|General Tao (human..not cyborg) vs. Hercule

Pookie Powa!
|Who would win between these human fighters. Hercule is pretty strong because he could break 13-15 tiles with his hand, but Tao also gave kid Goku a run for his money before he got taken out by his own bomb. So who would win?
|Nov 8 2006, 06:19 PM Post #2
Title Pending
|Although this would be close, I would have to go with Hercule, seeing as he did manage to win the reigning Tenkaichi Budokai Champion title.

Hail to the King
Tao wins this without a sweat.
I'll truly be surprised if Hercule could take on General Blue of the Red Ribbon Army, whom Tao defeated with his 'tongue'. (And then proceeded to rip a an iron piller down with a touch of his finger, then threw it with such force it exceed the speed of planes, travelled across a continent with his weight on him - Something Hercule would roll over and die if asked to do).

|I'd say General Tao too, Hercule is strong (for a human) but oh so weak compared to most other major fighters, including General Tao.

|General Tao... after seeing his way of transportation I can't see how Hercule could do that... unless he had some assistance.
Big thanks to .Revolution!

|I'm not sure about this one, but I guess Tao would win. He has the Dodan Ray, which would kill Hercule.

Training hard !!
General tao wins this. Hercule bea tout the competition at that tenkaichi budokai, but general tao is a cold blooded assasin. One of the best assasins in the dragon world for that matter.
yeah he's go dodon ray, bu why would he need to use that, if he can kill hercule with the a simple touch of the tongue ?

You have a point. If you think about it, Tao wouldn't have to use the dodan ray. Tao is stronger, by many amounts.
|Nov 10 2006, 05:12 PM Post #12
|General Tao would win because of his Dodon Ray and he is a lot quicker

I can see where you thought this would be a close battle, but it's really not. Hercule may be the World Champion, but Tao has the power to use energy attacks and melee that match even Kid Goku. Compare Kid Goku to Hercule...not so even now is it?
Tao would absolutely kill Hercule for this very reason. He can fly, shoot energy attacks, and use better melee attacks. So, Tao would definitely have to get my vote here.
|Jun 13 2011, 01:47 AM Post #14
|Tao For sure Hercule in the movie Bojack unbound couldnt break 18 peices of stone and tao could break a pillat with his finger and through it great lengths, also as people have stated Hercule probably couldnt beat general blue and tao killed him with his tongue

Was told to buy Acrylpro
I have a 13x13 foyer that I am wanting to tile. I have already measured and cut the backerboard to fit the area. I am aware that I am going to have to use the thinset under the backerboard and then screw down. Here is where my problem is.....I was told to use the AcrylPro to lay the tile, but every where I have looked on the internet is saying DO NOT use or you will be replacing or taking up tile and starting over. Can someone tell me the EXACT name of what ever it is that I need to use to lay the tile? I have a couple of bags that the "Home Depot" guy to me to get before I was told to get the AcrylPro. Help
You never mentioned what size or type of tile you are using----However the acrylpro is not a product to use--That is a premixed mastic---about the worst thing to use on a floor.
You want to use a modified thinset---comes in a bag as a powder--gets mixed with water using a strong drill and a mixing wand.
Bud Cline has a blog on this site titled MUD WHAT IS IT--or something like that--read that,nice explanation of thinset.
Let us know what tile or stone you are installing and someone here will give you an exact answer.
also.... what did the HD guy give you? It MAY be the right stuff! LOL
But... like Mike said.... more info needed, read Bud's Mud list, ask if you need to here, and you'll get what you need to do it right.
Sorry it took so long to get back with you, but the tiles are 12x12 ceramic. The bags that I have are Versabond, custom blend standard thinset and polyblend sanded grout.
Gee, you're a person of few words. :laughing:
So you're saying you have two types of thin set plus the Acrylpro? The Versabond is a decent modified mortar you can use to set the backer board and to install the tiles. The Custom Blend is a very cheap unmodified thin set, most of the professionals here refuse to use it in their own homes, but you can get away with using it for the backer. What brand backer do you have?
The Acrylpro belongs on those orange shelves hopefully to collect dust. The people who gave you advice should be doing something else. :censored:
So.....I can use the Versabond to lay the tiles??? Do I mix it as the same consistency as I do for the backerboard??? Or is there something better to use for the tiles? I will let you tell me what to use:)
The consistency to set tiles is about like peanut butter, or mashed potatoes. (but no lumps) It should be thinner to install the concrete backer. Don't forget the mesh tape for the seams and of course fasteners. What are you going to use as fasteners?
Better thin set? Versabond will work, just fine for 12" ceramic or porcelain tiles. If they were larger or natural stone, I would recommend something else.
One thing I would not do is to do give my money a company that doesn't care who they hire and so these nice people go ahead and just wing it. Paint department one day, tile expert the next. :no: I can't tell you how many get wrong advise from those stores. Actually they may be one reason these tile forums exist.:yes:
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions, and if this turns out good, I may go ahead and tackle my kitchen and bathroom:)
****And by the way, the "Home Depot" guy never said anything about buying tape and using it for the seams:censored: Thanks for telling me that also:) I know I can do this, I have until the 21st to get it done before my husband gets home:thumbup:
Oh, I am using sheet rock screws for the backerboard.....or are those the wrong ones also?
You can do this but make sure you get all the info you need and a good understanding of the techniques you are using before you start. Tiling is one of those things that looks fairly easy but there is a lot to know before you start. Then more to learn as you are doing it.
Do not use sheet rock screws. The heads are wrong, they are not strong enough, the heads can snap off, they will start to rust the second the thin set touches them. Use the specific screws for the backer brand you have, ( which is it?), or you can use 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" hot dipped roofing nails.
It is the Hardiebacker
There are specially-coated screws to be used with backerboards. Some are name-specific but not always easy to find. Go to the screw department and buy "cement board screws", the boxes are clearly marked. The screws will be gray in color, they will have a larger head than drywall screws. The screws will also have dual threads, one high one low and little nubs under the head that help to "set" the screw heads in the cement board. Buy the screws with the "square drive" DON'T BUY THE PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS. It will go better for you if you use a 1/2" low RPM drill motor for a screw gun, low speed and high torque is much to your benefit. Coated roofing nails are less expensive, less fatiguing and much faster.
There is also a seam tape available that is "alkali resistant" that should be used for taping cement board seams. Sometimes it is stocked with the cement board and sometimes it is stocked with the drywall supplies. The tape is a MUST!:) Install the tape just ahead of placing the thinset when tiling, this way you won't have any dry humps to cause the tiles to teeter.
Keep asking questions here and you'll do great. If you don't know or don't understand something...ASK.:) We are glad to help.
Ok guys, I have one more question.... what size trowel do I use for the tile thinset? I have 1/4 but that may not be the right one.
You're right, 1/4x1/4 is too small, I recommend a 1/4x3/8x1/4" for your basic 12" tile. It's very important to mix the thin set correctly and spread using the right technique. Do you know the right technique?
After applying a few tiles, you should remove one right away to check for at least 85% adhesive transfer. May need to adjust technique or change trowel if you do not get that amount of transfer.
BTW, Hardie really sucks, so it's a good idea to either mist or damp sponge it just prior to spreading thin set.

