Do You Remember the First Time You Colored Your Hair?
As hairdressers, you're innately creative, artistic people--and no doubt you experimented with different hair styles, cuts and color, especially as a young adult.
But do you remember the first time you colored your hair? Did you have your parents' permission in advance? If not, how mad was your mother when she first laid eyes on you? Or, was it your cosmetologist parent who actually was the one who colored your hair?
I'll never forget my first experience--I was 13 and it was with Sun In, and Dad was completely oblivious! Had he noticed, of course he would have said something. But, he didn't say a peep. So, I got the brilliant idea to use more of it, and more of it, and more of it. Within a few weeks, I was an all-over brassy brunette. It was not a good look.
We asked MODERN's Facebook fans to remember... and here are their stories. If you'd like to share yours, tell us in the comments below, or HERE to join in on the conversation!
The first time you colored your hair, did you have permission from your parents?
Katerina Tsikoudakis I lied to my hair stylist that my parents said it was ok.... I came home with blonde highlights... My parents wanted to murder me! And now I am a hair stylist, and they really don't care what colors I do anymore. Finally. Took about 5 years.
Erica Prisby Sun in on dark brown hair= self taught lesson and fail
Lindsey Stevens My mother almost killed me because I dyed it copper red in 9th grade. She made me dye right over it : (
Kristin Davis I was in 7th grade and my mom did a home highlighting kit.... Yeah not good.
Jameson Thomas My mom was a hair stylist, best believe she did it first and then taught me how she did it.
Emily Rouse Mom let me get highlights and then the flood gates opened. Mohawks, pink, shaved, and glued back on...
Jenny Garcia LOL. NOOOO... She yelled at me and didn't speak to me until the next day.
Bobbie Gallant-Schlitz Kool-aid does not come out of blonde hair... I was five. I was born to be a hair designer. Lots of trouble.
Serena Bendycki Well I had my Dad's permission, but my mom was freakin! We went to the local grocery store to "enhance" my blonde. We got a box of bottle bleach. We enhanced my blonde alright and so my hair journey began.
Kelly Hirz LOL Im a natural level 3 and the summer after my Sophmore year I thought it would be a great idea to put "sun in" in my hair while laying in the sun. Well, I returned my Junior year a redhead! I grew up to be a hairdresser..I NOW know the proper way to become a blonde
Andrea Walker Absolutely not! They didn't mind...til they saw the bathroom.
Rebekah Hall Perry I cut bangs and used color before telling my mom... I was scared of the outcome. I guess I had some kind of talent then because she never got mad and now I do her hair every 3 weeks (so no grey ever shows)!
Valorie Hakola I was 11 or 12 and went to the salon with mom to have it done burgundy.....haven't seen my natural hair color since.(20 years)LOL
Aura Mae Punishment for my 14 year old Sun In disaster was having to let it grow out (no corrective color at the salon) and forbidden to color again until out of high school. My next color was graduation day.
Mallory Antone I did..but only after convincing my mom that Sun In wasn't going to change my hair colour, only add highlights lol then I went nuts with it and used Kool Aide to add color. Then Dad came home....hahaha. Those were the days.
Laura Holmes I went to California to visit relatives and they thought it would be funny to "scare" my parents by sending me home with jet black hair and a fake nose ring. I thought it was so cool how different I felt just by changing my hair color and have been a hair color maniac ever since! Mom and dad were less than amused, and I was forced to go to the salon and have them try to strip the black out lol
Diane McCaffrey Sesselberg haha nope and nope. bottle of (straight up drugstore type) peroxide over my head in bathroom sink. **cringe.** i was blonde anyway so it wasn't toooo bad.. got a little brassy after a bit!
Deborah Camacho Let me tell you all about it: I was 13 yrs old and wanting to experiment with my look and thought it would be fun to go lighter. I bought a bottle of sun-in (remember that stuff?) and completely WET my hair with it, though the instructions said to MIST the hair for gradual lightening in the sun...I didn't want gradual anything, lol. Anyway, it was wintertime and I heated my room with an electric heater (used to sleep right next to it, really)...I did this at night....can you imagine what happened?? I awoke with the top layer of my hair a bright yellow and the underneath layers were an orange reddish brown tone!! Needless to say, I got in lots of trouble! My mom immediately slapped black box color on that hot mess and that was that....LOL
Melissa Stanford I did a box bleach kit. It turned my dark hair flaming red-orange. My dad thought I had just been spending time out in the sun since it was summer in the desert, but my aunt noticed and she laughed and laughed at me!
Donna Tarnef Pitzorella i did get in trouble,i had a blonde /yellow streak put in my hair, and it looked awful, I had to have it colored the next day or don't come home.
Francie Beyering Skinner I am naturally a strawberry blonde, tried Sun-in that my father bought for me and tried adding bleach to my shampoo in Jr. high. In high school, my hairstylist wanted to try something new with my hair and she gave me blonde highlights for free. She is the reason I became a hairstylist. I never got in trouble for any of the color changes.
Lisa Moon Nope I dye it electric banana while they were sleeping my mom woke me up in the morning and freaked ! I was not allowed to go anywhere in public with them.
Kathy Davis Mundhenk No. Didn't get in trouble. Got a frosting tip highlight lit from the store. Did too much on one side, so went and bought another. I was chicken yellow, orange, and white all over the top and dark underneath. I looked like a smacked ass.
Deb Clark Ward ok ashamed to admit but no i didn't have permission so i used color the same as natural, duh! hahaha got away with it.
Yolanda Hernandez Parent did NOT know. I have dark brown hair, and thought my hair would be that BEAUTIFUL Dark Red shade on the box? NOOOOOOPE! My hair came out orange, and my older brother kept calling me Abe, for Abe Lincoln since I looked like a copper penny!
Miguel N Abi Vargas My mom took me to Mexico paid 15dollars for beautiful highlights ... and last year I gave my 3 and 2 year old girls a few streaks of blonde just to add their story ha!
Linda Taylor Bernal I started putting straight peroxide on my hair, till it turned nasty yellow. Then hit the drug store for a box color! Ended up going from bad to worse! Ended up at my Mom's hairstylist getting it fixed. And that was only the beginning!!! My attitude was don't ask permission if you think they might say no! Just do it!!
Kristin Bess 1997 in the basement bathroom with bleach and cherry kool aid. My mom flipped the first time but then realized hair was my passion so she let up.
Wendy Mank-Cannon My mom use to let me use her left over frost&tip. Then she started buying me my own. I was in 7th grade. I am so dating myself frost&tip.Now I'm in the beauty industry so it all worked out.
Hannah Britton dyed my hair blue when I was fifteen. I think I dyed most of the bathroom too and consequently was told that next time I was to dye my hair I was to do it in the garden.
Louanne Gingras Nixon My sister in law had just graduated beauty school, pulled my just past shoulder length hair through a cap. Half of it ended up in the sink. But that started me on a 30 plus year blonde streak. I have worn my hair dark brown level 4 for the last 6 years..... Long lesson learned.
Tammie Crenshaw Barksdale my son went into the shower "normal" 15 minutes later he comes out stop sign red. he jumps into the pool which then turns it PINK, so at our hometown festival everyone wants to know who did it. his answer, my mom. i had to pull him aside and threaten him lmbo
Jennifer Wentzheimer I colored my hair when I was 15. I did not have permission. Somehow I had a couple bucks and decided to get away from my mom in Walmart, sooo I bought a frost and cap kit, snuck it to the car and hid in my bathroom to do the dirty deed. About an hour later I came out with the entire front of my hair lightened to an awful yellow orange and no highlights in the back...I had pulled hair through every hole I could see. The results were terrible and embarrassing. Although my parents were mad they laughed at me and told me I better not think it was getting me out of school the next day! Can you say walk of shame?! But I haven't had my natural color since.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - The Wittenberg University Departments of Art and Communication welcome guest lecturer Clay Enos, a celebrity and commercial photographer, to speak about his career and the art/business of photography during a public lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 25. in Bayley Auditorium in the Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center.
Having worked in commercial photography for more than two decades, Enos also enjoys making street portrait photography and photojournalistic work as he travels. He is especially interested in how photography relates to food health and sustainability, with special regard to organizations that support sustainable fair trade coffee.
In 2007, Director Zach Snyder hired Enos to document his film adaptation of "Watchmen" for Warner Brothers. This resulted in "Watchmen Portraits", which is dedicated to 220 on-set street studio-style portraits made during production. Enos later collaborated with Snyder to document the filming of "Sucker Punch" (2011), "Man of Steel" (2013), and, the soon to be released "300: Rise of an Empire" (2014).
Enos holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film, Photography and Visual Arts from Ithaca College. He studied further with the VII photographers Jim Nachtwey, Gary Knight, and Antonin Kratochvil.
Co-sponsored by the Department of Art, the Department of Communication, and the Faculty Endowment Fund Board, the lecture is free and open to the public.

