The UK's grocery retailers are widening their lead in yet another non-food market; health and beauty. In 2005 health and beauty expenditure through grocers was GBP800 million more than through specialists. According to Verdict Research, over the next five years grocers will gain a 50% share of the total health and beauty market, a fact the specialists should be taking seriously.
John Lewis may have been the leading name in the roll call of winners at last week's Verdict Customer Satisfaction Awards, but the Verdict poll of 5,900 consumers also revealed the winning retailers within individual sectors. Verdict's analysts give their insight into why these retailers stood out to their customers.
Since being bought by L'Oreal in July 2006, The Body Shop has performed well. Like-for-like sales increased by 9.7% in the six months to December 2006, masking even more impressive fourth quarter sales. This, combined with increasing profitability, means the health and beauty specialist is en route to becoming a thriving global brand.
The Body Shop has struggled over the past five years, with Verdict expecting its share of the health & beauty market to drop from 1.2% in 2007 to 0.9% in 2012. Continuing growth means opportunities remain in the market, but with an outdated brand and unexciting products The Body Shop has work to do.
UK health & beauty retailer Superdrug is to cut prices on famous brand cosmetics as part of a GBP250,000 Mother's Day price war. The move, which will see skincare products by Clarins, Clinique, and Elizabeth Arden given a discount of up to 60%, has the potential to attract market leader Boots' older, more affluent customers.
Superdrug will cut the cost of one health and beauty "essential" each weekend in the lead up to Christmas, according to the Daily Mirror. However, the offers are more likely to improve loyalty from existing customers than create a long term threat to rivals, including grocers and the merged Alliance Boots.
Superdrug's premium skincare and makeup brand, B, is pitched as offering premium products with simplified purchasing and accessible prices. Effective communication of its products' impressive test results should boost sales, but B's affiliation to Superdrug, a retailer associated with value ranges, means that non-Superdrug shoppers who want a premium beauty experience will need some convincing.
Rossmann, one of Europe's largest health and beauty retailers, has entered the Turkish market, opening two stores in the capital Ankara as part of a joint venture with local company PNR Group. The move is part of the retailer's strategy to enter less developed markets that offer strong expenditure growth, and will help to boost its surging international sales further.
Over the last 10 years, out-of-town has consistently outperformed both town center and neighborhood, with average annual growth of 2.5% between 2004 and 2009, compared with 1.4% for neighborhood and 0.2% in town centers. Verdict expects out-of-town to continue to outperform due to food & grocery reliance, its relevance as a click & collect point, and the entrance of new retailers to the sector.
Procter & Gamble has moved further into the world of luxury fragrances by agreeing to produce perfumes for Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. Despite this move into a highly competitive market, the combination of P&G's global reach with Dolce & Gabbana's marketable name will prove to be a lucrative one.

People Can Smell Your Personality
Other People May Be Able to "Smell" Your Personality

The team in charge of the experiment also found that the participants were particularly good at predicting how dominant members of the opposite sex were, suggesting that people may pay particular attention to this trait when looking for a partner (no word on smell and same-sex couples yet, unfortunately). It would be interesting, as well, to see whether the fragrance you wear may also help express your "smellable" traits, the way it's known to enhance your natural immune-system-related odor.

