Staff Lists
The Top 200 Albums of the 2000s: 100-51
By Pitchfork , September 30, 2009
A few things happened at the beginning of the decade that made people wonder if albums would still matter in 2009. There was Napster, which, as New Year's Day 2000 hit, was already a few months old and only getting bigger. And then, a little over a year and a half later, the iPod emerged, vastly improving the experience of listening to mp3s. For some, these new technologies signaled the end of the long-playing record as we knew it. The single was back! People-- especially kids-- wanted to shuffle and experience one track at a time. The only question for the album, then, was when it would finally breathe its last breath.
It didn't quite work out that way, though. There was some truth to the predictions, of course-- single tracks do matter a whole lot (we covered 500 of the best of them from the decade here), CD sales are way down compared to 10 years ago-- but the album as a format is still indispensable. As it turns out, allowing artists the freedom to write, record, sequence, and present music in 30- to 60-minute chunks still has value; it's a good structure to organize listening around. And in assembling our list of Top 200 Albums of the Decade, which we're going to be counting down all week, we were reminded of how much vital music was made during this time. We've put together albums lists for the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, and the music we're going to present here stands up to any of these decades.
So let's get to it: You've read and listened to the tracks, read essays about developments in technology, pop, noise, and indie, watched the videos, heard what the artists thought, and taken in our recap of the big events. Now, concluding our P2K coverage of the 2000s, it's time for the Top 200 Albums. Please note that, in the interest of keeping the list broad, we capped the number of albums for any given artist at three.
100. ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
Source Tags & Codes
[Interscope; 2002]
Blending exquisite ballast, searching psychonautica, greasy glam, thought-eradicating pummelprog, and bleary spindlerock, Source Tags & Codes operates on a grand scale. Seven years and many diminishing returns later, it still manages to overwhelm like it did whenever you first let it wash over you. Even as "Homage" melts your face or "Baudelaire" boogies its way into your brain, you half-expect whatever's next to fail. At some point the grandiosity should turn to bloat right? But on the back of 11 well-crafted, brutally executed scorched-earth lighter-raisers, it succeeds. Of course they never did it again; how could they have? --Paul Thompson
99. Lil Wayne
Da Drought 3
[Young Money Entertainment; 2007]
Anyone can play guitar. But really, after Da Drought 3, what else did a free-associating New Orleans rap star have left to try? Auto-Tune? OK, he did that, too. Lil Wayne's most recent truly great mixtape should probably be remembered as the one that forced its stoned creator to look outside rap if he wanted to get much higher. Drought 3 doesn't have the gravitas of Dedication 2's "Georgia...Bush", but it has everything else except flow-killing DJ tags: Wayne's fully ripened rasp, top-flight instrumentals, rhymes creative enough to swallow both them and bigger rappers whole, Harry and the Hendersons, Gremlins, Grey Poupon, "Raspberry Beret", syrup, pills, weed, Bloods, Brett Favre, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Donovan McNabb, Pam Grier, a Jamaican accent, an insane "Crazy", a heartfelt ode to Ciara, a hilarious explanation for kissing his hip-hop benefactor. And this: "I don't rap, I just shit like a newborn." It's dedicated to Wayne's grandma, and he hopes you got it for free. --Marc Hogan
98. Cat Power
You Are Free
[Matador; 2003]
Look at what preceded You Are Free, and you'll find a performer whose work (both in-studio and onstage) was often derided as amateurish. Look at what follows it, and the backhanded buzzword for naysayers and disgruntled fans is "professional." You Are Free is, to this point in her career, the last time that Chan Marshall has sounded like the Cat Power most admire-- the doe-eyed waif gifted with an awkward poetic grace and burdened with world-weary wisdom. It's a vulnerable yet confident record, and not just because she's able to effortlessly incorporate contributions from grunge heavy hitters like Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder like it ain't no thing. It's because it shows Marshall at her best (especially on standout tracks like "Names" and "He War"), when she's able to be both vulnerable and confident at the same time. It was her next album that she wryly called The Greatest, but it's You Are Free that has the rights to that honor. --David Raposa
97. The Dismemberment Plan
[DeSoto; 2001]
You wake up one morning, last's night's ill-advised champagne dump still slick against your brow, crumpled up invitation-to-everywhere next to the bed, and there's this other person in there. And they don't leave, either, so you feed every detail through your memory machine until all they ever seem to say is goodbye, and they're gone. Our new-new-romantic overanxious urbanite narrator of the Dismemberment Plan-- let's call him Travis-- seems to have got himself good and heartbroken sometime between 1999's landmark art-funker Emergency & I and 2001's Change, and, just like when it happens to you, it weighs on every moment. Change does emo a few better by eschewing melodrama (well, mostly) for the real heartbreak of heartbreak: how very mundane it gets, feeling like shit about somebody. As the Plan grind out a frostier, more languorous version of their frenzied groove, Travis Morrison recounts decidedly uncool but entirely relatable reset-button stuff like calling your dad for relationship advice or gnashing your teeth at friends who start pairing off and not returning your records. How terribly fitting that a difficult record about the troubles with transition would serve as the swan song for a band gone far too soon. --Paul Thompson
96. Spoon
Girls Can Tell
[Merge; 2001]
