Hi ladies,
I had Cellulaze and SmartLipo 10 weeks ago. I wore the foam for 10 tens, it was tight, which was very uncomfortable; I could not wait to get them off. My doctor then advised wearing the spandex leggies for 6 weeks. It has been a very slow painful healing process. I stayed swollen till around my 6th week, but the pain and tightness was still there. My doctor offered two endermolgie (message) in my 8th week that helped a great deal with my pain and tightness; they said I was still swollen. The endermolgie helped with that. I then had 4 smooth shapes I had bought with a groupon I finished them on Wednesday, they were much more painful than the endermolgie do to the pressure they had to apply. I do advise the endermolgie if you can afford it. They jump started my recovering process.
Around my 9th week the pain went away when I would stand up. At 10 weeks I still have some pain where the Cellulaze and smartlipo where done, I still sleep with a pillow between my legs where I had the SmartLipo, am still not able to bend down to pick something up, there is too much pain in the thigh area where most of my cellulite was.
My cellulite still looks bad, I cannot where shorts, and I have some discoloration. From this procedure I have been left with horrible spider veins in my thigh area, I believe this might of been caused by the pressure from the foam. Monday I go to a doctor to have the spider veins removed.
I am waiting for the day where there is no more pain and I can knell down and work in my garden again, and my lap dogs jump in my lap without causing pain. With all the pain, discomfort and still the presence of cellulite I cannot recommend this to anyone.
Patiently waiting, Terry Jo
Updated Aug. 25, 2012
I am now going into my 4th month. The pain has gone away, I still feel a little numb in some areas. The cellulite is still present. Mine has not diminish. At this time I am doubtful that I'll ever be be able to wear shorts again. It troubles me that I have not heard from my doctors office asking me to come in for a check up, I spent a lot of money on my procedure.

Chapter 22 : Perspective

|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
Ah, I have never appreciated the Hogwarts grounds beauty so much. After two more weeks of being cooped up in that bloody hospital wing anything remotely natural and not medicine smelling is fine with me. My physio therapist from St Mungo's is possibly the most annoying person I have ever met, and this is from a person who spent two years being Jessica Renald's partner in Herbology. This is the girl who constantly chews gum and prattles on about her parent's costume shop which is opening up in diagon alley, (you should go there, they have a bloody flobberworm outfit if you ever need one).
Back to my therapist, he's so enthusiastic all the time. I'm not joking, the first session we had I couldn't stand up so he made me move my toes for like an hour, which I could do before he even got there, and I don't lie my friends, he squealed every time I made them move. Finally to the 23rd session and we finally got to me walking from one end of the hospital wing to the other.
I haven't even seen James, Peter or Sirius for the better part of two weeks since they got banned from the hospital wing. Peter collapsed on my leg (which made it worse) because James and Sirius fed him some drowsing draught. Unfortunately for them, Madame Pompfrey had been watching the whole thing.
Lily, Mimi and Lola had taken to visiting me every day before lessons and after dinner. Thank god, I would have gone crazy in here with the only person to talk to being Little Bertie in the bed next to me, breaking his leg for the 42nd time. He just never learns, there's a trick step, bertie, watch out for it!
I was just walking over to the lake when I heard running foot steps behind me.
"Finally!" I recognised the voice immediately and I was engulfed in his arms.
"I missed you," I said but my words were muffled. He chuckled, "I missed you too, I nearly killed Wormtail for getting us banned from seeing you."
I pulled away and playfully hit him on the chest, "that was your fault for giving him drowsing draught!"
"I know but couldn't he have just fallen on the floor?" he joked, pulling me in for another hug.
"What am I going to do with you?" I said quietly.
"What do you mean me? What are we going to do with you? Miss I got blasted into a wall and now need physio!"
I laughed and raised my eyebrows, "I don't know what you're talking about, and my legs are fine."
"Oh really?"
"Yes." I was not backing down.
"Run to the lake and back," he said in his arrogant voice.
Well, I would do it. Merlin knows my legs need a bit of a stretch.
I began to run, ouch, wow I didn't realise it would hurt this much. Before I knew it, Sirius had run up after me and picked me up honeymoon style, walked over to the lake and set me down. Then he sat down next to me.
"Jem," he said scolding, "I was joking."
"But you and your arrogant tone made me want to prove you wrong." I pouted.
"You're so silly," he said, shaking his head before putting his arm around me.
As Sirius and I made our way to the Great Hall, I was so excited to have our usual meal time chats again after a month away from it. It's times like these where you appreciate the small things in life, like sitting with your friends at dinner.
"Hello people," I said as I climbed over the bench with some help from Sirius.
"Jem, so glad to have you back out here," squealed Lily as she gave me a quick hug.
"Yes yes, it's lovely to have Jem back," said Sirius, smiling. "So, the marauders and I thought that it would be good to go up to the astronomy tower tonight for a bit of a welcome back."
"Sounds good," said Mimi.
"Anyway, tonight's a good night to go because Professor Sinistra said that there's supposed to be some shooting stars," said Lola.
I smiled, "even better."
"Don't you think it would be better to get a good nights sleep and start on revision tomorrow?" asked Lily to all our gaping faces.
"Did you just sat that Lily?" asked Peter.
"Well, Exams are really on a few weeks away and we should be in full work mode, not dossing around!"
"Lily, it's sixth year! It doesn't count for anything." Sirius explained.
"Well, it would certainly help to get good grades, you wouldnt have to work as hard next year," she sniffed.
"C'mon Lils, I only just got out of the hospital wing! I deserve to have tonight," I said.
She pouted, "Fine, but tomorrow-"
I cut her off, "yes, yes, revision." Lily nodded.
I noticed that Remus had his arm around Mimi again, wasn't it only this morning when Mimi was in the hospital wing with me rambling on and on about how Remus and her were still fighting and how she saw no end in sight. Guess the end creeps up on you, eh?
Lily seemed to catch on to what I was thinking and gave me a look saying "We'll fill you in later."
"Look who it is," hissed a voice behind me.
Oh god, Bellatrix and her Slytherin death eater wannabe's.
"How can I help, Bella?" I said sweetly, shortening her name because I knew it would annoy her. And as predicted, she scowled at the nickname.
"You think you're so smart, you better hope I don't put you back in that Hospital wing. Next time you might not come out," she said with a sneer.
"Bellatrix, watch it," said Sirius threateningly his hand in his wand pocket. I could see James, Remus and Peter doing the same.
"Hm, well we have better things to do than speak to filth like you, dear cousin." And with that she waltzed away with her crew in tow.
I rolled my eyes, "bitch." I muttered.
"Anyway," said Lily, clearing her throat. "If you don't mind, we girls have to go to our dorm. A bit of a welcome back if you like..."
She was interrupted by James cough the word "Gossiping."
She ignored him, though and carried on. "We'll meet you at the tower about 11?"
"See you then," Sirius said to me as he helped me get up and over the bench.
As soon as I got to the dorm I lay down on my bed. Oh mother of Merlin, I have missed this dorm.
"Carter told me he loved me," blurted out Lola.
I sat up quickly which sent a shooting pain down my leg.
"WHAT?" I screamed.
"Oh wow, don't scream Jem!" said Mimi, covering her ears.
"I'm sorry, it's just...wow, that's big news!" I said, laughing. "I'm so happy for you Lols, did you say it back?"
She turned a bright shade of pink and nodded.
"Eeeeeeep," let out Mimi, "I'm sorry but this is so great, I can't help myself!"
"Then..." carried on Lola.
"Woah there's more?" I asked, looking around at Lily and Mimi nodding.
"Well, um...i guess we kind of slepttogetherandhadsexbutidontknowanditsembarassing," she said, quickly.
"Sorry, didn't quite catch that last bit," I said, smiling.
"We slept with each other," she said after taking a deep breath.
"NO WAY!!" I exclaimed as Mimi and Lily began a happy dance in the middle of the dorm.
"Guys stop," said a muffled voice and I looked around, Lola had her bright red face buried in her pillow.
I laughed, "Wow, Lola, I can't believe this. I didn't realise you two were so serious."
"Well, it was sort of the whole I love you thing. It felt right."
"Oo-er," we all chanted.
"STOP," she shouted, blushing.
"And anyway Mimi. Don't you want to tell us about Remus?" she added in Mimi's direction.
"No!" yelled Mimi, it was her turn to bury her head in her pillow.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Well, we've been in a fight for like ages now," said Mimi, looking at us.
"Oh gosh, really?" said Lily, sarcastically.
"We didn't realise," I said.
"Trust me, you didn't make it obvious," said Lola in an equally sarcastic voice.
"Alright alright, I get it. It was a drag having to hear about it but not know what it was about. But the reason I didn't tell you was because it's soooo embarrassing."
"Mimi, I just told you all about my love life, now get up off that bed and spill!"said Lola in a stern voice.
"Well, I want to take Remus and I's relationship to the next level but he doesn't want to. Not because of the whole sleeping together thing but get this, because he's a werewolf."
"That shouldn't make any difference!"
"I know!" said Mimi, throwing her hands into the air. "I tried to tell him, I've always told him. It makes no difference to me, I don't care! But it means a lot to him, so I'm waiting but it's so hard because ever since I mentioned it he's been brooding around saying he's not good enough for me."
"Why's that?" asked Lily.
"Isn't it obvious, the whole werewolf thing. He doesn't think he's good enough for me because of that and I keep telling him everything I love about him and I wouldn't change him for the world. But he's being stubborn and we didn't talk for ages then today during our double free we had a long talk about it."
"And you're ok?" I asked.
"Well, I think so. It seems fine now, we ironed out all the issues and stuff so hopefully everythings going to be ok."
"It will," said Lola.
Mimi smiled, "so what shall we do for the couple of hours before we go? Normal girl's night in or special clothing hour?"
"CLOTHING HOUR!" I shouted.
What? I've been deprived for a month, sue me.
"It's bloody freezing," I hissed as we climbed the stone spiral staircase up to the tower.
"Whose idea was this?" asked Mimi who was trembling.
"Hold on girls," said Remus just as we arrived at the top and the large balcony of the astronomy tower came into view.
"Wow," I heard Lola breathe.
It was wonderful. They had blankets. Lots of blankets and pillows, it looks so comfortable but the best thing, is that they had cast a large bubble charm around the whole thing to keep it warm.
I stepped into the bubble feeling warmth immediately spread over me.
"Nice?" Sirius asked from behind me.
"Lovely," I said, facing him.
"Come on then, or we're going to miss the shooting stars," he said, leading me to the corner of the bubble and lying down on his back.
I did the same.
"You can see the stars so perfectly," said Lily in a breathy voice.
I looked up and sure enough there were millions and millions of stars dotted in the heavens above. Things like this make you feel so small and so powerful in so many ways. Those stars are suns and those suns have planets, it seems ridiculous but imagine how many other humans or other life forms could be on those planets.
Makes you wonder, when we're worrying about the stupidest things. It seems like the world is ending for us, but for someone else orbiting another sun, on another planet, the world is just beginning. So surreal.
"What you thinking about?" whispered Sirius.
"Just about how things like this make you see how stupid the problems you think are so big, really are."
"And what would that be?"
"I don't know, getting blasted into a wall?"
"Don't joke," I could hear his voice tense.
"I'm sorry," I said in a quiet voice.
"For what?"
"Everything. About Matheus and making it so hard for us-"
"Shhh," he quietened me, putting his arm around me. "Don't apologise, this is enough."
He pulled me closer and that was all that mattered right now.

