That about sums up this next film:
If you haven't seen it yet - GO! Even if you didn't see the first two films, this one will delight you, both visually and emotionally. Of course, if you have seen the first two then it is imperative that you finish the series and GO SEE THIS BEFORE IT LEAVES THE THEATRE!
From the first opening sequence, this film does what so many mainstream adult films do not - it captures you with a cohesive story with action scenes that make sense and move the story along. The plot builds on itself until the final moments of the film when it comes to a satisfying conclusion. The story is that Andy is now 17 and is about to leave for college. While Andy is cleaning out his room (for some reason his mom is giving his room to his little sister - not nice) he divides his toys up into those he wants to give away and those he wants to keep. Lucky Woody is elected to be the one toy that goes to college with him. But the bags get confused and all the toys end up being donated to a preschool. Mayhem develops as the toys realize they've been discarded and the preschool is not the wonderful place they thought it might be. There are some wonderful new characters, and the heart of this movie franchise is never lost, especially when Woody manages to escape from Andy's car when he realizes that his pals are in jeopardy.
The visuals are stunning and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it in 3d, although I think it would be just as good in high quality HD. This film made me laugh, cry, cheer, and it had me on the edge of my seat. Not bad for a cartoon. I'm continually amazed at how sophisticated and well-done these "kids" movies are. I've said it before but I'm gonna say it again - mainstream Hollywood, please take note.

Head of Marketing and Communications
Clapton is god
It was an interesting one for me last weekend – I spent most of it hanging out with insomniac hackers in an old television studio. I was, of course, at The University of Manchester's Great Uni Hack, organised in association with Major League Hacking.
We're no stranger to hackathons here at Web Applications, having been involved with Hack Manchester since it began back in 2011. I was intrigued at the ambitious plans for the hackathon, and showed up relatively bright-eyed on Friday night ready to find out what made Great Uni Hack so great.
Here's a few things.
1: Intercontinental hacking FTW.
Hackers for this year's @greatunihack have come from as far as Poland and Denmark. #greatunihack http://t.co/HKmjxJjAPX
— included.co (@includedco) April 17, 2015
2: This hack: a sub-£40 smartwatch. Utterly impractical and boundlessly awesome.
3: Whatever this was about.
4: Seeing old friends – shout-out to ex-Webbie Rui!
5: The philosophy.
6: Free T Shirts.
7: Parrot Drones. Especially when finalists Enchanted Objects literally used their heads to control them, harnessing the power of the Muse Headband.
8: The insane things you can get up to when you're not hacking. My favourite was Slideshare Karaoke.

TSA Leaves Mother 'Livid' After Pat-Down of Son with Special Needs
At the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Jennifer Williamson made a video of her son, Aaron Williamson, being given an invasive and lengthy pat-down by a Transport Security Administration agent.
While the TSA is defending the officer's pat-down of the boy, who suffers from Sensory Processing Disorder, the video posted by Jennifer on her Facebook profile has enraged thousands of people who viewed it. Since being posted on Sunday morning, the video has amassed 5.3 million views and has been shared over 88,000 times.
The TSA officer is seen to give thirteen year old Aaron a pat-down that seems a little too thorough. Even though the officer explains to Aaron what's coming, and he acknowledges that he understands, Jennifer claims that she is 'livid' after the experience and feels like her family was 'treated like dogs.'
"Let me make something else crystal clear. He set off NO alarms," Williamson wrote on her Facebook post. "He physically did not alarm at all during screening, he passed through the detector just fine."
The video shows the TSA officer, who's wearing blue gloves, move behind Aaron and start the search with his left shoulder, and then the right shoulder before running the back of his gloved hand down the teenage boy's back four times. The pat-down doesn't end there, the officer continues to run his hands up and down the kid's torso on both sides and then goes on to examine the waistband of the now traumatized boy's shorts.
If that wasn't enough, the officer then runs the back of his hand down the kid's buttock and upper leg at least six times and then moves his hands to the hams. The 2-minute video shows in detail, how thoroughly the 13 year old was checked multiple times.
The TSA defended the procedure, in a statement to news outlet WFAA, saying the search was in response to "an alarm of the passenger's laptop." TSA also claims that the family was only detained for about 45 minutes, which includes the time taken to search the items and discuss the screening.
"We have been through hell this morning," Jennifer Williamson wrote on her Facebook profile. She says that she had asked the TSA to treat him in a way that would not augment his disability.
While the TSA refused any alternate to the pat-down, Jennifer says the whole procedure took so long they missed their flight.
The TSA said it was just following orders.
"TSA allows for a pat-down of a teenage passenger, and in this case, all approved procedures were followed to resolve an alarm of the passenger's laptop," Lisa Farbstein, TSA spokeswoman, said in an email. "The video shows a male TSA officer explaining the procedure to the passenger, who fully cooperates. Afterward, the TSA officer was instructed by his supervisor, who was observing, to complete the final step of the screening process.
"In total, the pat-down took approximately two minutes, and was observed by the mother and two police officers who were called to mitigate the concerns of the mother. The passengers were at the checkpoint for approximately 45 minutes, which included the time it took to discuss screening procedures with the mother and to screen three carry-on items that required further inspection."

