One of our Big Brother bloggers writes: Officially Love Island is a loser in the ratings war. Even new contestants being drafted in has not made much impact and clearly none of them are in love (except with themselves), so why is this show so entertaining?
The newspapers have already judged Love Island to be a failure. The ratings are dropping and ITV appear to be panicking. The producers have added a new contestant to try to spice things up and Patrick and Fearne look increasingly hysterical as they present the show. It is easy to see why Love Island get such a bad press.
BUT, compared to many of the reality shows on TV at the moment, it should be leading the field. Celebrities on horses, Celebrities on ice, Celebrities in the sauna....Ok, that one is made up but you get my drift.
I would much rather watch people fall in love than watch them live in a pretend jungle and eat bugs, while applauding them for their bravery.
Perhaps watching rich people get richer simply by having a long holiday in Fiji winds the viewers up. Giving 'Celebrities' a luxury holiday probably seems like a waste of money and time.
Admittedly there are no real characters in the show that people can relate to. But the same can be said for Big Brother. People watch BB to see how weird the housemates will be. The contestants are never people that you would want to live with - it is supposed to be a pantomime. Love Island has this same quality. Watching the show makes me marvel at the insecurity and ignorance of the 'Celebrities'. It makes me fervently dislike some of them and warm to others. If you have not yet seen it, there have been some true comedy moments.
Sophie Anderton. The model came to Love Island hoping to show people what she is really like and to dispel her negative image. Good plan in theory, except that she is EXACTLY how she comes across. She cries, moans, bitches and seems to have a genuine problem talking about anything but herself. Hilariously, she has also imagined a relationship with Shane. For her this means star crossed lovers and true compatibility. For him, this means that he sees her as his, er, sister. You are so in there, Soph.
The little one called Lee. Think he was in Hollyoaks. Poor boy, I have never seen anyone so skinny or so childlike. It doesn't help that the amount of silicone on the Island makes him seem even smaller. Has developed a crush on Bianca Gascoigne. Has given her obvious hints from day one, which she has wisely ignored. Has now moved on to the Playboy model, Colleen. Watching him not get anywhere with anyone for seven weeks has to be worth a look.
And finally, the weird phenomenon that happens when 'Celebrities' appear on reality TV. They start crying, pouring out their little hearts to the cameras, developing unrequited obsessions and generally talking about how they have really changed and how the public has seen the 'real' them. Before coming home and releasing their Island diet plans etc. If not truly heart-warming, then at least good for a cheap laugh.

The Girlfriend Experience [DVD] [876964002127]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Steven Soderbergh is a cerebral filmmaker and, not surprisingly, his characters often live with their emotions compartmentalized. The lead character in THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE is no different. Chelsea (adult-film actress Sasha Gray) is a high-priced escort whose strict set of rules for dealing with clients allows her to maintain a seemingly healthy, honest relationship with her boyfriend Chris (Chris Santos), a personal trainer. But when a new customer invites her on a weekend excursion, she accepts, even though she knows this violates her bond with Chris. All of this transpires during a few weeks in October 2008, when the country is embroiled in both the presidential election, and, more importantly, the sudden economic downturn--Soderbergh consistently underscores that money is the chief concern for Chelsea and Chris, and everyone around them. She negotiates with a web designer to create a site that will build her notoriety, and contends with the extortions of a sleazeball blogger (movie critic Glenn Kenny). Meanwhile Chris tries to convince his boss to make him a partner at the gym, and accepts free trips to Vegas from one of his clients.
THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE is among the best of Soderbergh's "little" films (BUBBLE, SCHIZOPOLIS), ventures where he recharges his artistic batteries and tries out new techniques before jumping back into the world of superstars and big budgets. The casting of porn star Grey gives the director exactly what he wants: a flat, uncharismatic performance that gives the character mystery. Other than money, we're not sure what motivates her, and that's the point: Chelsea doesn't know either. For those inclined to follow Soderbergh down every nook and cranny of his career, THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE is a welcome reminder of how probing he can be about matters of the heart.

Critic Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t holds your attention. Once more, Soderbergh demonstrates he's a silky smooth craftsman..."
Box Office
"What THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE does -- co-scripted by Brian Koppelman and David Levien but incorporating improv -- does best is capture the way language has ben vitiated by meaningless marketing-speak."
Film Comment
"The thinking behind Grey's casting, with its obvious sex-industry connections, lends the film a degree of verisimilitude..." -- Grade: B+
A.V. Club
4 stars out of 4 -- "This film is true about human nature....It is not universal, but within its particular focus, it is unrelenting."
Chicago Sun-Times
"THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE has a sleek, tailored look appropriate to its setting, which is the moneyed precincts of Manhattan at the height -- and most likely the end -- of the recent gilded age."
New York Times
"The film manages a career-spanning panache: Soderbergh taps into the nervy impulses of his earliest endeavor, SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE as well as OCEAN'S ELEVEN."
Washington Post
3 stars out of 5 -- "What makes THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE a fresh provocation is not the new ways available to build a fantasy but the near-impossibility of negotiating one you can actually believe in."
Rolling Stone
"THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENJCE is a mysterious and arresting look at how the culture of money turns love and desire into something you want to control." -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
"[D]irected with cool, affectless precision by Steven Soderbergh..."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Stylishly shot on HD, the movie unfolds in sleek, faceless hotel rooms, restaurants and boutiques....Grey is perfect."
Total Film
Included in Entertainment Weekly's "The Best Films Of The Year" -- "THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE is a voyeuristic snapshot of a society in quiet chaos."

