I specialise in British milled issues from 1662 to 1970,but this doesn't mean that I don't stock coins in other areasand I keep a small stock of both Ancient coins as well as English hammered pieces.
Any coin dealer relies, not only on a regular flow of customers but also on having sufficient stock to sell them. For this reason, if you have any coins to sell, either individually or in the form of collections please feel free to contact me and, subject to my stock requirements, I will be happy to make an offer for them.
As coins are being added to the list all the time, it may be that what you are looking for is not yet listed. Therefore, if you do not see what you are looking for please contact me; by the same token if you have a list of wants I would be happy to keep this on file until an example turns up or until you inform me that it is no longer required.
The May additions can now be viewed by clicking 'New Stock' on the left and navigating your way through the pages. Everything from Celtic, through Roman right up to the end of the pre-decimal era. There are many high grade copper and bronze coins including an 1841 halfpenny, almost exactly as it left the mint, a 1742 halfpenny and an 1826 penny both also in very high grade.
My method of describing copper and bronze coins when in high grade has always been to use the AU designation followed by a number which is an estimate of the percentage of lustre the coin displays. Only when the coin shows almost no loss of lustre do I describe it as BU. Whilst this has generally served me well, it does have the disadvantage of leaving a yawning gap between AU and BU. After some thought, I have decided to re-assess all my existing coins in this category, introducing the Unc. designation for coins that in my view warrant it. In future therefore, my grading for all coins will follow standard grading practice with, as before, a percentage figure for high grade copper and bronze.

If you're GameStop PowerUp Rewards Pro member, you could be eligible for a very, very good deal this weekend. The store is running a promotion that will let its rewards program members trade in a DSi, DSi XL or DS Lite at their stores for a $99 3DS.
The deal — which requires you to print out a coupon — comes too late for anyone hoping to get in on the 3DS Ambassadors program, but is a lot cheaper than paying Nintendo's new 3DS price of $169.99.
A GameStop PowerUp Pro membership costs $14.99 per year; you can sign up at a participating GameStop.

