"Good care for wrist fracture, but more support needed"
About: John Radcliffe Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics John Radcliffe Hospital Trauma and orthopaedics OX3 9DU
Posted by Bernardthebear (as ),
In February, I was knocked off my bike and sustained a fracture to my wrist. The ambulance attended and took me to the John Radcliffe A+E. Fortunately, it was early in the morning and the minor injuries unit was virtually deserted so I was quickly sent for an X-ray. The care I received in A+E was mainly excellent and three doctors gave me some anaesthetic and then put my arm in traction to put the wrist back into shape. It was quite a nasty fracture and they were fully expecting that I would need an operation, however their skill in doing this manoeuvre meant that I avoided an operation.
However, I am also being treated by the Community Mental Health Team for anxiety and depression. I repeatedly told staff about this from my arrival on the unit, and asked for some lorazepam to help me deal with what was a very distressing situation (and which I have on hand to take at home, just didn't have with me as I had been cycling to the swimming pool!). Eventually the staff got me some diazepam (after about an hour) but in such a small dose that it made no difference at all. It was not until I was given a further dose that it had any effect.
My experience of the follow up appointments in the Trauma unit had some room for improvement. There is no question that the staff are very busy and that the clinic is routinely overbooked. However, it might be better managed. When you arrive, you are given an indication of the "wait" on a television screen. On the four times that I attended, this was never less than an hour. In fact, it seemed that you had to add at least half an hour onto whatever the screen said. What was frustrating was there was no sense of where you were in the wait, which made it impossible to go outside for some fresh air or even to go to the toilet if you had gone on your own for fear of missing your name being called out. It would be nice if they introduced a system of ticket numbers, so you could see if you were about to be called and so should stay in the waiting room or if you had time to pop to the loo or to get a drink.
Although the consultants are clearly expert in broken bones, I felt that they lacked a holistic approach. At no time did anyone ask me how I was coping with a broken wrist (quite badly in fact, as I was unable to do the usual sporting activities, which help me to cope with my mental illness), and even though I was obviously anxious and tearful (not helped by the extremely long wait and the continued uncertainty as to how long I would be in a cast and whether or not I would need an operation) this was mostly ignored by the staff. There was also insufficient advice given about when it would be appropriate to return to work.
On the other hand, the nurses in the plaster room were exceptional and really took the time to put you at your ease, recognising that I was not coping very well. I was re-plastered twice, and had the cast from A+E over-plastered too, and each time they explained what they were going to do, made a bit of small talk to try to distract me and even found some glitter to put on my cast.
When I came out of plaster in April, the cast was removed at 3 pm and promised physiotherapy before I left. However, by the time I had waited, and the doctor had to send me for an x-ray and had reviewed me again, it was after 5 pm and the physiotherapists had all gone home. I was told that someone would call me the following day to make an appointment for me. This did not happen. As I was very keen to be able to resume my sporting activities and start to drive again, I had to chase this, and fortunately the physiotherapy department were able to squeeze me in a few days later.
The care in the physiotherapy department has mostly been good, although my second physiotherapist has been more knowledgeable and helpful than the first. The department runs like clockwork and you are always seen within a minute of your appointment time. The staff, including the receptionist, go out of their way to be friendly. On my first visit, I was very anxious as I had never had physio before, and the department was extremely busy and noisy, however my therapist offered to treat me in a side room.

Infectious Diseases
CMV Questions?
I have donated blood for years and was told I do not carry a certain CMV virus and that my blood is valuable. I researched what CMV was and found that it can be transmitted through sexual contact, saliva and various other ways..My husband, who is also a valuable blood donor becuase of his universal blood type and myself are wondering if it is able to transmit like in the above ways, how is it I have not gotten the virus from him? Does this mean I have an antibody also? or does he perhaps not have the CMV, but if so, how come they don`t indicate it when he donates?
CMV or cytomegalovirus is a common virus in the world. It generally infects people as children. By adulthood, 50% or more of adults show antibodies to CMV. It usually causes people to feel sick like mononucleosis. A little fever, chills, sore throat, swollen glands and achiness. Many times it can appear like a `cold` in children. The most common way it is transmitted is through contact with saliva or other bodily fluids. Transmission via sexual contact is not the most common way it is transmitted. Children commonly pass it between each other. Once a person is infected they remain so for life. However, this does not mean that they are constantly producing CMV in their bodily fluids. In fact, most of the time people have antibodies but no viral replication. This means that they are not likely to pass CMV on to another person. So you test positive for antibodies but a culture of the blood, urine or saliva would likely be negative. This may explain why, if your husband is positive, that you have not gotten CMV from him. I cannot explain why the blood center would not tell your husband his CMV status. If you ask, I`m sure they will tell you. My best advice is to ask the blood center to send the results of yours and your husband`s CMV tests to your doctor who can go over the results with you.

