The barn is a country-lovers dream, where old oak timbers mix sympathetically with green oak to form a fantastic living space with a massive inglenook fireplace and where the galleried landing looks down on the comfy settees near a friendly wood burner and next to a spacious dining area and newly fitted oak kitchen.
There are three beautiful double bedrooms with full en-suite facilities. One with bath and two with shower. There is an additional folding guest bed or cot for children.
Step outside onto your barn patio where you are surrounded by open fields and views complemented by the newly restored farm buildings, including a picturesque stable block with clock tower.
A 3 minute stroll takes you into Ewhurst village where you will find pubs serving food, shops & village sports facilities. The old parish church adds to the feeling of history you sense when visiting. Ewhurst also has a cricket club and Hurtwood Country Polo Club. Guildford, Cranleigh & pictureque Shere are nearby.
What an amazing place! So much love has been put into every detail of the decor, every bit as good as or better than a 5 star hotel.
Stunning location with plenty of walks in the beautiful surrounding area. Situated so close to London this is an excellent alternative to staying in the city.
The owners extended such hospitality making every effort to make us feel welcome and at home. This really was a home away from home. We certainly intend to return. Highly recommended!
Having driven along the unusual and exciting road from Shere to Ewhurst, we wondered what to expect on arrival at The Barn. We were not disappointed! This superb barn conversion was everything that we had expected to share with our daughter, son-in-law and three young grandchildren who had just flown in from Sydney. We had a warm welcome from Ian Mills, who was very obliging when we asked for any assistance, but otherwise remained unobtrusive. All equipment from furnishings to appliances was of good quality and very clean and comfortable. It was exciting for the children to find quite a number of toys in various cupboards, as well as having lots of room to play outdoors, not to mention the wonderful recently upgraded play park at the end of the driveway. Instead of kangaroos or wallabies, the children loved seeing the deer in the vicinity of the house! The Barn's geographic position was ideal for friends and family to visit, or for us to meet with them. Access to London by train, Legoland, golf courses, etc. are all within reasonable reach, and the local countryside, pubs and coffee shops were enjoyed by all of us. Grandma was given the thumbs up for a great find and we all hope that we might have reason to stay at Thornhurst Brook Farm again in the future. Christmas here would be magic!
We had the best time staying in Ian Mills's lovely barn. It was beautifully equipped, very clean, even fresh flowers on our arrival. We were able to entertain our friends on several evenings during our stay and we were all made to feel very welcome. Mr. mills was on hand in case of problems but everything was perfect. It is in such a pretty part of Surrey with beautiful walks and pubs close by and Cranleigh and Guildford a few miles away. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends and would like to come back another time!
The barn was clean and bright with a very spacious living area and beautiful modern kitchen. It was so cosy when the fire was lit in the evenings. Ian the owner, was most helpful. Our children loved the open space in which to run around in. We loved Cranleigh and the surrounding areas. It really is a special part of the world.
We recently relocated back to the UK after a stint abroad and rented the Barn for our first week back to act as our "base" while we moved into our new house a few miles away. Some friends, who are regular guests at the Barn, had recommended it to us and we had high expectations based on their descriptions. I have to say now that those expectations were, if anything, exceeded!
The Barn has been lovingly and painstakingly converted/furnished and, immediately upon entering, you are drawn into the cosy, welcoming atmosphere of the place. Ian and Denise have done a fantastic job with the conversion, especially with the subtle use of high-specification modern amenities designed for maximum comfort (super kitchen, underfloor heating, high-tech bi-folding patio doors, bathrooms etc), while maintaining the overall authentic, rustic feel of a barn setting (use of original timbers, tasteful brick and tilework, log burner etc). They also go out of their way to make guests feel welcome and we would thoroughly endorse the comments that others have made on this site in that respect.
As a result, the Barn quickly became our "home from home" and we had to literally drag ourselves away in the morning to go to our "real" home to carry on with the task of unpacking. Similarly, at the end of the day, we couldn't wait to come back to the luxury and comfort of the Barn and to sink into one of the two big leather sofas with a large glass of red wine. Our only regret was that it was never cold enough to warrant firing up the log burner as that would undoubtedly have taken the cosiness to a whole new level.
The Barn is great for families - certainly, our kids had a lovely time running around the garden, chasing rabbits and playing on the swings and the open-plan layout of the Barn itself means that there is enough room for them to tear about indoors too without the adults tripping over them. In terms of local facilities, Ian was kind enough to recommend a local restaurant in Shere which we greatly enjoyed and have visited on several occasions since.
Overall, we were delighted with our stay at the Barn and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it to others.
The barn was the perfect place for our group of two families. Ian and Denise have done a great job equipping the place with everything one could possibly need, including some yummy home made jam. We even used their landline on the first day as we were coordinating between car rentals and my sister's arrival.
Walks in the woods and relaxing on the patio was just what we needed in between wedding parties and trips to the city. My young one was delighted to share her apple with a horse on one of her walks, the athlete with us enjoyed running in the woods and the teenagers were in heaven with the Wi-Fi connectivity. The big room was perfect for our two families to spend time with each other as we were traveling from different parts of the world.
Thank you Ian and Denise!