Yesterday, I participated in a Facebook conversation that caught fire very easily.
After a cool down I decided to try and understand how and why should one of the participants have such a biased opinion when he clearly had no knowledge foundations to support his claims.
The "he's just a kid" justifications immediately popped in my mind (and by that I'm not targeting age, but rather behaviour)... I'm still convinced that I was right about this case...but latter I decided to think a little more about that issue and I realized that more mature people are also BIASED like hell... and so I had to try to explain this instead of just starting the distribution of "I'm an absolute ass" sticker on peoples foreheads. I came up with a theory that I post here... expecting some commenting.
Now evidently you have people that bias just to chock others (and I reckon to be like that more often that I should... but people that know me understands a certain amount of comedy in my biased caustic comments). I'm talking about Jeremy Clarkson for instance, and in the other extreme "Captain Slow"... the mean in the TopGear show is "The Hamster". These guys are biased because they have a strong opinion and have to run a show that must be both entertaining and amusing.
But what about the rest of the world. Well, most people just don't have enough knowledge to understand... so they glue their hearts to a brand and stick with it no matter how stupid it's creations are.
It's however important that most people understand that MONEY talks... and it talks pretty loud in the Automotive industry.
Most BIG manufacturers produce dull products (in the pure motor sports and adrenalized opinion). But they do so because they have a huge infrastructure to maintain and can't afford to lose sales... sales that are made by people that really don't know anything about cars. So, evidently, and putting safety & quality improvements apart, they build what YOU buy... and if you have little or no knowledge about cars you will buy a dull product and be extremely happy with it.
Then you have some of these manufacturers that have a racing pedigree and continue to build some very impressive products.. but still in small production (compared to the rest of the line) and always in a compromised design. The Peugeot RCZ for instance. This car comes from the same people that created the brilliant 205GTI! But back on the RCZ, not the best chassis, but not that bad either, a fun little engine, but SHOULD do much much better. Still, its a product that will make more sells due to it's design then anything else... so, evidently, considering that the buyers no nothing about what they are buying except that it's beautiful, they fine-tuned the chassis toward a dull but very-safe-to-the-bad-driver UNDER-STEER behaviour. But don't get fooled about these facts, with small simple changes this car is a real performer... and it does reflect Peugeot's racing heritage.. but in metropolitan era.
Sure it's not half the car a 206gti was... but again, today's drivers are not ever near a quarter of what they were back then and politicians and environmentalists have quadrupled since that time!
And then comes the small manufacturers than have the freedom to create whatever they want because they have a small structure to maintain... And even these, went entering a competitive market have to compromise (see my other article about the brilliant little ASTERIO ROADSTER).
In between the Big with a racing heritage and the small, you can place most FORMER sports car producers... But these didn't resist the market squeeze that brilliantly and most got brought by the big groups. Some (if not all) as a way to "buy" racing pedigree that they didn't have... for example VW buying Audi, Lamborghini and Bugatti.
Now for the market... the humans buying the cars. Look around you and and try to place the people you know in the following drawers:
1 - knows about cars
2 - knows what they need on a car and looks at it as a transportation tool
3 - has no idea but likes cars
4 - doesn't give a damn and has cars... because
These drawers should be filled according to these division rules:
1 - A VERY HARD TO FIND 1 maybe 2%
2 - 20 to 30%
3 - 20 to 30%
4 - 38 to 59%
Now It's a little easier to understand why the market is getting duller by the minute. Most drivers on the road don't know how to drive, don't care about it.. an this attitude is a reflection of how they buy a car.
So big manufacturers have to follow this trends in order to survive. This is also the major reason for so much safety improvements in cars and weight resulting from it.
It's a really disappointing fact of this industry, Active Safety is being sacrificed in order to improve Passive Safety. It's a nonsense evolutionary factor that describes today's car industry... car are becoming big metal condoms. You have worse handling because of all that extra weight... and eventually you might crash... but if you do, airbags will pop out from every panel and the car's structure will deform completely but progressively and safe your sorry ass.
Me on the other hand... I rather have a car that can go around bends and avoid the crash :S maybe I'm too old fashioned.
The final tie.
People BIAS toward a brand because they really feel lost in this ever changing and trendy world, know little about cars and have very little culture about the automotive industry. If you have little knowledge, you follow design and specs... and automotive designers know this and tend to create lines that will keep you satisfied.
Most people in this country work their entire life to buy a Mercedes because every ass likes Mercedes and state poorly unsupported comments like "the star of the road", because they like the design, the comfort and think that they are in a safe inside one of these because of all the airbags and electronic gizmos and tones of metal. Most do this ignoring the fact that a benz is an (autobahn car) ... it's a well made decision to buy such a thing if you drive long distances and need a comfy, safe-in-a-straight-line car that, in a high speed crash would put it's weight's inertia into the crash and use other vehicles as an extra crumple zone (eventually killing other people in the process).
The truth is that most of these people then drive the car in mountain roads, and suffer the results of that huge living-room-on-wheels and all it's weight moving on top of a soft comfy suspension...and feel sea-sick in no time... and if they push hard, the lack of active safety will come on as an issue and eventually they could get surprised by the good old inertia laws (the same ones that could also kill people in other cars if having to deal with all that weight you are displacing)... and need all that passive safety that contributed to all that excess weight that made them crash.
My suggestion:
learn how to drive, learn physics and mechanics...and racing history... and then choose the cars you LIKE and that make sense to you and your needs, but on a knowledge base.
I'm mostly an anti Mercedes person (mostly because I feel they are building better and better cars, so I'm trying not to BIAS as much), but has I can fully criticize an A class creation (and apparently I was very very spot on from the first sketch... being proved right with that catastrophic test failure and the later A class model being redesigned towards the audi A3 shape!!!) I can also say that I absolutely love the original gull wing! I admit my BIASing but I can explain it. I don't like ferraris and hate most V engines, but the Italia's engine is just something else... and I happily admit that I love it!
I'm also a pro-VOLVO person and recon that anything beyond the S40 and C70 is too heavy and ultimately dangerous to drive... and believe-me.. I know Volvos. I wouldn't want to be inside a car that crashed an XC90... I think that you have trucks out there that are a softer option to be crashed by...believe-me.
I'm also a Old Honda lover, I have one! And I'm the first to crucify Honda with it's recent ECO-Mania stupidification... I can state that the ONLY good Honda on sale today it's the FCX clarity... this is from the company that gave you the CTR, ITR, NSX, CRX, ATR, Prelude and S2K!
Stop being biased JUST BECAUSE... and start opening your eyes... good cars are being harder and harder to find. Learn to find them, or suffer the consequence of living in a prius / insight, grey, dull, world!

