Mobile Wedding Hairdresser in Johannesburg before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser?

1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Mobile Hair And Beauty hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.

4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.

Will Getting a Haircut Stop My Hair From Shedding?
There are a variety of methods used to start dreadlocks. The method and size selected mostly depends on the texture and length of the hair. Other variables that affect the lock starting technique include hair's thickness, fullness, and versatility desired. The methods discussed in the article give you insight into the most popular methods used and what works best on various hair lengths and textures. The methods discussed include: two-strand twist, three-strand twist, comb coil twist, palm rolling, latch stitching, and individual braids.
In the palm rolling method, the hair is sectioned and rolled between the palms. This is usually achieved on hair that is longer than 2 inches. For best results, you should not wash your hair until it has started to lock. As the hair grows, the new growth is twisted using a palm rolling or similar twisting method. Alternatively, the new growth can be groomed using the interlocking or latch hook method discussed below.
The comb coils is a method where the hair is sectioned and is twisted into coils using a (rat tail) comb or by hand. This is usually achieved on shorter hair. For best results, you should not wash your hair until it has started to dread. As the hair grows, the new growth is twisted using a palm rolling or similar twisting method. When hair starts to lock, it will begin to not look like comb coils and may start to get fuzzy or begin to poof. However, this is not a cause to create worry because it is all apart of the dreading process.
The last method we will discuss is back combing. Back combing is a common method on hair that is a straighter, less kinky texture. Back combing (also known as "teasing" or "ratting") means repeatedly combing the hair towards the scalp, causing the hair to tangle. For best results, the hair should be at least shoulder length. With this method, the hair cannot be washed until it starts to lock. Because of the straighter texture, it may take 4-6 months for the hair to start to lock. During this time, the hair should NOT get wet. Some type of product, like wax or honey, is usually added to the hair to help facilitate the locking of the hair.
No matter the method you choose to start your locks, understand the commitment you are taking by locking you hair. Happy Locking!

Blame it on Bell.
State lawmakers advanced bills Monday aimed at removing ways that can be used to inflate the pensions of public employees.
A bill approved in the Senate, AB1987, would prohibit employees of some counties from using last-minute retirement incentives to drive up pension benefits, a practice referred to as "pension spiking."
It also would prevent county government retirees from increasing their benefits by immediately returning to a job with their previous employer on a part-time or contract basis.
The legislation also sets standards for the way public retirement systems calculate benefits and requires periodic audits. The bill passed on a 27-1 vote and returns to the Assembly for final action.
It was prompted by revelations in Bell, a city of 37,000 where high salaries for city officials led to an outcry.
A companion bill, SB1425, was approved by the Assembly on a 65-0 vote and returns to the Senate for final action.
That bill would prohibit pension spiking by state employees covered by California's two largest pension funds, the California Public Employees Retirement System and the California State Teachers Retirement System.
"These measures, taken together, constitute real pension reform," said Assemblyman Alberto Torrico, D-Fremont.
The bills passed amid increasing debate over the growing cost of pensions. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has said he would not sign a budget agreement until the Legislature takes steps to reduce pension benefits.

A word from Shelly, the 'Elvis' costume creator:
Declyn, one, is wearing an Elvis costume. The costume was plain so we added jewels and glitter to make it stand out. We used a stick on fake mustache for his sideburns.

Surely they could have come up with that *before* countries started distributing them...
The European Commission is running a three-year pilot project to get national identity cards to work in different countries. The €20m project hopes to make eID cards work in 13 member states. The goal is to find a common set of specifications so different cards will allow access to services in all countries. The Commission …
Good job Viv's involved, otherwise it would be the cheapest crappiest solution, which would be as hackable as the Dutch OV Chipkaart or someother crud "entitlement card" scheme based on the Mifare Classic, like were being knocked out in parts of the UK.
My advice would be take a look at the system in Schiphol airport (known as Privium). Very slick and uses contact cards rather than contactless, so there's a reduced risk (---> 0%) of unauthorised reading.
Good to see the Islamic festival of Eid becoming a fundamental part of the european union. I didn't realise there were greetings cards for it though.
On Acronyms, how about:-
secuRe IDEntity AcroSS bOrders LinkEd
"RIDE ASS'OLE" - Perhaps too American?
seCURE iDentity AcRoss borderS linkEd
"CURED ARSE" - For those desperate times in foreign lands.
A stork to deliver another EU tar-baby. Joy!
@Peter D'Hoye
The reason they waited until after countries started distributing theirs was so they could cause the most amount of disruption to the largest number of people's lives. As far as I can tell, the EU civil service do this sort of thing purely for the giggle of it. They *like* causing people misery. It's really the only thing that explains their actions and behaviour these days.
Sticking to appalling acronymns using random letters, I personally would have seen it as Secure ideNtity Across boRders linKed - SNARK. However, when examined the actual system in use will undoubtedly be Borders Open for Obfuscation, Just Under Microsoft. A boojum if I ever saw one.
...would it not be fairer to give it a truly descriptive acronym; you know, something that actually describes what actually going on rather than just slinging a couple of soundbytes together and trying to pull some meaning out of it in the same way as a magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat. Round of applause? I thought not.
I suggest: Tracking Untested Random Data.
or possibly: Global Observations Built on Suitably Haphazard Information Technology.
Good initiative.
Annoyed that Greece hasn't joined the bandwagon!!
We had a huge issue in 1998 with our current (huge, handwritten) ID cards having a field for the religion and whether that should be filled in... UGH
I just wish they'd join in and get up to speed in IT in this century. When signing up for the equivalent of an NI number, my details were handwritten in a huge sellotape-mended registry book... Think church-kept records in the 17th century...
(I _am_ cringing as I write this... from shame... I wish I could teach them about IT!)
Why not sable?
Secure id Across Borders Linked (e) - makes sense to me....
I still wonder if IBM's acronym for systems that cannot pass soak runs - Failed Under Continuous Test (work it out for yourselves, sheesh....) - is true or apocryphal
The one with the alphabet on the back please....
As far as I know, this is not about ID cards, but about online identity schemes such as the Dutch DigID service, which provides a single sign-on scheme for national and local governments. In the case of DigID this consists of a (self-chosen) loginname, a password and (optionally) authorization SMS-codes.
The ID is that if I work or live in another EU country, I can use my Dutch DigID to get access to online government services of that country.
google "rfid skimming".
Oh, no, sorry, I forgot the easy way: get two people that "know" who you are (or pretend to be), go to the nearest office, declare who you "are", sign all the paperwork and a freshly-minted ID is in your hands.
Homework for the amazed reader: state the country name where this is possible.

