My wife slapped me in the chest waking me up from my sleep. "WHERE'S WZ!!!??!?!" She screamed. You see, WZ sleeps between us on our bed. But he's a lousy sleeper so he ends up all over the place, at the foot of the bed, the head, in my wife's face, etc. etc.
I scanned the bed in front of me, sure enough.. WZ was missing! This wasn't good, we were always afraid that WZ might roll off the bed, so we bought some bed railings and cordoned off most off the gaps, it should have protected him from most falls. More importantly... if WZ DID fall, and he didn't cry when he did... that would be VERY VERY BAD.
As I was about to freak out, I felt something on my back (I was sleeping on my side) I carefully turned around and.. there was WZ, sleeping VERY SOUNDLY. Heck, his pacifier was still in his mouth!
The question now was how did he get over there? One theory was that he crawled over me, but if he crawled over me, he'd have to fall onto the area beside me, and there's no way the pacifier would stay there. He couldn't have crawled the LONG way around me cause... the way he moves, the pacifier would never stay in his mouth. The 3rd possibility is that I sleep walked.. moved him over beside me and forgot all about it.
And that's scary!

I want death to mean something...Currently in UO death is too easy. It happens all the time and players usually dont care if they die. I want death to be a scary thing that players avoid at all costs even when they are naked and not in danger of loosing items.
- Perhaps Death can set a player's EXP to 0.
- Make Resurrection harder to do...fewer ankhs, fewer NPC healers willing to heal,
- Maybe there is a way we could make it like old-school video games. Where you have a certain number of "lives" or times you can be resurrected before having to wait for a cool down. Example: Lets say a player gets 3 resurrections per world save. Upon the 4th death, the player will have to wait as a ghost until the next worldsave before attempting to resurrect again.
I do however want (if agreed upon by the devs) a player to be returned to his or her body upon resurrection.
- I liked the way WoW treated their death. Your spirit would be released from your dead body and would teleport to the nearest graveyard, then, you had to run back to your body and would resurrect in proximity of your dead body. If we make them have to run a good distance to either ankh or run back to their body from the nearest ankh it may be enough penalty to make players care more. Also in WoW if you start dying over and over you will have a penalty in time for when you can resurrect again. New players to UO will spend plenty of time dying so I don't want to make it too annoying. I also don't want gear to be easier lost than it was to get it. -Hogosha
- I agree that once resurrected you should return to your body. I also think that without the help of another player resurrection should be somewhat difficult so that death is meaningful. Losing all EXP is a little too harsh though, maybe for a set time after death and resurrection you would only gain half experience instead of reseting to 0 for that level. Also we could implement a system like WOW where upon resurrection you take resurrection sickness and your stat values are reduced by a percentage for a set period of time. In these two ways you don't want to die because there are hindering penalties but not something that would keep you from progressing in the game. Having fewer ankhs and healers in the game could work, I know I wouldn't want to die and have to run all the way back to town to resurrect. Incapacitation is a great idea its annoying but at the same time redeeming. It also has a kind of Mortal Kombat feel to it so you can annihilate someone with an awesome finishing move that might take more time to prepare than a regular move in fast combat. While dead a player shouldn't be able to do anything but move freely throughout the world, ghosts are corporeal entities and shouldn't be able to interact with the material plane. Also lets fix resurrection so that the death shroud doesn't turn into a robe and stay on you you should either be naked or return to your body reequipped and as if nothing happened. -Outlaw Star
Death System 1.0
When a player's HITS reach 0 they fall to the ground and are "incapacitated" for 10 seconds. During this 10 seconds the player may be healed in which case the player will get back up and resume where he left off. Alternatively, the player may also be "finished off" in which case they are actually dead. At the end of the 10 seconds, if the player has not been healed or already finished off, he dies.
Upon death, a player looses all EXP gained up until that point and is reduced to the form of a ghost. In this form a player can do very little and must be resurrected by some means in order to continue game play. A fellow player may cast resurrect on the dead player's corpse (if it is "Intact") or the dead player's ghost may seek out a cleric (either player or NPC) to resurrect him. Also some spells, items, or abilities may allow the player to resurrect himself or to be auto-resurrected.
Upon Resurrection, if the corpse of the player was targeted, the player's ghost will be returned to that body and will resume where he left off. If the player's ghost was targeted, and an "Intact" corpse still exists in the world for that ghost, it will be given a choice to "resurrect here" or to "return to my body." However, if the player's corpse has already decayed then the ghost will be resurrected where he is standing.
Corpse Decay and Looting
When a player dies he leaves an "Intact" corpse. The corpse remains "Intact" for several real time hours. Once that time runs out the corpse begins to "decay" (it turns to bones). Any player may freely loot a decaying corpse. While "Intact," however, the corpse may only be looted freely by players who have been given permission to loot that player's body. Other players must either wait for the corpse to decay or else use the snooping and stealing skills to loot items.
COMMENT - One thing i am unsure about here...I want players to be able to carve corpses and they shouldn't have to wait for the corpse to decay. I don't want it to affect looting rights and resurrection capabilities. Any ideas about this are welcome!

