from The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Malcolm X with Alex Haley
Shorty soon decided that my hair was finally long enough to be conked. He had promised to school me in how to beat the barbershops' three- and four-dollar price by making up congolene and then conking ourselves.
I took the little list of ingredients he had printed out for me and went to a grocery store, where I got a can of Red Devil lye, two eggs, and two medium-sized white potatoes. Then at a drugstore near the poolroom, I asked for a large jar of Vaseline, a large bar of soap, a large-toothed comb and a fine-toothed comb, one of those rubber hoses with a metal sprayhead, a rubber apron, and a pair of gloves.
"Going to lay on that first conk?" the drugstore man asked me. I proudly told him, grinning,"Right!"
Shorty paid six dollars a week for a room in his cousin's shabby apartment. His cousin wasn't at home. "It's like the pad's mine, he spends so much time with his woman," Shorty said. "Now, you watch me—"
He peeled the potatoes and thin-sliced them into a quart-sized Mason fruit jar, then started stirring them with a wooden spoon as he gradually poured in a little over half the can of lye. "Never use a metal spoon; the lye will turn it black," he told me.
A jellylike, starchy-looking glop resulted from the lye and potatoes, and Shorty broke in the two eggs, stirring real fast—his own conk and dark face bent down close. The congolene turned pale yellowish. "Feel the jar," Shorty said. I cupped my hand against the outside and snatched it away. "Damn right, it's hot, that's the lye," he said. "So you know it's going to burn when I comb it in—it burns bad. But the longer you can stand it, the straighter the hair."
He made me sit down, and he tied the string of the new rubber apron tightly around my neck and combed up my bush of hair. Then, from the big Vaseline jar, he took a handful and massaged it hard all through my hair and into the scalp. He also thickly Vaselined my neck, ears, and forehead. "When I get to washing out your head, be sure to tell me anywhere you feel any little stinging," Shorty warned me, washing his hands, then pulling on the rubber gloves and tying on his own rubber apron. "You always got to remember that any congolene left in burns a sore into your head."
The congolene just felt warm when Shorty started combing it in. But then my head caught fire.
I gritted my teeth and tried to pull the sides of the kitchen table together. The comb felt as if it was raking my skin off.
My eyes watered, my nose was running. I couldn't stand it any longer; I bolted to the washbasin. I was cursing Shorty with every name I could think of when he got the spray going and started soap-lathering my head.
He lathered and spray-rinsed, lathered and spray-rinsed, maybe ten or twelve times, each time gradually closing the hot-water faucet, until the rinse was cold, and that helped some.
"You feel any stinging spots?"
"No," I managed to say. My knees were trembling.
"Sit back down, then. I think we got it all out OK."
The flame came back as Shorty, with a thick towel, started drying my head, rubbing hard. "Easy, man, easy!" I kept shouting.
"The first time's always worst. You get used to it better before long. You took it real good, homeboy. You got a good conk."
When Shorty let me stand up and see in the mirror, my hair hung down in limp, damp strings. My scalp still flamed, but not as badly; I could bear it. He draped the towel around my shoulders, over my rubber apron, and began again Vaselining my hair.
I could feel him combing, straight back, first the big comb, then the fine-toothed one.
Then he was using a razor, very delicately, on the back of my neck. Then, finally, shaping the sideburns.
My first view in the mirror blotted out the hurting. I'd seen some pretty conks, but when it's the first time, on your own head, the transformation, after the lifetime of kinks, is staggering.
The mirror reflected Shorty behind me. We both were grinning and sweating. And on top of my head was this thick, smooth sheen of shining red hair—real red—as straight as any white man's.
How ridiculous I was! Stupid enough to stand there simply lost in admiration of my hair now looking "white," reflected in the mirror in Shorty's room. I vowed that I'd never again be without a conk, and I never was for many years.
This was my first really big step toward self-degradation: when I endured all of that pain, literally burning my flesh to have it look like a white man's hair. I had joined that multitude of Negro men and women in America who are brainwashed into believing that the black people are "inferior"—and white people "superior"—that they will even violate and mutilate their God-created bodies to try to look "pretty" by white standards.
Making Meanings
First Thoughts
1. What do you think is the most important—or powerful—word or phrase in Malcolm's story? Why?
Shaping Interpretations
2. Why do you think Malcolm feels that conking his hair is a step toward self-degradation?
3. What would you infer about Malcolm's tone at the end of this selection? (List words or passages that help establish the tone.)
4. In William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, a father gives this advice to his son: "This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." What do you think Malcolm would say about this advice?
Connecting with the Text
5. Get together with a small group to talk about the pressures to conform—to be like everyone else—that young people face today. What could happen as a result of these pressures? Be sure to check your Quickwrite notes.
Extending the Text
6. Malcolm talks about behavior that leads toward self-degradation. What, on the other hand, do you think gives people a sense of self-respect or self-esteem?

Trader Joe's Kouign Amann is Almost as Good as Dominique Ansel's
When we first tried these a couple of months ago, they were FAB, almost as good as the new bakery in Berkeley on Domingo. They rose overnight and crisped beautifully. However, in our last 2 purchases over the last month, the KAs fail to rise at all. While still quite good, not at all as good as before. BTW, we recently purchased TJ's frozen chocolate croissants. Again, in contrast to previous packages, they failed to rise overnight in our kitchen. i think TJs supplier is having serious QC problems with their yeast. Next time we'll try to poof around 80°F,

BACK OFF, spooks: UK legal hacking code should be 'resisted at all costs' says lawyer
Re: Will the spooks be surprised ..
Yup, I made that very point not long ago.
All you need do is spun up a machine at Azure and send people messages through it and thanks to a shared knowledge of code words you can be spied on with no on knowing what you're saying....or forget the computers and have a meet up in the pub.
If this law goes ahead it'll do three things:
1. End a lot of business in the UK as other people do business elsewhere, scared that their data is being leaked.
2. Someone outside the security services will find a way to exploit it
3. Make a lot of extra work for IT people.
This will become the Government's own superfish scandal.
Lenovo: We SWEAR we're done with bloatware, adware and scumware
"The events of last week reinforce the principle that customer experience, security and privacy must be our top priorities"
Shouldn't they be anyway? Is this lenovo admitting that security and privacy were not to priorities? At least not until they were caught anyway.