Lady Luck eyes recession-hit reality show star
"Be nice to me please," whispers Daniele Santoianni, fresh from Grande Fratello, just before the camera starts rolling and the interview begins.
The 28-year-old former finance manager from Milan reveals a vulnerable side that his cool, calm and collected behaviour on the popular Italian reality TV show barely hinted at.
He chucks his cigarette before filming starts - "also because I don't want my mum to see me smoke" - and asks to change places because he prefers his right side. It's a matter of luck... or maybe vanity. And the reference to his mother is not because he is a mammone - "I just value my parents' opinion".
Daniele lasted 60 solid days in the Big Brother house, which premiered in October and concluded in March, making the 10th edition the longest Grande Fratello season.
He was probably the most good-looking male but his personality did not shine and he was accused of spending more time observing his reflection in the mirrors than contributing to the action, although it is hard to believe, given his confidence, sense of humour and warmth.
"Despite the accusations that I was foxy and tactical, I just brought my personality from outside to inside the house. It was not a game for me," he insists.
Like everyone else under 24-hour scrutiny in the house, Daniele was also accused of being false - the buzzword and best line of attack contestants could master. But he believes it was actually the problem of those who fired the accusation. "In my case, I feel many of the others did not understand me. My lifestyle was different from theirs."
Overnight, in typical Grande Fratello fashion, Daniele went from being a relative nobody to filming a movie in Malta and being known as far afield as here.
Today, he is recognised wherever he goes and he likes it. "But my lifestyle has not changed. My best friends before are the same now and I have the same relationships with everyone I knew."
He considers the life-changing experience to be a "big fortune" and a "good opportunity", which, being ambitious by nature, he plans to take complete advantage of.
Daniele aims to be an actor and is already on the right path, starring in a short film alongside Croatian model and showgirl Nina Moric, which is being submitted to the Cannes Film Festival next week.
Co-produced by Where's Everybody, it could be extended into a television series by Canale Cinque and a feature film in the coming year.
"I hope one day you can interview me again, this time as a big actor, and you will ask me: 'Daniele do you remember our first meeting?' I don't know, but I hope..."
The transition from manager to actor would seem simple but Daniele is now studying for his new role every day and plans to move to Rome to attend a good acting school.
"For me, to be good at anything, you need a serious and solid background and education," says the victim of the financial crisis.
Grande Fratello came along at the right time and luck continued to pour in after with up-and-coming Hollywood screenwriter Stefania Rosella Grassi "totally believing in me" for some reason. And he's not taking anything for granted. "I want to make the best of it for her and for me..."
In Stalking, he plays a police inspector. "I am a good man," he underlines. "The Italians look at me as a baddie, but I am not!"
In a previous telephone conversation, Daniele says the real winners of the reality television show emerge after and he seems to be insinuating that he is one of them.
"Absolutely not! The winner is my best friend Mauro (Marin). He was the only person I had a good relationship with. But I know that from this edition, I am the only one to have landed such a good opportunity!"
In every season, the winner does not necessarily break into show business and movies, he explains.
Despite his drive, Daniele denies any competition between the contestants and laughs when asked who he really disliked. Warned to avoid being diplomatic, he only says: "Three months have passed since the end of the programme. Today, I do not have a relationship with the others except for Mauro."
Sometimes, he is in touch with the controversial George Leonard, AKA Il Principe, and the equally explosive Veronica. But that is where it ends, he clarifies about his "very little story" with her, as the millions of viewers could attest to, having witnessed that stolen kiss.
Daniele has a decent command of English, especially for an Italian, but is sly enough to pretend he does not when the question may not be to his liking.
On the subject of Veronica and whether she is now making porno films - as he had suggested to her live on national television in an unexpected outburst on his part that got the studio cheering for him but sent the volatile and hysterical contestant screaming and crying into the bathroom - he claims he does not understand the question.
In a second attempt to figure out whether he regretted his famous words, he justifies it was his first contact and experience with a massive public, under fire from many cameras, piling immense pressure and stress, after being caged in the house for about two months.
"What I said is not my style," he explains.
But does he regret it? "If I said it at that time, then I don't!"
Daniele is still single. "Maybe it's because the women don't want me," he laughs, with the trademark confidence of someone who has luck on his side.
No, seriously, he is getting to know someone but she is still just a friend and he is keeping her name under wraps. "It is also because I am busy but really it is always the right time to find the right woman... Maybe I'll find my perfect match right here in Malta..."
That prospect, however, was not too promising, given that Daniele was on the island for only four days and saw nothing of it, spending most of his time at work.

