Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:06pm
WINTER PARK, Fla. – In its first season of existence, the University of Tampa (11-4, 7-1 DSC) lacrosse team continued its rise among the collegiate ranks with a share of the Deep South Conference championship following a 15-8 victory over Rollins College (3-12, 1-6 DSC) on Friday.
NCAA Division II all-time winningest coach Rory Whipple brought his team to play as the Spartans scored the first six goals of the contest, with two coming from leading scorer Greg Griffo. Freshman M.J. Lorenzo added a goal and two assists of his own during the span.
After taking a 6-1 advantage to the half, the Spartans recorded the first two scores of the third period behind Lorenzo and Frank Lorono. The Tars would cut the UT advantage to 8-3 heading into the final period.
Tampa then put the finishing touches on the historic evening as it outscored Rollins 7-5 in a high-scoring fourth period.
A total of eight Spartans scored a goal, led by four from freshman Jonathan Franzese. Lorenzo, Griffo, Lorono and A.J. DeSimone would each add a pair of goals while Jeff Clements, Andrew Hoffman and Joel McGowan also found the back of the Rollins net.
Lorenzo and Kevin Castle led the Spartans with three assists apiece, as Griffo and James McAuliffe also added a helper.
Joseph Fiorucci earned the win in goal for Tampa, finishing with five saves in 60 minutes of play.
The Spartan dominance was echoed in the scorebook, with UT outshooting the Tars by a 47-25 margin. Tampa also held a 33-21 groundball advantage and won 13-of-25 faceoffs.
With the regular season complete, Tampa has earned a first round bye in the 2012 Deep South Conference Championship. The Spartans will host a DSC semifinal game on Thursday at 7 p.m., against the winner of Tuesday's Florida Southern-Saint Leo matchup. The winner will advance to the DSC title game on April 15 at the home of the North Carolina champion.
Live stats and a video webcast will be available for Thursday's game through TampaSpartans.tv.
Fans may follow University of Tampa athletics on Twitter (www.twitter.com/utspartans) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/tampaspartans). UT also offers blAst, a free text messaging service that sends text alerts following all Spartan events. To sign up, please register at www.tampaspartans.com.

Tree House Hostage Movie In 56Kbps Modem!
A different Jim Varney, with a bit more serious character (at times), but yet very funny. Although Jim is not in his usual "Ernest" role, most of Jim Varney's fans will really enjoy this comedy with a low keyed drama. This was one of Jim's later films, and different from his usual "Ernest" character and movies. I give it a "thumbs Up" for the "Tree House Hostage!
2nd Feature Movie!
Ernest Rides Again!

Click HERE To Watch MOVIE!
One of the funniest Ernest mad cap comedies. Ernest gets involved with his buddy the professor in search of the long lost Crown jewels of England, which for a long time had been hidden in an ancient cannon and here in the U.S! The plot thickens, between with professor's wife, and the two nutty salesmen and the College's admistrator, who after finding out about Ernest finding a material clue to the long lost and hidden jewels are, and then finding the crown! It all ends up with Ernest riding an old cannon, and the bad guys chasing Ernest to get the prize, the crown jewels of course. Well, I better not tell ya anymore and spoil the movie for ya! This Ernest movie is one of my favorites, and your going to see why! Filmed in Canada, brrrr! I said that, because poor Jim Varney (Ernest), almost froze riding that huge cannon! Ha! Ha! Ha!

This wall-mounted sculpture features eight photographic prints displayed on a computer monitor mounting system. The eight panels each swivel and articulate separately. Together, they combine to create an abstract landscape based on a desktop background image of an idyllic tropical setting. Recalling the workstation of a futures trader, logistics manager, or design guru, the screen armature draws out the simultaneously romantic and vacuous characteristics of the imagery. By combining the visual languages of both physical and on-screen desktop environments with the pictorial traditions of landscape and abstraction, this work questions how and where we deploy nature, desire and wonderment in our increasingly technologised lives.

The Creator's Project: Interactive Installation Creates A Piano Out Of Human Voices
This global experience features different individuals singing different notes when they're selected using keys.
On a Human Scale is an ongoing project to create a growing interactive instrument out of everyday people from around the world. It subverts the perfection of digital technology in order to celebrate the splendid imperfection of people – to breath humanity into the machine and put it back into the hands of the public.
A piano in the center of a space controls a Human Piano projected around the player. Each key triggers a different video of a different person from a different walk of life singing a different note. When played all together they fuse into an awe-inspiring new media choir that is totally under the control of whoever is at the keyboard.
The ambition is to take the experience around the globe, to create a series of localized installations: filming singing portraits and building a Human Piano completely unique to different cities around the world. New York On a Human Scale, Guadalajara On a Human Scale, Shanghai On a Human Scale, Johannesburg On a Human Scale, Zurich On a Human Scale, Mumbai On a Human Scale, Venice On a Human Scale. Each piece will be a one-of-a-kind melodic reflection of the inhabitants of the city while contributing to an ever-growing global human piano.

