Maintaining my curls
Hi there,
My hair type is between 3b and 3c and I'm trying to find out what the best way is to maintain my curls. I used to wash my hair every day or wet my hair to comb it, but that seemed to cause a lot of dryness and breakage. My hairdresser told me to comb my hair before going to bed and braid it. I've been doing that for a while now and it seems to reduce de breakage, but I've read not to comb your curls when they are dry. Since I've been combing it my curls are not as curly anymore. What I'd like to see is the same effect as when I just washed my hair, more kinky curls, not wavy ones.
Can someone please help me out?!
Welcome! We're glad to have you.
Are you combing when your hair is dry? I wouldn't do that. Just pull it back in a loose braid, as is, at night.

WASHINGTON -- Italian restaurant Casa Nonna is venturing into tasting menu territory with its latest offering, Tavola 12, a constantly-changing 12-course meal billed as an "Italian omakase."
Omakase, of course, is a Japanese phrase that roughly translates to "I'll leave it you." In Japanese restaurants, ordering it means letting the chef send out a number of small dishes left completely to his choosing.
At Casa Nonna, located near Dupont Circle, it works the same way with chef Amy Brandwein at the helm. Dishes change on a whim, depending on the ingredients available and the mood Brandwein is in.
Plan ahead if you want to try the experience out: It's only served at a 12-seat bar in front of the open kitchen, and then only on Friday and Saturday. It'll run diners $55 a person, plus $30 with wine pairings.
Take a look at the below gallery for a sense of what might be served, but fair warning: Brandwein might already be cooking up something new.

Atlanta, Ga. -- McCamish Pavilion
Tuesday, 9 p.m.
ACC Network (Bob Rathbun and Dan Bonner)
"We were definitely a better team and we're playing better. The freshmen have done a good job of growing up on the court just as players and understanding the urgency that you have to play with every possession in this league. And we are still at our best when our upper classmen play well for us." - Georgia Tech head coach Brian Gregory on his team's four wins over the last seven games
"They have played extremely well the last few games that they have gone to that smaller lineup. It's a difficult matchup, and it is for just about anybody. Even if you put a guard on P.J. [Hairston] or [Reggie] Bullock, those are two of the best offensive rebounders around, so they can just bully guys off." - Gregory on UNC
Since the Last Meeting: Georgia Tech enters Tuesday's contest with a 14-10 (4-8 ACC) record. Since losing to North Carolina on Jan. 23, the Yellow Jackets have won four of their last seven games, including home wins over Wake Forest (82-62) and Virginia (66-60) and road victories over Virginia Tech (64-54) and Wake Forest (57-56). Georgia Tech's three losses during that stretch were by a combined eight points.
Spreading the Wealth, What Little There Is: Seven different Yellow Jackets have led their team in scoring over the last nine games. While balance is a good thing, that statistic may speak more to the struggles of Gregory finding a consistent scoring option. No player is averaging double figures during ACC play and freshman Marcus Georges-Hunt is the lone player averaging more than 10 points (10.8) on the season. Georgia Tech ranks 10th in ACC games in free throw percentage (63.5) and 3-point field goal percentage (31.7) and 11th in field goal percentage (39.4).
Rookies Leading: Freshman forward Robert Carter is second behind Georges-Hunt in scoring with a 9.8 points-per-game average. The duo is on track to become just the sixth rookie tandem in ACC history – third in school history – to rank 1-2 on its team in scoring. Fellow freshman Chris Bolden ranks third on team in conference play with 9.2 points per game.
Improvement Cleaning the Glass: The Yellow Jackets struggled on the backboards during their 0-5 start in conference play. Since that time, however, Georgia Tech has been more effective on the glass, jumping from a minus-4.0 rebounding margin to a plus-2.7 edge over its last seven games. Four different players – Daniel Miller (6.9), Carter (6.8), Georges-Hunt (5.1) and Kammeon Holsey (4.8) -- rank in the ACC's top-25 rebounders.
McCamish Pavilion: North Carolina will play in the newly-named McCamish Pavilion for the first time on Tuesday. The $50 million renovation to Alexander Memorial Coliseum was announced in October 2010 and opened two years later. The court remains named after former longtime coach Bobby Cremins and seating capacity is now 8,600.
Last Meeting: UNC defeated Georgia Tech, 79-63, on Jan. 23. P.J. Hairston led the Tar Heels with 15 points and James Michael McAdoo added 14. Reggie Bullock spurred a 15-2 run that broke open a four-point game just before halftime. UNC shot 42.8 percent (30-of-70) and forced 19 turnovers.
Series History: North Carolina leads the all-time series with Georgia Tech, 62-24. The Yellow Jackets have won six of the last seven meetings in Atlanta.

Global Science Report is a feature from the Center for the Study of Science, where we highlight one or two important new items in the scientific literature or the popular media. For broader and more technical perspectives, consult our monthly "Current Wisdom."
About a year ago, a major paper appeared in a high-profile scientific journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, claiming a link between genetically modified corn and cancer in rats. The findings were published by a research team led by Gilles-Éric Séralini of the University of Caen in France. It was widely trumpeted by people opposed to genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Simply put, making a GMO dramatically accelerates the normally slow process of traditional plant breeding, which takes many generations to stabilize some desired new trait in the plant genome, making the philosophical objections to it seem somewhat naïve.
While Séralini's finding was heralded by anti-GMO activists as an "I told you so," the paper was promptly, harshly, and widely criticized by geneticists and the general scientific community, many of whom lobbied the journal directly to address the shortcomings in the paper.
The most stinging criticism is going to sound painfully like what we see so often in environmental science, where researchers purposefully design an experiment likely to produce a desired results. Two months ago we documented a similar process that pretty much guaranteed that the chemical currently the darling of green enrages, bisphenyl-A, would "cause" cancer.
In Seralini's case, the research team used a strain of rats with a known strong proclivity to develop cancer if left to age long enough, which is what they allowed, obeying the maxim that "if you let something get old enough, it will get cancer."

Gary did a great job and was true to his estimated delivery schedule (6 to 8 wks). I put a "spare" 1911 commander in it wrapped in wax paper last night to break it it. I am really impressed with the quality. It fits like a glove and even in the brand new state it is so comfortable you hardly know that you are wearing it
Great job Gary, I'm thinking about getting another one.

