Hi guys,
I' m new on this rounds concerning all aspects of HBC but I last month i decided to installing HBC apps and wads stuff and so far everything are working great and with no great threat to me and my wii
Last night, I decided to install the new version of wii shop channel 4.2 with Wiiscu - install IOS61 and the Shop channel with -truga and everything went well.
After that I enter wii shop (easily) and could updated the internet channel, again everything seems to be fine, however when I try to get in for the second time on internet channel my wii remote disconnected and i couldn't use it for some minutes, so I decided to disconnect my wii from the power.
I waited and tried to reconnect like trhe times but i couldn't. I decided to wait a minute wii my wii off and take a long big breath and finally I could reconnect my remote and go to my wii system.
Because I'm crazy I decided again to try to enter inside the internet shannel and yes I could navigate but it seems that everthing was the same has my oldest internet version, it was like it dind't update (I went again to shop channel but everthing indicates like is the last version).
So my question is should i let go or uninstall the internet and re-install it via shop channel or uninstall the internet and re-install via wad?
I would like to use better my facebook and get full access to youtube, play java games, this is the reason I want the last version...
Hope that you could help me
P.S.- If I uninstall it should I do it using my wii system menu and erase it or should I use it anytitledeleter?
Best regards
My wii System 4.1E, chipmod, BootMii (with Nand backup), HBC, mytheme,MediaCE, FTPWII, other apps.

New Pathways into Quilt History written by Kimberly Wulfert,
Album & Signature
Quilt History, 1830 - Today
Revised September 2005
The expansion westward brought on the need for signing quilts and autograph books. It
gives me pause each time I remember that westward expansion at that time may be a
move to Ohio from Massachusetts! The far western states were still a journey too
far for most families to undertake until the California Gold Rush. The lure of
gold in the 1850s changed the minds of many Easterners who came across treacherous
miles of mountains and
wilderness to find their riches. Research tells us few quilts were actually made
while on this treacherous journey, but many were brought to keep them warm on
the way and fill their new home. (Treasures in the Trunk, Quilts on the
Oregon Trail, Mary Bywater Cross, 1993)The early signature quilts were based on friendship and made as memorials for
the leaving family. The 1840s and 50s was
the era of sentimentality. Poetry verses, autograph books, music and
illustrations reflect a leaning toward the romantic and nostalgic. A look
to one's mortality led to the desire to capture through the written word the
essence of a friendship. Journals, diaries, scrapbooks, autograph albums, photos, and signed
quilts reflect this sentimental time. Many of these memory saving hobbies were
taken up once again in the late Victorian period, but not signature quilts.
Instead, women would place their memorials on silks and velvets in crazy quilts.
Printed commemorative ribbons, embroidered pictures and sayings, sun printed
photos and other memorabilia embellished these patchwork quilts so popular
between 1876 and 1900.
ca. 1870 church fundraising signature quilt bought in eastern Missouri
(detail view below)
When money was needed to help soldiers in the Civil War, women developed the
practice of raising funds with quilts. These quilts raised money via raffles
or by charging the signer a fee per signature. Sometimes an entire family would sign
one block each. More often a
quilt was signed with hundreds of signatures and then
raffled off, bringing in as many funds as possible from a single quilt. Stories are told about quilts being re-donated by raffle
winners, two or three times over, so that the one quilt could make as much money as
possible for the cause they all believed in.
Women were known to place their political and religious beliefs on quilts. The
glorious Baltimore album quilts have sayings, bible verses, and drawings inked
on many of the blocks. These quilts were not made to be raffled that we know of.
Instead, they were made as a special gift for a particular individual in the
community that was respected for their contribution to the community in some
way.Their name, the names of the quilt makers, and other information or sentiments would be placed on
Baltimore Album quilt blocks; some, not all, but particularly the center
block. 19th Century Ink Signatures
Signature quilts are a phenomenon that occurred before the discovery of a perfected non-fading, non-bleeding,
indelible ink. Several "recipes" were developed between 1834
and 1840. Britain gave three patents between 1837 and 1840.
A new understanding about the cause of the signature
quilt fad and its relationship was discussed in Barbara Brackman's recent
(Sept. 11, 2005) digital newsletter.*(Reprinted with permission from
Brackman, The Quilt Detective: Clues in the Needlework, 2005, digital
newsletter, #29 - Inked inscriptions.) In this issue she
revisits her earlier research that credited Payson's invention of an indelible
ink in the mid-1830s as main reason friendship quilts with
signatures came into fashion in 1840.
"[Dr. Margaret] Ordońez's research into ink
composition indicates that there is no such clear-cut date for non-corrosive,
commercial inks. She notes 'the search for permanent inks that did not damage
paper and fabric was ongoing throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth
century.' She includes a reference as late as 1913 lauding a welcome new
non-corrosive ink for laundries . . . Ordońez found several patents for carbon
inks issued in Britain in the late 1830s."Barbara writes that in light of this research it
seems unlikely that it was a change in ink that led to the fad for signing
quilt blocks. Her stance now is that the era at that time was more influential
than the changes in ink's indelibility than she had previously thought. The style of signing friendship blocks with ink begins as early as
1839 in Barbara's database, but quilts were signed with ink beginning in the
early 1830s.
(I highly recommend subscribing to Barbara's digital newsletter.
Read more about it here
Margaret T. Ordońez is a professor in the Textile
and Clothing Department at the University of Rhode Island and she heads up
their conservation lab. For more detailed information about inks and their
effect on fabric, read her research paper "Ink Damage on Nineteenth
Century Cotton Signature Quilts," in Uncoverings 1992,
Francisco, American Quilt Study Group, 1993).
Iron sulfate and nut gall (gall forms around wounds on the bark of oak trees and
to encase gall wasp's eggs)
were combined to form the basic ink used throughout most of the 19th and part of
the 20th century. In the early years, the problem arose when the tannic acid in
the gall would harden cellulose fibers in fabric and paper. A chemical
reaction called hydrolysis would occur causing the cellulose fibers to degrade.
It also caused damage to occur overtime. Water and light helped the degrading
along. The earliest signed blocks show the remaining ink smeared or almost
invisible. People tried some other rather interesting elements to
make ink. These included indigo, Prussian blue, silver nitrate, madder, potash
with wood tar, and lampblack mixed with either linseed oil, or borax and
shellac. India ink, made from carbon, and sometimes mixed with diluted
hydrochloride acid, seemed to be the most resistant to fading when wet and
ca. 1870
fundraising signature quilt close up
Signatures, drawings, dates,
and verses were tiny in the early years. They were applied to the fabric using
stencils, stamps or freehand. Stencils were made from copper, tin or nickel. A
lady would have one made for herself that portrayed her sense of style. It may include a design, like a feather or fancy
circle around her name, or just be simple block letters. These were used to
label their clothes and linens too, a common practice when women washed their
clothes in public places. Stamps, with changeable letters were more economical
and common. The letters were lead, the stamp metal, with a wooden handle. These
stamps could have a decorative oval shape, which encircled the changeable
letters. The most popular form of signature was freehand, either by a hired
calligrapher or by the maker of the quilt block.