Scandinavian design has passed the status of
a temporary trend and has proven itself to be a steady, international factor in the fashion world. Stine Laderfoged, Yasamin Zafar and Tabernacle Twins are probably the most widely discussed designers of the moment and all three will be showing their collections on the Gallery catwalk. More than ample reasons to take a closer look at these talents.
Stine Laderfoged
Stine Laderfoged founded her brand of the same name in 2009 straight after graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design. The label caused a sensation with knitted and jersey clothing made with Scandinavian simplicity yet with innovative and complex details that are expressed in the various, knitting techniques. In this way, Stine has created variety in the volume and structure of her knit wear which she combines with meters of fabric. She always uses the highest quality yarns and fabrics and her most important and most widely used material is and remains wool.
Stine Laderfoged presented her first collection during the Copenhagen Fashion Week in August 2010. Since this impressive launch the brand has taken off, both in Denmark and internationally. Offering great promise for the future!
Yasamin Zafar
The even younger Danish design label that is Yasamin Zafar didn't officially see the light of day until 2011. Founder and designer, Yasamin Zafar also studied Textile Design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design. The label is – already – well-known for its simple silhouettes combined with prints, textures and complex details. The designs emerge from Yasamin's curiosity and passion for discovering different cultures and mentalities. The brand was only officially founded after she presented her first collection "Rites of Passage" during the Copenhagen Fashion Week in Augustus 2010. This is also a name to remember!
Tabernacle Twins
Tabernacle Twins is based on fictive twins called The Tabernacle Twins. The label follows the twins through their adventurous, fantasy world full of fictive characters, quirky landscapes and fantastic creatures. An imaginary, panoramic setting forms the inspiration for Vibe Lundemark, the label's founder and designer, who each season searches for the perfect balance between fashion, textile and illustration. The label distinguishes itself with its strong colours and digital prints and is known for the quality, high-value fabrics and carefully chosen details. Designer Vibe Lundemark studied for a MA Degree in women's fashion at the Royal College of Art in London in 2009. The first collection "So it Begins" (SS10) was presented during the Copenhagen Fashion Week in Augustus 2010, after which the label was endowed with a subsidy from the Danish Art Foundation. We will certainly be hearing more from this label!

The PowerBoat Guide had this to say:
A popular boat for Sea Ray, the 340 Sundancer (note that an earlier 340 Sundancer was produced from 1984-89) is a good example of why Sea Ray continues to lead the market for mid-cabin express boats. Attractively styled and built to high standards, the 340 is a superb entertainment platform with a wide-open interior and a cockpit large enough to accommodate a small crowd. Two floorplans were available, both with the forward stateroom open to the main cabin and a mid stateroom disguised as a sunken conversation area by day. Privacy curtains separate the sleeping areas from the salon, and a hidden TV/VCR pulls out and swivels so it can be viewed from anywhere in the boat. Posh furnishings highlight the Sundacner's interior. Topside, an adjustable helm seat overlooks a tiered dash configuration, and facing bench seats, a cockpit table, and wet bar make the cockpit a comfortable place for guests.

Park and charge: The Infiniti LE concept will even remember the GPS co-ordinates of your garage wireless charging point, and will automatically park there.
6 April 2012
By RON HAMMERTON
INFINITI'S all-electric LE concept is set to go into production within two years, potentially pioneering home wireless charging using inductive energy.
The mid-sized luxury sedan that was unveiled at the New York motor show overnight can even automatically park itself accurately over the cableless charging point in the garage floor, using automatic electric steering guided by GPS and Nissan's Intelligent Park Assist system.
This means the driver has to merely steer the car into their garage where the Infiniti LE will do the rest – line itself up over the charging pad and begin charging without the driver having to connect any cables.
The first electric Infiniti is an almost certain starter in Australia where Nissan's luxury brand is set to start its showroom rollout in the second half of this year with three models – the FX SUV, M sedan and G coupe and cabrio.
Unveiling the near-production Infiniti LE concept at the show, Nissan president and CEO Carlos Ghosn said his company was committed to expanding its EV market penetration with new electric vehicles such as the LE.
"Infiniti is well positioned to deliver the objectives for a sustainable future, relying on our capable, hard-working and motivated team members around the world. We are a challenger."
The LE is about the same size as the Infiniti G sedan that competes with the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4/A5 in United States.
Although no driving range or power figures were revealed, torque from the electric motor is said to be 320Nm – 40Nm more than the Nissan Leaf – and battery capacity was claimed to be 24kWh – the same as the Leaf's lithium-ion battery pack.
But as Nissan's corporate vice-president for Infiniti, Toru Saito, told Australian journalists at the Geneva motor show, the new Infiniti EV would use a more advanced version of the Leaf's lithium-ion electric powertrain technology.
The batteries are stored in the passenger compartment floor, which Infiniti says not only means a low centre of gravity but has no impact on cabin or boot space.
The company says the car was designed first and foremost as a luxury sedan, rather than an electric vehicle with luxury appointments.
"The Infiniti LE concept does not compromise either roominess or comfort, which is why it starts with an advanced luxury-styled sedan body, not a converted hatchback," the company says in its show press release.
The LE carries all of Infiniti's current design cues, but the hexagonal grille in this case is transparent plastic that lights up at night and hides a charging port behind the Infiniti badge, should the driver want to 'fill up' from a plug-in charging point.
This closed fascia helps to sharpen the aerodynamics, with Infiniti reporting a stunning 0.25Cd drag coefficient.
Other aero features include low-drag alloy wheels, a high rear deck, rear diffuser and side fin spoilers that, like the grille, lights up.
No acceleration figures were offered, only a promise of "exceptional acceleration and re-acceleration, providing a new level of luxury driving experience".
Infiniti Americas vice president Ben Poore Buyers said buyers wanted 'green', but would not settle for a poorer driving experience than that of their current luxury vehicles.
"For those who have never driven a modern EV, the immediate full-torque response when you step on the accelerator is amazing," he said.
The Leaf accelerates from zero to 100km/h in about 10 seconds.
Infiniti says the LE will build on the foundations laid by the brand's first venture into electric drive technology, the M35h, which is also on the list of impending models for Australia.
The LE's biggest party trick will be the ability to charge its batteries without a plug-in connection, via inductive energy, and do it with minimal driver intervention.
Infiniti stopped short of saying the feature would be included in the production version, saying "if it is adapted for the production". However, it didn't rule it out, either.
The wireless charging system requires an electric coil encased in the garage floor. When switched on, electricity in the coil creates a magnetic field that excites a second coil under the back of the car, charging the batteries.
Once the system has been charged over the in-floor coil once, the LE will remember the GPS co-ordinates and, using its electronic-guided parking system and all-round view cameras, will position the car corrctly over the charging point automatically in future.
The system can be controlled by either a smartphone or a display in the car, and is said to be easily installed in the floor, and is safe around children and pets.
Interestingly, the Infiniti LE is said to rise on torsion beam rear suspension – a system usually found on cheap small cars rather than luxury sedans.
Inside, a "twin display" controls various interior functions, including pre-heating or pre-cooled the vehicle at pre-set times, synchronising with web calendars and searching for local charging stations.
"The system will be capable of reserving charging stations at public venues such as malls or ballparks, once the appropriate infrastructure is in place," Infiniti says.