Hi dolls,
When you hear of Urban Decay you instantly think the famous brand behind the Naked palettes, and Primer Potions never for foundation (or is that just me). However recently they have released Naked Skin a lightweight foundation that claims to blur perfections and deliver a flawless yet natural finish.
So after being such a fan of the Naked products I knew I had to do a little naughty spending.
Urban Decay claim:
Our completely weightless formula blurs imperfections to deliver a flawless finish that looks professionally retouched and feels invisible.
I believe this foundation has only been in the UK since the beginning of the month and was quite happy to have seen it in Debenhams on Friday. I was quite lucky as the assistant was happy enough to not only colour match me but also apply it all over (without me asking) which gave me chance to try it out and see how it applied on my face.
The shade I had was 0.5 which is the lightest foundation available and I find it matches my skin perfectly.
This foundation has really grown on me and I love everything from the formula to the smell to the packaging. The assistant on the counter informed me that the foundation is packed with nourishing ingredients including green tea and is oil-free.
The shade choice for this foundation in my opinion is impressive as there are 18 shades to choose from. The numbering system means that there is a colour to suit each skin tone, and shades that end in .0 are warmers shades and those that end in .5 are more neutral/cooler shades. I think this is a great system to find your shade as I was able to find my shade in a matter of seconds.
The shades range from 0.5 - the lightest all the way to 12.0.
What may come as a bit of a surprise with this foundation is that the bottle is actually plastic, upon photos you may not realise this. However this is something I prefer for travelling purposes (as I may be taking this on holiday) it just means there is less chance of it breaking compared to glass. Although for some people this may be a turnoff as you might be a fan of glass bottles as it appears for luxurious and expensive.
Although I do like the double wall plastic packaging as it does allow it to appear different to other foundations and reminds me slightly of the MUFE foundation packaging.
The foundation also comes with a pump which is a massive bonus for me as it allows you to pump enough product for your face and avoid wasting product.
Forumla and Application
This is a liquid based foundation so it is recommended that you shake the bottle before use and I do find the consistency very similar to YSL's Touch Eclat foundation (yes I stole them off my mom and I tried them against each other). This is probably one of the best foundations I have in terms of blending and applying as it applies so easily and apart from when I have dry skin it does look very natural.
I would say that Naked Skin is a medium to high coverage foundation and can easily be built up. However for me one layer is certainly enough for my liking, I have noticed that it reduces the redness of spots and can easily disguise these so that it is a lovely treat and no need for concealer.
I will say however if you have dry skin this may not be the best foundation for you to try, I have dry patches on my nose and find that it clings to the skin and looks very unflattering. It's very hard to blend if the skin is dry and no amount of primer or dewy setting spray helps.
So like I have already mentioned the foundation is a demi-matte finish which helps it to look more natural after application. I can't complain about this because my skin can be oily so this helps combat that.
It doesn't feel heavy when applied or so dewy that it's going to fall of your face during the day, you know that once it's on it's going to have a great lasting power. With the foundation having a demi-matte formula it lives up to it's lightweight claims and you don't feel like you have much on once applied.
Now this product doesn't claim to last forever on your face like similar foundations in this price range, however considering this it still does stay on the skin anywhere from 6 hours to 8 hours without primer and for me 8 to 10 hours with primer so it's a win win situation either way.
Urban Decay however do recommend when using this foundation to use both a primer and setting spray to enhance it's staying powers. When I had this first applied in store it was combined with their primer and De Slick setting spray (which is on my holiday wishlist).
The company have also released a brush which is designed to go hand in hand with the foundation, the Optical Blurring brush is a synthetic brush that has been created to help buff the foundation and give a flawless finish. However at £18.50 it's a brush I'd like to get but will when I go on holiday.
Urban Decay's Naked Skin is retailed at quite an expensive £27 which puts it against the likes of YSL and Estee Lauder in terms of foundation pricing. However I don't mind paying this much for a foundation that I like.
Although I would say if you are a little unsure about this foundation hop on down to your local Urban Decay counter, because when I went to buy mine the Bullring had sold out of my shade so went to my local Debenhams and before I purchased the foundation I told the assistant that I was after shade 0.5 and she asked if I wanted a sample of it - so it may be worth seeing if you can snag yourself a sample of it first.
Hope you enjoyed, have you got your hands on this foundation yet?

Who needs New Year's Eve when you've got a brilliant gig lined up January 1?
After spending a mellow Eve at home with my wife Carrie and buddy Diana watching decent horror yarn "The Unborn" and VH1 music best-ofs and metal vids, we were primed for old faves Overwhelming Colorfast at the Sunset in Ballard.
According to pal Greg from openers The Small Change, Overwhelming Colorfast drummer Dan Reed lives in Seattle and big bro and vocalist Bob was visiting our fair city for the holidays. So why not concoct a free OC reunion gig? All systems were go and they recruited Nick and Heather of the Riffbrokers on lead guitar and bass, respectively, to pull this thing off.
Following fine sets from Paul Lynde Fan Club and The Small Change, OC plugged in and ripped into its arsenal of favorites including "Roy Orbison," "Arrows," "How it Should Be" and "Every Saturday." Prior to a cover of the Beatles' "She Said, She Said," Bob joked that he wrote that tune and John Lennon only wished he could have done so.
Now, OC has never been a model of perfection (no band can be), but they can do their Husker Du-meets-Beatles thing like no other. Because they haven't played out much since the '90s, OC was a bit ragged throughout and there were a few miscues here and there, but the wild, pogoing crowd didn't seem to mind. Smiles flashed among the sweaty throng and on the players' faces on stage. Flashback supreme.
As a bonus, Joe Reineke from other NorCal faves the Meices (and of Seattle's Alien Crime Syndicate) joined OC buds on stage for his old band's "Don't Let the Soap Run Out" and OC's "Try." And, of course, Seattle music man and barfly Kurt Bloch (who produced two OC albums) made an appearance, as well, and jammed with OC on a lengthy prog-rock cover that finished off the night.
Just the right dose of tunes to start off the New Year.
Andy Nystrom has attended punk and rock gigs since 1979, when he won tickets on the radio to the California World Music Festival in Los Angeles and his dad took him to see Van Halen, Aerosmith, UFO, Eddie Money and Cheech and Chong. His first punk gig was Circle Jerks and TSOL at the Starwood in 1981.


text: On April 28,2011, Steven Blomberg had the great pleasure of attending the 25th Anniversary Celebration of firm client, Gutschick, Little & Weber, P.A., a Civil Engineering, Land Planning, Landscape Architecture and Land Surveying services company servicing the greater Baltimore / Washington region. Originally incorporated by Jerry Gimmel in 1986, GLW has been a leader in its field and an active participant in the community. Partners, Carl Gutschick, Dave Little, Dave Weber and Kevin Foster should be proud of their company, their employees and their accomplishments. While we are not sure that they would trade their success for a Capitals' Stanley Cup win this year, it might be interesting to ask them. These four gentlemen are viewed as much more than clients by the law firm, we are proud to call them our friends. Congratulations.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)
Becoming a Legend is even better than the first book of this trilogy. Relationships become more evolved and more political stuff starts to happen. Ari's relationship to each keeper has changed since book one, some have strictly become friends and others want more. It's a bit of a toss up of who she actually wants to be with. The politics amongst each vampire race are starting to push Ari harder, she needs to start making decisions, it's getting her to grow up. Politics aren't the only thing going on, someone's trying to poison Ari and her keepers, they want her out of the game. In this installment, Ari has to seriously be on guard, because you never know who'll end up stabbing you in the back. Great read for older teens, love triangles, some action, some politics,and lots of fun.