It still surprises me in this day and age when I hear parents advocating corporal punishment as not only an option, but as THE way to train your kids. In a recent conversation I had at a social gathering, a parent of older children (late teens) was advocating these means as the ultimate form of parenting. Now, don't get me wrong, from the sound of it on the surface, her kids seem to have turned out just fine – ivy league candidates even, but at what cost to their individual psyche?
I found myself speaking up for more peaceful approaches and at first feeling like I was seen as that parent who somehow doesn't "parent" because I don't hit my kids, or pull their ear, or give them time outs even. What kind of parent am I if I am not teaching my child to obey. These kids, she insisted, are the ones that have difficulty in a job setting later in life. Well, I suppose if you want them to work as an administrative assistant all their lives and not assert themselves to become leaders in their chosen profession, that not teaching them to submit might be an issue.
At school I find sometimes a similar mentality of you must "listen to the teacher" or else find yourself in time-out. I recently had a teacher tell me that I should teach my child to do what adults say, which is something I am not willing to teach her across the board. How many of us have succumbed to adults whose methods are less than reasonable or even abusive. I do not want my child to learn that she must obey adults at any cost, but I do want her to learn to function as a productive member of a community, realize the logic behind rules – or if the rules aren't logical work productively to change them for the better of everyone. I do not want her to stunt her growth by getting in line with others ideas of how she "should" be, but I do want her to learn to cooperate in a setting where there are lots of individuals all needing the same freedom to fulfill their best self. I do not want her to follow someone else's lead all the time, but learn to work cooperatively with others – to follow sometimes and lead sometimes and be her own person, standing up to others when it doesn't jive with her values, yet doing so in a kind and respectful manner to others. These are the traits that will make her the best being she can be throughout her life and allow her the freedom to resist peer pressure as a teen and to excel as an adult and ultimately to self-actualize fully without constraints.
I have been truly blessed to be a part of a community where mindful peaceful parenting prevails and there is a collective of parents who understand that raising our kids to be self-assured productive beings involves some give and take and allowing them to express their feelings and independence and trying to work through the rough spots with humility and grace. Parents are not always right. Nobody is. We do not need to be in control 100 percent of the time. We need to let our kids lead sometimes if they are going to learn to be leaders. Does this make parenting harder – sometimes and certainly at the early stages, but in the long term it develops strong parent-child bond and a relationship that makes parenting easier over the course of time. It is not a given that we will lose our kids as teenagers if we have built our relationship on mutual respect. Terrible twos and rebellious teens come from a place of asserting independence if they have not had an opportunity to do so over the course of time. Building that ability into the nurturing of our children provides for an ongoing outlet for their positive growth to become functional productive kids in their own rite.
Now, thankfully, this conversation took a turn towards interest in a more positive approach – not so much from the parent who had already done her thing and raised her kids with an iron fist – but thankfully from the parents of the younger kids who seemed genuinely interested in alternatives to what we learned from our parents as kids or what some mainstream parenting handbooks tell us – using behavioral manipulation, rewards and punishments, time outs to get our kids to obey – which ultimately lead to power struggles and miserable kids and parents spinning in confusion and emotion. There is a better way! It also helped that I have lived this way with the support of a larger community (I LOVE Takoma Park!!) and seen how it can benefit families and create self-assured happy kids. It helped that I am not making this up, there are many books and lots of families who have used similar methods allowing their children varying degrees of "permissiveness" or freedom to express their needs, feelings, and individuality. For those who have asked for some resources here are a few of many:
Some of the gurus of alternative methods include Alfie Kohn and Rudolf Dreikurs – these are not new, but rather have been around for decades. Some titles include -
Beyond Discipline – From Compliance to Community by Alfie Kohn (or any other publication by this author including Unconditional Parenting)
Children: The Challenge by Rudolf Dreikurs (and anything by him including title below)
The New Approach to Discipline – Logical Consequences – A practical guide to instilling Good Behavior in your child – from toddler to adolescent by Dreikurs (note: this is actually not a "new" approach as it was copyrighted in 1968:) It is a tried and tested apporach that has been utilized in modern parenting publications - see positive discipline below)
Other newer publications that build on the same themes:
Respectful Parents, Respectful Kids (a handbook for non-violent communication)
Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves by Naomi Aldort (This is my personal FAVORITE!)
Raising Happiness – 10 Simple Steps for more joyful kids and happier parents by Christine Carter (a new publication that has steps to transform your home dynamic)
And last, but certainly not least is the whole line of books about Positive Discipline (handbooks built on the Dreikurs approach which cover different ages and settings) - there is one for pre-schoolers, teens, for teachers to use in the classroom, etc. They are practical and simple to implement and are a great balance between parental control and kid's ability to make choices.
These are a bunch of tools for your tool-box. As always I will say - there is a method out there that resonates with the parent you want to be - the first step is mindfully deciding what kind of parent it is that you want to be and seeking out the tools to implement it. Read, choose, and be happy with your choices. Chidren grow up fast and now is our opportunity to be a productive part of that growth. Happy Parenting!!

Ghost Village
Sometimes I feel as though my village has failed me. Then I think "What village?" We as a society have moved so far beyond the village model it is impossible to think that there is any real support network. Not only have we moved beyond it, we have dismantled it purposely little by little. My research is theoretical at best, but look at the history of our communities. Should we go back as far as cavemen? Who perhaps lived a similar existence as we do now? Small family groups living each to a cave, fighting for their every morsel, attacking anyone who dare come near their territory or threatened their survival. Just as I write this I think maybe we have come full circle. We now live in our little shoe-boxes making a home for ourselves, sometimes taking it to an entirely over-the-top level of collecting toys and gadgets and shiny cars. We pull up to in the trophies we have hunted and gathered and attack anyone who tries to steal our parking spots. Our elected representatives argue for policy that will safeguard our right to continue our extravagant lifestyles. But, I digress…. This was not meant to be a political post. But you get my drift from this on-the-spot realization that as a society we have slowly returned to caveman societal structure, which is really only magnified by modern amenities that render the help of friends and neighbors un-necessary.
So, eventually perhaps the cave-people realized it might be just easier to make friends with their neighbors and hunt together, cook together, raise our children together. Perhaps this is where social interaction began to be positively rewarded when beings smiled at each-other feeling the burden lifted from their shoulders to do it all alone while they also had to guard against the outside world. Now take a deep breath and Ohm for a minute and then look at the tribal structure of several families living together, perhaps in separate structures but in a circle amongst a community that hunts and cooks together, sharing their catch and caring for each other's children. Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, cousins of many ages surround each other with knowledge, experience and without even having a name for it, support. No one had to ask for help, it was just intrinsic in the tribal structure. That is what we have lost. Perhaps our young might have longed for it and attempted to re-create it in the hippy era of communal living and some have succeeded in maintaining it, but it is not the mainstream norm. Somewhere along the timeline striving for independence and prosperity somehow became an honored existence. "Single Family" homes are the norm, most of which are built in subdivisions outside the city with little need to rely on neighbors for other than social interaction, if that. The "me" generation made it a way of life and perfected the self-gratification equals prosperity=success mentality. We have arrived. But are we there? Are we happy?
We long for more: More connectivity; more time to spend with those we love.
We long for less: less burden to do it all on our own; less stress to join the rat race in order to pay our bills and save the astronomical figures it will take to educate our children so they can join the same rat race to educate their children, who they will rarely actually interact with on any quality level because they are too busy providing for them.
Our economy is trying to tell us something folks. We shouldn't be bailing out the banks and insurance companies and certainly not the makers of our shiny trophies, we should be looking at the way we live and simplifying it to a more manageable level. Ok, so that might border on political – but the social structure we have designed takes a well-oiled machine and lots of fuel to up-hold and the cogs are getting rusty and the oil, well that's a political conversation for another day!

