Great tub door
Love this door and so does everyone who see its. Totally waterproof, great contemporary styling that makes a statement. Easy to open & close, easy to clean.Read More
Great design. easy to install
We used this on our jacuzzi tub and it fit perfectly. Easy to clean. Beautiful! Great quality, great price.Read More
purchased this door a second time!
Bought this originally for my beach home, loved it so much I bought it again! The glass door allows everyone to see the tile in your bath tub area. What a great design statementRead More
the look i was going for
We finally put this shower door up after months of renovation in the kids bathroom. According to my DH it was not hard to put up - he was done in about an hour with the whole project and he had some tile bullnose to cut out to make it sit flush against the wall. But even with that, not a difficult project (according to him).Our house is old, so i was surprised it actually lined up correctly against the wall, but it fit really well. We'll see how the water barriers hold up on the bottom of the glass - he used silicon to seal up the wall edge. While I wish this felt a bit more sturdy, the look of this is great. What I really like about it is that its long enough to not get spray out of the shower, it's easy to turn on water without getting wet, and easy to get in and out because the door swing is in just the right place. It reminds me of a shower door in Germany or the UK, but it's way longer so your floor doesn't end up soaking wet. And the towelbar and hinges are hefty and look hip and modern. It really looks nice compared to our shower curtain (which was grossing me out) and makes the room look much bigger and in general more updated. I would definitely recommend a shower spray that you can adjust so it doesn't hit the back wall, as well as a hand sprayer, but those are super easy to find and install if you need one. Satisfied w/ this purchase and would recommend.Read More
Looks Great, some tradeoffs
First, Overstock's shipping was the best, the door arrived by Fedex in 3 days! Most vendors ship an item like this via Freight that takes 2-3 weeks and shipping was free. I have wanted this door since I saw it on an HGTV product expo. Back then it retailed for well over a $1,000. Installation of the door is a project for a moderate do-it-yourselfer and takes about 2 hours unless you have ceramic tile like me, which took about an hour or better and 3 tile bits, just to drill 5 holes! I have had no stability issues with the door as one other user mentioned. Just make sure you get a solid wall connection with the included support bar. The door itself is certainly beautiful, especially at this price point, but it does have some drawbacks, most of them minor. 1) The fixed glass panel bottom support bracket which screws to the tub lip and fits inside a notch in the glass panel was too big for the glass notch, not allowing the glass panel to sit flush. I had to dremel off a millimeter of the aluminum bracket. 2) The fixed glass panel sits on the tub lip without any bottom gasket and is to be caulked in and out per directions. This works fine, but a soft clear rubber gasket on the bottom glass edge would be much nicer. 3)The hinged door does not have any "stop" on the tub lip. So the door essentially free floats over the tub lip, again it works ok, but a plastic coated magnet stop on the edge of the door and screwed to the tub lip would make a nice product, that much more elegant. 4) The hinged door does not open a full 90 degrees, it is more like 70 degrees. not an issue in big baths, but it makes it tight if you don't have alot of open space near the endwall, where you will enter/exit the tub. 5) I agree with another review that the hinged door bottom gasket does not touch the tub lip, potentially allowing water out, unless you slide the gasket downward, away from it's intended mounting position. Again, for me these are not deal breakers in a master bath situation. The door is kind of like buying a sports car. Beautiful to look at, does some things very well, But overall, I would buy an SUV (regular sliding glass door) if the entire family had to use it regularly.Read More
It works
I purchased this because there was a shelf at the end of our tub which would have required a custom fabricated door. I got a quote for a door that would have been nice but much more expensive.