This is a subject that comes up often, and a few women in my bible study are the inspiration for this topic. I am fortunate to have a husband who is a believer, however, not all Christian women are. Some are married to non believers that support them, and other non believing husbands are not supportive.
Even though the bible states for a believer to marry a believer (2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?), that is not necessarily the case. We meet someone, we fall in love, we commit in marriage.
We are going to explore I Peter 3:1-6 3 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
Realize that God has made your husband leader of your family, Christian or not. You should never try to overrule his leadership in the household, even though he is a non believer. Even though he is not a believer in Christ, his judgment should not be thought of any less important or less worthy. Christianity never changes marriage and your love, affection, and obedience will be the best way of showing him the unmistakeable realism of God's love, faithfulness, and mercy.
Chaste is referring to your actions of behavior, and not just chastity or purity. Your actions as a Christian wife should always be respectful (and at times that is difficult, and we all falter in this area). You may be chaste in all aspects of your marriage, and at the same time there may be many other things, including actions and attitude which could damage the devotion to Christ, and possibly avert any impact to your husband and marriage.
The word fear could be talking about fear of your husband or fear of God. The trait character referred to here is respect and appreciation in all areas which you should continuously follow. One reference that I found which I found enlightening by Robert Leighton is "fearing the least stain of chastity, or the very appearance of anything not suiting with it. It is a delicate, timorous grace, afraid of the least air, or shadow of anything that hath but a resemblance of wronging it, in carriage, or speech, or apparel."
As far as arranging hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel, I, myself am unsure of how that can and does relate to us today. I am attaching commentary that I hope will be helpful not only to me, but whoever does read this: Geneva Study Bible: He condemns the unrestrained indulgences and excesses of women, and sets forth their true apparel, such as is precious before God, that is, the inward and incorruptible, which consists in a meek and quiet spirit. I hope that's helpful.
The important part is to see that the heart is right and the spirit adorned with all the graces of holy life. The ornament of a humble and quiet spirit. Look to see inward rather than the outward. It kind of reminds me of a movie I watched quite a few years ago and stuck with me. It was called "Shallow Hal". The movie featured Jack Black and Cameron Diaz. "Hal" played by Jack Black was a man who would look at the beauty of women from the outside rather than the inside. He randomly runs into a guy one day who puts some sort of trance or for lack of better word "spell" on him where he can longer see outer beauty, but inner beauty. His vision is physically altered. The women that he used to see that are beautiful on the outside, he visually saw them as being ugly because inside they were ugly, selfish people and women that were less attractive on the outside, he physically saw them as beautiful because on the inside they were kind, loving, real people. God sees us all the time 24/7. He is not concerned with the outer beauty that most of us women get caught up in. He cares about the inner beauty, the heart. Society today judges so much on material things and beauty, which in the end, it's all worthless.
Former times is referring to the wives of the Old Testament: Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Leah. All were wives who are examples of submission. This section explains simply that the women in those times trusted God and were submissive to their husband. For further reading on the historical women in the Bible, I highly recommend http://www.amazon.com/Women-Bible-Times-Every-Woman/dp/0785251480
Sarah showed devotion, respect and submissiveness to her husband, Abraham. Even when he had asked her to "pretend" that she was his sister and not his wife (so he would not be killed. Sarah was Abraham's half sister, same father , different mother), she obliged. Christian women should use Sarah as an example of being submissive and giving her husband the ultimate authority.