Time Warp
Yup. It happened again. Time flew. One minute we were enjoying the throws of summer and all it had to offer and now, here we are in the depths of winter. It musn't be too deep, though, because the crocuses are popping up their heads in my front yard. Unlike the groundhog, however, they do not have the sense or ability to go back down into the ground for another several weeks. My head, apparently, has been buried in the rhythms of motherhood / life - sometimes grooving, sometimes cacophony in my ears. It has been anywhere but my blog. So sorry, folks. I'll be back like your favorite tv shows shortly. Right after I get my holiday cards done :)

What's in your Purse?
You can tell a lot about someone by what is in their purse. Not the planned contents like wallet, cell phone, and keys but the things that gather there along the way surreptitiously. Recently I was entering a government building here in our Nation's Capital and as protocol slipped my bag into the x-ray machine. On the other side the guard retrieved it and rifled through it looking for something he found suspicious. After rummaging through plastic toads, receipts and coupons, barrettes and a plastic heart ring, a small bag of oyster crackers left over from a bowl of New England clam chowder, a ticket stub to the only Show I've been to in years, eye-drops and allergy meds, crayons and a super-ball, loose change and dinner mints, and more, the guard declared, "There's too much shit in your purse".
Yup. That pretty much sums it up. There is too much shit in my purse, proverbial and otherwise. My life is cluttered. Cluttered with a routine that is hard to keep up with and an activity schedule that leaves us spinning. Cluttered with stuff – toys that rarely get played with yet always seem to end up in the middle of the floor and clothes that keep arising from the good-will bag for a second chance. Cluttered with a To-do list that is becoming comical and no "honey"-to-do them. Cluttered with the things that interrupt any progress on the to-do list like: the dog jumping the fence and and all that it entails to spring him from the pound; the refrigerator/freezer deciding to quit on Memorial Day weekend and the subsequent struggle to get magic chef to honor their warranty; a rock cracking the windshield and negotiating insurance and replacement, etc, etc, etc. It's enough to make a girl go mad! So, empty your purses Ladies!! Right now, dump them and simplify, simplify, simplify. We'll feel better for it.
P.S. When I posted the guard's comment on my facebook page I got such a resounding response from women friend's who giggled in recognition, I just had to blog about this. One even suggested I start a Facebook Group. So, dump your purse, itemize and post your contents on "Too much Shit in your Purse" on Facebook Groups!

Go, You Mudhens!
When I played softball in High School, most of our team had around a .600 batting average, so the old adage "you hit (or throw) like a girl" was actually a big compliment! We were good… and we had a lot of fun. Our coach was one of the player's Dads, Mr McEvoy and would chuckle to himself as we danced around in the outfield to the tunes playing out of the dorm windows. That was a long time ago. Tonight I met up with the S.O.M.E. Mudhens, a local co-ed team that has lasted over the last few decades. I started playing with them just before their 10th year anniversary – a fun group with lots of good energy. Grad school took me away to NYC and when I moved back it took me a while to meet up with them again – this time for the 20th anniversary. Tom Taylor, the coach, used to joke with me that I only came back for the 10 year patch. Well, here I am again after having moved to the islands and come back and been rearing my child and ran into them again only to be recruited just before, you guessed it, the 30th anniversary! The team still has the same good energy, just a little less of it with age, but the same good spirit anyway. My glove was a bit moldy and my legs even rustier, but it was fun to be out in the field again as my 3 year old cheered me on from behind home plate. I even managed a few hits. My legs screamed in shock as I rounded the bases. I used to be frustrated when they stuck me in Right field (because I really could play and catching was my specialty), but tonight I was pretty comfortable there especially since the short fielder was pretty close at hand. He fielded a few as I watched on. But all in all, it was great to be back in the game – even though now I really do hit "like a girl" and as for throwing… I didn't even get a chance to! But the adrenaline was flowing and the sounds of the bat hitting ball and the thrill of the plays was enough to make me go back for more. Thanks, You MudHens!

Who's the Boss?
My current boss is the most challenging boss I have ever had. Although I once had a boss that actually threw temper tantrums and hurled office materials across the room, she was tame compared to my current boss. From the start to finish of the day she is non-stop demands. She'll assign me a project and then change her mind completely and want me to work on something else entirely. She is constantly harassing me and moving up deadlines to suit her demanding needs. Even when I think I have exceeded her expectations, she will completely take my efforts for granted with very little gratitude or affirmation of my achievements. She gives me guilt trips when I take time off and complains if I take breaks. If I can't meet her high expectations, watch out – her wrath ensues. But at the end of the day, she looks up at me with her big hazel eyes, gives me a hug and a kiss and says "I love you, Mommy" and it all seems worth it. Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there with the most demanding bosses they've ever had!

Our Spring Moose
I have decided that holiday decorations aren't just for winter anymore! Really, does a moose go into hibernation in the Spring? Certainly not. I did get around to finally taking down the wreaths and lights, but I just couldn't bring myself to take down the moose. Besides, my dog has befriended her. I still never understand the folks who get their holiday decorations up too early and then take them down the week after Christmas! I have always thought of decorations as a celebration of Winter – they go up after Thanksgiving and stay up until the last snow. Until now. Now I've decided to let them linger even longer. My mantel is still adorned with Nutcrackers and holiday cards. My 3 year old protested the removal of her newest heroes after seeing the ballet and falling in love with the sugar plum fairy scene. And besides, how many times do I get pictures of all the people we love and think about throughout the year – if you sent me a photo, chances are it is still on my mantle and we are still enjoying it. Maybe we'll just wait and take them down one by one next year when we get their updated replacements!

Who's on First?
Today we spent the evening at the emergency room, which I realized too late was more for my child's amusement than was medically necessary. Fortunately, it was a waste of time and money. Anyway, when we got home she wanted to play "Doctor" so she handed me a green plastic work glove and said "Mommy, you be the Doctor". I said "Ok" and donned the glove.
She was the patient (and the Director) and went to the waiting room to "exercise" until I called her. (Don't ask me why, it's her show…).
So, I called her and began the same inquiry you hear at the Doctor's office or ER:
Doctor (Mommy): So, what brings you here today?
Patient (3 yr old): The bus.
Mommy (Doctor), completely breaking character: Laughs hysterically, then tries to rein herself in and resume her role….: "Ok, so why did you take the bus here today?"
Impatient Patient: (she replies as if that was a silly question) "Because I DON'T have a CAR!"
I felt like I was in a vaudeville routine! I love being a Mommy!

