Apple has been notoriously disinterested in Washington politics. But two decisions coming from the Obama administration in the past few days indicate that Washington is increasingly interested in Apple.
Apple got some good news this weekend when U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman stepped in and overturned a ban on the import of the iPhone 4 and the iPad 2. The ban was put in place by the U.S. International Trade Commission, which ruled that those Apple products violated standard industry patents held by Samsung.
The U.S. Trade Representative hasn't overturned an ITC decision since 1987. But a presidential administration can throw out a decision if it determines that it's in the best interests of the U.S. economy and American consumers.
At first glance, Froman's decision doesn't seem that significant. According to Carolina Milanesi, an analyst at Gartner, the ban only applied to iPhone 4s and iPad 2s using a particular technology largely available on AT&T and T-Mobile. The iPhone 4 still sells because it's cheaper than getting the latest version, but sales of AT&T iPhone 4s are only a bit over 1 million units a year. Milanesi says the iPad 2 hardly sells at all.
The U.S. Trade Representative may have been looking at the way Samsung was using its patents as a negotiating tactic with Apple. Last year, Samsung lost a big patent case to Apple. Unless it wins on appeal, Samsung is going to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. However, Samsung has some patents that are necessary for a lot of mobile communication devices like the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. It was those patents that were at issue in the ITC ruling.
In his letter overturning the ITC, Froman said Samsung was engaged in a "patent hold-up." Basically, Samsung was trying to get a very high price on patents that are essential to Apple and others who make wireless devices. To Froman it may have seemed that Samsung was trying to get revenge from Apple over its earlier loss.
In a statement, Apple applauded Froman for "standing up for innovation." But if the company was having a fuzzy moment toward the Obama administration, it didn't last long.
On Friday, the Justice Department handed down some pretty harsh punishment to Apple for its role in price-fixing e-books. Last month, Apple was found guilty by a federal judge of conspiring with publishers to raise the price of e-books. Under the Justice Department's proposed remedy, Apple will now face extra scrutiny when entering into agreements with suppliers of music, movies, TV shows and other content that might raise prices for consumers: Every time Apple signs a new contract, it will have to demonstrate to a DOJ auditor that its action won't raise prices.
Google and Microsoft used to ignore lawmakers in D.C. But both ended up being scrutinized for their business practices by antitrust regulators. Now, these companies no longer sit around waiting on Washington to act.
Last year, Politico reported that Google and Microsoft spent $7 million lobbying Congress. Meanwhile, Apple spent about $500,000 — and that's less than the year before. Over the weekend, the long arm of the Obama administration reached out into the offices in Cupertino. And you have to wonder if Apple isn't thinking it better start reaching back.
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
I'm Audie Cornish. And it's time now for All Tech Considered.
CORNISH: We start with Apple. It scored a big victory this weekend in its ongoing patent war with Samsung. The Obama administration overturned a ban on imports of the iPhone 4 and the iPad 2 that had been imposed by the U.S. International Trade Commission. The last time an administration overturned an ITC ban was in 1987 under President Ronald Reagan.
NPR's Laura Sydell joins me now to discuss this rare move. And, Laura, first, why was this ban imposed, and why did the Obama administration overturn it?
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: Well, it was imposed because Apple didn't want to pay the price that Samsung was charging on certain patents. And the Obama administration - in fact, any administration - has a right to step in and overturn a decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission, though it is very rare. In this case, Michael Froman, who is the U.S. trade representative, said after consulting with various parties, he decided that the potential harm of this sales ban would be significant to consumers and the U.S. economy.
CORNISH: But we're talking about, you know, the iPhone 4 and the iPad 2, these are older models of these products?
SYDELL: That is very true. They are older models. Not only are we talking about older models, but in this case, it only affects products sold by AT&T. So I spoke with an analyst who said Apple hardly sells any iPad 2s anymore, and it only sells about one million AT&T iPhone 4s. So the appeal of that product, however, is on the lower end - people who can't really afford the most expensive and newest Apple products.
I think the ruling had more to do with a concern that Samsung was using what are essentially industry standard patents to hold Apple hostage. You know, anyone who uses a mobile tablet and connects wirelessly is probably using technology that follows these standard patents. And as you know, Samsung lost a big patent case to Apple last year, and it has to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. So there's some sense that Samsung may be using these patents to get back at Apple.
CORNISH: Will this affect other companies?
SYDELL: As a matter of fact, it likely will. For example, Dolby Industries and Qualcomm also have these kind of standard patents. And this may affect the price they're going to be able to charge people to use those patents. That could be good for consumers. It could bring down the price of a lot of devices.
CORNISH: So politically, should Apple take today's move as a sign that the Obama administration is on its side?
SYDELL: Ah, Washington giveth and taketh away. Meanwhile, Apple lost an antitrust suit last month over e-Books, and the Justice Department just announced what it would like Apple to do in order to make up for this. And the DOJ is saying: Apple, from now on, when you are negotiating with anyone in your iTunes store - that means TV, film, anything - we want you to report back to us.
So in that sense, I think Apple is probably not so happy with the Obama administration.
CORNISH: That's NPR's Laura Sydell. Laura, thank you.
SYDELL: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