With the viral success of Apple's ad for its newest product line, what can brands learn to boost the effectiveness of their celebrity marketing campaigns?
In June of 2017, Apple announced their intention to enter the wireless speaker/AI assistant market with their new HomePod line. It marked a significant new step away from the brand's identity of traditional hardware, but an acknowledgment of the changing pace of the device marketplace.
However, consumers were already well aware that Apple was lagging behind Amazon and Google in this tech sector, so how did Apple's marketing strategy combat this?
For nearly two decades, Apple's brand identity has been centered on music. After all, they invented iTunes which dominated the early digital music market and made the iPod a global phenomenon.
They have stressed that the HomePod will be a "music-first" device and followed up that brand message with an ad/short film directed by Spike Jonze and featuring FKA Twigs that quickly gained viral status.
Here's what this viral spot tells us about celebrity marketing:
1). Incorporating Celebrities' Talents Can Elevate a Brand's Message
Any consumer who watched this short film will immediately remember the old iPod campaigns with silhouette dancers and vibrant color pallets, which we must assume was the intention.
Clearly Apple wanted to continue but modernize their core message. For this they used an Oscar winning director, Spike Jonze and a world-renowned dancer/musician, FKA Twigs.
Many outlets praised the ad simply for the credentials of those involved, which gave consumers an early perception of quality of the spot and the brand.
Celebrities in their natural environments not only produce better quality marketing tools, but it streamlines the planning process by encouraging innovation from the artists.
2). Implementing Cause and Artistic License is a Sure-Fire Way to Success
While maintaining the brand message, creative license was taken to incorporate concepts of dealing with depression. During the film, Twigs uses the music that Apple can provide to overcome her feelings of repetition and despare from her career.
It is important for marketers not to take this element to far however. There is often a fine line between partnering or discussing a cause and taking advantage of it to sell products. Consumers are attentive and do not enjoy faux-cause marketing strategies.
Regardless, there is little doubt that the creative element of the ad has led to its viral success. The colorful set has also driven extra content about the ad on social media. The best ads rarely need pinpoint cooperation to show their value. Seeing the passion of everyone involved to discuss their product proves that the correct creative priorities can reinforce a brand's message.
3). The Ad Directing Trend is Here to Stay
Add this spot to the growing list of short films that have been produced by Hollywood regulars for various brands. Walmart enlisted the talents of Dee Rees (Mudbound), Melissa McCarthy and Nancy Meyers for an Oscars campaign. Apple is no stranger to using this method having first done a similar project with Ridley Scott in 1984 when launching the Macintosh computer.
This method will only continue to prove its power of innovation in the advertising industry. Brands with short films have received very positive responses and it is a great way to partner with celebrity influencers to make use of their talents.

Nijinsky's War — on what? Without any warning that the piece is about to begin, the audience is engulfed in a torrent of consciousness. The performance is creatively charged by a combination of the autobiographies of two artists: Ignatius van Heerden, acclaimed South African choreographer, and Vaslav Nijinsky, enigmatic Russian-Pole ballet dancer and choreographer.
The various performances showcased at this year's National Arts Festival are ideal opportunities for stimulation of every variety. However, Nijinsky's War adopts a highly decadent approach, and inundates the audience with over-stimulation.
Blink and you will certainly miss the projected visual images and video, dance, audio recordings, music, and text that occur simultaneously. Nijinsky's War is so intricately layered with richly symbolic mediums that the audience fears missing out in the process of unravelling this motley performance.
Van Heerden honours Nijinsky's Afternoon of the Faun and signature angular ballet style in a meta-like re-presentation: on screen flashes a monochromatic video of Van Heerden performing in nature, while he performs the same, slightly altered dance on stage. Unfortunately, Van Heerden's narrative is almost completely eclipsed by Nijinsky's. His spectacular career and tragic life leave little room for the audience to acquaint themselves with Van Heerden's personal story.
Nijinsky's War winds down with Van Heerden's self-presentation in the dance and projected visuals and video, but the effect of his delayed introduction had little dramatic effect. Come the end of the performance, one feels as if they have warred with understanding Nijinsky's War.
By Ayanda Gigaba
Catch the final two performances at Vicky's on July 2 at 4pm and July 3 at 9.30pm. R55 to R65.

5 Tips Building Your Child Self-Esteem
1. BE GENEROUS WITH PRAISE - Parents must develop the habit of looking for situations in which children are doing good jobs, displaying talents, or demonstrating positive character traits. Remember to praise children for jobs well done and for effort.
2. TEACH POSITIVE SELF-STATEMENTS- It is important for parents to redirect children's inaccurate or negative beliefs about themselves and to teach them how to think in positive ways.
3. AVOID CRITICISM that takes the form of ridicule or shame. Blame and negative judgements are at the core of poor self-esteem and can lead to emotional disorders.
4. TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT DECISION MAKING and to recognize when they have made good decisions. Let them 'own' their problems. if they solve them, they gain confidence in themselves. if you solve them, they'll remain dependent on you. take the time to answer questions.Help children think of alternative options.
5. SHOW CHILDREN THAT YOU CAN LAUGH AT YOURSELF. Show them that life doesn't need to be serious all the time and that some teasing is all in fun. your sense of humor is important for their well-being.

From the title, you can tell this is all about the next thing we should be doing in youth ministry, the previous two versions are over, we are on to the next thing that will help strengthen and develop strong Christian youths. Conquencidently, the versions that youth ministry has gone through have been over emphasizing one area of the three tasks adolescences seek, these are identity, autonomy, and affinity.
Back when youth ministry started, version 1, from post WW2 to the 1960's it was about building its own identity where some guy in a suit would speak their language (ie know their parlance) with a view to converting youths to Christ. They would have rallies, an emotive talk and then people would raise their hand and give their life for Christ, like a Billy Graham crusade.
Then, from the 1960's to the end of the century youth ministry 2.0 was about building its own autonomy. Lots of programs opened up focusing on the youth, and this too was attractive. They could run separate events on separate nights to the rest of Church.
But now, for youth ministry to be effective we need to focus on affinity. This involved going small, focusing on experience and communion (not the Lords Supper, more like community). Essentially the book was arguing we should be forming cliques. We should find out what sub-culture our youths are into, let them stay in the same cliques and kinda circle around other cliques. This is because there is no one size fits all youth culture anymore, and I kid you not he uses Burning Man as an example. This is a festival where people search for belonging while also being able to do what they want, and hang out with whoever they want, with no program, no cops, and no rules. Great, sounds like we are pandering to culture, going more individual and selfish than Version 2.0 (which was about autonomy) with forming cliques and chaos.
He goes on to say that this doesn't really have a model, it will look different between two groups of white, suburban eight-grad boys. But generally, the sense of affinity comes from spending time with the youth boys he has oversight with. He says
"In a sense, I'm the worst youth ministry volunteer on our team... I rarely go on Sunday mornings. I don't go to the events. I rarely go to meetings. I've decided that, with my limited time, my youth ministry will be the best contextual, missional, communional ministry of spiritually transforming relationships I can possibly have with the six students in my eighth-grade guys small group."
Great, so let's have an adult who doesn't go to group events (Church gatherings?) but instead just hangs out as much as he can with 13-year-old boys. As a parent, I'm not sure I'd be liking that so much. Clearly this was written in a different culture that didn't have a Royal Comission into things like this. Also, this go deep with a smaller group, absent from community (and structures like oversight and discipline policies) sounds like the Discipleship Movement in the 1970's which didn't end so well...
However, to add some balance, near the end of the book there is a section on linking Youth Group to Church on Sundays, which I am all for. That was positive in the book.
The book was light on Bible. Here is one of the few citations to the Bible:
You can hate postmodernism all you want—even call it every sort of nasty name you like—but the reality is completely indisputable: We live in a postmodern culture. Scripture calls us to be in the world. If we have any hope of engaging teenagers in their world, then we simply must understand and minister in the context of a postmodern mindset.So to be in the world we have to be postmodern. What about Romans 12:2-3 which says:
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God,what is good and acceptable and perfect.