FACTOTUM is the selection in this maiden with Ignotus and Houghton the others to make some appeal. Factotum has had his chances in the past and doesn't look particularly well handicapped even if Bollin Felix's recent labours are taken into account. That said, this is a maiden race and his presence appears to have scared off the most meaningful opposition. Ignotus is infamous under National Hunt rules having earned Thomas Thompson a ban for his New Years Day horror show. A Grade 2 hurdler, he was out of his depth in the Scottish Champion Hurdle but the ground won't bother him here. Houghton seems to have plenty of time off between races. The visor smacks a little of desperation. Motarid didn't enjoy the clearest of passages at Pontefract last time out so be prepared to put the black marker through that form line. Harry Dunlop's team are not noted for first time out winners but Prophet's Star, who is a son of Daylami, is watched in the market. Raider Of The East once sold for 260 000gns at public auction but those days look long behind him and his bumper form don't exactly convince. Factotum should prove too good for his rivals today.
Factotum 3-1 (9-9) Tracked leader, pushed along over 6f out, effort over 3f out, weakened over 1f out, 3rd of 8, 15l behind Bollin Felix (9-1) at Haydock 1m 6f hcp 0-85 (4) hvy in Jul.

Raider of The East (IRE) 12-1 (10-13) Held up behind, good headway over 4f out, soon hung left, ridden and kept on from over 1f out, 4th of 14, 11l behind Rubys Cove (11-2) at Wetherby 2m nhf (6) gd in Jun (N.Hunt).

200 pages, Col and b/w photos, maps
The High Level River Rhine Walking Trail, the Rheinhohenweg, is a long distance walking trail which follows the course of the River Rhine in Germany from Bonn, the old West German capital, upstream to Alsheim, a village deep in the heart of the famous Rhine vineyards, south of the city of Mainz. The total distance is 273km (170miles). The trail described in this guide can be walked in fourteen fairly relaxing stages and provides an opportunity not only to enjoy the outstanding scenery of the area but also to visit some of the many places of historical, architectural and cultural interest in the Rhineland, deservedly the most famous of all the German regions. Sketch maps, summary tables and detailed information on places of interest accompany the route description. The author is an experienced long distance walker and writes regularly for the outdoor press.

If you're considering earning a master's degree, your choice of major will affect how much you will earn in your career far more than which university you go to. PayScale's College Salary Report includes data for hundreds of graduate degrees and ranks them by the median mid-career salary of the college graduates who hold them. Note that MBAs were not counted in this list.
If you've read our list of the best bachelor's degree majors by salary potential, this may sound a little familiar: Petroleum Engineering is one of the master's degree subjects with the highest salary potential. Another high median mid-career salary belongs to workers who get a master's degree in Nurse Anesthesia. These workers, who presumably already earned a bachelor's degree and RN, are able to work in hospitals and surgical centers and give anesthesia just like a medical doctor.
The rest of the list of highest-paying master's degree majors is a parade of other STEM subjects, like computer science, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering and chemical engineering.
Earning a master's degree takes a lot of time, effort and money, and some simply don't result in high salaries. For example, Early Childhood Education is a major with low earning potential. Other master's degree majors with limited earning potential are Human Services, Counseling and Divinity.

Australia bring back Symonds
All-rounder Andrew Symonds has been included in Australia's preliminary squad for this year's ICC World Twenty20.
Last Updated: 03/04/09 10:42am
Andrew Symonds has been included in Australia's preliminary squad for this year's ICC World Twenty20.
A season blighted by injury, poor form and controversy means the influential all-rounder has not played for his country since the Boxing Day Test against South Africa.
But despite his past problems, which culminated in the 33-year-old enrolling in counselling, he has been named in a 30-man party for the tournament in England.
"I'm grateful that I've got the chance to get back to playing for Australia again," Symonds said.
"Hopefully, the boys go well in South Africa on Friday and for the rest of the series because I'd love to be back in the rooms with them again sometime down the track."
Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said the selectors had been advised Symonds had reached a point in his counselling where it was appropriate to consider him for international selection, subject to fitness and form.
"Cricket Australia and Andrew have been speaking, as have members of the team leadership group, and we are satisfied he is committed to doing the things needed of an Australian international cricketer," Sutherland said.
Chairman of selectors, Andrew Hilditch, added:" At his best Andrew is one of the most dynamic Twenty20 players in the world and his progress will be monitored leading up to the selection of the final 15."
Batsman Brad Hodge is another to be recalled, while recovering players Brett Lee, Shaun Tait, Shane Watson and Shaun Marsh have also been included.
There are three uncapped players in the squad in Western Australian spinner Aaron Heal, Victoria batsman Rob Quiney and South Australia wicketkeeper Graham Manou.
The final squad will be whittled down to 15 by May 5.
Australia squad: Nathan Bracken, Michael Clarke, Callum Ferguson, Brett Geeves, Brad Haddin, Ryan Harris, Shane Harwood, Nathan Hauritz, Aaron Heal, Moises Henriques, Ben Hilfenhaus, Brad Hodge, James Hopes, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Jason Krejza, Ben Laughlin, Brett Lee, Graham Manou, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Rob Quiney, Peter Siddle, Andrew Symonds, Shaun Tait, Adam Voges, David Warner, Shane Watson, Cameron White.