Ted Conover was a guest lecturer at SLC's Adult Writers seminar in June 2001. Conover, who has hopped trains with hobos and crossed borders with two-legged coyotes, is used to going incognito to tell a story. For his latest book, Newjack (winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction), he got himself hired as a guard at New York's Sing Sing prison, where he reported on the nerve-racking life of rookie correction officers ("newjacks") and their brethren within the normally hidden world of an American penal institution. Poet Thomas Lux has taught writing at the College since 1975, and is currently director of the Graduate Writing Program in Poetry. In 2001 Lux published his ninth full-length collection of poetry, The Street of Clocks (Houghton Mifflin). Conover and Lux recently sat down to discuss life "on the inside" for Sarah Lawrence magazine.
LUX: You do a kind of undercover writing. You're in the books, but you really write about the other, or others.
CONOVER: Right. All my books are first person, but all of them are focused on people besides me. What I write is a mixture of memoir and reportage that allows me to create a mood and establish a voice. Choice of subject is very important, and somewhere not too far behind comes my voice as a writer.
LUX: What made you need to take two or three years of your life, literally to risk your life, and become a prison guard?
CONOVER: Well, a couple of things. One was a general unease at the rapidly growing prison population over the last 25 years. The number of inmates in New York State has gone up by a factor of six since the early seventies. You have two important things happening in prison – massive incarceration, and a stereotyped group of working-class white men overseeing a population of, basically, inner-city people of color. Many state departments of correction act like their operations are top secret, and exercise complete control over access to the prisons. New York turned down my request to follow a recruit through the training academy. So, I thought, I'll bet – with the résumé of menial jobs I've performed over the years – I can get hired as a guard. And I did.
LUX: What did they want to know about your life?
CONOVER: I didn't list my books, but I told them everything else. The worst sticking point was a misdemeanor arrest in Denver in the '80s, when I was riding the rails and had a little argument with a policeman. They said, "We're not worried about that." Certain sins can be forgiven. They want to know about your credit card debt, figuring if you have a lot of it, you'd be susceptible to bribery. And they want to know if you have a temper problem, because if you do, you shouldn't work in a prison.
LUX: I taught at Sing Sing several times in the late seventies, and I always got incredibly thirsty – it was very hot. Someone told me they turn the heat up to keep inmates lethargic.
CONOVER: One day in October, when the heat came on, one of the inmates said, "Hear that? The steam's on. Same day they turn it on in the projects."
LUX: Probably my thirst was just nervousness, although I was never hassled by the prisoners. They were glad you were there. If anything, it got them out of their regular routine. Once I gave a guy an assignment and I said, "If you have time to do this, bring it next week." He said, "Time, man? That's all I got, man. Two to eight, two to eight. I got time."
CONOVER: They're grateful to teachers and other volunteers – and equally, they're antagonistic toward officers, which is frustrating if you come in with an open mind and a desire to treat people fairly. You are stressed by inmates all day, and they themselves are stressed by the conditions they live in. It's a hard place to find any peace of mind.
LUX: Did any officers read your book?
CONOVER: The officers I told seemed amused, or skeptical, or curious about what I would say. But none of them has given me any negative feedback. On the contrary, what I usually get is, "Well, finally when my wife says, 'What did you do today?' I have an answer, and it's your book." But the top-level administrators are angry because I snuck in under their radar. I'm glad I did. The subject needs the light of day. There's no justification for keeping journalists out. Newjack was banned in New York State prisons for six months, and now a censor in Albany rips out seven pages before an inmate can receive it. The book is contraband until these pages are torn out.
LUX: Are they consecutive pages?
CONOVER: No. They mostly have to do with the training process, things like the secret grips we're taught to thwart angry inmates. And there's a description of the yard where I worked every day and where an officer I knew was badly beaten by inmates. The tower in that yard is improperly placed to protect officers, and the officer was beaten up in an area that's beyond the approved range of the Department's rifle. They didn't think inmates should know that, so instead of moving the tower, they're tearing out pages from Newjack.
LUX: That's amazing. Have you heard from any guys inside who've read your book?
CONOVER: Just a handful, all of whom say they like it. I show officers often in a positive light, but also negatively, because they misbehave. And I misbehaved, which is how I feel I can justify describing other people who are doing the wrong things, too. I write about what it's like to hold back all day long. There's never a catharsis in prison, except for violence. That's the only release.
LUX: I've written about cops in San Diego, and they're convinced that locking up prisoners and keeping them there is the main reason that there's been a big crime drop nationally. Are you scared of our attitude toward just warehousing prisoners? Is the policy going to turn around and bite us in the face?`
CONOVER: Some of the drop in crime is connected to the increase in incarceration, but just a fraction — maybe a quarter. A greater factor was the booming economy. But it can't continue at this rate — we can't afford to spend so much money on something that's essentially damaging to people. Almost everyone comes out of prison worse than they went in, whether inmates or officers.
LUX: Most of the nonfiction that people are writing today is memoir. There was a time when you didn't write memoirs unless you'd been a general or a president. Now everybody and their brother seems to be writing one. Some of these books are terrific – and others are not.
CONOVER: I think it's peaked, though I'm aware of a couple of projects in the pipeline that are terrific. Many of the most important stories to be told are about people's personal lives, and there's still a fair degree of interest in that. Occasionally someone with an interesting life will also turn out to be a good writer. On the other side, some of the memoirs seem an extension of tell-all television programs. The challenge as a writing teacher is to focus on literary quality, and the art in the story, instead of sensationalism.
LUX: That's the art of telling. No matter how unique or good the story is, it's only compelling if the writer can engage you with the narrative. What I like about what you do is that you get to go out into the world, into other worlds, to be with regular people and write about them in nonfiction. Most of what I have to do as a poet is just in my imagination, in my head. Is curiosity – wanting to know stuff, to experience things – the bottom line for writers, particularly nonfiction writers?
CONOVER: Yeah. I think curiosity about the outside world is characteristic of almost all non-fiction writers, probably most fiction writers, and I'm sure many poets. The ability to leave home and travel, whether 20 miles to Sing Sing or 5,000 miles to Africa, is one of the things I love most about my work. You could say all writing is about travel, and all reading is about leaving where you are and going somewhere else.

From William Petruzzo, the Owner, Operator and Principal Photographer of Petruzzo Photography
As a child I was surrounded by beautiful photographs of my family created by my father, an enthusiastic hobbyist with an eye for composition and character. The images he created were a natural capturing of the essence of the personalities in our family. Because he liked us and we knew it, the smiles were real and the interactions were real. Those images are a priceless gift from my father, decades in the making, and are priceless to my sisters and me.
When I started Petruzzo Photography five years ago, I wanted to give my clients the same joyful experience in front of a camera that my sisters and I had. I wanted to create images that did more than put a person's face on a photographic print. I wanted to create images that would look great now, and still be treasured heirlooms in decades to come. There is only one way to do that—the images must be authentic, the people in them must be at ease with themselves and with the photographer, and they must be captured by someone enjoying the experience behind the camera as much as the subjects in front of it. This is still our goal. Every day, our customers tell us just how special the images we've created are.
We want your photographic experience to not only be something you enjoy, but something you'll remember fondly for many years. We consistently go out of our way to make this happen—whether it be by traveling a little farther to shoot in just the right place with just the right surroundings and background, or by helping you pick just the right image for your business card, engagement photo, Christmas cards, or those special 'just-because' photos.
But we'll even go further than that.
We freely admit that not every photographer is right for every person. While we would love having the honor of being your photographer, we know that each photographer's style is unique. If we're not right for you, we'll try to help you find someone who is.
We have one simple motto that we keep in everything we do.
"People first. People second. People third. Then everything else."
We enjoy our work and, as you may have seen from the galleries on this site, our clients have enjoyed their time with us as well. If you have not browsed our galleries yet, please do so.
Our Process
We try to be more than professional photographers. We aim to be friends and build meaningful relationships with our clients. For this reason, we keep our workflow carefully streamlined so that the right people are making the tough decisions about your images.
In most cases, the person you speak to on the phone will be the photographer who shows up to capture your images. That same person will be the one who combs through and picks the very best images. And that same person will be the one who designs your albums, Christmas cards or save-the-dates. Though it's challenging, we believe that there is no other way to ensure your images are organic and meaningful.
If you're unsatisfied for any reason, ask to speak with me personally, William Petruzzo, and let me find the best way to give you an excellent experience.
Who Are We
Petruzzo Photography is primarily operated by me, William Petruzzo. However, Petruzzo Photography also owes a debt of gratitude to the small team of photographers, interns and contractors who help keep the gears turning and help to deliver our customers the best experience possible. We are wedding and portrait photographers serving the Maryland, Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington, DC area.