I actually was pleasantly surprised with this scent. i wasn't too impressed at first when smelling it straight from the bottle. After rubbing it on my fingers and letting it heat up through my natural body temperature, the scent got brighter. I can definitely smell the citrus and it is not overpowering or too sweet. I think it is just the right amount of citrus and not too spicy. I would recommend to wear this to an outdoors event during the spring or summer time.4

Princess Diana's Wedding Dress Arrives In Edmonton For Exhibit
The wedding dress worn by Princess Diana has arrived in Edmonton.
Arguably one of the most recognizable dresses in history, the white gown is part of a new exhibit, Diana: A Celebration, opening soon at West Edmonton Mall.
The dress was pulled from its crate Wednesday and will be just one of more than 150 artifacts featured in nine galleries when the exhibit opens this Saturday.
"It's the most famous wedding dress in the world," Nick Grossmark, exhibit curator, told CTV Edmonton.
"It was worn by a person who became one of the most important women in the world."
Story continues after the slideshow
The dress is made of six fabrics including 100 yards of tulle crinoline, 25 yards of silk taffeta and 150 yards of netting for the veil.
The dress and five matching bridesmaids dresses cost a total of about $1,900 (Canadian.)
The dress has the longest train for a royal wedding dress in history.
For good luck, a tiny horseshoe in 18-karat-gold and studded with white diamonds was sewn into the dress.
When created, the dress was valued at 9,000 pounds.
10,000 tiny mother-of-pearl sequins and pearls are hand-embroidered into the dress.
The dress now travels the world in a hermetically sealed travelling case.
Grossmark, along with fellow curator Graeme Murton, accompany the dress as it travels the world and are the only people permitted to touch it -- provided they are wearing white gloves, according to the Edmonton Journal.
In the months leading up to Princess Diana's wedding to Prince Charles, the dress was shrouded in secrecy, reports the Journal.
It was crafted by British dressmakers Elizabeth and David Emanuel and was fitted to Diana's exact specifications.
"She wanted a fairy-tale wedding dress," explained Murton to the Journal. "It had to have a big impact because (St. Paul's in London) was such a large cathedral."
While creating the dress, the Emanuels had the windows of their shop painted over and hired guards to watch over the trash and cart it away, so as to not leak any fabric details to the public.
"We hired two security guards to work in 12-hour shifts," referred to Diana using the code name "Deborah," and they held secret fittings and even two dress rehearsals inside the cathedral," David Emanuel told "The Today Show."
The dress still holds the record for the longest train on a wedding dress in royal history.
"When you come to the exhibition, you're very lucky that you actually see the royal train completely laid out in the case," Murton told CTV.
According to the Journal, Diana practiced for her wedding day by trailing six metres of cotton behind her, essentially recreating the weight of the train.
Diana: A Celebration, opens Feb. 9 and runs until June 9.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Wecome aboard FT. Good plan!
Newbie from MO
Greetings, I'm not only a newbie here but I'm fairly new to sailing. Did the powerboating thing years ago, so I'm not a boating novice.
But, after many years of no boat and going out on friends' boats I got the itch for the water again.
I learned sailing basics from a friend who had a Mac 26S here on the Alton Pool of the Mississippi River. Sailed there, on lakes and the Intracoastal Waterway around Ft. Walton Beach.
I'm no expert, but I can get from point A to point B.
My friend sold his Mac and got a Helms 27, and I'll be learning how to handle that.
Eventually my goal is to move to the Hampton Roads/northern NC area (my son lives there) and get my own boat and use it as a part time liveaboard until I can find permanent residence.
I realize I need to gain much more experience and ability and will probably getting some professional tutoring in the future. I realize I know just enough to be dangerous...LOL
Meanwhile I'll be hanging out, gleaning info from the salts, old and new.
Looking forward to the ride!

Jones pleading for another Irish chance
Ireland get their first chance to get used to the pitch at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, the home of their two group games in the World Twenty20, when they face New Zealand tonight in an official ICC warm-up game.
Although National coach Phil Simmons never reveals his line-up until the players get into the huddle in their warm-up around a hour before the start, two members of the squad will be keener than most to get a run-out tonight.
For Peter Connell playing against the country of his birth has, to date, been the stuff of nightmares.
In an ODI in 2008 he conceded 48 runs in his last two overs to finish with figures of 0-95 and in last year's World Twenty20 at Trent Bridge, he again opened the bowling, was hit for 14 in his first over and was not seen again. He is desperate to make amends.
In Nigel Jones' case, he just wants to play against anyone.
There are always one or two players in a 15-man squad who find themselves on the periphery and the Civil Service North captain finds himself on the outside looking in, having played in only one of the last four games and in that match he was out for a second ball duck and didn't bowl.
The Kiwi-born all-rounder admits he is running out of time if he wants to play against the West Indies in Ireland's tournament opener on Friday.
"From a personal point of view, I see myself as a top order batsman who bowls a bit but in the Ireland team I'm a guy who bowls a bit more and bats down the order," he said.
"Apart from the top three and a couple of the bowlers, no-one has a role as such.
"I have batted everywhere from four to nine and that is the nature of Twenty20 cricket, you need guys who nudge the ball and guys who look to clear the rope.
"I feel I can fit into both categories but probably didn't help myself in my last game.
"It was a bad day for everyone (the first match against Trinidad when Ireland were bowled out for 90) but not the greatest shot from me personally. If you come out and hit a six, people are asking what's going to happen here.
"When I came in, I think we were 70 with only eight (overs) left and we knew we had to double our score to give us any chance. You have to take your opportunity and you have to realise there are days when it won't happen."
And with Jones an absentee in the superb comeback win against the Twenty20 Champions League runners-up, the 28 year old admits he is pessimistic about starting tonight.
"After such a good win on Friday, a complete role reversal, it will be hard for Simmo to change the team," said Jones.
"All the bowlers bowled well and that's the luxury in our squad.
"There is so much variety with the ball that you have to put your hand up, otherwise you are probably going to have to sit it out which is the way it should be at this level."