 The package arrived two days after I ordered which was a complete surprise. Instillation was somewhat complex because the tub is cast iron and this was not covered in the instructions. I purchased a new 6x32 tap with matching drill and stainless steel round head bolt. After careful layout on blue painters tape I started the hole with the smallest masonry bit I had. At a very slow rotation speed I was soon through the porcelain (thicker then I was expecting). At this point I switched to the new metal bit and added a little cutting oil. Keeping the speed slow I went through the cast iron in short order. I was worried about tapping the threads because it was cast iron (brittle) and a small tap. All went OK. I mounted the bottom bracket with a drop of gel super glue to keep water away from the iron because I was afraid of rust stains. Clear silicone would have worked better because I had to be careful that the super glue didnt show because I was worried that it would turn yellow. The complete installation took most of a day. I have my daughter help me with hanging the door. The only negative thing is that the brackets and hinges seem to be made for thicker glass and so there are some clear plastic spacers that go on each side. Because there are four of these it is not as easy to get them to stay aligned when you are doing the installation and they seem to creep a bit over time. It would have been simpler to have one spacer on each side that was twice as thick. I have received many compliments on the new door and it sure beats a shower curtain. Water splashing around the end is not a problem.Read More
Frameless Tub Door
The only thing that kept me from giving this 5 stars was the fact that it didn't meet the building code when our house was inspected. Bathrooms are supposed to have 3/8 inch tempered glass and this was too thin, however we reinstalled it the second the inspection was over.Read More
Good product when carefully installed
I was happy right away on arrival to find the glass not in a million pieces, as the box looked to have suffered. I was renovating the entire bath, so keeping in mind the leak issues others had reported, I took care to install the tub properly, with a slight slope towards the back. If you place a level on your tub from front to back and it tilts towards you, you will likely have leaks regardless of how the rubber seals fit on the door. So with that step taken, I installed the hardware, taking the advice of another reviewer and NOT drilling a hole in the bathtub to screw the bottom glass bracket down. In the event someone ever chooses to remove this door system, I didn't want a rusty hole in the bathtub. I drilled the vertical bracket to the wall, clamped the glass to it , and used clear 100% silicone to fix the bottom of the glass to the tub. I then installed the bottom bracket just for looks since there is a hole drilled in the glass there anyway. I installed the top wall support arm (which I did not expect to have included in the kit, but it is not entirely unattractive) and used tape to stabilize the glass until the silicone dried. Later that day I carefully secured the door with the help of my wife and installed the seals. It looks great and is very solid. I get almost no water intrusion out of the door, much more drips from my body when I exit the shower. My chief "distraction" with the door is that the shower is usually drafty, not the steamy shelter you are used to when shielded by a full curtain or door. That last open foot lets in a lot of air, however no water sprays out there with my shower head. I think the shower will dry out well and there should not be any mildew issues though. I'm very pleased and the shower looks like a spa!Read More
Nice Frameless Door
I love this frameless door... it looks great on my daughters/guest bathroom. This door is not for everyone. It has a lot of CONS: Door opens about 90 Degrees angle, You must open the door to turn the shower, it has about 12 inches of open space. You might have water coming out of the shower wetting the walls or floors. All that said it was the perfect door for my daughters at the best price in town. My daugher has eczema so she must take baths. So going in to turn the faucet is not a deal breaker. No water splass because she is taking a bath. And if she was to take shower she is so tiny and skinny... I don't see water coming out. Installation was on the difficult side. I had a professional installed and he need it my help and he broke a tile. But I love the end result!!!Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello bettyzohar, this is reversible for right or left door opening installation. Have a good day!
Why did you choose this product?
replace old tub and shower combo
size and shape
What bathtub requirements are there for this door to be installed correctly? My tub is old; do I need to purchase a newer one for proper fit? If so, what bathtubs do you carry that would work?
Hello purplelady, this door can be attached to an older tub. As long as it is the correct dimensions, it will work. Thank you for shopping with us!
What is the top measure on 48 x 58 inch shower door? My shower wall slopes and this might work depending on this measurement. Model is Dreamline Aqua Hinged shower door item # 11548973
Hello nanstep. here are the dimensions; Top 38 inches wide, 5 inches from top 42 inches wide, 10 inches from top 43 1/2 inches wide, 15 inches from top 45 inches. Thanks for shopping with us!
I read a review of the product that said the customer ordered the brushed nickel but the hinges and towel rod were still chrome. If I ordered the brushed nickel, what exactly comes in brushed nickel?
Unfortunately, at this time, the information is not available. As the information becomes available, the site will be updated. Have a great day.
what is at the bottom of the glass to stop the water from coming out of the tub?
Thank you for contacting us jebbie4. There is a clear vinyl strip that keeps the water from leaking out of the bottom of the door. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
there is a vinyl strip on the door however you or your contracter will need to add silicone layer to the bottom edge of the fixed glass where it meets the tub. at least that is what I recommend
Can the hardware be ordered in different colors ? m looking for a bronze or similar color.
Hello seavee290, I'm sorry all we have available is chrome or brushed nickel. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can you tell me the measurements at the top width and bottom width since they seem different? I have a slanted wall in my shower.
That tub door, at its widest (in the middle of that door) is 48'', and is the same length at both the top and bottom. It also has a wall profile that extends the full length of that door against the wall which allows for up to 1'' of out of plumb adjustability to solve the "slanted wall" issue. That is a tub door, so if they are looking for a shower door, the sku for that same model in the shower door is: 13431362.
Is it possible to secure the iece of glass thr is meant to be opened and closed using the secured hinge?
You might be able to purchase a stationary bracket to replace the hinge from a hardware store and fix it so the glass does not move. It is not designed for that so there is no information available.on how to do it.
Part of the glass is fixed and the other portion swings out at the hinge, correct? How many inches is the fixed piece from the wall to the hinged section? I need to be sure there is enough room to enter the shower as the vanity almost butts up against the head of the tub.
The Aqua doors series come with two glass sections: stationary glass and the swing door. The stationary glass is secured and does not move, the door swings out at the hinge. Width of the stationary glass is 22 in.

Football: Borussia Dortmund CEO extends deal by three years to 2019
Published on Aug 11, 2014 5:04 PM
BERLIN (REUTERS) - Borussia Dortmund have extended chief executive officer Hans-Joachim Watzke's contract to 2019, adding three years to the official's existing deal as reward for a very successful decade at the club, the Bundesliga runners-up said on Monday.
Watzke, who took over in 2005, helped revive the club from the brink of bankruptcy to become the second strongest force in German football, both on and off the pitch, behind Bayern Munich.
"...Watzke has delivered outstanding work in the past few years," club president Reinhard Rauball said in a statement.
"He was the master builder of Borussia in the recent past, he is the current master builder and will now also oversee the sustainable development of this great club."