Salmon Fishing Scotland Spawning Atlantic Salmon in Scotland.
Tonight the Autumnwatch team cover spawning salmon on the Tay area and visit the Almondbank hatchery. The program is on BBC 2 at 8.30pm. If you miss it I will post a link to it on the blog later.
I have lifted this of the Autumnwatch web site for your interest.
This autumn Simon King visits the River Tay in Scotland to investigate the lives of the spawning Atlantic salmon.
More about Atlantic Salmon.
The Atlantic salmon is a muscular fish with silvery colouration and black spots. They have a small fatty dorsal fin and a tail fin and can be up to about 150cm long and weigh over 20kg, although this is rare. The mouth extends to below the eye or beyond. In males during the breeding season the lower jaw develops a hook shape for fighting. Adults also take on a reddish colour around this time.
Atlantic salmon are anadromous which means that they migrate from the sea to fresh water to spawn. The juveniles feed on aquatic insects and invertebrates in freshwater. When they migrate to the sea they start to feed on crustaceans and fish.
Salmon eggs are fertilised externally by the males. The female will dig a pit in the gravel (known as a redd) on the riverbed in which she deposits up to 900 eggs. A male will immediately follow and fertilise them before she covers them over using her tail. About 90-95% of the salmon will die after their first spawning but some are known to spawn several times, returning to the ocean to feed between spawnings.
The salmon are thought to spawn during conditions of appropriate temperature and daylight and so spawning varies in time between rivers. Most spawning occurs between November and December but some larger rivers have been known to host spawning salmon from October through to February.
Around 50% of Atlantic salmon populations in the UK are at risk due to a lack of pristine river systems, migration obstacles such as dams, fishing and climate changes affecting their biology.
Where & when to see them
* Atlantic salmon visit British rivers to spawn between autumn and winter.
* They are found only in the most pristine rivers. In the UK they are seen most prominently in Ireland and Scotland.
* The salmon tend to return to the rivers in which they were born to spawn.

Call Centres To Help Fans Buy World Cup Tickets
FIFA and the Local Organising Committee have opened a call centre to assist South Africans with challenges in applying for tickets for the 2010 World Cup.
In addition, there is also an international call centre for people from across the globe who want to be part of this historic soccer showdown from June 11 to July 11.
Fifa is now over the moon after ticket sales have improved tremendously since the fourth phase got under way last Tuesday. Horst Schmidt, the chairperson of Fifa's World Cup ticketing subcommittee, said they have sold 74146 tickets, adding that 130000 more applications were being processed.
"We have already had more than 200000 tickets requested within 100 hours, a number we are truly happy with.
"The fans understand that time is crucial now, as the tickets are allocated on a first come, first served basis, and that they should not wait for last-minute sales over the counter."
Apart from South Africa, the countries with the most tickets sold in this phase are the United States (4327), United Kingdom (1964), Mexico (1898), Australia (1231) and Germany (1193).