**EDIT** below are only SAMPLES of the Pure Luxe eyeshadows, CORINNE mentioned they don't look like there's a lot, but below are the samples so if you order the 5gram jar of any color, that's a good amount, AND a little goes a long way, I have used the samples 4 times already and as you can see I STILL have a lot!
Here is a look I did using some of my favorite eyeshadows from Pure Luxe, "Amethyst" and "Bad Girl". I also used my Fafi blush in "Hipness", and at first I also used the "Fun N' Sexy" lipstick but it was bit too overpowering for the eyes (in person) so I opted for MAC Slimshine in "Intimidate", it looks brighter in these pics, but it's a lot softer in person...
I also used "Cash Flow" PP (paint pot), but you can't see it. :(
***I had questions regarding how to foil pigments (apply them wet) so that they adhere longer as well as adding a lot of vibrancy, so I will do a tutorial on these hopefully tonight.
What I used:
- Sue Devitt Face Primer
- MAC StudioFix Concealer in NC30
- Silk Naturals Mineral Foundation
- MAC Blush from the Fafi Collection in "Hipness"
- MAC Paint Pot in "Soft Ochre" all over lid
- MAC Paint Pot in "Cash Flow" all over lid
- MAC e/s in "Mancatcher" as base on lower half of the lid
- Pure Luxe Eyeshadow in "Amethyst" applied wet all over lid until the crease
- Pure Luxe Eyeshadow in "Bad Girl" applied 3/4 of the way towards the outer-V
- MAC e/s in "Knight Divine" and Milani e/s in "Storm" on outer-V and to deepen the crease
- NYX Dark Shimmery Purple from the "Lake Moss" Palette on outer-V
- MAC e/s in "Rondelle" as highlight
- Indelible Gel Eyeliner in Black Out
- L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara
- MAC "Violet" Pigment on lower lashline (applied wet)
- MAC Slimshine in "Intimidate"
- MAC Lipglass in "Negligee"

Mandy- Awww thank you mama! You are the sweetest! :)
Xuanie- Thank you! I know purple is one of my favorite colors!
Sheila- Thank you gorgeous! I love all shades of purple!
Thushaa- Thank you! Hope you are having an awesome weekend!
Mandy- I have not shipped out the samples yet, did you get my email? I was short on jars so I ordered new ones which should be arriving soon (hopefully this coming week) and I will send it out then, and yes you will get tracking info! Sorry for the delay!
Corinne- The put a decent amount after all they are SAMPLES that I got, those are not the full sizes, and a little goes a LONG way!
Gezebel- HAHHAHAHA aren't we all enablers???? LOL. None of us help each other out with this addiction! hahaha, I know I need to seek some help, LOL!
Lurve- Thanks! Hmm I would say Violet, Grape, and Viz-a-violet pigments are the closes to these shades of Pure Luxe. HAHAHAHAH and I totally know what you mean about "hiding your purchases", LOL, I gotta do it ALL THE TIME! HAHAHA
Kimberly- No I used Cash Flow, the goldish/green, I used it as a base for a neutral shimmer on my brow bone (that's why I mentioned you can't see it) esp. since I put "Rondelle" e/s over it...but I originally used it to give some shimmer to the lids....
Liz- Thanks lovely!