| 3.9°C Belfast
Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has no fears that Roberto Soldado will start scoring soon and had no intention of bringing in a new striker in the January transfer window.
Soldado arrived at White Hart in the summer with a £26million price tag and a hard-won reputation as one of La Liga's most lethal finishers.
But although he has found the net 10 times for Spurs in 24 appearances, just half of those goals have come in the Barclays Premier League.
More worrying is the fact that all but one of his league goals have come from the penalty spot.
The Spaniard drew a blank again in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Hull, who had threatened a shock win when £6.5million new boy Shane Long put the Tigers ahead having been teed up by fellow home debutant Nikica Jelavic.
The boost Hull received from their January signings was palpable, but Sherwood's faith in Soldado meant he never intended following them into the market.
"We're all right for strikers here. If we added more players to what we've got it would be impossible to train...too manic," said Sherwood.
"It's just a matter of time before Robbie hits the target again, starts scoring and gets on a run.
"He's a good trainer and he's just got to stick at it. We've all been professional footballers, so we know what it's like.
"What are you going to do? You have to keep training hard, working hard at it and it'll turn around because it always does.
"I'm sure it's not the first barren spell he's had.
"He was all right (against Hull). His hold up play was good, he had a few volleys - sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't.
"I'm not putting pressure on him and he's not putting pressure on himself."
With Soldado off target and Emmanuel Adebayor denied by goalkeeper Steve Harper with his best chance of the match, Tottenham relied on midfielder Paulinho for their equaliser.
The Brazilian was back in the starting XI for the first time this year following ankle trouble, and Sherwood was happy to have him back.
"He's been out for a while and he did well. Jan Vertonghen was back as well and he grew into the game, getting better as the game went on.
"We had Younes Kaboul back on the bench too, so with a few coming back to fitness by the time we play Everton next week we won't be too far off full strength."
While the efforts of Long and Jelavic on their home debuts will have left the Hull faithful in buoyant spirits about the remainder of the campaign, manager Steve Bruce expects it to be tense.
With his side two points above the relegation zone and three points off 10th, he said: "I've never known 10 teams stuck by three or four points.
"It's quite ridiculous. Usually you have one or two adrift by now. As I've said repeatedly, it's a marathon this thing and it's just about to get going.
"When the daffodils come up it starts to get a bit tickly, so it's all to play for."

Before the Christmas holidays, I began rearranging some furniture in my house. I was focusing on my guest bedroom when it occurred to me that I should move my son's baby hutch out of the room because it just didn't go with all of the decor in the room. Our guest bedroom is decorated with antique furniture from both of my grandmother's homes and the hutch just looked out of place. I did not want to get rid of it (way to much sentimental value) and I really had no where in the house to store it....and then it came to me that I should re-purpose it and move it into my craft room. With some help from my husband we hauled it upstairs and it fit perfectly in the room. It looked great in the space but it needed something to make it fit in. Take a "lookie" at what I did in the pictures below....
We all know what the basic baby hutch looks like. I did not get a picture of it plain, but I did get a picture of it before I added the knobs. I had some extra fabric leftover from the curtains and table skirt so I decided to mod podge it onto the back of the top of the hutch. After I glued the fabric, I took some decorative black rope and simply trimmed out the edges using hot glue. I then found some turquoise knobs on clearance for a $1.99 at Anthropologie. After a few of the changes with the fabric and knobs, this hutch is now a useful storage item in my craft room and I just love it. Let me share with you some of the pictures and how I'm using it to store some of my items....
Here is the before and after...I think the knobs give it a whole new look....
The drawers on the right that used to hold bibs, socks, diapers and wipes (cue sad face), now hold tape, hot glue guns, paints and all of my cricut cartridges.....
I can use the shelves to display pictures, hold my ribbons, xyron machine and lazy susan.
The longer drawers hold scrapbook embellishments, ribbon and leftover fabric....
While we are in my craft room, I re-arranged a few things in here as well. If you are new to my blog and haven't seen my craft room, then welcome...hope you enjoy!!!!
With the help of my father, I converted one of the extra bedrooms in our home to a place where I go to create, blog, craft and escape the stresses of life. Most of the furniture in the room was hand-made by my Dad, so it has been customized to fit my needs - - thanks Dad! You will also see a few thrift store conversions that I love.
The desk is the area where I do a lot of the work. It holds my Cricut, trinkets and television. It is just the right height so that I can either sit or stand while working. I do most of my hardcore scrapbooking here as it offers plenty of space. The fabric around the table was a simple project and maintains the theme of the decor. We simply cut the material, hemmed the edges and secured to the table with curtain rods. Not only does it look good, it also serves as great storage!
This is by far my favorite piece in the room. My Dad and I designed the island after seeing a similar table in a magazine. There are twenty narrow slots along one side, which allow me to store the scrapbook paper so it is visible and accessible. I placed baskets in each of the larger cubbies to hold ribbon, glitter, paper pads and stickers. The opposite side of the table contains a larger, open cubby, which I use to store wrapping paper. The lazy susan on top was purchased at a local craft store and holds all of my essential tools (scissors, markers, pens, glue, etc.).
I purchased the bar stools at a local estate sale for $10 each. I re-upholstered the cushions and gave them a fresh coat of paint. They are the perfect height and make a great addition to the island!
The bookcase was another one of my Dad's creations. This piece provides much needed storage space for items that I use to craft. There are 12 cubbies in all, which are used to hold completed scrapbooks, storage baskets, paper and jewelry making supplies.
Most of the accessories were found at local thrift stores. The antique lazy susan is one of my favorites! The pegboard was made from an open stock frame and pegboard that I painted. The curtains are made from an old windowpane purchased during antique weekend in Warrenton, TX. Curtains were attached using magnets and binder clips! The words CREATE are vinyl letters cut from the Cricut machine.
Thanks for stopping by...hope you have a great week!