For folks smitten with the leaps and bounds Spoon made between their Matador debut and A Series of Sneaks, the three-year wait between the group's only major label effort and their full-length Merge debut was long and seemingly interminable. But you know how the rest goes: In some ways, Girls Can Tell is as much a nod to the band's roots as a harbinger of what was to come-- album closer "Chicago at Night" dates back to Britt Daniel's solo days toiling as Drake Tungsten, while "Me and the Bean" was a song originally written and recorded by fellow Austinites the Sidehackers. Those gestures, coupled with the growth of the group's songwriting evident through, are as fitting a sendoff to Spoon's salad days as one could hope. Our own Nick Mirov said it best, way way back in 2001: "(T)hey no longer sound like the Pixies, Gang of Four, or Wire...they sound like Spoon now." --David Raposa
95. Grizzly Bear
Yellow House
[Warp; 2006]
At once unassuming and swoon-inducingly gorgeous, Yellow House found Grizzly Bear shedding the crackly, lo-fi chrysalis of their formative years. They emerged with a newfound polish to match their growing ambitions, with intricately arranged songs taking shape amidst a rich soundfield. A certain old-timey feel prevails-- there's even a waltz, "Marla", written 70-odd years ago by a late relative of singer Ed Droste-- but the shadowy, dust-moted depth of the music moots its rootsiness. The music couldn't be further from dub, but something of the latter's haunted quality inhabits Grizzly Bear's tape-soaked music. Recorded in a country house near Cape Cod, and featuring a cover photo reminiscent of Edward Hopper's luminous interiors, Yellow House took the Brooklyn out of the band and made it something more universal. Billowing, multi-part vocal harmonies verge upon the utopian, blowing the New Weird America into a wide-open world where pop meets rural mysticism. --Philip Sherburne
94. Mclusky
Mclusky Do Dallas
[Beggars/Too Pure; 2002]
We keep our wise-ass friends for basically two reasons: Some are really nice guys once you get to know them, and some are just jerks who say a lot of funny shit. Andy Falkous and Steve Albini have made it clear where they fall, so it's no surprise they teamed up on Do Dallas-- the richest depository of quotable malevolence this side of Hell Hath No Fury. It's probably a stretch to call Do Dallas "subversive" when the production gives your speakers razor burn and the "ballad" is called "Fuck This Band". But think about 2002, when the prominent memes of rock music were wish-fulfillment fantasies of empathy, togetherness, hope, solace...heck, most of the anger was more of a cry for help than anything. We all talked a good game back then, but how long before you eventually got back to cutting people off in traffic, pissing on public toilet seats, off-handedly boasting about your cool shit, and caring more about The Bourne Identity and the World Cup than the news? The temptation to be a total dick just because you can carries an enormous power, and Do Dallas was a weapons-grade, vulgar display of that; it was also exactly 36 minutes of the most blisteringly intense pop-misanthropy the decade had to offer, but that's just Mclusky being better than your band. --Ian Cohen
93. 2 Many DJs
As Heard on Radio Soulwax, Pt. 2
2 Many DJs ushered in the anything-goes, nothing-matters, shuffle-meltdown vibe of 00s parties, blogs, and DIY remixers, and some have never forgiven them. Before Soulwax's DJ alter egos, "eclectic" still tended to go hand in hand with "tasteful"-- classic mixes like Coldcut's 1995 Journeys By DJ ranged across a breakbeat genrescape but never lost a sense of discernment. As Heard..., on the other hand, starts with a grotesque hippo-legged prog cover of "Peter Gunn", slaps Basement Jaxx on the top, and blasts off. So this album, judged by the usual standards of dance mixes-- consistency, progression, structure, revelation-- is deliberately terrible. In place of those virtues it offers a series of riotous peaks (Dolly! Röyksopp! Skee-Lo! Most of what was good about electroclash!) scattered willy nilly amongst whatever electro sides the Dewaele brothers could clear. The irony is that returning to it, what strikes you is how shrewd their song choices were-- licensing-forced covers aside everything here, mashed or unmashed, displays impeccable taste in pop. --Tom Ewing
92. Björk
[Elektra; 2001]
The fact that her most explicitly sexual album is also her most submissive might be a bummer to those who got off on Björk-as-huntress power trips of yore. But Vespertine's docile tranquility offers its own form of strength. "You're trying too hard-- surrender," she tells herself; "I can't say no to you," she admits. After years of forcing her will via dog-maddening squeals and beats that could turn Pluto into powder, Björk holds her armies back while exalting carnal desire with the godliness of Marvin Gaye. On Vespertine, heaven is lust. Whether pleasuring herself backed by angelic harps and strings on "Sun in My Mouth" or allowing herself pleasure on "Cocoon", the singer whispers and clicks her way to ecstasy slowly, deliberately. On several tracks, Björk's breaths-- some quick uptakes, some smoked sighs-- are left intact, providing corporeal commentary to the surrounding hush. This is no one-night stand; it's honeymoon fodder for saints. --Ryan Dombal
91. The New Pornographers
Mass Romantic
[Mint; 2000]
Though the ascents of Dan Bejar and Neko Case would retroactively validate the "supergroup" tag, the New Pornographers began their life more like a ragtag musicians' roundtable, a small group of upstarts and veterans brimming with talent and mutual respect. Yes, Mass Romantic has enough breezy power-pop hooks to fill five or so lesser records. But the real magic of Mass Romantic lies in Carl Newman's uncanny ability to craft a cohesive record without diluting the personalities at hand-- note how Newman picks up a submissive falsetto to complement Case's lead vocal in "Letter From an Occupant", and how Bejar's staggered phrasing is maintained even as "Breakin' the Law" is transformed from hushed acoustic demo into fist-pumping album closer. The band would go on to release a string of similarly catchy records, but Mass Romantic is their most charmingly character-driven piece. --Matt LeMay