The surrender of the mutineers on
Brazilian warships at Rio Janeiro was
a decided victory for them and a
humiliating defeat of the Brazilian
Congress. That body, while the guns
of the fleet were trained upon the capi
tal, were forced to grant amnesty
and all other demands to men who
had not only been guilty of a
capital offense in hatching mutiny, but
who murdered some of their officers.
As dispatches from Rio Janeiro, truth*
fuly say, the pride of Brazil is now
virtually at~au end, as that country is
really in the hands of thoughtless sailors
who are liable to repeat the scenes en
acted this week on every little pretext.
The ships seized by the mutineers were
at Lisbou when Portuguese sailors re
belled against Iving Manuel and bom
barded the royal palace. The Bra
zilians, it seems, were afforded an ob
ject lesson upon which they acted al
most as soon as they returned to their
own capital. There is no telling how
many sailors manning ships of other
countries will attempt to ape those of
South America.
At Winstcd, Conn., yesterday a

ten up. He took a step, staggered,
and fell to the ground unconscious.
Water was immediately applied to his
head and a call made for a doctor. Tin:

five minutes after he received the in

young man's death, lii boxing bouts

or so severely injured that death fol

Only two of a host of callers at the
White House today succeeded in pen
etrating to the inner sanctum and the
president devoted practically the entire
day to dictating his annual message to
Congress. The Cabinet meeting today,
the first since the election., was devoted
to a discussion of the message and
plans for a coming short session. All
the members were present except Sec
retary of War Dickinson. Senator
Hale of Maine and James J. Hill,
former president of the Great Northern
Railroad were the visitors who saw the
president. Both were uncommunica
tive regarding their visit.
An example of how the ultimate con
sumer has to pay for all the freight
rate increases and how everybody along
the line adds just a little bit more to his
bill, was given before the Interstate
Commerce Commission today by H. C.
Harlow, traflic director of the Chicago
Association of Commerce. He was the
chief witness at today's session of the
rate hearing. The railroads, Barlow
said, thought it was proper to get more
revenue, and so dc ided to ad
vance rates on such commodities as
they chose to select for advantage while
some were unchanged and others re
duced. He charged that all tbo pro
nosed increases in rates were imposed
?n tori per cent, of the total tonnage.
The railroads charged S5 per cent, of
the increases against class freight and
only 15 per cent, against commodities,
he declared. It is the class freight,
Barlow said, that goes direct to the re
tailer and thus any increase that is
made will be passed directly to the con
lu a telegram to the State Depart
ment today Thomas P. Edwards, con
sul at Ciudad Guarez, said that the ex

serted that in his opinion tho reports

declared that he had received reports
from Torreon, Gomez Balacio, Barral,
Durango and Zacatczas indicating that
conditions arc improving. A message
from Ambassador Wilson at Mexico
City today said that calm prevailed at

A dispatch received at tho Brazilian

"We repent of the act which we have
done and /or our defense utid for the
sake of order, justice and liberty we
lay down our anus trusting that amnesty
will be granted to us. We will remain
forever obedient to Your Excellency in
whom we place all trust." The sur
render occurred subsequent to a threat
ened attack upon the war ship3 held by
the mutinous crews by the entire naval
force in Bio harbor, a squadron of
cruisers, destroyers and smaller
craft. The Brazilian government had
determined if necessary to sink the
drcadnaughts by torpedoing them and
had advised the crews of the Sao Paulo

from Hugh Mcintosh, the Austrian

$15,000 and expenses as his share of
the fight with Langford. Mcintosh
urges Woodman to use every effort to

Brazilian Congress Grants Amnesty to
Mutinous Crews of Men-of-war while
Guns of the Vessels were Trained
Upon the City.
Rio De Janeiro, Nov. 25.?After a
vote-of amnesty by the Brazilian Con
gress ami the granting of all their de
mands, the mutineers aboard the
Brazilian warships surrendered today.
The demands of the mutineers were
granted and the amnesty voted at an
extraordinary session of Congress_to
day. The Chamber of Deputies follow
ed the example of the Senate is agree
ing upon amnesty and both house then
voted to concede the demands of the
A representative of the government,
under a flag of truce, mado his way to
the warships and was received by a
committee of the sailors. As soon as
the action of Congress was conveyed to
the mutinous sailors, they laid down
their arms.
Congress took this action as the
alternative of haviug the guns of its
warships continue their fire upon the
city. The guns of the battleships Minas
Ceraes, Sao Paulo, the scout cruiser
Deodora and the scoutship Bahia were
all trained on the city during tho time
that Congress was in session.
By granting amnesty and the de
mands of the sailors the usefulness of
tho Brazilian navy, the most ambitious
of all those of tho South Ameicaa
countries, is believed to be at an end.
Fresh outbreaks may be expected at
any timo and upon tho slightest provo
cation the sailors, depending upon their
power over the government, can en
force their demands. A practical un
dermining of tho Brazilian republic
even may bo the consequence.
The first outbreak occurred last Tues
day night. Captain Batiste Dai Neves,
commanding the modern and newly de
livered dreadnaught battleship Minas
Gcraes, had beon dining aboard the
French training ship Duguay Trouin.
When he returned to his ship he found
the crew in mutiny. When he at
tenv. ted to drive the men back lo their
posts he was killed, with two otlier
officers. The drednaught Sao Paulo
and the scout cruiser Bahia at once
joined in the mutiny, all tlircu of the
vessels sending their officers ashore.
The command of thesquadron was then
takeu by Jean Candido, a sailor of the
first class, who has manouevrcd the
ships with rare skill.
The magazines were burst open and
ammunition dealt out lo the various gun
crews. Provisions were requisitioned
and coal seized from tho Island of
Vianna, the depot. Barges transport
ing coal to the French steamer Ai
lantiquo and tho English ship Oronsa
were commandeered.
Carnegie Increases Endowment.
New York. Nov. 25.?Three scon
years ten and three was tho record
hung up today by Andrew Carnegie.
Among the gifts he received at his
palatial Fifth avenue homo was a
silver tray from tho students of the
Pittsburg Technical School that he
founded. Among those he distributed
was an increase to the school's endow
ment of $3,800,1)00. The school is
thus ahead about $3,709,900.
Tho first announcement was that
the Laird of Skibo's gift to tho school
would be $1,500,000, but in changing
his clothes yesterday, the little Scot
came across an extra $2,800,000 and
[threw this in with the $1,500,000.
The announcement brought a bunch
of rah-rahs from Pittsburg and a silver
tray. The new gift will be in the shape
of 5 percent bonds of the United States
Carnegie carries his 73 years none
too easily. He has aged rapidly in
the last few year3 and is now in rather
feeble condition.
Narrow Escape from Fire.
Boston, Nov. 25.?Eight persons are

personal belongings in the lire.
The two probably fatally injured are
Mrs. Margaret Beggs, of Springfield,
Mass., and her 10-year-old son,John C.