George and Lynne are about to go out. Once again they have to go through the ridiculous charade of Lynne trying on all these different dresses so that George gives her a compliment.
In order to get George's attention, Lynne strikes the same pose as she did when she was hailing a cab in harlequin leggings. This must be her, 'everyone look at me pose.' Well it worked then and it's working now.
George is right, the dress isn't clingy. It actually hangs rather than clings to her body. Lynne must have confused the meaning of clingy with revealing. But now because of George, she will wear that out, even though it is in fact a nightie.

How to Get Victoria's Secret Beach Waves
For the latter part of the millennium, Victoria's Secret hair has been big, sexy, tousled, and about as unattainable as Gigi Hadid's abs. Even if you're the biggest Angel fangirl (no judgments), watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has always felt a little like a masterclass in things we'll never have; aside from the lingerie, but also, let's not kid ourselves. This year, though, things went a little differently. Hairstylist Sarah Potempa created the look using her genius invention, The Beachwaver, and our chances of being able to achieve that bouncy blowout went from slim-to-none to an actual possibility.
I know, I know, it sounds like ravings of a used car-dealer: Beach waves in 10 minutes—really! But no joke, I've never been able to curl my own hair until I tried this rotating curling iron. It's so easy, I even saw models (Bella Hadid included) doing sections of their own hair backstage.
Want in? We teamed up with Potempa to bring you a step-by-step tutorial of exactly how to get the voluminous, beachy waves seen on the runway.
What You'll Need:
-A nylon boar bristle paddle brush
-A Beachwaver (either the 1" or the 1.25" depending on your hair length; the Swarovski one pictured in the middle above is what they actually used at the show. Yeah, it's a cool $6,000.)
-Hair pomade
-Sectioning clips
-Texturizing hair spray
How to Choose a Barrel Size
Really, this depends on two things. 1) The length of your hair and 2) The look you're going for. "The 1.25" gives you more of a tousled look, which is perfect for someone whose hair holds a tight curl," says Potempa. "The goal is for the curls to look loose and beautiful. So if your hair tends to fall, then you'll want to go with the S1." The S1 also works better for women with shorter hair because the barrel is shorter than Pro.
The How-To
1. Split Hair in Two Sections and Section Off
Split your hair in the back and then bring it all forward so you have two sections in the front. Think of them as "the left" and "the right." Then, starting on whichever side feels most comfortable, section your hair horizontally so you have a section on top and one on bottom. Twist the top, then clip it up with the Darby clip.
2. Clamp Hair
After sectioning your hair, hold the iron vertical with the clamp facing in (or toward the mirror, if it's easier to think of it that way). Clamp your hair down near the ends, leaving about 2" sticking out at the end if you have long hair or 1" out if you have shorter to medium-length hair. This what gives your hair that lived-in, natural bend instead of super-bouncy curls.
3. Select the Wave Direction
Think of those "L" and "R" keys as your easy buttons. All you have to do? Hit "L" if you're curling the left side of your hair, "R" if you're curling the right. Literally, that's it. Curling each side the same direction will give you that beachy finish with a lot of volume.
4. Curl the Bottom Section
It's go time! Once you've selected the direction you want, hit the "Go" button. This will make the iron begin to rotate and curl your hair. Then, take your finger off the "Go" button once it's about a third down from your hairline and hold for three to four seconds. Open the clamp, then slide the iron straight down.
Now, listen up, because this part's important: "It can actually manipulate the curl if you slide the wand out wrong," says Potempa. Think about it: You're creating a pattern down the rod as your wrapping your hair around it. "None of your hair is overlapping [when it wraps around], it's like a hot roller," she says. "When hair makes a physical change, from wet to dry or hot to cold, it sets and then holds. In this case, it's a hot to cold physical change. So if you turn the iron and pull it out sideways or horizontally, it'll set your curl the wrong way."
Let each curl cool while you repeat the same steps around the bottom layer of your head, moving in 1" sections as you go. (Anything too big won't hold the curl well.)
5. Repeat on the Top Layer
Once you've done the bottom section, unclip your top layer from the darby clip and repeat the steps from above.
"When you use the darby clips to section your hair, it actually saves you time in the end," says Potempa, noting how crucial it is not to skip this step. "So many people want to just curl and curl and curl their hair, but it ends up taking longer because you're not being organized. So, if you move row by row, it becomes repetitive like a system—you'll be able to curl faster and have it hold longer. It's more efficient."
6. Let Hair Cool Down
If your hair looks like it's in tighter ringlets at this point, that's a good thing! Resist the urge to rake your hands through them. It's important that you allow your waves to set and cool. After about five or so minutes, you can touch them, but this hands-off period will ensure your waves will last longer throughout the day.
8. Separate the Curls
Now comes the time to shake those ringlets out. First, run your fingers through them gently. "It shouldn't feel too polished or perfect," says Potempa. "You just want to separate the curls and give them a lived-in look."
Then, once that's done, you'll want to spritz some flexible hold hairspray like L'Oreal Elnett or Ouai Texturizing Hairspray from root to mid-shaft. Pro tip: Spray hairspray on your styling brush, then gently use the ends of the bristles to rake through your hair. "It's not a full brush," says Potempa. "You only want the edge of the bristles to go through. Super light, just so it helps separate the curls. It's all about separation and sexiness."
9. Finish the Look
To really give your hair that piece-y finishing touch, rub a pomade on your palms to warm up the product, then gently rake it through the ends of your hair. "It adds to that little bit of separation and helps tame flyaways," says Potempa.
Now you just need to hire someone to walk in front of you with a fan, and you're ready to get on with your sexy self. (Not that you weren't before.)
Psstt... don't forget to pin this for later!