Christian classes set up for home-schoolers, The News-Press, Fort Myers, Florida An educational concept aimed at home-school families will make its south Fort Myers debut when the new school year begins this fall.
The Southwest Florida Christian Community School will bring together families who home-school their children to meet three days a week for group classes led by qualified teachers, said Debbi Coe, the school's founder and administrator.
Coe, of south Fort Myers, said the school will offer a full academic slate consisting of all major subjects such as math, science, history, Spanish and Latin, language arts, logic and the Bible.
She said tuition for pre-K through eighth grade is $3,000 and for high school, $3,400. Registration for Pre-K to eighth grades is $200 and for high school, it is $275. Parents must pay the cost of texts and other educational materials, she added.
This is a private school that charges tuition. The clients could be anyone who desires a private school, not specifically 'homeschoolers,' which isn't to say that the school won't be useful for families whose children were homeschooled before becoming private school students.
Parents should use whichever kind of education best suits their children, but businesses riding on the coattails of homeschooling don't 'add to homeschooling,' they change it into something else. Whether this is a good thing is up to the discretion of the families enrolling their children in the school.

Latest Interview
Worldwide, there are about 150 million new businesses being started up each year.
With some startups being funded to grow as quickly as possible, many are interested in purchasing killer domain names so they can create a memorable brand. Noted venture capitalist Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures suggests to start-ups he invests in that they allocate $50,000 to buy a good domain name.
Is spending tens of thousands of dollars a smart investment for startups? That's the question we're going to answer on today's show.

For the past decade on DNJournal.com, Ron Jackson has tracked, analyzed and presented the most comprehensive and accurate collection of domain name sales data.

What are the best domain names to buy for parking, how can you maximize your return on investment when buying such names, and what is an appropriate return on investment for parking? These are but three of the questions answered in this week's show with Michael Gilmour.
An entrepreneur and investor, Gilmour started his domain name business by placing a big bet: his last $100 on a single domain name that he immediately parked. Learn how Gilmour parlayed his earnings from that single domain into a portfolio that at its peak generated thousands of dollars a day in parking revenue.

With domain parking revenue dying or dead, how can a domain name investor take their best asset and turn it into a lead-generation business?
Listen in as Adam Dicker, a recent inductee into the Domain Hall of Fame, shares his tactics for spotting opportunities and how he purchased a portfolio of cord blood bank domain names and built a lead-generation business on top of it.

In addition to owning what is now a portfolio of more than 5,000 — including 2,000 .us — domain names, Ron Jackson publishes the industry's leading trade magazine, DN Journal.

The widescreen experience is really catching up with people nowadays. Almost all computer monitor manufacturing brands have widescreen monitors in their product line up. The widescreen experience raises the viewing experience to an all-new level. People are more eager to watch movies on widescreen monitors so that the entire horizontal space can be used to the full advantage. However, the widescreen monitors need to be supported by the operating system also.
Nevertheless, operating systems like Windows XP support wide screen monitors but the operating system was designed to be much more user friendly in non-widescreen monitors. To optimize the settings for widescreen monitors, you need to make some changes in your system settings. Windows help guidelines given below can be made use of while setting your widescreen settings.
Steps Involved
- To make the changes, you will need to first access the Control panel, which contains all the configuration settings related to your system.
- To access the Control panel, click on the Start button. When the Start menu pops up, you will find the Control panel option; click on it.
- When the Control panel window opens, there is an option labeled Appearance and Themes. Click on that option to open it. There will be a list of icons present. Choose the icon named Display.
- Another way of opening the Display option is to right click anywhere in the desktop and a menu will appear. From the list of options present, click on the Properties option.
- Now the Display properties window will open up before your screen.
- From the tabs present choose settings. At the bottom left, their will a bar is present which represents the screen resolution and it can be adjusted depending upon the resolution required. Once the desired wide screen resolution is selected, click on the Ok button
- When you click on the Ok button, the monitor will blackout for a second and the screen will reappear with the new resolution.
- In addition, a window asking whether you want to stick on with the changes will be asked; click on OK.
Now the new widescreen resolution will come into play and you can have the finest widescreen experience from your monitor. If you require any help in configuring, you can contact the Windows help and support center to resolve all your doubts and queries.