Classic French Cassoulet – a classic and simple yet delicious casserole with beans, pork sausage and chicken breast. Serve this with a french baguette and salad.
It's February, Valentine's Day month. Time for sweets, time for flowers, time for love.
And I love this cassoulet. Forget the fancy French name. Cassoulet simply means casserole, so this is basically a French casserole with beans, pork and chicken. My kind of comfort food.
But first of all I'm glad it's February. Not that I celebrate Valentine's day or anything, because I don't believe in it, but because it's my birthday month. Honestly I hate the thought of getting older, though really I don't feel it, but I love getting gifts, who doesn't?
Do you guys all celebrate Valentine's Day? Here's how I feel about it. I believe that if your significant other wants to bring you flowers and chocolates or diamonds, he/she can do that any time of the year just because they want to, because they miss you or love you. And that my dears is how it should be, at least that's how I like it and I've been spoiled by my hubby, because he gets me flowers and gifts when I least expect it, and I love it! He's too good to me!
But back to this cassoulet! OK, I just love saying cassoulet, sounds so fancy. This French cassoulet is tres delicious and uses simple yet classic ingredients used in French cooking, such as leeks and wine. But deep down this cassoulet is beans, pork and chicken so don't let the name scare you off. But on the other hand, wouldn't this be a great Valentine's Day dinner? A classic French cassoulet? Mais oui!
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 Italian pork sausages, or similar
- 1 can (19 oz) white beans
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 leek, chopped (white and green part)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 small shallots, chopped
- 1½ cup water
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- ½ tsp herbes du provence
- salt and pepper to taste
- parsley for garnish
- Preheat oven to 325 F degrees.
- In a large oven proof heavy bottom sauce pot or Dutch oven brown the sausage over medium heat.You can also cut the sausage into smaller pieces if preferred, prior to browning them. Remove sausage and set aside.
- Cut the chicken in pieces and season them with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken in the leftover oil from sausages. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add onion, carrot, and leeks to the pot and saute until tender, about 4 minutes after which you can add the shallot and garlic and saute for an additional minute.
- Add the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping any brown bits from the bottom.
- Return the chicken and sausage to the pot. Add the beans, herbs, water and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Bring to a simmer then cover and transfer to the oven and bake for 2 hours.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite solder iron at SparkFun.
Interestingly enough, a significant number of "laser" accidents are actually caused by the associated electronics. Most of the supplies draw tens of amps, and a lot of the device electronics like piezoelectrics are high-voltage.
That said, eye safety really is key - especially with visible laser pointers, let alone the big lasers like these. Many are frequency-doubled (green from NIR) and don't filter the NIR light!
Just remember the two rules of laser safety - don't look into the laser beam, and don't chew on the power supplies. Laser accidents happen at the speed of light, you know.
I think I see my old lab notebook in one of those pictures…
No public wish lists :(

but what we have done has been an arabian delight (also the name of a great cocktail).
wed night was spent at gold souk the markets where gold shops are abound. the gold here is cheaper and the diamonds are all certified from antwerp also cheaper, but a lot of the gold has the rich yellow colour not commonly found in australia. you can bargain and a good tip is just under 40 dirhams per gram, this is dependant on gold price but at time of writing its $400USD an ounce. how its done is they weigh what you want and then tell you the price, you then take it from there how much you want to pay
thursday was spent with rob playing at emirates golf club, home of the dubai classic and louise sleeping in and then lazying by the pool. the golf course is different since there isnt really any rough in terms of trees, just basically sandy desert. its a good course not the toughest or best i have played (try the gold coast) but its worth playing when here if you are a golf nut.
picture this.....footprints in the golden sand, 4wd driving at sunset, camel rides, an arabian oasis full of food, drink and belly dancing. this was how we spent thurs night doing the arabian adventures dinner safari. Hyathan, was our driver for the evening. this company organises venture travels into the desert using GMC Yukon 4wd. they carry 6 passengers and the drive out to the desert is about 50km. you go out with around 15 cars in all and the first experience is 4wd bashing. louise asked hyathan who was from jordan where he got his drivers license from, to which he did not reply. in response he put her in the front seat, to get the full effect of the drive ahead!!!!!!
we reached the conservation reserve, deflated the tyres and commenced our desert dune bashing
travel tip: the cost is around $100 each but includes food, wine, beer, plus the 4wd bashing, and belly dancing
our last day of the holiday oh hum :-( was spent lazing around the pool of the hotel. we worked on our tans and spent the day going in and out of the water, a cocktail or two and some light lunch. later that night we ventured out to the burj al arab hotel (the one that looks like a sail) this hotel is on a island covering the grounds of the hotel, and is accessed by a small road about 150 mt long. you cant actually just walk into this hotel off the street. first you must make a reservation at one of the restaurants or bars (before you arrive) and spend at least 150 dirhams each (about $60aud). you get a taxi to the hotel which drops you at the welcome gate, you then tell the guys your name, and a golf cart will drive you if you dont want to take the short walk to the hotel. its pretty small inside the lobby area but the atrium inside with the rooms on two sides has a burswood hotel look about it. the water fountains inside are scented with rose water to give a delightful. we made a booking for the skyview bar on the 27th floor, the best place to take in the view. they dont do food, but at $20AUD a pop there drinks and service is as expected good. however, the skyview bar could be mistaken for the parramatta or bondi league club bar. it had a very vegas feel about it with coloured lights in the shape of sails for the ceiling and on the walls in the hallways leading into the bar it had lights flickering like it was on a braile board
if you dont mind the cost its worth doing, its very swanky and you get treated very well, so dinner or just drinks will wet your appetite.
travel tip: go just before sunset, venture to the 27th floor even if you have reservations at one of the other restaurants, and ask to just take a quick view from the window. you are not suppose to take photos whilst in the hotel but hey they can only ask you politely (as always) not to do it again.
and so comes to an end our wonderful holiday. its been a great journey and more so that we have been able to share it with you all. we recommend any of the cities we have seen and the tours we have done. we certainly had the time of our lives and hope you got something out of it too!!
until next time happy travels!!
rob and louise.