Very easy to do -- removed a screw - pulled the broken center rail away and replaced with new one -- realigned the humidity control band - installed the new roller on the rail -- reassembled the unit and done!Note to those ordering new rollers. The mounting screw for the roller is not in the bag -- apparently it's ordered separately -- very strange -- seems like they should come together.

Nine Ventura County art students have been awarded scholarships through the Museum of Ventura County's Bonita McFarland Trust. Recipients include students from California Lutheran University, California State University Channel Islands, Oxnard College, and Ventura College.
The Highest Honors Scholarship was awarded to Chippy Scharling Todd of Ventura, a student from California State University Channel Islands. High Honors Scholarships were awarded to Erin Kim of Simi Valley, a student at California Lutheran University; Debi Nowak-Hawkes of Ventura, who attends Ventura College; James Cox of Camarillo, who attends California State University Channel Islands.

SANTA FE, Texas Santa Fe police say a drug bust led to the discovery of some horrific animal cruelty.
According to the Santa Fe Police Department, 39-year-old Brian Anthony Cheek and his wife, 38-year-old Veronica Lynn Springer, were arrested Friday night on narcotics charges after officers found almost 9 grams of crystal methamphetamines, a scale and packaging materials for sales.
However, while executing the warrant, detectives made a gruesome discovery, police said. Twenty cats ranging from kittens to full grown cats were discovered dead.
Police said the cats all appeared to have been tortured and killed. Evidence of strangulation, blunt force trauma, disemboweling and burning was found.
One of the dead cats was discovered in a box in the bed of Cheek s truck, police said.
Remains of several of the cats were picked up by the Galveston County Sheriff s Animal Cruelty investigators and will be examined by necropsy at which time additional felony charges are expected.
Cheek, already on felony probation, is charged with manufacture/delivery of controlled substances, a first-degree felony, police said. He is being held on a $300,000.00 bond.
Police said Springer is charged with possession of controlled substances, and she is being held on $20,000.00 bond.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Plane Mrs. Very nice hotel on a terrific location. Nice size room , clean, and comfortable. Good inside bar facilities. September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rendezvous Best Experience in 6 years of staying a ROS. I have stayed at the RO Sheraton many times in the last 6 years, but this latest experience was one of my best. The manager and staff on duty when I checked in honored an expired upgrade to Towers Benefits that I had and had been unable to use previously. Additionally the staff were extremely polite and greeted my wife and me personally. And in an amusing experience, several managers felt compelled to "protect" me when an irate customer (who clearly had a problem) acted as if he was going to pick a fight with me. I was even more impressed with how the staff handled the disturbed "gentleman". September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hollies14 Sensational views the view from our room over the river was fantastic great to watch the business of the river from the comfort of our room. The included breakfast in the dinning room was excellent wide choice of foods and friendly welcoming staff. The little shops in the complex were interesting and fairly priced. Enjoyed the evening entertainment and the lady who played local music dressed in thai costume was excellent. Décor tastefully done, Swimming pool and large outside area to walk around was refreshing, with birds, lawn areas and trees. September 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrHarry Great place to stay! Extremely comfortable, excellent facilities, and away from the Chaos of the city - 2 pools and a great gym - short boat ride to the MTA so you are connected, or plenty of taxis and tuk-tuks available to go into the city September 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KiwiKen Free WiFi Access to the Internet was not available in the rooms without the purchase of an Internet package.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Aussiewriter A harmonious hotel with lush gardens containing a beautiful pool, peacocks, otherr birds, and squirrels. For more than 20 years I have found this hotel to exist in harmony with its vibrant riverfront location. This harmony allows me to truly relax in the lush poolside gardens or merely sit and watch the continuous and interesting river traffic. Of course, the peacocks, other birds, lizards and squirrels in the gardens are always a delight. As a writer, this harmony has often been inspirational to my writing. The hotel appears to be well-managed and the staff well-trained, friendly and pleasant. The service is excellent, reliable and timely and the wide range of food options are appropriate and delicious. I usually exercise in each of the two pools daily and regularly travel on the free hotel boat to and from nearby shops and trains. September 9, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3DecadeExpat Excellent Riverside Hotel Being one of the original guests at the hotel back in '83, with numerous stays through the '90s, when based in Asia, it was a return "home" to the same high level of service, quality of rooms, and relaxing comfort of common areas. This hotel is excellent for families, with a garden pool and a starting point for most river tours/cruises at the adjacent River City. It is a taxi ride to the major shopping malls and some of the major restaurant areas, as Soi Convent, but the fares are reasonable at Baht 50 - 70, and even walkable for those that like walking. My only disappointment was that Georgio's restaurant was under renovation, a restaurant that I and family always enjoyed when resident in Bangkok. I am amazed that this property never shows its age.

Food above average and room very comfortable and well serviced. Atmosphere relaxing which is appreciated when returning from business and often busy traffic. If you look hard the building could be a little tired and in need of an update but its spotless. We have stayed at Royal Orchid many times and have never been disappointed we always return. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashikur A Touch of Elegance In addition to other great features of this hotel, I will not forget the riverside restaurant and lounge. I doubt if any other Bangkok hotel has this level of river-side facilities. Having a favourite drink in the evening by the Chaopraya is simply heavenly. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by concorde01 holidays I use to stay here for many years. It is the place to be in Bangkok, large pools on the river, special cheese buffet on the river, great lounge.