M3 as a good Daily Driver?
Hi there,
I'm looking for a
daily driver that gets decent fuel economy. My one way commute is 30 miles/ 60 miles each day.
Currently I commute with my Nissan Titan which averages 15mpg 4 days a week.
The other day I take my '06 Carrera S which is a great car and really fun to drive, it just happens that I find my self not wanting to use this car as a commuter. I'm averaging 17.5 mpg on premium which is not a whole lot better than the truck.
So that brings me to a e36 M3. Always been a fan and almost bought one back in 2000, but got a 300zx TT instead, then almost bought one again in 05 but bought a '02 540i instead.
What kind of fuel economy are you getting when you are not romping on it? I imagine you are averaging about 24mpg? 28mpg strictly highway? 18 on the street? sound accurate?
A 4 door 5 speed Estoril Blue would be ideal
2002 BMW 540i 6 speed.
Mods: CDV valve delete, e36 M3 shifter.

RejectionWiki: Thank You for Sending Us "[Title]"
Feeling rejected? Here's one for you! We've just stumbled upon RejectionWiki, which looks to be a database for the purpose of collecting rejection letters. Or as they put it:
RejectionWiki was born from the Poets & Writers forums, a place where writers come together to talk about writing and the writing life. A big part—really, a massive part—of writing is dealing with rejection and developing and maintaining a healthy attitude towards it. Everybody gets rejected, hundreds and hundreds of times, and writers need a thick skin in order to persevere. Writers understand the necessity of the form rejection letter, but often the wording can confuse. That's where the RejectionWiki comes in.
The goal of the RejectionWiki is to house the standard (or "boilerplate" as they are often known) rejections as well as upper-tier rejection letters. These upper-tier rejections are usually still forms, but knowing that you made a few rounds to that upper-tier can be encouraging. The more different tiers of rejection letters people share, the more transparent the whole process will become.
As with most wikis, this is a work in progress. Please be patient and get involved!
If you've been saving up your rejection letters for no good reason, this might be a worthy stage. Lots of journals up have no entries thus far–including Harper's, the Iowa Review, the Paris Review, and another we've heard a little bit about…
And then there are others full up, like A Public Space, which has three rejections posted already. Boston Review, among others, has three tiers: Standard, Tiered, and Higher Tiered. Por ejemplo:
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review your work. We have given it close consideration and find that it does not suit our present needs. We wish you success in placing your work elsewhere. Thank you for thinking of Boston Review.
The Editors of Boston Review
Thank you for sending us "[title]"
Though this submission does not suit our present needs, we look forward to reading more.
The Editors of Boston Review
Higher Tiered
Thank you for sending us "[title]."
Your submission was well written and quite engaging. After careful consideration, we have decided it does not suit our current needs. However, we do encourage you to send future work for further consideration.
We look forward to reading more.
The Editors of Boston Review

WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
by Techwriters Future
WEP - (Wired Equivalent Privacy), a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11 standard. WEP is so called because it was designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. But LANs are actually more secure than WLANs because LANs are restricted by physical access that secures them from unauthorized access. But WLANs use radio waves that do not enjoy the same privacy and are prone to unauthorized access. But before researching further into this lets go through WEP in detail.
WEP security an Overview
WEP was one of the first attempts to fix this insecurity issue in wireless LANs. The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm was designed to be used to protect wireless communication from unauthorized eavesdropping and restricting access to a wireless network.
According to section 8.2.2 of the 1999 IEEE 802.11 standard states the following, as the objectives for WEP (quoted verbatim):
It is reasonably strong: The security afforded by the algorithm relies on the difficulty of discovering the secret key through a brute-force attack. This in turn is related to the length of the secret key and the frequency of changing keys. WEP allows for the changing of the key (K) and frequent changing of the Initialization Vector(IV).
It is self-synchronizing: WEP is self-synchronizing for each message. This property is critical for a data-link-level encryption algorithm, where "best effort" delivery is assumed and packet loss rates may be high.
It is efficient: The WEP algorithm is efficient and may be implemented in either hardware or software.
It may be exportable: Every effort has been made to design the WEP system operation so as to maximize the chances of approval, by the U.S. Department of Commerce, of export from the U.S. of products containing a WEP implementation. However, due to the legal and political climate toward cryptography at the time of publication, no guarantee can be made that any specific IEEE 802.11 implementations that use WEP will be exportable from the USA.
It is optional: The implementation and use of WEP is an IEEE 802.11 option.
WEP Operation and Implementation
WEP is used at the two lowest layers of the OSI model - the data link and physical layers. Let's study this a little further and see how WEP works.
WEP uses the RC4 algorithm to encrypt the packets of information as they are sent out from the access point or wireless network interface card. As soon as the other access point receives the packets sent by the user's network interface card it decrypts them.
Fig. Wireless Network
WEP relies on a 40 or 64-bit secret key that is shared between a mobile station and an access point to encrypt and decrypt the data. This secret key is used to encrypt packets before they are transmitted, and an integrity check is used to ensure that packets are not modified in transit.
Let's see this concept in detail, each byte of data is encrypted using a unique packet key. This ensures that if a hacker tries and suceeds to crack this packet key the only information that is leaked is that which is contained in that particular packet. The actual encryption logic used in RC4 algorithm is that the plain text is XOR-ed with an infinitely long keystream. The security of RC4 comes from the secrecy of the packet key that is derived from the keystream. It should be noted that WEP only encrypts data between 802.11 stations that is wireless stations. Once the frame enters the wired network side, such as between access points, WEP no longer applies.
Fig. WEP encryption protocol (Reference url: http://en.hakin9.org/ )
Authentication Methods in WEP
WEP uses two types of authentication methods Open System authentication and Shared Key authentication.
Let's take the first case, in the Open System authentication any WLAN client, regardless of its WEP keys, can authenticate itself with the Access Point and then attempt to associate. After the authentication and association, WEP is used for encrypting the data frames. But at this point, the client needs to have the right keys.
Shared Key authentication is a little bit complex, here WEP is used for authentication by using a four way handshake that works as follows
The client station sends an authentication request to the Access Point.
On receiving the request the Access Point sends back a clear text challenge.
The client has to then encrypt the challenge text using the configured WEP key, and send it back in another authentication request.
On reception the Access Point decrypts the material, and compares it with the clear-text it had sent earlier. Depending on the success of this comparison, the Access Point sends back a positive or negative response. After this authentication and association, WEP is used for encrypting the data frames.
Shortcomings of WEP and its Impact Security
Eventhough WEP was one of the primary protocols used for wireless security with advent of time WEP experienced many limitations and which undermined the security claims of the system. The main reason was the cryptographic protocol design. So where did the WEP actually went wrong, WEP is actually vulnerable because of a relatively short IVs and keys that remain static.
IV is known as
Initialization Vector
and can be defined as 3-byte random number generated by the computer. It's either prepended or appended to the cipher text and sent to the receiver who strips the IV off before decrypting the cipher text.
With only 24 bits, WEP eventually uses the same IV for different data packets. For a large busy network, this reoccurrence of IVs can happen within a short periods. This results in the transmission of frames having keystreams that are too similar. If enough frames are collected based on the same IV, anyone can determine the shared values among them, that is the keystream or the shared secret key. And eventually lead to the decryption of any of the 802.11 frames. A security breach as we say.
The static nature of the shared secret keys emphasizes this problem because 802.11 doesn't provide any function that supports the exchange of keys among stations. Hence users generally use the same keys for a very longer period of time without changing. This gives a hacker plenty of time to monitor and hack into WEP enabled networks. Hence WEP can only be implemented as a low level Security in Wireless networks.
These flaws gave way for the following attacks which made WEP further unsuitable:
Passive attacks to decrypt traffic based on statistical analysis.
Active attack to inject new traffic from unauthorized mobile stations, based on known plaintext.
Active attacks to decrypt the traffic, based on tricking the access point.
Dictionary-building attack that, after analysis of about a day's worth of traffic, allows real-time automated decryption of all traffic.
Key recovery programs became common that utilizes the existing vulnerability of the WEP system to gain the keys. One of such program for wireless attack is AirSnort. Key recovery with AirSnort takes only a few seconds once enough encrypted frames are gathered.
It is possible to derive the static WEP key by capturing the four handshake frames in Shared Key authentication.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) limitations and flaws were mainly due to the cryptographic protocol design and their combination.In order to make WEP effective a deeper analysis into its protocol design is necessary. But still WEP can be used to an extent with other security functions like MAC based filtering.
The IEEE group, which sets the standards for wireless networking, had been working to fix WEP with a new standard called 802.11i , a standard for wireless local area networks that provides improved encryption by using encryption key protocols, known as Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).Further study and research is going on 802.11 to make the protocol and security standards more advanced and secured.