I am new to C++ programming, and have this homework where I need to find all the perfect numbers to 1000.
I have worked on this problem for a while now, and really trying to get it figured out, but I'm doing something wrong. I was wondering if someone could turn my head as to what it is.
This is just a snippet of the code in question. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.Code:int testNum = 2; //the number to be tested to see if its perfect - i started it ith 2 since the perfect number must be the sum of all divisors excluding itself. int testDiv; //this sets test divisors to see if it goes into the number int accum = 0; // sums the divisors to see if they equal the test number int counter = 2; // count started at 2 siunce I know that there are none at 1 while( counter < 1000) { for (int testDiv = 1; testDiv < testNum; testDiv++) { if(testNum % testDiv == 0) { accum += testDiv; } if (accum == testNum) { cout << testNum << " is a perfect number less than 1000." <<endl; } } counter++; testNum++;

DU would be logical WAC or WCC hoop partner with BYU
Unlike Tiger and Elin, no one knows if the Mountain West-BYU marriage can be saved.
Or if either party is even trying for reconciliation.
Mum's the word out of the Mountain West Conference on BYU negotiations, if any.
BYU spokesman Duff Tittle didn't return calls.
ESPN spokesman Mike Humes emailed "we don't have any additional comments."
The most "no comment" I received all day Monday was from Denver athletic director Peg Bradley-Doppes via DU sports information director.
If BYU goes independent in football and doesn't want to join a six-school Western Athletic Conference for basketball and other sports, then perhaps BYU and non-football University of Denver could make it eight.
DU has made no secret of seeking a league home outside the geographically challenging Sun Belt Conference. Likewise, WAC commissioner Karl Benson said on his conference call last week he's acknowledged past interest from DU as a non-football member.
The immediate priority for the WAC is growing its football membership in the wake of losing Fresno State and Nevada to the MWC.
About the only other place for BYU to look for its remaining sports menu is the Gonzaga-owned West Coast Conference. There are eight schools in the league comprised of religious-affiliated universities. If BYU goes in, DU could be a logical travel partner.
Academically, the WCC has been DU's goal all along.
Meanwhile, Joe Scott takes his basketball team on a two-week tour to Spain today. There's always the outside chance the Pioneers could have a future in a different league by the time they return.

I was scrolling through my news feed, minding my own (friends') business, when I was hit with the blinding orange glow of a someecard. I tried to look away, but it was no good.
"Dammit, this is too true," I wrote. Along a signature image of Victorian era courtship was the phrase, "I'm looking to meet someone smart, attractive, and able to not check email during our date."
I laughed. I shared. And then I sighed.
Facebook's algorithm, like Google's, is a mystery, but attentive page managers know — if you want your message to soar, you put it on an image. Photos get up to four times as much engagement as other kinds of updates, according to an analysis this year by SocialMediaToday. They're seen more and shared more, and no wonder: In a page or feed drowned in text, pictures pop.
The result?
Every meme, joke, slogan and cheesy quote you've never heard dressed in a font, stamped on a picture of a sunset or a waterfall (if not condescending Wonka, the most interesting man in the world or an unimpressed gymnast) and shipped into the social Web to go forth and multiply.
"In 2000 years, archaeologists will marvel at this period in human civilization where all communication was done using text superimposed on images," Seattle Google product manager Umesh Unnikrishnan wrote on my wall. "They'll christen this the Memozoic Era."
It's not that putting messages on images makes them any less interesting, hilarious or, in far too many cases, true. But there's something about how much it amplifies the meaning, and how quickly my finger will fly to that "like" button — that makes me feel less like a person and more like a megaphone.
The message is rarely serious. But when it is, that's kind of a big deal.
"Partisan message with emphasis on values and maybe a humorous twist superimposed over a heroic graphic," reads a text-on-image from Upworthy.com that found its way to my feed last month. "Share and Like so we can crush our foes in November!"
A newsy-ish child of the social media age, Upworthy operates with a mission of making "meaningful" stories as "viral" as what you'll find on a Cheezburger site, footnoting each with a casual and presumptuous plea — "Did you already share this? No? Share it now."
One could argue how "meaningful" it is to know "Which Famous Sisters Could Literally Kick Your Ass," but if you look at Upworthy's Facebook photos or the whole articles it runs as images, it's clear its staff understands the power of pictures — and exploits it.
That's nothing, though, compared to BuzzFeed, a viral wonderland that exists solely, it seems, to have its content shared. Compare its home page to any news site. It relies so much on images for impact, you have to hover over the thumbnails at the top to know what the stories they link to are even about.
Sometimes, they're about nothing more than images themselves. And not just single images. Iterations of images justified by a meme — like the ridiculously photogenic football player — and armed with different superimposed captions, one smiling receiver after another after another, because hey. Something's got to work. And if it doesn't, no problem: The last image lets you write a caption in yourself.
The text-on-image stuff of the Memozoic Era runs on spin-offs. Meme Generator is its nursery and Cheezburger's Know Your Meme is its dutiful catalog. Heard of the most interesting man in the world? How about the most interesting cat in the world? McKayla is not impressed. Well, neither is Spock.
Messages superimposed on images sell so well, I don't always trust myself to buy them. The pitch is too slick. The aim too transparent. The tease too good.
The only way I know I'm in control, it seems, is by not sharing.
Except, of course, when I can't resist.
Can even this column be put on an image? You bet. Thanks to designer David Hoang for putting it together.

Game Informer Magazine has revealed that the new Gears of War game teased earlier this week will be called Gears of War: Judgment, and will feature franchise characters Baird and Cole, possibly in more central roles.
From Game Informer:
The new installment in Epic's million-dollar franchise is Gears of War: Judgment. The July cover of Game Informer shows series mainstay Damon Baird shackled as the Locust hordes rage around him. Augustus "Cole Train" Cole, soldier and world-famous Thrashball player, dons our second cover image in the same precarious situation.
As Stephen points out, Gears of War: Judgment makes for a pretty excellent acronym: "GOWJ," which can be read like a more badass way of spelling "Gouge."
Here's the second cover, featuring Cole Train:

The Market Street at Heath Brook shopping mall has a new owner, the culmination of a lengthy and complex foreclosure, bankruptcy and auction process.
The Market Street at Heath Brook shopping mall has new owners, the culmination of a lengthy and complex foreclosure, bankruptcy and auction process.
A Greenwich, Conn.-based company bought the 60-acre outdoor mall off State Road 200 and west of Interstate 75 for $16.5 million. The sale did not include the 11.4-acre Dillard's Inc. property, which the department store conglomerate purchased earlier this year.
Contrarian Capital Management, LLC, through subsidiary Crefii-Market Street Holdings, LLC, purchased the property at a May auction for a fraction of the mall's original $102 million price tag. A representative of Dallas-based MGHerring Group told the Star-Banner Tuesday that MGHerring Group and Dallas-based Tricom Real Estate Group, also purchased the outdoor mall. Both MGHerring and Tricom develop shopping centers and malls.
MGHerring President and CEO Gar Herring said in an AP story last week the purchase deal involved the two Dallas-based companies and Contrarian. MGHerring will manage the mall. It wasn't immediately clear what the relationship is between the three investors.
Late last month, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Tampa approved the sale and disbursements.
Contrarian specializes in buying distressed properties and is owned by its nearly 50 partners and employees. Its portfolio of global assets under management exceeds $3.6 billion, according to documents the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
When it comes to real estate, Contrarian buys distressed and undervalued properties in the $5 million to $50 million range, according to the company's website. Its investments vary and have included office buildings and an industrial oil processing firm.
Contrarian representatives did not return telephone calls for this story. Neither did Tricom Real Estate Group, the company that oversees leases for the mall.
Commercial Realtor Bartow McDonald, managing director of Sperry Van Ness in Ocala, said the important issue is now whether the long-term vision for Market Street will change and how effective Contrarian will be at filling the mall's empty stores.
"The new cost basis will give the new owners a lot of flexibility," said McDonald, who was not involved in the sale. "I think it could be a lot more attractive now to local retailers."
But Contrarian could have different plans for the 5-year-old outdoor mall, which is anchored by Dillard's and Dick's Sporting Goods.
One strategy, McDonald said, could be to attract larger tenants. That could include demolishing part of the mall in order to rebuild and offer larger retail spaces instead of the current smaller shops.
"To me that (the prospect of a new long-term strategy) is what's exciting," McDonald said. "Show us a new vision. Show us what great things can happen at this great price."
The purchase of the property was only the latest chapter in a long saga of problems that plagued Ocala Shoppes, LLC, the original owners of the outdoor mall.
Rumors of the mall's financial problems began almost as soon as construction was completed in 2008.
Those rumors only grew when much of the retail space remained empty as the recession wore on. Some vendors sued Ocala Shoppes, claiming they weren't getting paid for services rendered.
The parent company of Ocala Shoppes, United American Realty Corp., denied the rumors of financial problems or that the business would close its doors.
Ocala Shoppes filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January. The move came after Bank of America, in 2012, filed a foreclosure suit.
About that time, no one at Tampa-based United American Realty Corp. would answer telephone calls. It still operates a website and lists Market Street as one of its seven large-scale retail plazas.
In the foreclosure lawsuit, Bank of America said Ocala Shoppes owed more than $130.9 million in unpaid loans, fees and charges. That includes $99.2 million on the original mortgage, about $15.3 million in past due interest, and $15.1 million in late charges.
Rather than pursuing the foreclosure lawsuit, Bank of America agreed to the May auction, according to bankruptcy court documents. Of the $16.5 million sales price, the bank is scheduled to receive about $14 million.
Court documents show that Ocala Shoppes was struggling to find tenants ever since the outdoor mall opened its doors in 2008. That led to problems making debt payments to Bank of America and paying off the mortgage as scheduled in 2010.
McDonald said he was not surprised at the final $16.5 million sales price.
He said it was an accurate reflection of the market and such a relatively low price allows for people to take over struggling commercial real estate and infuse it with new life.
The purchase shows that the property has great promise, and that Contrarian saw its financial possibilities.
"The worst is behind us," McDonald said.

Project Awakened is supposed to be a big open-world action game that lets you play as any super-hero you could dream up.
But it's $300,000 short of its Kickstarter goal with just five days to go. That's probably why we now get to see a glimpse of what the next-gen Unreal Engine 4 could do for this game. That's what Awakened's team at Phosphor Games are showing in the video above.

Big news! I'm moving to Thailand. Phuket to be precise. This may seem a bit out of the blue but if you follow me on Twitter, you'll have noticed me (t)wittering on for the last few months about visas and form-filling, car-booting and packing boxes – with a fair amount of despair and tears thrown in along the way. At times, it's felt like it was never going to happen but – hooray! – it's finally all come together and it won't be long now until I'm blogging from the beach. But, as excited as I am to go, I'm also a little bit sad to be saying my goodbyes. The only thing for it, is to bow out of Blighty in style. So when the swanky celeb-frequented Baglioni Hotel in London invited me a long for a visit how could I say no?
Lucky Stars: Al Pacino, Halle Berry, Will Smith and Italian film producer Dino di Laurntiis have all been spotted soaking up la dolce vita at the Baglioni. Other big Hollywood names have checked in here too but if I tell, I may find myself "sleeping with the fishes".
The Lowdown
The the first thing I noticed as I walked into the Baglioni's bijoux lobby, was the wonderful fragrance that wafted around me. It's not a particularly new trend for hotels to have their own signature scent but this one was particularly inviting, kind of citrusy and warm, instantly making me think of Mediterranean climes. The decor too, was conducive to on-the-spot relaxation; all flattering lighting, polished walls and deep velvet sofas, with the sound of a tinkling wall of water cascading in the background. The crowd of at-ease guests and power-lunchers that peppered the room were a stylish bunch, lots of suited and booted business-types and raven-haired beauties – my husband straightened his back and I immediately wished I'd worn bigger earrings.
We could get dressed up later though. For the minute all we wanted to do was rid ourselves of bags and relax. It had been a rather demanding morning, up at 5 a.m. for what turned out to be a five hour drive down from Manchester followed by a visit to Thai embassy, but equanimity was quickly restored with a friendly welcome from the reception desk. We'd arrived a little bit earlier than expected so were informed that our room wouldn't be ready for another couple of hours. But, this was hardly an inconvenience: the hotel couldn't be in a more desirable London location, with Kensington High Street just around the corner and Hyde Park opposite. We toddled off for a spot of lunch and a hand-in-hand stroll around the park and before we knew it we were checking into our executive suite with splendid views of the pretty green places we'd just been exploring.
Celebrity guests usually to opt for the opulent Royal Suite, a five-bedroom, high-ceilinged number with sweeping views of Kensington and Hyde Park. We were privileged to have room 505, a spacious top-floor room with terrific park views, an enormous marshmallow-soft bed and a ridiculously decadent black marble bathroom stocked with divine-smelling Baglioni amenities. There weren't any bedside sockets – where to charge? – and the black-out blinds had an inch gap around them making for an early rise but other than that, I lapped up the chic Italian designer feel of it all.
The Highlights
The Baglioni has 67 rooms, with 49 suites, though the smooth service and discreet atmosphere, allow you to feel like you're the only people staying there. It was only when we returned downstairs for dinner at the glam Brunello restaurant that we remembered there was a world outside of our gold-clad cocoon of a room. The mod-Baroque dining space with its central glass bar and Murano glass chandeliers made for a rather theatrical setting for what would be an absolutely delicious meal.
We opted for flutes of Prosecco, and flirted with the excellent wine list before settling on a bottle of Contado Aglianico del Molise, as recommended by the very clever sommelier. Hubby was raised in Italy and is sometimes guilty of being a little bit picky when it comes to Italian food, but he couldn't fault any of the three courses. Silky carpaccio dotted with raw baby vegetables, rocket and Parmesan, was followed by melt-in-the-mouth tortelli di burrata with burnt butter and hazelnut, and a delightfully light white chocolate mousse with passionfruit sorbet. After dinner, we really should have ventured out for a nightcap in Knightsbridge but given our classy surroundings it seemed madness to leave, so we sat outside on the terrace sipping on digestivi. Perfetto.
The next morning, we lingered over breakfast, reluctant to leave our little slice of the sweet life in London, but sadly the time to say ciao came around all too quickly – just as it seems to be doing in real life. As we walked through the revolving doors to our waiting car, we wondered what lay ahead in Thailand and thanked the Baglioni for sending us off in style.