A few weekends back I threw a baby shower for a dear mama friend of mine. She was having her third baby, and her first shower. I vacillated over what 'kind' of shower to throw. Formal? No kids, only women? GAME SHOWER! Lots of "don't say baby!" and smelling candy in a diaper? Or some hybrid new age BBQ with Dad's and beer (Uh, I am a fan of that kind of shower, FYI)? Or something else. . .
Well, procrastination won out (shocking?), and the shower was a low key success. But while planning it and stressing over not having enough details and games, I let it go and planned the kind of shower I would want. And learned a few things that I think make for a really nice friend baby shower.
1. Don't over plan. If this is a group of friends then chances are the time will be filled with lots of gabbing, laughing, crying (if your like me), and eating. You won't need stuff to "fill" the time.
2. At least one cheesy fun thing. For us it was a "spoon" test to predict the baby gender! Super quick, fun, full of funny lore, and exciting.
3. Good food! I went the easy way out and hosted a potluck, my friends? THEY CAN COOK! Lots of other mamas brought stellar snacks and I made mini bacon fat peach pies and got some donuts from a tasty local shop.
4. Serve booze. Just because she's pregnant doesn't mean you have to hold the mimosas. In my opinion? never hold the mimosas.
5. Make it kid friendly in some capacity, not everyone can/wants to leave their kiddos behind on the weekend. What we did was had Charlie and the Dad to be (third time over) hang out in the back yard with pizza, snacks, and whatever kiddos came. They had their own daddy daycare going with the benefit of Mama's inside to help out whenever things got hairy. Just be sure to stock them up with snacks!
6. Henna. Just do it. The results are so beautiful, meaningful, and fun! Our Mama of honor got a beautiful belly design and then each attendee also got a small henna design (matching) that they could look on and have to remember to pray and think on our friend while she labors.
7. Accept help. A friend to bring favors? sure! Wants to pick up a coffee service? yup! You happen to have some darling bunting? I'll take it! It takes a village guys!
8. Enjoy it! If you, the host, are having fun; Chances are your guests are too.
And, also, beware. Having a gorgeous pregnant belly getting hennaed feet from you? It WILL make your baby fever burn with the heat of a thousand suns. You've been warned.

What bowling alleys have you bowled at?
Something else?
Most Popular
Park Tavern (3 people or 50%)
Lariat Lanes (2 people or 33.3%)
Flaherty's Arden Bowl (1 person or 16.7%)
This is how everybody answered:
Matthew Beckler uses Flaherty's Arden Bowl
Located in scenic Arden Hills, a suburb of Minneapolis, this bowling alley is very classy, and has great deals on food and drink on weekday nights.
Andrew Frenz uses Lariat Lanes
This is a smaller bowling alley. The scoring computers are a bit dated, but work. On Wednesday nights after 8 they have $2 bowling, $2 shoes.
Jonathan Frenz uses Park Tavern
I've been bowling at Park Tavern at the same party as Drew every year for a while. I like the place. They have pretty good food (actually the chicken wings are too hot if i remember correctly).
Drew Frenz uses Park Tavern
I have been to Park Tavern on several occasions. My parents have held their company Christmas party here for the last three years, and I have been here a couple other times as well. The prices aren't bad, but watch out if you're under 21 (like me), because they become 21+ after (I think) 9 PM. So don't plan on staying late.
Andrew Frenz uses Park Tavern
Just went there on a double date for dinner and bowling. We ate on the patio outside - the food was excellent and super cheap. I got a bacon chicken sandwich with fries - it was huge! There are lots of bowling lanes, its clean, and the crowd is classier than most bowling lanes I have been to. On a Saturday night, it was $4/game and $3 for shoes. They have free bowling on Monday nights after 9.

I have now got SMS messages coming through into iDrive from my iPhone 4 with IOS6 on my 2011 335i.
You need to get the latest Bluetooth update from
, enter your VIN and put the firmware bin file on a USB stick and upload the file into your iDrive via the BMW Firmware Update section.
SMS messages will only work as the email part of the new IOS 6 pushing emails thru to the iDrive has a bug.
Delete the existing iPhone pairing and re-do.
Under Settings, Bluetooth in your iPhone, go to the devices connected where it shows your BMW has paired, open that and turn on "Show Notifications".
Then under Settings in your iPhone go to "Notications" then under each heading "Phone" "Messages" "Mail" make sure you have the following turned on:
Notification Centre ON
Alert Style Alerts
Badge App Icon ON
Show Preview ON
View in Locked Screen ON
In iDrive you also need to tick "Office" in the bluetooth options. Then you get 3 options under "Office" in the main iDrive menu (Contacts, Office Today and Messages) where you can filter messages.
The TXT messages will only transfer to your idrive when your iPhone goes to sleep and has a blank screen (Locked) hence the View in Locked Screen, without this setting and your iphone has turned itself to Locked will the message be transferred, if you open the iPhone to view the messages they won't transfer to the iDrive, iPhone must turn itself to lock so set your iPhone to lock after 1 Minute in settings.
Emails are the same but that has a bug at the moment. Hopefully this should be fixed by Apple soon as it was working in their beta IOS6.
I'm pretty sure you need cars fitted with the Combox interface, so that means only recent models.

The mail can be really unpredictable. I sent two boxes out priority a week before Christmas. My sis in AL got hers in 2 days while it took over a week for missbanjo to get hers and she is closer to me. I was really starting to worry it was lost somewhere because of the difference.

THE TONIGHT SHOW Sets Nine-Week Highs In 18-49 Demo and Total Viewers for Week of Aug.11-15

Review University at Buffalo, SUNY
The University at Buffalo is a great research institution with affordable tuition. I received my BA from UB and decided to return to pursue my Master of Social Work degree (UB's School of Social Work is one of the top 50 in the nation). The size of the university can be intimidating, so it's definitely important to find a community within the university. For example, I majored in Gender Studies for my undergrad degree, which was a small major so I was able to get to know people in a smaller setting. I've enjoyed being able to meet people from around the country and around the world, as UB has a large population of international students. There are tons of opportunities to get involved with research which is super exciting! UB has endless opportunities which I am very grateful for!
Intelligent, conscientious, and focused students. There are so many intelligent people here I at first I felt like I wouldn't fit in because everyone is so smart! I think what I like best about UB is if you're a shy or a geek, you'll fit in right away and no one judges each other here since everyone is so worried about getting good grades. If you want to study at UB you have to make a serious conscious commitment to research and learning. Students are polite and mindful that their studies come first. Diversity and culture are huge here, and a wide variety of food so you will never get bored. There is also a bank, CVS, and a variety of shops on campus and an internal bus system and tunnels in the North Campus. It is truly a secret gem of an institution hidden away to focus on research.
The university has a long list of programs so it is easy to find clubs, activities, and academic programs that apply to your individual interests and needs. It is easy to become involved on campus and there are a lot of networking opportunities. The staff engages with their students very well for such a large school, and the university does a great job at getting information out to its students. The dorms are nice and a good size for the amount of people they hold. The food is very good and the meal plans are sensible. University at Buffalo has a lot to offer its students academically and socially. There are plenty of on campus events to entertain the students and the staff does a good job at making students feel at home. There is also work study available for students that may need assistance in paying for college and school related expenses. This school has so much to offer and can really lead to a successful career!