I was skeptical about purchasing a synthetic wig, but i really like this one. The curls are very cute,they sort of look like spiral curls.Texture is natural, not too shiny like most synthetics.
I absolutely love my wigs! They're so easy to put in and they matched perfectly to my hair! Love it!
?Podían precisarme la fecha y hora de entrega?gracias
When I first received this lace, I was very disappointed because it was so kinky that I had to straighten it. But after I washed it, it was DEEP wavy. Deep meaning not straight or silky. Also this hair is extremely soft and I have washed it a couple of times..
the hair looks amazing and feels amazing shipment was fast! thank you !
I love my wavey wig I ordered from lacewigsbuy! I recieved a phone call as i requested when my order was shipped. I recieved my hair within 2 days!!!! I am very pleased!!! I will be ordering from Lacewigsbuy again!!!!!
I love this wig! The cap fits my head perfectly and the front and back combs keep it in place. The hair is so soft and the style is easy to maintain. I had to cut the bangs a little and finger-comb out some of the curls so that it's not so curly, but it really suits my face. Great quality for the price!
hi im a drag queen and i have many wigs from here its not as long as i thought but hey its a great looking wig lol still love it
I really love this. It is a cute wet and wavy half wig. It blends well with my 4a,4b textured hair. I blend w/Let's Jam extra hold or Fantasia IC gel w/sparklites. I really like wearing it w/headbands.
Beautiful color! This is actually my fist time buying wigs from your site. And I am very satisfied with the wigs. I'd like recommend the wigs to friends!
I was astounded when I took it from the packaging. It's easy to style, and very comfortable, as if you weren't wearing it in the first place!
Not to mention that it looks absolutely natural. Here's me wearing it in case you're not convinced
color is good ,really like haman hair and also like this wavy.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
This is the best wig I have ever owned. So cute and looks like real hair! Every time I wear it my friends ask to try it on and it looks adorable on everyone. Plus shipping was surprisingly fast considering it came from across the globe. I will totally shop with this seller again!!
I bought this wig for my teenage daughter, who likes to cosplay. The wig looks like the picture and she says the hair feels soft and nice. She has wore it a few times and no cons so far.
I just received my piece today and I really like it. I think it fits my face pretty good. I really like the way its wide and full as a ponytail.
I bought the loose wave and I am lovin it. When I first recieved this hair; it was soft,had no odor,and looked beautiful. I couldn't stop touching it. I co-washed it, sealed my wefts and I don't have any shedding and now I have it sewin. It looks wonderful and blended very well with my hair.you have a long term custumer.
On the model pictured, the hair looks like along wave pattern. On the customers pictured below, the hair looks like long curls. It is pretty, but the wave pattern is not the same.
Very happy with my transaction. Ordered my hair monday and got it friday. The hair is good quality it's soft and has full ends.
I adore this wig! I got it for Halloween. The only other wig I've ever bought was SUPER cheap and looked like it too! I somewhat expected this wig to be the same,
it looks so perfect on me i like those baby hairs in the front of the wigs i got so many compliments it looks geogeous and the curls after one month the curls are still looking nice of course with some sprays for curls it will remain nice .
I recommend using water, then mooose, to tame the volume if you don't want it to look too full. The wave pattern lasts long, but the wig does shed some. Other than that, I think you will like how you look with this wig.
This wig is the bomb I am letting my hair grow from a short hair cut, went t o work and everything loved it they thought I had gotten a weave.
Im in lovee with her! She's my exact color., and she blends in very well! She's the perfect length and curl.:) Will be ordering again soon!
me encantó esta peluca, ? Cuantos días demora el envió a Chile? Saludos!
If you like wavey hair, you'll love this wig! I love the texture and the way it looks on. It's just perfectly wavy. Enough to be noticeable, but not too much so that my head seems huge. The color is beautiful too and looks great in photos that I took.
When I got the wig I just completely loved it. It was super comfy to wear and everyone loved the way it looked on me.
Hair is soft, wig is realistic . i love it! =]
OMG!!!! I love this wig!!! I live In Alaska where there are NO HAIRSTYLISTS!!! So I ordered this wig in a 1B!!! This wig is so natural looking. I had no problem blending it with my own hair. This will be the wig that I wear on Thanksgiving Day!!! Koodoos to MODEL MODEL!!! Love my piece!!!
Very fast shipping; great hair :)
This wig is absolutely gorgeous, I am so happy! I washed the wig as soon as I got it and the waves really came alive and it looks exactly the picture. I was worried the curl pattern would be different from the photo but it is perfect! Also, great customer service; I called and e-mailed with questions before ordering the wig and they were very accomodating. This was my first purchase with Lacewigsbuy andam very impressed with them...looking forward to ordering again soon!
Great wig
This wig is so beautiful, I get sooooo many compliments when I wear it. I have bought about five over a period of time
The wavy hair is very soft and long. I love how the lace is 2 deep and ear to ear because it makes it look really natural. It's very comfortable and it hasn't tangled yet. I would love to get this in black. I'm gonna straighten it soon and can't wait to see how it turns out
I must say , it is one killer deal. The style of the hair is just about right and it really does make me look rather nice.
Ms. Berry is a cute wig. She's longer than she appears on the model. I love her overall but you'll have to play with her a bit to pull off a cute style. I recommend cutting her just slightly.
just got my lace wig omg im so happy the baby hair makes it look really real....i will be ordering more wigs from this site,i love her
am loving it over and over. customer for life
i love it. its very beautiful lace wigs.
It's my second time to buy lace wigs here, and i still love it. Every time when i go out wearing my lace wigs, i always get good impression because of the wigs. And friends say they want the wigs,too.
I loved this product but why doesnt it have the combs in the wig ? it is easly tooken off and u guys always dont sell the lacefront glue and the lace quilty needs to be better its way to thin