Police to Residents: Don't Approach Roaming Bears
TRENT WOODS - Bear sightings have been reported to authorities in Trent Woods once a day, on average, over the past ten days.
Police in the Craven County town are noting the location of each report in an effort to track the movement of the bear, or bears. It's unclear how many are in the town.
Police Chief Tony Lee is advising residents to not put any food source outside their homes. That includes scraps on barbecue grills, food trash in recycle bins, even bird feeders.
Once the food source is gone, the bear(s) will leave, Lee said.
"You don't expect to see a bear," said Patricia Spankovich, a Trent Woods resident.
She saw what she described as a "teenage" bear in her backyard last week.
By the time Spankovich retrieved her camera, the bear had jumped over a fence and was gone, she said.
The animal(s) have not exhibited aggressive behavior toward humans and there are no reports of the bear targeting pets.
Chief Lee is also asking people to stay away from the bears; his advice to curious people is to watch the animals from a home or car and never approach a bear.

As of tomorrow it's official, this Irish lady is giving up her Irish last name, but let's be real here- she's not giving up her Irish roots. It'll take a lot more than a wedding and a new last name to shake the Irish out of this chick.
To remind my groom-to-be how lucky he is to have this Irish bride, it only seemed fitting to add a little pop of green to our holiday decor this season. This darling Irish tree will be standing tall all the way through St. Patrick's Day (yup, you read that right Matthew… she's not going anywhere anytime soon).
I have collected these Irish ornaments over the years from all of the wonderful Irish women in my life and can't wait to add to my collection in the future.
My gram gave me this St. Bridget's ornament this year, and I am obsessed with the new addition! Maybe I can hunt down a St. Matthew one for next year?
I still haven't found the perfect Irish topper for this tree, so for now, a shamrock ribbon is just perfect.
These darling mini "books" are homemade treasures that my future mother-in-law had made for our pre-wedding celebration! They say "Bridget & Matthew" on the front with a Claddagh ring and makes the perfect "Irish gifts" for under our tree.
As I embark on a new journey with a not-so Irish last name this weekend, you can rest assured that this blondie will always be an Irish gal at heart, Irish last name o' not.
Tune in to our Instagram to follow the wedding festivities (#ChestnutmeetsMayfield) and check back Monday morning to see the first peek into the wedding projects! Happy Weekend fellow rookies!!

Immerse yourself in gameplay through a redefined RPG experience
Incredible Play
Rise of the Argonauts immerses players completely in the world of ancient Greece. One way this is accomplished is by streamlining the RPG elements in exciting new ways. For example, rather than increasing arbitrary stats like 'Intelligence plus one', items and upgrades give Jason unique, tangible abilities like the Fist of Ares, which causes shields to explode, ripping apart nearby enemies. And individual battles aren't dependant upon a hit-point and dice system. If you manage to get behind a shield and slice into your enemies' neck, their head will be cleaved from their shoulders. The developers also spent time researching the look and feel of ancient Greek artwork, crafts and architecture for a richness of surrounding that is astonishing.
As in ancient Greece, in Rise of the Argonauts players must curry the favor of the Gods. As you achieve deeds, you can dedicate them to different gods. A god's favor will also be affected by choices you make in conversations with non-player characters. As your favor, or disfavor, with a particular god rises, your abilities will be affected accordingly. But be careful, because the gods like few things better than meddling in the lives of their human subjects.
Amazing Battles
The battle system in Rise of the Argonauts is simple enough to pick up quickly, but has more finesse than your typical button masher. In battling enemies you weaken their armor, then their limbs, eventually finishing them off. Weapons can be switched mid-battle to unleash devastating combos, while using god-granted powers can also cause serious damage. Players can also choose how to defeat their enemies, and in so doing find interesting new allies. For example, in one of your battles you will fight Medusa herself. If you kill her, her brother Perseus will grieve for her but join you on your quest. If you save Medusa, however, Athena will command her to join your crew as a beginning to her penance for her misdeeds.
In Rise of the Argonauts gamers will find a deep, and enthralling story that is matched only by the fun of playing it. With a wide range of upgradeable weapons, loads of different heroes to help you, gods to entreat, and an ever-changing story that is constantly affected by the choices you make, the possibilities seem endless. Add to that stunning visuals, a musical score created by film composer Tyler Bates, and a smooth blend of action and RPG that is new to the genre, and this is a game you simply must check out.