The Magazine
Jun 14, 1999, Vol. 4, No. 37 • By DAVID FRUM
IN THE FINAL FRENETIC DAYS of campaigning before his June 3 reelection victory, Ontario premier Mike Harris unveiled a shockingly unCanadian stunt: He produced at his speeches a lifesize fiberglass replica of a pair of blue jeans. His aides poured thousands of Canadian one-dollar coins into them -- representing the money that an average wage-earner will have saved each year in taxes by 2003, thanks to Harris. And then he roared his slogan: "More money in your jeans!"
Conservative electoral victories have become rare events in the age of Clinton, Blair, and Schroder -- so rare that when somebody manages to pull one off, especially in an inhospitable environment like Canada, it's worth paying attention. The lessons may travel.
Ontario is the biggest and richest province in the highly decentralized Canadian confederation, home to 11.5 million of the country's 30 million people, making its premier arguably the single most powerful politician in the country. For most of the postwar period, Ontario was governed by a succession of middle-of-the-road Conservatives, who presided over a slow, steady growth of the province's welfare state. It was Ontario Conservatives who agreed to join Canada's state health-care monopoly back in the 1960s, Conservatives who imposed rent controls in 1975, Conservatives who introduced racial quotas in public-sector hiring in 1985. In 1985, the strategy of stay-one-step-ahead-of-the-left finally sputtered out. The Conservatives lost power. They lost again in 1987 and once more in 1990.
Under the liberal and socialist governments of 1985 to 1995, Ontario taxes soared to levels never before seen in North America, not even during World War II. The top marginal rate exceeded 53 percent on incomes as low as $ 50,000 ($ 80,000 Canadian) -- on top of which Ontarians paid 15 percent combined federal and provincial sales taxes, plus onerous property taxes, and crushing taxes on gasoline, cigarettes, and booze. In 1990, the country plunged into the most severe and prolonged economic slump since the 1930s.
That slump gave the loser of the 1990 election, Mike Harris, his second chance. For the 1995 election, Harris forsook half a century of party tradition, and committed himself to a bold, ideologically conservative program. At its heart was a 30 percent cut in the province's income tax rates, the abolition of the most obnoxious of the province's payroll taxes, and reform of labor laws. Ontario's battered voters were not much impressed by the Harris platform; internal Tory polling apparently found that a majority of those who voted for Harris did not believe he would keep his promise to lower taxes. But they were desperate and willing to try anything. Guess what? Harris kept his promises. And then some.
In each of the 20 years before 1995, Ontario's welfare population had grown. There were more people on welfare in the prosperous year 1978 than the recession year 1975, more at the peak of the 1980s boom than at the trough of the 1981-82 bust. Harris cut welfare payments by 22 percent, and 300,000 people moved off the rolls. He abolished rent control and private-sector racial quotas. He instituted province-wide standardized testing of all students at three-year intervals -- and then published school-by-school results, so parents could judge not only their own child's progress but also the quality of the school. Harris's reforms to the curriculum and education financing provoked two province-wide teachers' strikes. He held firm both times.
The four years since 1995 have seen some of the nastiest strikes and ugliest protests in Ontario's modern history. Polls consistently predicted a Harris defeat; pundits condemned him as an unCanadian zealot. But all the while the Ontario economy was perking up, and -- despite a series of federal tax increases -- Harris's tax cuts were indeed putting more money into people's jeans.

I need to replace some text in a JNLP file using a DOS batch file to tune it for the local machine.
The problem is that the search pattern contains an equals sign which is messing up the string replacement in the batch file.
I want to replace the line,
<j2se version="1.5" initial-heap-size="100M" max-heap-size="100M"/>
with specific settings for the initial and max heap sizes.
For example at the moment I have,
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in (%filePath%agility.jnlp) do (
set str=%%a
set str=!str:initial-heap-size="100M"=initial-heap-size="%min%M"!
echo !str!>>%filePath%new.jnlp)
but the = in the search pattern is being read as part of the replacement command.
How do I escape the equals sign so it is processed as text?

1995 Pontiac Sunfire Q&A
1995 Pontiac Sunfire Question: My car squeaks REALLY loudly when i drive. I'm not sure what it is?
I've been told it could be the driver belt, or other belts. Or it could be the tire alignment? Also, The vehicle shakes when i drive. I've been told that could be due to air pressure levels being different in the tires or AGAIN the tire alignment. I've had the vehicle for about 2 months now, and it was like this when i bought it. Not sure what to start with? - ceiciliarose
Answer 1

Campus Safety
I encourage anyone who plans to attend any college to stay focused because not only will college life be a task but if u intend to live on campus, you will face many distractions. Such as peer pressure, partying, and not studying as often as you should.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 188 reviews for Wayne State University
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask Wayne State University a question
WSU is a great school saves you money rather than going to UM or MSU, the school atmosphere is great with city life around it, the staff are accommodating to your needs when asked by you.Read More
It is a overall good school. The professors really try to make sure you stay on track. I wouldn't want to go to any other college.Read More
Despite major attempts to bring in more non commuting students, this is still largely a commuting campus, and so the whole area is pretty dead on the weekends or when the university is closed. Campus safety is actually really good on the main part of campus, but you need to watch yourself after dark away from the main areas. Classes are small for the most part and I've had mostly good teachers so far.Read More
Wayne State University is a wonderful learning institution. The campus is field with wonderful art and makes for a great place to study. In addition, Wayne State has many courses to help students reach there goals.Read More
I love Wayne State the professors are really nice and really know what they are talking about. As a student that uses a wheelchair the campus is assessable just really big but the student disability Services are really awesome and helpful. The best part is that the staff will make you fill like you belong and not tear you down because of your major, everyone wants you to succeed.Read More
Almost a completely peaceful environment. More than enough options to choose from as far as extracurricular activities and ways to study. Professional instructors who come with the incentive of properly teaching their students.Read More
The campus is very clean and open. It is very close to the Detroit Institute of Arts and downtown. I am very interested in attending this school.Read More
It is very beautiful, and very diverse. It seems like you can have everything here. I also like that it has the majors I am looking for.Read More
Wayne state is a great college. There is a very diverse student population. There are great advisers that will help you at every step in your education.Read More
Love the campus, great medical program, and definitely interested in attending. My father went here for electrical engineering and would recommend their engineering program as well.Read More

