Going from dark to blonde hair!
I am going from dark to blonde also (like platinum) I am about 1/2 was there now but my hair is also very dry because of it. I was told to use deep conditioners and hot oil treatments once a week. Good luck!
I actually have naturally black hair and manage to dye it to bright platnium without damaging it.
I have a few videos on hair care products etc,
my channel is
Check it out, you might find it helpful xx
I had dark brown dyed hair and had highlights on it twice and it ruined my hair, if you sleep with conditioner on 2/3 times a week it should put moisture back into it
Yes, you are right. If you sleep with conditioner on 2/3 times a wek it will put moisture back into it
dear fellow member
i used aussie miracle its not cheap about £5 a bottle in the Uk but cannot ask for better unless you wish to be bald please use this try ebay if they dont have it where you live
HI. i've tried taking the colour out of my hair with colour b4 but when i then re dye it a brown colour it automatically goes black. i've since used colour b4 the other day and will use it again this weekend. i now have a dark blond dye that i'm going to put in when i take the colour out. has anyone tried this and if so,, what was the result?????? cheers.
I read your post on sofeminine.co.uk, and I think Tony & Guy are right. You should not have anymore highlights put in. Or, your hair will be damaged. Or, perjhaps break off. The best conditioner I use is Cholesterol Deep Conditioning Cream by Queen Helene once a week, and any Pantene Pro-V treatments conditioners daily. I hope this helps. Let me know how it turns out. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
I was a natural dark brunette.who went from Brown to blonde about 10 years ago.Have a look on the colour shelves or conditioners in SDs and you will find the conditioners that come with the packet hair colours like recital available separately to buy.
I find these very good indeed !! Obviously a regular cut helps...
ive been dying my hair blue black for the past 5 years, until recently when i decided to go blonde! i started off with a full head of foils but they went yellow/orange because i had layers of black colouring in it, especially on my ends as i have long hair! i couldnt afford to keep getting full heads so i went to a different salon and got a bleach bath, then the hairdresser put blonde dye in it. for a few days after that my hair was really fragile and dry on the ends, but i brought a shwartzcopf leave in conditioner (make sure it restores dry/damaged hair) and i also use a purple shampoo by DeLorenzo Novo silver toner 3 times a week..i leave it in for about 20 mins and it gave me an amazing colour! and as for my damaged hair..i use an RPR conditioner for dry, damaged, bleached, and chemically treated hair. i leave it in for about 5 mins and my hair is amazingly soft and smooth, people can neva tell that ive put my through so much stress (with the bleach baths and everything) because my hairs in really good condition. its just the 1st few days after dying it that its a bit dry. goodluck with your hair & i hope this helps!
you should have had your hair stripped of colour first.your hair need not have been damadged. seek advice first at a respectable hair dressers.you need to prepare your hair before you change the balance. bleach bath is not the way foeward. xx
Yes, I have gone from dark to blonde hairs. I lightened my hairs to blonde. I used <a ="http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/clairol-born-blonde-lightener_ 1_27456.html">Clairol Born Blonde Lightener</a>. Clairol is really effective and contains a rich blend of conditioners that protect my hair leaving it silky, soft and easy to manage.
Hi there, im new to the forum and i came across your post.
I myself have experianced this alot!
My mum is my hairdresser and it totaly isnt your hairdresses fault! It's down to your hair, How dark were you brown, Black?? Your hair takes a while for it to take lighter and due to u putting so much bleach on it and lifting serium it's bound to go dry (trust me) lol.
The best thing for you to do is to leave it a couple of month and do conditioning treatments on it either 2 r 3 times a week.
I personaly just use any conditioner doesnt matter.
What you need to do is when your in the shower put your conditioner on as normal and leave it on,or if u dont wont ur hair to be too wet dry it with a towel and then apply the conditoner but whatever you do apply it when it is wet lol or it will not have an affect.
After doing this comb through it and leave it on all night then wash it off the following day you should see it feels much softer. When u start washing the conditioner off dont worry about putting shampoo on again just rinse ur conditioner out.
When straightening your hair just be carfull and use heat protection it doesnt really matter about the name of the poduct they all do the same thing.
If your still considering going more blonde leave it and keep repeating this for a month or two then gradualy build up =]
I have got impatient before when i wonted to go lighter and my hair broke off =]
Good luck x
I'm a 16 year old teenage girl.
This might sound shocking but i have also had the same problem with straighteners.
I kept using them too much and it sindged all my hair.
i went to the hair dressers and they also said it was in bad condition. So, i would advise that when using a hair straightener, use a hair protection spray. It will protect the hair from the heat. I use Tresamay hair products. (there the best). & it worked. my hair is not sindged Or anythink.
& also when you straighten your hair Turn them down so there not on such a hot heat.