Re: Performance drop problem. in response to Mac OS X Nate Helpful
It does seem that the 'crash' may have caused some sort of hardware damage. You could try booting into your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and use Disk Utility to verify and, if necessary, repair your hard drive. If your hard drive appears to be OK, then you could try running the Apple Hardware Test and see if you have any errors.
If all else fails, I would just take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run their more sophisticated diagnostics on the machine. Could be a simple fix - who knows?
Good luck,

Re: Performance drop problem. in response to Mac OS X Nate
Thank you! Ran the APH test (extended one, too) and got no errors. iTunes seems to be working fine again. Also, like 2 or 3 days later, my iTunes restarted as if brand new. Then again I have iCloud so I'm not worried about losing content. But after iTunes restarted itself, it restored songs I first dragged into it from Home Sharing when I first got this MacBook. I did lose my home made movies. Luckily, all my tunes and movies are in the original Music and Movies folders in Finder. Also discovered a new serious problem, when I'm working on Pages, it takes literally like 2 minutes to save it after hitting command S. AND it takes 2 minutes also to bring up the Print Screen after hitting Command 2. Does this on Pages and on Word. Any suggestions anybody?
PS I do backup with Time Capsule on the daily.

You have to wonder how in the modern world it is possible that a surgeon with 16 prior malpractice lawsuits for medical mistakes was allowed to operate on Maribeth Chase's brain. She certainly was unaware the checkered history of Dr. Robert Tenny.
Her tortuous trip through medical misadventure and the system that enables it was told in a long story earlier this month in the Kansas City Star. The takeaway message from this shocking event is that a doctor's history of alleged malpractice is often unknown to patients, and that doctors under such scrutiny often go undisciplined. Here's the cautionary tale.

dotCover 2.0 Adds Integrated Unit Test Runner and Visual Studio 2012 Support
JetBrains announced the release of their code coverage utility, dotCover 2.0, this week. In addition to support for the new Visual Studio 2012 RC, the new version of dotCover includes its own unit test runner and attribute filters.
dotCover was originally released as an extension for ReSharper that allowed developers to analyze unit test coverage in .NET. dotCover 2.0 now includes the same unit test runner that ReSharper uses, making it a standalone tool. (If ReSharper is installed, dotCover will still use the original test runner.) The tool integrates with Visual Studio 2005 or later, and supports multiple unit testing frameworks including MSTest, NUnit, MSpec, and xUnit.
dotCover includes 'coverage filters', which allow developers to include or exclude code from testing based on assembly, method, or type. The new release introduces attribute filters, which make it possible to exclude code marked with certain attributes.
JetBrains states that they will update dotCover again once Visual Studio 2012 RTM is available. dotCover 2.0 starts at $75 per license, and there is a 30-day free trial available for download.

Most of them area about the same when it comes to maintenance. Getting one that uses off-the-shelf parts is a much better idea than one that is all proprietary parts. I've installed and worked on one brand that is specifically designed to use off-the-shelf parts, to minimize maintenance costs.
Also, get a larger watermaker than you think you need, since they're generally far more energy efficient. For instance, if you need 20 gallons a day, it is often better to get a larger one and run it every two to three days, rather than running a smaller one every day. One reason for this is most watermakers need to be backflushed with water to clear the RO membrane. Running a larger one every other day means you waste less water backflushing the membrane.
BTW, if you do get a watermaker, make sure that the tank it is connected to is never filled with tap water. The chlorine in tap water will destroy the RO membrane in the watermaker.

Cpt. Mal Reynolds, Serenity

Vong Phaophanit and
Claire Oboussier
Private View: 1st May 2015 | 6-10pm
Exhibition: 2nd May – 26th June
Block is pleased to announce IT IS AS IF, a new video installation work by Vong Phaophanit and Claire Oboussier.Vong Phaophanit was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1993 and the artist duo are best known for their architectural and site specific works that examine themes of identity and dislocation. Fully supported by the Wellcome Trust, IT IS AS IF extends these concerns to explore topographies of memory and deterritorialisation and their confluences with the landscape of the human body.
Featuring a film work from a specially performed operation by Professor Roger Kneebone alongside two new video works, the maze-like installation invites us to become lost within its network of passages and a discoverer of a new sense of place, time and meaning.
Following on from a collaboration with Hot Chip's Joe Goddard that took place during the exhibition AXON, a solo exhibition by Studio Artist Robert Bell at Block Bell has been working with Hot Chip to develop the installation for their recent single Huarache Lights. A video of the original collaboration is available to see: here. Robert is showing work in the exhibition Aether from 7th April, at the UAL Showroom.
Gallery Director and Studio Artist Jane Hayes Greenwood is currently showing work in Material Tension curated by Day & Gluckman at Collyer Bristow Gallery and has an upcoming solo exhibition Shovel-Screening which opens on Wednesday 22nd April from 6pm at Art Bermondsey – 183-185 Bermondsey Street, First Floor, London, SE1 3UW.