The Motherhood Tri-athalon
Motherhood is like running a Tri-athalon – every day. An abundance of energy exudes from little bodies like there is not enough body mass to actually soak it up. Mommy's larger than before body, on the other hand soaks it up quite readily until it is feeling quite parched for more. Yet the kids keep on running and are ready for the next event!
Today my 3 year old and I ran a marathon of activities. We started in the morning with a drive to Haines Point to enjoy the cherry blossoms with a bunch of Moms and about a dozen kids. We did Arts and Crafts, ran, flew a kite (or the kite flew itself – it was quite windy), romped around on the playground, played with the dog, and romped and ran some more. A few hours later, it seemed a good time to go home for a nap (more for Mommy than child). But, she had other plans. She wanted to stop off at the Horse Stables. "Ok, Just for a few minutes", Mommy said. We pulled in and went to visit the horses.
It was over 3 hours later when we emerged from horse patting, piggy-back riding, exploring the trails with our big red dog, collecting rocks for our rock garden, exploring the nature center's turtles (where we ran into a neighbor and friend to play with for the following activities), dancing on the stage, making raccoon footprints in the sand, gazing at bees in the indoor hive, examining a leaf in a microscope, gazing at stars in the planetarium, and yet another trip to pet the horses. Only then did I finally convince my daughter to return to the car to head home for dinner. I strapped her in her car seat and gave her a snack for the ride home. On the lap around the car from her door to mine, I took a deep breath and enjoyed the moment of silence... Ahhhhh. As I got back in the car and put the key in the ignition I heard my daughter ask from the back seat, "Mommy, what are we going to do today?"

New official figures show that the British economy has grown more strongly than previously thought since 2010.
The figures, from the Office for National Statistics, show that Gross National Product has grown by 8% since the General Election, higher than last month's estimate of 7%. They reveal that GDP actually recovered to its pre-recession peak last autumn, and is now 2.7% above it.
The UK's economy has grown by 3.2% in the last year – more than any other country in the G7.
Duncan said:
"When the Liberal Democrats took the decision to form a Coalition Government in 2010, we had the slowest-growing economy in the G7 and more than 1,500 people here in the Chippenham constituency were out of work and claiming Jobseeker's Allowance.
"In Government, we have made big investments in manufacturing, green energy, railways and roads, and I'm glad that they've helped turned our economy around.
"We now have the fastest-growing economy in the G7, and the Lib Dems have helped businesses create 2 million new jobs and 1.8 million apprenticeships. As a result, the number of local Jobseekers has almost halved."

If it's private nobody will see your pictures unless they are following you. Anyway after that it will ask you if you want to follow this user. If you want to log out of it and you want to get back on it then before you log out you have to VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT or you will lose it forever. And then you will have to make another one. And that's going to be frustrating.
They're so many people to follow. If it's your classmates, strangers and even family members. If you want to find the person so you can follow them and you don't know their user. Then just search up their first and last name. There might be a lot of options if you know who you want to follow then click it. If you want to get lots of follower then you can get an app called Get Followers on Instagram. It's doesn't matter who you follow. But you should be careful because there is always bad people or bad things on every social app. You know that everybody has an instagram because It's a popular app. So if you have 20 step it up a notch and get 50 followers.
The people you follow have pictures some people have good pictures sometimes bad pictures. You don't know what type of pictures there could be. But they mostly have funny pictures sometimes videos there is also pictures of yourself. Photos can lead to connections and connections lead to communication. Sometimes people report a photo if inappropriate and others. If you want people to see your pictures without following you then you don't put your account private. People put all sorts of pictures, like funny pictures wild,and even family picture and thoughtful too. Maybe there are out of this world, so go wild and put your picture.
Therefore "Getting more likes on social media makes you happier". As for the follower app, there is a like app to if you want to get a lot of likes. Sometimes if want to get a lot of likes without using the app or hashtags you can use this app. A hashtag on Instagram (or on Twitter) is the '#' symbol before a word or series of words (all run together without a space). The purpose of the hashtag is to categorize the images and make them searchable. Or if you want to likes with hashtags. then you have to post a picture and a friend or somebody will tag it and it will let you know who did it. If you want get more likes you can post pictures of dogs, cats, pictures of yourself or your family and even funny pictures and others, but those are the top 5 to get a lot of likes.
There is two side some people might like some people might. Which do you choice. There is lots of social media apps that but Instagram is one of them. You decide do you want to an instagram or not. Just make sure that you truly love. But it could get boring after a few weeks or day or even months. I dare you to get an instagram.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6345) Refactor Trash::moveToTrash() and its accompanying poor tests
|Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:20:40 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6345?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12777069#action_12777069 ] Matt Ahrens commented on HADOOP-6345: ------------------------------------- Path #3 needs clarification. Code currently returns false when client tries to remove a file in the trash. However, the FsShell class handles the false return value by proceeding to calling delete on the src (line 1152 in FsShell.java). So we need to decide what behavior should be when client tries to remove a file in the trash (path inputted is file in trash). Options: 1) Keep current behavior and let a client remove a path that is in the trash. (Keep path #3 as is to return false.) 2) Modify to throw an exception when client tries to remove a path that is in the trash. Any thoughts? > Refactor Trash::moveToTrash() and its accompanying poor tests > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6345 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6345 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Reporter: Jakob Homan > > We've had several issues relating to the Trash and its access via the shell, none of which were picked up by the unit tests. The current moveToTrash method has 8 different ways it can terminate and sometimes uses a false value and sometimes uses an exception to indicate failure.

Once you get past the thongs, the uniforms, and the sleek choreographed stripping dance routines -- admittedly, the main attraction of Magic Mike for most audiences -- it's just another day at the office for Steven Soderbergh
April 3, 2013
The sexy mischief and the darkness and the earnest character beats all fit together in one terrifically entertaining, perfectly pitched success.
March 14, 2013
Raucous, funny and disgracefully entertaining.

I never imagined that I would see The Full Monty re-envisioned by the Oscar winning director of Erin Brokovich and Traffic. But yup, here you have it: Steven Soderberg has created his stripping opus.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
September 14, 2012
Magic Mike is far from perfect, but that's the fun. Whether you think Soderbergh is winking at the audience or the movie is "so bad it's good," Magic Mike is one heck of a good time at the movies.
Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10
September 5, 2012
It's good to have another Soderbergh movie, and one that's completely different from anything he's done before. But beneath the magic, "Mike" is ultimately meh.

August 4, 2012
Reigning men on a physical, philosophical and psychological level, Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike also completes the transformation of Channing Tatum from mumbling toy-boy to thinking man's beefcake.