Good riddance. Never have I had so many issues with a piece of networking kit.
Finnish PM: Apple has DESTROYED FINLAND
Re: On the contrary
Indeed. It was a combination of OPK, Elop, that stupid as all hell burning platforms memo and a lack of risk taking.
Sorry, chaps! We didn't mean to steamroller legit No-IP users – Microsoft
A thought just crossed my mind
If Microsoft cannot handle the DNS requests for No-ip can they not scale them out to Azure and if not, is Azure not fit for purpose?
This little cock up should come back and bite them hard.
Still not working for me either.
VMware to offer converged compute and storage hardware
Worst logo ever........
Seriously, it looks like VMWare are trying to give birth to something......
Oh maybe they are....
Ignore the pie-in-the-sky storage roadmaps. This is what's REALLY afoot
Fully agree with point 7. I really can't see the point of FCoE. If you want to chuck data down ethernet cables then you can go iSCSI and 10GBE. If you want FC then you can go pure FC. Having a middle ground with FCoE just seems like a solution to a problem that no one has.
Nokia to launch low-cost Android phone this month – report
A shade over two years after Elop made huge swathes of ex-Symbian folk redundant following on from the burning platforms memo and decided that the way forward was Microsoft......
WTF as an icon because this is a WTF situation.
Just how solid is cloud storage in 2014
The cloud is a wonderful resource but when you use it please do remember that it's someone elses hardware and the chances of that someone else caring as much about your data is pretty much zero. Even private cloud service providers will operate like that, after all, unused capacity is a loss of money to them so please do your due diligence and make sure that when the cloud platform falls over you have your own backup/DR/Replicas ready to go.
On another note 'The UK's 2e2 cloud service collapsed in February with users asked to pay up to $40,000 extra to get their data back.' - anyone have a link for that?
MPs back call to boycott low-taxed tat from Amazon over Xmas
Re: Do what we want, not what we say
I would 'suck it up' if I wasn't paying tax on everything.
Get paid by work - it's taxed.
Put money into my savings account - it's taxed
Buy something at the shop - it's taxed
Order something online - it's taxed
Pay my bills - they are taxed
And my MP? Well, they are in various tax avoidance schemes and have expense funds to handle all that.
Something is very wrong somewhere.
So, According to our lords and masters we should boycott amazon because they use the law and tax loopholes to avoid tax?
Well, you know who else use the same loopholes? MP's.
So lets compare the two.
I can order goods from Amazon which arrive, normally on schedule. If something goes wrong I can speak to someone and they'll replace the goods with no fuss or argument. They also provide things like AWS.
My MP - A tax scrounging, expense stealing parasite that I am banned from speaking to.
Which one would I rather see avoid tax? Neither of them but for service Amazon wins out, therefore this bunch of MP's can go screw themselves rather than the electorate.
EMC tries to snuff out SolidFire before tomorrow's XtremIO-gasm
As one of the few people here who has installed a solidfire cluster my comment is that it's "not bad". It's an iSCSI only cluster than is all SSD and provides a max of 15,000 IOPS per volume. It has a few limitations at the moment but it's still quite new.
Wanted: IT world domination. Can Spiceworks succeed?
I hope spiceworks does succeed. It's the only place on the internet that I know of where multiple vendors and users can come together to share information. It's a fairly level playing field like that. It deserves to succeed.
Microsoft CEO shortlist claim: It's just Elop, Bates, Mulally, Nadella and...
Part of me would like to see Elop get it. It would be fun to see him break up the company and sell it to Apple..... ;)
Nice job, technology. Now we have to work FIVE TIMES HARDER
It's a shame that many companies still insist on daily attendance at the office. Even with high speed internet access and remote working there are many managers who think that 'work from home' means 'take a sneaky day off' and there is no tech to improve that trust.
Flash cheaper than disk? 'Customers aren't buying that', says NetApp CEO
We had a presentation of flashray and I was kinda left with a 'meh' impression and I think that Georgens is wrong with his 'you can't have idle data on flash' because with flash you may pay more per gb but you pay less in power, cooling and rack space.

UK gov's smart meter dream unplugged: A 'colossal waste of cash'
The Americans certainly haven't welcomed them and I was told by a meter reader that they have a habit of picking up every spike, especially those from older appliances which generate a voltage spike when turned on which leads to much higher bills.
I was 'surveyed' for one of these meters the other day and I'll be doing what I can to resist having it installed.
Ofcom fines TalkTalk AGAIN - a whopping £750k over 'abandoned calls' gaffe
good on Ofcom. Next time make the fine higher.
Oh I'm so surprised. TalkTalk deserve this. I had one dealing with them a few years back where they took on my phone line without consent. The sales drone had forged my signature!
A few months back one of the TalkTalk sales drones knocked on my door and promised me that 'it is all different now'. It seems that OFCOM has proven that TalkTalk are as disgusting and shady as ever.
Tech is the biggest problem facing archiving
There are actually places that have older style drives to be able to recover data from those tapes sitting out at places like iron mountain at the moment. Of course, one issue here is that to recover data from 10 years ago - or more but it goes a lot further than just the tape drives.
so, once we've found the tape drive that we need we'd then need to find the tape(s) and hope they work.. hang on, how do we restore it? Ok, we need to build a server so we need the correct software - maybe even the patch version. Where do we get that? The supplier doesn't exist any more (or has been bought out). We've got the server backed up on tape but are now in a chicken and egg situation and even if we get the server back we may well need the domain as some backup products (netbackup for example) will use the domain SID to generate an encryption key.
You did keep the passwords for the domain somewhere safe didn't you and not just on the tape????
Long term archive presents a whole series of problems. Tape format and machines to read it are just one of those problems.
BAN SMUT, rage MEPs: Purpose of internet must be EXTERMINATED
It is... extremely badly drafted and almost certainly too absurd to be taken seriously.
Sounds like a lot of legislation that then becomes law.
this is a crazy thing to focus on though, if they haven't defined what pornography is it'll hit girlie mags and the chippendales.
I'll also add that there are other places where sex is banned - certain religious establishments for example and it's worked oh so well for them hasn't it?

Apple: iOS 6.1 network overload caused by our Exchange SYNC OF DOOM

Microsoft! Bing! must! make! Yahoo! more! money! moans! Mayer!

And that is the big question. They are kinda search, kinda forums but don't have a focus anywhere. They need to pick a direction and a service then sell that. Right now they are doing several different things and all of them are terrible.
'Meh' Because that's exactly how I feel about yahoo.
Why you need a home lab to keep your job
having a home test lab is a great idea and a necessary expensive IMO. However, it would help if the vendors made 'it lab' license versions available otherwise you've either got trailware or borrowed licence keys.
Another thing vendors could do to help is to allow IT folk access to some of the simulators they have. Both Netapp and VNX have simulators but you already have to have a support contract which strikes me as slightly crazy.
Axed staffers hijack HMV Twitter account: 'We're tweeting LIVE from HR'
I liked the 'technically illegal unpaid intern bit'. Why highlight that now and not two years ago when it was actually happening?
It seems that she was ok with the HMV dodgy dealings when she had a job but as soon as she is under threat up goes all the accusations.
Silly gits upload private crypto keys to public GitHub projects
Management Pressure?
I don't think it's all idiots or people being careless, I think a lot of it is down to 'Get It Done' pressure that people are under these days. Management need something done urgently so sysadmins will often find ways around various blocks to get it done with good intentions to fix it later but, of course, later never comes and so this is what you have.
Nokia axes 300 IT bods, outsources 820 to Tata, HCL
James47 - Hah! I remember that and all the moaning about them on the internal facebook tool (socialcircle or socialjerk or something it was called).
At least I got paid off by Nokia a year ago, rather that than getting shifted sideways into HCL. I feel for those left behind.