internal injuries by jumping from their

The fire started on tho lower floor in
the linen room from a, defective furnace
Hue and before it was discovered by the

alarm by police reserves and firemen
saved the lives of many of the guests
who were hastily carried down ladders
to safety. The hotel and two adjoin

Disastrous Elm in Clilrugo.
Chicago, Nov. 25.?Chicago's long

track, where four hundred frame stables
and one dwelling were burned by an in
' Blind" John Condon, owner of the
track, has been one of the notable
figures in the gambling war. and as
this was the second disastrous fire on
his property, the police believe it was
merely an episode in the big fight.
The suffragetts continued their
riotous conduct in London yesterday
evening. They gathered in White Hall
and smashed a number of windows in
government offices. Sixteen of their
number were arrested. ?
The Times argues that Premier
Asquith's promise to give facilities at
the next Parliament for a women's
suffrage bill will make this question
an issue of the coming elections, and
that if the elections confirm the gov
ernment in power the new Parliament
will be considered to have received a
mandate to grant women votes on a
democratic basis.
The Times thinks that neither the
militant suffragists themselves nor the
public perceived the significance of
Mr. Asquith's premise, and dilates
on the danger of th2 situation in the
face of the fact that a number of the
women of the country and the great
majority of male electors resolutely
oppose woman suffrage.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
A recent publication in one of the
London (England) papers gives an
exceedingly interesting account of
Warwick Castle (Warwick, England)
which will doubtless awaken some
thought of ancient family connections
in the minds of a numberof the readers
of your ancient and valuable paper
(valuable for its long existence as the
leading messenger of news to your
city and surrounding community).
Echoes from the past could give us
back the names of many who ohce trod
proudly the streets of Alexandria
(Belle Haven), to whom the name of
Warwick was not unfamilliar. Wash
ington, Lee, Alexander, Newton,
Hunter, Robinson, Taylor, and a host
of others, some few descendants of
these and others may now be living,
and who no doubt daily peruse the
pages of "The Alexandria Gazette"
witli all tho pleasure of former years
(before the war).
The castle of Warwick, or Warwick
Castle, was built soma nine hundred
years after tho town of Warwick was
founded, so the town is much more
ancient, it having been founded A. 1).
1. and was first called Caer-Coc, then
tho namo was changed to "Werhica"
in the time of tho Anglo-Saxons. Caer
Con having been destroyed by the
Picts and Scotts, was occupied and re
built by King Caractacus who came
upon tho scene at that time and named
tho town "Warhica." So that the
present town of Warwick is fairly an
cient, being 1910 years old. Ethel
tleda daughter of King Alfred founded
tho Castle of Warwick A. 1>. 015. It
played a very considerable part in the
ravages of that section of England
by the Danes.
Sir Walter Scott called it the fairest
monument of ancient and chivalrous
splendor which lemains uninjured by
time. And no doubt but that Sir
Walter knew something about castles
and chivalry also. Its most famous
tower is called "Caesar's" and this
magnificent structure has stood in
dignity and majesty unchanged by
time for nearly on thousand years, and
undamaged by war fur all this time,
Ix-ing as firm now as the rock on which
it is founded. No visitors arc admitted
to this tower, below which, deep down,
is tho terrible dungeon in which the
unfortunate prisoners rotted out their
From tho lodge to the castle the ap
proach is cut through solid rock for
one hundred yards. The scene which
bursts upon tho visitor after passing
through the big double gateway the
sight of the magnificent irregular cas
tellated pile of tho feudal barons of
Warwick is not easily forgetable. In
side the castle everything is just as in
teresting as on the outside. A priceless
collection of pictures, armor, and ob
jects of vertu are housed here. The
most interesting room is tho great hall,
which contains the gigantic armor and
weapons of the great and formidable
Earl Guy, of Warwick. m
This "Caractacus1' who rebuilt the
town of Warwick opposed the Romans
and was the first king of Brittany. He
surrendered to Claudius Caesar. His
descendants held many prominent
positions in England, and tho name
Caractacus finally changed to Casa-'ock
and Craddock, then Newton. John
Caradock was Lord of Newton, The
name Caractacus died out altogether,
and only "Newton" remained. It is
interesting to know that the record of
the descent from Caractacus the first
king of I-jritlany to the Newton family
of Virginia and its branches is about as
perfect as can be. I guess all of oar
ancestors were once privates, and sav
ages. Are we any better off today?

As I have stated a few times before..I do not use any heat on my hair at all. No direct or in-direct heat, so I have to result in airdrying. One of the many complaints people have in regards to airdrying is that their hair or ends get frizzy. I don't have this issue. So here are a few ways I airdry to avoid that.
* I always use a moisturizing leave-in conditioner and seal with a light oil after washing
* When my hair is 80% Dry I either do a few big single braids or twists with silk rollers on the ends
* or when my hair is about 70% dry, comb hair back, apply some more leave-in or moisturizer to hair, then tie a scarf around the front with the ends hanging out, then put hair in two big twists,apply oil to my ends then place a bonnet on my hair
You can also airdry with regular rollers or flexi-rods. It may take a little longer to dry..but it's worth a try.