"Very happy with this product. I was initially concerned with paper quality with ordering over the internet since I could not view in person. However, paper quality was great, colors were vibrant, print well done. In person, looked exactly like image show on screen. Would order through this company again."
"I thought the quality of the paper and the printing were very good. Since there were no response cards, I used the business simple response cards and they were able to make the printing the same blue as the invites at no extra charge."

Fred Gwynn did an amazing job in this episode. For some reason, when Fred plays a role in Mystery Theater, he sounds like he's not acting but is the actual person he's portraying. He had an amazing gift. 5 stars.
This was absolutely superb. All the actors were amazingly realistic. I actually felt very sorry for the perpetrator of the actor who played him was excellent. I gave this a five star rating

I could not find the answer on General support forum - it looks it is a bug in XBMC code itself.
I use Rowmote Pro on my iPod as remote keyboard for Apple TV2 XBMC
I can type foreign letters (cyrillic) in native Apple TV 2 OS Search window using Rowmote Pro keyboard. Everything perfect.
But if I run XBMC application on Apple TV 2 - foreign letters are not typed correctly ( I see Greek alphabet instead of Cyrillic). Cyrillic file names are shown correctly in XBMC. No any problems with typing Latin characters.
I can type foreign chars in XBMC installed on PC (using PC keyboard)
Question is how to configure XBMC correctly for remote typing foreign characters? What fonts are used if you type and why it is not changed if you change localization in XBMC
Let me know what source code section is responsible for this section - I will try to fix it by myself
Thanks for help

20 DCPS Schools Slated for Closure
In a plan announced reported Tuesday, District of Columbia Public School Chancellor Kaya Henderson has targeted 20 public schools for closure.
The closures affect some 3,000 students in six wards, mostly in Northeast Washington and East of the River. The schools slated to be closed are located in Wards 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. No closings are slated for Wards 3 and 1. Among the schools slated for closure is Spingarn High School in Northeast. Two middle schools are also slated to be closed and absorbed into high schools, which would create two 6-12 schools in the district.
The District Council has already begun to take up the matter in a meeting Nov. 15 and will do so again in the Wilson Building Nov. 19, 2 to 6 p.m. Community or shareholder meetings are also being planned.
Henderson said that some of the infrastructure involved could be rented to charter schools, which would mark another increase in these schools, which in turn are part of the DCPS but are run at the expense of public schools.
For a complete list of schools slated for close and the complete plan as put, visit the District of Columbia Public Schools Website.