(Let's pretend I got an email from a fan asking me what to do with leftover BBQ chicken? OK? Cool. )
buffalo chicken salad
buffalo chicken salad
print recipe
Please note these measurements are to my liking; you may need more or less depending on likeness on level or heat and/or mayo. Also if you don't have as much leftover chicken you might need to scale down. As with anything, it's best to taste test as you go along.
Leftover BBQ chicken (about 2-3 breasts), cold & chopped
¼ cup red onion, chopped
½ cup or more of broccoli slaw (you can use regular cole slaw too)
3-5 TB Hellmans mayo
¼ cup (or more) blue cheese, chopped
2-4 TB hot sauce
Salt & pepper to taste, if needed
Lettuce for decoration and/or extra crunch
Chop up leftover BBQ chicken. In a bowl mix the mayo, hot sauce, blue cheese crumbles. Taste and see what it needs. Add in the red onions and chopped chicken, then the broccoli slaw. Mix well.
Serve on lettuce or rolls.

Whoa-this looks incredible! I have to grill some chicken just so I can make this. That's how much I want it!ReplyDelete
How fun! I wonder if greek yogurt could work instead of the mayo? Looks so delicious! Heat wave? We've been rocking around 90 degrees for weeks now down here...I'm wondering how our grass is going to survive!ReplyDelete
This looks absolutely yummy! I'd buy a whole roasted chicken at the market just to make this. Better than firing up the stove or oven. Thanks for this one.ReplyDelete
Oh mylawd, that looks incredible! Yum!ReplyDelete
Hi there!ReplyDelete
I was wondering if I could include this recipe on my Father's Day round up. It looks oh so yummy!! If you could let me know by tomorrow that would be great. I am going on vacation Sat. Love love your site!!
email: email@example.com
blog: www.madefamousby.blogspot.com
um yes, this will be made in our kitchen SOON!ReplyDelete
yum! this looks so good dawn! it was humid as heck here in michigan too...this looks perfect for those "i am so not cooking...." nights!ReplyDelete
Ick, I agree about TJ's mayo. I had to give a whole jar (minus a tablespoon) away - couldn't stand it. But fortunately I now have Hellman's, and some blue cheese in the fridge, and this will be on the table tonight!ReplyDelete
I am really wishing I could have this for dinner tonight - yum!ReplyDelete
I'm the same way -- cannot stand the thought of eating, let alone cooking, in the hot/humid weather. This salad looks perfect.ReplyDelete
OMG....the picture itself is GORGEOUS...but I'm ready to taste it!ReplyDelete
I'm still drooling over the teriyaki beef strips. Geez.ReplyDelete
This is NOT your everyday chicken salad. What a killer recipe! Your mayo photo nearly did me in. How about that over some lettuce?
No heat wave here yet. la la la. Love June Gloom! I also love the sound of this chicken salad!ReplyDelete
Heat wave? No this was worse than a heat wave. This was the Amazon.ReplyDelete
But the thing is, so long as you're already sweating, you might as well consume mass amounts of buffalo sauce! Yum.
umm, i'd make bbq chicken just to make this. seriously, i want one of these sandwiches for dinner. now. do you deliver??ReplyDelete
i never order buffalo chicken salad or make it but whenever i taste it i like it!ReplyDelete
This is definitely a perfect hot-weather meal! It was awfully hot here outside of Boston as well... I made regular chicken salad last night, but this would have been even better!ReplyDelete
Oh that looks good. What a great use for some leftover chicken.ReplyDelete
Holy crap, that's a great idea! I recently did buffalo mac and cheese, but I never thought to do salad with it.ReplyDelete
Yum! I love that you used broccoli slaw - I am currently obsessed with it. And, no need to note suggested use of Hellmans - that is the only mayo in my world!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!! I will be linking you up!!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for offering to tweet to your fans!! That would be wonderful!! I am following you on twitter. (My twitter name is FoodMadeFamous.)
Just found your blog & I think I've entered Foodie Heaven.. I could live here forever :)ReplyDelete
Man, I SO want this for breakfast... but alas, I just started doing Weight Watchers again. BOO.ReplyDelete
Nice job! That really looks good.ReplyDelete
Hellmens is the only mayo for me! Yummy salad. I love me some BBQ chickenReplyDelete
I like your twist on the chicken salad. My dressing is usually only mayonnaise but I think I would love your.ReplyDelete
clever use of leftovers, dawn! and while we're pretending, i'll pretend mayo doesn't give me the heebie-jeebies. :)ReplyDelete
- Mariah6/16/11, 2:46 PM
I made this and it is so good and strangely addictive. I originally made it only for my H...to take to work but I found out that I liked it too! I did use a rotisserie from the store since we didn't have any leftover chicken hanging around. Plus it was ON SALE! Yay!ReplyDelete
I love your version of chicken bread rolls and the spicy creamy sauce rocks!ReplyDelete
OMG, that sandwich looks to die for! I love your salad. *drool*ReplyDelete
To me that is one perfect mealReplyDelete
Looks even better than I originally thought. I was expecting shredded chicken, hot sauce and mayo and nothing else.ReplyDelete
I'd love to try this.
Ok - so now that you are making me want to go to Cape Cod, when I do go, are you going to make me this sandwich.ReplyDelete
I am so addicted to 'buffalo chicken'! Bookmarked!ReplyDelete
Yeah I don't have any leftover chicken, so I'm just gonna have to cook some especially for this dish! Holy salivation!ReplyDelete
I so envy you... love the pictures of the beach...ReplyDelete
Fancy way to use leftover chicken. Looks delish.ReplyDelete