New Face of Luster's Pink Lotion
You know they are dead wrong for doing each-others relaxers..LOL..Well unless they really, really, really, knew how to do it right. Haven't seen any of their real hair, so I can't say.
Oh and I used to use Pink hair lotion when I was younger too. This was when I knew absolutely nothing about hair care and thought this product would work wonders. Needless to say; with all that mineral oil in that product, it did nothing but coat my hair, not moisturize!

Benefits of Pre-pooing- They help Condition Hair. Although you are washing it out, applying the conditioner or oil to dry hair will provide extra conditioning benefits.
They also help protect hair from the harsh shampooing process. Using an oil or conditioner helps provide a barrier between the hair and shampoo
How to Pre-poo- Apply Oil(hot or cold) or conditioner to dry hair in sections from root to tip, cover with a plastic cap and go under the dryer for about 30 minutes then continue to wash following your normal routine. The heat really absorbs the products.
You can also do the same thing, then go to sleep and wash out the next Morning. You will get the same results from using heat.
How often should you Pre-poo- At least once a week
Do I prepoo?- Yes, I sure do! I pre-poo with Oils mostly, Jojoba, Sweet Almond, Coconut and sometimes Grapeseed Oil. How I do it is a little different, I apply a crap load of oil to mostly my newgrowth and ends on the night before shampoo day. (I shampoo on Sundays now) then wash out in the Morning.

Self Relaxing
The following is what I to ensure an efficient relaxer application and prevent overprocessing. I also relax straight and process for 15 min.
-I do Half/Half Method where the back will always be done first. I apply relaxer to the back only and then, rinse, condition and then neutralize. After the back is complete, I do the same for the front. I put a shower cap with clips attached to section that is not being worked on.
-Apply conditioner(I usually Profectiv Breakfree) to areas of hair already relaxed.
-Part hair in four sections; two in front and two in the back.
-Part 1/4 inch sections within sections and loosely twist each section. I got the twist technique from Softresses and it works like a charm. I didn't get any relaxer on my already relaxed hair and I was able to navigate quickly. I took about 2-3 min to apply relaxer to each quarter.

My New Fav Mascara
I have really short eyelashes :-(....so I try to find mascara that can lengthen, yet thicken them up.
I used to LOVE CoverGirl LashBlast and would only buy that kind but I just ran out of my last tube and figured it was time to try something different. My motto is: If it's not broke..Don't fix it..but if you think you can do better..give it a shot
So, I picked up CoverGirl LashBlast Length
Monday, July 26
Relaxer Date
I finally set a date at which I will relax my hair. August 14th!
That will make me exactly 20 weeks(5 months) post relaxer!
A week before I relax...
- I will shampoo and do a protein treatment in my hair to make sure it is extra strong to endure all those chemicals. I will use ORS Hair Mayo mixed with an egg.
- I will not be working out as often to avoid co-washing/manipulating my hair.
- I will not be oiling my scalp a week before the relaxer. For anyone using sulfur based products for hair growth you should discontinue use a week before the relaxer as well.
- I will basically be leaving my hair alone!
Now I need to figure out if I should self relax or go to the salon! There are pro's and con's in both....but I have a little time to think about this.

Scalp Massages
See post here: Vibrating Scalp Massager
Well, it kind of died on me haha. I used to carry it in my purse, without a case or anything and use it on my way to work..or on my way home and now it no longer works :-(. Guess I got my monies worth. haha
Well now I'm going to massge my scalp kind of the old fashion way.
I use this now:
Product Features:
Stimulates the scalp
Creates the unltimate relaxing experience
Promotes hair growth
Fits in the plam of your hand
They sell this for like 89 Cents at CVS, Walgreens but I got mine at Sally Beauty Supply.
I massage my scalp probably every other day for about 5 minutes.
Reminder on the benefits:
Benefits-One of the most beneficial aspects of a scalp massage is that is will increase the circulation in the scalp area. This will help the hair follicles become receptive to the nutrients and oxygen they need for maximum health.
Effects-By increasing blood flow to the hair follicle, hair is less likely to go into the resting phase prematurely. After hair goes into the resting phase, it is shed so that new hair can begin to take its place. But if hair prematurely enters the resting phase, there could be an abundance of hair being shed at one time, which will give the appearance of thinning hair.
Cheap Yet Effective
Here's a little more info:
•Great for chemically treated hair
•Leaves hair soft and restored to a natural state
•No petroleums
•Easy to apply
Le Kair Cholesterol Plus Strengthening and Conditioning Cream strengthens, deep conditions and rejuvenates your hair and is enriched with cholesterol, Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera and collagen. Treats split ends, dry brittle hair and chemically processed hair. Ideal for chemically treated
First shampoo thoroughly. Rinse thoroughly and apply a generous amount of Cholesterol Plus Strengthening & Conditioning Cream to palm of hands. Massage thoroughly into hair and leave on hair for two minutes and rinse thoroughly. Repeat this conditioning process a second time, rinse hair thoroughly and towel dry
Ingredients: Deionized Water, Cetearly Alchohol & PEG 40, Castor Oil, Strearalkonium Chloride, Cetyl Akcohol, Mineral Oil, Fragance,Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben, Cholesterol,Hydrolyzed Collagen, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tocopheryl, Acetate(Vitamin E), Jojoba Oil, Citric Acid, FD&C, Red#4, Aloe, Vitamin A, Vitamin D
*Notice how there is mineral oil in the ingredients. This doesn't mean this is a bad product. Because it's a deep conditioner opposed to a moisturizer, it's not sitting on your hair..you are washing it out after 2 minutes. Plus it's a little down the ingredient list..and there are alot of great ingredients in this.
Price: $3.00 or less depending where you go, I got mine for like $2.19

