I've been on the hunt for new music recently, and I'm enjoying Daft Punk's latest album, Random Access Memories. The disco vibe that runs through the album is refreshing, so this fan-made music video is just perfect. It sets the music "Lose Yourself to Dance" to scenes from the 70's TV classic Soul Train:
I grew up in Australia, where I learned to speak English. Or so I thought: when I moved overseas to the UK, and especially when I moved to the States, I soon learned these are distinct cultures separated by a common language. Words which I previously had no context for being different anywhere else, such as "runners" ("sneakers"), "lemonade" (Sprite — is there even a generic name for this?) and "rubber" (eraser), were met with blank stares, confusion or even guffaws.

The Rover is set in a world ten years following the collapse of the western economic system, where Australia's mineral resources have drawn the desperados and dangerous to its shores. With society in decline, the rule of law has disintegrated and life is cheap. The film follows hardened loner Eric (Pearce), who travels the desolate towns and roads of the Australian outback. When a gang of thieves steals his car they leave behind the wounded Rey (Pattinson) in their wake. Forcing Rey to help track the gang, Eric will go to any lengths to take back the one thing that matters to him. modified plot formulation from deadline.com

Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 24 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by MommyofTwo2 Runs Small My 4 year old is playing soccer this spring so, of course, she needed shin guards. She picked out these out because they were pink. They seem very well put together. My only complaint is that they seem to run VERY small. The SMALL size says ages 3-5, 3'3" - 3'10". My daughter just turned 4 and is a little over the 3 feet mark. The shin guards very short on her shins, and they were EXTREMELY tight once you pulled the elastic strap around to secure them. I could barely even manage to get the elastic strap all the way around her leg to secure it. I returned the small and we ended up getting a Medium which says ages 6-9, 3'11" - 4'6". She's much more comfortable wearing them now. March 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by TonLoc78 fits great fits and looks great on my daughter. she thinks she plays better with it. =) May 13, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by Jchairez11 Satisfied Really good protective gear. Fits very comfortable on the leg February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Renee Great fit I purchased these for my 13 yr old (1st time playing)...I was very happy with the price,quality,and great fit! True to size and fit as specified on package - it is a must that they fit correctly! November 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jas Poor sizing We followed the sizing guidelines on the sealed packaging exactly only to find these fit our 4 year old so tightly that they cause her pain. A total hassle. November 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Marj They are okay My daughter just started playing soccer. As a 4-year-old, she does not like the scratchy Velcro touching her skin. The socks that have shinguard inserts are more comfortable for her than these. October 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Erin1976 Uncomfortable Big disappointment. The stirrups were really uncomfortable for my dauther. Wound up returning them and getting a pair of Umbro brand shin guards without the stirrups. September 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by CuseSoccerMom Comfortable fit. I was concerned these would be uncomfortable but I'm glad to see she wears them without issue. No rubbing or marks, etc. I was pleased with the price and thankfully this stuff comes in pink! September 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by rileysnana Run Small to size chart Love this set of shin guards and my granddaughter really loves them. We had to exchange the one for her height and buy the larger size for them to fit properly but once we did that we were good. September 23, 2014