Danny Collins and Barrett Barnes Win Player of the Week Awards

Danny Collins and Barrett Barnes have both won player of the week awards in their respective leagues. Barnes was named the South Atlantic Player of the Week, while Collins was named the New York-Penn League Player of the Week.
Barnes hit .350 with two homers and nine RBIs in four games. The SAL had a shortened week due to the All-Star break. Barnes came up big in one game, homering twice, which fueled his chances of winning the award.
Collins started off his pro career hot, batting .370 with four homers in the first week of the NYPL season. Collins was drafted in the 13th round out of Troy as a first baseman. He was the top hitter in the Pirates' minor league system last week for his performance. He als...

Straight from the USA: Ford Tonka (top) dwarfs all for size, while the Chrysler Pacifica (bottom left) and Pontiac Solstice (bottom right with GM executive Bob Lutz driving) come from different directions.
8 January 2002
By MARTON PETTENDY in DETROIT
MOTOWN'S three traditional heavy hitters, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler, presented Detroit motor show goers with three very different approaches to showcasing their future wares this year.
While GM's new product guru and second-in-charge Bob Lutz pulled the covers off three striking new, innovative lifestyle concepts - not one of them a Sports Utility Vehicle - and Chrysler revealed what it described as "the next great segment buster", Ford was busy unveiling the "mutha" of all pick-up trucks.
Undoubtedly aimed at domestic consumption, they are nevertheless a fascinating insight into the designing futures of America's big three.
Ford F350 Tonka truck
The ultimate expression of the American obsession with trucks is Ford's Mighty F-350 Tonka concept, a super-duty pickup with dual 22-inch rear wheels, suspension seating and powertool-sized switches, plus deployable running boards and air suspension with "kneeling" function to assist entry/exit.
Tonka isn't all for show, however. It heralds important next-generation diesel technology for Ford, packing a 6.0-litre turbo-diesel V8 with 32 valves. Called the Power Stroke Super-600 concept, the new engine produces around 270kW and will eventually replace Ford's current 7.3-litre turbo-diesel V8.
Chevrolet Bel Air convertible
A front-engined, rear-drive two-door convertible, the Bel Air is faithful to the iconic Chevrolets of the 1950s. Interior design cues of the original are rife within, including bench seats, twin-element instrument panel and steering column-mounted gearshift.
It's propelled by a Vortec 3500 turbocharged five-cylinder concept engine based on the inline engine family found in GM's mid-size off-roaders.
Cadillac Cien supercar
Described as glimpse at what a future halo car for Cadillac could be, the exotic, carbon-fibre-framed Cien is also a reminder of Cadillac's 2002 centennial celebration ("cien" meaning 100 in Spanish).
Cien's new all-alloy 7.5-litre DOHC V12 concept engine produces around 570kW and is visible, Ferrari-style, through the car's rear window.
Pontiac Solstice roadster
The Solstice roadster, which was also shown in coupe guise at Detroit, is a lightweight, two-seater convertible with a turbocharged 2.2-litre engine producing around 165kW.
"Many manufacturers develop roadsters to add youth to their lineup, but then they wind up coming to market with a $50,000-plus pricetag," said Mr Lutz.
"This concept delivers the classic roadster formula but it would be targeted at less than half that cost. The secret is that all of the major components currently exist in volume on the GM shelf.
"That enabled us to build a true roadster - in terms of performance and design - that young buyers can actually afford. The Pontiac roadster is a result of the capability, the can-do spirit of this company," concluded Mr Lutz.
Chrysler Pacifica
The third US manufacturer reserved all its initial Detroit hype for the Pacifica concept, a vehicle Chrysler calls a sports tourer. Due to go on sale in the US in 2003 as a 2004 model, its combination of low step-in height, first-class seating, three rows of seats and car-like handling make it unlike any other vehicle, says Chrysler.
Powered by a 3.5-litre engine with all-wheel drive, plus side curtain airbags for all three rows, the Pacifica won't be sold Down Under, according to Chrysler Australia managing director Judith Wheeler, due to a lack of demand from other right-hand drive markets, most notably the UK due to its large size.
Jeep Compass
The Chrysler Group followed up the Pacifica 24 hours later with a group of concepts aimed at the youth generation, including the Compass.
This is a two-door sport-utility vehicle based on the new Jeep Liberty platform. Inspired by rally cars and the Jeepster concept shown at Detroit in 1998, the Compass features Jeep styling cues, such as the trapezoidal wheel openings and seven-slot grille.
"The Compass is designed to extend the brand to non-Jeep buyers who are into the Jeep mystique," said Chrysler Group styling boss Trevor Creed.
Dodge Razor
Named after the Razor scooter for its minimalist design, the Dodge Razor is a sports car in the vein of European offerings of the early 1960s.
The light-weight, rear-drive Razor is powered by a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder, turbocharged engine that produces around 190kW. One thing it doesn't have is a radio, because young buyers tend to rip out the factory-installed radio to put in their own sound systems.
Dodge M 80
The M 80 is designed to be a small, affordable, four-wheel-drive pickup truck that offers "surf to sun" capability for young people.
Built on the Dodge Dakota platform, the M 80, named after the firecracker, is equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission. It is outfitted with a five-foot bed and loads of storage compartments. Its exterior is aggressive with an imposing grille.