Charles Dance thinks Ed Miliband is being held back by his glottal stop. The Game of Thrones star, who was reading last night alongside writers such as Rose Tremain and Lemn Sissay at the Southbank Centre for World Book Night, explained that his politics "like my nose, veers distinctly to the left" but that he is driven crazy by the Labour leader's poor enunciation.
"I wish he would stop glottal stopping. He's a good speaker but it completely detracts from what he's saying and it feels patronising, as if he thinks that's how he should be talking to the common man.
"You can see the rest of the Labour politicians starting to pick up on it, because they're thinking 'Oh, this is how we're meant to be speaking'. It's pathetic."
Does he think there's any similarity between the bloody politics of Game of Thrones and the bickering of the Coalition? "Certainly not," said Dance. "We're sexier and crueller. Though I suppose it might be more entertaining if the Coalition were more like us."

Local 19 Year Old Art Student Released from ICE Detention
A local art student who immigrated to the U.S. from Honduras as a child and is protected by former President Barack Obama's 'DACA' declaration was released late last night after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers after he was arrested on a minor marijuana possession charge, News Radio 1200 WOAI reprots.
Josue Romero is a student at Southwest School of Art.
The immigrant rights group RAICES moved quickly to secure his release, supported by a letter to ICE from U.S. Rep Lloyd Doggett (D-Tx)."Josue was apparently arrested for possession of less than two ounces of marijuana," Doggett wrote. "He poses no threat to our security or safety. The only threat to safety is what may well happen to him personally if he is deported to Honduras."
DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, was introduced by the Obama Adminsitration in 2012. The goal is to grant temporary legal status to people who came to the U.S. as minor children with their illegal immigrant parents. The idea is many of these people have no knowledge of their home country, and many don't even speak the language. The Obama Administration argued that these people are no more 'criminal aliens' than a child who is strapped in a car seat while a parent robs a bank is a 'bank robber.'
Doggett pointed out that the DACA program is still in place, and President Trump said at his news conference yesterday that deciding what to do about DACA has been a very difficult challenge for him, but he promised to deal with the issue 'with heart.
'Doggett said ICE should not 'change this official policy on a case by case basis.'Meanwhile, ICE agents detained a woman at the El Paso County Courthouse after she went to the facility to seek a protective order against a live-in partner.
"Immigrants are uniquely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse," said the Texas Civil Rights Project. "Many are reluctant to report abuse because of possible immigration concerns."
Supporters of the immigrant in custody say if ICE begins to arrest illegal immigrants when the go to courthouses to report that they have been victims of crimes, it will 'interfere' with people's willingness to report crimes.