A single router is responsible for that much of a problem? what happened to eliminating single points of failure?
Blackberry, O2, Blackberry again........ not good.
Build a BONKERS test lab: Everything you need before you deploy
Talking of the HP Microservers this is my set up:
5 N40L's - two with 8GB running FreeNAS for replicated storage, three with 16GB (Yes, it's possible http://n40l.wikia.com/wiki/Memory) running VMWare ESX. All have three NICs and they plug into a managed gig switch.
So costs?
5 N40L's with the cashback = £500. Lets say £600 including delivery.
RAM - 4 x 4GB = £105.58
RAM - 6 x 8GB = £312
FreeNAS hard drives = 10 x 2TB = £1600 (7.1tb usable per NAS box if you use RAID5).
10 Intel CT Nics = £423.6
Netgear Gigabit managed switch GS748T = £297.58
Total = £3338.76 not including money back from selling the old RAM on ebay.
The article says the total was $7965 which works out to £4901.77 and I'd say that the N40L route is a better route because of the options for different configurations, scenarios, etc.
Help-desk hell
Re: Virgin Media Drone
Oh I can beat that with a BT internet drone.
I was having issues sending email did a few checks to find that the BT SMTP server wasn't accepting traffic on port 25 like it normally does so I phone up the disservice desk to tell them that the SMTP server is out of action. The drone refuses to listen without going through the script then she decides that she can help me if she can take remote control of the PC.
So, as I had nothing better to do I let her take remote control of my PC.
She clicks on Start -> Run -> CMD -> IPCONFIG
up comes my IP address 172.16.1.X
She says....... 'Oh that's your problem Sir, BT use 192.168.Y.Z IP ranges. You are not connected to the internet'.
Even when I pointed out that I must be connected to the internet thanks to the powers of a NATTed router and how could she be accessing my PC if I wasn't she wasn't having any of it and insisted that I needed to change my IP address to a valid one.........
NASA: THE TRUTH about the END OF THE WORLD on 21 Dec
It's scary how uneducated and easily lead some youth appear to be in this day. We've had so many 'end of the world' predictions that it would be comical if people weren't actually taken in.
those peddling such schemes should be arrested or something. they are evil, manipulative so and so's preying on the weak minded in much the same way as any other confidence trickster.

So if files are not property of the owner does that mean that all US govt files are also not property of the US Govt? If so, doesn't that mean that they should all be freely accessible?

Apple's iCloud goes titsup, email evaporates for unlucky 1%

McAfee splats bug that knocked punters offline
Ah good glad that one is fixed. I mean, it's only the fourth (or more?) times that McAfee have released an update thats broken a PC. Anyone recall the definition file that required an engine upgrade? If you didn't upgrade the engine the definition file would trash McAfee and cause PC problems.
Or the Engine update that tanked the PC
or the definition update that broke the application
and so on. McAfee are a joke now.
O2 dropped the ball in Olympic cycle race Twitter fiasco
I had train delays in Stratford a week prior to the Olympics and you'd think that just a week before the big event I'd be able to get a mobile signal to call my wife and tell her? Nope. Not a thing. I had to walk away from Stratford before I picked a signal up so O2 not having the capacity over at box hill doesn't surprise me. If they are asking people to stop using services then they have failed as mobile carrier network.
Sally Ride, trailblazing Shuttle astronaut, dies at 61

Fear not, Linux admins: There are TOOLS to help you
I like webmin
It's handy for the initial config of a linux box and for getting an overview. For the low level stuff then I agree that cli is better.
I also tend to turn off the linux firewall though because these are internal boxes so don't need a firewall. Oddly enough, the only linux box with the firewall on is the one in the testlab as thats mimicing a live environment that uses hardware firewalls.
Up the ZIL LANE to the Beach Volleyball changing rooms with BONG!
This article -> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2176371/London-2012-Olympics-Ministers-ordered-use-public-transport-chauffeured-cars.html?ito=feeds-newsxml <- Says that MPs have been told to use public transport - if so, just what are the Zil lanes for?
The DM article adds 'But furious MPs have said they would rather watch the Games on TV than cram onto the underground or buses, which would leave them too grumpy to schmooze their guests.'
Now, who can say 'Out of touch fat cats'?
AWS says disk is to cloud as tape is to disk
Isn't the answer tiered storage then? SSD for cache for frequently accessed data, SAS then SATA with auto-tiering to handle it all?
E-Cat pitching cold fusion to Australians
I agree with keep following it. Always good when a scam is exposed.
"However, the E-Cat has been a hit among green energy enthusiasts as a "save the world" technology."

Olympics security cockup down to software errors - report
"the security firm offered to fulfill the contract at a price 25% less than that of competitors"
With 25% less staff? I wonder if that was planned from the start.... Certainly agree with the above comments about G4S blaming technology. If the tech was such an issue why wasn't it picked up when the first 1,000/2,000 were recruited?
O2, GiffGaff network goes titsup for unlucky punters
The O2 situation seems to be getting worse. There is still an outage, calls are being dropped rather than going to voicemail. The O2 website is titsup.com and the call centre staff went home at 8pm (And it costs 5p per min to call them).
Meanwhile on Twitter the O2 account says 'Engineers are working hard to fix it' but there is no ETA. We are not some 10 hours into the outage. At this point they should have an idea of the root cause and an ETA.
Heads need to roll and there needs to be an investigation.
On O2 or rather not on O2 this evening as I have no connection at all. The O2 website just tries to sell stuff rather than having an update there so you have to go to 'http://status.o2.co.uk/' which might or might not work depending on how busy the server is.
Clicking on 'Contact Us' gives this:
'Knowledge Server is temporarily busy. Please try again.'
If the measure of a company is in how well than handle an outage then O2 have a lot of work to do for the next time.

And finally! I almost hate to be this happy about someone going home but there was just something about Aaron that I didn't care for. I'm sorry buddy…you were just too wee, too small, not really a boy but certainly not a man. I will say that he was talented in his own right….and would blow me out of the water so what can I say, but man…he just irked me.
Now we're down to just 4 peeps. Crystal and Casey have been my favorites from the get go and I certainly think one of them will win. I would prefer Casey being our Idol but I could easily see Mrs. Bowersox trumping the rest. I feel Mike is the one to go this next week…it's not even really a question. If Lee can keeps going like he did this week he'll stay for another. Next week's theme is songs from movies…we'll see what they choose.