Dai, the only sure one to make the Finals.
Nobi, with two silver medals (not unlike Rachael) will have to watch Chan and Kozuka both of whom also have 15 each and are in two different comps for their second. Nobi will battle it out with Abbott and Mroz. What we have now is:
1. Dai, already in GPF
2. Chan (15 pts.) Russia
3. Kozuka (15 pts.) France
4. Abbott (13 pts.) Russia
5. Mroz (13 pts.) France
6. Verner (11 pts.) Russia
7. Amodio (11 pts.) France
8. Reynolds (9 pts.) France
9. Joubert (9 pts.) France
10. Hanyu (9 pts.) France
I believe with luck, all of them have a chance at being in the GPF, but 4 of them won't make it. Your guess, is as good as mine.
I don't think Reynolds and Hanyu really have a chance. If they could only finish 4th in their home events, I doubt they will do well enough in France/Russia (Hanyu will be competing in Russia rather than France, btw, Joe). I predict that Mroz is off the podium in France as well and out of the GPF.
Joubert will rally to win in France and make the GPF. Kozuka will come 2nd and also make the GPF. Amodio will come 3rd and miss out.
In Russia, Patrick Chan will win and make the GPF. Jeremy Abbott will place 2nd and make the GPF. Tomas Verner will place 3rd and miss out.
Amodio and Verner will both have two Bronzes and yet they will both miss the GPF. Two Bronzes just isn't enough. The only way one of them makes it to the GPF like that is if Abbott is less than 4th in Russia (unlikely) or Joubert is lower than 2nd in France (possible, but I doubt it...Joubert skates best in these kinds of situations where he is trying to regain his reputation).
I don't know if this is a reflection on me or not but is it bad that I always look at "Reynolds" whenever it appears in a post and go, "Hmm. Who's that again?"
As for COR, I'm not convinced Abbott will beat Verner, they always get very similar PCS and at their first events they put up nearly identical scores. To me it's a toss up as to who will best the other in Russia, and considering they both are inconsistent, there's a chance neither will end up on the podium. Also, if Chan pulls a SC again I'm not sure he'll be able to win if Abbott and/or Verner skate well.
Also, re Verner and Amodio, if they both place 2nd at their next event, which is definitely possible, then they likely will both make the GPF, right? Or is a bronze and a silver still not enough?
The opinions are there ^^^, and why not? However, the Slippery Sport rule applies.
Spunky Reynolds will hit his quads, and successfully skate clean. Will it matter with little reputation?
Jovial Joubert will impress his home town with solid Quads, and be himself. Will it be enough?
Danseur Hanyu will audition for the Paris Opera Ballet, but will he be ignored in TEB?
It ain't over till it's over.
LOL, I wasn't criticizing you!
I think that's the first time I've seen you use an eye-roll emoticon.