Expensive necklace stolen from residence; firefighter calls police after seeing man fleeing with flat screen TV; shoplifter goes for odd mix of foods
By Cassandra Baker
8:39 p.m., November 26. 67th block of 22nd Ave NW
A woman called police after returning home to find that her home had been broken into and an expensive piece of jewelry had been stolen. The victim said that she left her home at around 8:00 a.m. that day and returned home at 5:30 p.m. She noticed that several items in her bedroom had been moved. The only item she knew to be missing was a 14-karat gold necklace with a cross pendant with 16 diamonds, valued at approximately $11,000. The victim said that her son had stolen the necklace in the past, and she believed that either he or one of his friends was behind the most recent burglary.
7:18 a.m., November 26. 15th block of NW Market St
The sight of a man running through downtown Ballard with a flat screen TV led local firefighters to call in the police. The responding officer arrived at the scene and spoke with a firefighter who said that he had seen the suspect carrying the TV near the fire station, but the suspect dropped it and ran when more firefighters arrived on the scene. The TV was taken to the fire station and the officer was able to lift fingerprints from it.
The TV was determined to have been stolen from the mail room in a nearby apartment complex. The building manager said that the room is unsecured. The officer also found stolen mail on the ground outside the apartment complex, and it was ultimately returned to its intended recipients.
6:21 p.m., November 21. 14th block of NW 56th St
A grocery store employee called police after encountering trouble while attempting to subdue an aggressive shoplifter with an interesting taste in food. The responding officer arrived at the scene to find the suspect handcuffed to a railing. The store's loss prevention officer said that the suspect entered the store and stole a bottle of beer, a bag of sugar, and a bunch of parsley. He said that when he identified himself to the suspect outside the store, the suspect immediately punched him in the face. The two struggled, and the suspect broke free and attempted to run away, but the loss prevention officer and other store employees eventually managed to subdue him and handcuff him to the railing.
The store manager and a store employee supported the loss prevention officer's story, saying that the shoplifter was extremely aggressive and difficult to subdue. An off-duty officer also witnessed the fight and corroborated the accounts of store employees, stating that the suspect threw many punches. The loss prevention officer said that he believed one of his fingers may have been broken during the fight. He was treated at the scene and then sent to the hospital for further care.
The suspect told the officer that he was walking out of the store when "all these [expletives] jumped on me." He complained of injuries to his wrist, shoulder, and face. The officer arrested the suspect and read him his rights. The suspect was later booked into King County Jail on robbery charges.
As for the beer, sugar, and parsley, they were all recovered at the scene.
1:02 p.m., November 21. 60th block of 6th Ave NW
Police responded to reports of a residential burglary on the afternoon of November 21. The victim said that she left the house at 9:45 that morning and returned home at 1:00 p.m. to find a panel of glass on her back door broken. The victim said that she called 911 and then her husband, who returned home and searched the house for suspects. He found a rock lying on the kitchen floor and concluded that it had been used to break the window on the door. He also noticed that the front door was locked, but the victim said that she was sure that she had locked it when she left the house that morning.
One of the victims said that a neighbor reported hearing a loud noise at 11:30 a.m., but at the time he thought it was just the wind. The victims said the suspect stole numerous items, including an iPad 2, several pieces of jewelry, and charge cords. No fingerprints were found at the scene.

Local Teachers, Counselors, Get Tips on Fighting Schoolyard Bullying
As the start of the school year approaches, local teachers and guidance counselors got some tips on how to deal with a growing problem in all levels of schools; dealing with bullies.
Colorado based parenting expert Barbara Coloroso told the group at the Ecumenical Center for Religion and Health that the key to deterring bullying is to starve the bully of the status he or she receives by the act of bullying, and that means empowering all students to stand up to bullies.
"The kid who knows better, has been raised to act with integrity and civility and is afraid to step in, that is the person who needs to get our support," Coloroso told the group.
She says the problem of bullying has increase in the last twenty years, with new forms of bullying made possible by on line social media sites.
A bully does it not because he or she wants the two dollars in lunch money that may be stolen from the kid on the playground, but because it provides the bully with higher status in the peer group.
So Coloroso says the key to for the kids the bully depends on to achieve that high status not to provide it.
"When the high status social bully says to all of the other girls, I don't like the new girl, I don't want you to eat lunch with her, I want your daughter to be the one who stands up and says 'that's mean, that's cruel'," she said.
She says if the bully realizes that bullying will not gain them social status and will instead lead to them being ostracized, that is the quickest way to end the practice.
She said it is similar to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's claim that he fought the Mafia on the streets and in the courts, but the most effective anti Mafia action took place in the Italian bars of Queens, where teenagers began to think of Mafia leaders as 'icky' and no longer aspired to life in the mob.
Coloroso says one of the biggest problems with bullying it what it does to the bully later in life.
"It is a short walk from schoolyard bullying to hate crimes, which are on the rise in our country today."

I have a 12' fiberglass Starcraft semi-v jon boat. It has 2 bench seats with one swivel seat per bench. The boat is camo painted and I touched up the paint job this year. I put new trailer lights on a redid the wiring two weeks ago. The trailer has new bearings and hubs as well.

I am asking $1100 and if anyone is interested please let me know and I can provide pictures.
With that said, I am looking to buy a new (used) boat this year. Hoping for a flat bottom, skiff style aluminum jon boat between 15 and 19 feet, with a motor between 15 and 25 hrspower. I'm looking for a boat that also has a blind system integrated. If you or anyone you know is looking to sell something like this please let me know.