Argentine midfielder Ledesma has not played for over a month as he struggles with an ankle injury.
The 24-year-old is now unlikely to be involved again this term, with Mowbray saying: "Manu's had a few aborted attempts at returning from the injury - the kid's desperate to play.
"It's ultimately been too sore when he's got his boots on and gone out on the training ground. He's had to come off and it looks like we're not going to see Manu again this season."
Friend tore his hamstring earlier this month and is also unlikely to feature.
"He's got a grade two hamstring and that's usually a minimum of four weeks. I think it's unlikely we'll see him again this season."

Chaos, Chaos is the theme of the day
The ignorance of man is causing dismay
Morals and values are thought of no more
Wisdom and reason has been shoved out the door.
Leadership is strengthening with a strong iron hand
To bring disorder and chaos upon this great land
Many are blinded by this show of force
but trust me my friend it will only get worse
Do not put your trust in these men
We are the people and we must take a stand
More and more people continue each day
to be fooled by the lies and the moral decay.
The press is monitored while churches are scorned
And innocent lives are not allowed to be born
Open your eyes people and look all around
the world we live in is no longer sound

By XB Yang and S.S. Navi, Department of Plant Pathology
Soybean white mold has been a production problem for soybean producers since early 1990s. White mold outbreaks often occur in even years due to crop rotations, with rare severe occurrences in odd years. Iowa's cool, wet summer has increased the white mold risk for some growers in eastern Iowa – even though it is an odd year. Extension field agronomist Virgil Schmitt first reported the occurrence of white mold in east central Iowa and Jim Fawcett, northeast Iowa field agronomist, has received a report of severe white mold in a 60-acre field.
Although many Iowa soybean producers are experienced with this disease, there are questions when it shows up in mid-August. Some are asking if applying chemicals is a solution. Others want to know if an immediate application of a fungicide can stop the infestation of this disease.
The short answer is that it is too late to use any fungicides for white mold control. It wastes resources if fungicides are applied now. White mold fungus attacks soybean plants during flowering stage and treatments to protect soybean have to be made before or during the flowering period, depending on chemicals used. The dead plants visible now are the results of fungus infestation that happened before mid-July.
ManagementIf you have severe white mold in your soybean fields, consider no-tillage if corn is a rotation crop. Another consideration is to use Contan after soybean harvest. Contan is a biological control agent proven to be effective in white mold control in many crops. A tolerant variety of soybean should be planted in this location during the next rotation or a consideration given to using Cobra, a herbicide that can reduce white mold infection if applied correctly. There are other chemicals in the same family that are effective in reducing the risk of this disease.

As soybean fields enter seed set throughout the state, we continue to get questions about how long to scout for soybean aphid. This year, aphid populations have been extremely variable with a limited number of fields exceeding the economic threshold (250 aphids per plant with increasing populations on 80 percent of the plants) in late July. In August, however, there have been more reports of increased aphid activity throughout the state (i.e., some fields were clean until last week). Many of the extension field agronomists also indicate winged aphids are showing up in fields. This correlates well with current aphid captures in the Regional Aphid Trapping Network (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Summary of winged aphids collected at the four Iowa suction traps in 2009. In addition to soybean aphid, there have been several other common species identified.
How do the winged soybean aphid numbers compare to other years? So far the actual number of soybean aphid trapped in Iowa is quite low and is similar to 2006 (Figure 2). However, other states are reporting high soybean aphid captures. Does this mean aphids recently found in Iowa fields came from other places? Winged aphids are capable of long distance migration via jet streams, but we aren't going to blame other states.
Figure 2. Summary of winged soybean aphid trapped from all four Iowa locations.
General guidelines recommend scouting for soybean aphid every 7-10 days through seed set (R5-R6), regardless of insecticide treatments applied during the year. Do not assume a seed treatment or preventative application will control aphid populations. In rare cases, fields treated at the economic threshold may need to be treated twice if aphids flare again during seed set.
We encourage growers and consultants to continue scouting because of all the winged aphids moving right now. Late-season infestations are possible and aphids can cause economic loss during seed development. As plants mature, they become less attractive to aphids. However, soybean aphids strongly prefer to feed on soybean and aphids will continue to feed as plants enter R7 (beginning maturity). In 2008, some fields had aphid populations increasing into September. What are the treatment recommendations for late-season infestations? Refer to ICM News article on this topic.

Matt O'Neal is an assistant professor of entomology with research and teaching responsibilities. He can be contacted by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone (515) 294-8622.
As soybean fields enter seed set, growers are getting concerned about late-season soybean aphid infestations. And with good reason - winged aphids are everywhere and some areas are experiencing increasing aphid densities. There is much evidence to show treating aphids when they exceed the economic threshold (250 aphids per plant with increasing populations on 80 percent of the plants) up to R5.5 will protect yield. But what happens if aphid populations are still increasing past seed set? This was the trend in 2008 when aphid populations were still increasing into September. So do late season insecticides financially make sense for managing soybean aphid? This is a difficult topic for us to discuss because of the lack of replicated data throughout the North Central Region.
Research conducted at ISU research farms is trying to answer that question. In 2008, replicated plots at the Northeast Research Farm near Nashua were naturally infested in August (Figure 1), reaching 250 aphids per plant when the plant was at the R6 stage. This late season infestation was used to determine if such a population should be treated. To see all the results from this experiment, which was part of our soybean aphid efficacy trials from 2005-2008, go to www.soybeanaphid.info. A condensed summary of the efficacy trial is summarized here with only four treatments shown:
1) Untreated control that never received an insecticide 2) Seed Treatment (mefenoxam +fludioxonil) only 3) λ-cyhalothrin applied at threshold (plants were at R6) 4) Aphid-free (plots treated with λ-cyhalothrin + chlorpyrifos on July 22, Aug. 1, and Aug. 22)
1) Untreated control that never received an insecticide 2) Seed Treatment (mefenoxam +fludioxonil) only 3) λ-cyhalothrin applied at threshold (plants were at R6) 4) Aphid-free (plots treated with λ-cyhalothrin + chlorpyrifos on July 22, Aug. 1, and Aug. 22)
Figure 1. Small plot research near Nashua, Iowa in 2008. The total number of aphids for the entire year is estimated in "cumulative aphid days" to reflect seasonal pressure. Statistical differences are represented by unique letters for cumulative aphid days (upper case) and yield (lower case).
Summary Research Points• There was a significant difference in the 'aphid-free' cumulative aphid day treatment compared to the other treatments.• There was no significant difference in yield between any of the treatments, although there was slightly lower yields in the 'untreated control.'
These data show a R6 treatment may not be worth it. Plants at R6 and beyond may be able to tolerate more aphids without experiencing yield loss. Unfortunately, we do not have a robust data set to help us make recommendations at R6 like we do for aphid outbreaks that occur during R1-R5. So going into August, consider the following factors before treating for soybean aphid. Careful monitoring of fields throughout the summer should give you an indication of the aphid trajectory - are numbers going up and how fast? If aphids are exceeding the threshold, then you must consider the overall treatment costs for an application in late August. Depending on the delivery method (ground or aerial) and product choice, control costs can exceed $15/acre. Keep in mind treating with ground equipment after the canopy closes can reduce yield by 1-2 bushels/acre.
If you decide to treat for aphids, remember to use sufficient volume and pressure to make contact with aphids on the undersides of leaves and in the lower canopy. Whenever possible, leave a check strip so that you can make evaluations of the value and performance of your insecticide application at harvest.