hey yeh i have gone from dark very dark to blonde and i think it took maybe 6 months it takes along time but tony and guy are right u should never bleach ends of hair again unless hair is in healthy condition, hairdresser will tell you if it is in a good condition. Its a very long process going from dark to blonde but over time it will look great it will look not so great if you do not straighten it in between having the bleach done, as long as you spray on a thermal protectant on your hair before you blow dry and straighten your hair also what i found was amazing which made my hair really healthy was using de lorenzo instant reconstructant great stuff!!! i would spray that on every time i washed my hair . ps i am a hair dresser and when i was going lighter i think i got my hair foils almost every 3 weeks sumtimes 3 - 4 but i never got tips there to risky and very hard not to get bleach on the already blonde ends , foils take alot longer but there much more better for your hair and they will get closer to the roots if you get the right hairdresser. hope this helps!! treatments also are a must!
I have dark brown hair..
3 years ago i died it to a very light blonde.
Heres a tip when getting your hair died get a tint with a touch of silver added & only have foils every second time you visit the hairdresser this will help with your hair being dry, and give the hair time to recover..
My hair was like straw it was snapping off it was hideous!!! The best product is VITA 5 shampoo & conditioner & VITA 5 CPR phase 1. If it is too expensive opt for the CPR it retails at about $20.00 AUD a bottle and you only need a very small amount. I guarantte you if you use CPR every time you wash your hair you will have healthy hair in no time..
I also straightenede my hair as well, i use to wash then blowdry then straighten!!! If you have highly died hair & its dry, never blowdry then straighten. Wash your hair put CPR Phase one in it chuck it in a ponytail to prevent it knotting whilst you are a sleep and straighten in the morning....
Make sure you only get foils every second visit & go and buy VITA 5 CPR Phase1. My hair got to the point where my hairdresser wasnt going to touch it now its back to its healthy shinny state.
i found a great website;
http://www.hairstylepro.com.au/vita-257/vita-5-frizzy-hair-260/cpr-phase-1-creme-150ml-986.ht ml
my 1st hairdresser struggled using highlights and tint etc etc... each time i went i ask for lighter but each time disappointed. hair was orange or yellow
then my ex said go to his friends salon cos ther good.... in kendal lakes district tho
omg i was transformed... now ppl at work calls me blondie, theyr convinced im natural blonde. im chinese but everyone now think im from sweden or poland lol
all they did was put the special bleach which is CONDITIONING my hair actualy felt better condition...then they put a toner on to take the yellow away...
i had full head not highlight
i can try post b4 and after pics you will be amazed
they are fantastic so it worth visiting them... expensive tho... £100 each month or so but worth it
however ask them not to put toner on the ends each time as this has dried and even broke my hair... note this is result from the stupid 1st hairdresser... she put that much stuff on but the roots of my hair is good condition...
i went back to highlights //she put some lowlights ...last visit but i miss the platinum blonde so i am hoping i go back to what i been having for last year...but only toner on the roots each time
if you want thier number contact me but only if you live local or nearby
seriously i went from black to baby blonde!
Being a hirdresser myself i would never recommend having highlights in a short space of time.
You should give it at at least 6weeks before you have anymore highlights especially if you are going from dark to blonde.
My hair was black and i now have it light blonde. To get it this way it took me around 6 months as i would let my hair settle before i had my next set of highlights done. This is why my hair is in such good condition. People think this is my real hair colour!!
I also used 'S Factor' hair products which are made by Bed Head.
Their products are expensive but you will see why when you use it.
Hope this helps
hey i have very very dark hair and am now blonde
what i did is used just a normal bottle of blonde dye from the shops over my hair to lighten it, it only lightened it abit, so then i used a 2nd bottle, so its slightly lighter. then you need to use a deep conditioner for your hair as it gets really dry you can get this from beauty stores like sallys. then i went and brought my self a bottle of peroxide and BW2 Clairol Bleaching Powder - i got told its the best for dark hair to blonde - you'll need someone to help you apply it as you have to do the whole tinfoil thing. keep checking it till its ready wash it of use products like shimmer lights shampoo to help tonn your hair. also to stop breakage and dryness use another deep conditionering
and that should do it long process but its a good result and quicker as highlights take forever! xx
i know it seems almost impossibe to not straighten your hair but you can make ur hair straight without a straightner just on the days you dont really need to straighten it by doing the following
using quality shampoos and conditioner
i recomend a sukin conditioner its made in australia all its ingrediants are extracted from plants and it gives your hair a more healtheir and use a conditioner that is specially for damaged died blonde hair i use the sunsilk one
it would pay to go to a hair dresser to get hair restoritive spray it wil set you back about $20 you use it after you wash your hair you towel dry your hair lightly then spray wait 10 minuted then rinse thoughroughly making sure you part your hair in different places as you spray fro root to tip
wen ur using your hair dryer face it down on your hair by holding it above your head it will make your hair str8 also use another treseme spray the purple top you out it in before using the hair dryer and to make your tios appear less damaged the purple lable resoritive str8nong gel duz the truck
i am dark haired and me and my friend really want to go blond soo badlly !!
do you advise a iferent way as you sed thta ruind your hair
.. as for the conditionars .. i find to keep my hair silky is MARK HILL
they are the best for me