Audit Report Exposes Abuse of Classification SystemBreaking News
After the covert program was exposed, Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein imposed a moratorium on reclassification activities until an audit was conducted of the program. The ISOO audit report issued today found "a total of ten unrelated efforts to identify such records, which resulted in the withdrawal of at least 25,315 publicly available records."
The report found that 24 percent of sampled records were clearly inappropriate for continued classification, and an additional 12 percent were questionable classification decisions, but were withdrawn from public access nonetheless. Materials that had been created in unclassified form or correctly declassified were reclassified under these programs, and unclassified material was classified in order to cover up the reclassification program. Even in cases where the material met the standard for classification, ISOO concluded in many cases that "insufficient judgment was applied to the decision to withdraw the record from public access." The report also stated that all of the agencies that signed the secret MOUs now recognized that the agreements "should never have been classified in the first place."
Archive General Counsel Meredith Fuchs reacted by stating, "We are stunned to learn that this program is even larger than we were previously told. For the last two months we thought only 9,500 records were reclassified. In fact more than twice that number were reclassified, and we now know that re-reviews happened at Presidential libraries as well as at NARA and that between 24 and 36 percent of those should not have been reclassified."
Commenting on the specific findings, Fuchs noted, "This report confirms our fears that some Executive Branch agencies are willing to pour taxpayer dollars into efforts to control all information for all time without considering whether it is necessary or even feasible. Not only did this surreptitious reclassification program draw attention to information that otherwise would likely have remained obscure, but it did so at tremendous cost. I can't imagine that we are any safer today than we would be if this reclassification program had never taken place."
The report includes a list of recommendations to prevent abuses of the classification system in the future. These include implementation of a National Declassification Initiative, public transparency in re-review processes, additional training in equity recognition, return of the improperly reclassified records to public access, standardized procedures, and continued ISOO oversight. ISOO plans to issue, within 60 days, guidance regarding essential documentation for declassification actions.
Fuchs commented, "We need a rational program that can expedite declassification of historic materials and is not controlled by the territoriality of individual agencies, such as a National Declassification Initiative like that recommended by the Moynihan Commission on Secrecy in 1997. Any reclassification of material should be held to a very high standard."

hope all goes well will pray for you
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
hope all goes well will pray for you
lapband Dr said NO hernia...drained my band almost empty and said to give it a couple weeks and see if I feel better...well H*** I don't feel bad at all...just have a bulge in my belly...sigh...praying the insurance will let me see the DR of MY choice down in TX next!
Glad it's not a hernia and you're feeling good-but what can the bulge be if not a hernia? I hope Laura is doing well. She will surely miss you if you're moving to Texas!
I got a hernia after a verticle (old fashioned ) hysterictomy !!! But , they told me not to worry about it unless I started having pain. It's right in my belly button !!!! Take care and prayers indeed.
well, here is what the Dr. THINKS it is. When you have lapband you have an upper tummy called the POUCH and then your reg. tummy below that.Originally Posted by LoriEl
He says something is making my Pouch bloat. SO, I am now on a very limited/strict bland diet of mostly pureed/soft foods for 6 weeks!
Saints preserve me...good news is..if it is something I am eating, I can STOP eating it...get my band filled again and move on with my life. I should also be able to lose some more weight while on this eating plan..sigh...
As for Ms Laura...sigh..that woman...after I got her armed healed, she up and decided she needed to MOVE. To a retirement community called the civitan homes. So, had to spend 2 months getting her stuff sorted through, having her estate sale and now cleaning the house so it can go on the market! For not being her "family" she sure puts me through it at times! But she is doing well and LOVES her tiny new apt!
good news!!
Wishing you well, hope you get better soon.
At least now you won't have to worry about her! Not much anyway. Hope your new diet helps.
Still thinking about you, and praying your better.
I had colon cancer ( good now) but when your stomach or
colon are not right, you are not likely to be a happy camper. Hope your situation will be ok soon.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Vanilla VisaPO Box 826 Fortson, Georgia USA
Vanilla Visa Vaniila Visa basically stole my money Fortson Georgia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I purchased and registered a $75 Vanilla Visa gift card in April 2014. Bought one item on ebay for $14.82 shortly thereafter. When I tried to make another purchase several weeks later, the card was denied.
Puzzled, I called Vanilla Visa customer service. After I explained what had happened, the agent put me on hold for five minutes. After returning, he told me I could no longer use the card, that "someone" had reported the card as stolen.
My reaction - "What do you mean reported stolen? Who did that? It wasn't me and as the legal owner, aren't I the only person who can do that?" I gave him my name, address, dates I purchased and registered the card, the original purchase amount, name of the store where I bought the card, and the exact amount of my ebay transaction to verify I was card's legal owner, but none of that mattered. He said there was nothing he could do. Outraged, I said, "So I've done nothing wrong, but you're going to keep my money and there's nothing I can do?" He replied, "I'm sorry."
And that was that.

Foundation event raises $44,000 for education
Haywood County Schools Foundation now has more than $44,000 to spend on student scholarships and other education improvements following the fifth annual Mardi Gras Ball fundraiser.
The five candidates for Mardi Gras king and queen raised the money by holding fundraisers and asking people to donate money in their name. Greg Boothroyd, part owner and advertising manager of The Smoky Mountain News and Smoky Mountain Living magazine, and Beth Brown, owner of Beth Brown Photography and a vacation rental business in Maggie Valley, raised the most funding, making them the 2013 king and queen.
The other candidates included Ellene Francis, Greg Boothroyd, Michael Sorrells and Scotty Setser.
The Mardi Gras Ball has helped raise more than $120,000 for the foundation over the years. Each year a king and queen are crowned at the event. The 2012 king and queen were Jonathan Jorstad and Rhonda Schandevel.
Proceeds from the ball help the foundation raise money for student scholarships, needs in the classrooms of the 16 schools in the county and to retain highly qualified educators. Last year this event raised over $43,000. The foundation has been helping Haywood schools since 1984 and manages more than 65 scholarship funds. Last year more than $165,000 was awarded to 94 students.

