I do not have a business but I do make and sell cakes to just friends. So my daughters friend is having a 16th Birthday tonight. The girls cheer on the same squad for the last 4 years and we have been at many different social events together. She asked me to make the cake so I agreed. She asked for a 4 tiered cake with lavender accents. I have always wanted to make a topsy turvy cake and this gave me the perfect opportunity. They have money and she never once asked me the price all the times we talked. So this morning she called me on her cell phone to ask the price. I spent 100.00 on supplies so I charged her 260.00. I know way under priced but it is what it is. So after we hung up she called me back but it was a pocket call and I can here her and her husband speaking about the price and how it was way more then they thought and next time they should get it from WAL-MART. I so wish I could call her back and tell her to keep her money and get the cake from WAL-MART.
I totally understand what you mean, I also do for family and friends mostly, I had a lady from my church call me and wants a 3 tier baby shower cake, really??, 3 tiers, but ok I said, she showed me a couple of pictures she found online of some cakes, it would need to feed atleast 80 people, it's mainly in buttercream, but it does have fondant accents, and about 4 fondant figures, so I gave her what I thought was a great price of 125.00, her reply was "I was thinking more along the line of 40.00, thats normally what we pay for shower shee cakes we get from walmart" Really 40.00 that wont cover the ingredients, much less the time, so I told her she would probably have to order from Wal-Mart!!!!
I'm sure once she sees the cake, she'll realize that the quality is much, much better than she could have gotten from Walmart. Right now she's probably having sticker shock from all the party expenses.
Personally, I always manage to get the price out there before I start buying supplies or baking...it's awkward to talk money with friends, but it's better to get it out and make sure they're on the same page than to wait until the day they need the cake to mention it.
even if you're having a friend purchase from you you should always establish a price and/or a verbal agreement about what should be made before you even turn on your oven. live and learn!
I completely agree with Texas_Rose. Your not running your own business, but there's still a huge money and time investment into the cake. Make sure that price is discussed before you crack (or buy) the first egg.
I'm sure when they see the cake (if they get to see it) that they will wholeheartedly agree that it doesn't look or taste like a $40 sheet cake!
Well I think I might have had to ask if they wanted a $40 sheet cake from Walmart why was she wasting your time ?
People who have paid $40 for a.sheet cake know that an extravagant work of art is going to cost a lot more.
I had a neighbor do that to me once. Begged me to make a cake, spent hours going over the plans and adding more and more on (she wanted a stage with instruments, then a full band....and how about lighting...) I kept telling her that it would be very time consuming and I would have a LOT of hours in it. Then about 2 weeks before she told me they overbudgeted the party and would have to just have a sheet cake. Thank God I didn't start making all those gumpaste figures yet. I told her Walmart makes the cheapest around, go for it. It ended up being a huge relief to get that monkey off my back.
Budget should be covered up front before the design. The only reason a baker puts off the issue is she is afraid to discuss the price. This puts everyone in a bad position. If you are going to charge, be up front.
And if you are going to charge, check with your local HD to find out if you even can charge. You may find that the cake should be free due to local laws.
Yes, it's tricky to discuss price if you're a hobbyist. This is where running a business is helpful. I itemize my cake projects for my clients, so there's none of this BS stcker shock activity going on. And for the tyre-kickers out there just wanting to know a ballpark price range for their next cake, I'm always careful to quote the upper limits for what they want, bc people are notorious for remembering the one figure you quote them, thus making it hard to adjust upwards when they want to add the extra fillings, most expensive cake flavours and all that jazz.
So how did it go when you delivered the cake?
Hey there Texas Rose are you talking about Wildgirls cake from yesterday ? .This is a different thread . I cant remember the name of it but she said it went great .You'll have to look it up.
even if you're having a friend purchase from you you should always establish a price and/or a verbal agreement about what should be made before you even turn on your oven. live and learn!
Ditto. This is probably one of the most difficult things a non-professional cake decorator has to learn. Unfortunately, it seems that most learn the hard way. If you were doing this as a business, pricing would have been discussed prior to any other commitment on your part. Just because people have money doesn't mean they want to spend it. Hopefully, this will work out and you will not have this situation happen again.
Here's is a superb article I refer all people to read when they have pricing issues:
p.s. Your Wrapped Cake in your Gallery is STUNNING!
I do cakes for family and friends. I always get a idea of what they want, how many servings they need, then I give them a few cake size options that will fit their servings, and how much for each of them. That way they can pick. They may think they want a bigger or more cake, until they find out the price, then they may decide that a smaller cake really is plenty.
I wouldn't even say anything about hearing the discussion on the Walmart cakes. They thought they were discussing that in private, and we are allowed to express our personal opinion in private.
I totally understand how much work goes in a cake. I get it. But even I would have a hard time paying several hundred dollars for a cake. It doesn't mean it isn't worth it, it just means it may not be in my budget. Of course I have a hard time paying several hundred dollars for alot of things.
You said "p.s. Your Wrapped Cake in your Gallery is STUNNING!"
Whose wrapped cake are you talking about?