Please note: We only serve Northeast Ohio and do NOT ship ferrets!
Molly is a 8 month old female ferret that is ready for adoption. She is very playful, gets along well with others, and has good potty habits. Molly would make for a great addition to your home!
Please read our adoption procedure, for answers to your questions. http://www.ferretsunlimited.org/adopt-process.html
There are no exceptions, pairs must be adopted together, and triples must be adopted together. Ferrets that need surgery have the surgery done before adoption. All ferrets are current on their distemper and rabies vaccinations.
Adoptions are by appointment only. You must fill out the adoption application first. If after reading the adoption procedures, and you still have questions, please email us.
We do not ship ferrets, nor do we breed.
We rescued a large number of ferrets over the years. Some loved, some abused, some from homes where the former owner had no clue on care, but purchased the animal on impulse. We are dedicated to finding loving, caring homes for every ferret.
All ferrets are spayed or neutered BEFORE adoption.
We turn no ferret away, no matter the health, age, or lack of training. Medical needs are met, and manners are taught. There are times when we are full and have a waiting list to be turned in.
We believe that educating the potential pet owner is one of the most crucial things a rescue organization can do. This applies to both ferret rescues and other animal organizations. An educated pet owner can provide a safer, happier, and healthier environment for their pet, thus making both the pet and themselves a good match.
Before you browse the rest of our site, ask yourself if you can open your heart the a rescue animal, whether it is ferret, cat, dog, bird or reptile. Can you love a fur angel that has had it's little heart broken? Can you give the pet a loving home for it's lifetime?
The rewards that await are countless, their love endless. Can you make the commitment?
We at Ferrets Unlimited are committed to finding caring, knowledgeable homes for the animals in our care. Some of them come to us from abusive or neglectful situations, and we want to make sure that never happens to them again. In order to better screen new homes, we require all potential adopters to complete the application and screening process.
1. Applicant must fill in an adoption application COMPLETELY. The more details you can give us, the better! Many times the adoption process takes longer because we have to contact an applicant to expand or explain something on their application. Please be as specific as possible (i.e.: when describing what you would feed your ferrets, please list specific foods, don't just state ferret food).
2. Applicants MUST be 18 or older. We cannot legally adopt to minors. We will sometimes consider adopting to younger people, but in these cases, the parent or guardian must also complete the application process, and the parent/guardian must be the legal adopter.
3. Applicant must be adopting the animal for himself or herself, as a pet. We will NOT adopt out animals as gifts for others, or to be used for research, zoos, etc. These are pet animals only.
4. Applicant must provide a veterinary reference. We need to know that you have a vet who is capable of caring for ferrets and their special needs.
5. Applicants must demonstrate a THOROUGH understanding of the needs of the animals they are intending to adopt. Please do the research FIRST! If you are not sure about something, please ask us. We are more than willing to work with you to help you learn more about the animal you want to adopt. As long as you are willing to work with us and to learn, we will be glad to adopt to you when we feel you are ready.
6. In some cases, we may require a home visit prior to final adoption approval.
7. Applicant must be able to provide financially for any animals they wish to adopt. Will we ask you how much you make? No, absolutely not! However, veterinary care for ferret's can be very costly. A health check and vaccinations usually run $100 depending on your vet. Remember, ferrets need to see the vet for a yearly checkup just like dogs and cats.
8. Adoptions are by appointment only.
9. We do NOT ship ferrets! We adopt to people in the Northern Ohio area that can personally visit our ferrets. People who live in neighboring states, within driving distance, may be considered if you provide a valid veterinary reference (we will check) and personal references.
Valid phone numbers for references are required.
Adoption Process
1. Applicants must fill out and submit a completed application form.
2. We will review your application and contact you if we have any questions.
3. If all goes well, we will arrange an appointment for you to meet the ferret(s) you are interested in adopting.
4. Ferrets Unlimited charges an adoption fee for all ferrets. Fees are as follows: $75 for a single ferret, $125 for a bonded pair, $150 for a bonded triple.

Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Ferrets Unlimited Rescue Services.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

" Brand: Christian Dior / Type: Fragrance / Concentration: Eau de Toilette / Gender: for women "
* Prices may differ from that shown
There is a nice maturity about this particular fragrance from Dior and Diorissimo is well worth the £41 I paid for a 100ml bottle which was reduced by 20% on the normal retail price in a pre xmas sale. It is a quality product with a nice solid glass bottle and stopper that are clear in colour and some classy writing on the bottle. There is a nice simplicity about the bottle, as if it is saying that its function is to just be a container for the quality liquid inside and nothing else, it is refreshing to see something quite mature and conservative given some of the overly ornate styles some fragrances come in.
This is more of a subtle scent rather than one of those in your face brash fragrances, there is a floral freshness to it which is very pleasant indeed and makes it an ideal day scent in my opinion. The main notes are jasmine and lily of the valley, there are others but these are the two which do give the fragrance its essence as a nice gentle scent with a fresh summer feel to it. There is also sandalwood to be found in this fragrance. I do notice a subtle change in this perfume over time, the first hour the lily tends to dominate and then the jasmine really does take over with a nice crisp fragarnce that is a delight to smell and the sandalwood gives it a bit of depth as well.
This is a fragrance that has excellent staying power despite the subtle smell, it is one of those fragrances that keeps on going, I can apply it in the morning and it will stuill be detectable at the end of the day and it is very consistent in the smell that it gives off once it has settled down. I would certainly recommend this as a very mature and stylish fragrance that is a delight to wear and one to which I'm quite loyal.
Dior make some really attractive smelling perfumes and in recent years I have worked my way through quite a lot of them. I find Dior on the whole quite a grown up Perfume brand and it is only in recent years with Dior Cherie they have really tried to target the younger market. This is one of their classics; probably not as infamous as Poison but still just as classic. This perfume was brought out in 1956 but it has not aged.
==Price and availability==
The cost of a 100 ml bottle EDT is around £53.00. This is an average price for a Dior perfume.
The EDT comes in a see through bottle made from glass with a glass stopper that is thick and rounded. The bottle is classy looking, sophisticated and very swarve. There is nothing remarkable about the bottle but it falls in line with the rest of the Dior collection which is elegant and simple.
The perfume has been modernised over the years and although I have not had the chance to smell the vintage version; the perfume is supposed to have been adapted for the modern woman with a lot of improvements. What I like best about this scent is that it is so light and delicate; it does not try too hard. It reminds me of spring mornings; slightly chilly but full of awakening and delicate flowers that are starting to grown. The perfume uses gentle white flower notes that are classy and more-ish. The notes detected in the scent are lily of the valley, jasmine, ylang ylang and frangipani. The frangipani brings the scent a sweet smell but this does settle down which allows the gorgeous lily of the valley to come through and develop into a delicate floral perfume.
==My experiences==
I bought my sister a bottle of this as she kept saying how much she loved it whenever I wore it. Unfortunately this is one of those perfumes that not everyone can wear as it smells completely different to her! Hormones can alter the scent of a perfume and it just smells far too sickly sweet on her. It is incredible, you would not know it was the same perfume that we were both wearing. I can wear this with ease and find it a really gorgeous subtle scent that has good staying power.
I like the way the perfume makes me feel like a princess; sophisticated and I always imagine that Kate Middleton would wear a perfume like this! I would advise you to smell it first before buying it as it can smell different on different people but on the whole; it is an utterly sensual scent. I wonder what the vintage scent smells like? But this modern version is beautiful and for this I award it four stars!
This beautiful perfume which is one of the Christian Dior classics has been around since the 1950's and has all the elegance and glamour of the Hollywood Greats. Interestingly, it also has a distinct resemblence to the name of the scent Fleurissimo, the perfume that Prince Rainier III had created for his beloved princess and wife Grace Kelly.
Allegedly, when Princess Diana dated and and then married Prince Charles, she wore Diorissimo which was one of her all-time favorite for many years .
Personally, I have worn this perfume since the mid 80s myself and still wear it today 30 years on. On reflection, I not only was influenced by the fragrance itself but also that Christian Dior counters in department stores in the UK at that time used to make a point of telling you that Diana wore Diorissimo and I remember thinking if it is good enough for Diana it is good enough for me!
The underlying fragrance notes of Diorissimo are: green leaves, bergamot, lily of the valley, ylang ylang, rosewood, rosemary, lilac, amaryllis, boronia, jasmine, sandalwood, and civet.
It is a refreshing, feminine and flowery fragrance. It can be a little 'heavy' on the initial spray but settles very quickly resulting in compliments from men and women alike.
Designed by Christian Dior in 1956 as part of the Dior Classice Fragrance Range, Diorissimo is a refreshing, flowery fragrance. This feminine scent possesses a blend of jasmine and lily of the valley and is recommended for daytime wear.

