Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-3/4")
MimiI Can Hardly Believe This!Ive owned this iron for about a week now (ordered it from folica.com) and I can hardly believe how straight my hair becomes with it! I should say that I have very thick, very full shoulder-lenght hair that is spiral-curly (so a little bit less curly on top, and very curly at the ends). It would always look so gorgeous when I had it blow-dried and I was always trying to get the salon look on a day to day basis, but I would never even get close (which isnt surprising, considering my blow-drying skills). With the Solia, I got great hair in under an hour *on my first try*! This was something I had never acheived even with 2 hours of blowdrying! My hair still looks better when done by a professional, but this iron has far exceeded my expectations.posted Oct 10, 2004Link to this post
AnnieNYOmg!this straightener is amazing.. i am on the swim team so my hair is pretty gross from 6 years of chlorine damage (i was in the pool today too cos im on my college team) and my hair is really dried out, frizzy, and extremely curly (like ringlets).. i usually straightened my hair with a gold iron and it made my hair even more frizzy and dry feeling.. after using this iron tonight my hair feels so soft and is so straight, shiny, and healthy looking. this DEF beats my $20 straightener that im gonna give away.. def worth the money.. i love it and highly recommend itposted Oct 8, 2004Link to this post
AngelaBostonDon't Believe The HypeI bought this iron based on the great reviews, however, this iron was a major disappointment. For $98.00 I want a flat iron that acutally grabs the hair when you use it. This iron does not do that. It heats up fast and will straighten your hair, but you have apply a lot of pressure and go over the hair several times for it to work. Would have been worth the money if it could grab the hair more tightly.posted Oct 7, 2004Link to this post
AnnaDallas, TXI Was Wrong About This IronI sent in a review just a few days ago stating that I was unhappy with my flat iron and that it was not worth the $98.00. Since I had only tried it once, I gave it another try and to my suprise, I loved the way it left my hair this time. Since then I have used it two other times and it leaves my hair straight and it is not frizzy and it is smooth and silky. I am not sure if I did not have it hot enough or what, but if you did not like the way it left your hair the first time, give it a second chance.posted Sep 27, 2004Link to this post
HannahAwesome Flat IronMy hair is extremely thick, curly, frizzy, etc. I used this straightener for the first time tonight and it was awesome. My hair is soo straight and frizz-free and it feels thin! It heats up soo fast too. One thing thats not good is the plates are a little unprotected so you might burn your skin a little bit. Otherwise, its awesome for anyone with unruly hair that wants it straight!posted Sep 23, 2004Link to this post
Jamie PetersenNew JerseySmoother And FlatterI used to have extremely curly, kinky, caucasian hair that I straightened daily with my Helen of Troy Ceramic Iron. I got it relaxed and my hair became a wavy, curly, frizzy mess. Easier to straighten, yes. By then all the ceramic had melted off my iron and I decided that it was time for a new one. I debated for awhile between this iron and the smaller version and ended up paying the extra 10$ for the larger one. It was worth it. I was slightly disappointed at first, expecting it to turn my extremely frizzy wavy hair into smooth and sleek in one stroke. It took several but not as many as with my old iron. After my whole head was straight I could see the difference. It is smoother and flatter than usual, and shiny without even putting the usual ton of products in. It is ubelievably soft, and I dont have to go back and restraighten it 3 or 4 times a day- 10 minutes in the morning and thats it. For the first time in my life, I actally thought my hair was TOO flat for a moment after I slept on it and ironed it again. I love the temperature control. And its easy to get close to the root of the hair without burning my scalp despite the larger size. The iron arrived in just two days. All over, it was an excellent purchase.posted Sep 22, 2004Link to this post
AnnaDallas, TXNot Worth $98.00I just got my solia and I am so unhappy with the results. It did not leave my hair any better that my Gold N Hot, which is only $35.00. The tips of my hair did not stay straight and an hour later I noticed my hair had some waves in it. I had to go over my hair several times and it did not even stay straight. I do not recommend this iron because I do not believe it to be worth what it is priced for. Trust me, save your money.posted Sep 21, 2004Link to this post
NicoleOntario, CanadaWow!Wow! i mean i have really long, thick hair and it was really straight. ok!!! i mean my hair has never been so stright! Its so smooth and shiny and like wow! i spent two weeks reserching on a flat iron and this is by far the best...I LOVE IT! If you want straight shiny hair then buy this..you won;t regret it.posted Sep 16, 2004Link to this post
LivHoustonI Love It!!Let me just say this is by far the best hair straightner Ive used. Much more sturdier than the CHI, its even better made. I live in Houston, its hot, humid and muggy all the time, but with the Solia no more frizzies or fly aways and my hair is silky smooth. I love it!! I have long, thick thick hair, when Im done straighting it, it looks wonderful. This is definitely in my opinion a much better buy than a CHI, which mine only lasted for about 7 months before it stopped working.posted Sep 9, 2004Link to this post
JuliaNew JerseyIt Was Great!it worked wondres on my hari no mroe flyaways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it only takes 10 min to straighten my whole wavy partialy thick hair! the only thing is it edosnt stay stick straight for hours, id say it stays stick straight and beutiful for 3 hours and after that it gets slightyl less stick striaght but still straight its more natural looking straight id say. all in all i am extemely pleased i still ahve to try it on wet hair!posted Sep 3, 2004Link to this post