The Original All-Urethane Aircraft Covering System
System 7 → Epoxy Wood Catalyst Qt
Price: $48.73
The SF920 epoxy wood varnish catalyst has a 1:1:1 mixing ratio with the SF90 epoxy wood varnish and any of the 7800-series reducers.
Thoroughly read and understand all product instructions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or your airplane could be deemed unairworthy by the FAA.
When using the Superflite chemicals:
Wear protective clothing. Failure to wear protective clothing may result in skin irritation, burns or rashes, as well as damage to the clothing.
Wear protective gloves. Failure to wear protective gloves may result in skin irritation, burns, or rashes. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching other areas of the body, other people, or areas of the coating that may be sensitive to foreign substances.
Wear eye protection. Failure to wear eye protection may result in serious injury or blindness. Always have eye wash available.
Wear a dust mask. Inhaling fine dust, airborne particles, and chemical vapors may result in respiratory problems.
With some of the Superflite chemicals (the epoxy primer, epoxy varnish, fabric primer, and topcoat) it is necessary to wear a fresh air breathing system. Failure to do so when spraying the mentioned substances may result in injury to the eyes and/or respiratory system.
Note: You must use a ventilated spray booth for spraying all primers and paints containing isocyanates.
Protective Gear
One of the most important questions to address before recovering the airplane is: what protective clothing and gear do you need? During the process of recovering your plane, you will be using potentially dangerous chemicals. The correct protective apparel is essential for minimizing health risks and for creating a safe work environment. Consider using the following protective items during the recovering process: respirator system, invisible or latex gloves, safety goggles, and Tyvek suits.
Return Goods
Returned goods must have been originally purchased from Superflite and returned to us in new unopened condition, in their original packaging within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.
Please package the return goods in a proper shipping box to protect the integrity of the original package and items.
All returned goods require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) be issued in advance of the return. RMA's can be obtained by contacting a Superflite Customer Service Representative. Items returned without an RMA will not be processed and will be returned to you at your expense. You MUST call Superflite before returning anything.
All returned goods are subject to a restocking and handling charge of up to 25%.
If the parts or products were "Special Order" the return is subject to the manufacturer's willingness to accept the product back. The return is also subject to any manufacturer's handling charge plus a restocking fee.
All Superflite paints/topcoats are mixed as ordered. If a color other than those offered on the
Superflite color chart is ordered and mixed, it cannot be returned, nor will it be refunded. If there
is a discrepancy with the color ordered and received, it must be reported within seven (7) days for a return or refund to even be considered.
No restocking fee will be charged on returns resulting from our error. All return freight must be prepaid.
If returned goods are lost or damaged in transit to Superflite, you must submit the claim against your carrier.
Any warranty covering products sold by Superflite is that of the manufacturer, Superflite.
Manufacturer's items purchased through Superflite may be processed through Superflite.
Any non-compliance or usage of a Superflite product in a method not approved by Superflite voids all warranties, expressed or implied.
All warranty claims require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) be issued in advance. RMA's can be obtained by contacting a Superflite Customer Service Representative. Warranty claims without an RMA will not be processed and will be returned to you at your expense. Please include the RMA with your return copy of the invoice or packing list.
All Superflite chemical or "wet goods" orders ship ORMD via UPS Ground. Superflite will NOT ship any "wet goods" via air freight or USPS.
Fabric and tapes will ship via the method of the customer's choosing. The only exception is USPS – the fabric cannot ship via the Postal Service because of sizing regulations.
International Shipping
Superflite will ship into Canada via UPS Ground. With all other countries, Superflite will ship product to a freight forwarder (of the customer's choosing) within the US. Superflite does not provide any kind of HAZMAT declarations for overseas shipping.