Arsenal to make a £40m bid for Real Madrid's Karim Benzema [Telegraph]
The Telegraph on Thursday turns Arsenal fans' attentions away from the Gunners excellent 3-0 win away at Fenerbahce by boosting hopes that Karim Benzema could be set to move to the Emirates.
According to the backpage of the broadsheet, Arsenal are ready to make a £40m bid for Real Madrid's French international striker.
Rumours linking Arsene Wenger to Benzema are nothing new, and only a couple of weeks away an identical rumour was floated by Futbol Mercado saying that Arsenal had lodged a €45m bid for the Los Blancos centre-forward.
Moreover, the Futbol Mercado rumours followed gossip leaked by French newspaper Le 10 Sport a week earlier, which also claimed that Arsenal were considering a £39m bid for the Real Madrid having been thwarted in their efforts to sign Liverpool's Luis Suarez.
Now, of course, there is the outside chance the any negativity towards the Arsenal-Benzema story is misplaced. That said, many Gunners fans who will hear the Telegraph's rumour on Thursday may be quick to dismiss it as nonsense.
A picture of the backpage of the Telegraph on Thursday is below.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Jenny G. M.
Review for The Northwest Center (NORTHWEST CENTER INC), Washington, DC, USA
I have been involved with The Northwest Center for 9 years, 5 as a staff member followed by 4 (to the present) as a Board Member. I can not say enough good things about NWC. As a clinical social worker, I am very aware of the Social Service needs in DC and can clearly see that The Northwest Center's Maternity Home and Pregnancy Center Program fills a much needed void in Washington DC. The Center's staff and volunteers, are exceptionally dedicated, compassion, hardworking and professional. They treat each family that walks though our doors with the utmost dignity and respect. NWC staff remain true to it's mission; "The Northwest Center seeks to promote the dignity of women and a respect for all human life. We seek to accomplish this goal by offering the loving support and comprehensive aid necessary to enable all women to continue their pregnancies, deliver healthy babies, and adequately care for themselves and their children." The Northwest Center and my involvement in it's mission and services have truly changed my life and that of many of my family and friends.

Hi there, if I use

the Root.Content.Meta-data Tab will be hidden in the Backend, if I choose english for my Language. But, if I change the Lanuage to german where Meta-data is called Metadaten, the Tab isn't removed. This is not that big Problem, but I'm writing a module which should be available in more Languages than german and english.
Is the only chance, to remove this tab in other languages, to add it as removefield for every language?

Elvis Costello and Standards
What is a "standard?" The dictionary on my desk, as its fifth definition for the word, says that it is "a piece of music that has remained popular for many years." Which is actually a pretty good, non-partisan description from an old dictionary, since the word is almost always applied to a specific body of work—the classic compositions, mostly from the 1930s and '40s, written by the likes of George Gershwin and Cole Porter, that are sometimes called "The Great American Songbook," and that can still be heard, inescapably, in bars and lounges around the world.
No one alive has found more depth to this set of standards than this week's guest on SPECTACLE, Tony Bennett. For almost sixty astonishing years, Bennett has explored the full range of pop styles, delivering thoughtful, sometimes definitive versions of these glorious songs.
Elvis Costello has taken his shot at some of music's most celebrated standards, too. In 1979, he released his version of Rodgers and Hart's "My Funny Valentine" as a 45 on red vinyl, given away at his show on February 14 (making him one of over a thousand people to record the song). Soon after, he cut a version of Cole Porter's "Love for Sale" during the sessions for 1981′s Trust album.
He's found occasion to return to other songs from that era throughout his career. While the covers album Kojak Variety concentrated on songs by contemporary writers, the bonus disc included on the 2004 reissue contained two masterpieces by George and Ira Gershwin—"How Long Has This Been Going On" and "But Not For Me." Elvis's 2003 appearance on Marian McPartland's NPR show Piano Jazz—released as an album two years later–includes his takes on such numbers as "The Very Thought of You" and Jerome Kern's "They Didn't Believe Me."
But if we go by the dictionary's words above, several of Elvis's own compositions now almost qualify as standards themselves. "Alison," from My Aim Is True, was most famously covered by Linda Ronstadt, but has also been recorded by such artists as Everything But the Girl, Holly Cole, and Brandon Boyd of Incubus. "Almost Blue," the 1982 Elvis song that probably still feels the most like an old-school standard, was cut by jazz great Chet Baker, as well as Alison Moyet, Gwen Stefani, and his wife, Diana Krall.
But as Tony Bennett recounts on SPECTACLE, his unlikely Number One hit with Hank Williams's "Cold Cold Heart" proves that standards can come from surprising places. The song associated with Elvis that has truly come to resemble a new-generation standard is "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding," written by Nick Lowe and included on the US version of the 1979 Armed Forces album. Since then, the song has been recorded by dozens of singers, ranging from Curtis Stigers (on the gazillion-selling soundtrack to The Bodyguard) to the Wallflowers, from the Flaming Lips to Steve Earle.
It was used by Bruce Springsteen (joined by R.E.M. and Conor Oberst) as an encore on the 2004 Vote for Change tour; given an unforgettable karaoke treatment by Bill Murray in the film Lost in Translation; and recently Elvis joined Feist, John Legend, Toby Keith, and Willie Nelson to perform the song on Stephen Colbert's Christmas special. And there's nothing standard about any of that.