PARIS -- (Marketwire) -- 11/05/12 -- Next week at Equip'Hotel in Paris, Nomadix, innovator and pioneer of public access gateways, and MCOM Media Communications, a leading IT and in-room entertainment solutions provider, will address how the European hospitality industry can better allocate existing bandwidth to increase their management and monetization of network access. Located in MCOM's booth at Hall 2, Stand D62, Nomadix and MCOM will provide demonstrations and application examples of how hotels, restaurants and other venues can leverage network access for a competitive edge and increased customer satisfaction.
With the explosion of Wi-Fi-enabled devices and the BYOD (bring your own device) movement, hotels of all sizes are struggling to keep up with the exabytes of data crossing their networks. The resulting increase in bandwidth consumption by guests is changing the way in which hotels manage their public and private Internet access networks, forcing them to seek alternative solutions that help them squeeze more performance out of their existing bandwidth.
Nomadix has heard from IT specialists and public access providers across the continent about the breadth of bandwidth management challenges, and recently conducted a series of educational seminars throughout Europe to address this issue. MCOM, a well established Nomadix partner, concurs that the impact of mobile devices by guests on host networks is a top priority for leading organizations. In response, MCOM has integrated Nomadix access gateways in their HOTstream MultiScreen platform, which offers bundled IPTV, VOD, HSIA and Hotel Interactive services to guests' mobiles devices as well as in-room TVs.
"With the additional bandwidth demands being placed upon hotels, it becomes vital for them to embrace tools that will help them do more with the network that's already in place," said Fred Reeder, chief commercial and operating officer of Nomadix. "Better bandwidth control also allows hotels to more efficiently manage their tiered affinity guest programs that offer higher bandwidth access to premium users."
Nomadix offers two key products to address these bandwidth challenges. The AG 5800 is a high-performance access gateway that enables a fast, seamless extension of a wired or Wi-Fi network to create a secure, public Internet access network. The Nomadix Internet Traffic Optimizer (NITO) is a powerful appliance designed to boost existing bandwidth that also offers insight for intelligent bandwidth management/allocation and has extensive reporting capabilities. When paired together, the AG 5800 and NITO ensure fair and fast bandwidth for public access to keep Internet traffic flowing, leading to an improved user experience.
As a leading IT solutions provider and Nomadix partner, MCOM is noted for their expertise in integrating technology products for the hospitality industry, offering hotels a complete solution. Commented Dimitris Petinos, VP marketing & international sales at MCOM, "The AG 5800 and NITO products from Nomadix enable hotels to first gain insight into how the network is being used, then throttle traffic accordingly to ensure that all users get fair, quality access through a secure network that can efficiently adapt to each mobile device. These products are seamlessly integrated in our HOTstream Internet solution offering support for multiple portals, last name/room number login, device roaming, in-room silent login, multiple devices per ticket and many other advanced HSIA features."