The global monochloroacetic acid (MCA) market will continue to be driven by the Chinese market. China currently accounts for more than half of global MCA consumption and an average annual growth rate of just over 4% is expected for 2014–2019, as relatively strong downstream demand for MCA will continue.
Consumption of MCA to produce glycine constitutes the largest market, with about 31% of total global MCA demand. Glycine is used to produce glyphosate, an herbicide used worldwide. China is the largest global producer and exporter of glyphosate and over 60% of its glyphosate capacity is glycine- and MCA-based.
The second-largest market for MCA is for use in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), which accounted for about 26% of total MCA consumption in 2014. MCA consumption is expected to grow at an average annual rate of just over 3% in this field.
The following pie chart shows consumption of MCA by major region:
MCA consumption for downstream products 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)/MCPA (herbicides) has increased in recent years. India will be the fastest growing market for this end use. MCA will also experience strong growth for use in cyanoacetic acid and other chemical intermediates. Downstream applications include personal care items, oil drilling, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, and pesticides.
MCA is also used for surfactants; this is a growing market in Central Europe and the CIS because of increasing use of liquid soap and shampoo in these regions. The betaine-type surfactants are synthesized from sodium chloroacetate. North America is the largest market for betaine.
In the United States, MCA consumption has experienced some recovery since the downturn, increasing steadily with increased CMC use in oil field applications since 2010. Economic recovery has led to an increase in the use of MCA in the United States, which currently represents about 8% of the global market.
In 2014, Dow received approval from the USDA for its genetically modified corn and soybean seeds known as Enlist, which are resistant to 2,4-D; the modified 2,4-D Enlist Duo herbicide also received EPA approval. Enlist Duo is a combination of two herbicides with 2,4-D and glyphosate. The Enlist Weed Control System, developed by Dow AgroSciences (part of Dow Chemical Company), was registered for restricted use in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin in October 2014. In 2013, the system was approved by Canada for the same uses. The promotion and use of Enlist Duo herbicide will stimulate the use of 2,4-D and glyphosate in North America.

WASHINGTON (AP) - George Clooney and his father were arrested Friday during a protest outside the Sudanese Embassy, and the actor said he has asked President Barack Obama to engage China on stopping a humanitarian crisis in northern Africa.
RELATED VIDEO: Get the Scoop on Clooney's Arrest
The protesters accuse Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir of provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains in the county's border region with South Sudan.
RELATED: Celeb Protesters
Clooney, his father, Nick Clooney, and others were arrested after being warned three times not to cross a police line outside the embassy. Those taken into custody included NAACP President Ben Jealous, Martin Luther King III, and actor and comedian Dick Gregory.

Several members of Congress also were arrested, including Massachusetts Reps. James McGovern and John Olver, Texas Rep. Al Green and Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia. They were handcuffed and placed into a U.S. Secret Service van.
RELATED: George Clooney Relays Details of His Tumultuous Visit to Sudan
Clooney was released several hours later after paying a $100 fine. The arrests came after Clooney met this week with Obama, testified in the Senate and attended a state dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Clooney told The Associated Press before he was arrested that he can only hope to draw attention to the crisis in Sudan but that he doesn't know if any progress has been made. He said he was impressed, though, with Obama's engagement on the issue.
"It's amazing to sit down with a world leader who knows all of the intricacies of what's going on in Sudan," he said.
The actor said he asked Obama to involve China more in pushing for a solution in Sudan. A YouTube video Clooney recently posted online from his trip to Sudan appears to show a Chinese-made missile being used against the Nuba community.
Clooney said international leaders need to "follow the money" flowing to Sudan's leaders to expose corruption.
"This is a moment where we have a chance to do something because if we don't, in the next three to four months, there's going to be a real humanitarian disaster," Clooney said before his arrest. The situation is urgent, he said, because the upcoming rainy season would block transportation of food aid to the area.
Clooney said he didn't know if his actions would make a difference but that he at least wanted to make more people aware.
"It's such a silly thought to think you're actually succeeding in any of this," he said. "But if it's loud enough and you keep making it loud enough at the very least people will know about it, and you can't say we didn't know. That's the first step."

Personally I think I am hilarious. Just sayin....
Posted 10/13/2012
I'm still laughing at all the people that are HIPPO'ing, if a post has THIS many responses, probably something going on, LOL.
I personally would have called McD's during the 45 minutes, concerned that he never made it...... car wreck or something
My DH like to stop at his own restruant and pick something up that he likes, esp. if I get him to go to Taco Bell, he hates that place with a passion!!!
As for the OP, you have made enough sketchy threads on here to make these ladies question you............JS.......