Nasri hails Aguero-Negredo partnership
Samir Nasri has told the Manchester Evening News he believes Manchester City have the finest strike duo in England in the in-form pair of Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Negredo.
• Curtis: Sailing Towards the Light
City have scored 12 goals in their last two games, a 7-0 thrashing of Norwich and a 5-2 victory over CSKA Moscow, and Negredo's hat trick against the Russian side took his tally to five goals in his three matches.
Aguero has scored nine times in his last six appearances and is the Premier League's joint top scorer along with Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge.
But while the Anfield alliance of Sturridge and Luis Suarez and the Manchester United forward line of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney have been touted as the most potent pairing in the country, Nasri is convinced City have the deadliest duo.
The France international told the Manchester Evening News: "I think Negredo and Aguero are really complete together because one is small and quick with good feet and the other one is just a beast who can keep the ball and score goals.
"In the last couple of games they have been banging in goals for fun, so maybe people should watch the game a little bit more and stop talking only about other teams' strikers, even though I respect them a lot. For me Negredo and Aguero are the best."
Nasri himself has been in fine form and has dismissed suggestions he and David Silva are too similar to play together, arguing it suits City to have them both in the starting XI.
He added: "I don't think it's difficult at all to play with David. When I first arrived here, we played a lot together and we won the title.
"When you are a club like Man City and you play a lot of possession football, it's better to have two play-makers on the pitch to help keep the ball and can make something happen with a pass or with a piece of skill so for me it's not a problem.
"The style we are playing suits my game and it suits David's because when you have the ball, there is always a solution and that's how it needs to be if you want to play attractive football.
"We play one-touch, two-touch or whatever is needed to move the ball forward and at pace higher up the pitch. It's a good mentality and we have to keep it up."

Can anyone recommend a reliable toaster oven or countertop oven suitable as a substitute for my regular oven?
With summer approaching, I am considering purchasing a toaster oven. I really like to roast and broil, but I hate turning on the oven during the summer because it just heats up the place something terrible. I have been reading a surprising number of "summer recipes" that involve the oven, and I have also just joined a CSA for the first time, so I am expecting to do a fair amount of cooking in the next few months. Reviews on websites are surprisingly mixed on all models, so I'm curious to see if anyone particularly loves their countertop oven.

It seems I've found a pretty good solution for this. Using Configurable USB loader .ISO's can be played off of an NTFS formatted drive. CFG loader doesn't quite have the sexiest interface but I think this may be the best solution. I've been using trimmed ISO's with a lot of success with the exception of a few.
This way one is able to load .ISO (usually trimmed) for play on the Wii as well as the Dolphin emulator (for all the high-res junnkies) without the need for two different filetypes for each game.

Two of my non-professional book interests collided last week sort of unexpectedly.
#1: I had the opportunity last weekend to attend a seminar held by Daniel Traister, Curator of the Annenberg Rare Book and Manuscript Library at the University of Pennsylvania (my alma mater). The session was titled, "What Good is an Old Book in the Age of Google?"
#2: I ran the Scholastic Book Fair at my kids' elementary school, not for the first time. One of the biggest aspects of the job (besides steering kids away from $5 pens!) is of course helping them select books that are a. appropriate and b. they can afford.
Here's where the collision fits in.
During the Penn session, the attendees were treated to a glimpse of two editions of the Nuremberg Chronicle, printed in 1493, a phenomenal specimen. The book has a rich history in art and literature and much has been written about it….but what struck me was Professor Traister's reminder that the book was never intended to be read. It was intended to be owned. It's large, unwieldy, heavy, not particularly well-written, and the material isn't all that exciting. But if you could afford to display it in your house? Well, then…
Fast forward 516 years to present day, where the same principles are applied (loosely) on a small scale at my book fair. Magic Tree House: $4.99 paperback. Displayed next to $11.99 hardcover of the newest book. Jan Brett's Gingerbread Friends: hardcover, $17.99. Softcover school edition, also available, with fold-out insert: $4.99.
I understand the economics of publishing: hardcovers are more profitable. But where is the value to the consumer? How can I, in good conscience, direct any child to purchase the same product in different binding for 3 times more when the reading experience will be exactly the same (maybe better for the softcover if you consider the fold-out insert)? We didn't. We directed kids away from the $17+ hardcovers and to the softcover editions, where they could spend the same amount of money and walk away with triple the number of books to love and enjoy.
It's not that the $17.99 by itself is too much (that's another debate). It's the additional cost for the hardcover when the content is the same. Particularly–and why don't more people say this?–when there are just too many quality books available out there.
Certain formats will always demand to be owned rather than consumed, it's true (see this video from HarperStudio about the Art of Bookmaking). But I'd like to suggest that for most books this simply isn't the case, especially as ebooks continue to push prices lower and there is a larger gap between the hardcover and "other format" prices. Timing, too: as the time between hardcover, paperback and ebook releases shorten, there is a greater incentive for consumers to just wait it out until the less expensive version is available. Particularly when–and why don't more people say this!–there are just too many quality books available out there.
In many ways, the pricing model for books was established over 500 years ago, when the physical format of the book clearly denoted its worth and purpose. Though many publishers continue to experiment with formats and release schedules, now seems to be the time for publishers to veer dramatically away from the traditional process to consider at the manuscript stage: What format provides the best value for the consumer? Is it useful content, format-agnostic? Maybe best as a website or iphone app or ebook, then. Is it for entertainment and a one-time use? Perhaps the hardcover version is eliminated, or published after the paperback, as a "collector's edition" the way DVD collections of TV shows are (ie, when the book's saleability warrants the hardcover edition.)
Although price is set by the publisher (or retailer), value is of course determined by the consumer. It's anecdotal, but what I hear from regular old consumers, at book fairs, shopping for birthday gifts, on the playground, is that book pricing is confusing, too expensive and even a little manipulative. In a frugal economy with an abundance of options for information consumption and entertainment, where consumers can compare prices nearly anywhere, are we getting it right for our readers?