How about break it down from economic class, poverty,and city population?
Then, lets not look at crimes of desperation. Lets look at all crimes and break that down by race and ethnicity.
Stop trying to shape the world into your very own picture of it.
They don't put a Wall Street criminal on tv when he steals a beer from a gas station. He steals a million and it's not news. Let a urban minority rob a store, and it fits your picture of the world.
Let a white guy get caught having sex with a minor like Peter Privateer and you think it's at abortion.
Lets break Priest screwing young kids down by race and ethnicity? Is that a declaration of the value of your race?

Crime is reported--just like you hollar when somebody does you wrong. So look who is reporting crime in their neighborhood and where did the person committing that crime live?
Quit blaming race--blame the individuals and stop playing games in court. 3 burglaries or robberies and you is permanently locked away. A condition of release for the first offense should be a GED. And condition for second offense, a 2 year college degree.
No excuses or if and or buts.
Be it black, white, red or brown, everybody can learn and respect others and their property.
Failure to do so has nothing to do with your past, that is simply a crutch or excuze for not taking responsibilty for your own actions.
Hint: Nobody wants to service time for what his daddy or mommy did. You are your own man or woman.

Why Hairdressers Need a License
Skin allergy test: to be performed 48 hours before each use of this product,
Nah, does anyone actually ever do this? Who wants to wait 48 hours? I continued reading.
Even if you have already used this or another haircolor product.
Eh, I'm sure it's no big deal if you've had your hair colored in the past. I can just skip this part. I continued.
"Severe reactions"? Oooo that doesn't sound good. Maybe I really should do an allergy test. Then again, I DO have my Epi-pen.... Let's throw caution to the wind and slap the stuff on my head.
So, I followed the rest of the directions, mixed the dye, slathered my hair, piled it on top of my head and waited 25 minutes.
I rinsed and conditioned and towel dried. Then I looked in a mirror. OK, it looks plain brown. Plain is fine. It looks pretty close to my natural color. Well, as far as I remember. It's been a while since I've seen my natural color. I parted my hair to see if it covered the gray.
OH. MY. GOSH. Well, the gray was covered all right. It was covered with a funky orange color! Why are my roots orange?! This box does NOT show a model with orange roots! I looked at the directions again. 25 minutes. It said 25 minutes. I waited 25 minutes. WHY IS MY HAIR ORANGE?! Excellent. Hallmark can change the title of the article to CarrotTop: The Mom, The Myth, The Legend.
Maybe if I just change my make-up, no one will notice the orange in my hair. Yeah, like maybe if I do my make-up like this...
Or perhaps like this...
Maybe, just maybe, that'll distract people from the wreck that is my hair. Ugh, I give up. Baseball caps are making a comeback, right?
And check out my review blog HERE for a chance to win a crate of Clementines from Spain!

actually I feel responsible for this. I thought about giving you a hard time last night when you said on FB that you were going to do it on your own.

Wow! Maybe I SHOULD be doing those 48 hour tests, huh? Who says your blog isn't informational??? LOL Will you be able to get it fixed in time for your pictures for Hallmark? Also, what month is this article going to run?
Thanks for the picture of Bozo right before I go to bed. I just HATE clowns!!!!

Been there, done that...though I dyed my hair purple...yeah, last time I used a box.
I think you shoul go for the Bozo makeup! :)
- January 9, 2009 at 9:53 PM
OMG!!! Tried to do my own hair ONE TIME and after calling the 800 # screaming that it was burning my hair off the lady calmly asked me if I had done the skin test 48 hrs. prior...I promptly hung up. Needless to say, NO!!!! Who woulda thought they meant that? Lucky for me, my hair was not auburn based so it didn't turn orange.
- January 9, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Hmm, sometimes there are instructions to leave the dye on longer if you want to cover gray. I know that Garnier has this in their instruction list, not sure about others. And no, never done the allergy test. I figure I'd have a pretty decent looking bald head. :)
- January 9, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Haha, oh dear!
I usually colour mine with box dye and my natural colour is a mousy grey/blonde so i leave it on a little longer that stated.
Although this time round i picked a dye that was too light so the roots did come out a little ginger. I'm just re dying mine with the next shade darker.
Also, a clown warning next time would be great!!