- Superintendent evaluation (PDF - 7kb)
After evaluation, school board gives superintendent extension
Published: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 at 6:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 at 6:55 p.m.
Despite a solid performance review, the New Hanover County Board of Education thinks Superintendent Al Lerch still has room to grow.
His one year contract extension squeaked by with a one-vote margin at Tuesdays school board meeting. Lerch will now work for the district through 2012.
I am pleased to be staying in New Hanover County, Lerch said Wednesday. We will focus on the things the board wants us to focus on, and we will move forward.
In a statement regarding Lerchs recent evaluation released Wednesday, the board gave Lerch an overall rating of 2.4 out of three. The statement said board members are pleased with their relationship with Lerch, but questioned whether Lerch and his staff were willing to openly make recommendations that lead to change.
Other concerns included the delivery of special education and other programs.
Lerchs top scores of 2.6 were in community relations and business and finance. The board praised Lerch as an exceptional ambassador for the school system, and applauded the superintendent and Finance Department staff for helping weather tough budget times with minimal discomfort.
His lowest ratings of 2.2 were for staff and personnel and instructional leadership. The board voiced worries that Lerch hasnt sufficiently raised instructional expectations, and that more work was needed to improve morale in the district.
Lerch said Wednesday he was pleased with his scores.
Chairman Ed Higgins, vice chairman Jeannette Nichols and board members Janice Cavenaugh and Don Hayes voted in favor of retaining Lerchy. Wednesday, Higgins praised Lerchs professionalism and teamwork.
Hes been meeting with principals and hes been putting his vision in front of them, letting them know what the boards thinking, Higgins said. He wants us all to truly be a team.
Cavenaugh said the district needs a respected, stable head during tumultuous times in education.
We need to make sure we have a steady hand at the wheel, Cavenaugh said.
Board members Nick Rhodes, Elizabeth Redenbaugh and Dorothy DeShields voted against extending Lerchs contract.
Rhodes said he had a number of concerns about Lerchs leadership, particularly regarding district test scores.
There are a whole host of issues I think we need to be concerned about, and I dont think they have been addressed to the extent they should have been, Rhodes said.
Redenbaugh said she did not feel comfortable voting for an extra year because the district was not currently moving forward as fast as she hoped.
Im confident that Dr. Lerch does have the skills to take our district where it needs to go, but I felt like he needed that push from the board to expedite the process, Redenbaugh said.
Nichols, Hayes, and DeShields could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Higgins said he is confident Lerch will continue to improve.
You cant turn an aircraft carrier around on a dime, Higgins said. I think it takes a little while for a school system to get itself back into proper shape.
The release of the boards evaluation was part of Lerchs contract, according to Higgins.
Hopefully it allows the public to see where we think hes doing a good job, and recognize that were not just giving him a pass, Higgins said. I think it shows that we do actually perform an evaluation, that its not just a perfunctory activity.

If you did keep your hair long what tips would you give to make things work out better? Should I invest in scrunchies? How do you keep little fingers out of it? When does it start falling out post-baby?
This Mommy and Military Daddy are loving their son.
DS born Dec 2010 Pregnant with #2, having another !
That said, it also makes a difference how "high maintenance" your long hair is, IYKWIM. Personally, since my long hair is straight-ish and fine-ish, it's very easy to make it look "socially acceptable." I have friends with very thick, curly and/or 3C hair who spend more time straightening it and maintaining it, and I could see where keeping it long might be too much to deal with post-baby.
It doesn't need to be washed as often was much easier to get out of the way when my son wanted to mess with it.
I would also really consider carefully that you prefer your hair longer. Everyone is different, but I think that it is often hard enough to feel good about your appearance after a new baby without having a haircut that isn't flattering.
I'd vote to keep it long.
I do miss my hair from an aesthetic standpoint (especially during Halloween or the Ren Faire! I never needed a wig lol). I do not miss taking care of it. Short hair is much easier, and right now that is what matters more to my sanity.
Here is a before shot.
Here is now.
Nope. My hair has not been an issue at all. I braid it and pin it up when I get dressed in the morning, and I'm good for the entire day. Wash every couple of days. And even with newborns washing it wasn't all that hard.
I do miss my long hair but, I'd had it cut after our wedding so it wasn't long long when J was born. It was too short for me to do more than pull it back in a messy ponytail and I hate that look on me. Some people can pull it off really well but I am not one of them. I end up with straggly wisps around my face and this ugly, awkward thing at the back. And I had to tie it back somehow because otherwise it was always in her eyes.
If it had been long enough that I could do my standard long-haired twist-held-with-a-spike-clip hair do then I probably would have kept it long.
Mother of two spectacular girls, born mid-2010 and late 2012
I agree with what others have said. It depends on the needs of your hair but for myself, being able to just pull it back in a ponytail would make the most sense as far as maintenance.
Scrunchies or soft elastics are good to keep it from breaking, and french braids keep shorter pieces tucked in.