My hair is soft, limp, straight and refuses to hold a style. It has little volume and gets greasy very fast.
This product is very helpful at creating texture and giving volume and some grit. I put about 2 pea-sized amounts in damp hair, focusing on the roots and spreading what's left toward the middle. I don't use it on my ends because it tends to volumize them as well and I like them to look more sleek.
After that, I blow dry as usual, and use a round brush to smooth out the bottom of my hair.
I get nice volume at the top, my hair doesn't fall limp by the end of the day and doesn't stick to my scalp. On the odd occasion when I use a curling wand, my waves last longer. It seems it even helps a bit with oiliness.
I use this product almost every time I wash my hair and I definitely notice a difference. My hair looks more tousled and messy and has more life, but it doesn't look like I put a lot of product in, it just looks naturally textured.
I used up the small tube and just ordered the big size. It's become a stable in my hair styling, and I'm a non-fuss kind of person who doesn't like to faff around for too long with my hair.

I have only noticed this adding the smallest amount of texture/control to my hair; it's possible my hair is too long (chin-length) to be textured, but I've tried it on damp hair and used heat and it just didn't add any oomph for me.

Amazing product. I had read about this in a magazine a long time before I actually bought it. I was tempted by the promise of having perfectly textured, undone yet done, touchable hair with a bit of volume and grip, but put off by the ridiculously high price and the fact that most products don't seem to work to add any texture to my fine, coloured, shoulder-length hair. When I went on holidays to Germany a year ago and my hair had a total meltdown due to the different climate and water, I trotted off to the nearest Douglas, they stocked Texture, and I took it as a sign and bought it. I haven't looked back!
Texture comes in a tube with a self-close screwtop. It is a white, slightly translucent cream-gel with a faint, fresh pleasant scent that doesn't linger. I found after some trial and error that only a little bit is needed to be applied at the roots and too much will make your hair crispy. As I was on holidays I didn't have access to a hair dryer and this worked just fine if I let my hair air dry. I normally applied it to damp roots with my fingers, ruffled it around a bit, then brushed or combed it through the hair and let it air dry. Sometimes if I brushed my hair after it was dry it would "reactivate" the product and give me a bit more body. Since getting home and using it over the course of the last year in my usual climate I have found it also works well applying to damp hair and then blow drying. I get that sexy, tousled look without looking like I've been dragged backwards through a hedge or forgotten to brush my hair. Works great on its own, though I also like to use Pret a Powder for added oomph and sometimes Brilliantine on the ends. It doesn't build up on my scalp and doesn't look greasy either.
Although the product is expensive to buy here in Australia ($44), it's turned out to be economical as I still have product left after a year of using it most days. I have just bought a second tube as backup.

This is one of my go-to products for when I want to achieve that tousled bedhead hair (Oribe Surfcomber mousse is the other). I've actually had this for two years but only recently really came to know how awesome it is when I decided to get a lob. It's very thick and sticky like a concentrated gel cream but as the instructions say, start with just a small amount and add more from there.
I use it on damp hair, but I've also used it on dry hair to give it that extra grungy texture (also great for creating some grip when you're trying to do some kind of updo or braided style). I scrunch this into my super coarse straight hair, then blow dry with a diffuser to give it that slight tousled wave look or I will let it air dry. When my hair has dried, I'll tszuj it up with my fingers (think of that sprinkling salt action but with your hair instead of salt) to create that intentional light halo of frizz. When used on dry hair, it does leave a matte finish, but when I use it on damp hair, I find that it dries with an undetectable finish and my hair still has a natural shine to it.
The product has a very light scent that fades as soon as you apply it to your hair (so it won't compete with any scented lotions or perfumes you may be wearing). I appreciate that they used one of those half screw tops for this packaging, so you don't have to deal with fully unscrewing and screwing the cap back onto the tube.

This product is just awesome! I have straight hair that are somewhere between fine and thick and use this on wet hair right after i get out of the shower mostly on my roots and then mess it up on my hair. My hair does not tend to hold style but when using this I have more volume plus hold! After my hair is 80% dry, I twist my hair in a bun and let them air dry or sleep on them and then i have beautiful soft waves not sticky at all!!! Plus you need so little (less than pea sized for my long hair) so it lasts forever! I would definitely recommend this!