White mold has become evident in soybeans during the last two weeks, especially in eastern Iowa. Although infection occurred shortly after the beginning of flowering in late June and early July, the characteristic white myecial growth on infected plants has only become apparent the past two weeks. Really the only good news about this disease is that it does not have too much of a secondary disease cycle. In other words the disease itself is no longer spreading or is spreading one plant at a time.
The availability of fungicides for soybeans has raised many questions about their efficacy against white mold, particularly at this stage in the development of the disease. Despite some of the fungicides being classified as "curative", there most likely will be little positive effect from any fungicide applied at this time because of the stage of the disease. Remember that "curative" fungicides do NOT cure the plant of disease.
The most important thing for growers to do at this time is to note the presence of white mold in the field and then select for varieties with lower susceptibility or higher tolerance for white mold the next time soybeans are grown in the field. Wider rows may help with white mold, but wide rows have other drawbacks. If the conditions are good for white mold infection (cold and wet) at the beginning of flowering, the application of an appropriate fungicide at that time may help. An application of Cobra at or just before the first bloom has also been shown to lessen the impact of white mold.

This week Doug Cooper interviews Iowa State University Extension plant pathologist Daren Mueller, integrated pest management specialist Rich Pope, and soybean agronomist Palle Pedersen.
Mueller says wind- and hail-damaged crops may develop disease problems this year, however much of the damage may be too severe for fungicide application.
Pope relates Extension field agronomists reports of crop damage done across the center of the state in Sunday hail and wind storms.
Pedersen encourages growers to continue monitoring insects and managing when they reach threshold numbers.

During the past weekend hail storms once again wreaked havoc on corn and soybean fields across Iowa. Much like hail damage last month and last week, growers have an option to spray fungicides to protect remaining leaf tissue. We wrote an article last month walking through a fungicide decision on hail-damaged crops at that point in the growing season. Much of the information in that article remains relevant.
Points to once again consider:
1- There has only been one replicated study completed with the proper checks looking at hail damage on corn. The main conclusions from that two-year study completed in Illinois was that foliar fungicides did not significantly improve yield in either the damaged or non-damaged plots compared to the non-treated controls. Results from this research indicated that foliar fungicides provided very little benefit to corn injured by simulated hail.
2- This late in the season, there is not much time left for additional foliar disease to develop and contribute to yield loss, even with tattered leaves. Many of the diseases that are managed with fungicides do not require the wounds created by hail.
3- Depending on the percent of damage, yield potential is less in hail-damaged crops. Remember that fungicides protect yield, not create more yield. So, if yield potential is lowered by hail, this reduces the chances of recouping your costs of applying a fungicide.

A nearly average week of heat and some rain to boot! August could not have started better for Iowans, except for the band of hail and wind damage along the U.S. 20 / Iowa 175 corridor. For the week, we only lost around 10 to 15 base-50F degree days to average across Iowa. Like they say, just what the doctor ordered (except for the hail!).
Statewide, corn development ranges from brown silk (R2) to dough stage (R3), and soybeans are busily filling pods (R4--R5).
Soybean aphid numbers are increasing with some fields reaching the economic threshold of 250 per plant and increasing; most notably in the northeast, but in other scattered areas as well.
Corn leaf aphids have been bothersome in northwest and north central Iowa as well. There are not good thresholds available for treatment for aphids on corn, but extension entomologist Erin Hodgson posted a recent ICM News article that highlights the corn aphid. Corn leaf aphid numbers typically decline after tasselling, so the problem may soon start to ebb.
Also of interest is the Web page assembled by ISU Extension addressing late-season hail issues.

Hail storms again devastated portions of Iowa's corn crop on Aug. 9. Storms cut a 1 to 8 mile swath across north central Iowa. Producers in its path are asking, "How does hail after tasseling affect yield?"
Most corn in the affected area was in the blister stage (R2). According to hail industry tables, complete leaf loss at R2 results in 73 percent yield loss (see table). Amount of leaf loss as well as development stage greatly impacts losses. For example, if half of the leaves are lost, yields are reduced by 22 percent. Damage at tasseling, VT, affects yield more severely while losses both earlier and later in development are less severe.
Table. Estimated percent yield reduction caused by hail damage.
Consider a few other things relative to hail damage:• Stand losses also occur with hail storms. Yield losses are directly related the number of plants broken below the ear at these later development stages. For example a 10 percent stand loss – plants broken below the ear will result in a 10 percent yield loss in addition to any losses from defoliation.• Bruises on stalks and ear husks may allow pathogen entrance, thus further reducing yields and increasing issues with stalk and grain quality.• No research data supports fungicide applications as a method to improve crop recovery.• If a portion of the crop is worth harvesting, adjust combines well. Volunteer corn will likely be a problem in 2010 whether the crop is harvested or not.
These losses are devastating. Prior to the storm, the crop looked better than ever. Recovery of the crop, and growers, will be difficult.
For more information see the article on assessing hail damage from the National Corn Handbook. In addition, Iowa State University Extension developed and posted resources for producers affected by hail on a special Web page.