There's another thread linking to a big German review of POV cams.
http://www.microsofttranslator.com/BV.a ... v-i-o%252f
Right down at the bottom there's an interesting piece where the German distributors seem to be aware of the temperature issue - check out this translation:
Irregularities during the test
The GoPro HD Hero 2 we have away from the trails at the skiing had and always found a strong fibreglass image (see clip below). After consultation with the Germany distribution is clear: the GoPro is too cold, the electronics come not on temperature and the capture of the color is incorrect. To avoid this fact, GoPro (and also CamOne) using heated battery to prevent exactly this effect. The camera but turned off in your Pocket while skiing walk shuts, so the warm battery can do anything against the cold - the image defects occur. Who wants to avoid this effect, should hold his camera as warm or run. For the latter it is also made;).

Last night, Microsoft's recently revealed Project Natal was shown on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon (video embedded below).
Project Natal, in case you missed my earlier post, is an add-on for the Xbox 360 that will let you control games without using a controller; instead, your body in effect becomes the controller. More details can be found in the earlier article.
What I wanted to talk about today is the fact that this demo appeared on a talk show at all. Is this a sign that gamer culture has finally arrived? I should stress that the demo wasn't shown as some kind of sideshow goofiness – Fallon was clearly excited and amazed by it. OK, the red jump suits were kind of goofy. Let's just put it this way, the demo was treated as seriously as anything else on Late Night.
In a short interview with gaming blog Kotaku, Fallon said: "We are treating game openings like movie openings if they're cool," he told Kotaku. "Video games are interesting, I think it's something a lot of people do now. At 34, Fallon is young enough to have grown up playing video games, and continues to do so today.
And who was running the demo? Kudo Tsunoda from Microsoft Game Studios, trademark sunglasses intact. Not some high profile PR figurehead, but one of the people working on bringing the technology into our living rooms in the not-too-distant future. This wasn't the first time a game-maker was on stage with Fallon. Apparently in an earlier show, game designer Tim Schafer appeared with Jack Black to talk about Schafer's game Brütal Legend (Jack Black provides the voice of the game's main character).
Personally, I've been playing video games since there were video games to play, and for much of that time being a gamer was something I more or less hid from people. Society seemed to think that video games were OK for children, but not something adults should be doing (Minesweeper was an exception, apparently). It's nice to see gaming coming out of the basement, so to speak, and being treated as a legitimate form of entertainment on national television.
Anyway, here's the clip from last night:


text:
Tokyo Commodity Exchange Inc. has agreed with U.S. derivatives market operator CME Group Inc. to start full-fledged negotiations on the joint use of CME's Globex 24-hour trading system, sources said.
TOCOM President Tadashi Ezaki and visiting CME Chief Executive Officer Phupinder Gill reached the agreement in Tokyo, the sources said Thursday.
TOCOM and CME confirmed that they will start working-level talks on necessary costs.
They also discussed possible joint listings of crude oil and liquefied natural gas futures, according to the sources.
TOCOM will make a final decision after assessing the effects of the joint use on its cut in systems costs and studying ways to increase participants in its market, particularly foreign investors, the sources said.
Ezaki has said that TOCOM hopes to reach a certain conclusion by the end of this year on its possible cooperation with other exchanges over its selection of its next trading system.
Behind the stance is the uncertainty over a government-proposed comprehensive exchange for securities, financial derivatives and commodities and over the next derivatives system of Japan Exchange Group Inc.

He has fractured ribs and will be very sore for a long time, but considering the wreckage he crawled out of it's an absolute miracle. He wanted to thank everyone who was at the accident scene, and we have to thank God we still have him. As I said on the air this morning, there's another family not as lucky as we were. Our thoughts and prayers are with that family. I played Angels Among Us on the air this morning for everyone involved.

There are a few threads on budget-friendly CG products. Here are a few ideas that might work for you.
Gelatin PT- my hair lies lots of protein so I make mine with 3-4 packets of gelatin in 1/2 cup of water with a bit of coconut oil (about the only time my hair tolerates coconut oil), honey, Epsom salt, Neutral Protein Filler and ION Effective Care (this is also a great budget-friendly RO with a decent hit of protein).
Cleansers- my favorite is VO5 Vanilla Mint Tea Conditioner for co-washing. Suave products tend to leave my roots gunky. For low-poo, I really like the Renpure Keratin or Argan Oil Shampoos- I found them to be more on the gentle side than most of the low-poos I've used. Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo is also very gentle, but a bit more expensive. Besides the As I Am line, I've also seen Eden BodyWorks in Sally's and their co-wash has more or a protein punch than As I Am.
Conditioners- I mentioned ION Effective Care before, and that's probably the cheapest high protein conditioner that I've found. Another great conditioner at Sally's is their GVP Conditioning Balm, which can be easily doctored into a deep conditioning treatment by adding a bit of oil (coconut, avocado, etc)
Styling products- Also a great selection at Sally's: Biotera Gel, GVP Liquid Sculpting Gel (high protein, glycerin-free and smells like raspberry Jello), Volumax Styling Gel or Mega Gel
I'm going to also suggest possibly trying a somewhat controversial ingredient, but I've found that it works well for me, and I've seen several fine-haired, higher porosity ladies rave about it- sealing with a few drops of mineral oil (I just use regular Johnson's Baby Oil). Apply sparingly to sopping wet hair after LI. I've had no issues with weigh down or build up, even with co-washing, but it's an ingredient that not everyone can use.