Along with his work in Hootie & The Blowfish, Rucker recorded one studio album, entitled Back to Then, on Hidden Beach Recordings in 2002. In 2008, he signed to Capitol Nashville and charted his first solo single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It", the first single from his first country album Learn To Live. Rucker has been a member of Hootie & The Blowfish since their original formation in 1989. He met fellow band members, Mark Bryan, Jim "Soni" Sonefeld, and Dean Felber, while attending the University of South Carolina.
In 2001, he made his solo R&B debut album The Return of Mongo Slade for Atlantic Records. Because of contractual changes, it was never released by the label. Hidden Beach Recordings, an independent label, acquired the masters from Atlantic, releasing the album as Back to Then in July 2002. Rucker also portrayed a singing cowboy in a television commercial for the fast food chain Burger King, promoting their TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch sandwich in 2005; in the commercial, he sang a parody of "Big Rock Candy Mountain".
In early 2008, Rucker signed to Capitol Records Nashville as the beginning of a career in country music. His first country single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" (which he co-wrote with Clay Mills) debuted at #51 on Billboard's Hot country Songs charts for the week of May 3, 2008, and it served as the lead-off single to an upcoming album for Capitol, Learn To Live.
For this album, Rucker worked with Frank Rogers, a record producer who has also produced for Brad Paisley and Trace Adkins. Rucker also made his Grand Ole Opry debut in July 2008. The single reached number one in September,[24] making Rucker the first solo, African-American artist to chart a number one country hit since Pride's "Night Games" in 1983.
Rucker sings to a crowd during an Operation Pacific Greetings tour concert. Learn to Live was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 6, 2009 and received a platinum certification on August 7, 2009. The album's second single, "It Won't Be Like This for Long", spent three weeks at the top of the country chart in mid-2009. Its follow-up, "Alright", became Rucker's third straight number one hit, making him the first singer to have his first three country singles reach number one since Wynonna in 1992. The album's fourth single, "History in the Making" was released in September and peaked at number three. The singles also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 35, 36, 30, and 61.
Rucker's entry into the country world was met with some intrigue, largely because of his history as a rock musician and because he is African-American. Billboard magazine said that "there's a sense of purpose that makes Rucker feel like a member of the country family, rather than calculating interloper." Rucker made visits to various country stations around the US, explaining that he was aware that he was the "new kid on the block." Mike Culotta, the program director of the Tampa, Florida radio station WQYK-FM expected that Rucker would be "somebody who would have entitlement," but instead said that "Darius engaged everybody." When Rucker found that "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" went to number one, he cried. On November 11, 2009, Rucker won the Country Music Association New Artist of the Year award (formerly known as the Horizon Award), making him the first African American to do so since the award was introduced in 1981. Only one other African American has won at the CMAs: Charley Pride, who won entertainer of the year in 1971 and male vocalist in 1971 and 1972.
Rucker released his second country album, titled Charleston, SC 1966, on October 12, 2010. The title is inspired by Radney Foster's solo debut album, Del Rio, TX 1959. Its first single was "Come Back Song," which Rucker wrote with Chris Stapleton and Casey Beathard. It was his fourth country number one as well as a number 37 hit on the Hot 100. The album's second single was "This", which was released to radio in November 2010 and also reached number one in the country chart. Rucker wrote it with Rogers and Kara DioGuardi. "I Got Nothin'" was the album's third single, peaking at number 18. Also included on the album is a duet with Brad Paisley titled "I Don't Care". Charleston, SC 1966 received a gold certification.
On December 14, 2011, CBSnews.com reported that Rucker was working on a third country album with recording set to begin January 2012 followed by the release of the album early in the year. The album's lead-off single, "True Believers", made its chart debut in September. On October 12, 2012, Rucker told Broadway's Electric Barnyard that his album would also be titled True Believers. "True Believers" peaked at number 18. Its second single is a cover of Bob Dylan's "Wagon Wheel" (previously made famous by Old Crow Medicine Show), featuring backing vocals from Lady Antebellum. "Wagon Wheel" reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in May 2013. True Believers was released on May 21, 2013. The album's third single, "Radio", was released to country radio on July 22, 2013. The album's fourth single, "Miss You", was released to country radio on February 3, 2014.
On October 2, 2012, Darius Rucker was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry. Halfway through his set at the Opry that night he answered questions from the audience which included a question from Brad Paisley. Paisley said: "I have two questions. One, are you still the worst poker player in the world? And two, would you like to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry?" Rucker accepted, and it became official on October 16.
Rucker was a featured performer at the C2C: Country to Country festival in London on March 17, 2013. On News Years Day, January 1, 2013 he sang the National Anthem at the Outback Bowl in Tampa Florida. On May 11, 2013, Rucker was the speaker at the commencement ceremony for the University of South Carolina in Columbia. Before his speech, he received an honorary Doctorate of Music degree. Rucker also sang the national anthem at the NBA finals on June 16, 2013.
On December 6, 2013, it was announced that Rucker's version of Wagon Wheel had earned him a nomination for Best Country Solo Performance for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. At the awards ceremony on January 26, 2014, Rucker won, becoming only the third African American recording act (the first being Charley Pride, the second being The Pointer Sisters) to win a vocal performance Grammy Award in a country music category.
On August 25, 2014, Rucker released a brand new single titled "Homegrown Honey" to country radio and to digital retailers. It serves as the lead single to his fourth country studio album, Southern Style, to be released on March 31, 2015. On September 15, 2014, it was announced that Rucker had completed his first Christmas album and that it would be released on October 27, 2014. Included is a collaboration with Sheryl Crow on "Baby, It's Cold Outside".