Finnish: head word is gestapo (lowercase)
German: is it a proper noun? Not me asking, already tagged. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:05, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
- German is indeed a proper noun. Needs proper formatting (should be easy). -- Prince Kassad 23:10, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hopefully ok now, split into lowercase and uppercase first letter. --Mglovesfun (talk) 16:23, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Striking. Finnish section has been moved to "gestapo". German "Gestapo" as referring to a particular organization is a proper noun, and is so marked up. --Dan Polansky 10:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
English plural "Gestapos"[edit]
Seems to have some use; appears in some dictionaries. Might be either any secret police force of this kind, or (erroneously?) an individual member of the Gestapo. Equinox ◑ 22:25, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Black soccer players have once again come under racist attacks on the field. This time, AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng was subjected to racism from the crowd during Thursday's game against Pro Patria.
He and fellow teammates M'Baye Niang, Urby Emanuelson and Sulley Muntari were subject to abuse from the fans, and in the first half, Boateng kicked a ball into the crowd. He then ripped off his shirt and walked off the field with his teammates and players from the opposing team.
"We are disappointed and saddened by what has happened," Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said.
"Milan play for the right to respect all players. We need to stop these uncivilized gestures. We are sorry for all the other fans who came here for a beautiful day of sport. We promise to return, and we are sorry for the club and players of Pro Patria, but we could not make any other decision. I hope it can be an important signal," he continued.
The Italian Football Association will conduct an investigation into the incident. Boateng later took to Twitter to share his disgust over the situation.
"Shame that these things still happen... #StopRacismforever," he wrote.

5 year CG looking for lower maintenance options
3 Attachment(s)
I've been CG for 5 years, and it has allowed my highlighted 2c/3a hair (that I was about to chop off back then in frustration) to grow CRAZY long (almost waist length) and healthy. I only cut it once, maybe twice, a year, and I'm about to go for my annual chop to bring it back to around bra strap length.
The thing about my CG routine that's starting to wear on me is how high-maintenance and time consuming it is. Granted, I have a lot of length which doesn't help the cause, but the thing I'd have to say I'm the most envious of my straight-haired friends is how EASY and FAST their routines are. They can grab any shampoo and conditioner, towel dry, quick blow dry, maybe hit with a straightener and DONE. If I've been at the beach or outside sweating, and all of sudden plans come up, I can't just wash my hair and go. I need almost 2 full hours to be ready. With that, here is my current routine:
Shampoo: Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat
Conditioner: Nature's Gate Persimmon Rosemary Geranium Condish
Comb out in shower with conditioner
Leave In: Same Nature's Gate condish
Styler: AG Re:coil curl creme
Gel: Bioterra Firm Hold (from Sally's)
Plop while I wash my face and apply body lotion
Duckbill clips at roots
Diffuse with PixieCurl method
It's exhausting. And takes forever.
I love my curls, I do, but I need a change.
That's where you all come in!!
I'm looking to maybe try going back to sulfates and silicones. Partially because it would be nice to be able to stroll into any drugstore when I need shampoo and conditioner, and partially because while I LOVE my curls, I want to see if I can achieve more of a relaxed wavy look. Especially up towards my roots... so my hair would be smoother at the top, with some wavy curliness towards the ends. I live at the beach, and I want that beachy hair look, and the low maintenance routine that goes with it!
I'd appreciate any inexpensive, readily available product suggestions (think Garnier, Tresseme... stuff you can find at Target). I want to try simple products like that, and just layering CK over it (a la Veronica Meza).
Here are some pics to give you an idea of my curls (and length):
The grass is always greener...... Changing products isn't likely to change your curl pattern. I'd love to have bigger, looser curls but my 3B/C hair is what it is. My current routine is similar to yours. I'm loving it. It wasn't all that long ago that I was using sulfates, cones, blow dryers and flat irons. It took forever but my hair looked great. For a while. If there was no humidity. And no wind. And I didn't sweat. I rarely made it through the day much less achieve 2nd or 3rd day hair without going through the whole routine again.
Currently, my hair doesn't fit my ideal picture. Neither do my thighs. But my hair is healthy and I'm no longer waging a daily war against a force I can't defeat.
I'm a huge advocate of doing what works for you. If using sulfates and cones gives you the results you want, then by all means, do it. Experiment with different products and routines. Let us know if you find something that works!
Sorry i cant recommend products, i recently went cg and am loving the none silicone and sulfate things. But i had to come say how absolutely gorgeous your hair is!!!!! I hope my length can get their some day. One product i do use on days i want to wear my hair looser is curly hair solutions extenzz. It helps loosen the curl pattern temporarily.
Oh and I can also relate.my hair is crazy hi maintenance. There are days i wish i can just wash and be done quick,
I guess I dont see what it is you think cones/sulphates would change?
I have an all drugstore product regimen, if that's part of what bugs you! There are CG products in stores, they just aren't labeled as such.
If you want to keep your curls, consider not only a shorter length, but also some layers. They would lighten the weight and put some volume back in. They also can help with drying time.
Unless you are planning to start straightening, there's not a lot you can do. I don't think anything will loosen your curls, though you can adjust you technique to pull them out some while styling.
But if low-maintenance is what you are going for, the best suggestion I have is short (BSL at most) and layers.
Your hair is incredible!
If I were you, I wouldn't change a thing :toothy4:
Herbal essences honey I'm strong and hydralicious reconditioning collections and my coarse 3b hair loves it. I however only wash every week and only style every 3 days. HTH yu
I'm with Jas with this one, especially as it regards layers. My hair used to be longer than yours and is/was about twice as thick (took forever to dry). But when I took off a little length and added layers, it took a lot of time off my regimen. My hair dries faster too now. One word of caution about layers though: layers may also bring out the curls even more. When all one length (like yours), mine was 3a/3b. Now it's a strong 3b/3c (which I love but it could be someone else's idea of a nightmare).
If you don't mind going red, or brown, or some unpredictable color in between, henna tends to loosen curls over time. It's natural, safe and can be very conditioning. ... Or it can be very drying. It also looks like dung, smells like the grass the horse shat upon, takes forever to apply and is generally a high maintenance treatment. (Last time I attempted henna, the smell and sheer weight of it on my head triggered a migraine and I ended up puking on my ankles and toes while rinsing it out in the tub. It was like wading in a puddle of poop and pineapple chunks. Never again. Sorry for the tangent but it felt so good to get that out of my system). So yeah, henna is one possibility.
Have you tried just cutting out a couple steps and see how your hair turns out? Maybe skip the plop and one of the product steps? If you want looser curls, I see no need to plop or add the curl crème.
I watched the Veronica Meza youtube video with her using Curl Keeper and kept wondering if she just threw the Curl Keeper in her hair,srunched and diffused (without the sectioning), if her hair would end uplooking pretty much the same. I suspect many of the differences we notice when we do A versus B are probably pretty minor and most other people aren't noticing the difference in our hair. Having healthy hair, a good cut, and a good leave-in (to eliminate frizz) are probably the main things. Everything else is maybe just gravy.
It looks like you already have beach waves. Your hair looks wavy - not really curly, so I am a little lost regarding the style you're looking for. As for your routine, I second (or third?) the idea of losing some length and adding layers to help with volume so you can lose the duckbill clips and plopping. Then your routine should be low-maintenance. Just keep your hair at least shoulder length.
I agree you should try to see if all those steps are even necessary.
My girls and I are mod-CG for about one month now, and we all need to keep it quick and simple. Now way are my 11 and 14 year olds going to spend hours on their hair (okay maybe my 11, but then she already takes 1/2 hour showers and we just don't have the time).
So, we use Loreal sulfate free shampoo, Tresemme Naturals or Suave Naturals conditioner (detangling then if needed or comb out after shower), a little of one of those same conditioners for a leave-in. Scrunch dry with a tea towel. I use mousse (Herbal Essences Set Me Up) and maybe a little spray gel (Garnier with shea- forget the name). The girls usually don't use anything else and we just air dry. If I dry crunchy, I run my fingers through it or scrunch it till it's softer.
It's all drugstore product in brands that you mentioned and doesn't take any longer than a regular shampoo/condition/scrunch in a product routine. For second day I have some diluted conditioner in a spray bottle for detangling if needed, otherwise pick through, spritz with water, and scrunch. Works for us, maybe it's not perfectly smoothed and formed curls, but it's okay.
I'm not really trying to wage a war on my curls, I guess I'm just looking for tips and tricks to make my routine shorter and easier, and to maybe give my style a change. If that means trying a few non-CG products, I'm all for it right now. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work at all, and I go back to my routine for the meantime.
The only thing is, co-washing doesn't work well with my hair. Low-poo at absolute minimum. I feel like most people's drugstore regiments include Suave Naturals as a co-wash.
Lately, I've been sneaking a nickel-sized dallop of my clarifying shampoo (which I used to use only once or twice a month) in with my Giovanni TTTT much more often than I should... it's like my hair is craving sulfates. It feels so much better... cleaner, lighter, shinier.... when I use it. But then, I have be generous with my conditioner.
My hair still has layers in it, they're just loooong right now. The layers are what allows me to go so long in between cuts.
The length really is a little out of hand right now....