Happy New Year everybody!
Our Christmas was wonderful, and it was great getting together with family. My dad has had a nice break from therapy these past 2 weeks, but he seems eager to start up again.
He'll be starting therapy at Sister Kenny this upcoming week, and will continue to work on physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as aqua therapy.
Although he hasn't been going to 'real' therapy, we've been keeping him busy with our own projects. My dad will walk around the house, or we'll head to a mall so he can get some walking in. We feel that his hamstring has strengthened these past few weeks, and his walking keeps improving.
We work his right arm and hand quite a bit at home. He continues to wear the electrical stimulant 6 hours a day. He has gotten to the point now where he has enough strength to pull out a chair from the table with his right arm/hand! It takes a lot of concentration, but it's great progress!
His speech is always improving. Research says that you will have days when your speech seems great, then it falls back to where it was the day before. These 'down' days seem to occur less and less. He can read single words aloud. Yesterday we were looking at a children's dictionary and for the first time he was able to read over 50 words aloud to us! This is huge progress! The accuracy of his words and the sentences he's able to say is improving every day!
Today is my dad's 51st birthday! We all sang him 'Happy Birthday' this morning and he sang along too, singing every word with perfect accuracy! No big plans for today, except for as my dad says, 'PARTY!' So party we will, and enjoy the new year!
"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." -Zephaniah 3:17
(picture is from this Christmas Eve)

It's a happy Saturday.
Later, Nic, Kristiina and the kids are coming over. We're having a birthday party!
The birthday girl requested ice cream cake... and I decided dad's favorite plate from when he was a little boy would make the perfect size cake plate.
The request was for chocolate, with goodies inside (chips, nuts, toffee bits) and some homemade chocolate sauce. Mmmm.
I pulled out Grandma Staub's little box of candle goodies. (I wonder whose baby shoe box this was?) I think these have decorated grandma's cakes since I was a little girl.
With dad's favorite plate and Grandma's box of candle decorations, I'm feeling a bit wistful! Not to mention my little darling has turned 30!
Remembering these days like they were yesterday!
She wasn't much older than this when she discovered that Forgotten Kisses were among her very favorite cookies and they became the traditional classroom-birthday-cookie each year in elementary school.
I made some for her this year... it had been a few years since she got these for her birthday.
Happy Birthday, my love. You are cherished.

Here's what one of our most recent and beloved interns, Robert, had to say about his time at SpacePortX...
I went to the University of Manchester and quickly became disillusioned with the concept of higher education, however, whilst there I met some brilliant people and together we ran the UK's largest student gaming event.
After that I dropped out, traveled a little and then got the worst job I could possibly find for me. I was a door to door salesman (a chugger) and hated it. I did that for two months to learn the skills I think everyone needs: self motivation, people skills and time management. After a few months of scraping what ever work I could, I managed to convince Adam Groves (the previous intern) and then Doug that I wasn't in fact crazy and was passionate about gaming in the UK.
They still haven't worked out how crazy I am!
I wasn't actually looking for an internship at first, I was just trying to find a venue for an event I was running. Someone I know recommended I go to SpacePortX because they had good internet and was cheap! Whilst coming in to organise the event, I was talking to Adam and he mentioned that the SpacePortX team were looking for an intern and I thought hey I could do that!
3 months later I am still here and have learned so much, the whole experience has given me the tools to get my own startup going.
Since coming to SpacePortX, I have learned so much. I would say the main things are office management and social media management. I never really cared for Twitter before, but now I know so much about how to post when to post how regularly and so much more. The skills are really fantastic and transferable so I will be able to put them into action for so many projects I am working on in the near future!
Everything! Manchester is the best city in the world (or at least the UK)! This is where I have met my friends, my business partners and there is nowhere I want to be other than here. I want to work here, I want to go out here and I want to live here. I think there is something in the water that makes the people more passionate, more exciting, more everything! (Maybe I am a little biased but I don't want to be anywhere else).
Now that I've been here for over 3 months, I'm looking to launch a company focusing on student gaming in the UK and generally growing the UK gaming/eSports scene so more people can enjoy the games I find so fun!
Watch this space for my upcoming gaming events and so much more!

As a guest, do I toast the hostess and host on behalf of our side of the family? We're having a holiday dinner at the home of our daughter-in-law's parents for the first time. I don't know what's expected.
Does it matter whether my wife gives the host or do I have to? Public speaking is not my thing and under pressure I'm apt to stutter.
–JW, Providence, RI
- Make your toast as brief as possible.
- Only a sentence or two is needed at a holiday dinner.
- Rehearse your two or three sentences in the mirror ahead of time.
- Make eye contact with those assembled but certainly don't stare at the same the person the whole time.
- Handle nerves and don't fiddle with the hand that isn't holding your glass.
- You don't have to be a storyteller. Give a natural toast that sounds as though you sincerely appreciate spending time with all who have come together to celebrate…
- The important thing about giving a toast is to look at her or him to reply in gratitude.
If you're the guest of honor, you could give the first toast.
When there isn't a guest of honor — such as the birthday boy — usually the host gives a welcoming toast.
Following the welcoming toast any guest can gently tap their glass, stand, and briefly express their appreciation to the host or hosts.
Hold the glass by the stem
while you make your toast.