I have significant shooting pain in the side of my right breast 4 days after Breast Augmentation. What is this from? (photos)
Hi, I had a breast augmentation under the muscle with 330cc MR silicone implants. I felt really good by day 3, but on days 4-5 I have had really awful shooting pains in the side of my right breast. It can happen even with very limited movement. There is also a circular mark on the side of each breast (it looks like a needle mark?!). Would you please be able to tell me what these issues might be a result of?? I have attached pictures for further information. Many thanks :)
Doctor Answers 6
Postop Pain
It is normal to have shooting pains after breast augmentation especially if the implants were placed under the muscle. This pain should improve with time and rest however I recommend that you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Be sure to keep your follow up appointments.
Web reference: http://www.ekimplasticsurgery.com/our-procedures/breast-augmentation/
You need to call your plastic surgeon and be seen immediately whenever you are experiencing new pain or prolonged bleeding.
Be well and good luck!

I have significant shooting pain in the side of my right breast 4 days after Breast Augmentation. What is this from?
Over the internet we can ONLY guess! Best to be seen by your surgeon ASAP to be evaluated in person. Follow up with us please...
You might also like...
Sharp pains and breast augmentation
Your problem sounds like a normal complaint at 4 days. Time, ice, and pain medicine can help. Ask your PS for their recommendation for treatment. The needle stick might have been from numbing medicine which I also use during the surgery to help with initial postoperative discomfort. Hang in there.
Muscular swelling can lead to sharp pains after breast augmentation!
If you are right handed then the pain on the right is more like due to the increased activity of the pectoralis muscle. Each provider treats this differently. Please call your surgeon.Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!
Your surgeon should be answering this question for you
since your surgeon knows exactly what put the mark on your skin. As for the shooting pains, it would be considered 'normal' and should subside with time. The things I worry most about after augmentation surgery are unexplained asymmetric swelling and infections.

(Note: I've been up since yesterday so this might not come across very coherent…)
In a couple weeks it will be two years since Darkfuse released my first novel Nursery Rhymes 4 Dead Children. A lot has happened since then: I've learned a lot, written and sold a ton of other novels and novellas and short stories, started writing under other names, and it's all gone by in what feels like the blink of an eye. I have a lot going on here at the moment, digging deep into this second novel I'm writing as Thomas Morgan, getting another novel ready for Darkfuse Publications, dreaming of how wonderful it's going to be to hit The World Mystery Convention in New York again later this year and get to talk to some of my literary heroes and hang out with my best buddy Shaun Ryan.
Pausing for a second to look back, I still think that the honesty in a writer's work, the honesty of their characters, and the pivotal moments in those characters' lives are what resonate with us as readers.
Click here to read a post I did a while back called "Remembering."
It's good to consider our roots.

Communities feel the impact of Avista employees' volunteerism
Click to read full Journal of Business article.
Post by
Jessie Wuerst
Across our three-state service territory and into western Montana, Avista employees are active volunteers in the communities where they live and work. In fact, in 2011 they logged more than 52,000 hours of community service in more than 1,000 organizations. Community partnerships are a valued part of Avista's culture, bringing value to both the people served and to the individual volunteer.
Historically, we've been pretty quiet about the positive impact our employees make through their community work. However, we think it's time that they get the recognition they so richly deserve for the important work they do both during and after work hours. Employee volunteerism is one element of Avista's Community Impact section of our 2012 performance report titled
"Together We Will Build Shared Value."
We encourage you to take a few minutes to read the report and if you feel so inclined, to
give us your feedback
Spokane's Journal of Business recently ran an article
highlighting four Avista employees and the volunteer work they do, including delivering Meals on Wheels and serving as a volunteer firefighter. It provides a good look at how Avista incorporates volunteerism into our company's business while providing a cadre of talented and dedicated individuals to the service organizations in the communities we serve. We hope you will join us in saying thank you to our employees for their service.

Gorge Dam, 90-year old Clyde Meredith,
who retired in 1984, rode alongside
Cabinet's current Chief Operator.
Avista employees and the community of Clark Fork celebrated our Independence Day and commemorated Cabinet Gorge 60th anniversary at the annual Clark Fork, Idaho - Fourth of July celebration last week.
Several of Avista's hydro operations and environmental resources employees and their families, a line truck, electric safety demonstration trailer and Bull Trout education trailer took part in the community's annual Fourth of July parade.
One of the original operators of Cabinet Gorge, 90-year old Clyde Meredith, who retired in 1984, was also in the parade. He rode alongside Cabinet Gorge's current Chief Operator, Don Wells in Clark Fork License Manager Tim Swant's 1965 Pontiac LeMans.
Avista helped support the community celebrations and fireworks, and donated a trailer-mounted BBQ to the Clark Fork Booster Club so they have a means of fundraising for many years to come.
We're proud to be a part of the community of Clark Fork for the past 60 years. Happy Birthday to America, and to Cabinet Gorge.

Granddaughter shines at Safety Saturday at Rogue Valley Mall
slide show
Safety is a family affair in Oregon
Post by
Dan Kolbet
Avista's commitment to safety extends beyond our workday and jobsite – all the way down to our grandkids. Last Saturday Avista's Eddie Randles recruited his 7-year-old granddaughter Arianna to help at Safety Saturday at the Rogue Valley Mall in Medford, Oregon.
Randles started the day with a Tailboard Meeting – just like employees who go out into the field to fix gas leaks or build new pipelines. (That's her focused, arms-crossed look in the picture.) The detailed briefing taught Arianna all of the natural gas display items for the event and how they work.
"She even installed my pressure gauge build-up on the gas meter and found a leak with the Rover," Randles said. "She was so versed in the different parts of the meter she was able to describe it to the Red Cross gentleman [see photo]."
The event was free and open to the public. Dozens of organizations provided information and exhibits, from document spreading to fire prevention to electric and gas safety.
Thanks Eddie and Arianna for going the extra mile for safety!
If you have a safety question about electric or gas, visit
our website for more information.
And don't forget to call 811 two days before you plan to dig.