wikiHow to Perm Your Hair
Three Methods:Getting Ready to PermPerming Your Hair at HomePerming Your Hair at a SalonCommunity Q&A
A permanent wave, also known as a perm, is a chemical hair treatment that can be used to add curl and body to your hair. Every perm has two parts: the physical wrapping of the hair into shapes and a chemical bath that breaks and then reforms the disulphide bonds of your hair. Although uncommon, you can do a perm yourself at home, and if you choose to go to a salon, it can be helpful if you can accurately and exactly describe what you want.
Getting Ready to Perm
1Be sure that a perm is really what you want. As the name implies, a perm is permanent - you'll grow out new hair that won't be permed, but the rest of it will be curled for up to six months, and a little less curly still after that. If you only want curly hair a few days a week, try hot rollers or a curling iron instead; if you want curly, wavy, or hair with body every day, a perm is the way to go.
2Know your hair type. It is critical to know what type of hair you have and what condition your hair is in. This is an important first step in determining the kind of perm to get and mitigating adverse effects like hair loss and breakage.
- Resistant hair, resistant gray hair, Asian hair, hair with low elasticity, fine hair, and coarse or strong hair are usually best treated with an alkaline perm.
- Healthy hair with good elasticity, tinted hair, damaged hair, highlighted hair, or fragile hair are permed with a milder acid perm.
- If you have hair that has been extensively color treated or damaged, or if you have typical African-American hair, it's probably best to visit a salon. Find a stylist who specializes in working with hair like yours to minimize damage.
3Get a haircut first. It'll be more difficult (though not impossible) to cut your hair after you have a perm, so trim up any split ends beforehand.
- Decide what to do with your bangs (optional). If you have bangs, try to have a plan for them before you perm. Be aware that permed bangs can look particularly fluffy; if this isn't the look you want, you might want to wait a month or two for them to grow out before you get a perm. If you do decide to go with a perm while you have bangs, ask yourself: Are you going to keep them straight? Are you going to perm them?
4Also decide where you want the perm to start. If you get it all the way to the roots, remember that new hair that isn't permed will be visible.
5Decide whether you want a salon perm or a home perm. It's possible to perm your hair at home, and it's a bit less expensive that way. However, if you go to a stylist, you can trust that he or she has probably done several perms, and will remedy any mistakes for free. Consider these points:
- If you're attempting a subtle perm, visit a stylist. You might accidentally over-process your hair on your own.
- If your hair is significantly damaged or has been extensively color treated, it's probably best to book an appointment at a salon. Damaged hair will react differently to a perm than healthy hair will, and a trained stylist will know how to bridge the difference.
- If your hair is already a bit wavy or kinky, try to find a stylist who specializes in working with such hair. He or she will be able to ensure that you come out with a smooth permed look, instead of having curls with intermittent kinks.
- If you have fairly healthy hair with plenty of elasticity, you've done an at-home perm before, or you're generally an expert at doing your own hair, you can probably get away with perming your hair at home.
6Decide what sort of perm you want. Do you want small, tight curls? Or maybe you want larger, bouncy curls? Whatever it is, get a good idea of what you expect before you set out to perm your hair.
- Understand that your hair will be tighter when it first comes out of the curlers than it will be for the duration of your perm. The curls will "fall" a bit as time goes on. It might be a good idea, then, to perm your hair just a little more tightly than you want it.
7Set aside plenty of time. A perm can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to accomplish. After that, you'll have to let the perm "set" for 24 hours, which means no washing or styling your hair, and no pulling it back. Additionally, you won't be able to wash your hair until 48 hours after the perm. Make sure your schedule can accommodate these limits.
Perming Your Hair at Home
1Consider enlisting the help of a friend. It can be difficult to work with the hair at the back of your head, and you'll be working within some time constraints. Having a friend to help you speed along the process and make sure the rollers are tight can ease your mind.
2Purchase an at-home perm kit. These can usually be found at supermarkets, pharmacies, or beauty supply stores.
3Read and understand the directions. If you've having someone help you, make sure he or she reads the instructions as well. Pay particular attention to any time limits.
4Comb hair and get all the knots out.
5Shampoo your hair. Use a rich protein conditioning treatment (one might have come with the kit you purchased). You should NEVER condition your hair before a perm as the perm solution won't get into the hair properly will not set properly.
- Do not wrap your hair in towel turban when you get out of the shower. The added friction can knot and damage vulnerable wet hair. Instead, carefully pat your hair with a towel until it's more damp than wet.
- If you must comb your hair again, carefully and gently comb with a wide-tooth comb, working tangles out as you move from the ends toward the scalp.
6Wear the correct safety equipment. Perm chemicals are not designed for use on the skin. Always wear gloves that will resist the chemicals (usually any kind of plastic glove will work).
7Protect the skin around your neck, face and scalp using a petroleum jelly like Vaseline. Don't forget your ears! Outline the entire crown of your head with the jelly. This will keep any of the chemicals from dripping down your skin.
8Put an old towel around your shoulders. Underneath the towel, wear clothing that you wouldn't be heartbroken to lose, such as an old T-shirt and sweatpants.
9Split your hair into four equal sections. Use non-metallic clips to hold back the sections you're not working with at the moment. You can also use any hair clips
10Place the rods. There are many kinds of rods available to produce a variety of different kinds of perm.
- When wrapping the hair, start and the top and wrap down.
- Put on perm paper on the back of hair and front and roll hair on to rods.
- Avoid bunching or clumping your hair around the rods.
- The tightness of the curl depends on the size of the rod. The tightness of the wrap and how long the perm solution stays in the hair.
- For the most natural-looking curls, use a straight or cylindrical rod. This allows you to wrap your hair around the rod at the same width from top to bottom.
- Unless you are very confident in your abilities, avoid the home use of spiral or concave rods.
11Apply the perm solution. Begin at the scalp, as that gives it longer to work in that area. Carefully massage the perm solution into all of your hair.
12Keep the solution at the correct temperature. Leave the perm solution in for the amount of time needed for your desired effect.
13Rinse the perm solution out of your hair completely. It is vital to get rid of all of the solution.