In Diversity Gap at Michigan Flagship, Signs of a Lost Public Mission
From the earliest teach-ins against the Vietnam War to demonstrations for black-studies programs, the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor has historically served as a bellwether of campus movements to democratize our society. Recent student protests against racism and a hostile campus climate have again placed Michigan at the center of debates about the waning of student diversity at the country's elite public universities.
Indeed, the trend at Michigan is hardly encouraging. Black undergraduate enrollment peaked at 9.2 percent in 1996-97. It declined to 7 percent by 2006 and dropped to 4.7 percent in 2013. Despite the growth of the Latino population locally and nationally, Latino undergraduate enrollment peaked at 5 percent in 2003 and 2005 and has since fallen to 4.4 percent. Native-American enrollment plateaued at 1 percent from 2004 to 2007 before plummeting to 0.2 percent from 2010 to 2013.
Out of 6,225 freshmen entering Michigan in the fall of 2013, there were only 282 Latinos, 246 African-Americans, and seven Native Americans. Dartmouth, an extremely selective Ivy League college in a small New Hampshire town, has double the percentage of underrepresented minorities in its student body.
At Michigan, how can an institution so deeply committed to diversity fall so short of its lofty goals? Much of the attention has justifiably focused on the legal restraints imposed by the state ban on affirmative action and the financial constraints imposed by declines in state funds for higher education.
However, it's important to take a step back and look at these developments within a broader trend that university administrators have aggressively pursued. Like the University of Virginia, the University of California at Berkeley, and other "public Ivies," Michigan is increasingly becoming a PINO university: public in name only.
The ranks of the student body are rapidly being filled by those who can afford to pay more than $220,000 for four years of college—just a shade less than the cost of attending Harvard.
In an ideal world, Michigan's administration would love to see the campus more diverse. But in the real world, in which officials jockey to secure their positions and justify salaries rivaling those of corporate executives, their primary focus is money. "Go Blue" may be the rallying cry in Ann Arbor, but the most important color is green.
Michigan has become a tale of two colleges: a moderately expensive one (approximately $27,000 a year for undergraduate tuition, fees, books, miscellaneous expenses, and room and board) serving an in-state student body that is moderately diverse, and an extremely expensive one (approximately $55,000 a year) serving an out-of-state student body that is overwhelmingly wealthy and white.
As Mary Sue Coleman, the university's president, called for increased enrollment of students "paying the full freight," enrollment from outside Michigan reached 46 percent last fall. The result is that the university not only reflects the race and class inequities inherent in our society, it actually reinforces and aggravates them.
Michigan's experience also exposes the fallacy that eliminating race-conscious admissions policies benefits low-income students of all races. The 2006 passage of state Proposal 2 banning affirmative action simply added new forms of racial disadvantage to already existing and intensifying forms of class-based exclusion.
Nearly three in five students come from families with annual incomes higher than $100,000, while a growing number are drawn from the super wealthy. Roughly 30 percent of students come from families with annual incomes higher than $200,000, and only 4 percent are from "low socioeconomic status." Bear in mind, too, that the university defines "low socioeconomic status" as having a parent without a college degree plus a family income of less than $50,000—which is actually higher than the state's median income and more than double the federal poverty level for a family of four.
The effect on the classroom is palpable. I have routinely taught courses on the history of Detroit with more students from tony suburbs like Huntington Woods (population 6,288) than Detroit (population 701,475). I can only imagine what the climate is like in the School of Business, with 31 Latinos, 18 African-Americans, and one Native American out of 1,312 undergraduates, and the School of Engineering, with one black female out of 742 students in the freshman class.
In large measure, the decline in racial and ethnic diversity stems from the conscious effort to recruit students willing to pay a private-college-level tuition. African-Americans make up 14 percent of the state population, but less than 6 percent of in-state undergraduates are black; they are almost entirely absent from the full-freight students that Michigan enrolls from out of state. For example, the Fall 2013 entering class included only three African-Americans out of 379 students from New York.
Although always framed as a desire to promote global exchange, the recruitment of international students is another veiled effort to boost the number of full-freight tuition payers. Thus, international students from China (2,292) now far outnumber the cumulative graduate and undergraduate enrollment of African-American students (1,816) or Latinos (1,876).
As bad as undergraduate enrollment looks, the situation is often much worse at the graduate level. This year's first-year law-school class of 330 students includes only 13 Latinos and nine African-Americans. The medical school's first-year class of 321 students has 12 blacks and eight Latinos. But appalling numbers can be found almost across the board—even the nursing school enrolled only four black women in a class of 280 students.
Students of color are increasingly decrying the university's bait-and-switch tactics, in which glossy marketing campaigns stress diversity to mask common occurrences of discrimination, alienation, and harassment. And for good reason.
As the law professors Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres have argued, communities of color serve as the "miner's canary." The paucity of diversity among the future leaders that Michigan is grooming to design our cities, care for our health, oversee our communities, shape our environment, and set policies for our government signals a looming collapse of the public mission at flagship universities unless we take bold action.
For better or worse, we stand at a turning point in the history of diversity in higher education. It's past time to jettison the flawed strategies that have polarized campuses and to transcend the feeble measures reeking of tokenism from bygone eras. True leadership is coming from below at Michigan, where the #BBUM Twitter campaign, which promotes black students on the campus, has led to seven demands from the Black Student Union to improve the racial climate. The issues include black enrollment, ethnic studies, financial aid, and housing.
Under the rallying cry "No More Excuses," the United Coalition for Racial Justice has organized hundreds of people on campus to demand sustained and systematic efforts to root out racism and inequity. For starters, they are calling for the sort of presidential mandate that has not been in effect since the late 1980s and 1990s.
Formally endorsed and paid for by the administration, the "Michigan Mandate" promoted a comprehensive approach to increasing representation of people of color among students, staff, and faculty, while advancing new curricular and extracurricular initiatives to boost retention rates and foster greater appreciation of diversity. The mounting challenges of the 21st century demand nothing less than a new and improved "Michigan Mandate."


text: LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., May 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Through its Cox Conserves sustainability program, Cox Enterprises is launching a national employee solar program that will provide incentives for employees who choose to install solar panel systems on their homes. The program was announced by Cox Enterprises Chairman Jim Kennedy today in a session on energizing employees at Fortune's Brainstorm Green conference. Cox's employee solar program was initially piloted in California through a partnership with SolarCity and has nearly 100 participants who can pay less for solar electricity than they pay for utility bills. "When we launched Cox Conserves, we really wanted to encourage our employees to be eco-friendly," said Kennedy. "Whether you are a corporation or an individual, everyone can do something to help preserve our environment. Our 50,000 employees are constantly sharing ideas that help green our operations. This program lets us help them be sustainable at home." Employees who qualify and sign up for the program will receive $500 directly from Cox Enterprises and an additional $500 discount from SolarCity, an exclusive offer for Cox employees. Cox's major subsidiaries include Cox Communications, Manheim, Cox Media Group and AutoTrader Group. SolarCity currently operates in Ariz., Calif., Colo., Conn., Del., Hawaii, Md., Mass., Nev., N.J., N.Y., Ore., Pa., Texas, Wash. and Washington, D.C. Employees are still eligible for the $500 incentive from Cox Enterprises in states where SolarCity does not currently operate. Cox Enterprises also rewards employees through the Cox Conserves Chairman's Cup, an internal program where operating locations are nominated by employees for sustainable projects. A winning location is selected from each of Cox's major subsidiaries to receive companywide recognition. The winning locations also select a local environmental nonprofit as the beneficiary of a donation from the James M. Cox Foundation. Cox Communications Arizona, Cox Media Group Tampa, Kelley Blue Book and Manheim Cincinnati were selected as the 2013 winners. Through the company's national partnerships with American Rivers and Ocean Conservancy, Cox Enterprises provides employees with volunteer opportunities to clean up their local rivers and shorelines.

Great Bloomers
Speak of Trouble
(Maple Music)
US: 5 May 2009
UK: Import
As a Canadian, I feel safe in saying that my country is lame, despite or even because of its finest efforts. For every Neil Young, there are dozens of Celine Dions and Nickelbacks who would not dare rock the boat if it meant risking a possible sale or even a disapproving shake of the head. This cultural cliché can be seen in the debut album from Toronto's Great Bloomers. Speak of Trouble is a clean, pleasant and non-engaging pastiche of Americana from Canadians. In between all the many Cuff The Duke and Great Lake Swimmers-styled prototypical country/folk/indie band nuisances, there exists a palpable sense that if this record were a living, breathing entity, it would feel hurt and ashamed if anyone did not immediately tolerate it. Take our natural resources and absurd comedians. Take our doctors and technology. Please, just say you like us, eh!
Woodie Guthrie and Stompin' Tom would not take this economy laying down, and neither should you. Take a step back from the glossy press-release distillation process that collects marginal contemporary influences like merit badges, get a sense of your bearings and recapture the true spirit of American folk and country. If you do it right, some people will not like you for it, but anything worth doing is worth doing right.