text: I was outside at night. The neighborhood was very rough. I was wearing a brown jacket and a white skirt. Perhaps it was suede – but this is how I knew I was dreaming, lol. It was that deep REM when you feel as if you're having an out of body experience. I couldn't wake up. I see a big tank. I suppose all tanks are big. I'm angry. I start to run towards it screaming at a soldier. I have something thrown at me like a grenade or an IAD. It's going to blow up in my face but I am able to catch it and toss it back. Then I wake up. I'm trying to understand and explain to myself what that dream was really about. Would I be considered the aggressor or the victim? Was that a US soldier I was fighting? I wonder how many of us ordinary folk would feel if our country was overrun by Chinese soldiers and weapons. I pick China due to the amount of money this government has borrowed from them and if they came to collect on that note. Would we just roll over and say, "Oh well. We buy everything from them anyway." Or would we fight? By the way I was NOT watching any war movies before I went to sleep last night. I don't think I'll be drinking any coffee today either. I am still shaking.

Outspoken footballer Joey Barton has threatened to 'boil alive' those who burgled the home of his girlfriend's parents.
Raiders struck at the empty family home of Georgia McNeil, 25, in Liverpool last weekend and got away with valuables.
He also warned the thieves they would be caught soon as they had left blood at the scene of the crime.
Barton fumed: "They will be getting nicked as they cut their hands and left blood at the scene.
"Hope it was worth the jail time they'll be getting.
"I'd boil them alive if it was up to me. Burgling someone's house at Christmas. What kind of animal does that?"
Police also think Barton may have inadvertently given the burglars a helping hand by tweeting pictures of an animal-themed party for his son Cassius which he was attending, alerting the thieves the home was empty and an easy target.
Barton, 30, who is currently on loan to Olympique Marseille from Queens Park Rangers, had tweeted about his son's party last Friday evening.
He posted photos on his Twitter page showing his son's birthday cake, which was decorated with a lion and monkeys.
Earlier in the day he wrote: "Little man's 1st birthday today. That year has flown."
A spokeswoman for Merseyside police said: "We had a report of the burglary in the early hours of December 29.
"No one was in the property at the time of the incident.
"A safe containing jewellery, documents and cash was stolen."
On Wednesday, Barton announced he was returning to France, after spending the Christmas break in the UK.
He wrote: "Another day. Another airport. Back to France. Can't wait to get the arl' footie boots back on..."

Chapter 159 - Full Sweep
TL: xDh20, LifeisaJourney
ED: Allenwa
This the last sponsored chapter from Eric Spencer! Thank you for buying me coffee!
"All will obey the command of Elder Liu, and no one will act without consent!" as the team members agreed to not have any objections, since Liu Gan was their guardian angel. Without the protection they got from Liu Gan, they wouldn't have been able to survive for long.
As of now, Liu Gan was very strong and good with his abilities, he also has the almighty Yin He and loyal right-hand man Zhang ShengLi, who was level 5. There were also tightly united people around him - Han GuangMing and Wang DeCheng, who just waited for the opportunity to level up. Although the team is now much less than earlier on, the cohesion and combat effectiveness had improved a lot more.
The courtyard in the main building had a front door and back door. The problem was that both doors were locked on the inside. This time, Liu Gan didn't let Zhao Meng pick the lock and smashed the glass window near the back door, so that Yin He could crawl through the window to scout that room. After she came back and confirmed that the small room had nothing strange, everyone crawled through the window.
Liu Gan and Yin He were in the front of the party, while Zhang ShengLi acted as rear guard. This way the players in the middle, felt more at ease.
They pushed open the door out of the small room that lead to a large living room. The flashlight illuminated the inside and the outline of the living room was clear. You could see the lock to the front door.
This building had a total of two floors, like a duplex structure. The first floor of the hall was not as they had imagined, that it would have large experimental equipments. Instead, it was built and decorated like a five-star hotel reception lobby.
The first floor lobby had extremely few corpses on the floor for such a large space available. These corpses also had their brains scooped out and there was dried blood by the bodies, so it seemed all corpses had died around the same time.
After Yin He entered the living room and she immediately started to investigate and search around. Then, she returned to report back to Liu Gan. This main building had no abnormalities, so it was safe in this building.
"Since there are corpses inside who also had their brains emptied out, then this variant zombie could freely enter and leave the building. Except, I can't find any signs of damage on the windows. Could it have keys to enter through the door and lock it on its' way out?" Zhang ShengLi walked over to ask Liu Gan. Ever since Zhang ShengLi had witnessed a lying Parasitic Variant Zombie that killed Zhang ShengNan and HuRong, he still suffered from the trauma and was skeptical about everything.
Zhang ShengLi wasn't the only one to wonder about this issue, other players had as well. It's just that Zhang ShengLi spoke up about it first, and when he said it out loud, other players started to look at Liu Gan. Compared to the so called Expert Zhou MingLiang, Liu Gan was more reliable with his speculations and judgements.
Liu Gan didn't speak up as he was thinking.
"Could it be that this Variant Zombie camouflaged itself with the background? If so then it could be near us, and is just waiting for a chance to ambush us?" some of the members speculated and got worried.
Their worries, were already thoroughly thought out about by Liu Gan. In this type of situation, he deduced two possibilities.
The first possibility was that the Variant Zombie attacked these players, and then feasted on their brains. The way it could've entered would be through the ventilation pipes near the rooftop then it might have been attracted by all the noise by the riverbank and traveled elsewhere by swimming.
The other possibility was that after these people started to kill one another, the Variant Zombie took the opportunity to feast on their brain and still remained on this island and hid in the ventilation pipes. It's just that Yin He and others hadn't discovered it yet.
As for the possibility of the Variant Zombie hiding in the ventilation pipe, that wasn't too high.
Liu Gan had not found something that was considered too far beyond the scope of science and technology, it seemed that all types of Variant Zombies could be explained from a biochemical point of view.
If this Variant Zombie was still hidden within the main building, then all these people were in danger, so it's best if they found out how this Variant Zombie had entered and where it might be.
There was someone standing on the wall and subconsciously pressed the wall switch. No one expected the corner lights in the lobby to light up, and especially not the chandelier in the middle of the lobby. Seems like this was an emergency light, that was powered by batteries or an external power supply.
When the light illuminated the room, it gave the team members a scare. It's been a long while, since they'd seen powered lights. After they realized what was going on, the team members finally settled down. With the light from the lamps being so useful, Liu Gan gave a recount of how many players were left.
Now the team had only 13 people.
The seven people from the player's camp that remained were Liu Gan, Zhang ShengLi, Wang DeCheng, Han GuangMing, Martial Thunder, who was good at making equipments, and Zhao Meng, who was good at unlocking and Doctor Lee Miao; The local survivors had five people that remained. Expert Zhou MingLiang, shopkeeper and retired Javelin thrower Zhang Hua, hospital worker Xu ChangHui, as well as the couple HuJun and Zhou JingJing.
Lastly, it was the android Yin He.
Needless to say these five local survivors were definitely strong. Perhaps, after their survival in the hospital required them to have more wisdom than these younger players. Since the beginning, the amount that followed Liu Gan was five and five remained by his side.
"Since we are now a group of thirteen. Let's split into three groups. I will lead a group, Yin He will lead another and Zhang ShengLi will lead the last group. Separate to search the entire building. Once you discover any signs of abnormality, call others immediately for support. Be sure to carry out a full sweep and don't let any small details slip by. All this precaution was necessary to keep the island safe." Liu Gan explained the duties and split up the group.
To ensure that the island's security is one part of the agenda, the other hand, the Yin He has not found the secret laboratory yet. Seems like this secret entrance is very hidden, so unless there was a detailed search, it would be impossible to find.
Unless the secret laboratory is not on the island, otherwise the entrance should be here. On top of that, all evidence points to the fact that this laboratory should be on the island.
In this two-story building, other than the room that Liu Gan broke into by entering through the window. In the reception lobby there were other rooms. Pushing open the doors to these rooms, it also seemed like these rooms weren't like the ones in a laboratory, but the ones from a hotel room.
The two-story building wasn't that large like a mansion, but it wasn't small at all. After ten minutes of searching, the three groups split up to search the upper and lower floors. Even the rooftop was searched. They were able to confirm that there weren't any regular or variant zombies on the premise. They found the stairway to the rooftop was open, so if the variant zombie came in and left through the rooftop door it would explain why all the windows were still intact and the doors are locked from the inside.