Please note:
1. we cannot ship via a traceable method to any post office boxes. Delivery time cannot be guaranteed nor can the package be tracked. We encourage all deliveries be made to a physical address so packages can be tracked.
2. For the cardholder's protection, the company reserves the right to send orders to the billing address if a differing shipping address cannot be verified.

YES. All of our lace wigs are made of 100% Indian Remy human hair and you can treat it as your own hair.
Lace Front Wig: "Lace Front Wig" or Front Lace Wig only has lace in the front of the wig and the remainder of the wig is made from a regular netted wig cap or other materials such as thin-skin. You are not able to wear a front lace wig in high up dos or ponytails. Full Lace Wig: "Full Lace Wigs" are lace wigs which are designed with the entire wig cap being made from lace as well as lace all around the perimeter of the wig. Full lace wigs allow you to wear your hair in high up dos and ponytails. Upon applying & adhering the lace wig, a flawless, natural and undetectable hairline is created.
When a dark hair is tied to the base of a lace wig with a knot, you can see a dark dot on the skin, especially when the base is lace. Lace cannot hide the knot in the same way a monofilament base does. Bleached knots usually are only done at the front of the lace wig and it helps create the illusion that your hair is growing out of your head.
The density refers to how thick the hair is and what density you order is really based on personal choice. Most women achieve a natural appearance with light to medium or medium density; however, your choice will depend on your styling preferences and individual profile.
The life of your wig will depend on your use and care of it. If handled properly, it should last you about 6 months before needing hair added or a repair. If used as your main form of hair replacement and you are using daily, it is realistic to expect it to last 3-6 months before needing a repair or hair added.
Normally we need 3 business days to process your order and if you choose the free shipping, it will take another 5-10 business days to reach you. DHL/Fedex 4-7 business days and UPS is 3-5 business days. I am sorry at present we don't offer overnight shipping.

Pop tabs remind us of an important lesson: Even little things can make a big difference.
Our Fort Worth Campus began collecting pop tabs last year when a student suggested that it would be a great idea and a way for the Campus to give back to the community.
"I saw that my daughter's daycare was collecting pop tabs, and I thought that our Campus could make a difference by collecting them, too," said Pharmacy Technician Student Patty Carranza.
The Campus regularly collects and donates its tabs to the Fort Worth Ronald McDonald House, whose representatives bring the tabs to the local recycling center. There, the tabs are weighed to determine their monetary value, and a check in that amount is sent to the local Ronald McDonald House.
Pop tabs helps the Ronald McDonald House Charities pay the bills so that the mothers and fathers of seriously ill or injured children have a nearby place to stay while their children receive care in a hospital that may be far from the family's home.
Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it's more hygienic to store tabs than cans, and tab collection and storage is easier. The program is an easy way for people of all ages to support this worthwhile effort and know they are making a difference for families and children in need.
Each Ronald McDonald House is independent and depends on support from the community, special events, foundations, corporations, and individuals to continue providing services to those in need.
"The Ronald McDonald House soda tab collection was started in my house over 13 years ago," said Pharmacy Technician Student Kathy Hill. Kathy's family had watched a documentary on what the Ronald McDonald House program does for ill children and their families when in a crisis.
Kathy and her family also collect the cans from which the pop tabs are removed and recycle the cans at their local recycling station. "Every year at Christmastime, we donate the money from the cans to our local Salvation Army Santa," said Kathy.
If you would like more information on starting you own pop-tab collection or volunteering at your local Ronald McDonald House, please visit: http://rmhc.org/.