Gerard Butler began negotiations with Relativity to topline the adaptation of the sci-fi comic Afterburn in 2010. Antoine Fuqua was attached to direct at the time, but has since moved on. Butler is still interested in the project if he can work it into his schedule, so the studio is motivated to find a Fuqua replacement. Heat Vision reports that Tommy Wirkola is now attached to direct and rewrite the script. The Norwegian director parlayed the buzz surrounding his 2009 Nazi zombie flick Dead Snow into a high-profile English-language debut, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Wirkola also directed a Norwegian parody of Kill Bill, so it's clear the man likes to blur his genres. In fact, though "set in a future where solar flares have left half the world a ravaged wasteland filled with mutants and pirates," Afterburn sounds like the most straightforward story he's ever faced. Hit the jump for the full synopsis of Scott Chitwood and Paul Ens' graphic novel.
In the near future, a massive solar flare strikes the dayside of the Earth, utterly destroying the Eastern Hemisphere. Europe, Africa, Asia, India and Russia are turned into wastelands. What life remains becomes mutated from radiation and fallout. This is the backdrop for Red 5 Comics' adventure series, AFTERBURN.
Beneath the ash, death and tragedy, treasures both modern and ancient lay unclaimed. Enter Jake and his team of "recovery experts". For the right price, they are willing to enter the quarantine zone to retrieve items for rich Western clients. The Mona Lisa, the Rosetta Stone, the Crown Jewels—no job is too big or small. Along the way, they must face rival treasure hunters, rogue armies, pirate gangs, and hostile mutants. But as the saying goes—amid chaos, there's profit. [Red 5 Comics]
Tobey Maguire, Neal Moritz (21 Jump Street), Toby Jaffe (Prom Night), and Relativity's Ryan Kavanaugh (Mirror Mirror) are producing Afterburn.

Fortunately, most childhood falls or blows to the head result in injury to the scalp only, which is usually more frightening than threatening. An internal head injury could have more serious implications because the skull
Head injuries fall into two categories:
- external (usually scalp) injuries
- internal head injuries, which may involve the skull, the blood vessels within the skull, or the brain
Fortunately, most childhood falls or blows to the head result in injury to the scalp only, which is usually more frightening than threatening. An internal head injury could have more serious implications because the skull serves as the protective helmet for the delicate brain.
External (Scalp) Injury
The scalp is rich with blood vessels, so even a minor cut there can bleed profusely. The "goose egg" or swelling that may appear after a head blow is the result of the scalp's veins leaking fluid or blood into (and under) the scalp. It may take days or even weeks to disappear.
What to look for and what to do:
- Call the doctor if your child is an infant; has lost consciousness, even momentarily; or if a child of any age has any of these symptoms:
- won't stop crying
- complains of head and neck pain
- becomes difficult to console
- isn't walking normally
- If your child is not an infant, has not lost consciousness, and is alert and behaving normally after the fall or blow:
- Apply an ice pack or instant cold pack to the injured area for 20 minutes. If you use ice, always wrap it in a washcloth or sock; ice applied directly to bare skin can cause frostbite.
- Observe your child carefully for the next 24 hours. If you notice any of the signs of internal injury (see below), call your doctor immediately.
- If the incident has occurred close to bedtime or naptime and your child falls asleep soon afterward, check in every few hours to look for twitching limbs or disturbances in color or breathing.
- If color and breathing are normal, and you observe or sense no other abnormalities, let your child sleep (unless the doctor has advised otherwise). There's no need to keep a child awake after a head injury.
- If color and/or breathing are abnormal, or if you aren't comfortable with your child's appearance (trust your instincts), arouse your child partially by sitting him or her up. Your child should fuss a bit and attempt to resettle. If he or she doesn't protest, try to awaken your child fully. If your child can't be awakened or shows any signs of internal injury (see below), call the doctor or an ambulance.
Suspected Internal Injury
The brain is cushioned by cerebrospinal fluid, but a severe blow to the head may knock the brain into the side of the skull or tear blood vessels. Any internal head injury — fractured skull, torn blood vessels, or damage to the brain itself — can be serious and possibly life threatening.
Different levels of injury require different levels of concern. It can be difficult to determine the level of injury, so it's always wise to discuss a head injury with your doctor. A clear indicator of a more serious injury is when a child loses consciousness or has signs of confusion.
What to Look for and What to Do
Call an ambulance if your child shows any of these symptoms:
- unconsciousness
- abnormal breathing
- obvious serious wound or fracture
- bleeding or clear fluid from the nose, ear, or mouth
- disturbance of speech or vision
- pupils of unequal size
- weakness or paralysis
- dizziness
- neck pain or stiffness
- seizure
- vomiting more than two to three times
- loss of bladder or bowel control
If your child is unconscious:
- Do not try to move your child in case there is a neck or spine injury.
- Call for help.
- If you've been trained in CPR, follow the recommendations if they're appropriate.
- Turn a child who is vomiting or having a seizure onto his or her side while trying to keep the head and neck straight. This will help prevent choking and provide protection in case of neck and spine injury.
- If there's swelling, apply an ice pack or cold pack.
If your child is conscious:
- Do your best to keep your child calm and still.
- If there's bleeding, apply a sterile bandage.
- Do not attempt to cleanse the wound, which may aggravate bleeding and/or cause serious complications if the skull is fractured.
- Do not apply direct pressure to the wound if you suspect the skull is fractured.
- Do not remove any object that's stuck in the wound.
Concussions are also a type of internal head injury. A concussion is the temporary loss of normal brain function due to an injury. Repeated concussions can result in permanent injury to the brain. However, it's possible to get a concussion that's mild and just requires observation.
One of the most common reasons kids get concussions is through sports, so make sure they wear appropriate protective gear and don't continue to play if they've had a head injury.
If your child sustains an injury to the head, watch for these signs of a possible concussion:
- "seeing stars" and feeling dazed, dizzy, or lightheaded
- memory loss, such as trouble remembering what happened right before and after the injury
- nausea or vomiting
- headaches
- blurred vision and sensitivity to light
- slurred speech or saying things that don't make sense
- difficulty concentrating, thinking, or making decisions
- difficulty with coordination or balance (such as being unable to catch a ball or other easy tasks)
- feeling anxious or irritable for no apparent reason
- feeling overly tired
If you suspect a concussion, call your doctor for further instructions.
Preventing Head Injuries
It's impossible to prevent kids from ever being injured, but there are ways to help prevent head blows.
Make sure that:
- your home is childproofed to prevent household accidents
- your kids always wear appropriate headgear and safety equipment when biking. Wearing a bike helmet, for instance, reduces the risk of concussion by about 85%. kids always use a seat belt or child safety seat
- your child takes it easy after a head injury, especially after a concussion, and doesn't go back to rough play or playing sports until the injury has healed. (If your child reinjures the brain while it's still healing, it will take even more time to completely heal. Each time a person has a concussion, it does additional damage.)