PLATTSBURGH - When Samuel Bartlett was born, his parents were unaware of a condition lurking within him that would impede him from living the life of what most would consider a typical child.
His condition, known as 1p36 Deletion Syndrome, wasn't realized until more than five weeks after he was born to his parents, Shannon and Steve Bartlett. And, even then, the alphanumeric jumble left Samuel's parents with more questions than answers.
"When I got the diagnosis, the geneticist came in and told me what he had and handed me a piece of paper that she printed off the Internet," recalled Shannon. "It was the most negative piece of paper you could have been handed, with medical jargon I didn't even understand."
"It had a child who was probably one of the worst-case scenarios of 1p36 and just a few blurbs," said Steve.
The medical community didn't have much information about 1p36 when Samuel was born, and, more than three years later, the same is still true.
"There's not a lot of information, there are no books about it," said Steve. "There's such a lack of information and knowledge out there about what this condition is."
"It was such a big question mark, which was pretty scary," he added.
What is known about 1p36 is the condition occurs in one in every 5,000 to 10,000 births. That information, compiled by a nonprofit organization known as 1p36 Deletion Support and Awareness, shows 1p36 is "the most common chromosome deletion" that can be characterized by "moderate to severe intellectual disability, delayed growth, limited speech ability and distinct facial features."
In Samuel's particular case, 1p36 has affected his motor skills, speech development and hearing. However, how he has been affected isn't uniform with how others with 1p36 are, said Shannon.
"People that have the syndrome, they do eventually walk independently and have some kind of communication whether it's sign language or verbal with an alternative communication device, but it seems to take longer," explained Shannon. "Not all kids who have 1p36 are the same, though. Some kids have seizures, some don't, some have eating problems and need a feeding tube, some don't."

It's a church holiday to be exact.
The Manteca Kiwanis free community Easter Egg Hunt is Saturday, April 4, at 11 a.m. sharp at the Northgate Sports Complex in Manteca. Kids get a chance to collect candy filled plastic eggs and win prizes.
At first glance, the immense nature of Turlock's Our Lady of the Assumption, a Roman Catholic parish of the Diocese of Stockton, can make it difficult for onlookers to notice all of the little details.
St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Ripon was created in 1874 when the pastor of St. Mary's in Stockton gifted land for a new "mission" to the community.
What makes a church?
A building is a building, said the Rev. Karl Hauser, pastor of Manteca Presbyterian Church in Manteca. It's the people who "make the church," he said by way of prefacing his comments about one of the Family City's visually prominent places of worship, particularly in the downtown district, and stating his order of priorities first.
The Cathedral of the Annunciation is a jewel of the Central Valley.
The annual green day, better known as St. Patrick's Day, is happening close to mid-week this year. But that's not stopping those who have shamrock celebration in their minds and hearts. There are plenty of places to go to grab a green beer, but only two places – that we know of – to treat one's palate to the day's traditional food fare – corned beef and cabbage – and, maybe, even listen to bagpipe music played by a bagpipe player in complete kilt gear.
It's the one day of the year that everybody is Irish.
For Finnegan's Irish Pub and Restaurant, it's that time of the year.
For those looking to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day without having to leave the comfort of their home, Neto's Catering is the place to go with their annual drive thru event, where customers can pay just $12 for the perfect St. Patrick's Day meal of corned beef and cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.
For David and Melinda Si, first came marriage then a small family business.
It is widely accepted advice to not judge a book by its cover.
When it's time to make a donut run, I know my go-to place in Stockton – Donut King at 6323 Pacific Ave.

Some time ago, the horticulture staff of the UC Davis Arboretum identified 100 easy-to-grow plants.
With the decrease of available water and the increase of water regulations, it has become almost too easy for gardeners to surrender their gloves and shovels to the drought that has been scorching the state for four years with no foreseeable end.

For past 27 years, Earth Day has been a major event in Stockton.

If you've "outgrown" theme parks - or at least think you have - consider a stop by Six Flags Discovery Kingdom next time you're in the San Francisco Bay area. It's quite amazing, really, but Six Flags seems to have included enough attractions to keep every member in the family fully engaged during your visit.
The grapevine has an amazing power to transform reasonably attractive countryside into an oasis of culture and beauty that speaks to all of one's senses - and no place is that better manifested than in the famed Napa Valley.
There I was standing alone watching water cascading 1,310 feet over granite just hours after sunrise.
If you want to see Yosemite Valley's famous waterfalls at their peak during this fourth year of drought you need to do so this month.

This site is scored on its photo content—not videos!
Come on down to Cartoon Valley where all those cute and cuddly characters you know and love turn out to be giant perverts. Yes, this exclusive site takes inspiration from some of your most beloved characters. They plunder them from Saturday morning cartoons, animated sitcoms, big-screen animated features and comic books. The artists then sex them up and spit out some of the raunchiest toon sex ever.
They look exactly like the originals and even the music is like the real deal. Just listen to the soundtracks chosen for some of the 51 videos on CartoonValley and you'll know what I mean. You can't download the vids, so the only way to enjoy them is by streaming them in a pop-up player.
The vids mostly offer average-quality playback, but being cartoons they don't look too bad at all. Also, they're a bit short, but enjoyable all the same. Most of the movies show characters you know and love having sex, though there are some behind-the-scenes vids to check out as well.
It looks like there are about 491 image sets and they all look fantastic, despite being low-res (410X307). You'll see a mix of comics, fan-art inspired sets of drawings without dialogue, and an archive of illustrations. I must admit that to call the written dialogue a bit stilted at times would be an understatement. I'm guessing most of it is written by someone for whom English is a second language. Still, it always makes sense and the graphic illustrations speak for themselves anyway. Again, whether we're talking classic superheroes, stylized feature-film fairytales or other popular TV toons, the art is impeccable. There are also 3D shemales.
The website has got a pretty good design and it provides you with some tools that make finding what you're looking for pretty easy. For starters, there's a standard search function that helps a lot. What helps even more, though, are the tags. They're really useful for finding vids and pics that feature specific characters.
The website updates every few days with new pics. The last vid dates from December 27, 2012. I should note that the site also adds things like wallpaper and Flash games from time to time as well. One bummer is that you can't save the images in Zip files.
Cartoon Valley offers X-rated material that you won't see anywhere else, even if most of its characters are taken from popular works. If you want to see your favorite characters getting up to no good, you might want to give some thought to getting yourself a membership.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

