2 assists and 98.8 points per 100 possessions while scoring 10.8 percent of their points on the fast break with Rondo and Sullinger paired on the court. To put that into perspective, the C's average 33.3 defensive rebounds, 26.8 assists and 101.4 points per 100 possessions while scoring 18.7 percent of their points on the fast break with rookies Phil Pressey and Kelly Olynyk sharing the floor. Rondo and Sullinger are a minus-47 over 431 minutes; Pressey and Olynyk are a plus-21 over 418.
|Fast Break: Raptors claw Celtics, Rajon Rondo ends up in stitches
|03.26.14 at 9:46 pm ET
At the end of the third quarter, Rajon Rondo was getting stitches on his face, Jared Sullinger was 3-for-11 from the field and the Celtics trailed by 15. They never quit — far from it — but still suffered a seventh loss in their last eight games, 99-90 to the Atlantic-leading Raptors. (Yes, the ones from Toronto are winning the division.)
Rondo (9 points, 15 assists) returned from an elbow to the face in the fourth quarter, and Sullinger (26 points, 8 rebounds) totaled 19 points on just six shots in the final frame, but the C's (23-48) couldn't erase a double-digit Raptors lead. Avery Bradley (16 points) and Chris Johnson (13 points) also reached double figures.
The Celtics are currently tied for the league's fifth-worst record.
Closing second: After regaining the lead with five minutes to play before halftime, the C's defense fell apart. The Raptors converted their final six shots of the half, raising their field goal percentage from 40.6 to 50.0 at the break. Toronto's nine-point halftime lead rapidly reached double digits early in the third quarter.
Interior defense: Back-to-back relatively uncontested Jonas Valanciunas third-quarter buckets punctuated a putrid night defensively for the Boston bigs and forced a Brad Stevens timeout. Out-rebounding the Celtics and outscoring them in the paint, Toronto's starting frontcourt combined for 36 points and 16 rebounds in the first 30 minutes as the Raptors built a 68-54 lead midway through the third.
In stitches: A horrific third quarter only got worse when a Greivis Vasquez elbow split open Rondo's face between his eyebrows. Replaced by Phil Pressey 5:42 into the frame, Rondo received nine stitches before returning to the bench with a bandage on his face a couple minutes into in the fourth quarter. He returned with 8:05 left.
Mondo Rondo: The Celtics captain singlehandedly kept them in the game through the first 15 minutes. He had his hand in their first eight field goals (2 layups, 6 assists). A couple Green drives broke up Rondo's perfect start, but he got right back to work. When Rondo took his first breather 3:09 into the second quarter, he had impacted 13 of the C's 15 field goals (3 layups, 10 assists), and they led 35-33.
Johnson on the rise: As he has for much of his brief Celtics tenure, Chris Johnson made the most of his minutes. Checking in for Green, who submitted the prototypical Jeff Green performance, Johnson was everywhere. In 10 second-quarter minutes, he converted a 3-pointer, a pull-up 8-footer and a fast break layup while halting DeMar DeRozan's fast start (including a highlight reel chase-down block after Kelly Olynyk failed to convert a 3-on-1). Johnson's effort anchored a 13-0 run that erased a double-digit Raptors lead early in the second quarter.
Sully late: After finishing 0-for-3 in the first quarter and scoring only seven points through three quarters, Sullinger erupted in the fourth. He made three consecutive 3-pointers to cut Toronto's lead to four in the final minutes.
|Double '07: Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Celtics captaincy
|at 10:47 am ET
This is the first in a series on the parallels between Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge's last team to miss the NBA playoffs and this year's lottery-bound squad. A deeper look at the C's player personnel, potential trade packages and financial flexibility should offer insight into whether or not Ainge can recreate the 2007 magic of acquiring Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen seven years later in 2014. (Hence, Double '07.)