Freak that I am having never colored my hair... no way would I do an allergy test. Whatever! I can't wait 48 hours once I decide I need a new hair color.
But ummm, really, Dawn, no pic? Pretty please?

This is why I gave up on hair coloring. Until I forget again.

I accidentally turned my hair orange once, trying to remove red dye which also accidentally only covered half of my then-blonde hair.
I went to the hairdresser in tears the next morning with orange, red, pink, and blonde hair. She almost cried looking at me.
But, she did fix it!
- January 9, 2009 at 10:38 PM
- Julie Sturgeon said...
Oh, I'm sure it's nothing that $200 at a salon won't fix.
Last month, I had my stylist perm my hair in anticipation of adding hair extensions. (Don't go there. They look great, but only if you can stand the hassle. I had my husband take them out just before New Year's using pliers from the garage.) She actually missed a strand, so I did it myself with one of those home kits.
Yah, now I have one section that looks much bouncier than the rest of my head. I'll never try to work with my own hair again. (Until the next time I get cheap.)
- January 9, 2009 at 10:53 PM
- Feisty Irish Wench said...
I'm a Garnier girl myself..and was using a color that was reddish brown, but after several uses it seemed to leave my hair with purple tones in it, when I wanted red. This time, I got a brownish red so it would be closer to my natural haircolor. No purple this time as far as I can tell.
- January 9, 2009 at 11:47 PM
Look at that positive.... no allergic reaction!! :)
- January 9, 2009 at 11:48 PM

I color my own hair about 4 times a year. I never do the test. I always feel like my scalp is disintegrating. One time my hair ended up with a pinkish tint in the sun. Ick. A close friend of mine who likes to be platinum blond once ended up light blue. Not good.

I had to laugh about your orange roots. Reminded me of when I did mine and used ash blond instead of beige blond to tone down the brassy look. My hair came out a pale blond with a greenish cast to it, so it was 'wrap a scarf around your head and book it down to the nearest drug store and buy another color, and end up spending as much as if you had just made the appointment and let them do it to begin with!' Other than my hair being stiff as hay and needing a special moisturizing treatment on my next salon visit, it went pretty well I think, although the Bozo picture is how I felt it looked only without the red. Oh, and thanks for that, by the way. Ever since I first saw that face I can't get the theme music for the old Bozo TV show out of my head. Maybe I'll be able to make it go away if I read for awhile before going to bed.
Good night all! ;)

Oh, don't feel bad about that test thing. My mom IS a hairdresser & owned her own salon. When I first wanted to do my own hair, I told her about the allergy test & she LAUGHED at me & called me a cry baby. I've never used the allergy test. It's been years & no problems yet. Well, I've had color problems, but nothing else usually. :)

There are several factors that can cause this.
The product was out of date
You're pregnant. Pregnancy messes with the hair and can turn it a rainbow of colors.
It could've been left on longer.
Beauty schools usually do color fairly cheap, and if you have a sally beauty supply near you, you can get the stuff and mix your own. You get a tube of color, volumizer (it should be near the color) and the essentials (bottles, brushes, a mixing bowl.) IF you do opt for this, get 20 volume for darker color.

Dawn, I feel your pain. I dyed my hair orange from roots to tips about a week before a huge family reunion.

Oh dear, I did the same thing. The dye had a chemical reaction with dye already in my hair...my hairdresser fixed it for me as I simply could NOT go around like that! PIC!

If it's too awful there's a product called "Goof Off" or something like that which will remove the latest hair coloring only. I used it once (long story) and my hair actually looked better than before I colored it! I found it at our local drug store in the hair color aisle. Good luck!
- January 10, 2009 at 7:38 AM
I have so been there. In an attempt to color my greys I too chose a neutral color and wound up with my normal color with orange streaks where the grey used to be. They need to put THAT warning on the box.

Just this week I DIY'd my own color for the first time. Had identical mental response to allergy warnings! Thankfully I was quite pleased with the color. I figure if I could DIY every other time I could save a few bucks. The color was on sale for $5.99 w/ free labor, and the stylist would have charged at least $40. Worth the risk at my house.

I've colored my hair before and only once did i look like bozo the clown...I'm blond, and am starting to get gray, but its mixing with the blond so well, I don't think i'll color my hair anymore, lol.