That sex was the most fun I'd had without laughing
Yes I am a bad person, I completely emphasis with Woody Allens character Alyy Singer. So for any of you have watched Annie Hall you will probably stop following me right about now :). Anyway for those who haven't I have to say Annie Hall is one of my favourite films ever, the humour is is delivered perfectly, the storyline is realistic but not boring and Diane Keaton's costume is superb too. She's been dressed as a kind of tom boy, strong figure but you kinda realise she's not she's just a bit dizzy, until she finally finishes with Alyy she's more stronger and has realised who she is, but the thing is she's dressed in a floaty feminine dress and is wearing make up the complete opposite to her character I suppose this is meant to be irony and is meant to reflect how she's living in California.

Corona's latest offer: I'll resign but I keep everything I have
I find the revelations of Chief Justice Renato Corona of the meetings that he had with President Aquino and other administration stalwarts very interesting. I just wish that he tells the complete story and not just be selective in his sharing with the public.
I also expect the same from Malacañang.
Corona disclosed the proposal of administration ally Sen. Teofisto Guingona for a term sharing with Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, which Guingona denies.
He should also disclose his counter-offers especially the latest ,made through a retired associate justice , that he was willing to resign on condition that he would keep everything that he owns now.
What Corona has only disclosed were his meetings with President Aquino and the Guingonas, father and son.
The Aquino-Corona meeting has been confirmed by Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda. It took place in July 2010, a few weeks after the latter was sworn into office by Associate Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales, in the house of the President's sister, Pinky Abellada.
It's only now that we are learning that despite the inaugural snub, Aquino met with Corona in private. Corona said Aquino was not friendly with him during the meeting which was arranged by former Associate Justice Antonio Nachura, a member of the Liberal Party, the administration party.
Corona said Aquino talked to him about the Truth Commission that he was creating to investigate "some personalities." Gloria Arroyo. He said he advised Aquino that the Commission should not target specific personalities which Aquino didn't heed because it specified in his Executive Order graft and corruption under the Arroyo administration.
As expected, the Corona Court declared the Truth Commission unconstitutional.
Lacierda disputed Corona's version of the lunch meeting saying that the President just asked Corona if they can expect fairness from him. Corona, according to Lacierda, assured them, "We will render decisions based on fairness and legal precepts."
The meeting with the Guingonas took place late last year before the House of Representatives impeached the Chief Justice in December. It was held in the older Guingona's residence in New Manila, Quezon City.
Corona was Sen. TG's professor in Ateneo law School while the chief justice former senator Teofisto Guingona, Jr were both members of the Ramos cabinet.
Corona, who is retiring on Oct. 14, 2018, says Sen. TG raised the idea of his term-sharing with Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, who is retiring on Oct. 25, 2019.
Corona said he rejected the idea right away because it was not "legally possible" as he was appointed to a specific term.
He said the younger Guingona immediately dropped the subject.
Sen. TG denies ever having raised the idea of term sharing and said the conversation was just, "a hi, hello, how are you."
At the start of the impeachment trial, Corona said he will not give Aquino the pleasure of his resignation.
That was before Enriqueta Vidal, the SC clerk of court, turned over to the impeachment court the chief justice's Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Networth.
That was before documents of his bank deposits submitted as evidence in the impeachment court showed huge amounts that were not reported in his SALN.
Reliable sources said even as Corona was going on an offensive, he has asked another retired SC justice (not Nachura)to relay a message to Malacañang that we might consider resigning if he would be allowed to name his successor. Malacañang, we were told, said "No way."
Corona's latest offer, our source said, was he is willing to resign on condition that he keeps everything that he has now.
It's still "No way" from Malacañang.
Ano siya, sinuswerte?

This deplorable persona must resign. He must have the courage to admit that he has no business sitting as Supreme Court chief justice. We've just about had it with his vaudeville show. He is not an elected official and therefore has no right to act as if he were a politician.
The earlier he leaves the judiciary, the better it will be for the Philippines. He and his patron, Her Pandakship, Gloria Macapagal, have crapped on the Philippines more than the county could bear. Time for him to retire and to face the music.

This guy wants his cake and eats it too!

Granting the senate acquits him, Pnoy will run after every penny he illegally obtained. Walang lusot si Corona!
He had all the opportunity to resign but he gambled. Akala kasi niya hindi lalabas yung SALN niya and all his bank acounts wont be uncovered. Well, he is DEAD WRONG! Ganyan talaga kung mandurugas ka, may katapusan din. I have no sympathy for this man who enriched himself and has so much arrogance! Tignan natin kung hanggang saan yung "rule of law" na sinasabi ng lahat ng kanyang mga abogado.
parasabayan - March 12, 2012 2:46 am
The comments of the Basa family burried him even more! Kung sakali man at maging bulag ang walong senators and Corona get acquitted, Corona will be an "inutil" Chief Justice. He will be hounded left and right on the abuses he did over the years.

Either saksakan ka ng bobo or you are so desperate you want to run with the loot just because you said "mea culpa".
Akala ko ba sabi mo noong umpisa ng impeachment, "lahat nang makita niyong akala niyo ay sa akin ay sa inyo na"! Well guess what…….that is going to happen anytime soon !
Tell you what,….how about you resign, plead guilty, get to be Gen Garcia's cellmate at Muntinglupa, and you also get nothing !! How about that, Mr. Midnight Appointee ? Akala mo siguro umu-ulan pa rin ng suwerte ano !!

Pag dating sa pera ay wise si CJ biro mo kung totoo ang hiling niya na " I Keep Everything I Have" ay ibig sabihin nito ay ang perang naka tago sa bangko na natuklasan ay di talaga galing sa asawa niya na galing sa Basa clan. Bakit niya sasabihin na " I keep Everyhing". Kung nakalusot ang hiling niya ay talo na naman ang bansa natin.

This guy the Thief Justice has no delikadesa in the first place, kaya kahit lahat ng nakulimbat nya ay gusto nya mapasakanya. He thought he was above the law.
It gives meaning to the phrase "Hudlums in Robes" ganon ang kanilang Thief Justice Renato Corona.
I'm awaiting the day that he will be stripped off his title as CJ, because he is a Big Disgrace sa Supreme Court.

Karamihan dito nakapagpasya na.
I am still willing to listen to the defense evidence. There may be a genuine explanation of the wealth; or it could be mere palusot. But I will give the matter not Corona, the opportunity.
I choose to do this, not because Corona deserves it, but in order to give the system a chance. We have been attempting to build institutions since 1898. That system requires that we allow the decision-maker to render a decision. In this case, the Constitution reposed the decision-making in the Senate.
Kung makikialam, and we kibbitz, that means we do not trust the people we put in office. Para que pang nag-election? The people trust Noy more than the senators? Fine. Then amend the Constitution and put the decision-making power in the Executive. But what if we have another Goyang? Oops, then amend the Constitution again, and locate the power back in the Senate.
See the yo-yo effect when we trust people instead of building systems and trusting systems?
Pero malakas daw ang clamor. The surveys and all, attest to that.
Do we trust the noisy people more than the ballot? Di ba galing na tayo diyan? The ballot chose Erap. The noisy people chose Goyang.
The rest, as the say, is infamy.
The ballot (ratification) gave the decision-making power to the Senate. The ballot also chose the current senators. The ballot did choose Noy, but for a different power.
So shut up muna kayo, Noy, Lacierda, Valte, at ang mga magagaling na maiingay.

of course with the above convincing argument of saxnviolin, the process must be undertaken…even if we the observers ont the side already made up our own judgement…
At this very instance..a jury trial of a murder of an 8 year old 3 years ago in ongoing in the court in Ontario…the partner in the crime already pleaded guilty to the crime of 1st degree murder and it is automatic life sentence and she will be a crown witness against her boyfriend accused of rape, abduction and murder in 1st degree..the trial is expected to last 3 months and the lawyer representing th accused is telling the public not to rush to judgement as the truth to the case will be unravelled during the Trial…and the whole country still willing to hear the evidence of the gruesome murder of an 8 year in her first Solo walk home from School..