Iron County Courthouse No W102
Kip DeVore
Painting - Watercolor
Iron County Courthouse No W102, or also, "Picking the Tulips". Sunlight breaks through an early spring storm at the courthouse in Ironton, Missouri, as little girl in pink winter coat with hood in foreground kneels to pick an early spring tulip, and mother and daughter with umbrella at distant left stride happily into view. Painting is in watercolor with India ink on Arches 300 lb. cold press watercolor paper, original, 21" x 29", $4500 unframed. This painting's concept celebrates both the joy of an ordered society, which a courthouse helps insure, and mourns the loss of that society, which we seem to be undergoing now.

9 corporators caught burning BMC tyres

Audit Mayor, 8 others owe Rs 10.94 lakh for using official cars outside city
Mayor Sunil Prabhu and eight other corporators have been taking free personal rides at the expense of the civic body for the past four years.
An internal audit of the BMC solid waste management and transport departments revealed the nine corporators owe the administration Rs 10.94 lakh since 2008-09.
Prabhu, who has to pay Rs 27,404 for using a BMC car, however, pleaded ignorance.
"I have not been informed of any such pending dues by the administration. I followed the due procedure for use of the car outside city limits when I was leader of the House," the Shiv Sena leader said.
According to BMC rules, all committee chairpersons are given official cars to be used within municipal limits.
To use the cars outside city limits, prior permission of the municipal commissioner is required. Corporators travelling long distances in the vehicles are also liable to pay BMC for fuel and the driver.
The nine corporators used the cars to travel to neighbouring cities such as Pune and pilgrim centres such as Shirdi.
Another Shiv Sena corporator-turned Jogeshwari (East) MLA Ravindra Waikar is yet to clear dues to the tune of Rs 11,912 accrued during his tenure as chairman of the standing committee in 2008-09.
"Chairpersons of various committees can use the cars for official work in the city, but these corporators need to reimburse BMC for taking the vehicles outside for personal reasons," said a civic official.
House leader Yashodhar Phanse owes the civic administration Rs 2,063. "There has been a mistake in the (internal audit) report. I had taken the car for an official visit to Vaitarna Dam," he claimed.
Prakash Chalke of Sena, who used his official car to go to Mahabaleshwar and Solapur, among other cities and towns, when he was works committee chairman, has to pay Rs 4.09, while women and child welfare committee chairperson Snehlata Dalvi owes BMC over Rs 50,000.