My Husbands First PermI finally got my husband to get his hair permed yesterday after weeks of me trying to persuade him. His appointment was for 1.00 pm we arrived about 15 minutes early, we were asked to take a seat but almost as soon as we sat down a young lady approached us asked for Mr Pearce, she confirmed with him that he was in for a perm then she asked him to go with her to get a gown on. A few minutes later he returned wearing a black nylon gown with a black pvc apron over that. I said to him well you are all ready now, he said Stephi is coming back in a minute she has just gone to put her apron on then she will wash my hair and then the stylist will be ready to start putting the perm curlers in.
Stephi took him over to the wash station washed his hair then took over to the hairdressing chair, Stephi the asked me whether I was staying with my husband, I said yes if that is OK she said no problem and that I could sit in the chair next to him as that wouldn't be needed this afternoon. I sat down and made myself comfortable, I could see he looked quite nervous. Stephi put a towel over his shoulders and then a translucent pink plastic cape was put on him and fastened around his neck. He looked at me and said is this really necessary I said they just want to ensure that perm solution doesn't get onto your clothing.
Next the stylist arrived she introduced herself as Kate, she asked a few questions about what kind of final look he wanted. Kate then asked Stephi to go get her the pink and blue perm rods. Kate put on her PVC apron and latex gloves and started put in the curlers, she started with the pink ones, putting a perfect row down the centre of his head sponging some perm solution onto each curler as she went on. Then she put the blue curlers down each side of his head.
It took about 40 minutes to put all the curlers in, Stephi then smeared vaseline around his hairline then stuck cotton wool to that. Kate then took a squeasy bottle full of perm solution and saturated each curler in lotion next a pink hair net was placed over the curlers and then some more perm solution was applied. Stephi then carefully put a plastic cap on his head placing it so to keep the cotton wool around his hairline in place. I thought he looked so cute sat there in his curlers, next the hood dryer was brought over and placed over his head. At this point I decided to leave and do some shopping while the perm solution worked.
When I returned he was already done and he was having his hair washed an neutralised. When he came back to the chair his hair was a mass of curls. Kate blow dryed his hair and I think it really suits him and the good new is he really likes it although he said that he didn't enjoy the process of having it done.
Where do you live? I have been in many salons and gotten many perms and have never once been anywhere where they place a gown over a customer, a pvc apron over that and then the hair dressing cape over that. I've never seen that done or heard of it done that way.
"When I returned he was already done and he was having his hair washed an neutralised."
This story sounds so good till you read the above line line, a trained stylist would never wash the patrons hair after a perm. Wait at least three days, longer if you can.
Makes the story quite suspect!
My first perm
I had perm appt at 8 am this morning at a salon. When I got there the stylist wash my hair and than took me to her station where she asked what kind of perm I was looking for. I have very short hair so we talked for 5 min and she said can I give you a nice perm and I said yes do what ever you would like. She start to put perm rods in and 20 min later my head was all rolled in yellow and red rods. At this time I was very nervous as she said its time . I said time and she said Yeh , time for perm lotion and the point of no return, before I could say No I could smell this stuff and wow I was going to be curly soon. 2 hours later wow my hair looks very curly and yes I love it very much and I would and will perm again in a couple of months . Don't think about it JUST PERM IT
When I was growing up I often stayed with my Aunt who would give me a home perm including sitting under her dryer. Eventually she started taking me to her salon... Great experience!
I went to a beauty salon at 17, not for a perm,, just for a cut..
It was not a guy thing to do going into a beauty parlor and I made sure no one in high school knew i did that. . It was just by fate expecting only a haircut, I got my hair shampooed by an older woman. It then turned out to be a fetish & obsession of mine.. I've seen perms done,, but I really couldn't see myself in one... But.. the overall experience in there was just superb.. Kept going there for 3 more years but I really could of gone there everyday just to have my hair washed. After hearing these perm stories , I kind of wish I could turn the clock back and have her give me a perm.. 17 yr old in bundled up in the old lady style capes, cap, towel around me, perm rods in my hair, shampooed, rinsed , dried, cut & combed out by that older lady and I am caped up to my ankles in pink or sky blue wearing jeans and black steel toed boots.!. That would of been a sight to see! ..
I hope it was one of those older yesteryear beauty shops... I got my washed in one of those old lady places, by an old lady..... and it was beyond what words could describe for a teen guy.... ... Little nervous at 1st but , after the second time there I was hooked........ But theres no more of those places or those old world beauticians left ! They gave the best shampoo ever.. And I could only imagine how it would be to have them give you a perm.
I've convinced my partner into getting a perm. He's been growing it out for about 9 months now. His appointment is late next month. I can't wait!!
The pending perm on your partner sounds very exciting for the two of you.......with the appointment booked have you given any thought on what style of perm you are having done? I think we all would be interested in the details.
I sort of wish I tried a perm when I was younger..would of been great as I used to get my haircut in a beauty shop.. and despite embarrassment which I got over, I liked it when the elderly woman would shampoo my hair....Now I wish she could of given me a perm with the rods & sit under the dryer, then put the neutralizer on me & rinse me off . etc etc. The shampooing was great.. I don;t have long hair anymore and I'm just going every 2 wks to a barber.
I always wanted my mom, and ajnt or later my wife to urge me to get a perm, but I did it on my own initiative. I wore my hair in a 4' loose for for many years.