The large majority (though definitely not all) of the Porch crowd is single, so the topic of dating comes up a lot. In my job, I get to observe hundreds of dating relationships, some of which turn into God-honoring marriages. And in the search for those marriages, I also hear about the dating complaints of many young adults, both male and female.
Let me start by stating that in your pursuit of a spouse, you are not bound by the rules of men, but rather should seek what wisdom God has for you in His Word. Matthew 6:33 comes to mind, for example. You can also learn from the successes or failures of others, gathering wisdom principles learned by other Christians.
So, based on Scripture and my own observations, I would like to address some of the common dating complaints I consistently hear. (You can hear more in podcasts of our "Boy Meets Girl" series.) Here, in part 1 of this multi-part blog, we'll focus on the first part of the dating process: asking someone out, or the pursuit.
Guys don't ask the girls out
You hear this complaint quite a bit (from the girls, obviously). Though it is not entirely true as a blanket statement, I'm sure it is true that some guys don't ask girls out, and that some girls don't get asked.
There are several reasons, both good and bad, why some Christian guys may not ask girls out:
Sadly, one other factor that contributes to this problem is that women outnumber men within the church. This is a problem everywhere; we're not talking specifically about The Porch. But the gender gap is probably most pronounced among the single 20s and 30s demographic. Among those who are actively following Christ, the ratio of women to men is not 1:1; honestly, it is probably closer to 2:1. Basically, the male half of the species needs to step up in living out their faith. Ladies, be patient in waiting for him and be active in pursuing God.
Girls always say "no" to dates
Ah, now this is interesting. If guys aren't asking girls out, then how is it that girls are saying "no"? And if women are so starved for dates and have such a shortage of Christian men around, why are so many men feeling rejected?
There are faults on both sides of the aisle here. Some (not all) of the women complaining about guys not asking them out would be more honest in saying "that specific guy" or "that type of guy" is not asking them out. To them, I would say to A) stop complaining, and B) be careful not to inadvertently cause the fear of rejection that can prevent those guys from asking other, more willing girls out.
Men, there may be several reasons why a woman turned you down:
Girls are too aggressive
Girls, we (guys) want a girl. Your affinity for football is cute; you asking us out and constantly calling is not. I hope this helps you and not hurts you, but though guys might date aggressive girls, they are not likely to marry one. Guys need to initiate; be faithful and respond to his invite. That might sound like a lot of waiting, but be patient. Don't speed things up by compromising the way you dress to attract a guy…you may attract someone, but it will certainly be the wrong guy. Please read this slowly: you will lose him for the same reason you "won" him. If you catch him with fleeting bait (Proverbs 31:30), you will get a fleeting relationship.
Going on dates with strangers
You shouldn't take candy from them, and you shouldn't spend extended time with them pursuing romance. I know, I know, you date to get to know someone, right? Not really…well, kind of. You date to see if someone you know is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. So how well do you need to know them? Well, you need to know that they love God and are pursuing a relationship with Him. This narrows your search considerably to a small pool of people active in your church, or another healthy church. The reality is that if you are running in church circles, you probably know lots of people who would make awesome spouses. Serve faithfully and enjoy your singleness. Guys, when someone is serving faithfully with you and you become interested in her, ask her out. It's just coffee! Ladies, if a stranger comes up to ask for your number it means that the girls who really know him are probably unwilling to go out with him…something to think about.
Just because they are at church or The Porch, certainly does not guarantee they are someone you want to be stuck at a table for two with. Be wise.
So, guys, ask out those girls around you. Don't overlook the faithful person serving next to you. Girls, if he is faithful and a good guy, give him a chance.
More to come; continued in part 2.
[…] you are pursuing God yourself and are ready for marriage, find the most godly woman you know and ask her out. Single girls, if a godly man asks you out and you are open to dating, say yes. If you say no, be […]
[…] from part 1 and part […]
[…] Continued from part 1. […]
Marcus T., I agree! Well said
My own experience as a man who was once terrified to ask girls out and by God's grace managed to convince an amazing woman to marry me is that it boils down to the Gospel going deeper inside of us as men. Do we really apply it to our dating lives?
Perhaps we men have been or are afraid to ask out women because we want to avoid facing any possible external evidence of the thing we feel internally: that we aren't good enough, man enough, etc.
When the Gospel really sinks in in this area, we know that we are fully accepted by the God of the universe no matter what, and facing the rejection of a girl just isn't THAT big of a deal in comparison because it can't uproot our real source of security: who Jesus is and what He has done.
Jesus initiated with the world, and faced real rejection. He was man enough FOR us, and is the source and model of true manhood FOR us.
In my circle of friends the biggest problem is NOT ASKING. I even failed recently at doing so in a timely manner. Some of it stems from male insecurities that probably disqualify the guy from dating in the first place. (I recommend ReGen, I'm going currently and have learned a lot about myself in the process). Anyhow, not asking is the best way to remain single and (if dating is one of your desires, hopefully rooted in a bigger desire to follow God) unsatisfied. A lot of the time I'm almost certain that my peers would get a favorable response if they just asked. Timidity in this area is no bueno. And I say that having failed recently. (Not because I was timid though lol). Being unintentional does not just hurt the guy (who is failing at life -thats a joke, well… sort of), it also hurts the girl. And considering all of the carnage in my past, hurting another woman is NOT my goal, nor should it be for any Christ-following guy out there…
JP – methinks part of the problem is that people don't know how to break up well. Kedersha always tells us in Merge that it is easier to get divorced then to break up an engaged or seriously dating couple. This is because people won't make tough decisions until their level of pain becomes so high they can't take it.
So, to your post, I think if a guy asks a girl out on a date, she may be so terrified of the (inevitable, or at least very likely) breakup conversation that it's paralysis by analysis and no first date ever occurs. As is often the case, wisdom may be found in lyric, first by the great Neil Sedaka, who sang "breaking up is hard to do", and it is, but the how-to manual for breaking up was provided in great deal by Nada Surf in 'Popular'. One line "tell him honestly but simply, kindly but firmly. If you want to date other people, say so. Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected…even if you've only been together for a short time… there's still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers the company of others to your exclusive company…
But if you're honest and direct
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech
When you break the news
The boy will respect you for your frankness
And honestly, he'll appreciate the kind straight-forward manner in which you told him your decision.
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry-baby you'll remain friends"
Problem is, many girls and boys are not able/willing to have the kind of frank, truthful, but loving conversation described above. And also, many young men are jerks and cry-babies.
[…] recently read a blog post by my good friends at the porch (which I hope you check out here). As a Dad of three young women, I was prompted to add a few thoughts and I thought I would post […]
Ladies, (and I certainly tell my daughters this) one of the reasons guys don't pursue women is they don't have to. Some girls make themselves too available. In other words they make their three-dimensional-selves way too accessible. Don't let a guy spend too much time with you (especially once you find yourself starting to wish he would spend more time with you) without seeking that time out with you intentionally. In other words…seek the Lord (not a date/husband), serve passionately and then skedaddle. I'm not talking about playing games here…but after the 3rd or 4th time you go out with the group after serving/The Porch/etc…with the same group (especially if the guy you hope pursues you is always there) it might be good to not join the group. Why? Because he has no reason to pursue you privately if he can always enjoy publicly. I tell my gals that the treasure doesn't do the hunting. If there is never any mystery as to what is "down there" most boys will never go through the trouble of digging. So don't play games…but also don't always play with the group. Go home early (esp. when the reason you always join the group is because the guy you want to ask you out is always in the group…your going on the group date with him every week is maybe the very reason he never asks you out) and spend some time seeking the Lord, reminding yourself of the MAN you want your man to look like.
Finally, there is a similar reason why men who DO date you DON'T marry you…and it just might be because there is more than your time that you are making too available.
Why would a guy date a girl he can be with her any time he wants without intentional effort? Even more, why would a guy marry a girl he can sleep with (or get off with) any time he wants without intentionally declaring before God and family that SHE is the ONE.
Treasures don't do the hunting and treasure chests have locks on them for a reason. Don't give him the code till he makes the covenant.