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Who are you? How do you introduce yourself? Do you use a name, or do you greet a friend by the last four digits of his social security number? Assuming you don't, why are we content to associate our identity with 10 random digits assigned by our phone company? Identity is an issue that affects everyone, but as individuals we don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ben Klang, Founder & President of Mojo Lingo, will discuss the impact of technology on identity. Should we federate, or not? How should identity be secured?

Doku Umarov's father killed in Chechnya
Khamad Umarov, 74, father of Doku Umarov, leader of Chechen separatists, was killed. According to one of militants' Internet web sites, Umarov's father was kidnapped back on May 5, 2005, by the employees of the "Oil Regiment" headed by Adam Demilkhanov.
It is reported that representatives of the Russian party have addressed separatists through intermediaries asking them to show Khamad Umarov's tomb.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported earlier that in May 2005, Doku Umarov's father, then 70, wife and a baby of six months old were kidnapped in Chechnya. On August 12, 2005, Natalia Khumaidova, Umarov's sister, was kidnapped in the southwest of Chechnya by armed persons in camouflage. Some months earlier, his brother Ruslan Umarov, 43, father of four children, was captured and taken away by unknown armed persons. In 2003 and 2004, Doku Umarov's cousin Zaurbek and nephew Roman Ataev were kidnapped. According to separatists, all the kidnapped persons were put into Ramzan Kadyrov's personal prison Hosi-Yurt village.