Planning my fifth natural birth using Hypnobabies for baby boy coming in June 2012!
wife of 8 years to DH , mama to DD (2006) & DS (2011) (Dec. 2012) due Nov. 2013
My goal is to do a long single braid down my back. But, if I let my hair get too long, the weight of it pinned up or pulled back gives me headaches.
I have decided that short hair, while it looks great and fresh on me, requires too much of my time and attention.
PM me about low supply; insufficient glandular tissue; posterior tongue tie; lip tie
Hair ties are your friend. Really!

However, it is easiest to maintain my fine thin hair when it is long. It is actually MORE work when it is short, because I have to wash/style it more often, and it usually looks AWFUL when I wake up in the morning (which means no quick out-the-door if we are running late...at least, not without a hat of some sort!). It is collar-bone length right now, so I can easily pin up the front or pull it back in a tail if I don't have a chance to shower. I'm a little worried about the PP shedding, but this pregnancy actually changed the texture of my hair
I plan on cutting an inch or so off to clean it up a bit...but that's it. I leave it up in a ponytail 99% of the time. My son learned quickly that grabbing it hurts and that's been the focus of a few tantrums...
I have actually never noticed the pp shedding...I shed a lot anyway, a bit more pp doesn't make any difference

braids are your friend. two over the shoulder braids or one long one down your back. everyone's hair is different but i find that when i do the two braids, it's easy to go longer without upkeep and looks relatively decent. it also keeps little fingers from pulling out individual strands, which is what hurts. yanking on thick braids doesn't hurt. hair fallout is a pain pp, but there's not much you can do about it.
Is it getting lonely in the echo chamber yet?

Keep it long! I've known many people who have regretted it and made them feel horrible after they gave birth.

I really think it is the thickness of my hair. I assure you there is such thing as "too thick" and in pregnancy, I reach that point and go far beyond it...
I had shorter hair already when pregnant with ds 2. I kept meaning to get it cut again prior to his birth, but it was still long enough to pull back during labor which turned out to be nice. Plus then my first 2 hours postpartum free time was a trip to the salon which actually turned out to be really nice to get pampered post baby. We often try to pamper ourselves when pregnant but then often don't continue to or find the time to post baby, kwim.
DS, 10/07. Allergies: peanut, egg, wheat. We've added dairy back in. And taken it back out again. It causes sandpaper skin with itchy patches and thrashing during sleep. Due w/ #2 late April, 2012.
For me, keeping little fingers out was a matter of not really allowing it to happen in the first place. If either of my kiddos got curious about my hair, I'd distract them from it, even at a young age. If DS (1 yr) gets too curious now, I just pull it into a ponytail.
I've noticed an increase in shedding around 2 months pp. I just brush my hair a few extra times to get it out and am sure to brush it before I get in the shower to make sure it doesn't clog the drain.
what, you dont like the dumpy mom bun? :]
i just kept the ends trimmed to keep it from getting dready.
braids were helpful in the newborn days.
my hair fell out when he was 4 to 7 months old,
and then i had these totally awesome little two inch things growing up...
i'm glad i kept it long though.
I kept mine long - and I mean, hip-length - but only by sheer bloody-mindedness. :p I did NOT want to cave and get the "mom cut" - having long hair is part of my identity, as pathetic as that sounds. Unfortunately I was also doing water-only washing at the time, which wasn't as low-maintenance as advertised, for me. My hair got pretty gross without a lot of boar bristle brushing and grooming. So after a few months I switched to baking soda/apple cider vinegar washes, which made things considerably easier - and since then I've switched up to all sorts of methods, depending on the day. Conditioner-only, Indian herbs, however the spirit moves me.
Honestly, my hair (which is now longer than hip-length - I can sit on it) is a pain more often than not, but I like having it around for the days I actually want to do a fancy crown braid (a la my avatar!) or whatever. And it never looked good short when I was a kid, so I don't want to risk it. After this baby, I might get it cut shorter - like, back to waist-length - because it does actually make a difference in terms of feeling more low-maintenance, but I can still do all my hairstyles.
I always wear my hair up anyway, so baby-grabbing was never an issue. (DD does try to "help" me brush it when it's down, though - ulp!) Bunned or braided hair is really impressively baby-proof - whereas a chin-length bob has all these little tempting dangly ends that can't be secured without a good deal of fuss (cornrows? lots of gel? a really wide headband? I dunno!).
Also, yeah, hennaing postpartum sucks. It's a pain at the best of times, but I had pretty ghastly roots by the time I got around to hennaing after I had DD! Still, that's not a hair length issue... and I wasn't willing to give up my red hair. At least it was cheap and didn't require me to put clothes on and go to the hairdresser!
So anyway: I know PP haircuts can make some ladies feel like new women. But if you WANT to keep your hair, fight for it! :) Don't just chop it because that's what mums do - chances are you'll regret it, and feeling sad about that is the last thing you need post-partum.
If decomposition persists please see your necromancer.