According to some economists and futurologists, we are witnessing the twilight of the American empire and the dawning of the Chinese empire.
Time will tell, although I seem to remember two or three decades ago some economists and futurologists declaring it was only a matter of time before the US was eclipsed by Japan. Right on cue, Japan Inc promptly succumbed to a malaise which it still hasn't entirely shaken off.
Regardless of statistics and trends, the fact remains that the world cannot take its eyes off America, while our eyes glaze over if we contemplate China for any length of time.
Take politics. In case you blinked and missed it, China has a new leader: one middle-aged male Communist Party apparatchik with hair that's been Brylcreemed into submission has taken over from another middle-aged male Communist Party apparatchik with hair ... well, you get the picture.
As prearranged, the incumbent stepped down, the successor stepped up, and that was that: a swift, seamless transition.
The only concession to novelty or generational change is that the new boss is one of a handful of the party's 80 million members who doesn't wear spectacles.
And wasn't that party convention a gripping, giddy affair?
For a while there I thought we'd crossed live to an Accountancy 1 exam at Beijing University.
America, on the other hand, knows how to hold an election: it takes years, costs billions, throws up concepts like legitimate rape and self-deportation, and features everything from a candidate whose name has become synonymous with the byproduct of a certain sexual act (Rick Santorum) to Clint Eastwood haranguing a chair.
And when it was all over we had the priceless spectacle of the right-wing punditry, stranded in their alternative reality in which Fox News is a legitimate news organisation and showbiz bottom feeders like Donald Trump and Sarah Palin are credible presidential contenders, trying to work out what went wrong.
To be fair, China did manage to have a decent political scandal this year.
It involved a power couple who wanted to turn the clock back to the Maoist era while simultaneously enriching themselves, the poisoning of an English go-between possibly linked to British intelligence, and a police chief barricading himself in the US consulate.
Although there was a suggestion that the Lady Macbeth figure was having an affair with the go-between she has since been convicted of murdering, there simply wasn't enough of that essential component of a juicy political scandal. I refer of course to sex.
While each day provides a new twist in the David Petraeus scandal, it's already abundantly clear that the men running America's military/security machine spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on their sex lives.
Take General John Allen, Petraeus' successor as commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan, who dispatched 20,000 to 30,000 "suggestive" emails to the Florida socialite at the centre of the scandal.
Imagine if you can the level of pent-up desire needed to generate that volume of correspondence: compared to Allen, J. K. Rowling suffers from crippling writer's block. And how creatively depraved do you have to be to keep coming up with saucy lines after filling a bookshelf with them?
As Salon.com pointed out this week, Barack Obama's Afghanistan commanders haven't exactly covered themselves in glory: one was fired for incompetence after less than a year; another lasted a year before being fired for insubordination, having disparaged his political masters for the benefit of a journalist; Petraeus was there a year, then went off to run the CIA and continue the adulterous affair he'd begun while on active service; and in between cold showers, Allen has spent the last 17 months in a Hunter S. Thompson-style speedwriting frenzy.
Given the commanders seem more interested in impressing embedded writers or pursuing obsessive cyber-affairs, it's little wonder the West's intervention in Afghanistan looks increasingly likely to end with a whimper, swiftly followed by the restoration of Taleban despotism.
This disorientation is what happens when ego meets hagiography.
America's top brass have long been the object of media fawning, but the coverage of Petraeus plumbed new depths of sycophancy.
In a 2007 Vanity Fair profile the hagiographer's stock in trade - inflating the mundane into the heroic - was taken to absurd lengths: Petraeus is extolled for withstanding the physical pain of sitting through two days of a Congressional hearing on a hard, uncushioned seat.
Worse follows: "He is a man of such distinction that in the army legends have formed about his rise. He possesses a stature so matchless it deserves its own adjective - call it Petraean perhaps."
As long-serving Sunday Express editor and columnist John Junor used to write when particularly nauseated: "Pass the sick-bag, Alice."

Sigma 60mm f/2.8 DN A MFT and NEX mount lens reviews: High performance, accessible priceBy Kevin Carter - Tuesday July 30 2013 Lens Review
As a short telephoto prime for Sony NEX and Olympus and Panasonic cameras, the re-categorized A series Sigma 60mm f/2.8 DN prime fills a gap not yet occupied by the camera maker's own models. Read on to see how well this lens performs.
Sigma were the first to market with lenses designed specifically for mirrorless cameras, and uniquely, the DN series were made for both APS-C Sony NEX cameras and Olympus/Panasonic bodies with their even smaller MFT format sensors. As with full-frame models, the lenses have a different angle of view between the two different formats. The restyled A-category 60mm f/2.8 DN reviewed here is the equivalent to a 120mm on a MFT body but only a 90mm on NEX camera. Like the others in the DN series, the minimalist design and sheer physical size (in diameter at least) is also somewhat at odds with the rather conventional styling and compact dimensions of the Panasonic and Olympus cameras. Be that as it may, common to both mounts, the 60mm features a linear-AF motor for smooth and quiet focusing with a minimum focus distance of 0.5m and includes low dispersion glass and aspherical lens elements. The lens has a sticker price of a not unreasonable $239, regardless of mount.

60 vs 60
Wouldn't it make more sense to compare Sigma 60/2.8 vs Olympus 60/2.8? Sure, the Sigma is not macro nor weather sealed, but otherwise is much closer match than to Oly 75/1.8.

A local daily recently reviewed several national fast-food chains, including McDonald's and KFC, even praising sub shop Quizno's. Reader reaction ranged from outrage ("That food is disgusting!") to bemusement ("Gotta be satire, right?"), because it's obviously challenging to perfume that particular pig. Dine in enough Subways, and the Five-Dollar Footlong seems less a bargain than a trial. So when an independent sandwich shop comes along that emphasizes quality over quantity, it immediately stands out. When its quality is as good as Cutty's, a 16-seat counter-service spot in Brookline Village, it seems nearly heavenly.
Cutty's is not for gorgers: sandwiches aren't quite six inches long. But the chef is ex–America's Test Kitchen, so you know he's tried hundreds of iterations before finalizing his specialty sandwiches. His standard-bearer is the spuckie ($3.95/half; $7.75/whole), which layers three very high-quality cold cuts (finocchiona, hot salami, mortadella) with house-made mozzarella and olive salad on ciabatta. The eggplant spuckie ($3.75; $7.25) substitutes thin-sliced roasted eggplant for the meats. Roast beef ($7.95) includes crisped shallots, Thousand Island dressing, and cheddar. One ham sandwich ($6.65) includes house-made pickles and pimiento cheese, a Southern spread blending mild cheeses, mayo, and jarred pimentos in a version so good my homesick Dixie buddy nearly cried. Another ($6.45) simply adds butter, Dijon, and gherkins on baguette. Marinated roast pork ($8.75–8.95, Saturdays only) includes either pickled fennel and roasted garlic or rapini and sharp provolone, served on a sesame roll. Each of these sandwiches is simply phenomenal, incorporating extraordinary-quality ingredients, bold but not overly busy flavor combinations, and great breads from Iggy's.
The same care and craft extend to a simple salad of mixed greens ($4.85) lightly dressed in good vinaigrette, and fresh-tasting tomato soup ($3.65) boasting house-made croutons and a light slick of olive oil. House-made potato chips ($2) are featherweight and perfectly browned. The fine in-house baked goods include brown-sugar cookies (95 cents), Rice Krispies treats ($1.65), and crumb cake ($1.75). Iggy's bagels ($1.35), croissants ($1.56), and sticky buns ($1.65) are also offered. The kitchen serves its own excellent granola with yogurt and honey ($3.65), pours fine filter coffee ($1.65; $1.85), and squeezes fresh limeade to order ($1.85). The rich chocolate milk ($1.45) is from Milton's Thatcher Farm. In a Walmart-size world that increasingly favors cheap, shoddy bulk, Cutty's offers a rare spectacle to gladden a real food-lover's heart: folks crowding in to pay a premium for a little bit less of something quite a bit better.
Cutty's, located at 284 Washington Street, in Brookline, is open Monday–Friday, 7 am–3pm, and Saturday, 8 am–3 pm. Call 617.505.1844.