Siguro SNV, paki sabihan din si Chief to shut up!
parasabayan - March 13, 2012 1:28 am
SNV, I was with you on listening first but I am amazed at how Corona amassed those miliions baka billions pa if his dollar accounts are included! Mas magaling pa siyang kumita kesa sa mga politikong magnanakaw! I am also appalled on the things he allegedly did to the family of his wife. Naging bully siya ni Tina! Is this how a Chief Justice should be?
Although it is true that maybe at the beginning the prosecution did not really have all the documents ready and had not solidly put the articles together, the uncovered loot, undeclared assets and now all these revelations of his conduct to the Basa family makes me believe that Corona is not really fit to be the chief magistrate. Kung haka haka lang, that is different. But all the bank accounts (in peso at least) were uncovered. The nun relative of the wife has come out to tell the world how they were treated by Corona. Now these are damaging information. If you tell me to listen to the hearings to way the other side before forming my mind on his guilt, medyo malabo na. The overwhelming evidences buried Corona alive!

Moreover, Tiongco, the first witness seemed to be doing the act because he did not get his pork barrel on time! DUH! Sana hindi na lang nila siya ginamit na witness. He hurt Corona's case more than it helped.

Renato Corona is a party, so like the witnesses of Tupas, he knows the facts.
Pero mabuti na rin nga.
Renato, shut up. Let your witnesses do the talking. Kung gusto mo, you can talk on the witness stand.

The issue in an impeachment involves acts or omissions by the Respondent, as an official. It never is about character. There is no case, whether criminal, civil, administrative, or even student discipline, which is about character. That is how you know that Tupas has no litigation experience.
The only basis for any decision is whether or not the acts or omissions alleged have been proven – SALN, etc; and whether or not they amount to (1) culpable violation of the Constitution, 2) high crimes, or (3) betrayal of public trust (Bernas says, while in the performance of duty, in other words, while rendering a decision).
Pang show biz yang rebuttal evidence ni Tupas.
He talks about some incident in 1983, about Corona's gun-toting. The year 1983? Teenager pa si Tupas noon. How is that germane to acts or omissions that occurred more than twenty years later?
So ano ang purpose ng mga pagpuputak sa media? Show biz lang? Showbiz nga naman ang commentarista – yung LVN (Lacierda, Valte, Noy).
Sa nakatatanda, LVN pictures was the MGM of the Philippines, noong panahon nila Susan Roces.

Sax, I do not have a legal background but I know how to judge character. If indeed Corona did these things the Basa family alleges, wala pa siya noon sa pwestong mataas. How much more now that he has the highest judicial position? Halos kasing taas ni Pnoy and position niya. Corona has to be HOLLIER THAN THOU to be the final judge on the crimes of the people. But if he himself have had criminal acts and were not caught then, he then became a MONSTER later. Dahil marunong siya ng pasikot sikot ng legal system, nakakalusot siya palagi. I hope the senator-judges should be more discerning. Panahon na para hindi na lulusot itong si Corona through the so-called judicial system. Kahit na mamatay tao ay napapawalang sala dahil kaya niyang kumuha ng magaling na abogado na nababayaran ng TOP money. Panahon na para huwag namang pera pera lang ang labanan.

juggernaut - March 13, 2012 9:31 am
Lets get rid of Corona and jail Arroyo first, then we tackle the system. The senators should also look at the impeachment experience as "in aid of legislation" and come up with measures to improve the system.
We don't have to tie our hands and allow these jokers to slip through our hands just for the sake of respecting the system, we make sure we win inspite of the system and if that necessitates being maingay then so be it.
We need to win this, otherwise, apathy will creep in again like what happened in Gloria's time. She and her cohorts managed to reign supreme using all the tricks to manipulate the system with impunity to the point that the people accepted the helplessness, the futility of hoping for changes.
If we need to start all over again, then lets start, the important thing is never to lose that fire in our belly, the passion, the desire for change – never substitute that with the legalese, comfort zone, learned helplessness – we have to chart our own destiny.
We showed the world that democracy works, that people power is a force to recon with when superpowers like the US are crippled by policies dictated by the affluent and influential 1%.
We need not copy from our seatmates anymore, we come up with answers of our own.
juggernaut - March 13, 2012 9:38 am
If Corona opens up to the public, then Malacanang should answer, why gag anybody and who are we to gag anybody? Who died and made us infallible wise guys?
Let the leaders do their job, for inspite of how stupid we say they are they have achieved what we cannot do in 10 lifetimes.
Lets look at Tupas, why, can we do better that what he achieved in his lifetime so far? Have we won an election? Do we have even half the number of people who believe in him, how about a quarter, 2%? So can we say mas magaling pa tayo sa kanya? How many people will vouch for us that mas magaling pa tayo? Think again.

Pasensya na, curious ako sa feature ng mga tao o auras na syang may kinalaman sa kaugalian at pagkatao..Tingnan nyo ang korte, hugis ng mga mata nila, CJ-Corona at Cong. Tiongco, may mga "aura" na similarities. Ibig sabihin may mga itinatagong mga " motibo ", sa buhay, na laging gagamit ng tao o sitwasyon para sa kanilang kapakanan.."Stepping other people or situations for their own glory or good". Then after, bahala na kayo y sila !..even at the mannerism or gestures, e.g…always have meanings..on the record, nag-pauna pa, ngunit, halata ang motibo, its all about, "Pork Barrels"…tsktsktsk..