Student Loans More Burdensome Than Credit Card Debt
Debt for student loans is likely to continue its climb past credit card debt, and it is predicted that these loans will reach above $1 trillion this year.
A total of 66 percent of those who received bachelor's degrees in 2008 were in debt, compared with less than 50 percent in 1993, according to The New York Times.
There is such a thing as good debt, but credit card debt does not fall into that category, the news source added.
"When you think about what's good debt and what's bad debt, student loans fall into the realm of good debt, like mortgages," Susan Dynarski, a professor at the University of Michigan told the news source. "It's an investment that pays off over the whole life cycle."
Many people have trouble paying off large amounts of student loan debt, the news source reported. President Barack Obama recently said that he and his wife Michelle, had higher student loan debt payments than mortgage fees after graduating from law school.
With any type of debt, it is best to not allow it to accumulate, and make all payments on time.
New government regulations in place for consumers in need of debt relief for credit cards and other unsecured debts.

China, the second largest economy, and largest oil importer is expected to launch its yuan-denominated crude oil futures contract, also known as the petroyuan, on the Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE) after the State Council approved the mechanism.
Venezuela Pitches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency to OPEC
Futures contracts are legal agreements to buy or sell a particular commodity for a predetermined price at a specified future date. According to an official at the INE, the financial mechanism will be launched on March 26.
Currently, almost all international oil trade is dependent on U.S. dollars. The yuan-denominated futures contract is an attempt to shift oil trade out of petrodollars, giving China more clout on crude pricing and opening the possibility of the Chinese currency to play a more prominent role in global trade.
Last year, the Chinese government announced plans to start crude oil futures contracts. The contract will enable China to buy oil with gold or to convert yuan into gold without needing to turn it into US dollars.
Venezuela shares China interest in challenging United States control over the global financial system, mainly due to the strict U.S. economic and financial sanctions that have gravely affected the Venezuelan people and their quality of life.
Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro announced the creation of a cryptocurrency backed by the country's oil, gas, gold, and diamond reserves dubbed the Petro on Dec. 3, 2017, to counter the economic blockade, giving Venezuela new ways of accessing the international market.
According to Venezuela's Ministry of Foreign Trade, so far a group of Brazilian investors has expressed interest in purchasing US $300 million worth of Petros and countries like Poland, Denmark, Honduras, Norway, and Vietnam are willing to receive the cryptocurrency as payment for exported goods to Venezuela.
In a bid to strengthen the new digital currency, last week Maduro said he will propose an oil-backed joint cryptocurrency to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

I love dessert so much. When I'm out for a meal I will look at the dessert menu first. There's something so comforting about dessert. I also love it when they are easy to make. Like this one.
I know that everybody obsesses over Nutella and who doesn't like cheesecake so when I saw this in Nigelissama I had to make it. I know I'll have some very happy friends and family.
Here's the recipe:
Adapted from Nigelissama
250g digestive biscuits
75g soft unsalted butter, melted
1 400g jar Nutella (at room temperature)
100g chopped hazelnuts
500g soft cream cheese (at room temperature)
60g icing sugar (sifted)
First of all toast your hazelnuts. I heated mine in a pan on the hob for a couple of minutes.
Melt your butter over a low heat. Smash your biscuits into tiny crumbs and stir into the melted butter add 25g of the toasted hazelnuts.
Press the mixture into a lined spring form tin. And chill in the fridge while you prepare the topping.
For the topping, place the cream cheese and icing sugar into a bowl and beat until combined. Then add the Nutella. Stir until fully combined or you could leave it swirled. That looks pretty too.
Take the biscuit base out of the fridge and top with the Nutella mixture. Smooth down and then sprinkle over the rest of the hazelnuts.
Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve cold from the fridge.