The association of plant disease with extreme weather is well documented, so it is no surprise that this year's extreme weather with record cool temperatures and plenty of rain has created favorable conditions for disease development in soybean. Disease that we are seeing includes sudden death syndrome (SDS) and several soybean foliar diseases, the most prevalent are Cercospora leaf blight, soybean brown spot, bacterial blight, and downy mildew. As August temperatures begin to heat up diseases such as Cercospora and frogeye leaf spot can increase. This will create a mixed bag of cool and warm diseases that can cause premature defoliation. Because of the potential disease mix, assessing the risk to crops is difficult.
Cercospora leaf blight was wide spread in July, but was low in intensity because low temperatures aren't favorable to the development of this disease. With increased August temperatures, reports show that this disease has picked up steam and built up quickly. ISU field agronomists Mark Carlton and Virgil Schmidt in southern Iowa are seeing fields with high levels of infestation of Cercospora leaf blight. Similar high level of the disease was reported by Brian Lang in northeast Iowa.
Soybean leaves infected by Cercospora have a leathery appearance and turn a mottled purple-to-orange color on the upper surface. Expression of these symptoms varies with varieties. Sometimes, this disease can be confused as "sunburn," with symptoms appearing on the lower leaf surface. If a summer is cool, the chance of sunburn is small. This July has been one of the coolest summers in Iowa, which is not favorable for sunburn development. This also happened three years ago in a cool summer. Identifying this disease requires experience in taking free-hand sections for observation of the fungus under a microscope. All samples from Iowa that we examined had Cercospora kikuchii, the causal fungus of this disease.
Brown spot, caused by the fungus Septoria glycines, is another foliar disease commonly seen in July. Symptoms include many irregular, dark brown spots on both upper and lower leaf surfaces. Adjacent lesions frequently merge to form irregularly shaped blotches. Like bacterial blight, this disease occurs every year. Disease symptoms occur on the lower leaves of soybean plants and progress upward as the plant develops. Brown spot usually does not cause early defoliation unless the disease progresses due to frequent rains later in the season.
Downy mildew has been wide spread this summer because of cool weather. The last time the disease was wide spread was in 2004, also a cool, wet season. High August temperatures should stop the development of this disease until late in the month. Fields with downy mildew may see more disease at that time if there are dews and mists. Except for affecting seed quality, little data is available on the reduction of soybean yield by this disease in Iowa.
Use of fungicide can prevent early defoliation when foliar disease risk is high. One question I receive most often from producers is whether to spray or not. This is a site specific question. For fungicide applications, please see our other articles on fungicide applications.
Sudden death syndrome is showing up in east central Iowa this year. In the areas we have visited, the severity was the highest we have experienced. Although the disease has also been observed in other regions of Iowa, the level and extent of this disease is yet to be determined; that will be clearer later in August. In 2006 the disease showed up very early, with many reports before the first week of July. Like 2006, cool temperatures this summer may have contributed to its occurrence. Plants with SDS have leaves exhibiting chlorotic spots and necrosis between green veins. The roots of these plants have deteriorated. The simplest method of identifying SDS is to look for bluish fungal colonies on the taproot in severely affected plants.
Once patches of SDS are found, it would be wise to avoid planting susceptible varieties the following season. Resistant or tolerant varieties should be planted in fields that have history of SDS. Good varieties have been developed and are available from many seed companies in Iowa.
White mold infection was also encouraged by the cool, wet July conditions and the disease risk can be high when fields met these two conditions: 1) had the disease before and did not use Contans 2) was planted early and had dense closed canopy in early July
Fields that has been applied with Contans should have low risk and growers have observed less disease after use Contans in soybean fields previously had severe white mold.

The simple truth of the matter is that your tasting experience at Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards will vary somewhat depending on when you visit. Sure there are some basics. You'll be greeted by a friendly staff member inviting you to one of the tasting bars where you'll find a wide assortment of wines to try, and a bowl of fresh popcorn to nibble. After paying just a $3 tasting fee, you'll receive a $3 coupon to apply toward your purchase in our wine and gift shop. A staff member will then guide you through your tasting selections and answer any questions you may have about the wines or the farm.
Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards & Winery, having entered its twentieth year of wine sales, might be considered a youngster in this industry. However, 20 years of retail doesn't do justice to the history and experience of the Hazlitt clan. Viticulture has been the life blood of the family for 151 years. On April 1, 1852 David Hazlitt and his wife Clarissa Roberts Hazlitt purchased 153 acres in the hamlet of Hector including most of present day Peach Orchard Point. The property's fruit trees and vineyards provided regionally sold produce that the Hazlitts shipped via wagon, boat, and the ever-expanding railroad. This era also saw the opening in Hammondsport of Great Western Winery and the demand for Hazlitt grapes in wine production.
Around the turn of the century David and Clarissa's son James Robert and Mary Miller Hazlitt purchased the current family home at 5631 Rt. 414. The house was later occupied by William Herbert Hazlitt and his wife Inez LaMoreaux and is now the home of Elisabeth Voorhees Hazlitt, widow of James R. Hazlitt. Her sons, James R. and Jerome V. Hazlitt divided the land in the early 1980's and both continued to operate vineyards. At present Jim and his son Eric produce vinifera grapes at Sawmill Creek Vineyards.
The late Jerry Hazlitt and his wife Elaine founded the winery in 1984. Jerry was an ardent home winemaker and wanted to share the fruits of his labors with friends and visitors. His love of the Finger Lakes , antiquities, and native lore made for many Saturday afternoon gatherings around the original tasting room bar sipping wine and being mesmerized by Jerry's animated storytelling. The Hazlitt tasting bars are still a laid back visit for those who enjoy their wine with stories, jokes, and smiles.
Of course, behind all the smiles and friendly faces are hard-working dedicated people who take the winemaking process very seriously. Elaine Hazlitt and sixth generation Hazlitts Doug and Leigh operate a growing and evolving winery which garners national and international attention with some outstanding vintages.
Elaine, as company president, continues to work to assure that as the business expands the heritage and traditions are not lost. More matriarch than corporate officer, Elaine preserves the century and a half old family feel. Hazlitt winery was built and opened as an extension of a family's passion. After well over a century of grape growing as a source of revenue the Hazlitt family found themselves faced with a drastic drop in crop prices in the early 1980's. Faced with the choice of selling the land and getting out of the business or finding another solution, Elaine and Jerry created their own alternative. Adept winemaking skills and a genuine nature of hospitality had always made the Hazlitt household conducive to great social gatherings. "Why not," thought the Hazlitts "invite the rest of the world to enjoy the great wines and great times?"
A very competent winemaker himself, Doug Hazlitt has assumed responsibility for daily operations of production. Having been involved in the winery from the start, Doug spent some time away from Seneca Lake to get his degree from SUNY Cobleskill. He also worked for a time as a river guide in Alaska , and then took time to hone his skills as a sailor. A natural with wind-driven vessels, Doug navigated many boats from U.S. coastal waters to the Carribean for owners who wanted the trip done right. In addition to his labors at the winery, for a period of time Doug owned and chartered the Malabar X. Originally launched in 1930 the wooden schooner was the racing design of its time and the ship to beat. Seventy-three years later and fully restored the Malabar X under the command of Captain Doug Hazlitt took the winning trophy in class at the 2003 Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner race in October. Visitors to the winery are much more likely to find Doug on a tractor or helm of the boat than in his office. He wouldn't have it any other way.
Daughter Leigh Hazlitt Triner shoulders the job of chief financial officer. "If you'd asked me while I was in college, it's unlikely that I would have told you I'd be working here after graduation." With a degree from Cornell in hotel management, Leigh envisioned a position in the corporate world. Fortunately for Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, she missed the lake and the beauty of the region. After a stint in Ohio with a major hotel chain and a move to California , Leigh returned to join the business as generation six. "I watched the winery grow and change. And each time I came home for a visit a new expansion was in the works. For years as a small business Mom [Elaine] had kept track of everything via pad and paper ledger. The mid and late nineties saw enormous growth in production and the popularity of Hazlitt's. We also had more employees, more outside distribution, and a larger retail area. I saw the need to computerize the books and operating systems. Mom needed help and I missed the lake I'd grown up with and loved. It's worked out great. And now," Leigh smiles as she stirrups her left foot and swings up onto Gharro, a gentle thoroughbred the family adopted, "I wouldn't be anywhere else."
The rest of the staff can usually be found smiling and joking with customers at the horse shoe bar. The smiles are genuine. There are few better places to learn and work. Their philosophies align with the family goal of growing and bottling amazing wine and not shrouding the product in mystery and the 'snobbery' often associated with enjoying wine. "Sure we make some great complex vinifera vintages," says Leigh. "But we don't stick our noses up and scoff at the people who enjoy sweeter blends or a fun bottle of Red Cat." Leigh's attitude is reflected by the entire staff, and the Hazlitt tasting room is perhaps the most warm and welcoming on the wine trail.
Ah, the famous Hazlitt Red Cat wine. Or maybe it's better to call it the infamous Red Cat (a.k.a. HHJ) wine. Everyone comes to the winery to taste the Cat. Why? Because it's a great wine with a great story! A forbidden story, that intrigues every patron, even the unsuspecting ones.
Legend tells that in the early 1980s, before the actual winery existed, founder Jerry Hazlitt, a 5th generation grape grower, made wine in his home for family and local friends. The first batch was hand pressed (actually foot stomped) in a big wooden tub in Jerry and wife Elaine's driveway. The wine they called Red Catawba, for the native New York grapes used to make it, would soon be nicknamed Red Cat.
Some of this early Red Cat(awba) wine made it's way down to a First of May Party at Hazlitt beach on Seneca Lake. Jerry's sons, re-known for their gracious hospitality with the fairer gender, "borrowed some of Dad's grape juice" and hosted a waterfront bash with a big bonfire and a homemade hot tub. It was quickly noted that as Red Cat was consumed, less apparel was worn in the hot tub. Thus HHJ, the original hot tub wine was born.
These days Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards makes many thousands of gallons of Red Cat a year. Tens of thousands of visitors each year stand at the horse shoe bar and bellow the Red Cat chant with friends and staff. Red Cat offers logo T-shirts, golf balls, beer & wine koozies, and of course thong panties. The rumors still circulate, new stories are told, and Red Cat still brings smiles and fun to a party.