Christopher Alexander (born October 4, 1936 in Vienna, Austria) is an architect noted for his theories about design, and for more than 200 building projects in California, Japan, Mexico and around the world. Reasoning that users know more about the buildings they need than any architect could, he produced and validated (in collaboration with Sarah Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein) a "pattern language" designed to empower any human being to design and build at any scale. Alexander was a licensed contractor and architect in England. In 1958 he moved to the United States, and has lived in Berkeley, California from 1963 until the present. He is professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can not fool all the people all of the time. Attributed to Abraham Lincoln. Alexander K. McClure, 'Abe' Lincoln's Yarns and Stories, p. 184 (1904). Many quotation books have also attributed this to Lincoln, with a variety of sources given. According to Roy R Basler ed., The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, vol. 3, p. 81 (1953), 'Tradition has come to attribute to the Clinton [Illinois] speeches [September 2, 1858] one of Lincoln's most famous utterances You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.' But he goes on to say that the epigram and any references to it have not been located in Surviving Lincoln documents. This remark has also been attributed to P. T. Barnum.

Workers should have the right to vote
October 12, 2009 at 8:57 am | Mobile Reader | Print
That bills sole purpose is to provide unions greater leverage in labor/management relations. And while the health care issue has understandably dominated the publics attention, you should keep an eye on this issue, too.
Lately, the debate over health care has pushed virtually everything else in Congress to the back burners.
Nevertheless, unions and their allies in Congress want to force a vote on their bill. Last week, Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee chairman, Sen. Tom Harkin (D – Iowa), said that he was still hoping to bring the bill up for a vote this fall. However, the unions have to clear a significant hurdle first. They must secure 60 votes from among the countrys 100 senators to avoid a guaranteed filibuster by opponents.
All 40 Republican senators are against this bill, which means that all 60 Democratic senators are needed to invoke cloture to prevent the filibuster. While most of the Democrats would vote to do this, a number of moderate Democratic senators have not signed onto this bill, including Louisianas Sen. Mary Landrieu. Her reluctance is understandable–and commendable.
S. 560 was named the Employee Free Choice Act by its authors, but it is more commonly referred to as card check because it would essentially eliminate secret ballot elections and replace them with an open card registration procedure known as card check. Existing law allows workers to hear both sides–as they would in an election campaign–and then to privately decide in a voting booth whether they want union representation. S. 560 seeks to change the rules for union organizing campaigns so that workers only get the unions side of the story.
Currently, unions wanting to obtain bargaining rights hire organizers to solicit workers signatures on cards authorizing a union certification election. If 30 percent of the workers sign the cards, the union can petition the National Labor Relations Board to conduct an election, which it supervises to assure that neither the employer nor the union intimidates the workers.
Many workers are not interested in being represented by a union, but will sign the cards so organizers will leave them alone. When the election is held, they then vote against unionization. That is why the standard goal of organizing campaigns is to collect signatures from 75 percent of workers. Unions will always choose card check because they already collect more than a majority of signatures anyway.
So, S. 560 would effectively eliminate the secret ballot election procedure.
The inability of union leaders to secure outright support for S. 560 from Sen. Landrieu and other moderate Democratic senators like her has prompted Sen. Harkin and a handful of other supportive senators to attempt to develop an alternative approach to overcome their reluctance. Yet, the only alternative that would satisfy union leaders will be one that rigs the game and keeps workers from getting the full story before deciding to allow a union in their workplace.
The existing law is fair and protects workers from being unduly pressured by their employers or union organizers. S. 560 was not brought by a host of workers begging to have the law changed, but by union leaders who see their membership sinking as workers find unions less relevant and beneficial in todays economy. Senator Landrieu would be wise not to support cloture on this bill or on any variation of it that the union leadership would support.