Right now I'd say the odds of the entire world coming to a catastrophic and sudden end is probably more likely than me dying.
Because a) I'm pretty much invincible and am gonna live forever no matter what science, biology, and sense dictate, ok?! and b) Kim Jong-Un.
That man baffles me more than the subjunctive form, Ronaldo's sexuality and the offside rule combined, and the North Korea making the whole world implode fear is so real in my life right now that I've had not one but three Kim Jong-Un related dream-slash-nightmares in the last two weeks.
The first (and admittedly most bizarre) focused around us sending my mother's ashes to North Korea because Kim Jong-Un was heading up this "innovative" new campaign which involved planting dead people's remains at the base of a tree and then using nuclear warheads to shoot those trees off up into space, where the dead would come back to life and start a new civilization on a previously undiscovered planet. Very long sentence, very sorry.
In the second dream, I married a North Korean woman and our house caught fire because I forgot to remove the government-issued safety foil from the bottom of the saucepan before boiling water. We didn't manage to grab our Kim Jong-Un portrait before the house burnt down, and so the next thing I knew we were being frogmarched to a public execution zone by armed guards. We weren't executed but were instead sentenced to a punishment of eating 1000 dumplings in an hour. Then I woke up.
Disclaimer: As far as I'm aware there's no such thing as government-issued safety foil in any respect, least of all when it comes to metal cooking utensils. Also, in case you were curious, the current World Record holder of the most dumplings eaten in two minutes is Australian Isaac Harding (GO ON AUSTRALIA!), with a quite fantastic 30.
In the third, most recent, and probably most believable dream, the North Korean Ballistic Missile Department (is there such thing?) aimed one of their prototypes directly at my office building in Cardiff Bay. Realistically I can't imagine the Roath Basin being very high on any country's list of targets, so I think I'm actually quite safe for now. Phew.
Can you tell I've read one too many books about North Korea in the past few weeks?
So, in light of the fact that the world is pretty much permanently teetering on the edge of doom right now, I decided I'd whip together this little listicle type post on a bunch of trips I really really want to take before we all turn into one big bowl of jam.
See India on the back of a motorbike
I've never been shy about letting my feelings towards India be known. It's one of the most incredible yet infuriating and frustrating countries I've ever been to, and I don't think I'll ever tire of it. In fact, I'm planning on hopefully using up what little annual leave I have left just to squeeze in a week of Indian indulgence before Christmas, and if the willingness to spend 30 hours+ travelling just to spend 6 days somewhere isn't testimony enough to how much I love it, I don't know what is.
Read more about India here
The next time I go to India for an extended amount of time, though (i.e. longer than a short few days), I want it to be spent zooming through the hills and forests and deserts on the back of a motorbike. It has to be the back because a) I don't have a licence and b) I wouldn't trust myself to drive a toy car on Indian roads. I want to have the freedom to stop wherever a stop is deserved, to truly experience the nature and beauty of the country, and to see it through more than just a tourist's eyes. I also want to drive really fast.
I actually asked one of my friends if he'd drive me from Kerala to Jammu & Kashmir on his bike and he said yes, but then he sold his bike to buy a plane ticket to the UK so yeah, one day.
Fan girl over Bob Marley in Jamaica
Back before I booked my ticket to spend the summer volunteering in Peru in 2011, the original plan was to go to Jamaica. The flight prices were almost the same, the cost of the volunteer program was almost the same, and the temptation to let my inner Marley run wild and free was almost too much. Eventually, common sense and thinking about my future (yuck) and what was best in the long run prevailed, and I ended up on an American Airlines flight to Peru via Miami because the 6 weeks of Spanish practice would put me in good stead for the degree I was about to pursue.
Fast forward six years and it's not that I regret going to Peru, because I don't, but I do wish I'd given Jamaica more weight in the internal argument with myself.
And believe it or not, it's not the crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and palm trees that are calling me, but everything Bob Marley. Specifically, the Bob Marley Museum, which I've heard mixed things about BUT is situated in his ACTUAL HOUSE so how could I not want to go there?! I also read Aisha's post about bamboo rafting down the Rio Grande a few months ago and found myself drooling at her Instagram pictures and so Jamaica, YES PLEASE!
Hike Venezuela's Mount Roraima
Hiking is not in my list of top 100 favourite things to do. If I absolutely had to rank it, it'd probably come in at around 120th, somewhere between eating gravel and changing my bed sheets. Still, hiking Mount Roraima has been an absolute dream of mine ever since I missed out on the chance due to lack of time (and money!) on my last trip to Venezuela.
I want to stand above the clouds without being on an airplane. I want to be able to easily imagine a time where dinosaurs still roamed without any modern structures or inventions getting in my way. I also want to pretend I'm Russell from Up, trying to find the elusive Kevin.
Venezuela isn't exactly the most stable of countries right now. And for that reason, I'll probably give it a few years before I go back, but I will go back. And I will make that 6-day hike like I've never hiked before (because I kind of haven't really).
Fulfil my mother's dream in Egypt
To put it simply, I want to do what my mother couldn't. She always wanted to visit Egypt but didn't get the chance. In fact, it was her desire to see the Pyramids that led me to fulfill my own dream of seeing all of the New 7 Wonders of the World so I guess I kind of owe her this.
The history behind the Great Pyramids fascinates me, and it's just incredible to think how these beauties must have been built before modern technology and forklifts existed! If you've ever tried to build a pyramid out of Lego, just imagine the levels of frustration the Ancient Egyptians must have felt when they had to try and build the same thing but about a gazillion times bigger?!
Take a campervan around New Zealand
New Zealand was never really big in my mind as a place I have to visit. That is, until it became a reality that I kind of definitely almost certainly can visit it next year for as long as I like. Or at least for as long as a 6-month visitor visa would allow me. So probably six months.
Ever since it became an option, I haven't been able to stop myself searching different routes for a road trip that stretches across both the islands, taking in the most recognisable of New Zealand's sights such as Milford Sound, Franz Josef Glacier, Lake Wanaka and, of course, Hobbiton, as well as the lesser known yet equally lush destinations dotted around the country.
Now I want nothing more than to source driving lessons, pass my driving test, buy an open-return ticket to New Zealand and rent a campervan to slowly navigate my way around the country.
Take the Maya Route through Central America
I'm not sure if the Maya Route is an actual thing or not, but I once read about it and now can't for the life of me find anything officially declaring it an actual route. Anyway, it's basically a route through Central America, taking in any and all Mayan archaeolgical sites along the way.
These are included, but not limited to, Chichen Itza, Tikal, Copán and the Actun Tunichil Muknal cave. The first two I was lucky enough to visit during my last jaunt across the pond, but I missed out on the latter thanks to Hurricane Earl and the chaos he left behind him. And you know how sometimes when you go out for dinner you're torn between ordering two things, so order one and then spend the rest of your life regretting your decision not to go for the other? That's how I feel right now after choosing to climb a not very exciting volcano in Guatemala instead of heading south to Honduras to see Copán.