In the case of the McCanns, Keppel says that Portuguese police should have been more proactive in their treatment of the parents. "If the parents are claiming that the kid was abducted, they should have processed them right away for physical evidence -- scars, marks, blood stains on clothing."
Unfortunately, police in these circumstances are often governed by the emotion of the moment, says Keppel. "They veer between two extremes: If they're only treating them as suspects, that can be a problem. And if they only treat them as grieving parents, that can be a problem."
Michelle Oberman, a law professor at Santa Clara University of Law and the author of "Mothers Who Kill Their Children," was also surprised that the police didn't question the parents right away.
"It's the most natural place to start," she says. "The question is why didn't they do this three months ago. The numbers are pretty astonishing, that young children are at greatest risk of homicide by their parents."
One parent who's been in the hot seat, as a sympathetic figure and as a possible suspect, is Ed Smart, the father of Elizabeth Smart. His daughter was abducted at age 14 by a homeless handyman and his female companion and kept for nine months before being reunited with her family in 2003. During the ordeal, the police seized Ed Smart's computer and questioned him and his brothers about Elizabeth's disappearance.
Smart says that he believes in the McCanns and that he talks to Gerry McCann every week, offering him advice and support. "I have been in touch with Gerry ever since the end of July when he came to the U.S. and it was recommended that we talk because of the similarity of our cases," Smart tells ABCNEWS.com.
"In either case, I don't think that the police were trained to deal with the situation, and I don't think that it was done correctly to begin with," he says. Smart claims that the police leak information and innuendo to the media, are prone to tunnel vision and become fixated on a single suspect without following all the leads.
Smart questions some of the recent evidence in the McCann case, including microscopic traces of blood found on the walls of their apartment, saying he's talked to Gerry about it. "He said to me, 'I don't know who's been in the apartment that we've been in -- they might have cut themselves.'"
He also questioned the use of sniffer dogs in the case. "We had 10 dogs when Elizabeth was abducted and they looked at two or three areas of our backyard before losing the scent," he explains. "I don't have a lot of faith in the dogs because of what happened to us."
Smart believes in the innocence of the McCanns: "I do not believe for a minute that anyone who killed their daughter would be staying in Portugal for four months and go on international trips to publicize the loss of their daughter."
The couple also attracts the sympathy of Barry Cohen, the lawyer for Marlene and Steve Aisenberg, the couple once charged with lying about the 1997 disappearance of their infant daughter, Sabrina.
"Accidents happen and it's a tenable theory that the parents panicked and concocted this story about a kidnapping and went to dispose of the body," he explains. But Cohen questions the evidence: "How do you get blood in the rented car if the girl wasn't in that car?"

If the interest rate on subsidized Stafford student loans is allowed to rise from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1, 19,024 students in Vermont will be affected, and their annual interest payments will increase $15,790,989.
That's $828 per student per year.
The numbers come from House Democrats, who began stepping up their campaign for an interest-rate freeze several months ago. Vermont's own Peter Welch made his pitch in an airport news conference last week.
Now President Obama has inserted this issue in the "national conversation" by holding forth in various campaign-style campus appearances on the importance of holding down the rate. Even Mitt Romney, whose flagellations of Obama have an almost knee-jerk quality, agrees on this. And so do House Republicans, finally, with their own competing bill.
Holding down student debt is something that's difficult to oppose in an election year. Everyone seems to agree that the Stafford rate should be maintained at 3.4 percent, even at a cost of $5.9 billion. The partisan divide is over how to pay for it — by soaking the oil companies (House Democrats) or a public health fund (House Republicans).
So, get ready for the customary brinksmanship as July 1 approaches, but try to find something else to worry about, because chances are pretty good — if our recent experiences with the debt ceiling and the government shutdown are anything to go by — that the dysfunctionalists will work something out.

There's no question that a website is more mission-critical for some businesses than others.

Compared with attracting new customers through advertising or conventional marketing, websites are amazingly low cost and the possibilities are endless.

Little Love for J-Love's New Shape Cover
Blogs and other media outlets have been noting that Hewitt's newly svelte cover body doesn't quite match slightly curvier shots of the actress playing tennis in a black bikini last month. "Now, she is by no means an overweight woman, but even so, this health and fitness magazine airbrushed her size 2 ass," notes The Evil Beet.