Would you all say the leave in is the most important part of reducing frizz? Like, maybe trying just a leave in and some sort of light styler? Or would the CK act as both of those?
Hmmm, I like the idea of skipping the plop and losing the duckbills and the curl creme. I've been plopping mostly to keep my hair out of my way until I'm ready to deal with it, and it helps a little bit with removing excess water. I wonder if I used just a normal hair towel if it would promote "less" curling?
The style I'm trying to go for is having it less curly up towards my roots, but still having body and waves. I feel like it would look shinier, too, which would be nice. Kind of like this pic of Gisele (who, of course, has a completely different hair type, prob has extensions in, and has a full team at her disposal. But you get the idea...)
Even the straight-ish crown with curls towards the bottom, a la Taylor Swift would be nice....
Thanks so much ladies!!
I do co-wash some, but I low-poo every week. In the summer I do it more often!
Here are my drug store products:
Shea Moisture (very low poo)
Organix Shea (more cleansing low poo)
Johnson's head to toe for clarifying - (low sls, and I mix it with my low poo or some oil or condish to protect my hair. Really any sls poo with no cones would work, this is just what I had on hand!)
RO's: (skipping co-washes since you don't use them!)
GVP conditioning balm (from Sally's)
Ion reconstructor (from Sally's)
Vo5 Shea cashmere MIXED WITH
Tresemme Nat's
Shea Moisture Masque
I'm soon going to try Giovanni - I hear it's a great line.
I also add oil and ACV (and sometimes honey) to my RO to use it as a DT.
Shea Moisture retention condish
Or any of my RO's
LA Looks Sport gel or Power Spikes
Herbal Essence Set Me Up gel
Aussie Instant Freeze gel
GF curl spray gel
Sometimes I use a little GF flexible hold hair spray to perk up my curls.
Soon trying Shea Moisture curling souffle.
I also have other things I use on occassion for my hair's special needs - lol! Treatments, oils... That sort of thing. Let me know if you need any of that info. I don't know your hair properties or needs (protein, etc).
Keep in mind I don't use ALL this stuff at one time!! Lol!! Pick one from each category! Lol!! (maybe two with the stylers).
HTH! Let me know if you have questions!!
And one more suggestion - maybe try the cut with a few added layers and see how your hair acts for a while before you decide on drastic changes in CGing or style. That way you can determine if it's mainly the length causing you issues or what!
And if you do go with cones and decide you don't like it - it's not starting over! You just wash once and go back to CG. It's not like your hair goes back to how it was before you ever started CG! :)
Oh! Just saw your new post! ;)
If you want a straight-ish crown, just loose the duckbills! You can still plop while getting dressed - I do the same thing. But dot flip your head upside down while styling. I tip mine forward and style/scrunch, and don't tip it over until I plop. If I want root curl I have to use duck bills. If I don't use them I won't get it. (I alternate between the two depending on what I'm going for that day. I also sometimes flip my head over when styling for a change - but not that often.)
I don't do this because I want less curl, but more just as a nervous habit. A lot of times throughout the day I finger comb through my curls and it definitely loosens them up. I can style as usual and get away with a decent amount of finger combing before it gets too frizzy. Maybe you can try that!
Thanks Jas, for all of your product recs!! I always thought duckbill clips were for root lift, I didn't realize it affected the amount of curl in the crown.
I hate to tell you that both of those styles are created with heat. That's why they look so perfect. However, I agree that you will have no problem achieving a flatter top without the clips and plopping. Most people complain about the opposite.
I don't do this because I want less curl, but more just as a nervous habit. A lot of times throughout the day I finger comb through my curls and it definitely loosens them up. I can style as usual and get away with a decent amount of finger combing before it gets too frizzy. Maybe you can try that![/QUOTE]
It's funny, cause I'm always nervous about finger combing my curls (out of years of trying NOT to touch them) but anytime someone gets their hands on my hair and runs their fingers through it, it always looks more natural and sort of refreshed. Time to break some habits!
Before I go all crazy and complete abandon my CG routine, I'll wait until after my cut this Friday, and try cutting back on the curl creme and try styling without duckbill clips. I may pick up one of the recommended shampoos and conditioners, just to TRY to find a diff drugstore option to the products I've used for so long.
Any tips/tricks/product recs to get that same sort of root lift that duckbill clips achieve? I'm curious about the Curl Keeper Roller Jaw Clamps... I read somewhere on here you can use them in dry hair and just clip the roots for 10 minutes to give them lift?
First, I use a drugs store routine also, except that at times I use Deva foam. Second, I use roller jaw clips and love them. I do use them on wet hair, and you wont like this part, but I put them in and LEAVE THEM ALONE, because adjusting them causes frizz. I do think you could use them on damp hair at the roots for lift; that is why I started using them, I HATED the metal clips and the Deva clipping routine, I think that part is insanity. The RJ clips are very fast. Third, I guess I dont see why you cannot braid your hair - let it dry - and get those beachy waves!
I was hating the routine also, so I pared it down to the minimum. I CO wash, seal, and sometimes use gel or LI, but I always seal, then I put my hair in a turban while I do my usual after shower/morning routine. After ten to thirty minutes, depening on how much time I have, I let my hair out of the turban and clip just the front of my hair so it stays back and out of my face. I usually have a few more minutes before I leave for my drive to work and I let my hair continue to dry untouched on my commute.
When I get to work, I take out my clips, and even though my hair is damp in looks dampfantastic! I simply let my hair continue to dry as I carry out my morning.
It doesn't take any more time really than if I just showered, make-up and breakfasted.
Here's a picture of my hair - just to show you my length and curl.