Run: 1969 - 1973
Host: Rod Serling
Horror-ific Series Highlight: The 1969 TV-movie pilot episode, which featured an evil Roddy McDowall vying against family butler Ossie Davis for his dead uncle's fortune -- all while a creepy painting on the wall was seemingly coming to life before our very eyes. Oh, Portifoy!
The Show: A beleaguered Rod Serling returned to television in the early 1970s after his Twilight Zone follow-up, the Western drama The Loner, was dropped after only one season in 1966. Serving once again as host (albeit a shaggier-looking one here when compared to on TZ) and a frequent scripter on Night Gallery, the show nonetheless was ultimately not Serling's product; creative and control clashes with the series' producers eventually led to his essentially dropping out and disowning the thing. And it shows, as many of the episodes are cheap and derivative, and too often delve into nonsensical humor segments. Still, the series did feature the directorial debut of none other than Steven Spielberg, and Serling was able to nail some truly solid scripts amid the chaos of the show -- particularly the Emmy-nominated (non-horror) episode "They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar," which in retrospect stands in many ways as the swan song of Serling's career.
Run: 1983 - 1988
Narrator: Paul Sparer
Horror-ific Series Highlight: "Sorry, Right Number," which was actually written by Stephen King for the show and features a woman who finds herself trapped in a tragic time paradox.
The Show: This syndicated '80s series actually relied on the old "negative image" effect to depict the "Darkside" in its opening credits, giving the viewer a good sense of just how cheaply made (and cheap looking) the show was. Riding on the success of Dawn of the Dead filmmaker George Romero's Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside featured the director and his then-partner Richard P. Rubinstein as executive producers, and truth be told the show benefited greatly from its low-rent, syndicated approach, airing late nights on non-network channels, perfectly situated to knock a 10-year-old kid for a scare-fest wallop -- payback for staying up past bedtime, one supposes. A movie version followed in 1990 starring Deborah Harry, Christian Slater, and Steve Buscemi, among others.
Run: 1985 - 1987
Host: None
Horror-ific Series Highlight: The Martin Scorsese-directed "Mirror, Mirror" just might get under your skin with its tale of a master of horror who learns that, actually, horror is his master.
The Show: Steven Spielberg had already demonstrated his interest in the anthology format with Twilight Zone: The Movie in 1983, so it should've been no surprise that he eventually launched his own TV series (or is that vanity project?) in the genre. Amazing Stories not surprisingly attracted a wide array of talent, from established names of the time like Scorsese, Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Paul Bartel (Death Race 2000) to and up-and-comers such as Brad Bird (The Incredibles). Typical of Spielberg, however, there was much less horror in these amazing stories than most fans of the form might've hoped for -- the filmmaker was heavily involved in the series, after all, as not just a producer but also a writer and director. The show only lasted two seasons anyway, which some might say was more than enough.
Run: 1988 - 1990
Host: Freddy Krueger (played by Robert Englund)
Horror-ific Series Highlight: "No More Mr. Nice Guy," directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), revisits Freddy's origin tale.
The Show: Capitalizing on the hero-like popularity of the slashers of the era, Freddy's Nightmares was a shoe-in to go to series. Starring, of course, Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, famed dream-dweller and teen-terrorizer of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, the show was based in Springwood, Ohio -- that's where Elm Street is, don't ya know? All manner of awful things would happen to each episode's batch of new characters, and while Freddy usually only served as a host on the show, it was often hinted that he was behind much of the evil that lurked in Springwood.Continues

Location: Children's Nutrition Research Center2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
It has now been convincingly demonstrated by human epidemiological investigations that the origins of many of the major chronic diseases that are manifest in adult life have their origins during development. Additionally, molecular, cellular and animal studies have now shown conclusively that interference with, or alteration of, developmental pathways during critical windows of development can provide the pathophysiological basis for the events that take place later in adult life. Our research attempts to answer the following: 1) differentiate the effects of fetal versus postnatal maternal dietary protein restriction on satellite cell accretion and skeletal muscle mass; 2) determine if impaired catch-up growth upon nutritional rehabilitation is due to aberrant epigenetic mechanisms intrinsic to the satellite cell and/or an absence of the extracellular cues necessary to sufficiently accelerate satellite cell division; 3) develop novel techniques to study amino acid metabolism in conscious mouse models, with special emphasis on hepatic and enteral metabolism; 4)determine the role of urea cycle intermediates in maintaining nitric oxide and ureagenesis during different physiological and pathophysiological conditions; 5) determine gene expression in human lactating mammary epithelium; 6) characterize inbred mouse strains for lactation performance, gene expression, and weight gain among offspring in lean and obese animals, making use of a cross-fostering design where appropriate; 7) study the effect of nutrients on mammary gland development and function in mouse models; define the critical window for effects on mammary gland development and function; 8) elucidate the role of vitamin A in vascular development and hematopoiesis using mouse embryos, in vitro assays, and complementary techniques; and 9) identify target genes downstream of retinoic acid signaling that are required for blood and blood vessel development.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
These research studies will use various techniques to accomplish the research to be undertaken. Establishing the critical window of development during which an inadequate nutrient supply permanently compromises the growth of the skeletal muscle and to understand the responsible mechanisms is of great importance. Research studies will focus on the satellite cell in animal models in order to understand how the nutrition of the fetus and infant has lifelong consequences for the health of the individual. Studies will take place on the role of amino acids in the urea cycle (crucial for nitric oxide synthesis), which is in demand for physiological (growth, pregnancy) and pathophysiological (trauma, sepsis) conditions. Lactation research will be conducted in mouse models to obtain an improved understanding of the genomic factors regulating mammary gland function that is central to providing therapeutic interventions that can aid women to establish and maintain a productive lactation. Since the abnormal formation of blood and blood vessels in adults is central to the progression of prevalent pathologies, including atherosclerosis, tumor angiogenesis, and anemia, researchers will develop an understanding of the cellular and molecular regulation of blood and blood vessel formation. Scientists will study retinoids in their role in the formation and maturation of blood vessels, as well as hematopoiesis, during embryonic development. Additionally, CNRC researchers will investigate, on a cellular and molecular level, the role of retinoid signaling in the regulation of these processes.
3. Progress Report:
Significant research progress was accomplished during the year. To review the progress, please refer to project 6250-51000-054-10S (Project 1), 6250-51000-054-20S (Project 2), and 6250-51000-054-30S (Project 3).
4. Accomplishments
1. Finding the genes to turn on lactation. A lack of knowledge exists on the human genes that are turned on in the mammary epithelium (cells) at the time of delivery that result in the synthesis of lactose, the primary factor responsible for determining milk volume. Scientists at the Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston, Texas, conducted studies using unique techniques of molecular biology to determine that the rate- limiting gene involved in the synthesis of lactose are the enzymes responsible for the formation of galactose and the induction of the prolactin receptor, which is a key hormonal factor in the initiation and sustaining of lactation in humans. By knowing the rate- limiting events in the process we may be able to create new therapies that might make the initiation of lactation more uniformly successful in the early hours after delivery. These findings could have an impact in humans and even into the induction of lactation in commercial animals.
2. variation exists for maternal nurturing ability in inbred mice. Although classical gene mapping approaches have identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) that may account for this variation, the underlying genes are unknown. Children's Nutrition Research Center researchers in Houston, Texas, performed a study in which lactation performance data was used to map genomic regions associated with this maternal nurturing variation. Our work identified up to 15 regions in the mouse genome containing 13 genes that were associated variations in maternal nurturing ability. Among the strongest candidate genes were a growth factor receptor, the epidermal growth factor receptor, a steroid hormone receptor, the mineralocorticoid receptor, and a GTP binding protein, Guanine nucleotide binding protein G(q). A comparison of these results with genomic variation in other species such as cows and humans would be expected to yield insights into the regulation of lactation in these species as well.
3. Hedgehog (Hh) signaling inhibits brown fat formation. Brown fat may have potential therapeutic benefits for preventing weight gain due to its function of burning calories to generate heat. Brown fat is formed during development under the control of a signaling network that is not yet well understood. By activating the Hh signaling pathway in developing brown fat tissue, Children's Nutrition Research Center researchers in Houston, Texas, discovered that high level of Hh signaling inhibits brown fat formation. Our studies, therefore, demonstrate a novel role for Hh signaling in the regulation of the brown fat cells.