Picture: Peter Jackson attends the Hobbit Premiere at the Embassy theatre, Wellington, New Zealand - 28.11.12 Featuring: Peter Jackson Where: Wellington, New Zealand When: 28 Nov...
There've been more than a few queasy feelings surrounding the forthcoming Peter Jackson film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey– and we don't just mean that critically either, with numerous previews resulting in complaints that the film's 'revolutionary' 48 frames per second shooting has left those watching with nausea and migraines. You always wonder that when a studio starts bigging up the technological aspects of its film rather than the performances of the actors or strength of the plot, they're about to drop a real nostril-holder.
There are concerns too about The Hobbit being spread over a trilogy when the J.R.R Tolkien book was just one tome. However, the early reviews that have come in for the film – out on general release on December 13 – are veering on the side of positive. Only a handful of the big hitters have so far passed their opinion on the film, of which Hollywood.com writes: "A fresh, free-spirited form of fantasy, Jackson's latest provides a younger generation with a stepping stone to his later films while serving the adult's who want more." Celebuzz meanwhile writes: "A briskly engaging adventure shrouded in superfluous detail, though also, yes, admittedly, technical virtuosity, it's an accomplished if unexciting first chapter in the preamble to his Oscar-winning film series."
And of the detractors? ScreenCrush is perhaps the least impressed, writing: "Unless your dreams are populated by denizens of Middle Earth, endless footage of them simply talking or walking is a lot less spectacular than Peter Jackson thinks it is." So not a unanimous slating by any means, though we think the jury's going to remain out on this one for a while longer.