AP employees divided over shifting to Amaravati - Tv9
Tue, Jun 07, 2016, 08:40 AM
AP employees have divided into groups over shifting to Amaravati. The APNGOs Association are against shifting while AP Secretariat employees have agreed to relocate to Amaravati. APNGOs Association president Ashok Babu said that the government has not given clarity on accommodation and school facilities for children of employees. But, the Chief Minister has reiterated that deadline for shifting of employees is June 27.

I'm beginning to wonder if Santino actually knows how to construct a woman's bodice. Tim Gunn says that, instead of predesigning his creations, which is the normal process, Santino puts fabric up on the form and just keeps adding (and adding and adding).
His tops never flatter or follow the form of an actual women's bustline - they actually flatten the profile. Heh - flatten not flatter. I'm cleverer than I thought.
I suspect that Nikki Hilton was swayed by Santino's personality more than his dress. How can she POSSIBLY have liked those gauche, huge, braided straps? They looked very amateurish, like something I might put together with leftover scrap the night before Halloween.
Man, to each his own I guess.

eNews from Wednesday, May 18, 2011
NOPA April Crush Data BearishThe Corn and Soybean Digest -- May 17, 2011 -- National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) monthly soybean crush data released on Monday morning was negative for soybean prices as it indicated processor activity remained slower than expected during April.
On the supportive side, NOPA members did report a lower-than-expected stock of soybean oil, but the soyoil market showed limited reaction to the news.
NOPA estimated its members' April crush at 121.3 million bushels, 9.7% below their March crush and 7.9% below the April 2010 NOPA crush of 131.7 million bushels.
The NOPA crush also came in below trade expectations averaging 128.7 million bushels in a range from 124 million to 131 million.
USDA currently projects the U.S. 2010-2011 crush at 1.650 billion bushels, 5.8% below year earlier, but through March, the full U.S. crush was running 7.4% behind last year.
High soymeal and soyoil yields helped limit the April crush. NOPA pegged the April soymeal yield at 48.18 lbs./bu., up from 48.04 lbs. in March and 46.88 lbs. in April 2010.
The NOPA April soyoil yield came in at 11.72 lbs./bu., up from 11.65 lbs. in March and up 4.7% from the yield of 11.19 lbs. reported in April 2010.
Weak demand for soymeal also continues to limit crushing activity. Reduced use of soymeal in U.S. livestock feed due to increased feeding of DDGs and wheat has limited soymeal demand along with a slowdown in U.S. export vs. last year due to increased competition from India and South America.
NOPA reported member soyoil stocks declined at an unexpectedly fast rate of 11.9% during April. End-April NOPA soyoil stocks totaled 2.694 billion pounds, compared with 3.059 billion pounds a month earlier and 2.812 billion pounds a year earlier.
The soyoil stocks figure was well below trade expectations, which averaged 2.987 billion lbs. in a range from 2.907 billion to 3.040 billion pounds.
Editor's note: Richard Brock, Corn & Soybean Digest's marketing editor, is president of Brock Associates, a farm market advisory firm, and publisher of The Brock Report.