How to keep fine hair tidy all day at school
Started by cherubcheeks , Nov 12 2012 05:26 PM
22 replies to this topic
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:26 PM
Hi all
I am going mad trying to keep my DD's hair looking tidy all day.
She has quite fine hair, so it easily slips out of hair ties. If she goes off to school with a pony, by the time I pick her up, half her hair is falling down around her face.
Any tips or styles to keep her hair looking tidy for the day?
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:30 PM
DD's school has hairbands in the school uniform fabric with elastic at the bottom. I've found this really useful in keeping DDs hair looking at least semi neat when it's in bunches or plaits. If your school doesn't run to that, a plain black lycra one would work just as well.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:31 PM
My DD's hair is exactly the same - looks messy almost as soon as I've finished doing it.
She's starting school next year so I'll be watching to see if anyone has any neat tricks (pardon the pun ).
The only things that sort of work for us are doing a half-up half-down and then pulling that back into a pony (even doing this three times IYKWIM) and also putting it up while wet and then lots of hairspray! We do this for ballet but not usually day-to-day.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:36 PM
If she doesn't have a fringe, try this: I grab the front middle section, pull it to one side and do a small plait, tied with one of those tiny coloured rubber band type hair ties. Then I pull it all back into a pony, including the plait which is to one side.
If I just do a pony without the plait, all the front tends to fall out around her face. And if the pony does fall out, at least the hair is not completely in her face as the plait stays in thanks to the tiny bands.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:43 PM
My daughters is the same I part the top half of hair into two pony tails on top of her head. Using the little snagless hairties from cheapie shops Plait each then make a pony tail put of bottom half of hair adding plaits into ponytail at back keeps it pretty tidy
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:44 PM
Use those really small elastics ( the size of a 10 cent coin ), they hold fine hair good and then you just cut it out if you can't slide it off each night as they are really cheap and are only used once
Posted 12 November 2012 - 05:54 PM
I have very fine hair as well, it can be really hard. Nowadays I keep my hair short so that I don't have to do much with it!
If that's not an option for your daughter (I know I wanted long hair at that age) then pigtail plaits work heaps better for me than pony tails.
Elastics without the metal join have been great for me, since my hair would always wrap itself around the metal part and get stuck in it.
Headbands are good, but I know when I was younger they gave me headaches, so soft fabric headbands that are the right size were the only ones I could really wear.
These types of hair clips also seem to work really well in my hair: http://www.diva.net.au/shop/hair/set-of-6-...hair-clips.html
Hope that helps!

Pigtail plaits, with the elastics without any metal in it (small size).
Light spray of hairspray can help too (and is says to be a nit prevention technique as well)
Posted 12 November 2012 - 06:12 PM
hairclips or bobby pins as well as the hair band.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 06:42 PM
Hair spray!! Also, if she can get away with it, don't wash it as often.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 07:33 PM
I have fine hair. As a kid I would wear it in ponytail or plait (sometimes one sometimes 2) mum bought me the bobble elastics so you only have to wrap the elastic around and then slip one ball over the other. I could fix it myself when i needed to or get one of my friends to do it (everyone wanted to be a hairdresser back then..lol) These days I still wear a ponytail and use the rubberised bobbypins for the sides.

DD3 has fine hair and I use all the techniques the others do but my main one is gel. Pull it back into a pony with lots of gel on top, good for nit protection and keeps it in place all day

Headbands and plaits. Also since we starting using a little bit of conditioner in her hair after washing, it's been a bit tidier.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 08:52 PM
One of my DDs has fine hair. Three styles are never fail for her:
Split with a centre part and two braids (fairly tight)
The fripont middle section (fringe plus a bit extra) in a little tail or plait with a tiny band and then sweep that tail into one pig tail (with a second pigtail on the other side)
Centre part with two little pigtails on top. Catch these pigtails in a second row of pigtails below and finish with the rest of the hair in a final row of pigtails.