Much later I decided to grow it out and it is now about 15" long. I do not want to get it permed now for fear of damage. I get roller sets at least twice a week. I have several salons who do it depending on my schedule, but regularly two: the local beuty college and "Gene," whose contact I can supply in Asheville, NC
I love the idea of being tied into a a translucent pink plastic cape by a lady in a pinny and gloves. But I'm odd. :-)
Not odd... I had one put on me once in a beauty shop where I'd get my hair cut.. The woman that always shampooed me was an elderly lady & was missing new capes they ordered that day.... so all that was available was a bright pink one for the shampoo. Was one of the longest 15 minutes of my life laying back in that sink with that pink cape on... came right down to my feet even while laying back in the sink..
i love the idea of getting a perm and have done so on and off over the years. My most recent perm was three weeks ago when my mother-in-law got me an early xmas present of a trip to her salon. After hours on Saturday she and I settled in for a few hours and both loved the results! I enjoy perms of various styles and have sometimes tried more feminine styles - works for me and MIL loves it
I never had one when I had longer hair as a teen.... but now I wish I did after reading so many of these perm stories.. But I did enjoy going to a beauty shop.. I loved it after the initial jitters when this old lady would shampoo my hair.. Felt so good in more ways than one.
Great story. I too am trying to persuade my husband would perm his hair. Spoke to most of the women on the block and they adore men with curly hair.
Would love my wife to set up an appointment for me.
Wow, that is a bit of a marathon session but a least it is sorted out now and it should be good now for 2 or 3 months. I wouldn't worry about the redness around the hairline, I usually get the same but soon goes. Do you think James will be put off having any more perms now being as it took so long.
Louise, sounds like James is in for a long stint under the dryer. I usually spend about 1 hour under the dryer in total. Hope his perm works out better for him this time.
I love getting permed. I get 4 body perms a year and gives my hair a pretty wave. I roller set my hair alot and the perm really helps hold the set. You should try setting his hair on rollers for variety, you can really do lots of fun things with his hair
Thanks Louise I think your plan is best.Called into my Local hairdresser and asked about a perm,she told me my hair would dry out heaps if I had a perm on top of my colour and highlights.Planing to get one now in the new year.May just have my hair sett on perm rods to again enjoy myself.

Louise want to tell my wife about my love of perms but troubled it may go badly.should I just come out and tell her or start talking about wishing my hair had more curls......
Do you think it will be your husbands first and only perm or do you think he might be a regular now. I was very nervous about having my hair permed when I had my hair permed for the first time as an adult but now I just sit back relax and enjoy the perming experience. There are certain aspects of the process which are rather uncomfortable but for me it is all part of the perming experience.
Great story enjoyed reading about his perm wish I could share perms with my wife too.Plan to tell her of my love of the perm.Hoping one day to have a perm together....

Now, along with Justice S J Mukhopadhaya, he is hearing appeals from groups seeking to overturn the Delhi High Court's historic verdict of 2009 that read down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, thereby decriminalised same sex relations between consenting adults, and from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) groups that are defending this verdict.
Such a leap, from spectrum to sexuality, is a reminder that in a world where people follow increasingly specialised careers, judges remain the great generalists. Their remit may be only the law, but in its application this can range from land tenure to death penalty cases, from the lives of bar girls to the intricacies of insurance claims to the alleged crimes of ministers of state.
There's a reminder of this at the start of each day when lawyers for other cases before a particular bench line up for the ritual of 'mentioning' matters, asking for dates or rescheduling, all of which must be disposed of before the main hearing can begin.
The higher courts in all countries deal with a similar range of subjects, but the apex court usually limits itself to matters of constitutional importance. But in India, Supreme Court deals with everything, as final court of appeal and arbiter to the nation.
This gives it a curious status as both the most reclusive and yet accessible of all the great institutions of the state in New Delhi. Most people never interact with it, unlike with other courts, including the high courts, where the workings of our lives take us, for marriages and divorces, disputes over property and business, and finally the probating of wills.
But the Supreme Court remains beyond us, only visible from outside to journalists on their way to work at Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, exhibitors off to the trade shows at Pragati Maidan or just the mass of working Delhi that surges into the ITO area.
From there it seems a curious combination of elements of Parliament, with its pillared walkways circling the building, and Rashtrapati Bhavan, with its dome. In this day of omnipresent TV, the only broadcast image ever seen of the court is a stock shot of the oddly slender dome that is aired every time an anchor reads out reports of the Supreme Court judgments. Inside, it is a world in itself.