Martinez, not 'Tek, catching Beckett in Game 2
It will be Victor Martinez, and not Jason Varitek, behind the plate catching Josh Beckett for the Red Sox in Friday night's Game 2 of the ALDS.
Martinez caught Beckett three times during the regular season, compared to Varitek's 27 times. It's a small sample size (just 81 plate appearances), but Beckett's OPS-against with Martinez behind the plate (1.021) is nearly three times what it was for Varitek (.625, in 742 plate appearances).
Martinez, however, caught Beckett's last two starts of the regular season (Beckett gave up six earned runs in 11 innings) and is an obvious offensive upgrade over the Red Sox captain.
That means Varitek likely will not start any of the games in this series. When approached about whether he was starting, Varitek declined to say.
"I want the element of surprise for the other team," he said, smiling.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
The file quota.sys is missing from the directory structure. How can recreate this file?
The Answer is :
The Wizard will assume that this query arises from a message generated from ANALYZE/DISK. For example: $ analyze/disk_structure dka0: Analyze/Disk_Structure for _WIZSYS$DKA0: started on 11-SEP-2000 13:54:30.84 %ANALDISK-I-OPENQUOTA, error opening QUOTA.SYS -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file QUOTA.SYS is used to hold information about disk usage. It will be present only on disks that have disk quotas enabled. For information about disk quotas see section 8.11 "Managing Disk Space" in the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. For disks without disk quotas there will be no QUOTA.SYS. This is quite normal and is not a problem (despite the apparent nasty message from ANALYZE/DISK! - note that it's only severity I - Informational). The message may safely be ignored.

Update your general surgery CPT® codes for 2013.
You may have been losing precious reimbursement when a physician assistant (PA) or other appropriate caregiver performs E/M services in your surgical practice—but good news. CPT® 2013 brings much needed relief.
Revisions to more than 80 E/M codes will help you submit claims that include services performed by certain "qualified healthcare professionals" other than physicians.
Along with these E/M changes, apply the following guidance to your bariatric surgeries and colonoscopies. Start preparing now so that you're not scrambling over the holidays.
This session will help you answer these questions:
How should I report bariatric surgeries, given CPT® 2013?
What's different about the vascular surgery guidance?
What happens when a screening colonoscopy turns diagnostic, and how will my claim change?
How should I navigate the modifier maze?
What can I do to economy-proof my surgery practice for 2013?