Aminin natin – walang paraang ayon sa batas upang mapatunayan ang lahat ng kasalanan ni Renato Corona tungo sa pagpapatalsik sa kanya. Bawat hakbang ng prosekyusyon ay tatapatan ng kanyang mga tagapagtanggol ng kontra hakbang sukdulang baluktutin ang tuwid at ituwid ang baluktot upang pagtakpan ang anuman o lahat ng anomalyang bumabalot sa pagkakatalaga sa kanya bilang punong mahistrado gayundin ang pagtatago niya ng kanyang yaman. 'Yan ngang pagdadakdak niya sa press siguradong meron silang "magandang" dahilan.
Sa pagiging malambot naman ng mga senador-huwes sa panig ng depensa samantalang walang pakundangan ang panghihiya sa prosekyusyon, maliwanag na walang aasahan ang publiko sapagkat hayagan ang kanilang pagiging magkakakontrang sangga. Pagtanaw ng utang na loob pa rin ang mangingibabaw kaya bandang huli ay samasama silang hahalakhak sa galak. Si Juan ay muling maiiwan sa isang sulok at mangangarap ng pagsilang ng mamumunong uunahin ang kanyang kapakanan sapagkat sa kasalukuyang panahon ay mabibilang ang mga lingkod bayang ang PINANGINGIBABAW at INUUNA ay ang marangal at walang bahid pag-iimbot na pagseserbisyo. Kasabihan ngang pabalbal – ang mga nagpapakabayani ay 'yun lamang nagpapabaril sa plasa.
Subukang alisin 'yang pork barrel allocation ng mga pulitiko at tingnan natin kung meron pang kakandidatong mapapatayan para lamang manalo.

bilib na sana ako sa ex-president sa pagnanakaw ng pera ng bayan. ang kaso hindi papala siya kuntento humabol pa ng congresista ayaw talaga iwanan ang power, sure ako gusto pa niyang maging speaker of the house para may chance siyang maging presidente ulit. biro nyo no. 3 na agad sya para maging president ulit, pag namatay nga naman ang president at vice president sino ang uupo bilang president diba ang speaker of the house kaya yon ang target ni GMA kaya niya inalagaan ang mga GENERAL at mga JUSTICES para kung sakali may mga matitibay na siyang poste. ang problema giniba muna ni pinoy ang mga poste niya. kaya good luck GMA na makalusot itong CORONA mo at maagaw mo ang pwesto ni Cong. Belmonte para matupad ang plano mo.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Health Center
'Economy Class Syndrome' Back in the News
A famous recent episode occurred in 1994 when former Vice President Dan Quayle developed a leg clot that traveled to his lung soon after a series of airplane trips. And researchers from the Hospital Pasteur in Nice, France, have reported that travelers who sit for more than five hours on planes are more than four times as likely to develop blood clots in their leg than nontravelers
In London, at least 30 people have died of blood clots in the past three years after arriving from lengthy flights at London's Heathrow Airport, according to a study conducted at Ashford Hospital in southeast England. Just this past October, newspapers reported that a 28-year-old women flying from Sydney to London developed DVT and collapsed and died after reaching Heathrow.
"In patients prone to circulatory problems, when they lie still for extended periods of time, [long-haul flights] don't help, but there is no reason for the average person to be concerned about this," says Louis D. Fiore, MD, an assistant professor at Boston University School of Medicine and School of Public Health and the chief of oncology at the VA Boston Health Care System.
People at high risk for DVT include people with varicose veins or cancer, smokers, individuals with history of leg clots, leg or pelvic surgery or a leg injury, pregnant women, women taking birth control pills and hormone-replacement therapy, overweight individuals, elderly people, and very tall people.
Warning signs include a warm or hardened area in the lower extremity, aching legs, pins-and-needles sensations, and problems bearing weight on the legs. If the clot moves to the lungs, chest pain is often a sign, as is shortness of breath.
Ways to prevent DVT while flying include:
- Your blood becomes thicker when you are dehydrated, increasing risk of clots. So try to drink an 8-ounce glass of water every two hours when flying and avoid alcohol and coffee, as they are dehydrating.
- Try compression hose. They are available over the counter at surgical supply stores and cost about $15 per pair. Even better are tailor-made support hose, made based on a person's leg measurements. Such support hose work by keeping blood flowing and preventing pooling of stagnant blood.
- Book a seat in an exit row, a bulkhead seat, or an aisle seat.
- Walk up and down the aisle about once an hour.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing.
- Don't smoke.
- While in your seat, contract your calf muscles from time to time by clenching your toes. Another exercise, suggested by British Airways: Bend your foot upward, spread your toes, and hold for three seconds -- then point your foot down, clench your toes, and hold for three seconds.
- People at high risk of blood clots should ask their doctors whether to take aspirin before flying to inhibit blood clotting.
- Don't cross your legs or sit on the edge of your seat, since these positions can reduce blood flow in your legs.

It's been a long time coming for Holt High School senior Sarah Scott.
It's hard. It's hard out there," said Scott. "I'm glad it's my last year of high school."
Six years ago, along with 549 other 6th grade students from the Lansing School District and area charter schools, Sarah was named a H.O.P.E. scholar. If she graduates from high school next year, she'll be able to attend Lansing Community College for two years for free. Along with other hopeful graduates, Sarah met with LCC counselors Wednesday to discuss the degree programs and financial aid.
Local businesses, along with LCC, Michigan State University, and the Lansing Police Department among others, chose students who are in the greatest need and would benefit the most.
"It really is a matter of putting the future in front of them, showing them what that future is. Get the kids to reach for it," said Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero.
Since taking over, Lansing Schools Superintendent T.C. Wallace says his staff hasn't seen statistics of students dropping out of the scholarship program. He added he's anxious to see the results and that he's reasonably optimistic.
"The numbers and what they may show-- we just don't know," said Dr. Wallace. "But when you look at an activity like this, you see the youngsters participating, you see the parents and the grand parents...that in and of itself is a measure of success."
There are currently 2,200 H.O.P.E. scholars. Dr.Wallace says he's looking at the inaugural senior class to show that anyone and everyone can receive two free years of higher education.
"We're raising the bar. We have higher expectations, and we're going to have greater results, and you're going to see a greater emphasis on school and achievement," said Dr. Wallace.
The superintendent says he won't rest until all students cross the stage with diploma in hand-- with the opportunity for college in their grasp.