Zone and boiler run for seconds
So I was in the basement redoing some wiring...and I hear a zone valve open (I am working almost on top of the boiler). It's the basement zone calling for heat, the valve opens, and closes maybe ten seconds later. My Taco controller box has the light for the thermostat call out after the run as well. No way in ten seconds was there any change in area temperature....
Then maybe an hour later, the boiler fires on. Runs for about ten seconds, then shuts off. Wasn't near enough to the Taco box to see what was going on.
Is this normal behavior? If not, what gives do you think? Just me in the house, so no DHW being used either.
I should add:
The system is about six months old, so brand new.
If I turn a thermostat up, it functions perfectly. Zone valve opens and stays open, boiler fires and stays running. Seems like it might be a twitchy thermostat, that goes on, and then a few seconds later, changes it's mind and shuts everything off....
Hope that clarifies things!
if the stat is digital might of been some feed back into the zone valve calling in the boiler...remove the stat for the actual zone, and do a test jump from R to W to see the actions opening the zone on a jump :thumbsup: and it closing removing the jump.the zone valve action controls the boiler control thru an end switch if you have AUX wires from it...
Miss wired some where.

Free personalized radio that

Combined with their highly successful touring show, the duo proved nearly unbeatable as a force in reggaeton. 2008's Wisin & Yandel Presentan: La Mente Maestra, also went number one on the U.S. Latin and Mexican album charts, and was certified platinum in both countries. Their Midas touch continued with 2009's Revolución: Evolucion, which sold over three million copies globally, and 2011's Los Vaqueros: El Regreso, which was their fourth straight U.S. Latin album chart topper. It also claimed the number one entry in Mexico. The duo toured the Americas relentlessly. After 2012's chart-topping Líderes, Wisin & Yandel toured and coached with the reality show La Voz Mexico, and went on an official hiatus in 2013. The split, though shocking to the music press and fans, was not hostile. Each man claimed he had records to make apart from his work as a duo, and that they would work together again.
Yandel's sophomore set, De Líder a Leyenda, featured guest appearances by J Alvarez, Daddy Yankee, and Don Omar. The 16-song set placed number one on the Latin Albums and Latin Rhythms charts and was certified Gold. A single from this album, "Hasta Abajo," was used as the theme song for Univision's Nuestra Belleza Latina beauty pageant. Yandel released several singles and remixes from the album, toured, and made guest appearances on other performers' recordings. He re-entered the studio near the end of 2014 and issued no less than five singles in 2015, including "Encantadora," which landed in the Top 20 on numerous charts. The album Dangerous was released in early December. It featured guest spots by Shaggy, Alex Sensation, Lil Jon, and French Montana and topped the Latin album charts. Yandel also perfromed at the Cotto-Canelo fight, making him the first Latino ever to perform during an HBO pay-per-view event. ~ Jason Birchmeier & Thom Jurek

Well it's winter here in Oz, so I'll be :
- staying inside and creating templates, templates and more templates (they're so much fun! why didn't I start this last October when I joined.. silly me). I'm still on humble brown so maybe I should target black (is that after red?)
- occasionally stopping when the sighs of my GF get audible enough to distract me from my computer bubble
- doing some digging in the garden to prepare the spring vegie patch, especially when I hit one of those really horrible coding problems where your brain is so full of for loops that it's difficult to communicate to said GF
- try and avoid reading posts from northern hemisphere folk who are going on about their nice summer
Applying SWFaddress to an already built site is hard but not impossible.
Creating deep linking down to infinite levels is not impossible either, you just need to create a system for writing the urls – and stick to it. This is another reason why it is better to have one piece of code that handles the communication with javascript – this code creates the url and can also understand the urls that are received back from javascript (which is what happens when someone clicks the back button).
Eg my template just uses numbers eg: http://yoursite.com/#/0/2/0/3 which means takes you to a sub-sub-sub-page. The bit of code that creates #/0/2/0/3 can also understand and interpret which part of the flash file this represents.
My next version of this will allow numbers to be replaced by names if the author want is so #/0/2/0/3 could instead be #/main/people/bob/activities
BTW I 've used a SWFaddress alternative called FLurl for the template above, which I found to be a simpler option for my first go. However for my next file I'm going to go with SWFaddress because of the SEO capabilities.
I'm happy to answer any q's you have on this because I think that we all need to make flash templates do as much if not more than html cousins – because then we all sell more as you get ease of use, cool design and all the seo/navigation basics that html gives you. If flash sites get a rep for not doing basic things than folk won't even look at sites like flashden.
The sample size here is quite small, I wouldn't draw any conclusions until we've at least gone for a month with the new process. Who knows what seasonal variations might affect two different 10 day periods.
In my old gig where we lived and breathed stats, every conclusion about an effect of a site change would be regarded as tentative until at least 3 months after a new release.
Hi, it may be a bit over complicated for this specific problem but I have had some good experiences using this: http://www.amfphp.org/
It's a way of sending data from AS to php and back again as native data types (arrays, objects). I used it for my folio a few years back and it's still working like a breeze.
q1 – no, definitely we want to encourage new buyers/sellers in and we have no way of knowing what relevant questions they might have so an FAQ can only go so far
q2 – I like it, however the logic behind could maybe be looked at to ensure that it promotes up and coming as well as long term popular items. Maybe something like 'fastest movers' as they have in stock/share sites. This means that things that are seasonally popular such as end of FY things (that people find via keyword searches) will pop up occasionally… a bit like google trends no?
Thanks, always good to hear some solid numbers to kill off any lingering doubts. I don't know some old geezer was on about when he said, "lies, damned lies and statistics"
Another great news! So, no more templates using and using again always the same modules… right?
I hope not. I think a new site template with different navigation and layout/transistions that reuses 'page modules' should be acceptable. It would seem ridiculous to have to create a new image gallery module (or even form module, basic text page module…) for each new template design?
..last for today, I promise…
I like the way the upload queue now gives a breakdown of the count for the category as well as the overall queue, but in my case over the last few days this has made me as confused as the FD author in this post:
That thread has a good explanation – but doesn't explain how I could go from 1st out of 9 animations to 1st out of 6 animations (unless three animations were deleted).
My animation is fairly simple and obviously someone who handles animations is probably working – hence my confusion.
Now I don't doubt that there is a perfectly reasonable explanation so here's my suggestion…
How about adding a little faq about the queue logic and providing a link to this somewhere around the queue area of the upload page? Doesn't have to be much, just a little info to appease us worrisome authors
Hi, I just tried to set up RSS for comments as detailed in this FAQ : http://activeden.net/faq/selling#q19
And it didn't work so I searched the forums and got the answer here: http://activeden.net/forums/thread/item-comments-rss-feed/7536?page=1#62183
Maybe it's just a firefox and mac thing but in the faq the url to use is written as: http://activeden.net/feeds/useritemcomments/[myUserName].atom
When it should be: http://activeden.net/feeds/user_item_comments/[myUserName].atom
It's not a preloader but my wine pour animation is drawn from video so the pouring liquid is pretty realistic and adaptable to other uses.