Lord Sugar, Borat or Miliband for chief rabbi?
Lord Sugar has more chance of being chosen as the next chief rabbi than Borat, according to Paddy Power.
The news that Lord Sacks is to step down in 2013 has prompted the UK bookmaker to suggest some potential replacements.
Rabbi Harvey Belovski of Golders Green Synagogue has been given the best odds, with 6 to 4 that he will be picked.
But other high-profile Jewish leaders, including Mill Hill rabbi Yitzchak Schochet and six others — tipped as candidates by the JC — have also received favourable odds.
However the bookmaker has come up with some more unorthodox suggestions, including Apprentice judge Lord Sugar.
The Hackney-born businessman, who took his seat in the House of Lords in the same year as Lord Sacks, has been given odds of 250 to 1.
Paddy Power also put three wild-card candidates at odds of 500 to 1, including comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, Cambridge-educated like Lord Sacks and television personality and broadcaster Vanessa Feltz, the only woman on the list.
And although David Miliband is likely to be busy teaching politics to north London A Level students, or with a non-executive role at Sunderland Football Club, Paddy Power has named the former foreign minister as a possibility.
Lord Sacks will have served 22 years as chief rabbi when he retires.

Medicare Advantage expands health care options for Medicare beneficiaries. These options were created with the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to reduce the growth in Medicare spending, make the Medicare trust fund last longer, and give beneficiaries more choices.
With Medicare Advantage (also called Medicare Part C), you can choose from new ways in which to receive your Medicare benefits.
It is important to remember that each of these options will have advantages and limitations, and no option will be right for everyone. Also, not all options will be available in all areas.
Please Note: If you do not actively choose and enroll in a new plan, you will stay in Original Medicare or the original Medicare managed care plan you currently have.
When learning about these new options, please keep in mind that you do not have to change if you are happy with how you currently receive Medicare benefits. You should not change to a new program until you have carefully analyzed it and determined how you would benefit from it.
View a complete list of Medicare Advantage Plans available in Indiana by county for 2017 (updated 10/6/2016)
Original Medicare will always be available. If you want to continue receiving your benefits this way, then you do not have to do anything.
This is a managed care plan with a network of providers who contract with an insurance company. You choose a primary care physician who coordinates your care. You agree to follow the rules of the HMO and use the HMO's providers.
This is similar to the Medicare Advantage HMO, except you can use providers outside of the network. However, you will pay higher deductibles and copayments when you go outside of the network.
This is another managed care plan. It is formed by a group of doctors, hospitals, and other providers who contract with an insurance company. You do not have to choose a primary care physician. You can go outside of the network, but you will pay higher deductibles and copayments when you do.
This is a managed care plan with a network of providers. The providers administer the plan and take the financial risk. You choose a primary care physician and agree to use plan providers. Most services will be provided by the network.
This is an insurance plan, not a managed care plan. The plan, not Medicare, sets the fee schedule for providers, but providers can bill up to 15% more. You see any providers you choose, as long as the provider agrees to accept the payment schedule. Medical necessity is determined by the plan. The plan does not have to have a quality assurance program.
This is one of the managed care plan types (HMO, HMO w/pos, PPO, PSO) which is formed by a religious or fraternal organization. These plans may restrict enrollment to members of their organization.
This is a health insurance policy with a high deductible ($3,000) combined with a savings account ($2,000). Medicare pays the insurance policy premium and deposits moey into your MSA each month. You can use the money in your MSA to pay your medical costs (tax free). You have free choice of providers. The providers have no limit on what they charge.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services monitors appeals and marketing plans. All plans, except for Private Fee-for-Service, must have a quality assurance program.
If you meet the following requirements, the Medicare Advantage plan must enroll you.
You may be under 65 and you cannot be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions.
Another type of Medicare Managed Health Maintenance Organization is a Cost Contract HMO. These plans have different requirements for enrollment.
Currently in Indiana, Medicare Advantage plans are widely available throughout the state.
Medicare Advantage plans that include prescription coverage may require you to use particular medications to lower their costs and yours.
In order to enable beneficiaries to try a Medicare Advantage plan, but still have the option of returning to Original Medicare, a number of protections are in place. These protections will enable beneficiaries, in certain situations, to try a plan, but then return to Original Medicare and a Medicare Supplement policy if they want to do so.
Under these protections, beneficiaries will have guarantee issue of a Medicare Supplement policy as long as they meet one of the following criteria. For eligible beneficiaries, companies which sell supplement policies will not be able to deny coverage, charge more, or exclude benefits. However, to receive these protections, beneficiaries must apply for a supplement policy within 63 days of disenrolling from the health plan, or within 63 days of the termination of the health plan.
A beneficiary would be eligible for the Medicare Supplement protections if they meet one of the following criteria.
You are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan (such as a Medicare HMO) and one of the following happens:
In this case, you would get a guaranteed issue of a Medicare Supplement Plan A, B, C, or F from any company (as long as you apply within 63 days of losing your other coverage).
You have a Medicare Supplement plan and you cancel it in order to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan for the first time. Then you disenroll from the plan within 12 months and return to Original Medicare.
You are able to return to the same Medicare Supplement plan with the same company if it is still available. If it is not still available, you will get a Medicare Supplement plan A, B, C, or F from any company (as long as you apply within 63 days from disenrolling).
When you first take Medicare Part B, you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. Then you disenroll from the plan within 12 months and return to Original Medicare.
You are guaranteed to get any Medicare Supplement plan with any company (as long as you apply within 63 days from disenrolling).
You have an employer group health plan which supplements Medicare and your employer terminates the health plan, or stops providing supplemental coverage. (This does not apply if you voluntarily drop the employer group health plan.)
You are guaranteed to get a Medicare Supplement policy A, B, C, or F from any company.
Remember, to be eligible for any of these protections, you must apply within 63 days of losing, or disenrolling from your other health coverage.
Currently, you can choose from three types of Medicare Managed Care:
These plans are available in selected counties of Indiana and it is important to know the differences between them.
Medicare will reimburse the plan for covered services you receive. You choose a primary care provider within the HMO network. When you stay within the network, you pay nothing except the plan premium and any small copayment amounts preset by the HMO.
You may also choose to use services outside of the network. When you choose to use a service or provider outside the Cost Contract HMO network, Medicare would still pay their usual share of the approved amount. You would be responsible for the Medicare deductibles and copayments. The Cost Contract HMO would not pay these. Cost Contract HMOs may enroll you if you don't have Medicare Part A but have and pay for Medicare Part B. Cost Contract HMOs do not have to enroll you if you have end-stage kidney disease or are already enrolled in the Medicare hospice program.
This type of managed care plan maintains a list of preferred providers but lets you see doctors and hospitals outside the plan for an additional cost. If you choose to use a provider outside of the network, the plan will pay the same reimbursements as Original Medicare will unless you need emergency or urgent care.
You will be responsible for the Medicare deductibles and co-insurance. Usually with a preferred provider organization you are not required to have a primary care physician and do not need a referral to see a doctor outside the plan. You must have both Medicare Part A and B.
If you enroll in a private fee-for-service, you can receive care from any Medicare doctor that agrees to the plan's terms, but you must live in the plan's service area to be eligible. Medicare pays the plan a set amount every month for each beneficiary enrolled in the plan. The plan pays providers on a fee-for-service basis. The plan charges enrollees a premium and cost-sharing amounts.
The PFFS plan offers the same benefits covered under Original Medicare and may provide extra benefits, but you have to pay more for any extra benefits. In most cases, beneficiaries enrolled in the private fee-for-service plan will pay less to see a doctor than under original fee-for-service.