Braid Out Comparison
Summer 09 (not sure what, I think late June)
Summer 2010 (July)
Braid-Out Attempt
Now, I have not touched a blow dryer or flat iron since April and I can honestly say..I was really tempted to last night. Then when I stepped foot in the venue and I was happy I didn't. Never been so hot in my LIFE!! I had to clip my hair up after like 20 minutes of being in there.
I ended up doing a braid-out, but it didn't come out that great because I didn't wait for it to dry.
I was running low on time so I had to skip the gym yesterday and opted for a light work-out out at my place.
I was debating whether I should co-wash my hair or not and because of the time constraint, I opted not to. I co-washed my hair Tuesday night, so I figured I was fine.
So here is what I did:
- Sprayed my hair with Distilled water
- Applied Hollywood Beauty Olive Creame Hair Dress ($3.00 Walgreens)
- Sealed with Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil with Ginseng ($2.00 Walgreens)
- Put four cornrows on the Left Side of my head
- Then put 4 braids on the left side and 5 on the right
- Placed Silk rollers on the bottom of each braid
- Let it sit for about an hour and a half
- Then unbraided
Anyway..here are some pics.....(I have a strapless dress on..so NO..I am not naked..haha)
In order for a braid-out to come out looking nice....it HAS to be Completely Dry! Thank goodness my hair didn't stay down for too long!

A creamy, mostly water based product that are used to hold moisture in the hair.
Why water based? Other non-water based moisturizers are heavy. Water based moisturizers are light which is great for your hair.
When to use Moisturizer: When ever hair is feeling dry. I usually moisturize my hair in the AM only because I condition wash almost every night. If I don't, then I moisturize twice a day.
How to Moisturize: To get the maximum benefits, I suggest moisturizing in sections. Part hair then apply the moisturizer to roots and concentrate especially on the ends. Some just moisturize the whole length of the hair.
Then to seal in the moisture, you should use an oil(coconut, sweet almond, grapeseed oil, or even mixed oils you would find in you local beauty supply store)
What ingredients to avoid when looking for a Good Moisturizer: Mineral Oil, Petroleum/Petrolatum. These do not moisturize the hair and just sit on the hair. Not penetrating the hair shaft where the moisture really needs to be. GREASE DOES NOT MOISTURIZE HAIR
Example of a Good Ingredient List (this is for the Bio-Infusion)-
Water - Aqua , Soybean Oil - Glycine Soja , Coconut Oil - Cocos Nucifera , Propylene Glycol , Fragrance - Parfum , Olive Oil - Olea Europaea , Steareth-2 , Jojoba Oil - Buxus Chinensis , Steareth-20 , Dimethicone , Lanolin Oil , Polyquaternium-37 , Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate , PPG-1 Trideceth-6 , DMDM Hydantoin , Hydrolyzed Oat Protein , Propylparaben , Methylparaben , BHA , BHT , Bee Balm Extract - Monarda Didyma , Carrot Extract - Ducus Carota Sativa , Sunflower Seed Extract - Helianthus Annuus , Wheat Extract - Triticum Vulgare , Blue 1 - CI 42090 , Yellow 5 - CI 19140
My Fav Moisturizers-
Cantu Shea-Butter (this has some protein in it, so if your protein sensitive try out the others)
Bioinfusion Olive Oil
Hawaiin Silky 14 n 1
Hollywood Beauty Olive Creme Hair Dress
How to FInd a Good Moisturizer for Relaxed and Natural Hair Article
* Because I can't buy any products until I really need them, I am using up what I have. I ran out of Bioinfusion so I mixed up some 100% Raw Shea Butter, Glycerin and Aloe Vera Juice...and I have been using that as a moisturizer. I then seal in the moisture with some Almond Oil.

Bantu Knots- Total Fail
Since I'm working out, bunning is probably the smartest way to go.

16 Weeks Post Relaxer
It's been exactly 4 months since I had my last relaxer and I think I'm going to be a long term relaxer stretcher for life. I have learned the most important factor in avoiding breakage is MOISTURE. Keeping the newgrowth constantly moisturized has. prevented breakage big time.
I tried some bantu knots the other night but they didn't come as cute as I wished. I'm going to do them again and hopefully I'll have better pics for ya'll.