Young The Giant's New Single 'It's About Time,' Available Today on iTunes
Fueled By Ramen recording group Young The Giant has announced the release of their hugely anticipated sophomore album. "MIND OVER MATTER" arrives everywhere on January 21st, 2014.
"MIND OVER MATTER" is heralded by the electrifying new single, "It's About Time," available today on the iTunes Store and at all leading DSPs. In addition, the track's companion video directed by acclaimed visual artist David Vincent Wolf is streaming now at Young The Giant's own www.youngthegiant.com.
Young The Giant enlisted Grammy-nominated producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen known for his work with such diverse artists as Beck, Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, and M83 to produce "MIND OVER MATTER." The forthcoming album follows their breakthrough 2010 debut, "YOUNG THE GIANT," which proved a milestone for the Southern California-based band, earning them widespread acclaim, massive media attention, and an ever-growing fan following. Among its many highlights, "YOUNG THE GIANT" features such hit singles as "Apartment" and the RIAA gold certified smashes, "My Body" and "Cough Syrup." "My Body" was a top 5 hit at Alternative radio and closed 2011 as the year's fifth most-played song at the format. "Cough Syrup" drew even greater success, peaking at #2 at Alternative, and crossover chart success at both Hot AC and Triple A radio. Most recently, "Cough Syrup" was performed on the season premiere of NBC's top-rated show "The Voice."
In addition to its popular success, "YOUNG THE GIANT" also drew reams of critical celebration, with The Wall Street Journal hailing it as "a pop masterpiece with well-crafted songs, surprising arrangements and soaring vocal harmonies." The New Yorker praised its "catchy vocals, big guitars, and dramatic buildups to bridled outpourings of emotion," while SPIN noted "with its explosive blend of martial rhythms, dive-bomb guitar chords, and lead singer Sameer Gadia's emphatic falsetto-to-bellow vocals, Young The Giant's breakthrough single 'My Body,' sounds like the work of a band born to rattle rafters." As if that weren't enough, "YOUNG THE GIANT" also received rare applause from the one and only Morrissey, who enthused, "I could break down with happiness at the new debut CD by Young The Giant. It is the whole thing... It is the perfect tone... and Sameer's voice is unbreakable. If there is any justice in the world (and we all know there isn't) Young The Giant will own most of it... Every three thousand years, a band comes along who restore that precious component of faith."

that's two mods ^^ let's put these changes in.
loving the two fora option. but that may seem extreme lol
It's a case of the powers that be wanting to put the effort in to bring the forum back alive or not. a few changes as jimmy is suggesting will help a lot. personally think the forum has to be one the best bits of free marketing around when at its peak.
I'm really glad other people see it the same way. ^ I feel bad for trying to antagonise you for about a year.
fair play to them, they are a busy crew to say the least. hope you fellas catch a day off sooner or later. but if you get a moment and can give the forum a trim, then awesome.
TTT for cutting down the forums
I wouldnt even notice if it was cut down, I log on and go straight to new posts every time, couldnt tell you what section I am posting this in tbh :(
I heard some bloke was selling tickets for MMA fights where it was a man v a pack of pug puppies in my local boozer, have you investigated this?

Lady Gaga + More Are Works of Art at MTV's Voices Dinner
Preceding their appearances and performances at the MTV Europe Music Awards, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and more were turned into works of art at the MTV Voices Dinner in Belfast, Ireland on Nov. 6. (Anyone else think Mother Monster doesn't look much different? She could totally pull this off today!) The MTV Voices Dinner honors stars who give back through charity work. Whose "voice" was the loudest?
That would be the Biebs! The Revolutionary new look in the gallery wasn't the only reworking of the Canadian pop star's potentially paternal image. The 'Under the Mistletoe' singer accepted his first EMA at the dinner, but humbly didn't take accept all the credit that came with it. "Just received my first EMA this year…got the award for our charity work. I say OUR because we do it together…." he tweeted, adding, "I know what it is like to not have a lot … So it feels great to be in a position to #giveback. thanks to everyone helping me. #MUCHLOVE."
With Bieber at the awards ceremony was girlfriend and MTV EMA host Selena Gomez, who was also pictured in some stuffy attire. Artistic tributes were also made to Adele, Katy Perry, Eminem, and, perhaps most appropriately, Queen B — Beyonce — as Queen Elizabeth I.

Will BMW ever add a back-up camera to the 1-series? I would have not hesitated to add the idrive with navigation even if I thought it would block a tiny bit of my view if it came with a back-up camera. I love the parking assist I added but a back-up camera would have made me not question my decision on not testing a few other cars out. I know some of my clients that are petite went to competitors since they wanted a back-up camera.

Tim Hortons, Canada's favorite doughnut and coffee chain, could soon become a bigger international player.
Burger King said Tuesday it struck a deal to buy the chain for about $11 billion and move its corporate headquarters to Canada. The companies say the deal creates the world's third-largest fast-food company. 3G Capital, the investment firm that owns a majority of Burger King, says it will use its expertise to expand Tim Hortons around the world, although it provided no details on specific markets.
Here's a look at Tim Hortons:
—The chain was founded in 1964 and initially sold just coffee and doughnuts. Over the years, it added bagels, muffins, cakes, pies, soups, chili, sandwiches and the bite-sized doughnut holes known as Timbits.

MTA Buying Hundreds of New Commuter Rail Cars
The MTA has voted to spend $1.8 billion to buy up to 676 commuter railroad cars from the Kawasaki Rail Car company. The cars will be built in Yonkers and are scheduled to be placed into service from 2017 to 2019.
As of now, the MTA has the money to buy only 92 cars at cost of $355.5 million. If funding is available in the forthcoming 2015-2019 MTA Capital Plan and the railroads choose to exercise future options, Kawasaki will manufacture up to 304 additional cars for the LIRR and up to 280 cars for Metro-North.
The new cars will beef up the fleets of Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road. But they won't necessarily decrease car overcrowding on the lines, which is largely caused by stations with platforms that aren't long enough to handle larger trains.
The MTA also announced it's testing a new zero-emission electric bus.

UPDATE 1-Mexico's ICA sells stake in waste firm, in talks with Caisse -sources
(CDPQ in talks with ICA, background)
By Alexandra Alper and Christine Murray
MEXICO CITY Dec 23 (Reuters) - Mexico's ICA has sold its stake in an environmental waste firm for around 1.2 billion pesos ($69.69 million), two people close to the negotiations said, as the embattled construction company scrambles for cash after declaring it would default.
ICA sold its 49 percent stake in Proactiva Medio Ambiente Mexico to a trust run by prominent Mexican businessman Fernando Chico Pardo, one of the people told Reuters. ICA jointly owned Proactiva with French water and waste group Veolia.
Gabriel Ibarra, an advisor to ICA Chairman Bernardo Quintana, confirmed the company had sold Proactiva but added that it was more focused on helping cash flow by finishing projects than by selling assets.
ICA is also in talks with Canada's second largest pension fund, Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec over possible asset sales, a third person said. ICA declined to comment on this.
The three people declined to be named as the negotiations were not public. Veolia, Proactiva and Caisse declined to comment.
Chico Pardo, board president of airport operator Asur and head of financial investment company Promecap, closed the deal with ICA in the last few days, the people said. Chico Pardo did not respond to requests for comment.
ICA had already sharpened its focus on asset sales before saying on Friday it would not pay $31 million due on an interest payment at the end of November, and that it aimed to draw up an initial restructuring plan by mid-February. Continuación...