Dollar surges, bond rout continues
U.S. stock-index futures edged higher on Monday, as Wall Street's postelection uptrend appeared intact, though buying enthusiasm seemed to wane following last week's sharp advance and as investors awaited more clarity on policy.
Major indexes surged last week, with the Dow recording its biggest weekly gain since 2011 and hitting multiple records. The S&P 500 saw its largest weekly advance since 2014.
Last week, investors bet that President-elect Donald Trump's economic proposals--including massive cuts to the corporate tax rates and reduced financial and environmental regulation--will lead to accelerated economic growth. However, there are few specific details about the policies he may propose, as well as how much fiscal slack Trump will have to fund his ambitious spending plans. Those questions, along with the scale of last week's rally, could limit the market's advance in the short term.
"There are a lot of people who are waiting to see the actualities of his proposals, because right now we only have the broad-brush outlines," said Mark Grant, managing director at Southwest Securities, who added that he nonetheless expected the new administration's policies to help stock prices.
"I'm very bullish about the equity market right now," he said.
Need to know:Why investors could come to regret last week's appetite for stocks (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-investors-could-come-to-regret-last-weeks-appetite-for-stocks-2016-11-14)
Stock futures pared or reversed gains seen in Asia and early Europe trading hours. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 46 points, or 0.2%, to 18,833, pulling back from gains of more than 100 points earlier. S&P 500 futures rose 1.4 point to 2,163, a gain of less than 0.1%, while Nasdaq-100 futures slipped 9.75 points to 4,738, a decline of 0.2%.
The weakness in the tech-heavy Nasdaq was another trend that carried over from last week. Technology stocks sold off sharply last week (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tech-stocks-suffocated-by-uncertainty-2016-11-09), in contrast to other sectors, like financials, which saw big gains.

In other markets, a key dollar gauge leapt to its highest in nearly a year (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dollar-hits-multi-month-highs-versus-euro-yen-loonie-2016-11-14) Monday, as investors priced in policy shifts expected to be undertaken during Donald Trump's presidency in the U.S.
European stocks were also paring earlier gains, with the Stoxx Europe 600 index up just 0.2%, after opening up 0.8%. Asian stocks had a mixed day (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nikkei-surges-leaving-other-asian-markets-in-the-dust-2016-11-13), with the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index dropping 1.4%, while the Nikkei 225 index rose 1.7% on a weak yen.
Gold was trading marginally higher, while oil prices fell.

(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/donald-trump-tells-supporters-to-stop-harassment-2016-11-13)The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond traded as high as 2.29%, the highest since early January. The 30-year bond yield moved above 3%, also the highest since January. The yield on the two-year Treasury note moved above 1% for the first time in about a year.

Bonds have been suffering on the view that while Trump's policies could be good for growth, they could also be inflationary, meaning the Federal Reserve may be forced to raise interest rates faster than markets expected. Mutual and exchange-traded funds benchmarked to the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate U.S. Bond Index lost about $18 billion in value last week (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/bond-funds-lost-18-billion-in-value-during-this-weeks-trump-inspired-selloff-2016-11-11).

Read:With Trump win comes expectations for interest rates to rise 'bigly' (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/with-trump-win-comes-expectations-for-rates-to-rise-bigly-2016-11-11)
The dollar (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dollar-hits-multi-month-highs-versus-euro-yen-loonie-2016-11-14) was continuing last week's strong performance, hitting multimonth highs against the euro, yen and Canadian dollar on Monday. The ICE Dollar index , which measures the dollar's strength against six of its biggest rivals, rose to 99.805 from 99.055 late Friday, trading roughly at the highest level in about a year, according to FactSet.
Economic docket: There is no major economic data on Monday's calendar, but there is a lineup of Fed speakers.
Dallas Fed President Rob Kaplan will be heard in a discussion at the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce at 1:20 p.m. Eastern Time. Later in the afternoon, Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker will appear on a panel discussion on fiscal policy and debt in Chestertown, Md., at 5 p.m. Eastern. Then San Francisco Fed President John Williams will speak on growing China trade and investment in San Francisco at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
Stocks to watch:Siemens AG(SIE.XE) said Monday it has agreed to buy U.S.-based Mentor Graphics Corp.(MENT) in a merger deal worth $4.5 billion (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/siemens-agrees-to-buy-us-based-mentor-in-45-billion-deal-2016-11-14). Shares of Mentor rose nearly 19% in premarket.

That lady who likes to hug and kiss me (I play-bite her to get her to stop, but she won't) finally took more pictures of me.
I'm getting so depressed in her. That stupid Mr. Sketch gets all the attention. I get ignored a lot. I'm the cuter of the two of us; he is shaved, after all. But no one comes to take me home. I am here waiting for the right family, but no one seems interested.
Maybe my new pictures will get posted and people can see how cute I am again.
I haven't written a diary entry for ages now. I really must start keeping up to date on this. Who's gonna be able to get to know me if I don't write in my diary? And, alas, my cute looks just aren't getting me adopted.
Not too long ago, I was called the Golden Retriever of cats (dogs .... yuck!). The cat lady assured me it was meant as a compliment. It was supposed to mean that I'm such a happy-go-lucky guy; always bright-eyed and excited about whoever comes my way (I'm not happy about Mr. Sketch coming my way).
I just want some lap to sleep on, some toys to play with (love those feathers!), maybe a cat or two who actually like playing (all Mr. Sketch wants is the lap I was going to sleep on .... he's so pushy).
I love canned food!! And the treats Jane gives me. I want more!! Bring more. And feathers, too!!!! I love that Jane.
One of the volunteers (do I need to mention Jane's name again?) gave me the most perfect present a few days ago; a big cat scratcher tree. There's the most perfect place to sleep on the very top of it; and so that's where I sleep and hang out most of the time. The best part of it is that I'm constantly out of reach of my bossy roommate, Mr. Sketch.
Jane's such a nice person, I'm sure she meant the scratcher to be for both Mr. Sketch and me. But I claimed it. It's mine, mine, mine! And Mr. Sketch can't have it (until he learns to play with me .... then I might share).
I'm waiting for the lady who works here to take more pictures of me to post on this website. She's been such a slacker lately about taking new pictures of us. I guess she's been busy ... but she does come in on a regular basis to give me some cuddles and playtime. I think I'm one of her favorite kitties. But I'm not sure her judgement is always the soundest; she does, afterall, like Mr. Sketch, too!
P.S. Mr. Sketch thinks he rules ... He's wrong. I rule! Or maybe I'm just too cute! Either way works for me!