Avista and Better Business Bureau alert customers to national utility scam
Imposters claim President Obama providing credits or applying payments to utility bills
Post by
Debbie Simock
Avista and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Eastern Washington, North Idaho and Montana are warning customers to be alert to a scam that has impacted utility customers in several states across the country. According to reports, imposters are claiming that President Obama is providing credits or applying payments to utility bills in an attempt to obtain social security numbers and bank routing numbers.
Utilities impacted by the scam also report that scammers have visited customers in person, posted fliers and used social media and texting to send this false message.
"We all should be vigilant in protecting our personal information at all times. That's why customers are reminded that Avista does not contact customers seeking personal information, and it is our policy to safeguard any information that we collect during the course of providing electric and natural gas services," said Mike Broemeling, Avista's director of customer service.
"You have the power and the right to safeguard your personal information and your home. Customers should trust their instincts and feel empowered to hang up the phone or request a stranger to leave their property if approached about scams like this," said Chelsea Dannen, public relations and media specialist for BBB.
Avista and the Better Business Bureau offer the following tips to avoid falling for this scam and others:
• Never provide your social security number, credit card number or banking information to anyone requesting it over the phone or at your home unless you initiated the contact and feel confident with whom you are speaking.
• If you receive a call claiming to be your utility company and feel pressured for immediate payment or personal information, hang up the phone and call the customer service number on your utility bill.
• Never allow anyone into your home to check electrical wiring, natural gas pipes or appliances unless you have scheduled an appointment or have reported a utility problem. Also, ask utility employees for proper identification.
• Always think safety first. Do not give in to high pressure tactics over the phone for information or in person to get into your home.

We're glad you asked! Avista debuts fourth annual Shared Value Report
Post by
Jessie Wuerst
Over the past few years, we've heard from our customers and employees that they want more information on how we do business in areas like utility operations, environmental stewardship and our community impact. We're glad you asked!
That information and more is available in our fourth annual report on our performance,
"Together We Will Build Shared Value,"
now online at avistautilities.com.
Our primary mission is to provide the energy you need for your life. The back story is all about what goes into providing that energy and how often this has additional benefits to the customers and communities we serve. That's shared value.
In this year's report, we tell many stories of how shared value is created throughout our business. For example, in the Utility Operations section we talk about how Avista must meet state-mandated energy savings targets. As part of our sustainable business practices, the report is
published online
We've made PDF files available of the entire report and four of its sections for your convenience in sharing the report with others.
Shared value is at the heart of what Avista does every day. We hope you'll take the time to read this year's report and give us your
. We want to hear from you about how – together – we can continue to build shared value.

Avista program will support small business and job creation
Post by
Jessie Wuerst
One of the best strategies for pulling out of the longest, deepest recession of our time is to enable broad-based innovation and entrepreneurship. That's why we're partnering with
Spokane Community College (SCC) to extend their unique entrepreneurship program
to other colleges throughout the region we serve. The Avista Business Entrepreneurship Network, in partnership with SCC and up to four other regional community colleges, will provide a continuum of education and ongoing support for budding entrepreneurs in Avista's service territory. This network leverages the successful curriculum established by the Avista Center for Entrepreneurship at SCC in 2007. To date, three additional community colleges have agreed to participate in the network and create entrepreneurship programs modeled after SCC, including Rogue Community College (Medford, Ore.), North Idaho College (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho), and Walla Walla Community College-Clarkston (Wash.).
The partnership created by the Avista Business Entrepreneurship Network will engage more people, leverage more resources, and accelerate quicker outcomes for greater impact in business development and job creation. Much like our investments to assure reliable energy delivery for our customers, this network is an investment in our region's future prosperity.
The Avista Center for Entrepreneurship at each participating college will receive an investment of $100,000 over three years to support the initial implementation of the program. These funds come from profits that Avista is allowed to earn and are not included in customer rates. Each college foundation will pledge matching dollars to help ensure the long-term financial sustainability of their respective program. SCC faculty will facilitate the curriculum development process with involvement from members of the Business Entrepreneurship Network.
In addition, Avista will create a micro-enterprise loan fund for students who successfully complete the program and create new businesses. Each college will also participate in recruiting a cadre of mentors, advisors and professional services providers who will provide ongoing business support. The SCC program is graduating its fifth class this June. The first classes in each of the other Avista Centers for Entrepreneurship are expected to begin in the fall of 2013.

Avista completes Greenbelt Trail safety lighting project
46 new trail lights a result of new natural gas pipeline serving Clarkston area
Post by
Dan Kolbet
The lights on the left are a few of the 46 new lights
Avista installed on the Greenbelt Trail in Clarkston.
Avista recently installed the last of 46 safety lights along the Greenbelt Trail in Clarkston, Wash. The new lights turn on at dusk and help illuminate the popular recreation area. The project was born out of Avista's new 2.8-mile natural gas pipeline extension in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley that will help reinforce gas service to Avista customers in the Clarkston area.
In order to install the new pipeline, Avista needed access to land managed by the Army Corp of Engineers. As in-kind consideration in lieu of fees for conducting this project, Avista agreed to install 46 lights along the trail from Chestnut Beach to Swallows Boat Ramp parking lot, at an approximate cost of $71,500.
"The new natural gas pipeline in Clarkston is great for the reliability of our service to customers in the area," said Avista Regional Business Manager Mike Tatko. "But the Greenbelt Trail lighting project is another very visible benefit to Avista customers and all area residents who use the trail."
The natural gas pipeline project began in mid-July 2011 and was in service by December 2011, just in time to provide heat to homes and businesses during the colder winter months. The lighting work began in December 2011 and was completed on March 16, 2012.
Avista owns and will maintain the lights along the trail.

Avista recognized as 'Child Advocate of the Year'
Post by
Jessie Wuerst
Anne Marie Axworthy, director of Consumer Affairs and Avista
Foundation Executive Director Kristi Meyer, guide Avista's
philanthropic activities, including the support of educational
programs that garnered the company the "Child Advocate of
the Year" honors from Providence Sacred Heart Children's
Over 300 people came together in a banquet room in Spokane last week to have a little fun, eat a little candy and raise some serious money for the Providence Sacred Heart Children's Hospital to expand pediatric services. As part of that celebration, Avista was recognized as a "Child Advocate of the Year," one of four honors given out that day and the first and only one given to a corporation in the history of the award.
In granting the award, Sacred Heart host Kathy Maurer said, "Avista Corporation, through the Avista Foundation, has been a community leader in supporting K-12 education, particularly in the fields of science, math and technology; and higher education, including scholarships. The Foundation provides college scholarships for engineering, IS and the crafts; increases the pipeline of kids seeking engineering and technical careers by increasing interest in math, science and technology; and provides opportunities for underserved kids to seek a college education."
"This is a wonderful honor for Avista and for the employees who are the arms and legs and talent of our company in the communities we serve," said Anne Marie Axworthy, director of Consumer Affairs and president of the Avista Foundation. "We're all committed to working with organizations that support opportunities for children to have dreams, and, importantly, to help make them come true as they grow into contributing members of society."