My hair: long, medium thickness and average amount, virgin and healthy, mostly straight with a slight body wave, normal scalp, no major issues. I wash every other day with sulfate-free shampoo and am fairly minimalistic when it comes to styling my hair.
The product is a sticky white cream that MUST be used on WET hair. Even damp hair is not really going to play nicely with this. I usually apply it after right I wash my hair. There's a slight, unisex fragrance which I find pleasant. The packaging is clever, but it does mean you have to wipe the cap off carefully before putting it in a drawer or whatever.
As with many of Bumble & Bumble's styling products, this product requires some experimentation in order to figure out how best to use it to meet one's needs.
I first tried applying a bunch (several quarter sized dollops) to wet hair, concentrating the product on the roots, then blow-drying, as the package suggests, after letting it sit for a minute. This produces a decent amount of all-over volume, but it's neither more nor less than other volumizing products I've used. And I don't get that texturized, tousled look that the packaging promises--my hair just looks like it normally does after I blowdry it, smooth, voluminous and sort of poufy. Also, if I use another product on top of it (like dry shampoo on the second day), I get flakes that look like dandruff :(
I about gave up on the product and was planning on swapping it away. I could get cheaper volumizing products. But I decided to give it another try first. This time, I applied the product like I did before, but I let my hair air dry instead. I was surprised to find that this gave me much more lift in the roots and better definition of my natural texture than blowdrying. The product dries slightly crunchy, so you need to loosen it up with your fingers after your roots dry, just as the package instructs. This product works particularly well with Brillantine to produce hair that's somehow both polished and undone.
What's also cool is that this product seems to soak up or suppress oil because my second day hair doesn't look or feel as limp as it usually does. It's a nice, unlooked for bonus.
I've been using this almost everyday for the past few weeks and have experienced no problems. It's a great, low-maintenance way to achieve volume + texture. It does flake if you use too much, though you'll have to experiment to figure out how much that is for you. Even though this product is rather pricey, I think it's a definite repurchase for me. I strongly suggest you get a sample or buy the smaller tube from Sephora before committing to the full size, however. Even the small tube will last you months.
ETA: I used up my small tube and bought a full-sized one. I use this product everyday, so I bumped up my rating to 5 lippies. It's become a staple for me. I've also discovered another use for it. After I take my freshly-washed hair out of my microfiber towel, I apply a blob of this stuff to my roots as usual (for body), then flip my head upside down and scrunch a nickel-sized amount into my hair. Then I air-dry. I have a slight natural wave and doing this defines the wave more but without any stiffness or crunchiness or dullness (like salt styling products can produce). Just softly defined, rumpled, loose waves with body and shine.
Style retention is awesome. I put my hair in a ponytail and was zooming away on the elliptical for 30 minutes with my hair swinging all over the place and getting good and sweaty. When I took my hair down, it had maintained the wave pattern. continued >>

I have delicate, slightly weavy, thin hair therefore I am on a perpetual hunt for products that are going to give me some texture (so that my hair is NOT silky and and clean looking - then it only lays flat and limp, especially at the roots), I strive for some bounce and some hold (I blow dry it every day on a round barrel brush to get some oomph in the roots) because without product my hair looks like there is even less of it than usual.
Bb.texture hair (un) dressing creme is one of several expensive volumizing texturisers that I have in my stash. I bought the biggest tube Space NK had available (at quite eye watering �21although using up 150 ml took me almost two years - which is a maximum opening time of this product btw).
I tend to apply it on my towel dried hair (about 5p coin size amount) just at my roots and blow dry my hair on a bog barrel brush - you have to be careful with the amount as it makes the hair matte and if you put too much it FLAKES OFF in tiny white specks which makes you feel like you have dandruff. I definitely DO NOT HAVE dandruff, thankyouverymuch.
It kind of holds the blow-dry although it does not tend to have too much holding power and my hair goes flat again after several hours. However one thing that is excellent about this product is that my hair does not grease so fast when I am using it - my hair is still good looking on the second day too.
Still, I will not repurchase this product.

Ok, so I've had this product for months now, and I've been on the fence about it. I had high expectations for this product since I saw so many rave reviews. I was hoping it would be a one step game-changer that would give me that textured messy slightly dishevelled look that is ever so popular right now. It worked brilliantly on my friend's hair, giving her natural wavy finish but it didn't work so well on my hair. I have natural asian hair that is straight with a tiny bit of wave when it air dries so in retrospect, my expectations were too high. However, I've learned to love it for different reasons.
This product adds volume and texture to your hair. My hair ends halfway down my chest right now, and I use about a quarter size amount of this product. I apply it to wet/damp hair, and I start with the mid/bottom length with my hair, and apply the remaining product to the roots at the top of my head and bangs. Then you're supposed to wait a minute and then fluff, scrunch and mess up your hair a little to get that texture in. I then blow dry my bangs to make sure they set in the right direction, then upside down at the roots to lock get lots of volume, and then I hand dry the rest of my head scrunching and twisting my hair as I do so to get a not-so-perfect finish. The product gives your hair grip to hold extra volume. Its also great for my bangs as it makes it easier to style, and stay put.
The other perk I noticed, is that it seems to prolong my wash! I can go two days with my hair looking clean, and an extra day with the help of dry shampoo and volumizing powder. I used to only be able to go two days with the help of dry shampoo, and the 3rd day was definitely an updo day.
I think this is a versatile product, and you need to try it out different ways to see how it works for you. My frend would apply it and then semi-dry her hair, and then twist her hair up into buns and the next morning it would come out nice and wavy. I've never had any issues with flaking like some of the other reviewers, and it does not feel heavy or greasy in my hair. I think its always best to start with less and add as needed to avoid these scenarios.

i tried this on damp and on dry hair. i'm not sure how one is supposed to use this but clearly i don't have the patience to mess with my hair for so long. made my hair dull, flat and dirty looking (and not in a good way). it also flakes off as a fine powder. luckily, i only bought a travel size tube.