Zero score and seven years ago, Ainge faced a decision that would influence the next decade of his once great franchise: a) Trade a perennial All-Star in his prime to rebuild around a young core and a top-10 draft pick, or b) Trade that young core and the top-10 draft pick to reconstruct around his Celtics captain. Sound familiar?
As the 2014 NBA draft approaches, Ainge will be faced with the same choice he made in 2007. Therefore, the Celtics must first answer a pair of questions: 1) Do they value Rajon Rondo at age 28 the same way they did Paul Pierce at 29? and 2) Who is available at what price? Here, like Ainge, we'll examine the former first, as it will influence every other decision made this summer (as well as the ensuing posts in this series).
|Fast Break: Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley too cool for LeBron James-less Heat
|03.19.14 at 9:51 pm ET
Rajon Rondo scored just nine points, but he was the best player on the floor all night, taking over the fourth quarter in a 101-96 victory against the two-time defending NBA champion Heat. Of course, it didn't hurt that LeBron James (back spasms) was relegated to the Miami bench, but still — this was Rondo's night.
The Celtics point guard finished one point shy of a triple-double (15 assists, 10 rebounds), ending a five-game losing streak. Avery Bradley's 23 points, including a career-high six 3-pointers, led the scoring effort, and four other Celtics reached double figures: Brandon Bass (18 points), Jared Sullinger (14 points), Jeff Green (13 points) and Kelly Olynyk (10 points). And the Celtics needed all of it from each of them.
The Celtics improved to 23-46, moving one win ahead of the Lakers and Suns for the NBA's seventh-worst record.
Bradley's back: After making just six of his 25 attempts from outside of 10 feet in his first three games back from an ankle injury, Bradley found the stroke that made him so successful early this season. The soon-to-be free agent knocked down three of his six first-half 3-point attempts and added a long jumper to enter the break with 11 points. In all, the C's shot 50 percent (9-18) from distance over the first two quarters and stayed within 56-53 after two.
Charmed third: Working inside and out, Bradley and Brandon Bass shot a combined 8-of-8 from the field to score 21 of the C's 27 third-quarter points. Rondo was on the feeding end of four of those buckets, finishing with six assists in the frame. As a result, the Celtics took an 80-78 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Bench press: The C's bench situation isn't pretty. It's comprised of four guys who weren't on the team to start the season, two rookies and another player with 45 NBA games under his belt entering the year. Yet, they received valuable contributions from three of those seven players, as Sullinger, Olynyk and Jerryd Bayless (7 points, 5 assists) combined for 28 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.
Worst first: The opening quarter couldn't have gone much worse for the Celtics defense. While the NBA's two-time defending MVP sat on the bench, the Heat still scored 34 points on 70 percent shooting to take a 12-point lead in the game's initial 12 minutes. It wasn't Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh who victimized the C's, but Udonis Haslem. The Miami veteran scored 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first quarter.
No LeBron: The Heat announced James would miss his first game in a month shortly before tipoff. It remains to be seen whether he'll return Friday in Miami, but regardless of how they feel about him, Boston fans missed a player worth the price of admission. Perhaps a motivated Celtics team took it as a sign of disrespect, too.
|Celtics sunk by coming out party of Anthony Davis, drop fourth straight
|03.16.14 at 8:51 pm ET
Sunday night the Celtics proved they are nothing if not entertaining in this rebuilding season.
Former No. 1 pick Anthony Davis scored a career-high 40 points to lead the New Orleans Pelicans a heart-pounding 121-120 overtime win over the Celtics in the Bayou Sunday night. Davis added 21 rebounds, the first 40-20 game in the history of the New Orleans franchise. Jared Sullinger, who helped sparked a late fourth quarter rally with a 3-pointer, missed a trey with 11 seconds remaining that would have given the Celtics the lead.
The last two minutes of regulation featured a frantic Boston rally and several wild sequences.