A high-profile cast, a vaguely interesting hipster ring-in, plus the talents of one Seth Rogen (co-writing with Superbad collaborator Evan Goldberg) suggest this comedy sci-fi should be a crowd-pleaser; at the very least, one that's easy on the brain, in a Zoolander sort of way, and big on laughs.
Alas, Saturday Night Live director Akiva Schaffer, despite impressing some with his 2007 debut Hot Rod, doesn't stay focused on proceedings (he's not helped by a dog of a script). Shockingly weak on comedic smarts, sharp timing or even engaging performances, this vintage-inspired genre mash-up (assuming they did see Ghostbusters, and laughed) stalls early and doesn't recover.
|Reviewer rating

|Comedy, Sci-Fi
|Akiva Schaffer
|Jared Stern, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg

|OFLC rating
|Yet to be classified
|Run Time
Suburban dads who form a neighbourhood watch group as a way to get out of their day-to-day family routines find themselves defending the Earth from an alien invasion.
Full synopsis
Stiller, as Evan, leads the charge after seeing a fellow Costco superstore employee splattered in gruesome fashion by an extraterrestrial. Forming a neighbourhood-watch force with like-minders Bob (Vaughn), Franklin (Hill) and Jamarcus (Ayoade), Evan decides to wage war on the ETs. Cue a series of send-ups and cliche gags that veer alarmingly fast towards the tired and overdone. White picket-fenced backyards are no longer safe. The Watch are apparently here to set things straight.
Some of the blame for the comedic misfires must fall at the feet of the so-called A-listers, whose fire evidently dimmed some time ago. Now close to 50, Stiller needs to step back, take stock and reboot his shtick, as does Vaughn (Swingers being his high point - and a distant memory).
Hill's National Rifle Association persona, on the other hand, simply feels tasteless and inappropriate, irrespective of the horrific headlines that continue to dog the US.
The supporting cast - Ayoade from TV's IT Crowd before directing the festival favourite Submarine and DeWitt livening up the current Your Sister's Sister - inject a degree of light relief, if nothing but from a curiosity factor. Ayoade is typically oddball and fey; DeWitt is a roughly cut diamond begging for bigger and better things. Most audiences will not be overly familiar with either, but their presence offers a redeeming quality of sorts - although not enough.
Perhaps no-brainer, gross-out boys' comedies are simply old hat. The crew here appears more interested in beer and goofing about than saving their planet. Last year's Bridesmaids reminded us that inappropriate humour doesn't have to be offensive or dumb. A female director could have shaken up the all-male formula. Here, it seems, they're too content to cruise.
Rated MA, 102 minutes, opens Thursday
Stars: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, Richard Ayoade, Rosemarie De Witt

Khloe Kardashian made he debut on Vine yesterday with a video where she's topless shrieking "Glam!" and "Get your tits rubbed!" all while smiling for the camera.
Well, although it's pretty annoying, the Kardashian is topless…or does the annoyance of her shrieking cancel out the topless part. You be the judge.

What's Wrong With the Paleo Diet?
I came across an article at Raw Food Health titled, "What's Wrong with the Primal Diet and Paleo Diet?" I don't doubt that it was written with the best of intentions, yet it is clear it was written by someone lacking intimate knowledge of what is considered a Paleo Diet or Primal Diet, today.
They don't grok Grok.
Can you imagine anyone who understands the Paleo / Primal approach saying this:
The primal diet, sometimes referred to as a raw meat diet, neolithic diet, paleo diet, or even as an extreme low-carb diet, stems from the correct belief that the processed, cooked foods modern humans rely on are harming us and causing disease, and that going back to the type of diet our ancestors lived on prior to the advent of civilization (which occurred only about 10,000 years ago, an eye blink in the history of the species) will relieve [sic] us of the diseases we suffer from.
First of all, there's all kinds of meta-wrong with with saying the "primal diet [is] sometimes referred to as a neolithic diet." Wtf? Also, the Paleo diet doesn't advocate going back to a pre-civilization diet. No, get it straight, it's a pre-agriculture diet. That might be splitting hairs, but I have no beef (so to speak) with civilization.
These errors, along with confusing Paleo / Primal as raw-food advocates make the article suspect. It goes on to say that the Paleo diet attempts to ape the fringe, meat-based diet of the Inuit. Then, after building its straw man, the article points out the following about the Inuit:
Old age sets in at fifty and its signs are strongly marked at sixty. In the years beyond sixty the Eskimo is aged and feeble. Comparatively few live beyond sixty and only a very few reach seventy. Those who live to such an age have spent a life of great activity, feeding on Eskimo foods and engaging in characteristically Eskimo pursuits.
– quoting Samel Hutton, based on his observations between 1902 & 1913
So, old age was setting in at 50 and strongly so at 60. That means the people he was observing were born around 1850. Let's see what life expectancy in the U.S. was during that time period.
Year Born / Life Expectancy (according to InfoPlease)
1850 / 38.3 yrs
1890 / 42.5 yrs
1900 – 1902 / 48.2 yrs
1903 – 1911 /50.2 yrs
So, Hutton is referring to a group of people who were born at a time when the average life expectancy was only 38.3 years, and he is saying old age sets in at around age 50. And that's supposed to be negative, how?
Lierre Keith's Vegetarian MythAccording to the article, forget about the Inuit, let's look at the much healthier Yanomamao of the Amazon, whose health and longevity "impressed" scientists. Their diet? Fruits, vegetables, tubers, and meat. So, essentially…a Paleo Diet. And this group is being used as counter-example of the Paleo Diet's efficacy? OK.
I wasted my time with that article, so you don't have to. But, if you insist on reading a very poor analysis of the Paleo Diet, here's the link: http://www.raw-food-health.net/Primal-Diet.html
For a far superior analysis of the Vegetarian / Vegan approach, see Lierre Keith's, The Vegetarian Myth. I purchased the book several months ago and plan to discuss various segments in upcoming posts — and there's a good story behind why I purchased the book in the first place.