OMG!! I have been coloring my hair for years now. I only had one time where it turned my hair a strange shade of kinda orange red... I threw on a hat and got to the CVS.. they have hair dye removal... and I then redid it the color I wanted. How about a picture of your hair?
- January 10, 2009 at 9:05 AM
what brand did you use? Just so I can (hopefully) avoid that issue for myself. I NEVER do the allergy test and I've been coloring my hair for 10+ years. I haven't seen my natural hair color since high school, I don't honestly know if I have any grey hair yet b/c I color it every month LOL. I'm sure I do though, I am a mom after all. :-)

I'm going to change the subject and I don't usually read the comments left so I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this...have you heard about CPSIA HR4040. It's a law that is due to go into affect Feb 10, 2009 and will basically put small business/handicrafts out of business and won't really affect the big business--such as walmart, target, etc. This won't just affect buying a handmade dress for your daughter but it also affects books, and handmade toys, etc.
If you go to the comment part of the above post, there is a comment by a poster called "Luminous" titled "lets not turn this into a Walmart war" who explains what will happen to the small business owners.
I'm hoping that if you feel how unwise this law is that you would post this on your site. You have so many readers it would really get the word out.
I am not a seller of handicraft items, but I do have 5 kids and I prefer to buy these kinds of items then things made in china.

Hey, Dawn, I had a question. I just recently saw your "purse dump" post and I saw that you have a bunch of lip glosses. I can't find a good one that I actually like; what's your favorite type? I like the basic Chap Stic type things, but most of them have a strange flavor or dry my lips up worse than ever.

So you're not gonna show us what it really looks like?
Well, at least you took the cheap way out. I paid to have mine done yesterday, and then we decided to difuse it for something different. Little did I know I have natural wave in my hair and WOW!!! IT CURLED FROM HERE TO HIGH HEAVEN!!! OMG!
PS--When's Lunch? Next FRIDAY I HOPE?!?!?!

I've done the same thing. I have never done an allergy test and used the same box for many apps. One time (and the last) it did the same thing to my roots. My hubby laughed at me and my son called me a clown for weeks.

Yilkes! I was going to color my hair myself, but may not now!! That happened to my mom this past summer, she went for blonde like always, same box, same brand ect... it turned her hair SILVER!! She was trying to color the grey not make it bright SILVER!! Too it over 3 months to get it to be a brassy blonde. Hopefully you can get it fixed!
- January 10, 2009 at 5:40 PM
- noexcuses said...
Oh, I so feel your pain!!! Go get it fixed by a professional...it's worth the extra $$.
After 15 years of coloring I finally gave up and let the darn grey grow in. I got lucky...it's an okay white/grey mix.
Would really love to see a pic, tho!
- January 10, 2009 at 6:23 PM
I had some lovely red highlights put in a couple of years ago (professionally) and was told that it might look strange on the grey ones b/c grey hair takes color differently. I don't have many grey hairs (still a young chick here) but the ones I did have at that time were striped like a barber's pole! I pulled those suckers out!
- January 10, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Not trying to hijack your blog Dawn... but I just wanted to reply to kaylene's remark about CPSIA HR4040... there has been some clarification that basically says it is ok to sell or resell baby and children's items unless you are knowingly selling something that either has lead or is "likely to have lead content". In that case you are liable.
- January 10, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Sorry to keep on about this. But I wanted to clarify Erica's comment. I went to the link she posted and it only says that resellers do not have to test. I assume that means that people making handmade items to sell on the internet or craft stores etc, are still responsible to test for lead even if they use american made products.
- January 10, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Baseball caps are good. Shaving your head is better! NO Maintenance at all. Had mine shaved last week because my hair started to fall out from chemotherapy treatments. I was depressed at first, but now it's not so bad. BALDIES RULE!
When I returned two unused boxes of haircolor to the store, the clerk asked why I was returning it. When I told him it was because my oncologist said I won't need to color my hair for awile, the clerk looked at me, and in all seriousness said, "That's probably a good thing, honey, because coloring your hair gives you CANCER!" DUH! (comment - that's not a proven fact)
- January 11, 2009 at 7:34 AM
Hi Dawn, I am a hair designer as you might remember. I have never done an allergy test on my clients and all is fine. The only thing I find about hair colour is it can make your scalp ITCH! I found the best store bought box colour is Natural Instincts. It has no ammonia and is kinder to your hair. Just make sure you put it on your roots first if you are trying to cover grey. I leave it on my roots for 20 min and pull it through the ends for 15 min more. If it's any help red/orange washes out really fast. Kristine in Michigan.