Jeffrey Miles Testifies: Victim Was His Lover, Murder Was Unplanned
Miles was charged with the homicide of Kristy Dawn Hoke back in 2010 days after Hoke was murdered on April 3rd. Just last month, he pleaded guilty to that charge.
For the past three days, Miles has been in court in front of a judge, who will decide if he should be convicted of first, second, or third degree murder.
Today, Miles told the judge he "didn't mean to stab [Hoke]." He said the attack happened in a moment of passion.
Miles said in court he and Hoke had been in love and secretly dating since 2008 even while they were both involved with other people.
"She became my girlfriend at one point," Miles testified, adding that he told her "multiple times" that he loved her.
Terrance Pepple, who lived with Miles and Miles's then-girlfriend Sherry Walters in 2010 also took the stand.
Miles's defense attorney Eric Weisbrod told WHAG Pepple's testimony cast doubt on the theory that Miles killed Hoke because he thought she was the informant who had him busted for crack cocaine possession and dealing back in 2009.
On the stand, Pepple testified that Miles and Hoke had an emotional relationship that continued for 11 months after the drug bust.
Miles took the stand after Pepple and testified that on the night of the murder in 2010, they went to the woods (where Hoke was eventually murdered) to smoke crack cocaine and have sex. Miles testified that he lost his temper after Hoke received a phone call from her husband, who he thought was no longer involved with Hoke.
"I was stunned," Miles said. "I don't understand why that call would have come in…I though she was obviously trying to hide something from me."
Miles said they started arguing and claimed Hoke hit her with the pair of scissors he later used to stab her. He said the scissors were used to fix a makeshift device for smoking crack cocaine.
Miles claimed he does not remember the stabbing. "I lost sound, vision, color," said Miles.
He said he asked himself, "What did I just do?" when he saw Hoke on the ground. "I knew what happened was wrong…It wasn't planned to happen." said Miles.
The judge is expected to deliver a verdict tomorrow.

Engineers have applied that same engineering principle to a standard feature of Putzmeister boom pumps that are mounted on Mack chassis.
Dubbed the Econo-Gear system, the patent-pending system allows an operator to choose a unique gear ratio that outputs the proper pumping pressure to deliver concrete at the same rate, but it allows the engine to run at less than maximum output.
Field studies have shown that pump operators can expect about a 5 percent savings in fuel consumption in full-load pumping applications when using the system. For a typical slab on grade or tilt-up panel pour, some operators have documented up to a 25 percent reduction in fuel consumption.
Operating the pump in the overdrive gear has other advantages: a lower engine noise level and less engine wear.

Two years into a $500 million grant from the federal government, a report detailing Tennessee's use of Race to the Top funds offers high, if not exemplary, marks to the state.
Officials with the U.S. Department of Education said Thursday that Tennessee was one of three states that had made "considerable progress" since being awarded the grant in 2010. Tennessee was one of the first states to be awarded one of the competitive grants; so far, 12 states have participated.
On Friday, federal education officials will release state-specific reports detailing the state's second year of participation in the $4.35 billion program, which sought to implement innovative education reforms nationwide. Tennessee's achievements in its second year included training more than 10,000 teachers to implement Common Core State Standards for math, implementing a new teacher evaluation system and launching the Achievement School District for low-performing schools.
In a news release, U.S. Secretary of Education Ame Duncan lauded the state's movement toward "21st-century" learning models.
"Tennessee has set a clear path forward on comprehensive education reform that will better support teachers and principals and enable student growth for years to come," Duncan said. "They have overcome challenges and proved what's possible when everyone works together."
The Department of Education report also compliments the states' awarding of competitive grants to 56 of 170 focus schools, operation of two STEM schools, and approval of three additional STEM schools and hubs in the most recent school year. One of the schools opened in Chattanooga last fall.
Gov. Bill Haslam said Thursday he thought the state had been fulfilling its obligations to the grant.
"We feel really good about where we are," Haslam said. "We're nearing the end of the Race to the Top funding period, so I think one of the smart things we did was not use that money for recurring obligations and rather used it for projects that will help us move ahead."