Neoseeker : Games : Nintendo DS : DSiWare : Puzzle : Digger Dan & Kaboom
Game InfoDigger Dan has always loved digging. That's probably how he got his name, although nobody knows for sure. He also loves gems, and he just happens to have found a ton of them. However, all of the gems are in some pretty nasty caves, so you're going to have to help Dan get them out. Dan has sent Kaboom, his pet gopher, into the caves to find the best place to start, but he hasn't returned. Kaboom has a habit of falling asleep, though, so it looks like Dan is going to have to rescue him too.

As physicians, we try to do everything in our powers to heal and improve our patients' quality of life. Medicine and surgery are part science/part art and some problems have no definitive answers.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis and foot and ankle surgery is one of my top clinical dilemmas and one I actively discuss with colleagues, fellows and residents. I would love to hear the online community's thoughts as well.
If you operate on patients, you will have someone who develops a DVT. It is a given fact. We would all like the chances of DVT to be nil but that is impossible. Obviously, the more surgery you are involved in, the more DVTs you are going to see. That is just the numbers at work. Obviously, we would like to be as preventive as possible: screen for risk factors, take proactive preventive measures, etc. However, you cannot predict them all and even in the people you do suspect to be at risk, then what do you do?
There is limited data or guidance in the foot and ankle in regard to prophylaxis. The current DVT prophylaxis recommendations are from chest and abdominal surgery studies or from hip and knee data. Yet we all are treating postoperative patients with presumed risk factors including immobilization, bone surgery and diabetes.
Studies in the foot and ankle suggest postoperative DVT risk is relatively low at around 2 to 4 percent.1 A recent study of 1,172 Achilles ruptures only demonstrated a 0.43 percent risk for DVT and 0.34 percent for pulmonary embolism.2 An analysis by the English National Health Service looked at 45,949 ankle fractures, 33,626 metatarsal osteotomies and 1,633 total ankle replacements over a 42-month period.3 The DVT and pulmonary embolism risk in all groups was less than 0.5 percent with researchers concluding that prophylaxis is not required in most cases.
While the documented risk is extremely low in foot and ankle specific studies, there are currently no national guidelines or standards in regard to DVT prophylaxis for the foot and ankle surgeon.
As physicians, we obviously want to prevent any harm to patients when possible. We all have stories of patients who got DVTs, sometimes even after taking precautions.
For me personally, all patients undergoing surgery take 325 mg enteric aspirin starting 24 hours after surgery and wear DVT compression stockings on the opposite leg starting in surgery. This protocol continues until the patient is freely ambulating without any motion-limiting device such as a cast or fracture boot. For patients who are at high risk (morbid obesity, history of previous clot, three or more risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, etc.), they have chemical anti-coagulation in the form of warfarin (Coumadin) or low molecular weight heparin plus use of the compression garment therapy. Likewise, this continues until patients are freely ambulating in shoe gear.
What is this based on? Well, again, there is limited guidance. I currently rely on my specific modifications of hip and knee recommendations. My modifications are also similar to the recommendations in a June 2011 statement by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS).4
Hardy, Roukis and Wukich and their respective colleagues have authored several good summaries of this dilemma in the foot and ankle.3,5,6
If you are still considering this problem too, I would like to hear your protocol and ///reasoning behind it. I would encourage you to read the AAOS link as well as the other foot and ankle resources.

How many times have you decided that your dog behaved 'badly' because he was angry with you? That he wanted to 'get back' at you? That he knew what he had done because he 'looked guilty'? Most of us have thought it once or twice. Even those of us who know better.
In truth, dogs don't do 'revenge', they don't do 'spite' and they don't feel guilty for doing things that you didn't actually catch them doing – or even things that you DO catch them doing. Placing purely human emotions on a dog is not only wrong, but could mean you are missing the REAL issue.