Dare You To by Katie McGarry
Goodreads Summary : Ryan lowers his lips to my ear. "Dance with me, Beth."
"No." I whisper the reply. I hate him and I hate myself for wanting him to touch me again....
"I dare you..."
If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....
Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.
But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....
My Rating : 4 of 5 stars
My Thoughts : First it was a big, huge, round shaped, rainbow colored bubble, continuously inflating with expectation, and then…it deflated, breathing out the air of high expectation. Honestly, that's what happened to me.
Of course I liked the book, and it was one of the delightful read of 2013, but reconciling it with its successful ancestor, Pushing The Limits, this one was definitely a successful offspring, but somehow failed to bestow the expectation.
Remember Beth Risk, Noah's best friend, the girl with huge dislike for rest of the world? Yes, she returns with her fierce attitude in this sequel as protagonist. She moved with uncle in new town, or should I say the old one. She joined her old school again in an attempt to start her screwed up life anew, however everything didn't go well as she planned. She felt trapped with her uncle's rules, no drinking, no revealing cloths, no hook-ups, and worst of all, she met Ryan, the golden boy of tow, exactly the kind she hates.
Beth had her own issues to deal with, and so did Ryan. His life was not perfect as it seemed, he was struggling too, struggling to keep up his false façade. When their world collided, their problem merged, they fell for each other. And all these started with a dare.
Well, Ryan was a cool character, really cool, and I liked him in comparison to Beth. For Beth, she was complicated. I know she had family issue to deal with and all, so did Echo in the first book. And Echo's way was better and clearer, where I doubt Beth herself ever knew what she was going to do next. She was suffering for the conflict within herself, between her decisions and her feelings. However slowly, she won the battle within herself, also she paid a price by losing her best-friend. I liked the way Beth learned to trust people around her as the story progressed, first Ryan, then her uncle. Her character Development was notable.
Echo and Noah were epic, seriously, but Beth and Ryan? I'm uncertain. I mean they could have been great, but somehow it didn't work for me. Maybe, because I badly wanted to ship Isaiah X Beth, and the way Beth was always talking about Isaiah for the first half of the book, somehow there was slight hope flickering within me very positively. Heavens above, my heart did break for Isaiah. He deserved happiness.
Overall Dare To You was very compelling read, without a doubt. I finished the book overnight. Trust me, if you have read Pushing The Limits, you don't miss this one. Highly recommended for fans of Simon Elkeles.
And dear god, now I have to wait for Crush Into You. I hope my dearest Isaiah will finial found the one. And if he doesn't, I'm here.

Hmm I read Dare To You and I actually liked it a little better than Pushing the Limits. Beth was strong and aggressive, whereas, Echo was soft and laid-back. I suppose it depends on which personality you like best. But like you, I cannot wait for Isaiah's book! And lol at the end, "And if he doesn't, I'm here." Very subtle... :)ReplyDelete

I could go on and on for hours but it's all going to come down to this: Read Dare You To. If you loved Pushing the Limits, you will love Dare You To. It's different from Pushing the Limits but still just as amazing. I do not have a single negative thing to say about it: the characters, the story, the romance... it's complete <3ReplyDelete
I have this on my TBR list and I'm really excited to read this soon! great review!ReplyDelete

OnePlus CEO Peter Lau announced through his Facebook page that the upcoming OnePlus One Android smartphone will be priced under €350 in Europe. This device which is expected to be unveiled this coming April 23 was also previously revealed to cost as little as $400 when released in the U.S. market. That's a huge price difference (€350 converts to around $479.75) which can be blamed on the taxes but is still low considering the specs of the device.
For those who don't know yet the OnePlus One smartphone runs on a custom version of CyanogenMod called CyanogenMod 11S. The only thing we know so far about this is that it is based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat and might be different from CyanogenMod 11.
In terms of hardware specs this device has a 5.5-inch IPS display with a 1080p resolution and uses a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor. Its other features include a 13MP rear camera, a choice between 16GB or 64GB of internal storage, and a battery capacity of 3100mAh. The device will also have a hands-free voice control feature similar to that of the Moto X and will have removable backs made of different materials such as bamboo, denim, and other materials.
Just recently the company posted a photo on its Facebook page comparing the OnePlus One with the HTC One M8. The photo basically shows the One beating the M8 in every aspect while being priced less than $400 compared to the $600 price tag of the HTC One M8.
Other details of this device have been successfully kept under wraps by the company. This means that we will get to know everything about it once the unveiling date arrives. As far as it release date is concerned we are pretty sure that it will follow soon after April 23.
OnePlus is a startup company that aims to bring the best technology to consumers around the world. Its mantra is "Never Settle" which the company applies to its products by giving it beautiful designs and creating it with premium materials.