|Timeshare Frequently Asked
The Following FREE advice article answers some of the more commonly asked questions about timeshare ownership and other aspects about the subject of Timesharing. The comments are the distillation of some of the most experienced timeshaer owners and users found here on TUG!
TUG Banner Ads .. click for details on this banner program
Who or What is TUG?
|The membership fees pay for this site and all the associated costs of running the Timeshare Users Group ( phone bills, online fees, web site fees, domain registrations, postage, etc.....but no labor costs....we are an all volunteer organization.
|The cost of
resort operation is spread among owners
via an annual maintenance fee. The fee must also build up reserves to
for non-recurring costs like furniture, appliances etc. that need
replacement and other capital costs as normal physical deterioration
Cost is established by the developer or homeowners association.
When a developer is in control, maintenance fees may be temporarily
by the developer as a marketing tool while there is sales activity.
the homeowner association takes over, fees may quickly rise to
Special assessments are sometimes added to maintenance fees to cover unexpected (non-reserved) expenses. These assessments are passed by the association board of directors. Severe storm damage would be an example where an extra assessment would apply.
Maintenance fees vary with the location and resort, but usually are in the $200 to $1000 per year range.
|Timeshare ownership is an investment in quality vacations. Purchasers who buy a timeshare strictly for speculative reasons are usually disappointed as the resale market for timeshares does not appreciate as well or as fast as other real estate investments. As an investment in YOURSELF and your leisure time, a carefully researched timeshare purchase can be a good investment when compared to the cost of renting alternative comparable accommodations.
|All factors being equal, a resale from a previous owner or a resale company, will probably cost considerably less than buying direct from the developer. Deep discounts of 50% and more are not uncommon. There are instances where buying from a developer may be your only choice. Lack of a unit with the amenities, location or "extra" added programs like the Marriott point program might be a consideration to buy from a developer. Again, research your decision BEFORE you buy to secure the best deal for you. Where should you begin this research? I think you know the answer. Think "TUG"!
|The answer
can be
as individual as each owner but
the consensus answer falls into two categories based upon intended
If you intend to return to your resort frequently and exchange occasionally, your best choice is a resort you enjoy often.
If your primary intent is to maximize trade value and you do not intend to stay at your own resort very often, then you should buy at a resort which is in high demand.
While there is no single "best" choice, the current consensus of opinion says that Hawaii and coastal California are two easy choices that will produce top results.
There are many variables that would apply to any particular choice and a potential buyer is strongly advised to research factors that affect timeshare trade values before making a final choice. A membership in TUG that provides access to the resort ratings and reviews is an excellent place to start.
|Fixed week
ownership means that you have the right
to occupy (or have available for trade or rent) a specific week and
number at the resort you own every year.
Floating (sometimes referred to as flex) ownership means that even though you may be deeded a specific week and unit number, you have no use claim on that week or unit. Instead you have the opportunity to request a week within a specified range of weeks during the year. The range of weeks available for flex use is set by the resort and is the same range of weeks from year to year.
Advantages of owning a fixed week: You are guaranteed the week and unit you want every year (especially applicable to colder climate owners who want to vacation where it is warm in winter).
Advantages of owning a floating week: For those who are concerned about unforeseen work or schedule conflicts associated with a fixed week, floating time allows for additional planning options.
There are more implications with either type ownership especially as it applies to trading and vacation planning. A prospective timeshare owner is urged to examine the differences and make a choice to match the situation before purchasing.
|The simple
is that a bonus week is an "extra"
week in addition to the one you own. It's given or sold as an incentive
to timeshare owners for a specific reason.
A Developer Bonus Week (DBW) is available to members who own at participating resort. These bonus weeks are issued directly from the resort. They are sometimes issued as a signing bonus upon the purchase of a timeshare interval . Owners can sometimes purchase them from the resort as unsold developer owned weeks.
A second type of bonus week is one issued by an exchange company. Owners of high demand resort weeks receive them as incentives to deposit their timeshare week.
Bonus weeks are sometimes referred to as "Vacation Escape" weeks, "Getaway" weeks (or weekends). They are available to members of exchange companies like RCI, II and SFX. The exchange company makes bonus weeks available for purchase by members for a nominal fee. Purchased bonus weeks are considered "excess inventory" likely to go unused. Excess inventory is determined by the historical number of deposits versus the number of requests for each particular resort.
Bonus weeks
usually come with expiration dates and
may have other use restrictions relating to location, season and
|This is a
vs Pepsi" question but it may be a
moot point. The resort you own is probably affiliated with only one
company. There are, however, a few resorts affiliated with both. Do not
let the resort's affiliation affect your decision to own or buy at the
resort. Although there are preferences among people who have experience
with both major exchange companies, there is no unanimous opinion that
one is better than the other.
It should be noted that there are more than the two BIG exchange companies. TUG maintains a comprehensive list of timeshare exchange companies.
|No. As soon as your week is deposited, you can request and get the week you want if it is available.
by members and visitors to TUG have
been unanimous in this regard. Never pay an upfront fee as a condition
to buy, sell or rent your timeshare. This situation is probably the
common situation where an owner will probably be dissatisfied. ANY fee
required before performance will probably be lost. These "fees" come
as "agent commissions", "appraisal fee", "advertising fee", etc.
They all have one thing in common. The money is always requested before
performance is complete. Some of the more notorious companies preying
timeshare owners desperate to sell their timeshare will have the words
"bank", "trust", "investment" in their company title. This is in an
to instill a feeling of confidence in their target. Do not be a victim.
Verify the credentials and performance of any company making this type
of offer.
If necessary we strongly suggest dealing only with an agent who works on commission from proceeds of sale. Failing that, there are experienced TUG members willing to offer advice on the "how to's" of selling your timeshare. Visit the TUG BBS and start asking questions.
|Reply from
The form in the back of the RCI Directory, Membership Transfer Application, is mainly used for the sale of timeshare, but also for transfer of weeks. The most important parts of the document are the areas which indicate your account information, the week you want trasferred, and to what account it's going to. As long as we have that information along with your signature, it should be taken care of. That information can also be listed in a signed letter if you prefer. Once the information is completed, you can fax it to us at 317/805-9335 if you wish. Hope this helps. Thanks for visiting our website. Darrin Goodwin, RCI Internet Team.
|Most timeshare accommodations have cooking and laundry facilities. While it certainly isn't necessary to pack anything more than you normally would for the typical vacation, some TUGGERS seem to be a different breed. Take a look at the A.R. Timeshare Checklist and then decide for yourself. (I'll let you decide for what the "A.R." stands for)
|Good question. Since I don't even do my own taxes, I'll refer you to TUG's expert Timeshare and Taxes advice page to answer your question.

I suffered damage from a nasty peroxide mishap recently, so that some of my hair became highly porous, in the way you describe.
Here's what worked for me: After using a clarifying shampoo (like Suave clar ... ), I followed up with an ACV rinse to close the cuticles.
Next: I did a protein treatment (I use "JOICO K-pak"). Keratin protein can help give your hair back the elasticity it lost when your hair cuticle was damaged, and that can lead to revived curls. Plus keratin fills in the damaged areas of the cuticle so the hair is smoother, stronger and better defined. OK ... Then the rinse out, followed by a DC to moisturize the hair (I use Heaven In Hair conditioner by DevaCurl). Left that on for 1 hr. and rinsed. You may have to repeat this process for the next few times you go to wash your hair.