Reviews of this property
We had a very nice stay at Halina's apartment which is bright, clean and not far away from the sea. Thank you!
Very nice and clean apartment. The contacts and the handover of the keys had no problems and very nice. The kitchen equipment was somewhat flawed (too few plates, pots and jars). With four little people to settle. The balcony is very big and beautiful, unfortunately missing table and chairs. Otherwise, I can recommend the apartment, because the location is great and very close to the beach.
Sehr schöne und saubere Wohnung. Die Kontakte und die Übergabe des Schlüssel waren ohne Probleme und sehr nett. Die Ausstattung der Küche war etwas mangelhaft ( zu wenige Teller, Töpfe und Gläser). Mit vier Leute kaum zu regeln. Der Balkon ist sehr schön und gross, leider fehlten Tisch und Stühle. Ansonsten kann ich die Wohnung empfehlen, denn die Lage ist Top und sehr nah zum Strand.
Very nice and quiet apartment, not far from the beach. Swinemünde is a perfect place to spend summer hollydays. Halina and Krystyna are very friendly and helpful for everything.
I can recommend the apartment without any limitations. New and clean, close to the promenade and the sea. The host was also very friendly! Thank you!

The property has maintained what they had promised. While there are always small improvements, but everything else was ok. I would not hesitate to book it again.
Die Unterkunft hat das gehalten, was sie versprochen hatte. Es gibt zwar immer kleine Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten, aber sonst war alles ok. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder buchen.
Keys worked great. Location of the apartment super, one is in 5 minutes on the beach. Only downside was the bed and there was no coffee.

i have some questions about menthol application..... i am following george imirie's recommendations...
i placed menthol in the hive today. on top of the brood frames.
i know that the menthol is supposed to vaporize, but is it normal for the bees to appear over come? about 300 bees outside the entrance the afternoon in a loose cluster, some disoriented and others just sitting there...
i know that it is important to leave the menthol treatment in the hive for the alloted time, but AM I KILLING MY BEES?
also, if i have really warm weather and this first packet vaporizes in 3-4 days, do i put another packet in there to finish out the total time period? or is it amount based?, not time period based?

Holiday Updates from CrestockPosted: December 16, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized 6 Comments
Upload hiatus for the holidays
The Crestock image upload system will be temporarily suspended from December 21st 2011 through January 4th 2012. During this time it will not be possible to upload new images to the system or connect to our FTP server for bulk file transfers. Images which have been processed before the December 21st cutoff can still be edited and submitted via the site, however.
We hope our contributors and editors will enjoy the break.
Some important notes for contributors:
- The cutoff will begin at 12 noon ET on Wednesday December 21 2011. Uploading will resume at 12 noon ET on Wednesday January 4, 2012. Advance notice will also be posted on each contributors' Upload Image page.
- Images which are in the process of being transferred when the cutoff takes effect may be truncated. We will check for and remove any incomplete files later in order to prevent processing errors.
- Images which were uploaded to the FTP server before the cutoff date will remain safe on the server for later processing.
- Our existing policy of deleting unsubmitted uploads older than 60 days will be altered to take this uploading hiatus into account. Instead of 60 days, contributors will have 90 days to process images uploaded between October 22nd and December 21st.
UPDATE (12/21/2011, 12:15PM) – The upload system is now on hiatus. Images which were transferred successfully prior to the cutoff are safely stored on the FTP server, however will not be visible under "My Uploads" unless they were processed before noon today. It will be possible to resume processing after 12 noon on January 4th.

Attacks on the Press | Philippines
Attacks on the Press | Philippines
Alerts | Colombia, Russia, Sierra Leone
New York, January 4, 2001 --- Of the 24 journalists killed for their work in 2000, according to CPJ research, at least 16 were murdered, most of those in countries where assassins have learned they can kill journalists with impunity.
This figure is down from 1999, when CPJ found that 34 journalists were killed for their work, 10 of them in war-torn Sierra Leone.
In announcing the organization's annual accounting of journalists who lost their lives because of their work, CPJ executive director Ann Cooper noted that while most of the deaths occurred in countries experiencing war or civil strife, "The majority did not die in crossfire. They were very deliberately targeted for elimination because of their reporting." Others whose deaths were documented by CPJ appear to have been singled out while covering demonstrations, or were caught in military actions or ambushes while on assignment.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Now I need a cheap trigger guard. Might make one if I can find the drawing again. Machine shop still has my EOD bolt, so he can give me a quote on 10 each partial copies. We decided to do the main body of the bolt/carrier only. The tube for the recoil spring is welded on after the fact, and the end user could take care of that. We'll see.

SOS-dan is now complete! Although last week I was expecting Mikuru figma to arrive, I got Fate Testarossa instead by mistake. It took Hobby Search exactly 7 days to resolve the issue and ship a Mikuru figma to me free of charge. I've appropriately titled this post "Mix it up" for 2 reasons: First, I've redone my blog graphics and made 3 new banners for the top. They "mix up" randomly so hopefully you'll see all 3 of them eventually. Secondly, I mixed my figma's parts around today to create some mutants. Apart from Mikuru I plan to show those pictures as well.
There's not much to report. I'm doing much better after last week's breakup; still wondering what will happen when I bump into her at the convention next weekend. I've just been working a lot and hanging out with friends to keep my mind occupied. Yesterday I played DBZ:Tenkaichi 2 with Alfred for 2 hours straight. Man, that game is so much fun.
Another beautiful day allowed me to take more pictures. With this the SOS-dan is complete.
I'm also happy to report that for PSP, released in November, will be a 3rd DJ Max Portable game released in North America (the previous 2 were Korea and Japan only). It will be titled DJ Max Fever and as far as I know will have songs from both games and I'm assuming more (as there will be at least 100 tracks).
In other news, I'm thoroughly enjoying DBZ:Tenkaichi 2 again now that I have a worthy opponent to play against. Thanks Alfred!

well its that time of year, again. Can anyone beat the high ranking swarm catcher?
I've caught one so far (not with a trap though), so I'd imagine that Ollie already has me lapped by now!
Time for everyone to post their numbers.
well its that time of year, again. Can anyone beat the high ranking swarm catcher?