: Who Cuts Your Hair?
Hi Noodle Hair,
So, you really think it was good? I read yoru initial account of it on this site and you seemed a bit dissatisfied - that Paul would not listen and that he wet it. It's the wetting it that @%#&$(%)(@ terrifies me - my hair goes straight when its wet and then they viviously rub it with a towel dry and there is just no curl for a couple of hours after that. So they cut it with zero curl and I end up looking 1970s. Would you go to Paul again?

Don't Go To Extremes For a Dress… Even a Wedding Gown
Trigger Warning: If you suffer from an eating disorder, you might want to skip this one. It could be detrimental to your recovery.
So. Dieting to fit into your wedding gown. Can we talk about this for a minute?
Since I write a wedding planning blog, I do see a lot of articles about how best to lose those unwanted pounds, because really, who wants to be fat on her wedding day? At least, the common assumption is that you want to lose weight for your wedding. In fact, I remember having several people tell me when I got engaged that there are two things every bride in the world does: grows her hair out and goes on a diet.

CLEVELAND -- Carl Pavano knows about bouncing back from adversity. He thinks the Cleveland Indians can too.
Pavano (7-7) earned his first win in five starts, while No. 8 and 9 hitters Luis Valbuena and Ben Francisco went a combined 6 for 6 to help Cleveland defeat the Oakland Athletics 5-2 on Saturday.
"It feels great to win a couple in a row," said Pavano after the Indians earned their second consecutive win for the first time since June 11-12. Cleveland's fourth win in 17 games overall stretched its winning streak to six against the Athletics since April 12, 2008.
"Carl was really good, using all his pitches," Indians manager Eric Wedge said after the right-hander allowed two runs and eight hits over 6 2/3 innings to improve to 1-3 since pitching a shutout against the Chicago White Sox on June 5.
That gave the 33-year-old 99 innings pitched this season -- more than double his total for his last three seasons in New York and the most since he worked 100 innings in 2005 for the Yankees.
"I feel good, but there's still a half season to go," Pavano said. "We're starting to get our lineup back together and we've got to keep pushing forward."
Francisco hit a two-run homer and Grady Sizemore a solo shot for Cleveland while Kerry Wood worked the ninth for his first save since June 23 and 10th in 14 chances overall.
Orlando Cabrera, whose 14-game hitting streak was snapped Friday, had three hits and an RBI for Oakland, which has lost eight of 10 and is last in the AL West.
"We had eight hits, but they were all singles," Oakland manager Bob Geren said. "Obviously, a couple home runs from them was the big difference. Keeping the ball in the ballpark is a good recipe for a pitcher. They did that."
Oakland took a 1-0 lead on a first-inning sacrifice fly by Matt Holliday. The Athletics left the bases loaded when third baseman Jhonny Peralta made a leaping catch of a line drive by Ryan Sweeney that would have scored more.
"I had some great plays behind me," Pavano said. "Balls caught tonight found holes in other games."
Cleveland went ahead 3-1 in the third on an RBI single by Valbuena and two-run homer by Francisco -- his first since May 27 and sixth overall.
"I've always said that when we have our guys healthy, we're capable of hitting one through nine in the order," said Wedge, who used 76 different lineups in Cleveland's first 81 games.
Sizemore, whose 11th homer gave Cleveland a 4-1 lead in the sixth, believes the last-place Indians can still get back into the AL Central race.
"There's a half season left and we have the talent to put a run together," Sizemore said.
Both teams turned in good defensive plays.
The Athletics stopped a Cleveland threat in the fifth when Valbuena singled with one out and tried to score from first on a double by Francisco off the left-field wall. But shortstop Orlando Cabrera took the throw from center fielder Ryan Sweeney and relayed the ball home, where catcher Kurt Suzuki blocked the plate and tagged out Valbuena.
In the second, Oakland second baseman Mark Ellis turned a line drive by Travis Hafner into a double play by making a driving catch, easily doubling off Shin-Soo Choo from first base. In the eighth, Choo made a diving catch in right of pinch-hitter Nomar Garciaparra's bid for extra bases.
Cabrera's run-scoring single in the seventh got Oakland within 4-2 and gave the veteran a .355 (11-for-31) career average against Pavano.
Sizemore drove in another run with a broken-bat grounder in the seventh.
Mazzaro had allowed only one homer in six previous career starts since being called up June 2. The right-hander allowed five runs and eight hits over six-plus innings and fell to 0-4 in his last five starts.
"The guys at the bottom of the order got me," Mazzaro said. "I did a pretty decent with the middle of the order. That's going to happen. I left the ball up too many times. It was probably my approach."
Cleveland C Victor Martinez was 0 for 4 and is on a 4-for-46 (.087) slump. ... When Cleveland OF Shin-Soo Choo had four runs, seven RBI and a stolen base Friday night, he became the third player to do it since 1945, joining Hall of Famers Ted Williams (1949) and Willie Stargell (1968) according to the Elias Sports Bureau. ... Oakland C Kurt Suzuki, a candidate to make the AL All-Star team, has hit .362 (21-for-58) over his last 17 games.

OK.. mostly fixed my own problem.
I have to turn off Windows Firewall. I tried allowing XBMC within the firewall, but it didn't seem to let it through.
Any thoughts on how to allow XBMC to run while still having Windows Firewall on?

Re: data source for demonstration
Is this data set coming from a previous mathematica session or another
source? If it is another source, there are only certain formats that
are allowed.
I've often created a huge amount of data (or equations) during an
analysis in Mathematica, then saved it using:
Save["Results", {data1,data2}];
This creates a file named "Results" in your current working directory,
which can be set by:
You can later read in the data into another notebook, or another

Hope this helps!