Functional Neurosurgery
Brachial Plexus Injuries
Physicians at the Pediatric Neurosurgery Program evaluate and treat brachial plexus injuries following difficult childbirth or after sustaining a traumatic injury. Participants in the Brachial Plexus Injury Program include neurosurgeons, neurologists, orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons and rehabilitation specialists.
Medically Intractable Epilepsy
Epilepsy is an intermittent derangement of the nervous system due to a sudden, excessive, disorderly electrical discharge of cerebral neurons. More than two-thirds of all epilepsy begins in childhood, when seizures can have damaging results on the child's psychological and physical development. Surgical treatment is highly effective in the treatment of many of the epilepsies that have not responded to medical therapy. Nearly 40 percent of children with partial epilepsy are candidates for surgical therapy.
Pediatric neurosurgeons work in close association with a team of pediatric neurologists and social workers to evaluate children with medically intractable epilepsy to provide the best surgical management and care. The surgeons are experienced in performing hemispherectomies, lobectomies, lesionectomies and placement of vagal nerve stimulators.
Spasticity Surgery
Care of children with spasticity requires a comprehensive team of pediatric specialists who can evaluate and treat the children who might benefit from selective dorsal rhizotomy or placement of Baclofen pump. Intramuscular Botulinum toxin injections can also be effective to reduce spasticity in children and adults. In cooperation with our multidisciplinary pediatric team, the Program's physicians strive to improve the lives of patients with spasticity.
The physicians at Cedars-Sinai Spasticity Program perform this surgery.

Anne Hathaway scores early victory at 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards
The star, who landed a Golden Globe for her performance in the movie musical earlier this month (Jan13), beat Sally Field (Lincoln), Helen Hunt (The Sessions), Nicole Kidman (The Paperboy) and Dame Maggie Smith (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) to take home the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.
As she accepted the award, Hathaway paid tribute to the cast of her two big films of 2012, The Dark Knight Rises and Les Miserables, telling the audience: "I just want to thank my casts, because I've been in two great casts this year – The Dark Knight Rises and Les Miserables and I feel like as an actor, what you learn from one job, you use in the next, and I learned so much from The Dark Knight that I used in Les Mis. Thank you, you guys."
Meanwhile, Tommy Lee Jones celebrated an early victory for the male equivalent for his role in historical epic Lincoln, triumphing over Alan Arkin (Argo), Javier Bardem (Skyfall), Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master).
Jones was not present to receive his award, so presenter Kidman accepted it on his behalf.
The 19th Annual SAG Awards are taking place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

In addition to the nutritional benefits, breastfeeding promotes a unique and emotional connection between mother and baby. In the policy statement, "Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk," published in the March 2012 issue of Pediatrics (published online Feb. 27), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reaffirms its recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for about the first six months of a baby's life, followed by breastfeeding in combination with the introduction of complementary foods until at least 12 months of age, and continuation of breastfeeding for as long as mutually desired by mother and baby. This recommendation is supported by the health outcomes of exclusively breastfed infants and infants who never or only partially breastfed. Breastfeeding provides a protective effect against respiratory illnesses, ear infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and allergies including asthma, eczema and atopic dermatitis. The rate of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is reduced by over a third in breastfed babies, and there is a 15 percent to 30 percent reduction in adolescent and adult obesity in breastfed vs. non-breastfed infants. Approximately 75 percent of newborn infants initiate breastfeeding. Hospital routines more and more attempt to accommodate the breastfeeding mother. Pediatricians promote the advantages of breastfeeding to mothers and infants, as well as the health risks of not breastfeeding. As such, choosing to breastfeed should be considered an investment in the short- and long-term health of the infant, rather than a lifestyle choice. Editor's Note: Updated parent information on breastfeeding will be available Feb. 27 on the AAP parenting website at www.healthychildren.org/breastfeeding. Beginning March 8, www.HealthyChildren.org will be giving away free copies of the AAP book "New Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding," to people who register on the website while supplies last. ### The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

Or, maybe, small Canadian businesses would be more accurate. Joe Cosentino and a group of four small independent distributors have founded the Canadian Association of Independent Security Distributors, which will operate something like a co-op, offering members collective buying power. I'll have an interview with Cosentino in our November issue, but he basically just says this is a way of leveling the playing field for independent distributors who are competing with the likes of ADT and Tri-Ed, who obviously have a little bit of buying power of their own.
The CAISD is hoping for a total of about 40 paying members, but there will also be an opportunity for dealers to join as free memebers, and receive discounts on products and even services in the way that monitoring centers can often offer deals on telecom services and the like. It's based in Toronto, but there's nothing in the group's by-laws that says you have to be a Maple Leafs fan.