More feedback on yesterday's big story: David Beckham's move to L.A.The Guardian's Dave Hill thinks the transfer is just grand. After all, Becks stars in Hill's own personal Field of Dreams. Hill writes in his Comment Is Free blog:
When he's been jeered it's often been on the grounds that he's a Big Girl, a form of sexism that, tellingly, is driven by the same neuroses as homophobia. By the same token, though, how revealing such episodes have been. How valuable too. An English football male enacting tenderness and fragility is an intrinsically subversive spectacle. It has confused all the (far) right people, such as when he confounded many expectations by stepping into the national team captain's boots with touching pride and surprising maturity.
Leave it to my man Mark Simpson to cut the b.s. and get straight to the f—ing. He suggests Beckham's move is a major coup for America's global strategy:
America needs Becks. Becks is one of the most popular people on the planet, at a time when the US is one of the most globally unpopular countries. That unpleasantness in the Middle East and the tantrums of Bush Junior may have something to do with it, but I suspect the problem is more to do with the way that America and Hollywood, so long at the cutting edge of commodifying masculinity, have fallen so far behind much of the rest of the world since the 1990s. Incredible as it may sound, American masculinity needs some tarty tips on how to tart it out more. Enter Becks, the tartiest tart in Tart-Town.
Also, check out Simpson's piece on Morrissey's Eurovision and his letter to the Sunday Telegraph in which he wrenches back ownership of the term he coined way back in '94 – the metrosexual.
Also: Have Posh n' Becks already found a swanky new house in L.A.?

(HIGHTSTOWN, NJ) -- Pleasure Productions in partnership with California Exotic Novelties is pleased to announce Pleasure contract girl, Krystal Steal's, own toy line.
Sexy and nubile Steal recently ended a molding session of her privates in California Exotic offices. The whole process was filmed by Pleasure Productions who plans to use the footage as extras in upcoming DVD releases. Pleasure believes it will allow end consumers a peek into the toy-making process and satiate some of their numerous questions about adult toys, specifically pussy and ass molds. "Some people think that these molds are not made from the real thing, this just disproves that notion!" said Pleasure owner, Frank Kay.
"It was a cool experience. I thought it would take longer but each mold probably took only 10 minutes. Cal Exotics explained to me that the molding material they use is extremely safe and is even edible. They took molds of my pussy and ass in 2 positions, one with my legs up and the other in doggie position. I'm looking forward to the end product!" says an excited Krystal.