Time for everyone to post their numbers.
I think catching swarms may be the best part of beekeeping too me. Its such a thrill... I am at 10 this year all ready. The last one was Saturday and I was driving down the road about 6pm about dusk and my wife shouted " We just passed a Swarm of bees." I really doubted she saw bee's on the other side of the road with me driving 65 MPH.... Well it was almost dark when I finished, but we got them bees.
I think, the competition refers to swarms moving in to bait hives.
Yeah. I sort of figured that. I just got carried away with my last swarm I found.
How do I cash in on all of these competitions named after me? It seems to be a slow year here for bait hives. I might get beaten this time around.
Just curious whats the average number???
I think if you fill 50 bait hives...you're starting to get close.
Didn't you trap over 35 last year OD?
The competition was swarm traps only last year.
whats the number to beat so far, OD?
What is important is not how big you make it, but how you make it big!
Slow or late season. I only have twelve so far.
You're ahead of my ONE.
well I am puling the hind wagon for sure 20 traps out and not a single taker..........may still be a little early, will see
This is my first year to try trapping a swarm. I built 5 traps and baited them with a vial of lure and a few drops of LGO. They are basically over sized deep 8 frame hives. I used untrimmed 1x12's. At the time I didn't have the ability to do rabbets, so I just used cross-pieces to hang the frames on. I've since got a router table, and hope to build a couple hive boxes this weekend.
Here's some pics of the boxes I've built so far.
Put four traps out this year and one just got moved in. It happened to be the one next to the solar wax melter, and there's always a couple of bees around attracted by the smell of the wax. I'll be doubling down on that particular approach of having a trap next to the melter.
Put out 7. Colonies in 3. Comb built outside one.
I have put 21 traps for this year. From April 6 till today, I have caught 11 swarms.
One month still to go.

Leslie, you have about 24 hours to edit your post if you choose to fix the link you posted. Note that your link has dual "http://" sections. That is why it doesn't work. Look for the "Edit Post" button at your original post.
If I just called it a "Bad link", then there might be confusion as to whether the URL itself was "bad" or the content at the link was "bad".

i agree with lynnie, those flowers look great and bountiful!
i wish i had lost many things with menopause, suzie, but it turned out only my patience was missing. seriously, it went on for 10 yrs or so, and i feel safe in saying i am through it now. my sister had not even a day of symptoms.
the migraines may partially be from stress, but my dr broke into great gales of laughter when he asked me when i got them,and i said when i'm shopping. he figures we could make millions if we could sell that to husbands to ' give' to their wives. but he thinks it's the lights in the mall. i think there may be scents also, but 2 have happened in macy's. i went to jcp on tuesday and then to get my mani-pedi done and no migraine. so... what does it prove? i knew it! i'm allergic to macy's!! lol
dotty--what tips did you get re the fusibles?


text: I really love beesource, and use its archives quite a bit. I often find this Bee Forum to have a lot of really basic threads esp. from 1st year beekeepers. Is there any sort of guidance about Beekeeping 101. For people asking more advance kinds of questions it sort of muddies up the water. It would be nice if there was something between this, which is pretty basic most of the time and Bee-L.

Where I stayed
California Beach on the Main Salmon River
What I did
Whitewater Kayaking
sight seeing
Shepp Ranch
award ceremony
skinny dipping
crazy costumes
We had french toast and bacon for breakfast. We took some group photos and talked, it was a bit more leisurely this morning. We were going to be paddling 10 miles and the water level was at 7,800 cfs. We were going to make a stop for lunch and also at a working ranch for a visit. We were told today was going to be more mellow in terms of rapids similar to yesterday.
We packed up our clothes, tents and sleeping bags and loaded them onto the raft. While the guides finished packing up camp we did some roll practice in the wave trains right aside of our beach
First we passed Warren Creek Camp, Swimming Hole Camp, Indian Creek, James Creek Camp, and James Ranch before coming to our first named rapid class II James Ranch Rapid, which consisted of large waves before we entered the next rapid class II Pete's Rock Rapid which has table sized rock on river right.
We bypassed Rugged Creek Camp, Rabbit Creek Camp, before arriving at Shepp Ranch and Crooked Creek. We pulled in on river right and got out of our boats.
A cute lab greeted us and wanted to play fetch with a ball in the river, so we played with him a bit before stripping off some of our gear and making our way up the hill to the ranch.
The owners greeted us and told us a bit about their ranch, which is available as a place to stay on the Main Salmon. It is a working ranch and their are horses, donkeys, pigs, chickens and goats. Some of the workers were chopping wood in preparation of the winter ahead
it was interesting to see a ranch and all the work that goes into it. As always it was fun to see the animals too. The property is lovely and big and has a creek running right through the middle of it. We walked around and took pictures. Afterwards we returned to our boats and got back on the water.
As we passed by Polly Bemis Ranch, Lisa told us a bit about the history of that ranch and the woman who lived there. We also bypassed Alex Meadow Camp, Small Beach Camp and Basin Creek Camp.
Since it was a more relaxing day in terms of rapids we were able to appreciate the scenery more. It looked as if the canyon had opened up a bit more and we were seeing more signs of life in this area, it seemed to be a bit more populated.
We began to have some water battles on the river. Anna had snuck a water gun onto the trip and was squirting everyone. We had fun doing that. There was a decent amount of flat water in this section. Ofcourse where there is flat water it seems there is wind, we had to fight the wind all the way down river, it never seems to blow down river either
We stopped for our usual lunch of sandwiches and fruit somewhere along the way. As always Lisa told us more river stories and history.
After lunch we bypassed Whiskey Bob Camp, Upper Bull Creek Camp, Bull Creek Camp, on our way to a small rapid class II Cottontail Rapid. We had no problems here.
We then bypassed Gold Rush Bar Camp and pulled in on river left, we had arrived at California Creek Camp, which was our home for the night.
We stripped off our river gear and set up our tents and sleeping bags and changed into dry street clothes. We sat and talked around the fire while dinner was being prepared. We had salad, bbq pork and sweet potatoes for dinner and carrot cake for dessert.
This was the last night we were spending on the river so we talked about our trip and what we really liked
Afterwards we were sitting around talking when all of our guides including the GAP staff disappeared. They came back and asked for our attention. Canyons has another tradition that GAP eagerly adopted. It was an award ceremony. Each woman got an "award" of some type. Our awards were rocks or wood that were picked up along the way and decorated. There were all sorts of awards from most adventurous to best laugh, most carnage. I got the Combat Queen Award because I was the only lady to make a combat roll/s in big water. It was a fun way to bring a close to our night on the water. I still have my award.
Once the award ceremony was over we decided it was a perfect night for skinny dipping so we stripped and jumped into the water. Thankfully we had a roaring bonfire to warm up with on the beach.