The durable Swig is available in two sizes, Small (holds up to 13-inch notebooks) for $80, and the Medium seen here (up to 17-inch notebooks) for $90. It's got a main compartment, like most messenger bags, that will swallow all your books and folders whole. The main compartment also has a built-in pouch for your notebook, with padding and a Velcro equipped strap to keep it in. It held the 15-inch MacBook Pro I used quite securely and safely. If you're the type that just dumps everything in one big pocket, then the Swig is your bag.
It might have a cathedral-like capacity, but that also means that the bag itself is huge. It's over 20 inches tall and 13 inches wide (7 inches deep), so it may look big on your back. The Small version is more proportioned for shorter folks. Though large, the Swig pack is comfortable to wear with both straps. The Swig's name does give it a hint to its ultimate purpose: the inside pocket can fit many bottles or cans of your favorite beverage and there's a "carbonated beverage opener" on one of the straps.
The bag also has a second internal pocket with a small zippered compartment for small items (keys, IDs, etc.), though I wish there were at least one more zippered compartment for stuff like power adapters and cables. A single large flap keeps the two pockets and all your stuff covered up. The downside to the large compartments and single flap is that small stuff like pens and USB keys may fall out if you turn the bag over: two Velcro strips supplement the two snap closures, but I'd like a little more to keep the bag fully closed. There are loops on the straps so you can attach external pouches to the pack. There is some back padding, but not nearly as much as in other bags like the Timbuk2 Commute Pack.
The Swig comes in four pre-made color combinations, including the gun metal/blue/gun metal combo seen here. You can also customize the bag on Timbuk2's website for a plethora of colors including reflective and "lightweight" materials. All in all, the bag is a comfortable, copious cache for all you stuff, but make sure you need the space, because it is a big bag.

The interactive website for paranormal thriller Dark Skies is almost as mysterious as the cryptic trailer. The website youhavebeenchoosen.org accesses your Facebook feed to create something called a "Terestrial ID Card" for you. Says Weinstein Company's senior marketing VP, Bladimiar Norman, "We try to exploit the openness that consumers have with their social media platforms. It gives them the idea that people are watching them and can very easily develops files on them. We know where you live and where you were born and who your friends are. It's a play on accessibility and also just having fun with the creepiness and paranoid nature of the subject of the film."

In case you were wondering, this is what a peritoneal dialysis machine, or "cycler", looks like. The set-up is pretty simple really: turn it on and do what it tells you to do! Insert the casette, hook up the drain bag, hook up the bags, hook up yourself. From this point on the machine does the rest of the work which is the whole fill, dwell, drain process. I have 3 dwells that are each a little over 2 hours long, so I end up having to be tethered to the machine for about 7 or 8 hours each night. I usually try to hook up by 8:30 at least so I can be done by the time I have to wake up and get ready for work at 5:20AM. Fridays and Saturdays I can hook up whenever I want as long as I don't have any morning activities planned (I hate mornings and sleeping in is one of my favorite things in the world to do). This machine is pretty sophisticated–it has a memory card in it that can be programmed for each patient's specific treatment needs. I started out using two 1.5% solution bags each night, however this wasn't really strong enough to remove a significant amount of fluid/toxins from my body and at some points it was actually adding fluid, so my dialysis nurse said to use a 1.5% and a 2.5% which worked pretty good. Now I alternate every other day between using a 1.5% and a 2.5% and two 2.5% bags. Things are going well.
Yes, that is a bowl of ice cream sitting on that bag next to the machine. I can set things like my phone or the remote or a bowl of ice cream on the bags if I need to, so that's nce. I'm lucky that I'm even allowed to eat ice cream! Most people with kidney failure aren't supposed to because dairy products are so high in phosphorus.

I was really pleased with the size and layout of this tent. We got it for family camping and having 2 distinct bedrooms with plenty of space between them seemed brilliant. Unfortunately there are 2 downsides: 1. It's v heavy, around 30kg 2. It's not strong enough to hold its own weight. In 4 nights of camping (Summer in the UK) we broke 4 poles. Up until then I had never broken any pole on any tent in 20 years+ of camping, on 3 continents. Customer service was worse than nothing. No address or… Read Full Review

As experienced campers we pitched the tent despite the instructions in an hour, one of the roof seams were missed, poor connections and zips and the front porch felt unstable in design. We purchased the tent from Charlie's stores who were advertising a diablo 600 XL picture on their website as a diablo 600 2012 so did not intentionally purchase the weak design. The tent was ok in the wind although nothing like our previous vango rio 400. However we were not convinced of its stability and at 6am… Read Full Review

Can endorse all that has been said. Excellent tent which withstood 3 days of Atlantic winds on exposed site. Felt stable and secure although it is a bit of a job to erect and definitely a 2 man job. Wind and rain proof and dry all the time. Good zips and the dark inner sleeping covers did their job admirably. We are only two persons using this so it is fairly spacious but would be cramped with 6 inside.

I have camped for many years. Now 56 in all. This tent is fantabulous. Great space - bedrooms, porch (trailer and all when needed) as well as massive living area. Only one drawback is the time to pitch it. Once it's up, it is the bestist tent ever even against wind and rain.
If I was starting again, I would buy the same one, Diablo 600.

I bought the Vango Diablo 600 Tent for the duel purpose of both festivals (as I need the space) and for family camping trips.

When Nick Swisher and Rafael Soriano declined qualifying offers from the New York Yankees, it was both expected and relatively already planned for. After all, Mariano Rivera has already announced his 2013 return to the Yankees' closer role and New York has several options including Ichiro Suzuki, to plug into right field.
Hiroki Kuroda rejecting the qualifying offer is another story. Kuroda and his agent likely feel he can fetch more on the open market, which makes sense given his cooperation for only a one year deal. A team like the Dodgers, trying to build a competitive team on the fly for its new TV deal would be an ideal fit for the right-handed veteran given he spent four years there to begin his MLB career.
Many other teams can use a veteran presence in the rotation with proven success in baseball's hardest hitting division as well. The Yankees were rumored to be expecting this rejection ahead of time and likely will have confidence they can resign Kuroda anyway.
For New York, it is 100% about years on the deal and not money. They can pay Kuroda $20 million dollars next year and not "bat an eye" if they had to, as long as it didn't leak into 2014 at the self imposed deadline for cutting payroll.
Likely, New York is still going to get Kuroda back. By all accounts he was happy in the Bronx, he lives there already and he knows they will compete. It will probably just take more than the 13.3 million dollars in the qualifying offer.
With only Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes and CC Sabathia healthy and presently under contract for next season, Kuroda really does have the leverage. To pick up a front-end starter on a one year deal is a rarity and the Yankees may be able to do it with both Kuroda and Andy Pettitte to complete the pitching staff.
Bumping Kuroda up to around $16 million in 2013 (the annual amount Pettitte was getting on one year deals from New York) should get the job done, particularly since another team would have to top the Yankees' offer and lose a draft pick in the deal.