About ISER:
ISER is a series of bi-annual symposia, which have been held successively in Montréal (Canada), Toulouse (France), Kyoto (Japan), Stanford (USA), Barcelona (Spain), Sydney (Australia), Honolulu (USA), Sant'Angelo (Italy), Singapore, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and Athens (Greece)The paper will be available for download after the conference! A video of the robot is shown here:
The goal of these symposia is to provide a forum dedicated to Experimental Robotics Research. The number of papers presented during the symposium is small (less than 50) and the meeting is single track in order to maximize interaction between participants. Papers should focus on theories and principles, which have been validated by experiments, and on experimental paradigms and designs that inspire new theoretical approaches. Papers which discuss how theoretical conjectures were invalidated, revised, or confirmed and present details of experimental implementations and practice are of great interest.

Hello family! This week was... LONG ha. But still good for our circumstances. I will start with the questions:
1. Would you be willing to tell President Neil you think you have parasite so you can get some medical help?
haha It's all good. Parasite is all gone! Nothing to worry about now :)
2. Are things still safe where you are in Albania?
Dandy as always in good old Albania! :) haha Yeah I am safe and sound.
3. Are you allowed to drink the water there? What exactly do you get parasites from?
We drink filtered and bottled water as much as possible but if a member or an investigator gives you a drink of water at their house you need to drink it. It would be completely culturally wrong to not drink it.
4. How are all of the people doing that you are teaching?
They are doing pretty well. Here is a little overview.
Aisha and Family: We have come to the conclusion that Aisha doesn't really have much interest in the Gospel right now but her Daughter Gentiana and her friend both have baptismal dates now.
Rimi: He hasn't come to church in the last 2 weeks and hasn't been wanting to meet with us. We are going to try and have a lesson with him this week over Authority of the Church for a last effort to keep him.
Lori and her Mom: these are the two people that we received as referrals. They are AWESOME. Lori came to church yesterday and stayed for the whole 3 hours. We had a family home evening with them last week and it was awesome. The spirit was really strong and we had a great lesson and then afterwards had a lot of fun. I really hope Lori and her mother can continue to progress. They are amazing. We had an activity on Saturday with the whole branch and they came and had a great time.
Lili and Edi: they came to the activity on Saturday, had a great time, felt the spirit, said they would come to church yesterday, but then didn't come. We don't know what else to do to get her to come to church.
5. What is the Zero lesson?
The zero lesson is a lesson that we are encouraged to use when we get in with a family while tracting or the first time we meet with someone. It is a brief lesson that covers the things we believe and covers a little bit from each lesson and we are supposed to leave questions unanswered as directed by the spirit so that they want us to come back. It is really cool. I really enjoy the Zero lesson.
6. Is it still cold there?
It is still freezing here haha. SPRING PLEASE COME!
7. Are you still enjoying working with your companion?
Yeah, Elder Vans and I love each other. We really enjoy each other's company.
8. Have you learned anything new this week?
I have learned a lot of new words this week, I have started learning to read music, I also found out that the dentist in Albania is awesome! haha Yeah, if you are wondering why 60 dollars have come out of my account it is because I had 1 cavity filled and then one filling redone haha. Don't worry, this dentist was AWESOME! Actually, I think the dentist that Pres. Neil recommends is way better than the dentists in America. Her equipment was so cool. I got to watch the whole operation on a TV screen while they did it haha. I didn't want you all to worry about it so I decided to wait til after it happened to tell you that I went to the dentist but don't worry, all is well and it was way less expensive than it would have been in America! :)
So, this week was interesting. It all started out great but then Elder Vance and I got really sick. We still continued to go out and work as much as we could but then we both had really high fevers so we stayed in. I was able to recover within one day but Elder Vance has had a temperature over 101 and 102 for the past 6 days in a row. Kinda scary. We continued to work though because we had investigators and we figured that their salvation was more important than our temporary health haha. Yesterday after Church Elder Vance had a temperature of 103 and so we called sister Neil which is what we are supposed to do when we are sick. She was kinda upset at us for going to church and for working the whole week but oh well haha. She told us we needed to stay in yesterday and today. We obviously had to come do emails though. I hope she isn't mad at us for that. Anyways, we spent the day in Tirana on Tuesday because of my dental appointments, Wednesday we had some good lessons and then that is when I started feeling really crumby and then Elder Vance started feeling worse haha. It was a long hard week for us ha but we ended up having 5 investigators at church yesterday and got 2 baptismal dates. We also may have found a new family that wants to start learning from us. Oh, and we also have this kid named Olsi that we are teaching English and on Wednesday we showed him the Restoration movie and the spirit was really strong and we asked him what it would mean to him if Joseph Smith really saw God the Father and Jesus Christ. I think he is going to start taking the lessons from us too. It was really cool.
Okay, well I don't have too much else to say but I did take a little photo book of pictures that I have to the activity to show people pictures and these are the following things that I have found:
1. All the Albanian Girls think that Evan Baker is the hottest thing to hit this earth. They say Oh wow, He is hotter than Justin Beiber! hahahaha It is hilarious.
2. All the boys want to date Alexis, including pretty much every missionary in this Mission.
3. Everyone says the same thing when they see Ash and JD: He is a giant! hahaha
4. Everyone thinks our family is beautiful. BUT, not as beautiful as Evan.
5. They think that it is weird that Americans take so many pictures haha.
So yeah haha. It's true, We are an awesome family. People think I'm really weird from the pictures though haha. They think American Football is weird, and all of the crazy things we do in America makes them laugh.
I love you guys, I am sorry this email was so short. I just don't really have any cool stories from this week because we spent a lot of the time being sick! :) Hope you all have a good week. Sounds like the Buckeyes are (as usual) being awesome. And mom, the byu player. his name is Jimmer haha. It's not a nickname. At least I don't think so. I could be wrong. I'm glad Derek Benner is doing well! I love that guy. Man, I hope Adam is doing well too. I miss the good ol' Halo2 parties we had haha. Anyways, Let this week be amazing! BYE!