The 90's definitely had the best inserts and parallels but the early 2000's had some great ones as well. This thread is dedicated to those cards that showed up a few years too late.

Here are a few... More to come....
What I like about this thread is that it allows me to bring Yount to the party. He has like 8 cards from '99 and NOTHING after '94 (which might have saved me a TON of money if you think about it ).
Also, there is a noticable lack of autographs in the 90s.
Anyway, back in a moment with scans...
The real question is, do we go to 2005 with this thread? B/C that opens up Absolute and Reflections with thier great sets.

A number of years ago, I read Lee and Bob Woodruff's book, In An Instant, the moving and revealing story of how their lives were affected when an IED went off near the tank Bob was riding in while embedded with the US military in Iraq. The book contains many tales of perseverance, of kindness, and of what marriage, family and friends really mean, some of which I have written about previously.
What I want to focus on now is the title, In An Instant. The book has taken up semi-permanent residence in our restroom and I find myself frequently confronted by the title, In An Instant. And it makes me reflect. Our lives can be changed – dramatically so – in an instant. It focuses me on how precious and important even a nanosecond can be. And how we need to maintain our alertness and consciousness even for the briefest of instants.
Someone I know described how she briefly turned around to hand her child a drink in the car and hit a pedestrian crossing the street. An engineer turned away momentarily to text some young friends and, in an instant, caused a massive train wreck. In a drunken instant a broker may move millions of dollars to the wrong investment and bankrupt himself and his company. In an instant, some fanatic can put their finger on the trigger of a nuclear warhead and destroy the lives of thousands of civilians.
Instants matter. And it's not just in other people's lives, in other people's stories. In an instant we may utter hurtful words that ruin friendships, careers, marriages – words that can't be taken back. In an instant we can say something demeaning to our children, a harsh line of criticism that may cause serious damage to their sense of self. In an instant, we can give the wrong advice to a friend and grave harm may result. In an instant, we may turn our head away and not see that child run into the street.
Lives are shaped by those instants. And it's hard to be constantly vigilant. But the yetzer hara – that part of us that tries to trip us up and lower ourselves – lies in wait for those lax moments and we need to be ever battle-ready. In fact, we need to be proactive – on guard, on hyper-alert – and take initiative in a positive direction.
After all, it's not just negative situations or behaviors that occur in an instant. Positive differences can be made in an instant as well.
In an instant, our smile can brighten someone's day. In an instant, our "Good morning" can make another person feel noticed. In an instant, our "How are you?" can show a fellow human being we care. In an instant, we can pick up papers that someone else dropped. In an instant, we can put change in someone's meter so they don't get a ticket. In (slightly more than) an instant, we can help carry someone's groceries to their car. In an instant, we can hold open a door or give up a seat or let someone with two items in front of us in line. In an instant, we can invite a new acquaintance to join us for an evening out. In an instant, we can make a lifelong commitment to marriage. In an instant, we can say "I love you" – and mean it. In an instant, we can say thank you to the Almighty for all the blessings He has given us.
Instants are powerful. We shouldn't dismiss them or treat them cavalierly. Lives – ours and those around us – can be changed - in an instant.

Cocktail 101: How to Survive a Hangover
All the basics of the bar.
Sunday morning coming down. Wake up around 11, stumble into the bathroom for a quick shower. Crawl out the door to the neighborhood diner. Find yourself ordering, yet again, the version of steak and eggs they do where the steak is chicken-fried and so damn good.
The older I get, the less certain the world seems. One thing that I can probably always count on, though, is the morning after, and oh how I suffer.
Another of life's certainties? As long as there are hangovers, some quack will always want to sell you a hangover cure. These days, they're usually pills or powders. Time and method of delivery vary. Sometimes, you take it before bed; other times, you take it upon rising the next morning. Or afternoon. Or evening.
As to their efficacy, I'm a devout skeptic. I don't think a month passes without a public-relations agent sending me an email message to offer me the latest potion, powder, or tincture, all guaranteed to raise the gloom and lift the fog from my eyes.
In some ways, it seems like a cheat.
I prefer to own my hangovers, to adult-up and admit to myself that I deserve to feel this way:
- I should have left the bar at 2 a.m. instead of at last call.
- Two Old Fashioneds while watching Mad Men are probably enough—three is too many, and four?
- I should have had more water before falling into bed.
- And why did I think it was smart to allow brunch drinks to lead to afternoon dive-bar drinks and those to turn into evening boozing?
(Sometimes I wonder how I survived my 20s. And my 30s, for that matter.)
I've never found a solution that completely erases the feeling of hangover. At best, I can alleviate the symptoms somewhat, but I can't ever make them all go away. And there's a reason for this: alcohol is a toxin, and you've just had a very large amount of it. Your body hates you right now, and the only real cure is time...time to let your body recover from the punishment you threw its way.
First of all, a caveat: I am not a physician, nor do I play one on TV. I keep aspirin around for headaches and minor pain elsewhere, whether I've been drinking or not. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen work as well, but none of them do more than silence the dull ache in my brain. Note, too, that if you take acetaminophen and, to a lesser degree, ibuprofen, hold off until all alcohol has left your system. Acetaminophen, especially, is double-plus-bad when consumed with booze. The risk of liver damage is shockingly high. Wait until the next morning, please.
Also, no matter what you take, it's best when taken with vast quantities of...
No matter how much water I have before bed, when I wake up hungover, I also wake up thirsty. Usually very thirsty. The only thing that helps is water or sometimes juice. Drinking alcohol, as we all know, dehydrates the body and nothing rehydrates better than water. Some people swear by Gatorade and other electrolyte-enhancers, but I'd rather get electrolytes from natural sources than from neon-colored beverages.
Often, what plagues me most isn't the hangover itself, but the nasty leg spasms I get while sleeping off the boozing. I've been known to awaken sleeping companions by yelling in the middle of the night when my leg suddenly Charley-horses. If I have the presence of mind to do so, and if I can actually keep any food down, I like to have a banana before bed. Muscle spasms are the result of dehydration and depletion of potassium and other electrolytes.
Coconut Water
Another natural source for electrolyte replenishment is coconut water, which is high in potassium, minerals, and antioxidants. Coconut water's other health claims (supposedly, it prevents cancer and possibly also bubonic plague) may be overblown, but it'll definitely help perk you up after a bender. Provided you like the taste, that is. Not everyone does.
Ironically, perhaps, the first time I ever tried coconut water, it was blended with gin and lime juice, in a revival of a "lost" cocktail called the Green Isaacs Special, devised by Ernest Hemingway during his time in the Bahamas, and first described in his posthumous novel Islands in the Stream. It's a decent enough drink, but it may not actually help you with a hangover, unless you're a fan of hair-of-the-dog remedies.
Bloody Mary
Speaking of hairs of the dog, the Bloody Mary has got to be the queen of them all. Unless you don't like savory drinks, what's not to love? You get nutritious tomato juice, lemon or lime, salt, pepper, celery—it's a salad in a glass, restorative and healthy! (Looking for a recipe? Try this one.)
I'll have mine with gin, though, please, or aquavit.
Corpse Revivers, Fog Cutters, Painkillers, and Other Hangover Cocktails
An entire category of cocktail arose in the 19th and 20th centuries, just for the purpose of hangover alleviation. Hangover cocktails have certain things in common: they're usually relatively low in alcohol and full of good things like fresh fruit juices and sometimes raw egg. The idea isn't necessarily to get drunk again; it's to have just enough booze that you no longer care about your hangover.
Greasy Food and More Greasy Food
My personal favorite, actually. On a typical morning-after, I like to find a good brunch spot and order a plateful of bacon and/or sausage, eggs over-easy, and fried potatoes. Now, I won't argue that a plate of fried food makes me feel any better physically. What I think it does, though, is hit at the psychological aspects of a hangover, what Kingsley Amis called the "metaphysical hangover," the feeling that you are utterly alone in the universe, suck terribly at life, and will probably die soon and painfully. Having a delicious brunch to focus your attention on can turn that philosophic dread around pretty quickly.
How about you; what's your favorite hangover remedy?