8.1 / 10 based on 3 reviews.
Of the 3 people who reviewed this product 67% would recommend it.
Lots of storage space is about all i have positive to say about the product. We had them installed into the back of our security vehicles and all we get now are complaints from the drivers about the rattling and banging noises they make when driving. Additionally you have to lift the lid slightly to align the lock and the barrel which as you can imagine isn't the most fun in the dark. They weren't easy at all either to install and cost rather a lot of money.
This Van box is well made and seems fit for purpose. In our case the box is used for secure overnight courier deliveries to the the rear of our shop. My only comment would be with regard to the lid catch that holds the box open. While the lid catch holds the lid open and prevents hands/ fingers being crushed with a falling lid it does require two hands to disengage the catch and close the lid. This means putting down anything you have removed from the box, not ideal on a wet day.

When you walk into the room, your eye goes naturally scans the walls to see what the homeowner has put up on there. Having a wooden frame around a photo, a painting or a mirror dresses up the room, and draws in the looker to check out what is inside the frame as well. Frames enhance the photos, and give a dignified look to the room. A group of frames arrouses curiousity and draws the visitor in to take a closer look. A family picture frame with decoration and color makes that special family photo stand out. Frames can also house mirrors. Round wall mirrors, when placed in a small room, make the room feel bigger. Grouped on the wall, whether round or rectangular, framing adds an extra interesting dimension to the room.
The frames seen here are round, and rectangular. Large round frames require joining several pieces of wood together in a near circular shape, and then mounting it on the lathe to produce the round shape and contours. I take the frame an extra couple of steps when I add texturing and color. Finally is is coated with multi layers of polyurethane on both the front and back. These days it is hard to find a well made round frame from wood and these frames are made to last. Polygonal and rectangular frames can also be made to order for your special photo or mirror. The wooden frame can be classically simple or decorated w/ multi-wood mosaics, branding pyrograhpy (with or without color), and egg shell texturing for classic charm.
Have a look in this gallery. The round frames pictured here are approximately 23″ D. They are ready to go. Need a specialty frame, in any style? Contact me.

LOS ANGELES – Jordin Canada scored 24 points and No.15 UCLA defeated 11th-ranked Oregon State, 71-51, Monday night for the Bruins' first victory over a ranked opponent in more than two years.
Canada hit all four of her 3-point attempts – a career high – in helping the Bruins (11-3, 3-0 Pac-12) end their 21-game skid against ranked opponents. The Bruins had lost their last 10 games against ranked teams at Pauley Pavilion. Their previous win at home came on Nov.24, 2013, when they knocked off No.10 Oklahoma, 82-76.
Kari Korver added 12 points, including three 3-pointers, and Nirra Fields (Mater Dei) had 10 for the Bruins.
Jamie Weisner was the only Beaver in double figures with 19 while in foul trouble. Oregon State (10-3, 1-1) had a season-high 26 turnovers that led to 23 points by the Bruins.
The Bruins led, 35-27, at halftime and pulled away in the third quarter. That's when they outscored the Beavers 24-16, helped by two 3-pointers from Canada.
UCLA got an 8-0 run early in the fourth to extend its lead to 67-45. Canada hit a pair of free throws to launch it and Kelli Hayes added consecutive baskets.
UCLA plays at USC on Sunday to face the Trojans for the second time in 11 days. … Korver has made at least one 3-pointer is 25 straight games. … Canada has had five or more assists in 13 of 14 games this season. … The Beavers' three-game winning streak against the Bruins ended. … They dropped from 10th to 11 in the Top 25 poll released Monday. The Beavers have been ranked in the top 11 of the AP poll every week since Dec. 29, 2014.

The location is on a main road not far from the Dnieper River and the Paton bridge, two major land marks in Kiev that help foreign business travellers find the the hotel. The service was excellent. The restaurant is reliably high quality. The rooms are excellent in size, cleanliness and amenities. The park adjoining the hotel is a perfect place for a walk. The price is not cheap but the hotel is worth the slightly higher price.
no nonsens and friendly even when they don't speak english.
The hotel staff were very helpful The hotel room I stayed in with 2 single beds was very small
silent, comfortable. there is no internet though they say yes.

A magnum opus for our morally complex times from the author of Freedom.
Young Pip Tyler doesn't know who she is. She knows that her real name is Purity, that she's saddled with $130,000 in student debt, that she's squatting with anarchists in Oakland, and that her relationship with her mother - her only family - is hazardous. But she doesn't have a clue who her father is, why her mother chose to live as a recluse with an invented name, or how she'll ever have a normal life.
Enter the Germans. A glancing encounter with a German peace activist leads Pip to an internship in South America with The Sunlight Project, an organization that traffics in all the secrets of the world - including, Pip hopes, the secret of her origins. TSP is the brainchild of Andreas Wolf, a charismatic provocateur who rose to fame in the chaos following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now on the lam in Bolivia, Andreas is drawn to Pip for reasons she doesn't understand, and the intensity of her response to him upends her conventional ideas of right and wrong.
Purity is a grand story of youthful idealism, extreme fidelity, and murder. The author of The Corrections and Freedom has imagined a world of vividly original characters - Californians and East Germans, good parents and bad parents, journalists and leakers - and he follows their intertwining paths through landscapes as contemporary as the omnipresent Internet and as ancient as the war between the sexes. Purity is the most daring and penetrating book yet by one of the major writers of our time.
This audiobook includes a bonus conversation with the author.
"In short, the book is a dream for any narrator who is itching to demonstrate his or her acting range, as Jenna Lamia, Dylan Baker, and Robert Petkoff handily do. Their performances are uniformly engaging and engrossing; together, they make the listening time fly by. Anyone weighing the potential return on investment of reading all 587 pages can safely turn the heavy lifting over to them." (AudioFile)

"I wish I knew your name or could see your face, your hair and figure had me captivated the moment you walked in. I could see the other men in the room, eyes begin to bulge as you walked by. I had to be the first one to introduce myself to you. I'm Dre." When I looked at Dre, three of his top buttons were undone and that chest made my lips wet. I knew this masked ball was going to be LIT, but LAWD!