Kinder Morgan makes waves with Florida ethanol line
Somewhat overshadowed by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP's recent $500 million in pipeline expansion projects from Houston to Canada is a smaller project in Florida that could have much bigger implications in the future.
The Houston-based pipeline company is about to start running tests on what could be the nation's first transmarket ethanol pipeline, between Tampa and Orlando.
"We're just in the process of beginning the conversion of certain parts of the pipeline to be able to move the ethanol," says Tom Bannigan, president of Kinder Morgan Product Pipelines.
Bizspace Spotlight
The construction of new pipelines to transport ethanol has popped up in several different company boardrooms, including Kinder Morgan's, but considering the corrosive nature of ethanol, the risk has always been too high.
Because ethanol is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts water, pipelines have to be even more airtight than normal.
"Water will react with ethanol, and what you're left with is a sub-octane gasoline and an ethanol/water mixture that you're going to have to get rid of," Bannigan says.
When mixed with oxygen, ethanol can also cause corrosion cracking.
"You either need to inhibit corrosion or eliminate oxygen from the pipeline," Bannigan says.
Other gaskets and rotating elements within the pumps will also need to be replaced because ethanol can make them brittle, and extra pipe scrubbers, called pigs, will be sent through the pipe to remove any excess build-up on the inside, because if they don't, the ethanol will.
The $3.5 million conversion and cleaning of the 106-mile pipeline, which still transports gasoline from Tampa to Orlando, will continue for the next four to six months. Kinder Morgan hopes to send the first batch of ethanol through by early in the fourth quarter.
"There are two ways to move ethanol by pipe," Bannigan says. "One is (with the ethanol) already blended in gas. The other is neat ethanol batched in the pipeline. That's what we're doing."
Essentially, neat, or pure, ethanol is batched side-by-side with unleaded and premium gasolines going through the pipe.
"As long as you maintain a pressure, a tuburlent flow, there's very little intermixing between the two products," Bannigan says.
Once the products reach the destination, any blending, called "transmix" or "interface," will be removed and refined into other products. Bannigan estimates that a 50,000-barrel batch of gasoline piped with a 10,000-barrel batch of ethanol will result in only 500 to 750 barrels of transmix.
The entire batch is injected with a corrosion inhibitor that lines the pipeline and prevents any oxygen from blending with ethanol. Throughout the retrofit, Bannigan says, the pipeline will not lose any gasoline throughput.
"This is an extremely positive development," says Dan Rogers, an equity partner in law firm King & Spalding LLP's Houston office.
The Atlanta-based firm does extensive work with ethanol and biofuels.
"One of the big logjams in the ethanol business today is in the midstream," Rogers says. "The transportation logistics for ethanol are very difficult."
With a lot of producers sited in the Midwest, away from not only existing pipelines but in many cases waterways and rail lines, trucking is expensive and in high demand. Pipelines are the answer.
"It will get around a lot of the transportation logistical hurdles that exist today," Rogers says. "Getting the product to market is an enormous challenge."
With many producers struggling financially, not only with midstream issues but also soaring feedstock costs and tepid domestic demand, Rogers says pipelines could even bail out some companies and facilities that are in trouble.
"There's a lot of turbulence in the ethanol industry today," he says. "Eliminating transportation problems eases the turbulence and opens door to a lot more investment."
Indeed, if this project is successful, Kinder Morgan will look to translate the success of the relatively small Central Florida line into other pipelines in the Southeast and on the West Coast, where demand is high. With longer lines, though, comes intermediate tank farms, dead-legs, different points of origin and many other factors that increase exponentially along the pipe.
"You're talking about a significant scaling up of costs," Bannigan says.
A New York analyst who tracks Kinder Morgan says if the tests are successful, it would be a significant development with major implications for other pieces of Kinder Morgan's pipeline network, and that many pipeline companies will be paying close attention to the early results.
"This is a rounding era in the Kinder Morgan empire, for sure," says the analyst, who asked to remain anonymous. "They think they've got a chance to pull it off."
Helping matters on the demand front is the Energy and Infrastructure Act of 2007, which will require 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022, 15 billion of which will be made up of corn-based ethanol.
"You're talking significant volumes in addition to what's currently being used that's going to have to find its way to market," Bannigan says.
David Cukierman, president and CEO of Ethano Peru LLC, a Houston-based ethanol producer that plans to begin shipping product from its fields in Northern Peru to the West Coast in the next few years, faces the same issues.
"The research that Kinder Morgan is doing is very exciting," Cukierman says. "Shipment (to the U.S.) is easy; the problem is what to do after that," he says. "Rail can add another 25 cents per gallon to the cost."
Kinder Morgan's testing, then, seems to be on everyone's radar.
"We're certainly going to be looking very carefully at what they're doing because that will be the solution," Cukierman says.
Still, Bannigan realizes that it depends on whether the federal mandate remains in tact.
"Politics what it is, that could change with the stroke of a Congressional pen," he says.
It's for this reason that Kinder Morgan chose to start small, on a short and simple pipeline rather than a more complex system.
"You gotta crawl before you can walk," Bannigan says.
The alternative for the alternative
The alternative to moving ethanol via pipeline is shipping it on trains. As of now, the railroads have a distinct advantage.
Since they are sometimes the only option, railroads can charge as much as 19 cents a gallon, compared to the nickel-per-gallon it would cost to transport via pipeline, says Dan Rogers, an equity partner with law firm King & Spalding LLP.
The railroads can also adapt, which makes finding a customer willing to underwrite a major pipeline project even harder to find.
"At this point, the competition, which is the railroads, has some flexibility in how they price that service if they feel a threat from a pipeline alternative," says Kinder Morgan's Tom Bannigan. "Once you put a big pipe in the ground, you better have a market for that pipe. Rail cars, if you don't move ethanol in them, you move something else."