Certain embodiments relate to articles for delivering viscous fluids, and more particularly to wiping articles or applicators configured to be loaded with a highly viscous fluid and to release a high percentage of the fluid during use.
A wide variety of articles exist today for delivering certain types of fluids to a target surface, such as for cleaning or treating human or animal skin, hard surfaces (e.g., wood, metal, glass, plastic, floors, kitchen counter tops or automobiles) and the like. Conventional delivery articles comprise one or more layers of woven or non-woven fiber (natural or synthetic) that is saturated with a cleansing or treatment fluid. Typically, delivery articles having a fibrous core have been desirable because they have a high percentage wet weight to dry weight, which means the article will hold a large volume of fluid by weight relative to the dry weight of the article. The fluids chosen for use in such conventional delivery articles should exhibit a high release percentage. In order for a fluid to offer a high release percentage from a fibrous core, the fluid should have very low viscosity. For example, water has a viscosity of 1 centipoise (Cp). Fluids that are utilized with delivery articles having fibrous cores typically comprise a large percentage of water, thereby affording low viscosities (e.g., less than 15 cp).
Heretofore, delivery articles have experienced limitations in terms of the type of fluids that may be used therewith. More specifically, delivery articles that utilize a fibrous core as the storage layer retain an excessively high percentage of fluids when used with fluids having high viscosity because the fibrous cores exhibit a low percentage release for highly viscous fluids. Thus, when conventional fibrous delivery articles are saturated with a highly viscous fluid, a smaller than desired percentage of the fluid is released during use. The remaining fluid is bound or trapped within the fibers of the article and is never released, thereby creating inefficiency, waste and increased cost.
A need remains for improved storage and delivery articles for use with highly viscous fluids that afford high release percentages and uniform, even distribution over a target surface.
A delivery article is provided that is configured to store and release a highly viscous fluid. The article includes a top sheet, a core layer and an optional barrier layer. The top sheet is porous to permit metered discharge of the highly viscous fluid therethrough to a facing surface of the top sheet for application to a target surface. The core layer contains an array of three dimensional voids or cones that are configured to receive and store the fluid. The bottom of the voids or cones may be open or closed. The core layer is formed of a material that is non-absorbent with respect to the fluid and affords high void volume. The barrier layer is impermeable to the fluid and has a side bonded to a back side of the core layer to close open back ends of the voids. Alternatively, when the core layer is formed of a three dimensional material with the back ends of the voids closed, the barrier layer may be removed or included, but not necessarily bonded to each void.
Optionally, the core layer may comprise a three dimensional structure defined by ribs having walls extending in a Z-direction and spaced apart from one another to form interior cavities therebetween. Optionally, the fluid may have a viscosity of at least 500 centipoise and the article may exhibit a release percentage of at least 70%. The voids may be funnel shaped and flared outward proximate front and back sides of the core layer.
The term "fluid," is used throughout broadly, to include any substance exhibiting flowing characteristics. The fluid need not be liquid.
The term "highly viscous" is used throughout to refer to viscosities substantially greater than the viscosity of water and greater than the viscosity of liquids heretofore stored in conventional fibrous delivery articles, where such liquids yielded high release percentages from the fibrous delivery article. For example, fluids that are highly viscous may have a viscosity of at least 500 centipoise, or more preferably may have a viscosity of at least 1000 centipoise. An exemplary upper limit for the viscosity of a substance to still be considered a fluid may be 10,000 centipoise. Examples of fluids include body creams, lotions, disinfectants, topical medications, dermatological substances, household and automobile cleaners, and the like.
The article 10 comprises a cover or top sheet 12, a storage/delivery core layer 14 and a barrier layer 16, all of which extend in the X- and Y-directions to provide a useful applicator surface. The core layer 14 provides a stationary support configured to store the highly viscous fluid 40 until release is desired. The core layer 14 may be constructed as a formed film having a three dimensional (3D) structure containing a plurality of fluid storage voids 20. The 3D structure is defined by ribs 18 that have walls 24 that surround the voids 20 and extend in the Z-direction. Each rib 18 has a pair of opposed walls 24 that are spaced apart from one another to form isolated interior cavities 22 there between. The core layer 14 includes a front side 26 and a back side 28. The voids 20 may be funnel or cylinder in shape or may flare outward proximate the front and/or back sides 26 and 28 into an hour-glass shape. The voids 20 have a central width W that may be less than a height H of each void 20 when in an at rest state (e.g., not under compression). Optionally, the voids 20 may have an aspect ratio of 1 (e.g., equal height and width). Optionally, the height H of each void 20 may be less than the width W. The walls 24 of individual ribs 18 join with one another at a slightly depressed apex 30 which collectively define the front side 26. Lower ends 32 of the walls 24 define the back side 28 of the core layer 14.
The core layer 14 is constructed with a large percentage of open area (e.g., a high void volume) by providing a large number of voids 20 in the 3D structure. The fluid storage capacity of the core layer 14 may be varied by adjusting the number of voids 20 or mesh count and/or by adjusting the dimensions of the voids 20. By way of example only, the core layer 14 may have a nominal 12 voids per square centimeter and each cavity 20 may have a nominal 800 micron cell diameter and 950–1200 micron cell height. The core layer 14 may be similar to the films described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,610,904, the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety. Examples of materials from which the core layer 14 is formed include, among other things, polyolefin based materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutylene, and polyester based materials such as polyethyleneterephthalate, copolymers thereof, and the like. The core layer 14 may be formed of other materials that are non-absorbent or impervious to the fluid 40 and that do not chemically react with the fluid 40.
The barrier layer 16 may be formed of a material impervious to the fluid 40. For example, the barrier layer 16 may be paper, tissue, plastic film, a non-woven or woven material, as well as laminates or composite webs formed from various combinations of films, non-woven and/or woven webs. The barrier layer 16 can be embossed or non-embossed and, if used, is the layer closest to, or held in, the hand of the user. Optionally, barrier layer 16 may be held against an applicator device, to which the article 10 is attached, such as a mop, a handle, medical applicator, a surgical tool and the like. In one embodiment, the barrier layer 16 is bonded to the lower open ends 32 of the walls 24 to individually close the lower ends of the voids 20. Once the barrier layer 16 is joined to the core layer 14, the voids 20 form individual open-faced storage cells. The barrier layer 16 induces a pumping action upon the voids 20 during use. Optionally, the voids 20 may not be apertured, but instead closed at the back or rear end. When using closed voids 20, the barrier layer need not be bonded to the individual voids 20.
The top sheet 12 is porous to enable metered delivery of the fluid 40 to the target surface. The top sheet 12 includes a facing surface 36 and a backing surface 38. The top sheet 12 is joined to the core layer 14 about the perimeter of the article 10, while a central portion of the top sheet 12 abuts against the front side 26 of the core layer 14. In the embodiment of