My daughter also has very fine hair that looks ratty 5 minutes after doing it UNLESS I do as follows:
I ALWAYS do her hair when it's damp - if dry it's too flyaway. You need to use the tiny elastics similar to braces elastics. You can buy them in bags of 100 at most $2 type shops. If her hair is washed the night before plait it before bedtime. In the morning take out the plait and use a water spray bottle with some conditioner in it to dampen the hair before brushing.
For the school hair do - if she has wispy shorter hair at the front then do one smaller pony at the front (I usually side part a small section at the front and do a very small pony on one side) then a larger pony tail or pig tails at the back or sides. I always plait her pony or pig tails too. Put a regular coloured hair tie and/or ribbon over the smaller elastic one. Once done spray all over with hairspray. The plaiting and hair spraying also helps prevent lice.
It is worth investing in a good boar bristle brush that has the bristles very close together.

My young DD has flyaway fine hair thats always getting in her eyes.
I use a spray bottle with water to dampen as i brush it into pigtails or braids.
Hairspray if its going to be a long day or gel if swimming.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:27 PM
I do two braids, one on each side of her head and then work them into either a single plait or two pig tail plaits. I also dampen her hair before doing it each morning.
If I just pull it back into a pony she looks like a wild woman's dream by day's end.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:37 PM
I have baby fine hair and use most of the tricks already mentioned here.
- always do hair when still damp and after conditioning.
- I still do the centre part and pigtail plaits for a long day out.
- hair spray and bobby pins to help keep in place
- plait for bedtime and wash hair every morning

Easiest way to do a budge proof ponytail is to use.
Look up on Youtube how to do a ponytail with a rubberband - size 14 or 16 bought in bags at a stationary place, and two good quality bobby pinThe bobby pins are both on the band and one is pushed into the hair and then band is stretched around the ponytail and second pin placed in.
This is how I do hair and you get a tight non slip or snagged ponytail

My mum's method in dealing with my hair was to cut it short.. As long as you and your daughter don't mind all the comments about your 'son' I guess it's an option.. Not quite scarred for life on that one..
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:51 PM
I usually do DD8s hair in French plait, and then a quick squirt of hairspray. If she's having a particularly bad flyaway day I do a centre parting and do 2 French plaits.
If I haven't got time to do the plaits I do I do plaited pigtails.

That's what my parents did to me. I had (and still have) very fine soft hair and it would turn into a bird's nest if it was longer than a few inches. So I had a boy's haircut for years. No life long scarring here
Thank goodness DD's isn't quite as fine, her's will sort of stay in an elastic.

Queens of the Stone Age
God Is In the Radio
I thought I saw him on the video
A trance was keeping him under
I know that god is in the radio
Checking the station
The narcotic from me to you
Just a caught in the medium
I know you hear it, I do too
Its everywhere that I go
You come back another day
And you do no wrong
Come back another day
And do no wrong
They say the devil is paranoid
Always trying to cover
But god was leaking through the stereo
Between the station to station
You believe it I know you do
You wont admit or say so
I know that god is in the radio
Just repeating the slogan
You come back another day
And you do no wrong
Come back another day
And do no wrong

In this Save the Children campaign, fashion models are pranked into participating in a fictitious fashion TV commercial for a mystery brand.
The awkward moment comes when they are asked to say things like "1 out of every 7 children die before their fifth anniversary" in a sexy manner.
Obviously, it's an almost impossible, and very uncomfortable-making task. But the point is, we should be listening to unsexy messages, and Save The Children are right in titling the above clip 'The Most Important 'Sexy' Model Video Ever'.

25 Days of RollOuts: Komatsu D61EXi/PXi-23 intelligent machine control dozer
Komatsu America rolled out the D61EXi/PXi-23, its first intelligent machine control model in North America.
While crawler dozers have been able to perform high-precision finish grading after installing an add-on machine control system, the unit's fully automatic blade control allows it to perform rough dozing, as well as finish grading in automatic mode.
Customer selectable dozing modes allow system response to be tailored to the current machine operation for optimized performance.
A factory-installed cab top Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antenna, inertial measuring unit and stroke-sensing hydraulic cylinders replace the typical add-on machine control system components.
Komatsu's Komtrax fleet monitoring system helps prevent machine theft and allows the distributor to provide remote diagnosis, while Komatsu Care scheduled maintenance offers KDPF exchanges eat 4,500 hours and 9,000 hours in the first five years.