For decades Hong Kong was a British piece of territory that had been obtained via force from the Chinese government. It was captured by the Japanese during World War II and when Communist forces swept through the land they halted at the outskirts of the British held city. It was simply a matter of time before the English left the area, but they did receive assurances from the Communist government that Hong Kong would have special status and its people could still retain the right to vote.
Of course, when Chinese Communists promise the right to vote, they mean for their people. The people of Hong Kong do vote but power remains in the hands of officials selected by the Communist government. Its current chief executive, Leung Chun-ying has aroused anger by secretly building on his property in violation of the law as well as his policy of doing what they want in Beijing. There are demonstrations, riots and protests, but the chief executive complains they only represent a few.
Hopefully, it is a matter of time before the Communist government alters its totalitarian status and allows Chinese people their right to truly a free election.

Who'd be an actor? It is a famously tough career, with far more people wanting jobs than are ever available. Yet given the number of articles which appear, hyping the latest young and emerging talent, you might think the industry was at least doing its best to offer support to those who are in the earliest, and therefore most vulnerable, stages of their careers. But this is not the case. When they leave drama school, young actors are usually met by a wall of indifference.
This is surprising given how much help is on offer to others in the industry. A couple of years ago I decided, despite having trained as an actor, to turn to directing, and I was astonished by the amount of opportunities available. There are numerous initiatives like the Young Vic's excellent Genesis Directors Project, the National Theatre's Cohen Bursary and the JMK Award, which all give directors the chance to both develop their skills and put on shows.
Writers enjoy similar levels of support. The Soho Theatre and the Royal Court, among several others, have extensive workshop programmes for budding playwrights. And they too have awards and bursaries which can help them get their work on.
But with a few exceptions, such as the ill-fated RSC Academy which lasted only a year, and the occasional offer of support from places like the Dundee Rep and London's Old Vic, almost no attempt is made to help those who want to act. As an actor friend of mine said, "opportunities are few and far between, as an actor you feel very much at the bottom of the ladder in terms of what support is available".
Why is this? There are three possible reasons. Firstly, there is the "downgrading" in the importance of acting that Lyn Gardner has recently identified. Secondly, nothing has filled the vacuum left by the demise of the repertory system which for years gave many performers a chance to consistently learn and practice their trade at the outset of their careers. Thirdly, with so many people wanting to act, it has become lucrative for drama schools (reputable or otherwise) to offer more and more courses despite there being little opportunity for employment. When they can choose from so many people who are desperate for a job, it is no wonder there is little motivation to offer any further support.
But this is hardly in the theatre's long term interest. A lot of fine actors who could go on to have great careers will be lost if they feel early on that no one is interested. And there are plenty of ways the issue could be addressed. Our big subsidised companies could set up semi-permanent ensembles of young actors who would then perform regularly in productions. They could create programmes similar to the Young Vic's directors' scheme, which would give actors the chance to develop their skills in other ways when not employed - through rehearsed readings, education projects and open access workshops. They could develop mentoring systems in which older and more successful actors can offer guidance over several years to those new to the profession. Approaches like these might just provide a little glimmer of hope to those who decide that an actor's life is, indeed, for them.

Bobbi Brown Metallic Lip Color- Wow!Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Have you checked out the new Bobbi Brown Lips? The Metallics are out now (I have not a clue where it came from, but for some reason I thought they weren't coming until October? I think I was confusing them with another collection or something)...
Anyways, my favorite in the Pretty Pink which I have. The colors are all very pretty and flattering- you're sure to find one that you want to carry around with you and use every day (just like me!) This color is a bit darker than my natural lip color, a tad more pink and has a nice shimmer that just calls attention to my lips without yelling "Sparkle Here!" I'm finding that it works especially great for balancing out the more smokey eyes I've been doing lately, but without being too boring.
Love it!

Incoming freshman Burkley Showe is in fifth place with 559.65 points on the 3-meter springboard after Wednesday's semifinal round at the 2005 Speedo National Diving Championships in Huntersville, N.C.
"Burkley placed fifth at Nationals and he is right up there with the best ever of incoming freshmen divers here at Tennessee," UT diving coach Dave Parrington said. "I am very happy with his performance, and excited to see him compete in the finals as well as being excited about getting him on campus competing for the Vols."
Rising sophomore Ryan Rincon finished 15th on the 10-meter platform with 379.98.
"Considering Ryan's adversity and injuries I am pleased with his performance," Parrington added. "His effort was great and just being here competing is a huge positive towards his progress."
Finals for the 3-meter board are Friday, August 12.

The Amazon in the News!
The main financial newspaper in Brazil (Valor Econômico) and several major news websites in Latin America are spreading the word about the recent strides to curb deforestation in the municipality of São Félix do Xingu, a key agricultural frontier in the Brazilian Amazon. Wide coverage for this subject is the result of a trip promoted by the Conservancy, in August, to put nine journalists and photographers of relevant media outlets in contact with the communities, companies and governments which work with the Conservancy in that region. The press expedition generated more than 30 stories, in four languages, about sustainable beef production, forest restoration in private properties and cacao cultivation as a sustainable alternative of income for small ranchers. Initiatives like these contributed for the drop of 80% in the deforestation level since 2009, when the Conservancy started working in the municipality. "Drawing attention to the example of São Félix do Xingu is a good way to recognize the efforts of this community and, at the same time, make the case for public opinion that it's possible to conciliate production and conservation in the Amazon" said Ian Thompson, Amazon Conservation Program Director. Read one of the articles and watch one of the videos about São Félix do Xingu.

It is no secret that when parents go through a New Jersey divorce, their children go through the process with them. During this uncertain time, each child may react differently to the anxiety and uncertainty of divorce. While some are forthcoming with their feelings, others may become unusually reserved, distant, or aggressive. Yet no matter how your child is behaving, it can be productive and useful to meet with a child psychologist and/or a counselor to learn how to effectively help your children during and after the New Jersey divorce process. A professional can help your children cope with the new parenting arrangements and changes to their environment, while keeping household stress levels at bay.
The NJ divorce attorneys at Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group have seen firsthand the benefits that a mental health professional can provide. Whether you decide to involve a mental health professional or not, it is important not to discuss the details of your New Jersey divorce in the children's presence. Disparaging the other parent to the children or in the presence of the children can be terribly destructive—both to the children and to your own relationship with them. Your children are probably feeling conflicted about the divorce and negative comments will only serve to deepen their sense of conflict.
While children will respond to a New Jersey divorce in a number of different ways, their questions are remarkably similar. These can include:
When it comes to children and New Jersey divorce, it is important to recognize that the separation process impacts the entire household, not just the parents. While you may long for a separation from your spouse, your children may not share your feelings. Acknowledging these emotional differences is a crucial step towards helping your children adjust, while bringing couples together to effectively co-parent. An experienced New Jersey divorce attorney can help you through these difficult times and connect you with resources to help you and your children both during and at the conclusion of the divorce process.