14Apply a professional neutralizer. The neutralizing solution begins the process of re-forming the broken proteins in your hair.
15Carefully towel dry or blot your hair. Hold your head upside down and shake it gently. Be sure not to let the towel damage your new curls as it will take up to 24 hours for your perm to set. Do not comb your hair while perm is in, only massage or blot.
16Permed hair needs a great deal of attention and care. Learning to care for your perm is an important step in any hair regimen.
Perming Your Hair at a Salon
1Communicate exactly what you want. During the consultation with your stylist before your perm, tell him or her exactly what you expect from the process. Outline how you usually style your hair, how big you want the curls to be, and which products you tend to use.
- Know that a perm that results in larger, looser curls is sometimes referred to as a body wave. If this is what you want, use that term to communicate it to your stylist.
2Plan to spend up to 4 hours at the salon. If you think you'll get bored, grab a few magazines from the reception area, or bring a paperback book that you won't mind losing if it gets chemicals dripped onto it.
3If the smell becomes unbearable, ask your stylist for a wet washcloth. The chemicals used to perm hair can smell noxious, and might irritate your nose. If this begins to happen, request a damp washcloth and hold it over your nose and mouth, breathing through it.
- If the chemicals start irritating your eyes, keep them closed. It won't last forever.
4Evaluate your style when the process is over. Keep in mind that your curls will be a little tighter immediately after the perm than they will be in a few days. If you're unhappy with any aspect of the style, tell your stylist your concerns before you leave the salon. He or she can make plans to address any lapses as soon as possible.
Community Q&A
How do I sleep with a perm?wikiHow ContributorGet a hair net or satin sleeping cap. A silk or satin scarf could work too, but you would probably have to pin it to stay in place.
Do perming cause further damage to rough hair?wikiHow ContributorNot necessarily, your hair's roughness or softness stays the same, provided it is done properly. What does change is that it will become drier and frizzier, something you need to control well.
What are some resources I can use to find out where to buy perm products?wikiHow ContributorYou can buy perm supplies and products at beauty supply shops and salons. The employees can also help you with what product you should buy based on your hair type.
I'm a male with uneven bangs. Should I try to even out my hair or just get it permed the way that it is?wikiHow ContributorYes, try to even them out. If you don't, when you get your perm, your curls will be uneven as well, and it will be more noticeable.
Is it possible to use small rollers for bigger curls instead of perm rods?wikiHow ContributorNo, small rollers will make the curls smaller. The perm rods are specially designed to make perfect curls without mistakes, so it is better to use those.
When getting a perm at the salon does it have to be my whole hair that has to get it or can it just be the bottom half?wikiHow ContributorIt can absolutely just the bottom half.
How do I treat my hair after the perm?wikiHow ContributorYou shouldn't comb/brush your perm when it is dry. If you want to rid your hair of any tangles, do it when your hair is wet. When washing, rinse out all the conditioner with warm water and gently squeeze the water from your hair.
Can I cut my hair before a perm?wikiHow ContributorYes. That is actually a good idea because it may be more difficult to cut after you get the perm.
Do I wash my hair before perm?wikiHow ContributorYes. You should wash your hair about 1 to 2 hours before the perm. Let your hair dry naturally and then get your perm done.
Is it possible to perm my hair permanently?wikiHow ContributorPermed hair lasts for up to six months. You would need to visit a salon or stylist after that period of time. Permed hair is permanent on hair, that the treatment has been applied to but the hair that grows will not be permed.
Can I fix a perm?
I just had a salon perm. The top half did not take. Can I wash it out?
Instead of using rolls can you braid your hair to get that raid wave?
How to perm the bottom half of my hair only to give a bouncy curl?
Can hair be permed if it was relaxed 4 months ago?
- It is far better to let your hair dry naturally after a perm. If you must use a hair dryer, make sure you use one with a diffuser to avoid further damage.
- Carefully towel blot your hair dry after a wash. Avoid tangles as it can damage the hair perm.
- As perm grows, spray a volumizing product to the roots and blow dry at the scalp to create added lift.
- Never ever comb your hair when it is still setting from the perm solution.
- Aggressive shampooing must be avoided. Use conditioners specially created for permed hair.
- It is very important to remember to not wash your hair until 48 hours after the perm.
- Have your hair trimmed every 5 weeks or so to remove split ends and unwanted growth out of your curls.
- Before you get your perm, make sure you use bar soap to wash your hair instead of shampoo, so the oils will get out of your hair.
- When perming wear old clothes because clothes may get ruined.
- After your perm, use specially designed hair care products like conditioners designed for permed hair. Products known as rejuvenators are used to keep your perm in good shape. These products will also add shine and body to your hair. Consider the use of a mister for these products.
- Don't lay your head down when you first get a perm because it will permanently make marks on your hair.
- Shampoo with daily clarifying shampoo before perming. It will help remove any unnecessary oils and debris from the hair but gentle enough it can be used every day.
- Too much perming or a perm done incorrectly can seriously damage your hair, leaving it brittle and thin. Always consult a professional hair stylist if this happens to you.
- A bad perm or a perm that does not "take" can be difficult to remove.
- Select individuals, especially redheads, have hair that is naturally resistant to perms. Red hair contains more sulfur than other types. This resistance is an inherited or genetic trait. The only solution is to use a stronger perm solution than you usually would. However, this may damage the hair so badly it can break.
- Colored hair should not be permed. Color your hair after the perm. If you must perm colored or tinted hair, mix the bottle that says color activator with the perm.
- If your scalp starts to burn unbearably while perm is activating, immediately wash out the solution
Things You'll Need
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Plastic gloves to protect your fingers
- Scissors or big pin to cut or puncture the solution bottles
- An old towel to wrap around your head to soak up drips
- Petroleum jelly to protect your head, face, ears, neck
- Plastic shower cap or food wrap to cover the curls while the perm works. A non-metallic clip to hold the plastic in place if you're using wrap instead of a cap
- Wet towel or sponge to wipe drips from your skin
- Timer
- Perm and neutralizer solution
- 25-35 Perm rods to wrap your hair around
- End paper to keep the ends flat