African American Hair Care Myths
I saw this on http://www.sizta2sizta.com/ and wanted to share this with my readers. Many people have misconceptions about black hair care. To me, knowledge is key. The same way I would study for school, research a new place to live, research new ways to improve my job performance...is the same way I research hair care. Don't believe everything you hear/read...even from me...research it and you will sure find out if it's the truth or not
Pink= Notes by Ms. D
Myths about black hair care
Myth # 1 - Black women can't grow long hair.
That is simply not true! All hair including African American hair grows on average of 1/2 inch per month.
I have seen soooo many women with my hair texture (4B/4C- Very kinky) with bra-strap or longer hair on forums such as www.longhaircareforum.com, www.forum.blackhairmedia.com and even in my family(mom, aunts and cousins). It is possible for us to grow long hair! It just takes finding the right products, regimen and knowledge to get us there. While some people just "got it" and have had long hair all their life...for those who haven't..it's time to make some changes to get you to that point.
Myth # 2 - There are pills and greases that can grow hair.
Although there are many different vitamins & minerals that can add great benefits to the health of your hair "there is no such thing as a magic pill or potion for hair growth."
Vitamins help aid in growth, but just because its growing doesn't mean it's healthy. As said before it takes more then just taking vitamins and using a certain product to grow healthy hair..
Myth # 3 - cutting your hair every six weeks or keeping your ends trimmed makes your hair grow
Ladies, although this is what we've been taught it's not true. I personally put this to the test by not clipping my hair for a year and my hair grew!
If the ends are healthy and not split..to keep a straight edge look only a minor dust(1/4 inch or less) is needed.
Myth # 4 - If you don't cut your hair or keep your ends trimmed they will split all the way up you hair shaft and break off.
Again, not true. In fact when hair splits it's on an angle it can't split evenly all the way up to the scalp. I also tested this theory by not clipping my ends for a year and when I had the hair dresser clip my ends she stated" your ends look great, I don't see any split ends."
If you do have split ends though.....cut them! I don't see why people would hang on to them..there are ways to cut off the split ends with out losing much length..(I will do a post on that soon)
Also the poster probably didn't have split ends because she reduced heat usage, stayed in protective styles and moisturized her ends daily
Myths # 5 - Black women with good hair, curly or fine hair have a better chance at growing their hair longer than someone with bad hair.
There is no such thing as good hair/bad hair! All hair is good hair! Ladies how long are we going to perpetuate this stereotype handing it down generation after generation to our little girls?
How to Get Your Dream Job: YBP Interview Checklist
A few of the tips:
Portfolio: This may seem obvious, but I've seen too many well dressed job candidates come to an interview without one in their hands. While a briefcase is too formal for most settings, a portfolio adds elegance and utility.
Pen: This is another somewhat obvious item, but a pen signifies that you're ready to learn from the interview as well as contribute to it.
Research: Use that pen and portfolio before you get to the interview location to write down what you've learned about the company and two or three well thought out questions when the interviewer inevitably asks, "Do you have any questions for me?".
Watch: Unless you're interviewing with a startup, wearing a watch gives off the image that you care about time and will be a punctual employee. Of course, this effect is negated if you show up late to the interview.

It's 2010 and this STILL Happens?
Excerpt from Article:
A New Jersey man from the West African nation of Togo is behind bars after forcing at least 20 women to work without pay in hair braiding salons. According to the Associated Press, 47-year-old Lassissi Afolabi, a citizen of the Togolese Republic, was sentenced to more than 24 years in prison after he admitted to smuggling Togolese women and girls into the U.S. from 2002 through 2007 and making the young women, in effect, modern day slaves at hair salons throughout Newark and East Orange, NJ.
I continue to pray everyday for those less fortunate then us. I pray they have strength to get through the hard times..and I have hope that better days will come.
If you think that your life is bad right now.....read/watch the news and see what others in the world have to live and deal with....
Thanks sis for passing this on

Serena Williams
I used to get offended when people said I looked like Serena,..lol..sorry, I don't know why..maybe that was just my immaturity.But in this picture of her....I would def take that as a compliment!
Go Serena! Looking good girl...and the hair...the hair is on point! :-)
Exercising and Hair Growth
Who knew that exercising also helped with Hair Growth!
Now that's my motivation to keep me in the gym!
There are many articles on why exercising is good for hair growth, you can do a quick search on google. But here's a little excerpt I got from beaty.makeuptips.com
People understand that exercise is more than just moving up and down and running a mile it does things for your heart and other parts of your body. More people are starting to find out the benefits it has for the scalp and growing hair. One of the things that has been learned for the longest time is usually the main reason behind no hair growth is because something is usually blocking it. Blood flow has been found to be one of those problems. Exercise helps release this block area and release new nutrients that could start new hair growth. This is why more people are turning to exercise to help their hair loss and finding some very good results with it.
Combine the exercise with a good balance diet and you may just have a recipe for good long term hair growth. You never really know until you give it a try.

Regimen Revised
I also started working out(yay). I was doing it at home for a few weeks faithfully and now that I see I am committed to this, I got a membership to the gym and will be going there M-F. and every other Saturday.
Now that I work out, I have to co-wash my hair after every work-out to remove the sweat which can cause dryness to the hair.
So here's my Regimen:
Monday- Shampoo, Condition(moisture or 3 min mild protein reconstructer), Rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar/Water, apply leav-ins, seal
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and every other Saturday- Co-Wash, apply leav-in's, moisturize, seal,
Thursday- Co-Wash, Coffee or Black Tea Rinse, Deep Condition(Moisture), leave-ins, moisturize, seal
Sunday is my day of rest :-) - I will just moisturize and seal.
I will be bunning/ clipping my hair upMonday- Friday
Braid-outs or other Styles on Saturdays & Sundays
I always Airdry in braids with a satin roller on the ends
I only moisturize once a day now because I will be co-washing very often
I detangle my hair almost everyday when 80% airdried to keep my hair from matting, knotting, and being all tangled up. So far this has worked for me.
Henna once a month
Relax every 5-6 months (hopefully only twice a year now)

It's HOT and your Hair Could be Hurting!
This hot weather can be good and bad for hair.
The Good: Most peoples hair grows faster in the summer. I guess the heat triggers some kind of growth spurt. It happens to me and it probably happens to you.
The Bad: Your hair can get extra dry because of the heat which can ultimately cause breakage.
5 Tips for Summer Hair
Drink plenty of Water- Not only does this prevent dehydration, but it will help keep moisture in your hair.
Water is also the ultimate moisturizer: Carry around a spray bottle with water in it and if your hair feels dry..just spray a little on it.
Give straight hair styles a break- First off, in order to get the straight style this will require heat.You don't need all that extra heat on your hair in summer! Once you step outside it will frizz right up anyway, right? I would save the straight hair for special occasions and always apply some type of serum to protect the hair from the sun.
Deep Condition once a Week: Your hair will thank you for this. You need as much moisture as possible. This will help strengthen hair and keep hair very soft
Try Glycerin Based Products: Products such as Care Free Gold, S-Curl and Hawaiian Silky are perfect for this kind of weather. They help draw moisture to your hair and will keep the hair very moisturized throughout the day.
Explore No-Heat Hair Styles: Other than braids and cornrows..why not try cute buns, braid-outs, twist-outs, roller sets, bantu-knots, cute up-do's...there's so much to do...and you won't have to worry about crazy frizzy hair at the end of the day
* You can also wear a cute sun-hat when going out-doors which provide ultimate protection from the heat.