Anyone have a baby with a tracheostomy?
It's possible, given Alexander's recent setbacks, that he will be better off going back on the vent, at low settings, than trying to keep him going on CPAP.
They'd give him a tracheostomy, which would eliminate all the tubes in his mouth and nose....and probably a g-tube, since he's even gagging on the NG/OG tubes these days (frankly, at this point I'd rather they do the g-tube even if they don't put him on the vent).
The benefits, besides giving him the help he needs to keep his CO2 down where it belongs (which is pretty much a requirement for him to survive, and for him to ever make it home), include the fact that he'd be allowed to breast feed, and would be more able to play and do the sorts of things that OT/PT want to do with him. There are downsides like not ever going to daycare (because they'd want to leave the trach in for a year or two), and multiple surgeries, and causing severe speech delays. (I'm sure there are other pros and cons, but these are the ones that stick in my head from today's conference with the docs).
He might actually be able to come home on the vent, other than us needing to figure out how we'd care for him if he did, without much in the way of help.
Anyone else done this? Any suggestions or things we ought to know?

One of the Best travel dryers
By super shopper
from nyc
I was searching for the best (function and value) travel dryer and bought this model and another one cost 4-5 times more by the brand famous for superlite dryers model 7010. Both with tourmaline and dual voltage. This conair model is 1200 watt and the other brand is 1600 watt. Weight and size are about the same. The expensive one is slightly less noisy, does not require voltage setting change and has folding handle. This conair model actually dries hair faster (long thick straight hair). I used this mini dryer in the US, Europe, Middle East and Asia without problem.When plugged into 220V/240V outlet (dont forget to change setting on the handle), the high setting button doesn't work but the power on low is as strong as high setting on 110V. I wish it had different type of plug (like iphone charger type). I need outlet adapters in most countries. I like it so much I use it as home and left the big professional dryer I have in storage.

I was shocked to see a bad review for this little jewel! I LOVE it. It is the lightest weight, fast drying blow dryer I have ever owned. Perfect for travel BUT I am ordering a second one to keep in my travel bag so I can use the original one for everyday.
It is lightweight.
By Steevie

describe yourself Beauty Conscious
I should have thought this through. Two settings are not enough. A medium setting would be nice as well. The picture shows a very atractive hair dryer in white. The one I got is a very BRIGHT HOT PINK , almost red. Don't like the color at all. The diffuser does not fit on well without struggling with it. It did not make my hair shiny. The best part about it is that it is very lightweight, and the storage case is very nice. I threw all the packaging and paperwork away too quickly. ( I usually throw things out right away.) I should have thought more about it and returned it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