Have you ever come to make a home insurance claim and found that something isn't covered, or realised your claim is void because of something you've done?
We spoke to an anonymous claims handler from south Wales to give you the inside line on how insurers operate.
Here, our anonymous home insurance insider details the common mistakes that home insurance policyholders make.
"Something that many people don't realise is that matching items are usually only covered independently," says our insider.
"So if you lose one earring the insurer will only replace the one or, if a suitable replacement can't be found, cash to its value.
"The same goes for things like kitchen cabinets.
"Roofs are another area where policy holders are often surprised they don't have cover.
"Typically, damage to your roof will only be covered if winds of 47 to 50mph or rain of more than 23mm an hour are involved.
"These are classed as storm conditions. Otherwise, it's just treated as wear and tear and is not covered.
"Many people think that if you have a claim which leaves you without a kitchen, your insurer will put you up.
"This is not the case," our home insurance insider says.
"You will only be provided with alternative accommodation if the house is deemed uninhabitable.
"What is more likely is that you will be asked to stay at home and given a daily food allowance, which is around £10 a day with most insurers."
"When buying a policy, disclosing previous claims is very important," says our insider.
"It sounds obvious but you'd be surprised at the amount of people who don't do so.
"If you don't disclose at purchase, you will usually still be able to buy the policy.
"But when you come to claim and the insurer inevitably finds out about previous claims, they have every right to completely void your policy, and they probably will.
"Always keep your receipts," our anonymous home insurance claims handler says.
"People don't realise how important it is to keep hold of them but if an item is stolen and you want to claim, you'll be required to provide proof of purchase.
"Most big retailers keep sales records for up to six years, but the onus is on the policy holder to chase the retailer themselves for the information.
"So keep the receipts and save yourself the hassle.
"Finally, if you've made or are going to make a claim, don't get any repairs done or remove any damaged goods yourself unless the insurance company has said it's okay to do so."
"When making your claim, just be honest, polite and remain calm, no matter how angry or upset you are.
"The reason for this is that attitude is a fraud indicator, and a bad attitude can mean your claim gets looked at more deeply, making the process last much longer.
"Above all, treat the person on the other end of the phone how you would like to be treated.
"Because the fact is that they can do a lot to make your claim process more difficult."
"There are loads of quotes from customer I could relay to you but they're all too rude to publish.
"I did have one memorable gentleman on the phone who was ex-military, and would tell me to 'Stand by!' before every piece of information he gave me.
"We get dodgy sounding claims all the time.
"One which sticks out involved someone accidentally knocking a TV over which then fell on a Playstation containing a game, which then knocked a glass of red wine onto the carpet.
"Needless to say, that one went straight to the special investigations team."

How about Mina Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula, by Francis Ford Coppola? She is bitten by Dracula, she drinks of his blood, she nearly seduces Van Helsing, she grows the fangs, she has power over the weather, and she has a telepathic connection with the Count himself.
As if that wasn't enough, the role of Mina Harker is also played by Peta Wilson in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and she is a vampire. So I'm obviously not the only one who thinks she fell under Dracula's dark spell.

Nostalgia To The Max: 2001
It's Throwback Thursday, and you know what that means! Nostalgia to the max! :P
2001 was an unforgettable year, to say the least. Britney Spears showed the world that snakes are good performance companions, Michelle Branch made her big debut, NSYNC shoved the dreaded "pop" word in everyone's face and Pink just wanted to get the damn party started! Not to mention Jay-Z's love for women of all cultures. ;)
Enjoy this week's 2001 playlist and let me know your favorite songs in the comments below!

Lindsay Lohan reportedly owes $40,000 to a Nevada-based tanning company. We're not surprised.
Last August, the troubled actress was ordered to pay a $40k Tanning Vegas bill for tanning sessions between 2007 and 2009. Nearly a year later, Lohan allegedly hasn't paid a cent to owner Lorit Simon. Now the company is moving the lawsuit to California, so it can attach Lohan's assets to the claim and pay the bill.
HuffPost Style points out that Simon is also the co-founder of Lohan's self-tanning line Sevin Nyne. The two launched the line in 2009, which coincides with when Lohan stopped going to Tanning Vegas. Interesting.
More importantly, we wonder what Lohan has to say about Tan Mom.

Photo by Hirsheimer & Hamilton
YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan and parchment
- 2 1/3 cups cake flour (sifted, then measured) plus more for pan
- 2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup plus 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
- 1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Special equipment: Use a 9"-10"-diameter springform pan.
Position a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°. Butter pan; line bottom with a round of parchment paper. Butter parchment. Dust with flour; tap out excess. Arrange berries in a single layer in bottom of pan; sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup sugar.
Sift 2 1/3 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into a medium bowl; set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat 3/4 cup butter and remaining 1 1/3 cups sugar in a large bowl at medium-high speed, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and zest. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating just until incorporated. Pour batter over berries in pan; smooth top.
Bake until cake is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 25 minutes. Let cool in pan set on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then run a thin, sharp knife around edge of pan to loosen. Remove pan sides. Invert cake onto rack and remove pan bottom; peel off parchment. Dust top generously with powdered sugar and let cool completely.