22.214.171.124 Summary of optimal fingerprinting studies
Results from optimal fingerprint methods indicate a discernible human influence on climate in temperature observations at the surface and aloft and over a range of applications. These methods can also provide a quantitative estimate of the magnitude of this influence. The use of a number of forced climate signals, and the extensive treatment of various (but not all) sources of uncertainty increases our confidence that a considerable part of the recent warming can be attributed to anthropogenic influences. The estimated signals and scaling factors remain subject to the considerable uncertainty in our knowledge of historic climate forcing from sources other than greenhouse gases. While estimates of the amplitude of a single anthropogenic signal are quite consistent between different model signals (see Figures 12.10, 12.12) and different approaches, joint estimates of the amplitude of several signals vary between models and approaches. Thus quantitative separation of the observed warming into anthropogenic and naturally forced components requires considerable caution. Nonetheless, all recent studies reject natural forcing and internal variability alone as a possible explanation of recent climate change. Analyses based on a single anthropogenic signal focusing on continental and global scales indicate that:
Analyses based on multiple anthropogenic and natural signals indicate that:
Results based on variables other than continental and global scale temperature are more ambiguous.

So its been almost two weeks since I've been here, which gives me plenty of time to acclimatize to this place, which is tiny, tiny, tiny by Mumbai standards...of course, that was to be expected, but I had no idea how absolutely tiny it is..There are around 5-6 roads, having some shops, a residential area which to me seemed absolutely deserted, but then people do have to live somewhere dont they, and...and..and..? and i cant find anything else...there are a couple of engineering colleges, a couple of medical colleges and so on, but i'll be damned if i've seen any students here...
other impressions...the place is hot..and surprisingly sticky...given that i come from mumbai, world leader in sticky heat, its not much of a difference, but for a place this far inland, i was surprised how much i sweated in the first week...i must've lost weight by the gallon rather than by the kilo...and oh yes, i am losing weight..thts what happens when I can't find a single good place to eat and am forced to eat to live, rather than live to eat which as everyone can attest, is one of my most important mottos of life...hopefully, it'll lead me to lose the enormous pot belly which I acquired almost exactly a year back..karma??
No Babes...absolutely none..and i've looked, believe me...and yes, I am a shallow shallow man..
Hard water here...takes some getting used to..and more woe to me, i am forced to take bath in cold water, which is something i absolutely HATE...everyday i have to relive that fateful day in Delhi when I had to take bath in ice-cold water @ 4 degree C, and tell myself that if I can do that, then this should be a piece of cake..which its not, but im surviving...
Hotel is a marvel. I will leave it at that.
Work hasn't started in full flow as yet. Hardly a couple of hours of work everyday, which leaves a lot of time for R&R. My back is getting as much rest as it could've gotten in Mumbai. so i guess the company's taking good care of me. Once work starts its supposed to be a lot of work, so i guess I should savor the rest while I'm getting some...
What a brief brief synopsis..more as and when it comes along..
Tiara Francisco Bloop.

a relief it is.
I am not a sick bastich.
powders smell not skin.
P.S.: can anyone tell me if the proper scheme has been followed, and whether this is, in fact a valid haiku?
Sicko ??

Ok, so this ayurvedic massage guy comes every day nowadays to physiotherapize me the traditional keralite way...and we've moved on to the phase of burning me..i.e. he heats up this cloth-sack full of various powders, dips the sack in oil, puts the oil-dripping sack on a heater and then lays the smackdown on my back....
Sometimes the stuff is really hot and there is a peculiar aroma which comes out that I really enjoy...It only comes out when the thing is really hot, so the weird part is I dunno whether its the smell of the oil+powder or my skin burning...If I'm really enjoying the smell of burning skin, how fucked-up am I ??

So I've been searching for a couple of my marksheets since last month, and I've no idea where they are. I'm worried, because I've to submit them on the first day of my job. I've all but given up, and have asked friends to get duplicate copies from the college office, as I'm still on stupid bed rest.
Then, I wake up all of a sudden, in the middle of one night at 4.30 a.m., go and open a bag, remove a folder, open it up and there it is !!!
It freakin freaked me out !!
Anyone else experience something like this ??