"These are places where I have friends and relatives. These are places that people are ignoring. We want to help them on the night."
So as she focuses on launching the album Daly is also focusing on getting her own life back on track after the storm. Although one job is taxing enough, two is really pushing it. But she doesn't complain.
"To tell you the truth I don't know how I'm doing it. We're safe, we're in our apartment together with our two cats, and the album is a labor of love for me. Life can't stand still," she offers.
"Some people I know are flipping out after the storm and they need help. I think you just have to go on."
Daly adds that she feels she owes something to the Irish and Irish American artists she has worked with on Together for Christmas because they have all been working on its final lineup for the past year and a half or so.
"I feel like I owe it to everyone who put time and energy into it to get it out there. It's great exposure for newer Irish and Irish American artists and it's worthwhile for the more established acts too."
The cover and the interior sleeves come with a witty little bit of Irish nostalgia that you'll be hard pressed to resist. Think fake silver Christmas trees, festive stockings and huge fake grins on over excited kids.
Yes, that is a Six Million Dollar Man being displayed proudly by one Irish child of the 1970s. Along with motorbike stunt daredevil Evil Kenevil, every house in Ireland bought one of them in that decade.
It's images like that that connect one Irish Christmas and one Irish family to another in a way that ultimately connects them all. It's why Daly started the entire project, and it's a proof of why it will be such a success this holiday season. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and fun.
"I asked the artists as well as my friends and family if they had any pictures of themselves in the 1960s, '70s and '80s. This is what they came back with and I have to say it's the perfect accompaniment to the album," she says.
For more information on the CD, which is released by Cosmic Trigger Records, visit www.togetherforchristmas.com, or call 1-800-714-3272. The CD also has a Facebook page and a Twitter account, and is available on iTunes.

Reflections on LinuxWorld Canada 2005
The conference sessions were less than inspiring, but the show had plenty of chemistry.
Fine spring weather warmed the Linux faithful who gathered in Toronto for LinuxWorld Canada 2005. The week began with the usual battery of tutorials. Topics included "All about OpenOffice.org and StarOffice," "Getting to Know Samba 3," and "Monitoring Linux with Native Tools." Most of the visitors arrived Tuesday, though, for the start of the trade show and conference sessions.

Double Lake LbNA # 20462

Nestled in the towering pines of the Sam Houston National Forest and located just outside the city limits of Coldspring, Double Lake offers a little of everything including camping, fishing, and picnicking. Picture a single figure in a canoe, slipping across the tranquil water, perhaps fishing, perhaps just getting back to nature. The lake was built in 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corp and covers an area of 28 acres. Take the time to walk the 1 ½ mile trail around this beautiful lake. There is also an 8 mile mountain bike trail in the park. If you can come during the week, you may have the park to yourself, but it can get busy on weekends.
This letterbox is located at Double Lake Recreation Area in the Sam Houston National Forest near the town of Coldspring. From Houston, take Highway 59 to Cleveland. Take the Coldspring exit to County Road 2025 and go north about 16 miles and look for the park entrance on your right. Go to the entry booth and pay the $5.00 day use fee.
Proceed from the entry booth, bearing right at the intersection, until you reach the parking area. Head toward the swimming area, designated by the yellow buoys. Take the paved path, taking note of the canoes on your left. Picture yourself in a canoe with a fishing pole in your hand. Cross the dam, pausing to admire the lake view. After passing over the bridge which crosses the spillway, you will have walked about ¼ mile. Take the lakeshore trail to your left and walk another ½ mile, keeping the lake on your left. At that point, you will see a small wooden pier just off the main path with a bench on it. Sit on the bench and enjoy nature. When you head back out toward the path you will notice a loblolly pine on your left which started life growing horizontally toward the lake before swooping upwards. Step over the trunk of this tree and in front of you will be another strange looking pine that wanted to grow at an angle, thought better of it, then grew straight up. The Double Lake letterbox is on the far side of that tree under pine needles and twigs. Bear in mind that this box was placed in February, so beware of poison ivy in the spring and summer. Sit on the bench and do your stamping. I would recommend continuing around the lake, counter-clockwise. It's a little shorter and takes you over a boardwalk which spans the wetlands at the west end of the lake. The entire trip is 1.4 miles (according to my pedometer).
Please be discreet and replace the box as found. I would appreciate notification when you find the box.
Be sure to look for Lone Star Quilter's The Flying Geese Letterbox while you're in this park.

Meow! In Insider-Trading Tapes, Gossipy Suspects Get Catty
It is one thing to have ostensibly private phone calls where you're discussing allegedly illegal stocks tips replayed for the entire world.
But it's quite another to be exposed as rude!
The first was expected in the insider-trading trial of Raj Rajaratnam, the founder of the Galleon Group hedge fund, which began last week in a lower Manhattan courthouse. The second, as detailed in this WSJ article today, has been a kind of WikiLeaks-hits-Wall Street by-product of the wiretapped conversations, courtesy of the FBI, that the government has introduced into evidence.
All week, federal prosecutors have been playing these tapes for a jury to show Rajaratnam and his cohorts allegedly passing and receiving inside intel on stocks. But the tapes also show these big-time money men (and one woman) engaging in high school hallway conversation, replete with duplicity, gossip and snide remarks. The story says:
A hedge-fund trader calls his buddy "a little dirty" and speaks of trying to "pump information out of my friend." Two associates mock a third for wanting to join a "billionaire circle." A former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director calls his fellow board members an "opportunistic group."
Take the conversations between Rajaratnam and Rajat Gupta, the former Goldman director, such as the one transcribed here.
As former McKinsey & Co. consultant Anil Kumar sat on the witness stand, prosecutors played a secretly-taped talk in which Rajaratnam and Gupta trash-talked his investing abilities. "I'm getting a feeling that he's trying to, just . . . be a mini-Rajat, right?" Rajaratnam says on the tape. "Without bringing anything new to the party, right?"
Later, when Rajaratnam says he's paying Kumar $1 million a year for doing nothing (the sum was exaggerated, and the government and Kumar say he was paid for tipping Rajaratnam), Gupta responds, "he should sometimes say thank you for that, you know?"
But in other tapes, Gupta is on the receiving end as Rajaratnam and Kumar talk about him, saying he's "greedy," and wants to join a "billionaire circle" by working with investor Henry Kravis, and is overextended. A transcript is here.
Through their representatives, none of the people on the tapes commented on the double-talk.
Others featured were Danielle Chiesi, a former hedge fund manager, calling former IBM executive Bob Moffat "geeky." At the time, she was having an "intimate" relationship with the married Moffat and he was giving her inside information. Both have pleaded guilty in connection with insider trading.
Then there was Raj's younger brother Rengan, talking about another McKinsey partner who he went to business school. In this conversation, Rengan Rajaratnam tells his brother that he suggested putting his friend on a McKinsey project with Galleon so he could "pump" information about clients out of him, and they both agree that the man is "a little dirty."
"Everybody is a scumbag," Rengan concludes.
On the news front, click here for WSJ reporter Susan Pulliam's recap of Wednesday's courtroom activity. Rajaratnam's defense lawyer, John Dowd, continued to hammer away on Kumar in his cross-examination. Thursday will be Kumar's fifth consecutive day on the stand.