Love & Candlelight
Exquisite! There are no other words that best describe Alyson and Greg's special day. This bride put her heart into every detail and it showed.
This magical chuppah was the first statement piece the guests were greeted with. Our bride had a vision of floating orchids and our team of designers were able to bring that vision to life! White mini cymbidiums were strung and affixed to the flower covered chuppah.
After the ceremony the guests found their place cards on a table with a clean crisp look of all white phalaeonopsis orchids in Italian flared vases.
We love when brides choose to have two or three different styles of centerpieces with varying heights, especially in large ballrooms. A third of her tables had six different size candlesticks in the center, some with floating candles and some with flowers; a tight nosegay of all white roses, a mound of white hydrangea and stems of white phalaeonopsis orchids.
Another centerpiece style she chose was this oversized low round vase with all white flowers that was surrounded by multi height floating candlesticks.
The remaining guest tables consisted of 3 cubes of her signature white flowers with floating candles mixed in.
This head table is straight out of a fairytale! Long, glass containers filled to the brim of lush white flowers ran the length of the table on each side with an assortment of the floating candles in the middle. There was a single orchid blossom placed on each of the napkins to finish off the elegant look.
Alyson wanted something nontraditional for her cake and the end result was this stunner! She went with three smaller bridal cakes lined with large, lush cages of all white flowers and floating candlesticks tucked amongst them.
This was a magical night that we were so blessed to be a part of. We are thrilled when we are able to make our brides dreams come true and Alyson was sure to let us know we accomplished that! She called us multiple times after the wedding to let us know how much she loved it and even wrote this sweet review!
What do you get when you cross Superbowl 50 with your 50th Anniversary? Only The Party of the Year!
This was the Party of the Century! We were lucky enough to be a part of this amazing Super bowl party and work with some of the best vendors out there! This took place on Super bowl Sunday at the stunning Hotel Emma. Guests were greeted with a 50 foot turf runner, cheerleaders, football players and even a mascot that led to oversized megaphones and a drum line to start the party off right!
There were three different areas of the party, the Owners Private event, the Pub and the kids hangout! The kids had a blast with different gaming systems, arcade games and lots of party favors!
The Pub was set up with Karaoke, neon signs, electronic dart board, a pool table and of course big screens to watch the game!
The owners party took place in the main ballroom. Lush arrangements of red roses atop sequined linens were placed throughout the room with a show stopping piece in the center of a round red LED lit bar. Wait staff had custom football jerseys and bartenders were decked out in referee attire, complete with whistle.
Leading to the ballroom was an action station framed with 2 large pilsner arrangements of all red roses.
It certainly was an "action" station as the staff at Emma continuously filled this counter with gorgeous food presentations all evening.
And if that wasn't enough, check out the outrageous dessert table!
The special treat of the night was a surprise for all of the guests. The hosts planned a spectacular Half-Time show with DJ Stradivari "The Violin Guy". He is a worldwide entertainer and puts on the most mesmerizing performance where he plays different instruments, sings and has an accompanying laser show!
Oscar Night!
What an exciting time for this family, who celebrated the nomination of their brother at the Academy Awards. Because they could not all join him in Los Angeles they hosted an event here in San Antonio and pulled out all the stops, including the red carpet!
The Guests were able to take fun pictures with oversized statues and our host presented their own Oscars including Best Dressed Guest!
The tables were dressed in black satin cloths with red runners that had film strip edging and walk-of-fame stars. Oversized crystal trees, hanging candles and red roses were worthy of this elegant Academy Award night. Here at Alamo Plants & Petals we absolutely love theme parties and this was no exception!
Bringing the Ranch to the Southwest School of Art
This is the year for gorgeous rehearsal dinners! We had the pleasure to help kick off the weekend right for this great couple. There were so many personal touches and details the Groom's family put into this to help make it even more special. Rustic has never been more elegant!
A portion of the guest tables had unique arrangements of hydrangea, callas, orchids, succulents, roses and pincushion protea created in wood cork containers. Each arrangement included antlers that were provided by the Grooms family and thornless cactus were used as place cards.
The remaining guests tables were equally as stunning! Antlers, tucks of flowers, limestone, copper votive candles and tall iron candelabras ran the length of the 30 foot table. Orchids, succulents, hypericum berries, callas, roses, de-petaled sunflowers and pincushions added great texture to the table. It was a magical site to see!
The head table had a large iron tree wrapped with honeysuckle vine, hanging candles, tucks of flowers and antlers around the base. Each place setting had a wood slice charger and a pheasant feather to give it more of a personal touch for the bride and groom.
The place card table featured handmade shotgun shell holders and was flanked with 2 large arrangements of lilies, orchids, roses, green trick, hypericum berries, sunflower centers, pincushions, callas and greenery. We incorporated provided antlers as well as two taxidermied quail that the Grooms family brought in. All of these items helped personalize their special night!
Heather & Joe | January 24th, 2015 | Club Giraud
While we have worked with Keith at Club Giraud for many years and many events, we knew this wedding needed to top them all! After all, it was for his very own daughter!
Heather and Joe celebrated their special day at the historic Club Giraud.
The elegant tone of the evening was evident as the guests arrived at the entry door decorated with an opulent wreath of open roses, hydrangea and lilies in the softest shades of white, ivory and blush (and that was only the beginning!)
Upon entering the Club, the sconces that lined the hallway were decorated with large flower badges made of white hydrangea, ivory and blush garden roses, white lilies and Italian ruscus.
The bride and groom at the outdoor ceremony were framed by two large and lush urns in the same color palette.
The aisle was lined with fresh rose petals and chairs were trimmed with nosegays of flowers in clear glass cones with groupings of candles completing her dreamy vision.
The bride carried a glamorous bouquet of white hydrangea, ivory garden roses, blush roses, gardenias and rhinestone embellished stephanotis and was finished off with her personal broaches to add that special sparkle.
The mothers carried delicate nosegays of ivory spray roses and rhinestone embellished stephanotis.
One of our favorite personal touches was the boutonniere for the Father of the Bride, a wine connoisseur, made with a wine cork and a fresh rose.
Moving from the ceremony to reception the guests were in awe of the stunning centerpieces and floral chandeliers. The guest tables held black vases with lush spheres of ivory and blush floral arrangements. Looking up was just as beautiful as looking around the room.
Leaving no stone unturned, the dancing continued in a room equally embellished with grand floral arrangements.
A fantastic cake by Cathy Young (is there anything from her that's not?) was a masterpiece. Tucking in hydrangea and roses between the layers and adding tailored black bows made this great tasting cake beautiful to look at.
A gorgeous basket adorned with badges of flowers and filled with fresh petals was placed for guests to grab a handful of petals to celebrate the Bride's and Groom's sendoff. Petal baskets make for the prettiest pictures!
Congratulations Heather and Joe. Your day was gorgeous and we were honored to be a part of it!
Morris Baptism | October 18th, 2014 |
We love gorgeous parties but this baptism takes the cake!! Jacey wanted something soft with a garden feel yet still sophisticated! The outdoor setting on this perfect sunny day was the perfect backdrop for the arrangements she chose.
Arrangements were placed in a collection of classic blue and white ceramic pottery.
The flowers included dahlias, tulips, hydrangea, garden roses, spray roses, ranunculus, silver brunia, wispy vines and seeded eucalyptus in tones of pinks, blush, peach and cream. The arrangements were very feminine but the contrast of the vase kept it sophisticated and unique just like Jacey wanted.
Tents were placed throughout the yard and patio that added to the party's elegance.
Arrangements, both grand and petite, were placed on all of the outdoor tables as well as distributed inside of the home.
The lovely cake had a lush topper made of white hydrangea, pink and peach garden roses, blush ranunculus, pink tulips and seeded eucalyptus.
A Special shout out to Debbie Fisher with Luxe Decor for her beautiful linens, chairs and
tents and to Matthew Alvarado for supplying us with these gorgeous photos.
Congratulations to all of us for being featured in Style me Pretty for this amazing party.
Claire & Virgil | October 12th | Dominion Country Club
Claire and Vigil were married at the beautiful Dominion Country Club on October 12th, 2014. The ceremony took place under a stunning chuppah covered in smilax, honeysuckle vine and badges of fuschia stock.
The bride carried a lush bouquet of white stock, vendela roses, white lisianthus with soft tendrils, white hydrangea and cream cymbidium orchids with fuschia throats. The bridesmaids carried very colorful bouquets of blue hydrangea, citron green fuji mums, green hypericum berries, fuschia stock and fushcia dendrobium orchids.
The flower girl looked very sweet in her floral halo made of ivy leaves, fuschia dendrobium orchids and green hypericum berries while carrying her basket trimmed to match.
The guest tables had three different styles of centerpieces that were mixed among them. The first was an oversized bubble bowl with winding pink mini callas, blue hydrangea, fuschia dendrobium and cymbidium orchids, and citron green fujis and hypericum berries.
The second arrangement was a tall cylinder with a single stem of fuschia cymbidium orchids. The pin spotting on this made it look magical.
The third centerpiece style was a show-stopping asymmetrical arrangement atop a tall clear glass vase. Blue hydrangea, fuschia dendrobium orchids, green dendrobium orchids, green fuji mums, green trick and pink mini callas.
All three arrangements looked fabulous together and were eye catching to the guests.
Congratulations Claire and Virgil, thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!