If a bit related to a region is "1", it means that the region is "clean" and data in the region is synchronized in all mirror disks and they store the same data in the region. On the other hand, if a bit related to a region is "0", the region is "dirty" and the region is out of synchronization. It means that each mirror disk might contain different data in the region. Therefore, a log disk contains a state of each region, but does not correspond to a specific mirror device. This patch set introduces redundant log disk on dm-mirror.

create positive slope when siding is at grade?
My concrete block foundation is prone to weeping and sometimes leaking when the ground gets super saturated....couple times a year. The slope around a portion of my foundation is very flat and in some cases slightly negative, especially at an inside corner where the house and garage meet.
I want to increase the grade (+8 inches or so) to create a positive slope away from the house....but.....my garage was built on a slab and the siding (vinyl with clapboard underneath) goes all the way down to grade.
I don't even know where to begin with this. If I remove the first couple rows of vinyl is there any way to cover up the wood clapboard so that I can build up the soil against it?
Any ideas?
I replaced mine with a block wall for the same situation. But possibly your can replace the siding with Hardie cement siding for the below grade area.
actually hardie siding is not a good choice in areas that stay moist,it will soak up alot of water and start to fail quickly
any siding burried in the ground is going to eventually cause problems the only real cure is poured concrete or masonary units
you possibly could excavate to 6-8'' below where the wood siding starts,trench it 3 or 4 ft wide add a small retaining wall and drainage,add a layer of stone as a ground cover
I could avoid adding soil altogether if I went the french drain route. I don't have the option to run it to daylight though...it would have to be a drywell since my yard is pretty flat.
Typically the water does drain pretty well, it's just those few times when everything is over-saturated.
@tomstruble: are you saying the gravel would be up against the vinyl/clapboard?
well that would be better than dirt but idealy the siding should be 6-8'' above grade
what im saying is to excavate a trench 3-4' wide 6-8'' below the siding add drainage and a retaining wall
between the retaining wall and the garage you could put stone or anyother kind of paving but you should keep the 6-8'' space

I find what this guys says interesting just as the other video but in it you will hear they 1st tested this by putting wild sheep in a pen with domestic sheep. I think you find that same information in the other video.
If it is domestication of animals that cause these diseases, why arent we eradicating domestic live stock? I find the CWD issue very interesting. Seems to be some agendas at work here on both sides of the FENCE if you ask me.

Thanks, everybody.
My aunt REALLY irritated me yesterday...I shouldn't take the words of somebody who cropped me out of family photos because I'm not married too much to heart, I know...she asked, "Are you still getting unemployment?" and I said I was and she said, "Then WHAT are you worried about? Why do you care? You are getting unemployment and you're not paying rent. What's the big deal?"
It wasn't in a helpful, "Please don't stress yourself out so much!" way, it was said in a tone that she was rolling her eyes in a, "This girl doesn't have a care in the world!" way.
So, I'm not allowed to feel empty/bored/frustrated/rejected in this jobhunt because I have unemployment insurance coming-in and I have a roof to live under (which I would love to get out from underneath.)

|4% better MPG with larger spark plug gap

Via, there's a part of the book that states adding .006 gap to your factory plug gap (can) add 4% better fuel mileage to your vehicle.
Can't say if it's true or not, just thought it was interesting, and worth the share.

In the 80s when I drove a FB 400 I saw a table with rough guide to changing your gap to compensate for uneven compression and smooth out idle etc.
Never seen since.

If this were true then you should continue to get ever improving mileage as the plugs wear...
Up to some point when the gap would be too wide and the engine wouldn't run.

Cool. Not like it's going to cost anything. I don't think it will change anything but it's worth a try.
I have an extra MSD 6AL box I have thought about trying out on the Metro just to see what happens.
I don't know the specs but it has been my experience that our factory ignition is VERY good. I have tried a few different plugs, gaps, and even "indexed" them and could not tell any difference. My old school carbed V8s are another story though.

|I gapped my plugs .010 bigger so they are at .050. We will see what happens.

Je conduis une petite voiture.
So I gapped mine to .47, and the hood says .39, and it definitely changed the way it drove. I won't know till the end of the week if it effects MPG... but it should be interesting.
If you're in for some interesting read, I found this last night:
Of course it's not our car, and they have a very small gap from the factory... but it does seem to suggest there is something to this in at least a few applications.

I put over 125 miles today. I noticed a bit more pep. Seemed to have a bit more power going up hills.
Gas mileage also seems a bit better.
Today was a lot cooler than last week. Cooler days mean lower mpg.

First tank down. About 380 miles.
More power? Yes.
More MPG? No!
This tank was 42.6 mpg. Four mpg less than last tank.
Will do one more tank and see how it fares.

Je conduis une petite voiture.
Just for the heck of it, you might want to back down to a .44-.47 gap. Several citations on the internet suggest no benefits were gained by going larger than .45
I have a 96/3/5 and gaped mine about the same time I posted this too, and my mileage did go up, but nothing incredible (under 1 MPG). It did seem like it took the ECU about 200 miles to figure it all out for myself, so I too will give it another tank before calling it busted.