I think that song sucks, BTW
I just remember working The Cranberries concert at The Backdoor at San Diego State in 1993.
I was House Manager (BMOC)
They were totally unknown at that point (mostly) and the lead singer stood with her back to the crowd most of the show.
She was very, very shy and had not developed her stage skills yet.
She was nice to me before and after, she liked my Irish family tree.
True story.
Rest in Peace my dear Christine, you will be missed.

Please note that instant upgrades are subject to seat availability and applicable upgrade restrictions*. Instant upgrades are not currently available to Skysurfers members.
Depending on the zones you are flying through and where you stopover or transit, it may be possible to upgrade just one section of your journey.
If you are travelling on a multi-flight journey where partial upgrading is allowed and you would like to use your Skywards Miles for an instant upgrade at the check-in desk, you will also need to make additional requests at any transfer desks or stopover destinations. Please ask for more details when you first check in.
Please note that on some multi-flight journeys, you will be upgraded only if seats are available on the entire journey. Please call your nearest Emirates Contact Centre regarding a specific booking.
If you upgrade online or at check-in you will receive the excess baggage allowance applicable to the class of your upgrade. Please read the FAQ to see where exceptions to excess baggage allowances may apply due to airport regulations.
If you are travelling on multiple flights during one journey, an upgraded baggage allowance only applies to the part of the journey that has been upgraded. On the other flights during the journey, you will need to either upgrade again or pay the extra fee for the heavier baggage.
If you have confirmed an upgrade at least 48 hours before you travel then you will be able to choose a meal from the menu in your upgraded cabin class. If you have upgraded less than 48 hours prior to your flight, or if you take advantage of our instant upgrade service at the check-in desk or on board, then we will do our best to accommodate you with a meal from the upgraded cabin class menu. If meals are not available, we will serve you your meal from the original booking class menu. Please note that this does not apply to special meals; for example, if you have ordered a vegetarian or gluten-free meal in advance, this will be served from the original booking class menu.
Due to the limited notice period of an instant upgrade, we are not able to offer this additional service. However, if you upgrade at least 48 hours prior to travel using our online Manage a Booking facility or through an Emirates Contact Centre, then the Chauffeur-drive service will be available to you.
You will need to have sufficient Skywards Miles in your account at the check-in desk or on board to get an instant upgrade. As Miles are only credited to your account after you complete a journey, we cannot factor in the Miles earned on the journey you are currently taking.
This is possible, but you cannot do this at the check-in desk. To top up your Miles for future travel please go to the Purchase Miles page.
An unaccompanied minor can be upgraded before a flight by using the online Manage a Booking facility. It is also possible to upgrade an unaccompanied minor if a relative, parent or guardian uses Skywards Miles from their own account to buy an instant upgrade at the check-in desk.