WV2 will not move up two divisions to face Juanma
Former WBO super bantamweight world champion Wilfredo "WV2" Vazquez of Bayamon, Puerto Rico will not move up two divisions to fight Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez at super featherweight on January 19 at MSG.
"We where offered the fight at the featherweight limit and we had an agreement in principal with Top Rank's Carl Moretti," said WV2's promoter Tuto Zabala, Jr. "We have no problem fighting Juanma, it's all about business. It's a very interesting fight and Puerto Rican fight fans are eagerly waiting for it.
"After they agreed, now they want to take advantage with the divisions. If he can no longer make the featherweight limit then we will wait for our WBO jr. featherweight title fight. There's no rush, we want our title back and the winner of the Donaire-Arce fight on December 15. The day will come at the right moment. We already beat Juanma's pupil Jonathan Oquendo to prove who is the best super bantamweight in Puerto Rico and we are available to prove who is the best featherweight of the Island by knocking him out."

Best boots i have ever worn.COMMENTS:
When I first tried these boots on I couldn't believe how light and comfortable these boots were. They definately don't feel like steel toe boots. I wear these for at least a 10 hr work day and i don't feel any foot fatigue. They are even comfortable if you are walking a lot.
Comfort, style, and safetyCOMMENTS:
I work backstage for a theatre, constructing and moving heavy scenery and these boots have been a blessing. They are extremely comfortable with great ankle support and cushioning on the sole. They also make me feel very safe with the steel toe protecting me. They're great! They are also very cool looking in my black uniform. I thought my shoe size was a 5.5, but these feel like 6, so perhaps I would be eve more comfortable in size 5.
Love them!COMMENTS:
Great work boot where steel toes are required! Light weight. Doesn't feel like a steel toe boot at all!
great boot never hurt my feetCOMMENTS:
work never hurt my feet
The best quality boot I've ever found!COMMENTS:
I love these boots. They fit perfect, hold up well to all my outdoor activities,and are easy to clean and maintain. They are extremely comfortable and last me for years. I can't find a better boot- these are the BEST!!
comfortable and toughCOMMENTS:
They are great for my tough job at a lumber mill. Comfortable, rain resistant, and the safety toe comes in handy.