Will be going to a .046 after this tank.
I wanted to go to the extreme first then back down.
|Nov 8 2013, 01:31 AM Post #15
I think the a larger gap means a hotter spark. I know I used to keep mine a little tighter (and two steps cooler to keep from detonating) when I was doing the whole turbo thing (theory was that the boost blew out the spark but I never really believed that). SO, I would guess that a larger gap would give better MPG. Perhaps run a little hotter plug as well. I don't play with my car that much because 48-56 MPG is good enough for me. Some day I will get around to experimenting.
Ascensions, I think you might be on to something...

SAP Modules Overview
SAP Modules Overview
SAP Modules included several different number of business process modules, the main sap modules are support by its unique transaction code to proceed key business process in each module.
SAP Modules are described as followed:
- Financial Accounting (FI)
- Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM)
- Controlling (CO)
- Materials Management (MM)
- Sales and Distribution (SD)
- Logistics Execution (LE)
- Production Planning (PP)
- Quality Management (QM)
- Plant Maintenance (PM)
- Project System (PS)
- Human Resources (HR)
When we consider the SAP modules as what we called ERP system, (Enterprise Resource Planning) we are mainly illustrate the SAP modules in Financials, Human Capital Management, and ERP Operations.
Each Different SAP modules is executed with different unique SAP Transaction Code.
More information about different transaction code can be found in this book.
Understanding the SAP Modules in these three main SAP modules:
SAP modules for financial modules are classified in following financial activities:
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounting and Financial reporting
- Regulatory Compliance
- Risk management
- Cash Flow Monitoring
- Travel Management
SAP modules for Human Capital Management has following functions:
- End-user Maintenance
- HR and Payroll
- HR Process Management
- HR Reporting
- Labor Force Analysis
- Placement
- Talent Management
- Recruitment and Training
SAP modules for ERP Operations has following functions:
- Procurement and logistics
- Product development and manufacturing
- Sales and service
- Operations analytics
To master all the SAP modules require experienced consultant to implement each modules, but more importantly, SAP modules is divided into business processes, by understanding different business processes in different industry is critical for successful consultant.
Before we want to understand the core function of each sap modules, we should understand its overall background and history of SAP ERP System. Following is brief timeline for SAP modules and ERP Releases:
1972: SAP ERP System was established.
1973: SAP Modules R/1
1979: SAP Modules R/2
1992: SAP Modules R/3
1998: SAP Modules R/3 Release 4.0B
1999: SAP Modules R/3 Release 4.5B
1999: SAP Modules R/3 Release 4.6B
2001: SAP Modules R/3 Release 4.6C
2003: SAP Modules R/3 Release 4.70
2004: SAP ECC 5.0 ERP (mySAP)
2005: SAP ECC 6.0 ERP (mySAP)
From ECC 6.0, SAP have totally released 6 Enhancement for business process for SAP Modules.
2009: SAP Business Suite 7
If you want to master SAP modules, I strongly recommend to understand overall business process of an industry you want to be, from that industry perspective, understanding each business processes in SD and MM function; because each business require SAP SD, SAP MM modules.
Some useful references for SAP Transaction code for SAP SD Modules, SAP MM Modules and overall SAP Transaction Code by different business process.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for contacting me about your Tax issue. I will work hard to help you understand the issue clearly.
Thanks you for your tax question this morning.
The real difference is whether you want all of the money from this contract to go to you, or if you want to push some of this income to the corporation. Without knowing the specifics of the corporation's net income and your tax rate, it is impossible to determine which is better on an after-tax basis
You should be getting a W-2 from the corporation as an employee as it is.
This comes down to a business decision much more than a tax decision. Don't let the tag tail wag the dog.
(that's "Tax Tail wage the dog")
can't type this morning
If I use the corp. I will pay myself a paycheck and file a W-2. Corporation will likely wind up with near zero income and personally, wife and I will have $140kish gross income, $30k of itemizable deductions.
appreciate your comment about the business dog vs. tax tail. What business considerations do you see? The only one I see is better liability protection in the corporation vs. better income protection in the courts (God forbid) if I'm not paid; California courts more likely to weigh in favor of an individual vs. Corp.
Either way let's you deduct your overhead and expenses before being taxed.
However, based on your comment, you may not be using the corporation to your best tax effect.
The corporate tax rate is 15% at income under 50K. Assume you have a $10K profit.
Your corp pays $1500 tax. You then have 8500 left to distribute as a dividend
Your personal tax rate is around 25%. Dividends are taxed at 15%.
So you take a dividend of 8500 and it's total tax is 1275. You have paid a total of 1275+1500 = 2775 on that 10K
If you take the 10K as a 1099 (after expenses), you have $2500 income tax (25%)
PLUS 15% more for Self employment tax = 4000 on 10K. 40% versus 27.75% effective tax rate
Of course, you could set aside 20% of the self employment for retirement. You could not do that as a dividend.
So, your income tax would go down by (25% * 2000) = 500, and you would have 2000 in an IRA
everything is relative
Mr. Klein, I'm a little confused. Appreciate that everything is relative!
What are you confused about?
Is there a device where I can inexpensively make a tax-deferred retirement contribution from the corp? If so, it seems that the deduction of funding the retirement fund is pre-pre tax, and the employment taxes would only be paid on the W-2 income. Am I missing something
A retirement contribution by the CORP can only be made based on the wages you are paid from the corporation. This might take the form of a SIMPLE IRA match, or a 401K match,
what about a defined benefit plan?
As a self-employed person, you might select an SEP, a SIMPLE, or hybrid 401k. All of these are based on your net self-employment earnings
A DB plan is nice too, but again, you are limited to your earnings as an empployee.
You have to consider whether your "contractors" are truly contractors or if they are really YOUR employees.
If they are your employees, you have to cut them into any corporate level benefit program to be fair and legal.
These people may be contrated out and act as contractors to the corproation's customers, but they might be your corproation's employees
That's a "whole nuther" discussion