What made the experience of listening to A Good Year the most enjoyable?
A pleasurable book that was beautifully narrated. Story was better than the movie. Easy to listen to on a long flight.
Perfect book for francophiles! The narrator was great, and listening to this in my car made me wish I was driving in the south of France.
Charming, witty, unpredictable and thoroughly entertaining. Tim Piggot-Smith does an excellent job as narrator. One of those all too rare books you don't want to end.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a feel-good story about sunshine, friends and wine in the South of France.

I have been working a list in my mind of travel products that I really need. I hate traveling with a bunch of things that I don't need. In the spirit of that, I am focused on items that help keep travel packing simple. I have found several things that are on my wish list or that I already have.
1. Rothco Venturer Travel Portfolio Bag (Currently $9.49US)
Ok, there is no excuse why I haven't bought this yet. I have been looking at it for awhile. Sometimes when I'm traveling, I just need a small bag. I hate having to lug around my big bag of things that I have no use for. Standing in lines with a 25 pound purse is annoying. This looks like the perfect thing.
2. Freshette by Freshette (Currently $21.98US)
I already have a blog post about this, but this amazing little product has saved me many of times. Hubby and I often are in the woods or in rural areas. This works great! I don't think I need to go into further detail, do I? Every woman should keep one of these in her car or in a travel bag.
3. BAFX Products (TM) - 2 Pack - Anti Shock Hiking / Walking / Trekking Trail Poles - 1 Pair (Currently $23.95US)
I can't tell you how many times we have used our "Bamboozle Sticks" (our name for ours). These are almost identical to what we use. They don't sell our exact ones anymore. Use them for hiking, walking and if you are ever in the woods, it makes a great spider web killer!
(Price varies on size and color
I reviewed Otz Linen Shoes in the past. Since that time I have to say these are the perfect travel shoes. They are light and pack into any suitcase easily. They come in so many colors that you can find a pair to match any outfit. Comfortable and washable make these my favorite travel shoes.
5. OKO H2O Level-2 Advanced Filtration Water Bottle, 1-Liter, Air
I have been wanting to get one of these. I think it's time I finally break down and buy one. I never know where our adventures will take us. A good filtration bottle is something I need.