Things I liked: priced well, seemed like a good gun for our purposes
Things I would have changed: the magazines do not load correctly--they broke and would not feed right and it was really frustrating. the first gun i received also had a slightly bent barrel. i thought this might be the problem. so i sent the first one back and hoped the 2nd one would work better. the barrel was not bent on this one but it did functioned the same way, breaking the small parts on the magazine as it fed. two magazines broke with only about 40 shots. so i returned the 2nd one as well. pyramidair was really great about the return so i truly appreciate that. i just wish the gun had functioned as expected.

My breast was a 34B/32C, after I had my daughter and breast feed my breast went up to a 36DD/36E and when I stopped breast feeding they have gone down to a small empty B. They are empty in the top and my nipples are not even and hang low but don't point down. Can I get away with having just implants or will I need a nipple lift or full uplift? I'd rather just have implants but don't want to regret not having a lift it they still sag. I don't want fake round breasts.
Do I Need an Uplift or Will Just Having Implants Be Ok? (photo)
Doctor Answers 13
Avoid implants
If you are satisfied with the volume of your breasts you would benefit from a new technique called The Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Aligning the areola and breast tissue over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection and avoids implants. Most women refuse lifts because of the ugly vertical scars of the lollipop or boat anchor shaped incisions. This new technique avoids the ugly vertical and horizontal scars of the traditional techniques. The breast weight is transferred to the underlying muscle preventing recurrent sagging. However, if you want more volume, implants can be placed simultaneously.
Best Wishes,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.

For asymmetry and sagging, a breast lift in combination with implants works best.
If both sides looked like your left breast, implants alone would do the job. However, with your asymmetry, implants alone will not work because you would need a larger implant on the left side and a smaller one on the right, which would help even the volume discrepancy but actually make the asymmetry in shape look worse. Don't even think about a "nipple lift." All this does is make a scar around your areola with little if any effective lift. You need a vertical lift with implants. Check out patient R.Z. on my website. Remember, your situation is somewhat difficult and you need an experienced surgeon or you are likely to be dissatisfied. Insist on seeing plenty of before and after photos including women with asymmetry like you. I've attached a link.

What to do after breast feeding?
Thanks for your photos... you mention that you did not like the nipple position in the photos where the breasts look perky. If that is how you feel, just have the augmentation first, understanding that you will have some component of sagging and your nipples will never be level. If you are fine with that look, you're done. If you want perkier, a lift will be needed. And I would never suggest the peri-areolar one unless your lift was minimal.
You might also like...
Lift needed for best result
Your left breast may do okay with only an implant but the right side has significant sagging and will definitely require a lift. More than likely to get your best result you will need a vertical lift. The example photo of a widened scar from a Benelli type breast lift is not uncommon and I rarely recommend this type of lift to patients. This type of lift has the highest degree of patient dissatisfaction.
Lift needed
I believe you will need a lift with implants to give you the look you desire. Your right breast has significant ptosis. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
Do I Need an Uplift or Will Just Having Implants Be Ok?
A lifting is needed in my opinion based upon the one posted photo provided. Best to obtain a few IN PERSON evacuations from boarded PSs in your city.
Breast asymmetry before surgery
Your posted photo shows asymmetric breasts with a more lower hanging right breast. The only way to get a symmetrical from breast augmentation is to do a breast lift at the same time. Augmentation without a lift may make the asymmetry more severe.
I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship in order to know if this assessment is valid.
Your photos reveal breast asymmetry. Your right breast is lower and the NAC is lower than the left. It is hard to tell from the photos but your right breast also appears larger. With these findings I would recommend a lift with your augmentation.
Learn more: http://www.toddbkochmd.com
Breast lift question
Yes, I would say a lift is needed, with your arms a bit lifted for the photo you have moderate ptosis and some breast asymmetry. I think a lollipop style will be the way to go for you. Just implants will likely give you bigger but droopy breasts. Good Luck!
Sometimes breast augmentation can obviate the need for breast lift.
The picture demonstrates breast that might get an excellent result with breast augmentation alone. This is a function of the magnitude of the ptosis and the desired final breast size.

Alzheimer's Disease
Pick`s Disease
I knew Pick`s disease was part of the dementia family, but I didn`t know the symptoms. Any more information on this subject would be appreciated as I work with clients with Alzheimer`s.
Pick's disease is normally considered under the heading of the frontotemporal dementia (FTD) syndromes. FTD is not a single disease but rather the moniker for a heterogeneous group of disorders (including Pick's disease). These conditions are characterized by progressive behavioral and cognitive change with personality change or expressive language or naming impairment. The usual onset is between 45 and 70 years.
Three main forms are recognized: orbitofrontal syndrome, progressive non-fluent aphasia, and semantic dementia. Orbitofrontal syndrome is characterized by personality changes with disinhibition and apathy often before significant memory loss. Executive dysfunction (poor judgment and organization skills) with or without language impairment is common. Progressive non-fluent aphasia starts out with decreased word output and eventually progresses to no output in combination with executive dysfunction and memory loss. In semantic dementia they lose the meaning of words and have stereotyped verbal output.
In Pick's disease in particular, the pathology of the brain shows inflated brain cells (neurons) and abnormal protein inclusions in the neurons called Pick bodies. Tau proteins are the major component of these Pick bodies.