That's why our Body Wave is:

Let's create dreams not hair nightmares like: I'm at lunch with about 5 other friends, with different cultures, and my track pops out on the side of my head about 2 inches. So one guy says "What's that sticking out the side of your head?" and I say "Oh, it's just a bobby pin." He cocks his head to the side and says, "Looks like a rouge extension to me, better get it in check." My heart jumped out of my chest and ran down the street with my stomach!

It's well worth it ladies!!
At first I was afraid to buy hair off of Facebook and especially worried cause it was so cheap but I am 100% satisfied the hair is so soft lengths were all correct I've washed and dyed the ends of the hair and it was still just as soft as before but the best part was how straight it got when I flat ironed it!! I'm in love and came back to buy 6 more bundles cause its well worth the money I feel cheated cause I've spent over $200 on hair plenty of times but not any more !!
Wanda Reese
Love It
Can I Say The Best Company So FAR! If I was to get a bundle deal somewhere else it would be about $260 to $400 and I wasn't willing to spend that type of money cause I'm a college student at that! Smells fresh, feels nice and soft and no matter how hard I run my fingers through the hair I get no shedding AT ALL & maintains the body wave bounciness! I just hate going through the process of coloring it, I just want to wash it and put it in my head! But overall two thumbs up and one big toe!
Late Order
The hair is great, but my order was a day late.
Nina Seals
I would usually spend $100-120 on just a pack and I know usually pretty good with returns if unsatisfied.
It's official I have found my new go to place for human hair. I was really skeptical at first but read the reviews and thought why not. I would usually spend $100-120 on just a pack and I know usually pretty good with returns if unsatisfied. This hair is really soft and the stylist was surprised that the wave pattern held while installing. We both assumed it might change but no styling necessary after installation. I will definitely be ordering my next from here.
Very minimal shedding, soft, and tangle free. It does not have a stinky smell. I would recommend it to anyone.
Five Stars
Love em! :-)
Quendella Huges
Can't beat this deal
I love this hair and I would order it again. At first I was skeptical about ordering hair off of Facebook, but it was good quality hair. I also ordered a closure separately by the same company. I only had it in m y hair for a few days now and so far so good. The hair is soft and does not have a smell to it. I purchased a '14 closure' 16'18'20....To make things better It was available for same day shipping..... ???????? The price is right...
Akira Franks
The lengths as requested
This hair has a excellent quality. It arrived in the lengths as expected, there was no skimping out on quality. The wefts are nice and full enough to make me feel very secure once sewn in. The hair has no odd odors or smells. The ends feel soft and the curls are very nice and soft. The curls definitely have bounce and have shine to them! They can be styled, cut or straightened but I prefer to do the loose curls. Make sure you measure your head beforehand and order the right amount. Customer service was super friendly and helpful, would definitely order again!
No Refund
My stylist cut my wefts and now my hair is shedding. They don't want to refund me..
Nea Peel
Love Love Love
At first I was skeptical but I read a lot of nice reviews. This hair is VERY nice for the price! The hair is very very soft. It curled very nicely! I have "16, "18, and "20. The hair came so fast. I ordered the hair on a Friday night and it came on that Sunday through USPS. Nak'd has a deal with USPS to deliver on Sundays so that was Awesome! I love this hair! I will definitely buy again. I want it longer next time
Beulah Miles
Dyed the hair it's great
Ordered my hair on Friday & received it Monday. I have used Brazilian hair bundles before & I fell in love with it everyone wanted to touch it due to how soft it was. I am pretty sure I wont be disappointed this time neither. Btw, the shedding issue never bother me.
Flawless hair, BRAVO, GOTTA!!!
I finally got my hair 18 20 20 installed by following the instruction. It came on time as i expected. The hair feels like silk soft...no chemical smell...no tangles...no shedding. I got what i want in a GREAT price.Length is exactly how described. My stylist was able to color the hair with no problem. The bundles are thick and full. I love that hair so such that i wearing it all day long when i hanging out with my friends. They give lots of compliments to it. LOVE it. Definitely we will try another curl type in the future from this company, BRAVO, GODDESS!!!
Buy this hair
I really love this hair. Very soft and light. Not heavy on your head. Looks so natural and lots of compliments. Not alot of shedding. My stylist liked it so much I had to order some for her. I will surely purchase again.
Problem solved, great service
The hair is very soft. I had a small issue with the 18". I mailed back to Nak'd and they exchanged another 18" instead. The 16, 18 and 20 was very full. I was scared thinking the bundles Will be thin but these are true full 100g bundles. I washed the 16, 18, and 20 and the original curl stayed. So I would recommend Nak'd Hair to anyone. Thank you for setting my Snap Chat on Fire Last night, sorry haters!
No shedding no tangling, you won't be disappointed!!!!
I've been wearing extensions for years. This hair for this price is great. No shedding no tangling. It's pretty nice. Two wefts with 100g weight will be enough for a normal head. Just looking at it as I sit here, at the first sight, you will love its smooth and shine, totally 1#B black natural color as they described. I kinda wish I had one curly hair bundle to try, which will be flawless and cute. After one time washing with shampoo, frankly speaking, it shed little but can be ignored, the wave holds very well, which i sat here 30min tryn to decide to review it here. People will stop you and talk about you to your FACE if your hair game is not right, here in New York! Anyway, you will not be disappointed!!!!!
Very Soft bundles of hair.
The hair is super soft and beautiful, usually, I used these hair to make a wig. I washed the hair and when it dried it had a nice big wave. I bought the bundles with closure, and the closure was really nice. Their closures are so thick! I attempted to dye the hair a jet black and off black. It totally works great as i expected. Most of the bundles took the color well. But for the closure, I had to dye it twice. Maybe there is a possibility that I didn't do it right. But overall I would buy from Nak'd hair again because the bundles were soft and no tangling.

Ugh. I've been on plenty of fish for like 5 months now and I've been on one date. I've probably chatted with a 100 girls, but most of those were only messages sent back and forth maybe 3 or 4 times before I don't hear from them. I promise I don't use dumb pickup lines and I only show a genuine interest and ask things listed on their profile. I try approaching girls at places like walmart or the grocery store, but I rarely seem to find a girl that's just by herself. Most of the time she has her bf with her or she has her female friend (s) with her. Honestly I've been trying to meet a girl for so long now that I almost don't even want a gf anymore. My next step is to try a bar, but I don't really have any friends and it just feels weird going to a bar alone.