PEF Architecture Tutorial
This tutorial describes the main features of the Protocol Engineering Framework (PEF) that directly support the functions of Message Analyzer. A diagram of PEF architecture is included along with supporting conceptual descriptions, to show how Message Analyzer functions are enabled by the framework.
PEF Components
Message Analyzer is a new tool for capturing, displaying, and analyzing network traffic, system events, device messages, and log data. It is the key, outwardly-facing component in the Protocol Engineering Framework. PEF was created for the improvement of protocol design, development, documentation, and testing. The following major messaging functions are provided by various PEF components:
Message capturing
Message parsing and analysis, including message reassembly and message representation in OPN
Message validation (data, behavior, and architecture) per protocol-specification standards
Message Analyzer directly relies upon the following components of the PEF architecture to support its functionality:
Open Protocol Notation (OPN) — the protocol description language that enables developers to model protocol architecture, behavior, and data. The entire OPN system, including types, actors, endpoints, and flow is implemented in .NET classes. OPN and .NET classes are compiled to produce a binary representation of each OPN protocol description that defines specific protocol architecture, behavior, and data.
Message Analyzer relies upon the presence of compiled OPN protocol descriptions so it can display messages that have been captured and parsed by the PEF Runtime.
OPN Compiler — provides the compilation infrastructure for OPN protocol descriptions. The OPN Compiler generates the binary structures that comprise the OPN Protocol Object Model (POM).
Message Analyzer relies upon the OPN Compiler to ensure that all OPN definitions, descriptions, and filter expressions are verified, so that messages captured in a Live Trace Session or loaded into Message Analyzer from logs and/or trace files in a Data Retrieval Session can be properly parsed by the PEF Runtime and thereafter displayed in a Message Analyzer viewer.
POM — a binary representation of a set of OPN text files in the form of a decorated syntax tree. These descriptions are utilized by the PEF Runtime to parse messages whenever you run a Live Trace Session, if you load an unparsed trace file in .matu format, or if an input trace file requires reparsing.
PEF Runtime — accepts messages from various components, such as drivers, providers, and logs, and processes them by using the parsing information (compiled protocol descriptions) described in the POM. The Runtime component also provides an API that enables Message Analyzer to interface with PEF. Message Analyzer relies upon the Runtime to capture and parse messages and to provide those messages in its API so Message Analyzer can access and display them in selected data viewers.
The PEF Runtime is of central importance to Message Analyzer in performing the following tasks:
Listening for message packets from network driver interfaces, input adapters, and other components that are instrumented as ETW providers.
Querying the POM for OPN protocol descriptions that correspond to retrieved message packets.
Constructing OPN versions of packets retrieved from the network, providing that corresponding OPN protocol message descriptions were written.
Dispatching the OPN packet versions to endpoints that are monitored by POM "listeners", or "actors", which in turn decode the packets and pass them to higher endpoints up the processing chain, repeating this process until all packets in the message stack are decoded.
Enabling Message Analyzer to access the decoded messages through the Runtime API and to display them in a data viewer such as the Analysis Grid.
- Listening for message packets from network driver interfaces, input adapters, and other components that are instrumented as ETW providers.
PEF Driver-Providers — provide the network interfaces for capturing events and messages that are passed to the Runtime parsing engine. The Microsoft-PEF-NDIS-PacketCapture provider captures data on the wire starting at the Data Link Layer; the Microsoft-PEF-WFP-MessageProvider captures above the Network Layer; and the Microsoft-PEF-WebProxy provider captures HTTP client browser traffic, unencrypted HTTPS, and other messages at the Application layer. All PEF drivers are instrumented for Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) so they can take advantage of the ETW infrastructure and deliver both events and captured network traffic. In turn, the events and network messages are passed to the Runtime parsing engine and thereafter Message Analyzer can display them.
Note The Microsoft-Windows-NDIS-PacketCapture provider also captures messages at the Data Link Layer, however, this provider also has remote capabilities that you can employ in certain scenarios, as described in Default Trace Scenarios.
More Information
To learn more about PEF providers and their features, see PEF Message Providers.
Input Adapters — provide the interfaces that define entry points or "chokepoints" into the PEF Runtime for various Import Entities, in message file formats such as .etl, .cap, .log, .matu, and .matp.
PEF architecture also contains other components, such as a POM Adapter that provides importing and exporting facilities; Simulation, which enables modeling of protocol test suites; and technical document (TD) generation, which produces documentation stubs and other artifacts for writers. These components are mentioned here because they interact with OPN protocol descriptions as part of PEF architecture, but are not directly related to Message Analyzer functions, with exception of certain POM adapters.
The diagram that follows shows how Message Analyzer fits into the PEF architecture.
Figure 7: PEF component architecture
More Information
To learn more about PEF components, including OPN programming, tutorials, walkthroughs, standard library, language, and other managed reference documentation, an OPN SDK may be available in the future on MSDN. However, an OPN Programming Guide is currently available from the Microsoft download site.

Chris Lake has been making gems for a minute with hits like "Carry Me Away", "Changes", and "Only One". He has worked with Sebastian Leger, Deadmaus5, and more recently Steve Aoki and Tujamo.