Hewitt is hardly the first star to fall prey to an overzealous, Photoshop-wielding art director. In August, another health and fitness magazine, Self, weathered a firestorm of criticism for its blatantly altered cover shot of singer Kelly Clarkson, 27, that was ironically accompanied by the coverline, "Stay true to you and everyone else will love you too!"
Women's blog Jezebel.com probably summarized the outcry best, writing, "So even though Kelly Clarkson has said she's confident at any size and [editor Lucy] Danziger points out that Clarkson works out and is 'as fit as anyone else we have featured in Self,' the magazine's staffers decided having her instantly shed a few pounds would make her look even more confident and healthy. Oh-kay, then."
Self editor Lucy Danziger responded to the brouhaha on her blog, defending the magazine and the practice of manipulating cover shots. In a post titled, "Pictures That Please Us," Danziger writes, "Portraits like the one we take each month for the cover of SELF are not supposed to be unedited or a true-to-life snapshot... We allow the postproduction process to happen, where we mark up the photograph to correct any awkward wrinkles in the blouse, flyaway hair and other things that might detract from the beauty of the shot."
She goes on to add, "Did we alter her appearance? Only to make her look her personal best. Did we publish an act of fiction? No. Not unless you think all photos are that."
As savvy media consumers, we know that painful pimples and awkward cowlicks are almost always edited out of images, but is it naïve of us to expect that cover shots reasonably resemble the celebrity supposedly pictured? Hewitt's photo is not nearly as manipulated as Clarkson's but probably the most troubling aspect about both pictures is that they're on the front of health and fitness magazines. These aren't stylized fashion shots. These are magazines that tout ideals of health and wellness and self-acceptance. How can any publication in good faith encourage its readers to overlook their imperfections when every single imperfection has been removed from its models?
The bottom line is, it's probably not that big of a deal when a dimple of cellulite or an under eye shadow find their way to the digital graveyard, but in the case of Hewitt and Clarkson, we should care that cover models are an accurate representation of the ideals and headlines touted on magazine covers and in their pages. No matter what magazine editors tell us.

there was nothing wrong with JLH body. Every girl should look that good. What's wrong with dealing with the body that God gave you. These days you don't know if your guy or girl is what they really are. Everyone is into bleaching their teeth, botox, liposuction , face lifts. I say, love yourself. Perfect your body with good ol diet and exercise and be happy. We don't want everyone to look like a stepford wife.

I think she looks awesome in both photo's..Who has a waist that size and hips to go with it. She's lucky! She's a very beautiful lady that deserves to be left alone as far as this subject is concerned. Curves are beautiful...so the man I'm involved with says..Someone tell me how to get a waist that size???
Have a good one..
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy Reanna
I think she looks awful in the black bathing suit, but that picture was taken a month ago! How come no one else has mentioned the fact that all she had to do was some heavy duty dieting and exercising for a month... that's what they all do she knew she had the cover shoot-
But of course they are photoshopped. they all are. No one wants to look at a fat person on a magazine. disgusting.
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy Rhett
I'll give $100 to anyone that knows who gave her my phone number!
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy Jenn
i dont think they did photoshop on her shes just angeled in the shot. she doesnt look that different! anyone can look a few lbs lighter in a pic if there different angels in the shot!
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy twindadtubby
The only thing wrong with J=Love is she isn't with me!!!!I would take her when she was "fat" and i will take her now!!
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy jim c
who give a damn about stupid things like this anyway? some low life! its her body and not anyone elses to judge! these kind of (so called news stories are what leads weak minded people to judge others!) why dont these reporters just shoot themselfs? I will provide all the ammo needed, if thay will just put themselfs out of our missery!
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy bob
don't think photo altered...
is simply a matter of the angle and the pose...
what makes her look large are hips and thighs
(and she will not be able to do much about the hips), but put her lower body at angle and
corss legs a bit to cover portions of thighs
and there you go...works all the time..notice
in before and after photos on weight ads and such, it is done all the time...
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy suzanne
I cant believe so much time is wasted hacking her apart. The only difference I see is the pose. Her hips are in different position, which is more flattering to anyones figure. and the different bra top type bikini shich gives support to anyone also. I think she looks great in them both. Lighting and poses and suit changes will change anyones appearance. Everyone in business knows that. Lame and sad of the news to constantly attack her. Jenny mcarthy was on the cover a couple months back and noone did it to her and she went on ellen and said they photo shopped her pics because doesnt look like that cover pic in real life. I didnt see her splattered all over the news. crazy, jen looks good leave her alone!
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy David
I think JLH an KC look just great..no masking..tell the media to stay out of there lives..we dont need image to like the stars we like
- Sunday 27 September
I agree that they are very different pictures. In the mag photo she is turned a bit sideways and no so in the pap photo. In the mag she is wearing a pushup bra and no so in the pap pic. Waist looks the same size in both.
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy vjweiner
If they can photograph hundreds of thousands of
people behind the Verizon guy with the glasses,
they can sure change the bodies of these movie
Jennifer Anniston's body on the cover of a magazine
wasn't her own, because her head looked attached
to the rest of her. It was twisted in an unnatural
position - and Jennifer Love Hewitt is the same.
I wish they could take some of this fat off me the
way they do a lot of the glamor girls.
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy Babs
What I dont understand about the public now-a-days is - why do you support magazines, celebrities, writers , anyone that you dont believe in? Why do you support celebrities that display bad behaviour? If folks didnt SUPPORT these people they wouldnt make all the money they do - and continue their bad behaviour! Youre being taken advantage of by unscrupilous people!
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy madkono
she's standing differently in both shots. she has lost some fat around her thighs, but her butt still looks FINE!!!
- Sunday 27 September
You can see the minor differences are because of lighting, posing, camera angle etc.
I see NO photoshopping evidence as many of the comments below agree, so why is the poll saying the opposite? Hmmm...
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy steph
JLH was not photoshoped in that photo. The differences in the pictures is solely due to lighting, the cut of the bikini, and the posture/pose is which she is standing to make herself appear slimmer in the professional shot. Anyone can look good with loads of people making suggestions.
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy xmab2x
Oh come on....the only difference between one pic and another is that a professional took the magazine cover....while some idiot, sneaking around in the bushes, took the other. Let's get over trying to disrespect people's bodies!! How desperate are we for news when so many other things are happening in the world?? When things get slow....pick on JLH. Pathetic.
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy Trind
What's the big deal? She looks just fine in both photos. Now, Madonna's new boy toy.....you go girl.
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy Vic
Who plays tennis in a bikini?
- Sunday 27 SeptemberBy nomoretoyota
Maybe a little shop below the navel. Her butt is getting big, but thats genes. I only wish she would unleash those bombs for everyone to see, they got to be magnificent!