"Iran's alarming crackdown on women" by Qanta A. Ahmed | 30 August 2012
In "Reading Lolita in Tehran," Azar Nafisi captured perfectly the conflicts facing the Iranian woman under the post-revolutionary regime as she wrote of mentoring young women studying English literature, including Nabakov's notorious "Lolita."
"Women's long battle to define rape" by Estelle B. Freedman | 24 August 2012
When U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin of Missouri used the phrase "legitimate rape" to defend his opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest, President Obama fired back, saying that we should not "be parsing and qualifying and slicing" types of rape. Yet for most of our history, that is precisely what Americans have been doing. Our legal definition of rape has evolved over centuries, and clearly, we're not done fighting over it.
"Trolling for trolls in Disney World and the real world" by April Alliston | 27 August 2012
You may have thought trolls were those fairytale ogres who lurked under bridges once upon a time, or maybe those vintage naked plastic dolls with the big shocks of brightly-coloured hair that are so ugly they're cute.
"In shunning African refugees, Israel ignores Exodus' call not to 'oppress the stranger'" by Maya Paley | 27 August 2012
Israel was established as a haven for survivors of genocide. But it is now confronting a problem that puts that historical legacy to the test, and the results so far are dismaying.
"I had the honor and privilege of being surrounded by twenty truly amazing women (five of whom were lawyers, myself included), ranging in age from 30-60 and coming from all corners of the globe. One woman (Opinion Page Editor at the Sydney Morning Herald) flew in from Australia. Another woman (a veterinarian) flew in from Guelph, Canada; her sister (an Episcopalian minister) flew in from Santa Fe, New Mexico. I feel like I am part of a movement (aka the Op-Ed Project) and it is truly gaining momentum. No turning back now! Thanks again for making this possible. I'll be sure to let you know when my first piece hits the news stand." -–Arlene M. Roberts, speechwriter, editor of "Eloquent Delivery - 150 Great Speeches by Female Activists and Political Leaders from Cady Stanton to Chisholm to Clinton""Frankly, the session with Catherine Orenstein was one of the best of its type I have heard and this was not my first. In fact, I approached the session in a rather dubious frame of mind, but Catherine converted me almost immediately."-–Elizabeth Rindskopf Parker, Dean, University of the Pacific McGeorge Law School; former general counsel of the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency"Katie was a tough, superb teacher. After class one day, I mentioned that I had inadvertently worked for a company which was helping students cheat. Katie strongly encouraged me to write about it and helped me submit my piece. A week later, "Writing Wrongs" was published on the front page of the Outlook section of the Washington Post. Along with the tremendous feedback I received, the piece opened many doors for me. I am thankful for Katie's support in what I hope will be a life-long career in journalism."--Bess Kargman, accepted by Columbia Journalism School after publishing her op-ed"After I read about Catherine Orenstein's seminar I got up the nerve to write my first op-ed piece ever. Her advice was so helpful that my first editorial appeared in the Boston Globe - after which I was invited to be on NPR. Two weeks after I finished the seminar I placed my second op-ed in the Chicago Tribune. The response has been very positive and several people have suggested I write a book!"--Zine Magubane, Associate Professor of Sociology at Boston College.

i need to coat a few plastic foundations.. whats the easiest way with a limited amount of bees wax on hand..
i need to coat a few plastic foundations.. whats the easiest way with a limited amount of bees wax on hand..
melt it in a very small container and brush it on, or feed the bees sugar syrup and let them do the work
In the past I used the trim rollers you can buy at cheapo depot
I use a foam brush. I tried a foam roller with pitiful results. I melt the wax in a saucepan outside with a bit of water in it (once melted, the wax just floats on top of the water and most of whatever crap is left in it sinks to the bottom). -js
James Wagner
I agree with dixiebooks. Foam brush works well for me.
You can just rub the wax across the cells if you have just a few to do.
I did it with 20 drone frames I forgot to do and it seemed to work okay.
thank you.. i bought one of those shamrock mating quad nucs and they recommend to coat the frames..
Next, double boiler and pour melted wax through coffee filter or paint strainer.
I then put the clean wax in double boiler and use the foam brush to brush on quickly. If you need was for just this and don't have enough, the craft stores usually have some beeswax and you can use a coupon to save money... Michael's was where I bought a big block for some candles before I rendered my own.
I buy unwaxed plastic frames from Mann Lake because they are substantially cheaper. I have been rolling on wax but this summer due to sircumstances beyond my control, I just didn't have time and shook colonies off AFB infected comb onto the unwaxed frames and began feeding heavily two days later. That was August with a few done late in September. I was just checking and putting mountain camp sugar on those colonies today and was amazed at how large a cluster most ended up with. They drew the comb beautifully but only as they needed it. That is always the secret to drawing comb. If they need it for brood or storage and you pour on the feed, they will build foundation. If they do not need to add room, they won't build comb.
How many frames are you waxing a year Vance?

On looks alone which one do you prefer?I like both but I think Fusion looks better.
-----------------------------Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary… that's what gets you. – Jeremy Clarkson
On styling alone I prefer the 6. It is a much sexier design to me.
------------------2014 Nissan Juke SL2012 RAM 1500 Express 4x4 Reg Cab2011 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Mazda 6 looks great but the Fusion is just gorgeous it really makes everything else look mediocre. I think its a credit to this segment styling is slowley coming into this class with the Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6, Ford Fusion just to name some. This is a segment I really never considered but that Fusion is just so damn sexy I might tai another look.
On looks alone the Mazda, but at this point the Fusion promises to have better engine choices.
___________________________Chortle ChamberEggs.
They both look great IMO, although I'm leaning more towards the Mazda.
I've always been a huge Mazda fan...but in this case I'm going to have to concede that the Ford is much more aggressive looking and I like that better. I also like Ford giving us more powerful engine choices, even though their only turbo 4bangers...I wish that the 6 had 200hp from the 2.5liter rather than what the article states 189hp. That would make it more worthy of a competitor for my current Mazda 6, but for the moment...I think I will just keep my 03 s.
______________________________Red has more personal associations than any other color. Recognized as a stimulant, red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived. Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element.Read more at: http://www.sensationalcolor.com/color-meaning/color-meaning-symbolism-psychology/all-about-the-color-red-4344#.VUI5qCFVhBc
Fusion--I do like both front ends a lot, but the rear of the 6 just seems like an afterthought to me.
Mazda, rear of Fusion is very Fiesta-ish..
I like the 6 more, those front fenders are just sex on wheels.
I like both of them, the spec sheets for both cars are promising as well.
They said the new Mazda 6 could be as light as 2900 lbs. Jelly?
___________________________Chortle ChamberEggs.
Fusion for me, but i love the Mazda's design as well. IMO, they're the 2 best looking cars in their class. I wouldn't mind having either of them. On another note, I got my rental car today, 2012 Malibu. It's obviously a base trim, but my god cheap plastic galore. I'd love to sit in a new 2013 upper trim Malibu to see the best it can offer.