Childhood Memories...
This is the nice apple tree in our backyard with the lovely plastic yellow swing that has been there since I was a little girl. My sister and I, along with our cousins, used to live on this swing. It was a big part of our childhood. Even now, we use it every now and then and our friends love it! Well, more like the inner child in every single one of us :) I used Photoshop to make the entire background black and white and enhanced the color of the tree, changing all kinds of levels and saturations and contrasts, etc. I think it really makes the green of the leaves and yellow of the swing stand out. I like the final product :)

Hasn't set fit
I was fitted for this bra in June of 2012. At the time, it was a perfect fit. Since then, my underbust has gotten smaller and lifting weights has increased my bust size enough that I get quadboob if I wear this. This was the first balconette I tried that didn't give me a bizarre boob shape like a fat foot stuffed into a tiny slipper. It gave a nice rounded shape (not as round as a Deco but pretty round) and was fairly comfortable for the first few hours I wore it. Then the tall underwires started poking under the arms. ...
I have three bras in this size and style, bought rather impulsively before the poking began. On one, I bent the underwires out slightly. On another one, I took in the center gore. The third, I left just as it came. I get poked by all of them. The only way I can avoid poking is to put the bra on the way the fitter put it on me -- arms go in first, lean over, fill in the cups, stand up, and do the hook. The thing is I have a very hard time doing the hooks myself when I'm getting dressed like that. I need to do the hooks first, then put arms and boobs in, in that order. So any time I wear this, I expect I'm going to have to pull it down constantly and I'm going to get poked.
The center gore is pretty wide for someone as short as I am, especially since my boobs don't really have space between them when left to their own devices. There is a bit of an east-west effect. Not toooooo terrible with a crew necked t-shirt, but this is impossible to wear with anything that's supposed to bare cleavage. I actually have no cleavage in this bra whatsoever. That's...weird.
I'm not excited about the yellow color. I don't fully hate it, but I'm also not really feeling it. At the time I bought it (them), I was just so happy to have something that fit, that stopped the fire I was feeling between my shoulder blades, that I didn't much care.

Kadhalil Sodhappavadhu Yeppadi
I truly enjoyed it. I don't have to elaborate the storyline since there are so many reviews. Just want to share the scenes I enjoyed.
Each time Siddharth talking to the camera makes me laugh. And yes, I happen to find few of the dialogues are apparently same as my hubby using in our quarrels. The scene in the restaurant where Siddharth sits without thinking anything (didn't know guys can just sit for hours without thinking anything) and DAM opening sequence are all fabulously funny. Not forgetting the scene where the Boyfren promise will never lie to his gal. LOL.
For those who missed the movie, Trust me you should watch it. Because the movie was a Fun ride till the end.

Back on April
Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Oh, where do I began, It was really a wonderful and blessed Birthday. My hubby blown me with flowers and cake delivery to my office. When my colleagues ask me what my kids bought for me, I say they are still small. Only a kiss. I wasn't expecting anything till I reach their school to fetch them. They chase their frens and make them wish me "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". It's a kind of different gift. Speechless, filled with happiness. We had dinner outside, taking one day break from kitchen. After the celebration, I went to sleep earlier than them cause too tired of being happy the whole day.
Usually when I got monthly menstrual, I will put the mattress down and sleep. My eyes are closed but not sleeping. That's when I heard my two kids whispering to each other saying "amma sleep already. Let's kiss her and say we love her". So sweet. Once they done, they switch off the light.
This is the best part. Once they off the light they could not see clearly to get on the bed. The first foot stepped on my head to climb on the bed is Rageshvarma(Anna). Second is Sevvelsharmaah (Thambi). My eyes popped but I didn't shout. Due to sweetest birthday treat, I have to hold the pain and sleep like nothing happen. The next morning when I woke up, first thing came to my mind is how heavy was the last gift.

Technology giant Apple
According to TechCrunch reports, sources close to the development said that, "Apple has submitted orders for millions of units of Qualcomm
The Verizon iPhone is expected to launch in January 2011 and could come with a "fixed internal insulator on the antenna." The external antenna of the current iPhone 4 suffers from a design flaw, resulting in weak reception and causing sudden, dropped calls.
The iPhone has been AT&T's goose-that-lays-golden-eggs, because despite having a formidable line-up of other smartphones, it's the iPhone that has helped bump up AT&T's subscriber base -- in Q2 2010, the iPhone alone generated 3.2 million activations, contributing significantly to AT&T's bottom line.
However, it appears that AT&T is bracing for the inevitable -- that the iPhone will no longer be sold exclusively by the company from 2011 when the exclusivity agreement with Apple runs out.
In fact, AT&T in a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, said clearly that though there are risks involved when the "exclusivity arrangements end," it sees no "material negative impact" from the loss of the iPhone.
"We do not expect any such terminations to have a material negative impact on our wireless segment income, consolidated operating margin or our cash from operations," the company said in Friday's filing.
The No.2 mobile operator in the U.S. said that it offers a large variety of other smartphones -- at least 18 of them -- to help it reduce dependency on any single handset. One such device is BlackBerry Torch 9800, which AT&T unveiled earlier this month. Torch 9800 is RIM's first BlackBerry to feature a slide-out Qwerty keyboard as well as a touchscreen. It is also the first BlackBerry to come with five-megapixel camera and the new BlackBerry 6 OS that has social networking features.
"Such (exclusivity) arrangements may not provide a competitive advantage over time, as the industry continues to introduce new devices and services," AT&T said.
The company also cited several reasons why it does not expect its subscribers to jump ship when the exclusivity arrangement ends. They are:
One: AT&T's post-paid subscribers are allowed to accumulate unused minutes ("rollover minutes"), a feature that is currently not offered by other major post-paid rivals. In other words, if subscribers switch carriers, they'll lose those minutes.
Two: AT&T iPhones are GSM-based and cannot be used on CDMA network. And, even if the subscribers switch to other GSM carriers, they would lose several key features that are available only on AT&T network.
Three: AT&T iPhone subscribers, who bought the device from June 2010 but want to jump ship within their two-year contract period, have to pay the huge early termination fee, which was doubled recently from $175 to $350.
Four: AT&T recently offered a tiered data plan, which other major carriers do not offer. The tiered data plan gives flexibility to subscribers and lowers their costs.
Five: AT&T is offering lucrative iPhone 4 upgrade offers to existing iPhone users. Those who switch carriers will have to pay more to get their hands on the device.
AT&T shares were up 0.26 percent at $26.61 during pre-market trade on Monday. Apple shares were up 0.31 percent at $260.90.