Truck towing veggies tips, blocks traffic on Hwy 58
DEXTER, Ore. -- A semi-truck carrying a load of vegetables rolled onto its side on Highway 58 Sunday afternoon, blocking traffic west of Oakridge, state police said.
Officials said that at about 3 p.m. Sunday, the Freightliner semi-truck went off the road and landed on its side, blocking the west and eastbound lanes at milepost 18, east of Dexter.
Crash investigators still don't know what caused the driver, Anthony Chand, 45 of Sacramento, Calif., to lose control of his truck. Chand had his seat belt on then the truck tipped and wasn't hurt during the crash.
Oregon Department of Transportation officials said that there were long traffic delays in the area as crews unloaded the trailer to clear the roadway.

ESPN: Rams Quarterback Sam Bradford Suffers Torn ACL
ABC Digital
National Sports
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — The St. Louis Rams are fearing the worst as ESPN reports quarterback Sam Bradford has injured his left knee by tearing his ACL, and will miss the rest of the season.
Bradford suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter during the team's loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
With 5:27 left, Bradford scrambled down the sideline when safety Mike Mitchell pushed Bradford out of bounds, causing him to land awkwardly on his knee as he fell down.
This is a tough blow for a Rams team struggling to stay relevant in the NFC West, as well as Bradford who was facing a big year with the Rams.
At 3-4, the Rams are in third place in the West, but Bradford was enjoying arguably his best season in the NFL so far.
The 25-year-old Bradford was completing a career-high 60.7% of his passes as well as a 90.9 quarterback rating.
Backup quarterback Kellen Clemens is expected to replace Bradford as the team's starter. Clemens hasn't started a game since 2011.

I wish much happiness for Ellen and Portia…I can imagine their happiness…I have found my lesbian soul mate (in a lesbian yahoo chat room…never dreamed that would happen!)We've been together now for two years and I am truly blessed to have found my love!
It was meant to be for us, and I pray that wonderful Ellen, (with the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen) whom I truly admire… (Portia you're a very lucky woman!) and the lovely Portia are happy for a lifetime!
Congratulations and God bless you both!
Ms Nottee
i love the couple elen and ross but i relly sympathise with the dumped party it absoulutely absurd for the lesbian world
Speechless.. I'm so jealous with Ellen.. I'm obsessed with Portia..! she's so HOT..!!
Im happy for both Ellen and portia
and want to thank Ellen for giving me the courage
to be myself, I came out of the closet a month ago and have never been happier. Ellen you are so beautiful Portia is so very lucky to have you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart…
i htink these two lovley ladies look great together, as long as they are happy with eachother that is all that counts.
I thought years back Ellen stated she was LEAVING HOLLYWOOD FOR GOOD????? Her bank book must of started to shrink so she now has a talk show and it sucks. She is about as entertaining as a fart, another no~talent Hollywood icon making millions because people have no brains that watch them and promote them. They are laughing alllllllll the way to the bank.
I think ellen & portia make a cute couple they look so happy together,im so happy for them. hey do you think ellen will ask portia to marry her. if you want to read this story go to msn.com in search put ellen degeneres and portia de rossi,you will find it there
They r really cute together! Portia is just so beautiful tho seems like she could get any woman, wonder why she went for Ellen?? O well tho Ellen is hilarious and i guess Id love hanging around her too.
haha Best of luck to those 2
This is a response to Bridgette: Ellen is very entertaining. Her style is in a category all her own. She doesn't need the bling bling or anything, she is simple yet unique. If she is able to make a person laugh without selling herself out, than I think that makes a truly remarkable person!!
I agree with Aaron…
Bridgette, honey, your a sad lezzie… I feel so sorry for you
Ellen and Portia rocks! I wish them all the happiness in the world.
Yo, ellen and portia are da bomb! they are definitely cute together! im sooo happy for them!