What really frightens paranormal investigators, those folks who go looking for ghouls? Some will tell you it's the uncomfortable feeling they sometimes get when leaving the scene — a feeling that someone, or something, wants to follow them home.
Steve Sztabor, of Woonsocket, knows the sensation all too well. He has always been fascinated by stories of ghosts and hauntings, and several years ago that curiosity led him on a late-night ramble through the city's Precious Blood Cemetery. The old burial ground is in a crowded neighborhood, but after midnight, when the streets are quiet and the surrounding homes are dark, it can seem like an eerie, empty corner of the world.
That's especially true if you know the history of the place. In 1955, when Hurricane Diane turned the Blackstone River into a raging torrent, flood waters tore through the cemetery, washing away the sod and sending dozens of coffins floating downstream.
Sztabor is not the type who scares easy. He's been ripping it up on big cruiser motorcycles all his life, and has spent a good bit of time hanging out with rough-and-tumble biker crowds. Nonetheless, by the time he ended his post-midnight stroll, he was feeling a bit uneasy. He'd seen nothing, but he knew he wasn't alone. He felt a chill prickliness on his skin. The Rod Serling moment came when he got in his car and took off down the road.
A few blocks away he pulled into a parking lot. "I had to stop," he recalls. "I knew there was something in there with me. Finally I opened the car door and told it to leave. Just told it to get out."
Not long after, Sztabor decided to find some friends to take along when snooping for spooks. He teamed up with some of his motorcycling pals and a few of their wives and girlfriends to form the Paranormal Bikers, a group of leather-clad seekers who investigate alleged hauntings. They also offer their services, at no charge, to those who feel threatened by pesky poltergeists and other things that go bump in the night.
The frightened and fretful have responded. In the two years since they launched their group, the Paranormal Bikers have handled more than a dozen cases, and they now have a backlog of requests. That should surprise no one. Ghost stories have been with us since the dawn of time. Yet they've become one of the 21st century's hottest trends.
Everyone in Rhode Island knows that. Over the past seven years we've watched reality TV transform two Warwick plumbers, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, into national celebrities. They're the leaders of The Atlantic Paranormal Society — a group of self-styled investigators, just like the Paranormal Bikers — and the stars of the SyFy Channel's Ghost Hunters, with 2.6 million viewers. It's no wonder the tube is now awash with similar reality shows.
Poll numbers offer evidence, too: a 2008 survey by the Associated Press showed 34 percent of Americans believe in ghosts, while a Gallup poll from 2005 put the number at 32 percent. There are hundreds of amateur investigative groups across the country, armed with cameras and audio recorders to capture evidence. Poke around the web, and you'll find a dozen or more groups right here in the Ocean State.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes:
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." (Quoting Cesare Beccaria)
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?
Black Blade: Of course according to a few (even here) we are to suppose that our Founding Fathers (including Thomas Jefferson) were wrong to defend freedom and liberty and that they are treasonous criminals? I say that is absurd and incredibly stupid.

18 USC § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
18 USC § 2381 - Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.", Will Durant
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.", Edmund Burke
Sorry, you people are delusional if you can't see the difference between actually resisting the government once they start marching into neighborhoods and using military might to take control, and calling for an armed take over of the government because it wasn't who you wanted, then any further discussion is futile.
Further, turning this into a right versus left argument pretty much says you have run out of rational arguments to defend your point of view.

Once they are marching and then you decide to act, you will suffer from lack of preparation. Not promoting anything just saying. If you are simply referring to prepping "in case" such an event should take place as to not suffer than you harbor the same mentality you just don't voice it.
Oh and treason is harboring or aiding the enemy, but I think what the picture is promoting is dessention or sedition what would lead to what the military calls mutiny and what forefathers called revolution.
You know I always gotta give you crap every time you say something like "you people" or " you all" when you post. That's generalization and that is wrong.

I keep it plugged in all summer and just throw wood shavings in it, press the button and 30 seconds later I am smoking hives. I don't think the battery will last for doing 100s of hives, but for quick checks or small apiaries it is great. I don't have to light it and don't have to put it out before putting it back in the truck.

This is why no one with any sense talk to this imbecile, Shake. Yes, genius the '07 SB is played in Feb '08; the entire country refers to it as '07 because it was the SB of the '07 season.
Hey we could still make the playoffs? What does that mean? Then that means we accomplished something?
Cowboys fans never fail to entertain. Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile. They've been talking about going to the Super Bowl ever since they beat us at the beginning of the year.
Tell us something we dont know. And incidentally, Dallas is not in the playoffs as of right now, so it might be wise to wait before laughing at us. Nothing is decided yet.

More Anti-Gay Distortions and Lies From Another Churchbrandon | July 18th, 2011 | No Comments »
The following editorial is from 'The Trumpet', an online newsletter of the Church of God, regarding the California law that requires some gay history to be included in public school education curricula: "Landmark law reveals that the war against family is intensifying" –"California's public schools will be required to teach students about the contributions of homosexual Americans beginning on January 1, 2012, after Gov. Jerry Brown (photo right) signed a landmark bill June 16, 2011 requiring the material to be added to social studies textbooks and curricula… –"The California Family Council said that since the material is not part of a sexual education' class, parents will not have an opting-out option, and will not be told beforehand about classes teaching the new material… –"Opponents were upset with Brown's decision to sign the bill, and questioned whether instruction about homosexuals in public schools is necessary.

text: So today was the first day in weeks that it was still and sunny and in at least the mid forties, I am a first year beekeeper and went in to the fall with ten hives but one was very, very weak and I have been expecting that one to die off. In my inspection I found two dead outs with lots of moldy comb. Can I spray the moldy comb with BT and somehow dry it out for reuse in the spring with healthy hives? I looked in the archives and found reference to bees cleaning up "less than desirable comb". I live in western oregon and am pretty sure we have no SHB but wax moth is around and messing things up.