Utah Jazz: Blazers fight back to split weekend series with 105-99 win (+video)
PORTLAND, Ore. — So, when's the winner-takes-all Game 3 of this Utah Jazz-Portland Trail Blazers miniseries?
A night after beating the Blazers at EnergySolutions Arena, the Jazz were unable to sweep this unusual home-and-away, back-to-back set against Portland.
Sparked by Weber State product Damian Lillard's 23 points and eight assists, Portland returned the favor to Utah by splitting this series with a 105-99 win over Utah on Saturday night at the Rose Garden.
The Jazz, 86-77 winners Friday against the same squad, blew a 10-point third-quarter lead, then rallied back into it after falling behind by eight and made one last valiant comeback attempt in the final minute-and-a-half before Portland finally prevailed.
"It was tough, but I don't feel bad about it," Jazz center Al Jefferson said. "I think we played well enough to win the game, and things just didn't work out for us."
Utah didn't have three key backcourt players — as injuries kept Mo Williams (thumb surgery), Gordon Hayward (shoulder) and Earl Watson (leg) out — while losing for the first time following two home wins since Monday's 45-point loss.
The blow of this setback, however, was cushioned by the Jazz's effort, including 23 points from Randy Foye.
"I thought the guys played hard, being outmanned after playing the game last night. I thought we played hard," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "We made some mistakes. We got the 10-point lead and we got away from executing a little bit there. They made a run on us. I felt good about our opportunity to come back. We just couldn't get over it."
That didn't sit well with DeMarre Carroll.
"We were in the game the whole time. I think we just had a couple of mental mistakes," he said. "We were up by 10, and we should have stepped on their throat when we had the chance."
This one didn't mirror Friday's defensive slugfest, but it was an equally entertaining game, which included several rallies and wasn't decided until the home team pulled it out in the final minute.
Lillard, the reigning Western Conference rookie of the month, played a big role in helping Portland turn things around for good in the fourth quarter. The 6-2 guard hit a trey and sank a pair of free throws in an 11-4 Blazer run as Portland re-established a seven-point lead.
"I think he's continuing to grow every night he steps on the floor," Corbin said of Lillard, who scored a game-high 26 in Utah's win Friday. "He looked good for them."
All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge made it an eight-point Portland advantage with a turnaround shot with 1:33 remaining. But then Utah made it interesting again, cutting the lead to 99-96 after Foye's final 3-pointer with 33.9 to go.
J.J. Hickson hit two free throws with 19.9 seconds remaining — on a play Marvin Williams thought should have been a steal rather than a foul — and added two more with 14.5 remaining to secure the split.
About that third game?
It didn't doesn't actually happen until March 29 at the Rose Garden. The two teams even have a fourth date set for April 1 (no joke) in Utah.
While that's usually considered a quick turnaround to play the same team in the regular season, at least they'll get a couple days in between.
"It's a tough thing, but it's just part of the league," Corbin said of this weekend's scheduling quirk, the second of the season for Utah. "You just have to try and weather the storm."

"we were there for a week, house suited our needs very well. The kids felt right at home. Nice porch ad yard as well. Close to a bowling alley, and the kids loved that!"Guest: Lance L. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 23, 2015View listing
"My family stayed a week in this beautiful home. 5 of us loved to lay out by the pool and take in the sun. Every room has its own TV. We had so much room we could have fit many more people in with us. We found a wasp nest out by the pool, I called and they had someone come out within the hour to take care of it. It is a quick drive to the parking structure at the parks because the walk was a bit too much for us. Grocery stores (Walmart and Costco) very close by. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a great place to vacation and relax when not busy at the parks."Guest: Adrianna Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 10, 2015View listing