Dinner closes Bookfest Christmas season
Blue Ridge Bookfest will bring to life the well-known story of Ebenezer Scrooge at Christmas on Jan. 7 at the Cedars on Seventh Avenue. The evening will feature readings from "A Christmas Carol" and a meal based on authentic Victorian recipes. It is offered to bring authors and readers together in an informal setting.
Charles Dickens wrote his "Little Christmas Story" as it was called, in 1843. He enjoyed reading it for many years to audiences of family and friends. Cedric Dickens, great-grandson of the author said, "Just as the character Scrooge laughed and cried as he realized the true meaning of Christmas, Dickens' audiences laughed and cried as he read his little story."
The younger Dickens published a book describing an evening built around "A Christmas Carol." The Bookfest committee will present it exactly as described: a five-course meal with short readings between the courses and wines selected to complement each.
Bill Ramsey, chairman of Bookfest 2012, will host the evening and Tom McCain who has been reading at Dickens Dinners for several years, will read. Music will be provided by harpist, Ann Dunn.
Period costumes are encouraged for the event, but not required. Charge for the evening is $75 per person, of which $40 is a tax deductible donation to Blue Ridge Bookfest.

Vital Signs: Housing Inventory Remains Spacious
Despite the continuing increase in home sales, housing vacancy rates remain high. That suggests a substantial share of housing demand can be satisfied by existing homes and not from new construction that would provide more growth and jobs for the U.S. economy.
The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that 10.2% of U.S. homes were vacant in the third quarter. That's little changed from 10.1% in the second quarter but still well above seen before the housing boom.
What's of interest is the rising share of vacant home that are being held off the market, not listed for rent or sale. According to real estate website, Trulia.com, off-market homes accounted for 53% of vacant homes last quarter, up 45% in the third quarter of 2006 when housing was near its peak.
Homes can be held off the market because they are under repair or being prepared to be put on the market, says Trulia's chief economist Jed Kolko. For a large number, sellers are not putting out the "for sale" sign until home prices rise further.
The homes held off the market represent a shadow inventory of homes. As repairs are completed and prices rise, these homes will move out of the shadows and into active real-estate markets. Buyers and renters then will have a greater choice of properties. Kolko says that could slow or even reverse recent price and rent increases.

EIA: World Energy Use to Grow 50% by 2030
Robust economic growth and expanding populations in the world's developing countries will fuel a 50% increase in world energy use between 2005 and 2030, according to DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA). The EIA admits that its "International Energy Outlook 2008" does not account for the recent surge in oil prices, and it projects a 26% increase in the use of petroleum over the next 22 years. It also foresees an expanded use of renewable fuels, increasing from 0.5 million barrels per day in 2005 to 2.7 million barrels per day in 2030, primarily in response to high prices for oil and natural gas. Worldwide, the consumption of hydropower and other renewable energy sources increase by 2.1% per year in the reference case, which results in a 58% increase over the next 22 years. The reference case doesn't include policies to limit greenhouse gas emissions, which are projected to increase by 51% between 2005 and 2030.
The report also includes a "high price" case that appears to more closely resemble today's trajectory of oil prices. In this scenario, world energy use grows by 44% between 2005 and 2030, but petroleum use declines by 2%. Meanwhile, renewable energy use grows by nearly 73%, and biofuels production increases to 4.2 million barrels per day by 2030. And although high oil prices will also encourage the development of unconventional resources, such as oil sands, the high price case yields a lower increase in greenhouse gas emissions, rising by 43% between 2005 and 2030. See the EIA press release and the "International Energy Outlook 2008."
The EIA also released its "Annual Energy Outlook 2008," which includes the same scenarios but focuses on the United States. Under the reference scenario, U.S. energy use grows by 19% between 2005 and 2030, while petroleum use increase by only 9% and ethanol use increases by a factor of 6. Hydropower increases by only 11%, but biomass energy, excluding biofuels, more than doubles, while other renewable energy sources more than triple. In the high price case, petroleum use drops by 2.1%, the growth in ethanol use and hydropower production stay essentially the same, biomass energy nearly triples, and the growth in other renewable energy sources stays the same. See the "Annual Energy Outlook 2008."

LA Theater Review
Love, Loss and What I Wore
The only visual elements, besides Lap Chi Chu's subtle lighting design, are a series of drawings of women in dresses that accompany the multipart "Gingy's Story," which is the only story read by Carol Kane. The other cast members—Caroline Aaron, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rita Wilson, and original Off-Broadway cast member Natasha Lyonne—take turns with more than 15 pieces, as well as a few "Clothesline" segments, which are a barrage of one-liners on topics such as "The Bra" and "The Closet." Clothes are the bonding element, but they tend to serve as the jumping-off point for the bigger themes of falling in and out of love, familial relationships, and death. The somber standout is "The Bathrobe," written by Rosie O'Donnell and performed by Wilson, about memories associated with a bathrobe worn by O'Donnell's mother who died when O'Donnell was young. The funniest piece, gregariously performed by Aaron, is "I Hate My Purse."
Sullivan has the cast occasionally act out bits of dialogue, which adds a sense of theatricality to the reading, and breaking up "Gingy's Story" adds cohesion to the evening. Even the weakest stories have interesting elements, and performed by this cast, they are engaging and entertaining.
Presented by the Geffen Playhouse at the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater, 10866 Le Conte Ave., Westwood. May 13–July 4. Tue.–Fri, 8 p.m.; Sat., 3 and 8 p.m.; Sun., 2 and 7 p.m. (310) 208-5454. www.geffenplayhouse.org.