One of the most frequent question we receive -other than what package we offer – is what are the legal requirements to say I do in Puerto Rico. So we have researched the matter so we can provide you with a solid answer.
As we all do, I first turned to Google to look for an answer but most of what I found is out f date and plain wrong.
So I then turned to my iPhone and started to call government agencies to get an authoritative answer. Between disconnected phone (it seems like every time we have a new governor all the agencies phone numbers change. Of course I may be exaggerating, but that is how it feels…) and not getting anyone to answer the phone, I must say that finding the authoritative answer can be daunting and frustrating as trying to get a hold of someone at a government agency can be difficult, specially if you do not get anyone that speak English.
So, FINALLY, I got my answers and here it is, this are the requirements:
Residency Requirements – To get married in Puerto Rico you don't need to be a resident or an American citizen. The only requirement is wanting to get married on our enchanted island.
If you are an U.S. Citizen you will need a valid id (any U.S. State driver's license or passport will be fine). But, just so we are clear, you do not need a passport to come to Puerto Rico.
If either party is a citizen or resident of a country other than the U.S, a declaration certifying that he or she is not married must be sworn before a Notary Public or other person authorized to administer paths in that country. This declaration must accompany the application.
Marriage License – A marriage license is required and must be requested in writing from the Dept. of Health, Demographic Registry Office, Box 11854, Fernandez Juncos Station, Santurce, PR 00910 (allow 2 months) . You can also call at 787-767-9120 (Yes, this one works but be ready to try several times).
Laboratory Test – According to PR Law 127 of August 11, 2010, If you do not live in Puerto Rico and you are not planning to stay living in Puerto Rico after your wedding, you do not need to take a blood test in Puerto Rico to get married. If you are a Resident of any of the States or are a foreigner, the only thing you need is a medical certificate that meets all the marriage requirement of your state or country of residence. That is it.
Sworn Statement – You will need a sworn statement in which states that you are not a Puerto Rico resident, that the purpose of your visit to Puerto Rico is to get married, and if you are a foreign citizen, that you will not stay any longer that it is stated in your entry visa.
Authentication of Documents – A quick visit to the Demographic Registry and $30 worth of license stamps gets your license authenticated. Every town has a local office. You will first need to go to a "Colecturia" to get the $30 worth of stamps and then you are ready to go to the Demographic Registry Just ask at your hotel to give you direction to the near one.
Identification – Don't forget to bring valid photo identification or your passports. If a Non-U.S. resident, the party must have a valid up to date passport and obtain a certified Declaration that he or she is not married. This declaration must accompany the application.
Other Documents Needed – If you have been divorced or are a widower, please bring the corresponding certificates.
Religious & Civil Ceremonies – For your marriage to be legal, it must be performed either by a registered minister, judge or authorized clergyman.
So, in a nutshell, this is what you have to do:
- Request and obtain your marriage license by mail.
- If you are a non-US citizen a sworn declaration before a Notary Public that neither party is married
- Medical Certificate that states that you meet all your State or Country of origins marriage's requirements.
- Go to a local "Colecturia" (part of the Departamento de Hacienda, PR version of the IRS) and get your $30 worth of license stamps.
- Go to the Demographic Registry with $30 worth of license stamps to gets your license authenticated. Make sure you got all the documents we mentioned earlier. Both the groom and bride must be present.
- You are set!
The Puerto Rico Demographic Registry address is: P.O. Box 11854 Fernandez Juncos Station San Juan, PR 00910 and their phone number is: 787-767-9120.
We are going to visit and interview a representative of the Demographic Registry and we will post it here later.
Hope this is helpful in planning your wedding in paradise.

I feel like I'm not a very good food blogger.
All over Pinterest I see nice springy recipes, things with lemon and fresh berries and fresh vegetables. Things that are in season in other parts of North America. But certainly not in Manitoba. I mean, we take what we can get.
Here in Manitoba, we're just hoping the snow will be all gone by the middle of May. Such is life.
And so, I start feeling a little guilty about posting all these hearty, comforting meals when most of you are thinking bathing suit season. Around here, bathing suit season starts about June 30.
The truth is, that even if the snow was actually 100% gone and it was shorts-and-tank-top weather, I'd probably still be making chowder and mac and cheese.
Because I like chowder and mac and cheese.
And I would happily eat chowder and mac and cheese all year round.
So I'm hoping that I'm not the only one, and that somewhere out there someone sees my posts and pins and thinks, "I could really go for something warm and cheesy." Because apparently it's a theme I've got going on now.
But I promise I'll try to fake it being spring every now and then and make some things with a little less cream and cheese in them.
A while back, I made a breakfast mac and cheese with breakfast sausage and bacon and it got me thinking about adding different flavours to your average mac and cheese. Then I made my Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese, which pairs sweet and smoky bacon jam with sharp cheddar and I got to thinking about adding maple syrup and bacon to some regular mac and cheese.
Because, around here, I put sugar in pretty much everything.
Though I promise to make some healthier things for you every now and then, just to balance things out.
This mac and cheese has a slight sweetness from the maple syrup and a nice smokiness from the bacon that I think really pair well with cheese. What kind of new flavours do you add to your mac and cheese?
Maple Bacon Mac & Cheese
Traditional mac and cheese with an unexpected flavour combo -- maple and bacon! For breakfast, lunch, dinner, whatever 🙂
- 1 lb macaroni (I use whole wheat, 1 regular-sized box)
- 4-5 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2-2 tsp salt (to taste)
- 2 pinches red pepper flakes
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, divided
- In a large pan, cook bacon until browned and somewhat crisp. Remove bacon from fat and drain on paper towel. Set aside.
- Drain fat from pan and white out with a paper towel. Return the pan to the stove and melt ⅓ cup butter over medium heat (alternatively, you could use ⅓ cup drained bacon fat). Add flour and stir until combined. Cook 1 minute.
- Add milk, 1 cup at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth and thickened.
- Add maple syrup, salt, red pepper flakes, cooked bacon and 1 cup shredded cheese. Stir until melted and combined. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook pasta according to directions on box. Drain.
- Combine macaroni and sauce in the pot and pour into a greased 2qt casserole dish or a 9x9" pan. Top with remaining shredded cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until pasta and sauce are hot and bubbling.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is lightly browned.