Prince's 'Lovesexy' Turns 25
On May 10, 1988, Prince won a personal battle between good and evil with the release of his 10th album, 'Lovesexy.' Unfortunately, he lost much of the record-buying public in the process.
Not permanently, mind you — millions came flocking back for his 'Batman' soundtrack the next year. But this deeply spiritual, reportedly hastily assembled album marked the first time the public at large failed to follow Prince further down the rabbit hole since he conquered the world somewhere between '1999' and 'Purple Rain.'
Of course, it doesn't seem like sales potential was foremost on Prince's mind when he created 'Lovesexy.' One look at the cover, featuring the artist completely nude in a "sure to be censored or hidden by retailers" manner, makes that quite clear. (It gets worse if you really think about what's used as the stigma of the flower behind him.)
The photo, like the album itself, is designed to celebrate a spiritual rebirth within Prince, and it seems this awakening came after a moral crisis of some magnitude. Apparently stung by criticism that he had left the urban audience behind — those who were the first to embrace him — Prince planned to follow up 1987's genre-hopping double album masterpiece 'Sign 'O' the Times' with a straight-up funk album.
However, this so-called 'Black Album' — so named because it was going to be released in a plain black cover, with no mention of the artist's name or even song titles — was withdrawn shortly before its planned release. The story goes that Prince had a crisis of conscience over the lyrical subject matter on the album, which featured unusually dark, near-glorifying shades of violence and erotica. There's gunplay and murder on 'Bob George' and a (tongue-in-cheek) public sex-for-money solicitation — "I'll pay the usual fee" — to a famous model on 'Cindy C.'
Suddenly deciding this was not the energy he wanted to put out into the world, Prince instead quickly assembled 'Lovesexy,' a song cycle chronicling internal and external battles between right and wrong and extolling the virtues of positivity and religion. Or as he puts it in the soul-baring, dramatically escalating ballad 'Anna Stesia,' "Love is God, God is love, girls and boys love God above."
Although there are bold and exciting songs on 'Lovesexy,' including the dance-rock-rap genius of 'Alphabet St.' and the melancholy 'I Wish U Heaven,' overall the material wasn't as strong as Prince's previous string of classics that fans had come to expect. 'Dance On' tries too hard to make big social comments, and the overly earnest 'Positivity' sinks under the strain of attempting to create a new rallying slogan for the "New Power Generation" Prince hoped to build.
The decision to sequence the CD as one continuous track (thereby not allowing listeners to skip to hear a particular song) made it even harder for people to connect with this record on their own terms. Accordingly, 'Lovesexy' did not sell nearly as well as its predecessors, with only the undeniable 'Alphabet St.' making a permanent dent in the public consciousness.
Still, it's an important part of Prince's history, and one that hopefully will be revisited someday with a deluxe box set. Until then, there's some great audio and video from this era that deserves to be sought out — start with the 12″ mixes of 'Glam Slam' and 'I Wish U Heaven.' The instrumental climax of the former sets lush, swirling strings against spare, beeping keyboards in a way that would make Mozart giggle in delight. The latter is really three distinct songs in one, complete with gospel choirs and a fantastic guitar solo.
But the real prize, which shamefully has never been released (legally) on DVD, is the full-length concert DVD from the 'Lovesexy' tour which originally aired on German television. It features Prince and his amazing late '80s band expanding the good vs. evil battle featured on the album by dividing hits from throughout his career into two distinctly themed sets. This all takes place on a huge in-the-round stage featuring a bedroom, basketball court and fully mobile '66 ('67?) Ford Thunderbird, and it's as great as you'd expect.

MENIFEE - A collision on northbound Interstate 215 near Newport Road caused a chain reaction of traffic snags and a long line of stalled traffic Monday afternoon, but no major injuries, said Officer Ron Thatcher of the California Highway Patrol.
Shortly after two cars collided about 2 p.m., a 22-year-old Murrieta man reacted to the stopped traffic too late and lost control of his PT Cruiser, which overturned in the center divider, Thatcher said. He was taken to an area hospital, complaining of shoulder pain, the officer said.
Thatcher said clearing the accident scene was further complicated when an ambulance had a flat tire, and a tow truck responding to the scene broke down in traffic lanes.
"It all really messed up traffic for a while," Thatcher said.