The season is really starting in earnest now. I think there is an opportunity to race every weekend from here on out. And some weekends you can race twice. Don't worry, I am not going to do that, but this past weekend, I did double up. I was convinced to go road race on Saturday, even though my pals raced with the boys. I raced with the girls. The wind was strong, my legs were sore, but I survived the 56 miles of undulating terrain along with that punishing finish for a third place. I would say I kind of 'missed the sprint'. Third was good. And I actually didn't sit out front the whole time. I am learning. I had to save some for Sunday, to do what I really like to do.
Burgers followed at Deschutes, making a great weekend of bike racing complete.

The Blue Mitchell Quintet – Down With It (1965) (Audio)
An album that can be enjoyed by jazz listeners of all types and levels, Blue Mitchell's 1965 Blue Note release entitled Down With It is a magnificent example of what jazz should sound like.
A quintet featuring Chick Corea on piano,
Junior Cook on tenor sax, Gene Taylor on bass, Al Foster on drums, and Blue Mitchell on trumpet, this particular features different styles of jazz, with Hi-Heel Sneakers displaying a bop sound, and March On Selma having elements of blues, with other elements of free form, traditional, straight ahead jazz throughout, including a lovely ballad in Alone, Alone, & Alone. One thing to note is that most of the songs has excellent combinations of the duel sounds of the trumpet and saxophone, and all the solo work on each recording is truly unique in its own way, but definitely not overbearing in any way. Just a smooth listen, giving you a clear cut representation of what a jazz quintet is.
Listen to this album in its entirety, and you will enjoy it as much as any other jazz purist or musician would.

SonicWall says second buyer no longer interested
SAN JOSE, Calif. Network security technology provider SonicWall Inc. said Tuesday a privately held rival, which the company calls "Strategic Party D," no longer wants to buy it.

SonicWall said it is still recommending that its shareholders approve a proposed $636 million takeover bid from an investor group led by private equity firm Thoma Bravo LLC.
Under that deal, announced last month and already approved by the company's board, SonicWall shareholders will get $11.50 per share in cash.
Shares of SonicWall fell 36 cents, or 3.1 percent, to $11.42 in morning trading. The stock has traded between $5.63 and $11.95 in the past 52 weeks.

UConn junior Enosch Wolf has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest after an on-campus domestic dispute early Monday morning.
Wolf, a reserve center, was charged with third-degree burglary , first-degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. He's scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
The incident took place in the LaFlesche building at the Hilltop Apartments.
Wolf was involved in a physical altercation with a female resident, according to the university police report, and he refused to leave the apartment when asked. He grabbed the hair of the victim, pushed her head and knocked off her glasses with his hand, police said.
Wolf, a 22-year-old from Goettingen, Germany, was arrested at 5:55 a.m.
The length of the Wolf's suspension will be determined pending the completion of the legal process and a university review process, according to UConn.
"We are aware of the situation concerning Enosch and we are taking the matter very seriously," coach Kevin Ollie said in a released statement. "He has been suspended from the team indefinitely, until the legal and university process is finalized.
"I have spoken to the players on the team previously, and will continue to speak with them, about their conduct both on and off the basketball court. We have high expectations of our student-athletes at UConn, and I expect my players to live up to those standards."
UConn returned to campus Sunday after beating Seton Hall, 78-67, at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Wolf is averaging 3.4 points and 3.4 rebounds while appearing in all 22 games.
The loss of Wolf hurts the depth of UConn's already thin frontcourt. UConn hosts No. 6 Syracuse on Wednesday at the XL Center in Hartford.
The Daily Campus, UConn's student newspaper, first reported the story.

If you've got a favorite web series you'd like us to cover, head on over to the Contact Us page and shoot us your request. To catch up on past Web Series Wednesday posts click here.
This week we're covering Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog and Space Janitors.
I'm not going to judge you if you live in such a way (under a rock, perhaps) where you may have never heard of Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog. That's fine. If you are that person then it is my DUTY to direct you to the best entertainment $8 can buy. The rest of you know the genius of which I speak and can freely skip down to the next web series.
Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion and created by Joss Whedon is one of the best things to come to the internet EVER. It gives a sympathetic light to the villain (Harris) in contrast to the hero which could be Nathan Fillion's finest role. Here's the trailer.
Trailer: Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog
Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog is available in three acts on iTunes or buy the Blu-ray or Captain Hammer t-shirt from their website.
I first discovered the Space Janitors over on the Geek and Sundry YouTube channel on my break from The Guild (which we'll cover next week). It's a great, smart, hysterical look at a loose version of Star Wars through the eyes of its working class janitors. Not only are the actors funny and the story irresistible but the special effects are pretty good for a web series and they have a few extras videos, including bloopers and what they do with green screens, that are really cool.
Web Series: Space Janitors: Episode One – Space Janitors Have Dreams Too
They've just finished Season 2 and you can find all their videos on their website.
Check back next week for the next edition of Web Series Wednesday.

Recuerdo Happiness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: line
Quote #1
We were very tired, we were very merry— (1)
You know that the speaker's got to be happy when she repeats a line about her merriment three times! Oh – and one of them just happens to be the first line of the poem.
Quote #2
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry. (2)
Who would've guessed that public transit could be so exciting? The fact that repeated ferry rides could make our speaker so happy makes us think that she's more interested in her companion than she is in the ride itself.