The top sheet 12 may be a formed film having a plurality of small holes or openings 34 therethrough. By way of example, the top sheet 12 may have approximately 10,000 holes per square inch. The top sheet 12 prevents the fluid 40 from being inadvertently discharged from the core layer 14, and isolates the core layer 14 from foreign materials. The top sheet 12 also facilitates controlled or metered delivery, and even, near uniform distribution, of the fluid 40 from the article 10 across the facing surface 36 of the top sheet 12. Alternatively, the top sheet 12 may constitute a fibrous material or composite structure of fibers and film. Optionally, the top sheet 12 may be constructed of a material exhibiting rough and wear resistant qualities, such as for applications in cleaning hard surfaces. The top sheet 12 may be formed similar to the top sheets described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,582,798 the complete disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety.
When pressure is applied to the core layer 114, the base portions 125 collapse upward into the voids 120 to force there from the highly viscous fluid. The fluid flows through the openings 134 in the top sheet 112 in a distributed manner across the facing surface 138 as explained above. Optionally, a barrier layer may be provided across the back side 128, without being bonded to individual base portions 125.
The upper and lower core layers 214 and 215 include walls 224 and 225, respectively. The walls 224 and 225 surround interior cavities 222 and 223, respectively, facing and opening toward the barrier layer 216. The top sheet 212 may be joined to the upper core layer 214 about the perimeter of the article 210 such that the back surface 238 of the top sheet 212 freely rests on the front side 226 of the upper core layer 214 in a non-affixed manner. A separate gap 242 exists between the top sheet 212 and the upper core layer 214 that expands as pressure is applied to the barrier layer 216.
In testing, the article 310 has exhibited release percentages of at least 70% for a fluid having a viscosity of approximately 1000 centipoise.
Optionally, an additional barrier layer may be provided as a removable cover to place over the top sheet in order to entirely seal the article. The additional barrier layer would be impervious to the fluid and would be removable at the time that the article is to be used.
Test Method and Test Data
Tables 1 and 2 below set forth the results of testing of delivery articles to evaluate the ability of delivery articles when loaded with a viscous fluid to control the release of the fluid in a metered manner over time under controlled pressure. The test method may be used to evaluate the performance of cover layer products as well as core layer products.
Table 1 illustrates the test results of six different test articles that utilize a non-woven core with various apertured film covers. Beginning in the first row, an airlaid non-woven core was combined with a film cover having 8.75 holes per linear inch in the cover. The apertures in the film cover were hexagonal-shaped and the cones within each aperture were directed inward away from the surface of the film cover toward the back side of the film cover. In the first exemplary test, the 8.75 Hex Cone film had a dry weight of 3.3 grams, was loaded with 8.1 grams of lotion and exhibited a release percentage of 25%. Hence, only 25% of the 8.1 grams of lotion was released from the non-woven core when covered with an 8.75 Hex Cone film cover.
Turing to the second tested article, again, a non-woven core was utilized in combination with an apertured film cover having 25 hexagonal-shaped apertures per linear inch with the cones of each aperture directed inward away from the front surface toward the rear surface of the film. The dry weight of the article was 3.2 grams. The article was loaded with 8.0 grams of lotion and the article exhibited a release percentage of 35%.
The next article comprised a non-woven core in combination with an apertured hydroformed film cover and comprising 100 holes per linear inch. The article had a dry weight of 3.0 grams, was loaded with 8.5 grams of lotion and exhibited a release percentage of 50%.
The next three articles also utilized non-woven cores in combination with film covers. The film covers utilized apertures extending in the opposite direction namely extending from the rear surface toward the front surface of the film. Corresponding dry weights, lotion quantities and percent releases are illustrated.
Table 2 illustrates test results of two articles, each of which utilized an apertured film core. The film core included a hole density of 8.75 holes per linear inch and the holes were hexagonal shaped. The apertured film core was then covered, for the first article, with a hydroformed film ("HFF") having 100 holes per linear inch and cones directed inward. The article had a dry weight of 2.7 grams, was loaded with 8.3 grams of lotion and exhibited a release percentage of 82%.
The final test article utilized an 8.75 Hex apertured film core and a cover constructed of a hydroformed film having a hole density of 100 holes per linear inch with cones directed outward. The article had a dry weight of 2.2 grams, was loaded with 8.6 grams of lotion and exhibited a release percentage of 72%.
In each test, delivery article was assembled with a backing layer, a core layer and a cover layer. The backing layer was a non-permeable barrier layer. The core layer of the articles tested in Table 1 were made of non-woven materials, while the articles tested in Table 2 were made with an apertured film. The cover layers were apertured films of different aperture sizes and mesh counts. A specified amount of viscous fluid was loaded into the core layer before the core layer was assembled with the cover layer. The backing, core and cover layers were secured to one another, (such as through staples or heat sealed) at four edges to prevent shifting of the layers through testing.
The delivery article, once loaded with fluid, was then compressed against dry absorbent pickup papers under controlled conditions. As the viscous fluid inside the core layer permeated outward through the cover layer, the viscous fluid was absorbed by the dry pickup papers and the weight of the pickup papers increased. By determining the weight increase over time of the pickup papers, the metering effect of the delivery article was evaluated.
The apparatus utilized in connection with this test included a template to cut out a barrier layer, core layer and cover layer. The dimensions of the template were 3 inches�8 inches inch. A sheer hang time roller was also used to apply the controlled pressure to the delivery article during the test. A measuring scale was utilized to measure the weight change of the pickup paper to the nearest 0.001 gram. The test fluid constituted Suave� Body Lotion sold by Unilever Corporation.
The sample preparation involved cutting the barrier layer, core layer and cover layer materials into 3�8 inch pieces and stacking the three layers in the correct sequence upon one another. The layers were then secured to one another through heat sealing along one edge. Next, the weight of the unloaded dry delivery article was measured to the nearest 0.001 gram. The cover layer was then folded back and 10 milliliters of the test fluid were applied onto the core layer using a pipette. The test fluid had a viscosity of 2000 cp in all example tests. The test fluid was spread evenly over the core layer until covering the entire surface of the core layer. The cover layer was then folded over the core layer and the three remaining edges of the barrier, core and cover layers were secured through heat sealing to one another. Next, the weight of the delivery article was recorded.
The test procedure involved weighing the dry weight (W0) of the dry pickup paper to the nearest 0.001 gram. The loaded delivery article was placed on a clean dry non-absorbent hard surface with the cover layer facing upward. The pickup paper was placed in contact with and on top of the cover layer. A sheer hang time roller was rolled across the pickup paper five cycles (ten passes) the weight (W1) of the pickup paper was measured and the weight gain was calculated by subtracting the dry weight from the wet weight of the pickup paper. Next, a new dry pickup paper was placed on top of the cover layer of the delivery article and the sheer hang time roller was again rolled across the delivery article five cycles. This process was repeated separately with new pick up papers until the weight gain by a new pickup paper was negligible. The cummulative weight gain of all the pickup papers was determined. Also, the weight of the delivery article was measured to determine the total test fluid weight loss from the delivery article.
While certain embodiments have been described above, those skilled in the art will recognize that other embodiments can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.