Kris Humphries forced the overtime when he took an inbounds pass from Rajon Rondo and drained a 20-foot turnaround jumper at the regulation buzzer. Jeff Green matched his season high with 39 points while Humphries had another double-double, scoring 16 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
Green was fouled in the act of taking a 3-pointer with 4.9 seconds remaining and made all three free throws to tie the game, 110-110 before Anthony Davis drilled a jumper that appeared to give New Orleans the win with 1.1 seconds left in regulation.
Down one, the Celtics had a chance to win the game after winning a key jump ball with under 20 seconds left but Avery Bradley dribbled the ball off his leg and out of bounds, setting the stage for the frantic final sequence.
The Celtics lost their fourth straight and fell to 22-45 on the season.
The Celtics scored 39 points in the second quarter to take a 64-57 halftime lead. Leading the way in the second quarter was Green, who hit two threes and led Boston with 12 points in the stanza.
The Celtics led 66-57 on a Brandon Bass dunk with 10:40 left in the third quarter. The Celtics were outscored 27-18 in the final 10 minutes of the quarter and went into the fourth quarter tied, 84-84.
|Irish Coffee: Bill Walton's St. Patrick's Day revisited
|at 10:09 am ET
The NBA's Sixth Man of the Year as a member of the 1985-86 Celtics that finished 67-15 during the regular season — and 41-1 at home in the Boston Garden — on their way to winning 15-of-18 playoff games and the franchise's 16th NBA title, Bill Walton can wish you a St. Patrick's Day far better than I can.
So, without further ado, I give you Walton uncensored, about five or six Guinesses deep most likely (from his 2011 appearance on the Big Show two years ago):
"Go Green. Go Guinness. I'm popping one right now. Ten million pints poured every day around this great globe of ours — the globe, the most perfect orb, just like the basketball. The basketball by itself does nothing, but when you make it an extension of your mind the way that [Rajon] Rondo does, the way that Danny Ainge did and DJ [Dennis Johnson] and Larry [Bird] and Kevin [McHale] and Chief [Robert Parish] and Jerry [Sichting] and Rick [Carlisle] and Scotty [Wedman] and all the guys did — but when you're able to make an extension of your mind, of what it is you're doing in life, whether it's drinking a Guinness responsibly, whether you're bouncing that magic basketball for the Celtic Green, you can make a difference, and that's what we're calling everybody to do on St. Patrick's Day, the start of the college tournament, the most perfect harmonic convergence ever. Be bold, stand tall, quit your job and chase your dreams. …
"I only drink Guinness, the holy water falling from the sky, delivering spiritual guidance. We're blessed. We're so blessed. We're on record pace, and we're having the time of our life. …
"When this morning started, and it started more than 24 hours ago, the call to action was to take the day off. Who wants to lead a watered down life? C'mon. Let's get up and be bold. Forget just taking the day off, just quit your job. Make your dream your job, and that's what I was able to do. My parents ask me to this very day, 'So, Billy, did you ever get a job?' I'm closer than ever to being able to say yes. It's so special. The remarkable thing about Guinness in our world is that in the mother country, Ireland, St. Patrick's Day is a national holiday. In Canada, St. Patrick's Day is a national holiday. Somewhere, we got lost along the path, along the golden road to unlimited devotion. …

This is solution for car owner
Make sure you get a good quality bluetooth OBDII adapter. The first one I bought for $7 on Amazon worked with my friends 01 Hyundai Elantra but not my 05 GMC Canyon, after further investigation I purchased another scanner for about $20 on Amazon and it works great with my vehicle. I was able to diagnose my CEL problems and make the repairs myself. Only problem I have is that the metric units won't
I'm a mechanic and have used code readers like the Genesis 2 that cost thousands of dollars, and this program is easier to use and it's customizable interface gives better diagnostic information! So happy with it.
Fun. Pair this up with the Bluetooth OBD-II connector. Gives you access to a surprising amount of data. It is like having a test stand control room screen in your car. This engineer loves it.
Greatest app around
As of the latest update they have added a menu button so now it works with my LG G3. It took forever.