Dreams or Chemical Relaxing in Sedu Hairstyles
By: Mary Anne Lionel
Couple of months ago when I first learned about sedu hairstyles I decided to do the relaxing. My hair is naturally wavy, but it tends to curl every time it's wet outside. As I live in one of the most humid parts of the country, I have great difficulties with keeping my hair straight.
I thought that relaxing is the best way for me to save my time and to keep the hair straight. The time proved me wrong, and the result was simply disastrous.
When I pulled myself together and went to the salon to make a relaxing, I felt cheerful about fulfilling my dream of straight and sleek sedu hairstyle. When the process was over and I was leaving the salon, I thought of buying a wig.
So, I decided to warn you of such premature decision and describe you how the process goes:
1. Your hair is washed;
2. Then it is combed, divided into separate tresses, and the relaxing solution is applied;
3. After that some time is needed for the chemicals to work;
4. When the time's up, your hair is rinsed, and the neutralizing lotion is applied to close the scales of the cuticle;
5. Then the hair is conditioned to avoid breakage and swelling.
6. The last stage is the advice not to wash your hair for some time, two-three days at least,because your hair is not fully recovered from the chemicals and can be harmed even more.

Bitter Sweet (Nôkô furin: torareta onna), 2004, directed by Mitsuru Meike, Japan
When young Shoko (Konatsu) begins to have doubts about her impending marriage, she sets out to explore the boundaries of love by seducing and having an illicit affair with an older man (Hitoshi Ishikawa). This provocative and erotic study of love, betrayal and sexual awakening makes for a notable entry in the catalog of Japanese "pink" films. Yuya Matsuura, Rinako Hirasawa, Mutsuo Yoshioka and Kazuhiro Sano co-star.
A Woman Without Love (Una Mujer Sin Amor), 1951, directed by Luis Buñuel, Mexico
Married to an old and ailing antiques dealer (Julio Villarreal), lonely society wife Rosario (Rosario Granados) has an affair and becomes pregnant. She successfully hides the true identity of the child's father for 20 years -- until a large inheritance arrives for her son. Filmed in Mexico by master surrealist director Luis Buñuel, this melodrama is based on a short story by Guy de Maupassant.
Grandes Muralistas, 2004, Mexico
Art and politics converge in this dramatic exploration of two famous Mexican muralists, Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller to paint a mural, the fiery Rivera ultimately saw it destroyed when he refused to remove a portrait of Communist Party leader Lenin. The film further canvases the work of Siqueiros, a socialist whose paintings were strongly influenced by the Mexican Revolution.
Leyendas Del Cine Mexicano: Vol. 2, 2004, directed by Luis Kelly, Mexico
Originally produced for television, these programs pay tribute to two of Mexican cinema's beloved stars: María Félix and Pedro Armendáriz. Known to her fans as La Doña, Félix enjoyed a long, celebrated career as an actress, a profession she came upon by accident. Similarly, Armendáriz made his start as a railroad worker and tour guide when a chance encounter with a film director led to movie stardom.
Robinson's Garden (Robinson No Niwa), 1987, directed by Masashi Yamamoto, Japan
A contemporary take on the Robinson Crusoe story, this lyrical Japanese drama takes place in Tokyo, where a young woman, Kumi, loses herself in an abandoned factory and the surrounding lush gardens she discovers on the edge of town. Entranced by the beauty she finds there, Kumi starts spending more and more time in this haunting paradise, until she withdraws completely from the world outside. Cutting-edge filmmaker Masashi Yamamoto directs.