Hearthfire DLC (Revision 17079)
The Hearthfire DLC is an expansion that lets you ... purchase a piece of land in Skyrim and build your own house. Within the custom living space you are able to build kitchens, greenhouses, libraries, alchemy labs and trophy rooms to show off your accomplishments.
Hearthfire is priced at 400 Microsoft Points and was released on September 4, 2012 on Xbox Live. The PC version released on October 4, 2012 priced at $5. A Playstation 3 release has been announced for February 19, 2013 on Playstation Store. The Playstation version is priced at $5. The Playstation version will be sold with 50% off for the first week from release.
To initiate the Hearthfire content, simply travel to the cities of Dawnstar, Falkreath or Morthal and speak to the steward there. Ask about purchasing a house and they will prompt you with the 5000 gold fee, handing over a deed to your plot of land. Note that certain quests must be completed before the Jarl will like you enough to sell you the land. Dawnstar: A Waking Nightmare, Kill the Giant (Radiant). Hjallmarch: Laid to Rest. Falkreath: Fetch Black Briar Mead, Kill the Bandit Leader (Radiant).
Follow your map marker to your new plot of land where a set of working fixtures and a book with the basics is waiting for you. Inside the chest are some materials, as well as a pile of logs behind you, enough to get you started on your house, creating a small shack with the raw materials. Additionally you can purchase lumber, stone, and clay from your Housecarl if you make him/her your steward once you have become the Thane for Dawnstar, Falkreath, or Morthal.
Hearthfire also adds the option to adopt children, adding several orphaned child NPC's to the game, as well as sending the children of any slain NPC's to Honorhall Orphanage in Riften. You can build space in your Hearthfire house, or alternatively, talk to the Steward in any hold where you own a house, and they should have an option for making space for a child. Once in your stead, they can be ordered to do chores, go to bed, or go play outside, and be given gifts of clothing, toys, or even a dagger for protection. They will sometimes ask for allowance, if they can keep the baby Mudcrab that followed them home, or if they can stay up five more minutes. You can also make a pet out of Follower animals, including Vigilance and Meeko.

Nice depth now at DT
The roster had about 76 players a few days ago ( more or less ), getting a little crowded IMO.
This creates a lot of competition for camp but can't see them carrying more than 4 guys. Joseph, Jenkins, Austin, Patterson, Rogers, Kuhn....not to mention they may draft someone also.
If I had to make a guess right now I'd say Rogers and Kuhn are on the bubble. Kuhn will probably get put on the roster squad.
Kuhn will start the year on PUP list.
It's a DE at 19 this year to have JPP bookends then O-line ijn 2nd and/or third round

The concern with fast weight loss is that it usually takes extraordinary efforts in diet and exercise — efforts that could be unhealthy and that you probably can't maintain as permanent lifestyle changes.
A weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week is the typical recommendation. Although that may seem like a slow pace for weight loss, it's more likely to help you maintain your weight loss for the long term. Remember that 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat contains 3,500 calories. So to lose 1 pound a week, you need to burn 500 more calories than you eat each day (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).
Also, if you lose a lot of weight very quickly, you may not lose as much fat as you would with a more modest rate of weight loss. Instead, you might lose water weight or even lean tissue, since it's hard to burn that many fat calories in a short period.
In some situations, however, faster weight loss can be safe if it's done the right way. For example, doctors might prescribe very low calorie diets for rapid weight loss if obesity is causing serious health problems. But an extreme diet like this requires medical supervision. And it can be difficult to keep this weight off.
In addition, some diets include an initiation phase to help you jump-start your weight loss. For example, the Mayo Clinic Diet has a quick-start phase in which you might lose 6 to 10 pounds in the first two weeks. You can lose weight quickly with an approach like this because it combines many healthy and safe strategies at once — no gimmicks or extreme dieting. After the initial two-week period, you transition into the recommended weight loss of 1 or 2 pounds a week, which is not only safe but also realistic and sustainable for the long term.

On any given day in Shanghai it's not unusual to see and hear people originating from all corners of the globe. With such a mash-up of different cultures, languages, races, and influence I've been curious to know what the ideals of beauty are here. I mean, other than ginger folks who quite obviously sit at the epitome of cross-cultural envy.
Do Chinese women want to look more western? Do western women want to look more like Chinese women? And what about the guys? We know both local and foreign men spend too much time on their hair but what sort of physical enhancements do they seek? And is it really true that in these economic times cosmetic surgery is being used to land jobs?
Well to help answer those questions and more I asked Shanghai East Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Clinic's Director of Clinical Liaison, Dr Sheena Burnell, an Australian trained Doctor and ex-pat in Shanghai. As a professional with experience in both Australia and China Dr Burnell brings an insightful look into the world of cross-cultural beauty, cosmetic surgery in Shanghai, and the people who seek cosmetic enhancements.

Glaciers in the Greenhouse: Polar Ice Might Have Little to do with Global Warming
Levi Beckerson

Researchers at Scripps find evidence that glaciers are tougher than we might think
Global warming has been the hotly debated harbinger of the apocalypse in recent years. Rising ocean levels may put cities or perhaps
entire states
under salty ocean water while violent storms fueled by an over-warmed atmosphere wrack dry land.
Doom and gloom aside, one naturally occurring effect of raising ocean temperatures is the shrinking of polar ice caps and glaciers. The frozen water returning to the ocean contributes to climbing sea levels and should they disappear into the brine, could probably put most of the eastern seaboard under a pleasant warm ocean surf.
Or maybe they won't. Recently published data from a study done at Scripps Institute of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego indicates that there may have been glacial growth even during one of the strongest climate warmings in Earth's history, known as the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum.
"Until now it was generally accepted that there were no large glaciers on the poles prior to the development of the Antarctic ice sheet about 33 million years ago. This study demonstrates that even the super-warm climates of the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum were not warm enough to prevent ice growth," explains Richard Norris, professor of paleobiology at Scripps and co-author of the study, titled "
Isotopic Evidence for Glaciation During the Cretaceous Supergreenhouse
." The study is published in the most recent issue of
The researchers used two independent methods to harvest the data on which they base their claim. Both studies used microfossils from the Cretaceous period and examined them for telltale signs of glacial melt. In one test, the researchers used ocean surface dwelling microfossils and subtracted the ocean surface temperature record from the stable isotope record found in the fossils.
The second method involved bottom-dwelling and near-surface microfossils known as foraminifera. Stable oxygen isotopes were measured in these tests and were found to support the theory of growing icecaps via changing ocean chemistry. Both tests support the conclusion, and fall in line with previous studies which show that sea level fell 25-40 meters at the same time as the ice sheets would have been growing during the Cretaceous.
The catalyst for glacial growth during such a hot period is still a mystery, but some suggestions found in the study are that unusually cool summers could have fostered growth in the mountains of the current Antarctic ice cap, or that increased moisture in the air from the greenhouse affect could have increased winter snowfall in high latitudes and elevations.