Fikkle found being dps by moths for his balls?
Lok'tar friends. Well I doubt anyone still has us in their feed readers at this point, after months of defunct blog status, but I think I might make a reappearance to the blogosphere soon. For a while I didn't think I had much to say. Now, I still don't think I do, but I miss writing, so there it is. Today I'm going to talk about my mage. I'll probably do a post about what I've been up to over the wrath expansion soon.
So I got back to playing my mage last night for the first time in I don't know how long. The toon, Fikkle, hasn't been my main since mid-BC and hasn't received any kind of serious playtime since the Shattered Sun Offensive began.
I levelled him a bit sometime since Wrath was released, as he's level 74 (now 75), but the only reason he got any playtime at all was so that he could learn to port to Dal, which is useless for my other 9 characters on that server / account, but was done for my friends.
Lately, however, I've grown nostalgic a bit about him. He has just under 10k lifetime honor kills and is a bag making and gear chanting machine. But I've never had any desire to play him after I started to seriously level alts and discover the other classes. For whatever reason, last night I decided to pull him out of mothballs (Merciless Gladiator mothballs, no less) get him into some heirloom gear and go start levelling. I did a bunch of quests and some Arathi Basin pvp, as well as a random DTK run.
When I logged him in, I realized he was Fire spec'd, which is odd, since I haven't played him as fire since he was level 50. I decided to go back to Frost for pvp and survivability and oh man was it ever a great choice.
During the DTK run the tank and the other two dps died to black bad on the ground and the three mobs turned toward me. Blizzard and the other roots in frost saved me and allowed me to survive and kill the mobs. The healer tossed a few heals, but that was about it. The same thing happened again later and once again I solo'd them, with a few heals.
Now I'm not saying that Gnomer said was wrong about the whole fire/frost/arcane arguement, but I do know for a fact that if I had tried that as fire I would have been the proverbial bug on the proverbial windshield. Frost's survivability and control is wickedly powerful and so I think I'll stick with it, at least for now.
That being said, there was that one Rogue in AB that really wanted roasted steak on a stick for dinner, but was forced to settle for tenderized mage on two daggers instead. I still contend that rogues are far too powerful. Nerf rogues. Make them dps with chopsticks… Toothpicks… Dental floss! Yep, we have a winner. Rogues dual wielding dental floss in the next patch. Blizz make it happen, and don't worry, you can claim the idea was yours, I totally don't mind.
Stay Hordecore,
— Fikkle

Gotta love this fetching "book dress," courtesy of Trashonista:
Wasn't that a trip?
British singer/songwriter Lily Allen, whom Elton John calls "Britain's best lyricist," is writing songs for a musical based on Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary, scheduled to open in London in 2012. (Hope one of them uses B's catch phrase "and similar.") Bets on whether the lead actress will have to gain weight for the part?
Did anyone see the PBS documentary Biblioburro last week? It was described as "the story of a librarian—and a library—like no other. A decade ago, Colombian grade-school teacher Luis Soriano was inspired to spend his weekends bringing a modest collection of precious books, via two hard-working donkeys, to the children of Magdalena Province's poor and violence-ridden interior."
Looks heartwarming .... All it takes is one gaucho and one donkey to make a difference!
Jane Austen is a fairly perennial topic around here, and I tagged Stephen King, so I just had to share this item from historicLOLs:
If you're someone who enjoys sending and receiving beautifully printed cards instead of e-mailing or texting friends and family, you will want to peruse our vast collection of discounted notecards—everything from the Brontes to beach parties to lavish images from Russia's Hermitage Museum to album covers of John Coltrane to images of African American "buffalo soldiers." Floral exotica, folk art critters, Inuit and Native American art, Impressionism, kimono designs, Kliban's cats, reproductions of art nouveau-era theatrical posters, Madonna and child images, landscapes, cartoons, Michaelangelo drawings, illustrations of Shakespeare plays, Japanese prints, vintage images of New York and Washington DC, Women Who Dared .... the list goes on and on!

The notecards are practical and beautiful. If you get to keep them for yourself the ones from the Hermitage or the Michelangelo works are like having a little art book at a bargain price. E-mail cannot compete with the grace and charm of a handwritten note on elegant paper.ReplyDelete

As a previous contributor noted the music and images in the main concert section of this live DVD are out of synch. To be more accurate, if you look closely, SOME of the images are out of synch. Hmmm.
Reading another contributor's comments about the annoyingly rapid shot edits made me think about the synch issue. I began to wonder if DT performed the show at least twice and spliced later shots from different angles into the "master" version. I conclude this because you'll see shots that are in synch cheek by jowl with shots that are hopelessly out of synch. In all honesty, if that is what the producers have done, they've made a pretty good job of it. The (yes, annoying) rapid edits whip through most of the dodgy bits so you don't notice them all that much.
I can only guess they've done this to give the show some pace and energy. Let's face it, the audience is definitely not involved and poor Mikael Stanne is having a hard time whipping the Polish punters into anything remotely resembling a frenzy. If you've seen DT live or flip to the bootleg sections of the DVD you'll see the band, and Stanne in particular, in their element. So the edits are there to give the main concert – shot in a TV studio for heaven's sake – a bit of kick.
Once all that is considered, you'd have to admit that the music in the main concert is first-rate. Tight as a fist and very well recorded. To get a bit of real concert vibe the bootleg sections, also shot pretty well and with decent sound, make up for the lackluster atmosphere of the main show. Better than most of the stuff on YouTube, at any rate.
All in all then, it's not a bad package. If you love DT this is a terrific "best of" collection and, as far as I know, the only DT DVD. As such it's definitely worth having, in my book.

America has a bad ache in its body politic. Nobody is sure whether the cause will fade away, linger on for three years, be drastically removed by a blunt legal instrument called impeachment, or yield to the less painful therapy of resignation. In the midst of such uncertainties, a measure of literary relief and historical perspective may be taken from the latest presidency book, this one by Arthur Schlesinger Jr.

- Title
- The Tape
- Directed by
- Matt Austin Sadowski
- Genre
- Drama
- Country
- Canada
Director Matt Austin Sadowski's short, which was presented at Cannes as part of Telefilm Canada's Not Short on Talent program, begins with a man digging through boxes in his attic to find a tape, and it is only when he finds it that the real problem begins. It's a VHS tape and he sold his player long ago. So he begins a journey across Toronto trying to find someone with the outmoded technology that will allow him to watch the tape. There is a funny encounter with a child, but Sadowski smartly avoids the temptation to let the material turn farcical. Instead, he has created a charming film with an ending that is perhaps too sentimental but nevertheless explores a theme we can all relate to, and all in a six-minute run time.