Want Darker Hair?
I have not tried this yet, but best believe when I take these braids out...I will be doing this coffee rinse.
Simple Coffee Rinse:
Brew 2-4 cups of espresso or strong coffee. Allow it to cool.
Use one of the following methods:
1. Pour coffee over your hair after you shampoo and condition. Leave it in as you dry and style your hair.
2. Pour over dry hair. Leave on thirty minutes and then shampoo out.
3. Pour over your hair after you shampoo and condition. Leave it in while you finish the rest of your shower. Then gently rinse.
4. Shampoo your hair. Pour coffee over your hair and wait 20 minutes. Rinse the coffee out of your hair with beer or apple cider vinegar to seal in the color. Then rinse your hair with lukewarm water.
5. Shampoo your hair and rinse thoroughly and allow your hair to dry. Apply the coffee with a spray bottle and gently comb through. Allow coffee to remain in your hair for twenty minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.
NOTE: You may also use black tea for chestnut highlights. Brew 2 cups of tea using 6 to 8 tea bags.
NOTES on Coffee Rinses!
*The exact amount of coffee to use depends on the length and thickness of your hair, but 2-4 cups is usually recommended.
*Do not use instant coffee since it may contain additives that can damage your hair.
*Be sure the coffee is not hot. Since your scalp is much more sensitive to temperature than your hands, if the coffee feels hot to your finger, it will feel even hotter on your head.
*Do not use this on very light or bleached hair since coffee will stain porous or light hair.
*Coffee can also stain your towels and other equipment.
*Natural colorants will help you to take better care of your hair

Carbs burn fat – Carbohydrates, foods that contain simple sugars (short chains of sugar molecules) or starches (long chains of sugar molecules), have been blamed for our epidemic of obesity and diabetes.
This is only partially true, because there are both good and bad carbohydrates.
– The good carbs contain the important vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are essential to our health and that help prevent heart disease and cancer.
– The bad carbs, which have been consumed by Americans in unprecedented quantities (largely in an attempt to avoids fats), are the ones that have resulted in the fattening of America. Bad carbs are refined carbs, the ones where digestion has begun in factories instead of in our stomachs.
The good carbs are the ones humans were designed to consume-the unrefined ones that have contributed to our health since we began eating! Unrefined carbohydrates are found in whole, natural foods, such as whole grains, legumes, rice, and starchy vegetables. They're also called complex carbohydrates, named for their molecular structure. Besides being packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, good carbs take longer to digest – a good thing.
Refined carbohydrates, on the other hand, are found in packaged, processed foods, such as store-bought baked goods, crackers, pasta, and white bread. Refined carbohydrates are made with white flour and contain little or no fiber. In fact, many products made with white flour are advertised as fortified with vitamins and minerals, because the process of turning grain into white flour strips away its fiber and nutrients. One of our rules is to avoid foods labeled as "fortified." Current evidence is that fortification with vitamins does not recreate the benefits of the natural vitamins that have been removed.
Despite the fact that good carbs are a critical part of a healthy diet, the typical American diet is filled with the bad kinds. And when we're overweight as a result of a diet laden with bad carbs, our bodies' ability to process all carbohydrates goes awry.
Ounce for ounce, these foods provide the same amount of energy as protein, yet have fewer than half the calories of fat. For every gram of carbohydrate or protein you eat, you get about 4 calories of energy, a considerable savings over the 9 calories you get from fats.
1 gram of carbohydrate = approximately 4.5 calories of energy
1 gram of protein = approximately 4 calories of energy
1 gram of fat = approximately 9 calories of energy.
Carbohydrates are the ideal fat-burning foods. Because complex carbohydrates break down slowly into glucose (blood sugar)-a main source of energy-they are like high-octane, clean-burning fuel for your body.
Scientists have many theories about why complex carbohydrates have such a magical effect on our weight. One theory is that fat consumption changes your body chemistry to slow down your metabolism. Another theory is that fatty foods somehow interfere with your body's ability to use its fat stores for energy.
Still another theory is that when you eat complex carbohydrates, you tend to eat enough calories to provide the energy you need. When you eat fatty foods, on the other hand, you are eating for pleasure, rather than for energy. Eating chocolate cake for no other reason than because it tastes good has nothing to do with hunger or your energy requirements.
Other research by Dr. Michael Levitt at Minneapolis Veterans Administration Hospital has shown that up to one?third of the calories in starchy foods are not absorbed by the human body. He suggests that bacteria in the gut "digest" them and eliminate them as gas.
Doctors from Stanford University School of Medicine found that complex carbohydrates appear to lose up to one quarter of their calories while being digested.
Fat, on the other hand, loses only 3 percent of its calories as it moves through your body (and settles on your waist).
Fat metabolism is regulated by HGH human growth hormone and as we age HGH levels decline. By adding a quality HGH supplement into your daily regime you can raise the HGH levels naturally.