Four years ago, Barack Obama's inauguration raised nightlife in Washington to a fever pitch. Jay-Z, Diddy and Young Jeezy hosted big-ticket "inaugural balls" at Love, where Stevie Wonder also made an appearance. Moby took over the 9:30 Club until the wee hours. Many nightspots were booked for pricy inaugural events, asking for sky-high cover charges while shutting out regular patrons. And those clubs that tried to keep it business-as-usual were packed anyway, with lines of Washingtonians and tourists out the door.
The revelry will return as Obama begins his second term. More than 150 restaurants and bars received permission to stay open 24 hours a day and serve drinks until 4 a.m. through the wee hours Tuesday. The diverse roster of participants — viewable at goingoutguide.com/bars — includes dive bars, sushi bars, concert halls and pricey bottle-service lounges. Musicians, actors and athletes will be on hand for the weekend's festivities, performing or just guest-hosting at parties.
Here's some good news: Everyone expects things to be more low-key than 2009, when getting into a club, checking a coat or hailing a cab quickly became a quagmire. Inauguration planners are estimating that crowds descending on the District this weekend will be at least half as large as four years ago, and bar owners are expecting a similar drop.
"[In 2009,] Marvin got overrun seven days straight," says Ian Hilton, who runs a number of U Street nightspots with his brother, Eric. "This time, we have a lot of reservations, but it's not at the same level. . . . We will fill up, but I don't think it's going to be a block party, like 14th and U was four years ago."
Whether clubs are packed elbow to elbow, there's plenty to do this weekend. Little Miss Whiskey's Golden Dollar, which procured a 4 a.m. license, has booked an impressive trio of parties. New Yorker Jasmine Solano, who serves as Wiz Khalifa's tour DJ, spins Friday. The following night, underground hip-hop star Talib Kweli drops a guest DJ set. Sunday brings genre-smashing DJ Ayres of Brooklyn party the Rub to play dance music that's all over the map. None of those events will cost you a dime.
There's a similar theme at Tropicalia, where you can catch Malian singer Cheick Hamala Diabate and Afropop DJs (Friday), a mix of African and American hip-hop artists (Saturday), a Brazilian band and samba dancers (Sunday) and moombahton, juke and club music (Monday). Only the first two have a $5 cover; the others are free.
Town, the city's largest gay dance club, is also hosting late-night parties for those on a budget. Saturday brings famed international DJ Hector Fonseca and the house drag show. (Arrive before 11 p.m. for $8 admission and $3 drinks.) Sunday's "Glitter Ball" is billed as "the gayest inauguration party ever," with performers and DJs Ed Bailey, Keenan Orr and Aaron Riggins spread over two floors, with a $5 cover charge.
Of course, if you're looking for glamour and big names without paying inaugural ball prices, there's plenty of opportunity. The Park at 14th is hosting a Saturday afternoon "day party" with actor Boris Kodjoe from 3 to 9 p.m. The main Saturday night soiree features hip-hop star Common and radio/TV host Kenny Burns, and Jamie Foxx hosts Sunday's party. (Advance tickets for all events are $20; buy ahead to skip serious lines.) Buzzed-about rapper Trinidad James is performing at the upscale lounge Opera on Sunday night; Love's schedule includes Meek Mill on Friday and Future on Saturday, both of which cost $40.
One final reminder: Just because a bar received a license allowing it to stay open until 4 a.m. doesn't mean you can show up Friday at 3:30 looking for a drink. Cafe Saint Ex and Hill Country, to name two, will extend hours only on Sunday and Monday. Ian Hilton says that while U Street Music Hall, the Brixton, Marvin and Chez Billy might be open late, there's no guarantee they will be going full throttle until last call every night.
"We'll play it by ear," Hilton says, depending on the vibe of the crowd and how busy the bar is. On Monday night, when Marvin features DJ Jahsonic's crowd-pleasing mix of classic hip-hop, '80s R&B and vintage soul, it might look like 2009 all over again.

Jan. 9, 2014
2014 Schedule | UTTIX.com
We are now 29 days away from the start of the 2014 Tennessee softball season!
In January and February UTSports.com will count down the days remaining until the start of the Lady Vols' 2014 campaign (Feb. 7) with looks back at the many Lady Vols who donned jersey numbers 30-00.
Time to hop in the DeLorean and travel back 14 years to catch up with the only Lady Vol to ever wear No. 29, alum Amanda Venable (1999-2000 and pictured above).
1999-2000 | IF/C | 5-8 | R/R | Rio Linda, Calif.
Venable was a big-time player who made an impact immediately. After a junior college All-American career at Sacramento City CC in which she hit .429 with 73 RBIs, 18 doubles and eight triples, Venable brought a big stick to the UT lineup. Joining the Lady Vols as a junior in 1999, Venable hit .376 with nine homers, 18 doubles, and 53 RBIs. She and teammate Kenyail Norris were the first Lady Vols to earn SEC All-Tournament honors. Venable finished her UT career with a .353 batting average (143-for-405) with 16 homers, 32 doubles, 91 RBIs and 57 runs. She was also one of those special players who elevated her game in conference play, boasting a .371 batting average (65-for-175) with seven homers, 15 doubles and 32 RBIs over 55 SEC games.
- Decided to attend UT because of the schools tradition, athletic facilities and commitment to women's athletics
- Highest ambition is to help the Lady Vols to a national title
- Enjoys shopping and spending time with family and friends

I posted this over at the RPF.
Basically I just finished up a new low-cost trooper and Fett voice changer/amp. It does both effects and has several new features for a voice changer in its price class. It is still not as accurate as Vortex, but is meant to be more of a "bang for the buck" unit.
I just put a few fett samples up, please let me know what you think.
Feel free to contact me if anyone is interested. Thanks for looking.

FAISALABAD, Pakistan, Oct 22 (Reuters) Pakistan paceman Mohammad Asif has been ruled out of the tomorrow's one-day international against South Africa after failing to recover from an elbow injury.
The five-match series is tied at 1-1 after Pakistan won the second match in Lahore on Saturday.
''Asif has been advised to rest for one more match as he has not made a 100 per cent recovery,'' chief selector Salahuddin Ahmed told Reuters today.
Asif missed the first two one-dayers because of the elbow problem he picked up in the second test earlier this month.
Ahmed said the selectors would also look into the option of resting Asif for the remainder of the series so he could be ready for tour to India starting next month, which includes three tests and five one-day internationals.
''Shoaib Akhtar should be back for the final match so we will have bowling options but we don't want to take a risk with Asif's elbow problem.'' Shoaib will complete a 13-match ban after the fourth match in Multan.
The paceman was suspended and fined 55,000 dollar on four charges of misconduct earlier this month by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
His ban period started from the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in Spetember.