awesome views, very friendly staff. if you sit on the lower deck near the side rails expect to get wet. St Tropez was lovely. enjoyed it on Tue with the outdoor market. Small beach within walking distance and enough reasonable($) outdoor shops for the non super rich Restaurant prices were comprable to the rest of France

The effect of the dual Src/Abl kinase inhibitor AZD0530 on Philadelphia positive leukaemia cell lines
Med. Klinik II/Abt. Hämatologie, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, 60590 Frankfurt, Germany
BMC Cancer 2009, 9:53 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-9-53Published: 13 February 2009
Imatinib mesylate, a selective inhibitor of Abl tyrosine kinase, is efficacious in treating chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). However, most advanced-phase CML and Ph+ ALL patients relapse on Imatinib therapy. Several mechanisms of refractoriness have been reported, including the activation of the Src-family kinases (SFK). Here, we investigated the biological effect of the new specific dual Src/Abl kinase inhibitor AZD0530 on Ph+ leukaemic cells.
Cell lines used included BV173 (CML in myeloid blast crisis), SEM t(4;11), Ba/F3 (IL-3 dependent murine pro B), p185Bcr-Abl infected Ba/F3 cells, p185Bcr-Abl mutant infected Ba/F3 cells, SupB15 (Ph+ ALL) and Imatinib resistant SupB15 (RTSupB15) (Ph+ ALL) cells. Cells were exposed to AZD0530 and Imatinib. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, survival and signalling pathways were assessed by dye exclusion, flow cytometry and Western blotting respectively.
AZD0530 specifically inhibited the growth of, and induced apoptosis in CML and Ph+ ALL cells in a dose dependent manner, but showed only marginal effects on Ph- ALL cells. Resistance to Imatinib due to the mutation Y253F in p185Bcr-Abl was overcome by AZD0530. Combination of AZD0530 and Imatinib showed an additive inhibitory effect on the proliferation of CML BV173 cells but not on Ph+ ALL SupB15 cells. An ongoing transphosphorylation was demonstrated between SFKs and Bcr-Abl. AZD0530 significantly down-regulated the activation of survival signalling pathways in Ph+ cells, resistant or sensitive to Imatinib, with the exception of the RTSupB15.
Our results indicate that AZD0530 targets both Src and Bcr-Abl kinase activity and reduces the leukaemic maintenance by Bcr-Abl.

I've encountered many albums that were not quite what I had expected them to be in my time. About 52 seconds into this album, this turned into one. Celtic-styled female vocals pop up, and if it weren't for the other aspects of this album, I'd feel as if I had stolen my sister's CD collection when I was drunk and accidentally popped in one of her Cranberries albums. Luckily, this album has much more to offer than the horribly incongruous female vocals on the first song, "Vampyria."
First of all, the riffs on this album are absolutely killer at certain places, and no worse than listenable at any other place. The aforementioned "killer" riffs sound like the best of Aeternus (see …and So the Night Became or Beyond the Wandering Moon) but with way more, you guessed it, Celtic influence. At worst, they sound like Satyricon-reject riffs. I mean, back when Satyr had standards and actually did reject riffs. The male vocalist even sounds strangely like Satyr. A nice raspy, guttural growl, but singing in (what I think is) Swedish. The lyrics seem to mostly be about vampirism and other silly stuff, but since it's in Swedish(?), I can't really understand it, and therefore I don't really care. Aurally, there are some really, really awesome vocal parts in this, usually involving our resident Satyr-clone and aforementioned Celtic-styled female vocalist singing together, which sounds surprisingly great.
The drumming is sort of weak, but it fits and carries the rest of the music well, invariably. It's basic, bob-your-head, so devoid of blast beats that you feel as if you've never listened to Angel Corpse, black metal drumming. Thus, we move onto the only real problem with this album, the fact that it sounds like black metal, but isn't. This is what you get when you combine the crappy aesthetic of bands like Cradle of Filth and (new) Ancient with a great musical sound. There is no hatred here. There is no malice here. In fact, this sounds so painfully happy sometimes that you think you're listening to a Gothenburg band that was too poor to get Dan Swano to produce their album.
Conclusions: Sounds like Satyr date-raped Dolores Riordan (that wacky broad from the Cranberries), got her pregnant, and used the alimony as blackmail with which to get her to sing on his new album. I still like it though. Great male vocals, a decent female vocal sound which is more than made up for with the vocal techniques that are used, guitar-work that is at worst competent, and drumming that isn't that great, but probably won't bother anyone. This isn't for you if you're looking for ugly music. If you've been listening to old Ildjarn for the past 5 years straight, however, this might be just what you need. I know I needed it. Forest Poetry be damned, Siebenburgen injects musicality into black metal, makes it all pretty and fluffy, and has the same charm that is exuded by those cute little veal-calves in all those PETA videos. It breaks my heart, really. This gets an 80% because it kicks moderate amounts of ass except for that whole being-black-but-not-really thing.