Yet another politician that learned NOTHING from Nixon.
Nancy Pelosi is a liar!
Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
NP says that in the 2002 meeting that she attended the agency described the procedure, but she didn't understand that it would be (or was being) used. She is either a complete idiot, lying beyond comprehension, or totally incompetent if she didn't understand the nature of the briefing.
More briefings were held, that by her own account, she did not attend. If that is true, why wasn't she in attendance? Wasn't it a part of her job and duty?
She is now accusing the CIA of lying to her. My personal experience in briefing congressmen and staffers tells me that this is highly unlikely. Again, in my experience, EVERY effort was made to ensure factual information was relayed in a way that it could not be misunderstood or misinterpreted. Also, why in the world would the agency lie to NP when it is not being disputed that other congressional members, dems and republicans alike, were being explicitly told that waterboarding was being used in some cases?
From the article:
"Pelosi contended that Democrats did what they could to stop the use of waterboarding. The senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, who received the 2003 briefing on the practice, sent the CIA a formal letter of protest, she said. "
"But Pelosi defended her own lack of action on the issue, saying her focus at the time was on wresting congressional control from Republicans so her party could change course.
"No letter could change the policy. It was clear we had to change the leadership in Congress and in the White House. That was my job the Congress part," Pelosi said."
I won't comment on the statements quoted above, but I will repeat: she is the poster child for term limits.

Performance of the A2 Technologies Exoscan:
• Exoscan provides the stability, sensitivity and overall performance to accomplish even difficult applications.
A2 Technologies years of experience in designing portable FTIR spectrometers enabled the development
of the miniaturized, yet rugged and high throughput Exoscan interferometer and optical system.
• Exoscan is a true mid-infrared spectrometer with a frequency range of 4000-650 cm-1 and a maximum resolution of 4 cm-1, enabling Exoscan to excel at virtually any applications that use solid, semi-solid or liquid samples. By minimizing the beam path while keeping a large beam aperture, Exoscan is very compact, yet has superior signal-to-noise.
• In addition, the sampling interfaces that are custom designed for the Exoscan are also designed to ensure the highest performance in the smallest package. Many of the applications below, which were originally developed on traditional lab FTIR spectrometers, are readily transferred to the Exoscan system. Exoscan's superior performance capabilities enable both methods developers and end-use operators to successfully use the system for their individual requirements.

"Alps" is a film peculiar beyond all understanding, based on a premise that begs belief. It takes itself with agonizing seriousness, and although it has the form of a parable, I am at a loss to guess its meaning. Yet I was drawn hypnotically into the weirdness.
Imagine a small group of therapists who call themselves "The Alps." They have been named by their leader, who explains that the title has no meaning. They hire themselves to people who have just lost loved ones. They impersonate those dead people as a way of bringing comfort to the bereaved. They don't necessarily look like the dead ones or sound like them, but they stand in for them a few hours a week, performing memorized dialogue that has presumably been supplied by the survivors.
Preposterous, will you agree? And yet their clients hire them and go along with the therapy. Not a single person in the film points out the absurdity of its premise. We don't get to know the clients very well, but we watch the Alps members as they train in an empty gymnasium. In particular, we follow a gymnast (Ariane Labed) and her trainer (Johnny Vekris), as they work on a routine involving her dancing with a long ribbon fluttering at the end of a baton.
She does this (very well) to classical music, but when she asks to change to pop music, he tells her he will bash in her face if she questions his authority. We find it is no idle threat. This brutal relationship has no apparent connection with the grief therapy of the Alps, which otherwise consists largely of memorizing dialogue.
Early in the film, a young tennis player (Maria Kirozi) is gravely injured in a car crash, and we learn that the paramedic is a talent scout of sorts, seeking likely victims who might supply Alps customers. Team member Monte Rosa (Aggeliki Papoulia) calls dibs on the tennis player; later she deceives the other Alps by claiming the player has recovered, and then taking on the parents as private clients.
How she behaves in this role confirms what we may have suspected, that being an Alps member and doing the job requires a degree of mental imbalance and can lead to therapists spinning out of control because of the tension between who they are and the job they're required to do.
"Alps" is the new film by the Greek director Giorgos Lanthimos, whose "Dogtooth" shook up Cannes in 2009. That was the film where control-freak parents contain their children within a walled garden and further isolate them from the world by teaching them the incorrect words for things. A Lanthimos film is like a test tube for life, in which the activity depends on what specific ingredients have been introduced.
Although "Alps" is provocative and challenging, it is so completely self-contained that it has no particular emotional payoff. There is no greater world in which to evaluate its contents. When mourners are comforted by therapists who propose to represent the loved one, you'd think deep feelings would be stirred up. But "Alps" has the effect of a sterile exercise.