Metro Denver homebuying hits $1.9 billion in monthly sales
The Denver metro housing market — which includes single-family homes and condominiums — hit $1.9 billion in sales in June, the highest volume seen in the last 11 months.
The Denver Metro Association of Realtors June report shows that 5,582 homes were sold last month, a number on par with June 2013, when 5,581 homes were sold. A 8.3 percent increase in year-over-year median home prices to $285,000 helped push the overall dollar volume up.
Simultaneously, average days on market dropped by 31.7 percent from 41 to 28, following a recent trend of decreased time on market throughout the Denver area.
But low inventory, especially in the lower price range, continues to plague buyers and brokers, according to the report.
"Year-over-year, buyers in the [less than] $200,000 price range are feeling somewhat squeezed out of the single-family home market as there were nearly 53 percent fewer sold properties," said Anthony Rael, chairman of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors Market Trends Committee, which compiles sales data from 11 counties in the Denver metro area to create the report.
"This has everything to do with the continued lack of supply, as buyer demand remains very strong, and 30-year mortgage interest rates continue to hover below 5 percent," Rael said.
Overall availability of listings decreased by 5.15 percent in June compared to the same month in 2013.
The condo market remains very active, according to the report, with 6,632 homes selling year-to-date at an average sale price of $221,568, for a total of $1.47 billion.
For single-family homes year-to-date, 18,329 homes have been sold for an average price of $358,715 for a total of $6.5 billion.

Over the weekend I received this rather swish entry from Lucy Wills who was over the moon with her gift...
"Hello Tiffany, my box arrived a few day ago. Super elegant, and so thoughtfully filled.
A beautiful Dunhill mock leather wrap filled with pencils, two sets of crunchily thick laid card and envelopes printed with 'love' and a little swing tag entreating me to 'send love letters not emails'.
Being a sucker for stationery myself, this is rather special. Did you send it?

Blogging in class because there is simply nothing better to do.
The whole year felt like it's crawled by it was a painful year I'll be glad for it to finally be over. Many things have come and gone and have been hurt and lost many times it isn't a year I would want to relive. Many complications have risen from many different occasions that hopefully can be worked out. (realising how horribly vague I sound here) And the drive to attain perfection even more so prevalent now.
It's been a year with many downs and very few ups but oh well sometimes life is a bitch suck it up steph. Hoping for a better year next year (although looking at the events of next year i.e. O levels and your constant absence) I do not see how that is possible.
But enough of all the emoing I AM NOT AN EMO KID (ahem ben) the past few days have been fun what with the end of exams. Ice skating and walks and food and sleep is probably my ideal life (#maximumpig) so it's been a good couple of days. With that being said Chinese o's are just around the corner but I am hoping my command of the Chinese language will help me to sail through (HA).
Everything but nothing left to be said


text: Codi and I had a lot of fun! I started out by picking her up from school and got started straight away! We hit up some fun spots and despite the random creepers and chinese restaurant employees wanting to get in our shots in the alley, I can certainly call this session a success! I love when I get seniors like Codi that are quiet and shy but end up surprising you behind the camera because their personality comes to life! I hardly had to direct Codi at all she just did her thing =) I pray God blesses Codi in this new season she'll be stepping into full of being a grown up making grown up decisions. Listen to his voice and guidance Codi, and I know you'll go far to do great things!

New Veterans' Affairs Minister Stuart Robert says no timeline should be imposed on the fight against Islamic State.
He doesn't believe it will end in 12-18 months but is confident the aim to expel IS from Iraq is achievable.
The US-led campaign against Islamic State, which Australia joined just over a year ago, is seeking to knock out its communication and supply lines, take out its bases and recapture major cities.
"It is achievable if the right support is given to the Iraqi armed forces," Mr Robert told ABC television on Wednesday.
"I'm confident we can, over the coming months and years, achieve that task in Iraq."
Mr Robert said the destruction of IS would require its eradication right across the Middle East, not just in Iraq.
"But first things first. The government's commitment to Iraq is sound, it's logical, it's sensible, it's well resourced," he said.
"Subsequent decisions can be made at subsequent dates."