At least your roots aren't that grown out. Last year I dyed my hair a slightly darker brown... then a few months later dyed it a little lighter. Well then I left it alone for about 3 months & decided to die it again... I ended up with almost 3" of an orange-ish light brown colored hair with an unchanged barely dark brown hair! I didn't have the money to get it fixed in a salon so I had the neighbor dye it back to a medium much less noticeable brown & left it for 6 months until I decided I was tired of long hair anyways!

- Lorna said...
I'm pretty sure that 48 hour test is just a scam to make you buy 2 boxes of color. The dye stops working within 30 min or so after you mix it, so if you do the test you need to throw out the excess and buy another box to do your hair 2 days later.

Paula Deen is getting a raw deal for using the n-word 27 years ago ... at least that's the opinion of none other than Rev. Al Sharpton.
We asked Sharpton -- a renowned figure in the Civil Rights movement -- if Paula should be forgiven, and he was somewhat sympathetic, saying ... "A lot of us have in the past said things we have regretted saying years ago."
The Rev. added Paula should instead be judged based on the outcome of the current lawsuit ... from a former employee accusing Paula and her brother of using offensive language.
"You can't deal with what is fair and not fair till we see the outcome of the present circumstances she's accused of ... not something 20 years ago."
Sharpton also addresses another hot button racial issue ... fried chicken.

How are things going with you and Joe? I would love to hear how everything is at your house and how I can pray for you both and the kids specifically.
Things suck, but I'm doing what I have to do for me and the kids. But it's ok because God is amazing and can use any situation for good.
How much one on one Mommy time does she [Brooklyn] have now?
We have all morning, just the two of us. Sometimes we run errands, sometimes we go to the library, sometimes we go back and snuggle in bed while watching Little Bear tapes. We always read 50,000 books and usually play dolls. She's very cuddly and sweet and I'll miss her when she goes to school.
Look at how organized your videos are! Was this the 30 seconds following straightening them? Mine NEVER stay that neat for very long!
Yeah, I'm a little insane about organizing stuff like that. The more things in my life that I can't control, the more obsessed I get about organizing my house.
Advice: How does one keep preschoolers from trying to sit on the bagging area. It's some sort of gravity field, some of impossible temptation....
Duct tape them in the grocery cart.
Dawn,they don't make half gallons of ice cream anymore.Lise
Of course they do. Every store I shop at sells store brands of ice cream in half gallon boxes.
Does your library have self-check?
I think so, but I've never used it. There's never a line to check out books, so I've not looked into the self-check there. The last time I was at my library, I grabbed my book off the shelf and signed it to the library! Hee hee
Speaking of, you can still get a signed copy of Because I Said So HERE.
How do you use your own bags in self check?
Honestly, the self check-outs I usually use are at Jewel (local grocery store) and they have a mini conveyor belt that leads to a bagging area (that isn't a scale). After ringing up my order, I just move down and bag my groceries in whatever bags I want to use. And unlike 98% of all humankind, I know how to use the order divider so the next person in line can start ringing up their order while I pack mine.
Dawn - I'm very excited to take my family to this amazing show [Zing Zang Zoom circus]. I'm having troubles entering the MOM code for the discount. Can you provide any more information as to which spot on the ticketmaster screen we enter this. I'm fairly computer savvy and have tried a few possibilities and it will not show the discount price. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Meghan would be happy to walk anyone through the process to ensure you get your discount. Feel free to email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We celebrated my oldest son's birthday this weekend. Well, at least some of us did. My mom is mad at me so she refused to come. Apparently she talked my grandmother out of attending as well. sigh The rest of us had fun though. Our close friends stayed late while we played Pictionary and Balderdash and had a terrific time. I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time. The kids were absolutely hilarious. It's nice now that most of them are old enough to join in the games.
Here's my big 15-year-old who now towers over me.
The 14 inch tall cake...
frosted orange...
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Austin thought the cake was cool, but didn't eat a single bite. He doesn't actually like cake. Maybe next year I'll decorate a cheesecake or a pie for him.
Austin didn't eat the cake, but as I sat here typing this, I noticed Clay get out of bed and walk through the kitchen 3 times. I finally went to see what his deal was and why he kept getting up to go to the bathroom. Know what he was doing? Every time he walked through the kitchen, he reached out and grabbed a handful of cake on his way back to bed. Stinker!