ENCINITAS — Rusty Miller, surfing legend who grew up in Encinitas and was the United States Surfing Champion in 1965, will be talking about and signing books from 3 to 5 p.m. May 18 at Hansen's Surf, 1105 S. Coast Highway 101. "Turning Point" is Miller's first book."Turning Point" is a collection of photographs taken by Rusty of some of surfing's most iconic characters, capturing an era in surfing's history. Miller moved to Australia in 1970. Half of the images were taken at the 1970 World Surfing Championships at Bells Beach, Australia and the other half a year later at Byron Bay/Lennox Head, Australia. From Bells to Byron, he tells the stories of each portrait as do the people captured in the photos. Miller, not known as a surfing photographer, has taken images that are evocative portraits of the people at that time. In addition to the visuals, "Turning Point" is a collection of surf history. In Encinitas, Miller is remembered as having been one of Hansen's first sponsored surfers in the 1960's, along with Mike Doyle and Linda Benson. As Dave Rastovich says of Miller's book, "Surfing culture's sense of community and cool are at the centre of Rusty's photographs from this turning point in surfing's time line."

Demodex and immune support

Hey all. I got a foster puppy today from Puerto Rico. He is 5mo GSD with itchy generalized demodex. I need some things to help boost his immune system to do in conjunction with tradition medicines. Before he came here he was on ivomec and cephalexin. I will start both of those again. But I would like to know, aside from a good probiotic and omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, if there is something else I can add to help this poor dude.
I did give him a Benadryl tonight, it's all I have, to hopefully help with the itching.
One caveat. I am not going to go crazy. Just looking for a few things, to help. He will be fed kibble.
Neem oil? ACV? Added to food or sprayed on him?
This is a very very nice puppy, he will find a home quickly and I want to support him in his healing as much as possible until that time.
Please ignore my yard. This winter has been evil to it. It is normally a bit nicer looking.

It's a Match!
We recently learned about a 12-year-old consulting firm that we thought our readers ought to know about. Personal Business Advisors assists senior executives who have left or intend to leave the corporate world for one reason or another and wish to try their hand at something that is a little more entrepreneurial. They assist their clients in finding just the right opportunity, whether it be a senior level job, an investment in a franchise, or – and this is what we found really interesting – an investment combined with a "C" level or senior position with an early stage company.
Over the years, hundreds of entrepreneurs have hired us to help communicate the business and investment opportunities represented by their businesses. Many of them are scientists and innovators, and really need both management talent and capital to achieve their goals. So, working with PBA might just be the one stop source for capital and management that many entrepreneurs are looking for. And, don't think that PBA only works with executives and entrepreneurs in the U.S. In fact, they have been very active in a number of other countries throughout the World.
A testimonial from the PBA website reads "I would like to offer this letter of recommendation to you and the entire team of advisors at Personal Business Advisors. Raising funds and finding executive talent to join the start-up team at our software company is extremely challenging on our own and in these difficult economic times. I have been so pleased with the quality of service and the caliber of potential candidates presented to us over the last 3 years."
According to ExecuNet's 2012 Executive Job Market Intelligence Report, the "top 10 industry growth sectors for executive hiring show continued strength in healthcare, technology and life sciences, but major gains are also expected for the manufacturing, business services, and consumer products sectors in 2012." These industry groups correspond very closely with the profile of the entrepreneurs who visit our website every day.
We heard about Personal Business Advisors from Don Johnson who is, himself, a former senior executive with a major NYSE listed Fortune 50 company. Don is now an Executive Senior Advisor with the firm. He mentioned that "this is a terrific opportunity to bring together very talented senior level executives and just the right entrepreneurial experience."
If you are a senior executive looking for an entrepreneurial opportunity where you can bring management experience and capital to an emerging company, or if you are a young company in need of experienced management talent, you should contact Don at donwjohnson (at) cox (dot) net.

Suri Cruise's "Lonely Life" Fabricated by Sad, Clueless Tabloid
In Touch continues its baffling war on six-year-old Suri Cruise this week. The tabloid's history of making things up about the little girl is extensive.
In Touch has wrongly claimed Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes bought Suri a $100,000 tree house, falsely reported she was writing a children's book, and inaccurately alleged she'd been given a pony and diamonds for Christmas.
But what the mag really loves to do is report about how "lonely" and "unhappy" Suri supposedly is. That's why In Touch dusted off a false story from almost exactly one year ago and essentially re-printed it now.
According to the tabloid, Tom Cruise has plans for his 50th birthday on July 3, but he'll be celebrating in Iceland, where he's shooting Oblivion. His absence "seems to be taking a toll" on Suri, claims the mag. A so-called "family friend" says that Suri's "recent public outbursts" are proof of how much her dad's travel is affecting her.
"Suri was having a complete meltdown at a recent photo shoot for Katie until Tom stopped by unexpectedly," explains the In Touch source. "He picked her up and she was suddenly fine."
If you're hoping for more "evidence" for Suri's "lonely life," don't hold your breath — the magazine provides nothing else. Suri Cruise — who is, remember, only six years old — had one (alleged) crying fit, which In Touch interprets as a sad, isolated existence marked by constant "outbursts." A rep for the family tells Gossip Cop the latest mag portrayal of Suri is simply "not true." Meanwhile, we wonder how "lonely" it must be for In Touch to speculate incessantly about the emotional life of an elementary schooler.

The Bob: A Look of Liberation
_If you're looking for a versatile shorter style, you might opt for a bob. Brush up on this timeless cut with Groupon's exploration._
In 1909, a Polish-born Parisian hairdresser known simply as Monsieur Antoine one day found inspiration in Joan of Arc's pageboy hairstyle, a cropped cut she snipped herself to blend in with the knights of her era. Thus the bob began its trajectory into an iconic do. Easier to style and less traditionally feminine-looking than the long styles of the time, the cut maintained an edgy reputation for decades to come. It spread like wildfire among artistic, independent-minded women, and European ladies as prominent as Coco Chanel began chopping off their tresses.
In the same decade, a new wave of popularity swept through the United States by accident. Dancer Irene Castle, known for popularizing ballroom dance and for her fashion savvy, cut off her hair prior to having her appendix removed to avoid having to comb it while recuperating. Once healed, she ventured out in public with chin-length, slightly curly locks and set off scores of imitators.
The cultural persona with the most enduring connection to the bob may be the 1920s flapper as exemplified by silent siren Louise Brooks, for whom the hairstyle complemented more streamlined dress silhouettes and an image as a fun-loving rule-breaker. After that, the bob went decidedly mainstream: Hollywood starlets of the 1930s begin sporting softer, more feminine bobs on screen, and the style took on more volume—and even more hairspray—with the teenagers of the 1950s. Today, the style has lost its rebellious edge, but it still evokes female independence—as many a powerful boss or businesswoman of TV or film can demonstrate.