PORTLAND -- Darcy Davidson, a Northeast Portland mom, appreciates every moment with her active toddler.
She is the joy of our life. I can t imagine being without her, said Davidson.
Her daughter is here because Darcy had her eggs frozen at Oregon Reproductive Medicine when she was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 25.
It was one of my first questions. How is this going to effect the rest of my life if I have one? she remembered. Darcy raised the fertility issue with her doctor on her own.
At Legacy Cancer Institute they re now keeping track of whether doctors are educating patients.
There s nothing that grabs your heart more than somebody who didn t hear about it and then survives. Then later on they think, 'I would love to have children,' but it s not an option, explained Dr. Nathalie Johnson.
Doctors should be telling cancer patients about preserving eggs or sperm based on what type of treatment they need.
Patients who are going to get chemotherapy or patients who are going to receive pelvic radiation may be impacted, said Dr. Johnson. With her diagnosis of stage 4 Lymphoma, Darcy had just one month to preserve her chance to be a mom. When we retrieved the eggs we got three and we used them all, she recalled.
The result was two-year-old Luna who is a reminder why doctors should discuss fertility options with cancer patients. National studies show 60 percent of physicians are doing so and a recent Legacy study showed Oregon doctors doing even better.
We found with Legacy physicians it was over 60 percent and sometimes 70 percent of patients were offered information and felt good about their fertility options, offered Dr. Johnson.
Freezing eggs or sperm is not covered by insurance. Darcy was able to get financial help from the group Fertile Hope.
For me knowing that we had a future waiting was as big a part as saving my life as the medicine, thinking about the future for cancer patients is good medicine, she concluded.

Mexico: Exodus of migrants falls by more than half
MEXICO CITY Migration from Mexico, mainly to the United States, has fallen dramatically as fewer Mexicans leave their country to look for work abroad amid a global economic downturn, the government said Thursday.
The net outflow of Mexicans – both legal and illegal – declined by over 50 percent in the 12 months ending in August 2008, compared the same period a year earlier, said the Eduardo Sojo, president of the board of Mexico's National Statistics, Geography and Information Institute.
Sojo attributed the net drop in migration to tough economic conditions abroad motivating Mexicans to stay at home, rather than Mexicans in other countries returning to their homeland.
"There is declining tendency of people going abroad, but we have not detected, up to now, any increase in people returning to the country," Sojo said.
Sojo also said a recent survey of "leading indicators" suggests that the number of Mexicans planning to emigrate in the future is also dropping. He did not provide details of that survey.
He said the net outflow of Mexicans – those leaving the country minus those returning from abroad – dropped to 204,000 people between August 2007 and August 2008. That was down from 455,000 for the year ending in August 2007.
The number of returning Mexicans was roughly the same over the two periods, declining slightly to 450,000 by late 2008, from 478,000 in the 2007 period.
But the number leaving Mexico fell sharply to 654,000 from 933,000.
The government has said in past years that a majority who leave are undocumented migrants. Its figures are estimates based on quarterly surveys of Mexican households carried out by the institute.
A government survey also shows the number of households in Mexico that receive remittances – the money sent home by Mexicans working abroad, the vast majority in the United States – has also fallen to 1.16 million in 2008 from 1.41 million in 2005, Sojo said.
Remittances, Mexico's second-largest source of foreign income after oil, plunged 3.6 percent to $25 billion in 2008 compared to $26 billion for the previous year, according to the country's central bank.
Despite anecdotal reports of migrants returning to Mexico because of the downturn in the U.S. economy and construction sector, experts say the new statistics confirm there has been no large-scale homecoming in Mexico. An estimated 11.8 million Mexicans now live in the U.S.
"The majority of those who are there are in a family unit, they have relatives there. We know some have children who are in school, some of whom are U.S. citizens," said Agustin Escobar, an analyst with the Center for Investigations and Superior Studies in Social Anthropology. "There are a lot of reasons for them not to leave."
"They are going to look for other more temporary or more precarious jobs, or rely on their relatives ... rather than just disappear from the United States," he said.
Experts say there have been wide swings in immigration to the U.S. in the past, and that the future trends may depend on U.S. politics regarding the migration issue.

A Norwalk man was sentenced to 14 months in prison Monday for stealing several prescription pills.
Kevin E. Knott, 24, most recently of 1224 Peru Olena Road, pleaded guilty earlier in the same Huron County Common Pleas Court hearing to theft of drugs, a fourth-degree felony. As part of a plea deal, the state agreed to dismiss a third-degree felony, tampering with evidence.
"Mr. Knott would like to be sentenced immediately. It was his idea originally," said Huron County Public Defender David Longo, who jointly recommended the prison term with Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Richard Woodruff.
Knott is on intensive probation through Norwalk Municipal Court. He told Judge Jim Conway that municipal court officials are aware of his felony case, but he wasn't sure if they knew he would plead guilty.
On Sept. 11, Knott stole 18 Tramadol pills from a prescription bottle and put them in a plastic baggie, Woodruff said. Huron County Sheriff's Deputy Ted Evans later recovered the pills on Hartland Center Road.
Longo said Knott might have faced misdemeanor charges if he didn't panic and left the pills with him instead of putting them in a ditch since it's possible authorities wouldn't know where the drugs were.
Knott apologized for his actions. He said he hopes to get into the transitional control program in prison so he could get a job and be successful once he rejoins society. Conway declined to address transitional control at Monday's hearing, but said he would address it later depending on the defendant's record in prison.
Knott, whose driver's license was suspended for six months, faces up to three years of parole once he's released.
