An Open Letter To the Movie Poster for A Haunting in Connecticut
I haven't been much for breakfast these past few years; most days find me waking up nauseated (at worst), or with no appetite (at best). Oh, I get plenty hungry as the day wears on, but the mornings? Not for me. I'm fairly certain it has something to do with the fact that I spent a combined total of almost 18 months pregnant, stricken with "morning" sickness, and consequently, barfing my way through each pregnancy. (And yes, that is up to and including delivery date of both children.) Invariably, I'd kick off each day with the ever-pleasant "brushin' my teeth, brushin' my teeth, OH SHIT, HERE WE GO AGAIN… HWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK COUGH, COUGH. GWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUCHHHH."
(Thank you, Kdiddy, for your most accurate barfing sound effect help.)
So, yeah, Movie Poster. I guess you could say I've developed these unpleasant associations with morning, and all that it stands for. As a result, I usually walk around in a state of blehhh as the day begins, subsisting on coffee, and then commencing the inevitable March to the Vending Machine around 10 am or so. Yes, I KNOW, that's not "healthy" or "nutritionally sound," but you're a movie poster, for crissakes, so I don't know where you get off, passing judgment on people.
Where was I?
Oh, yes.
Anyway, Movie Poster, the time has come for us to have a little chat. I know you've seen me these past few weeks. I'm the brown-haired girl hustling down the subway corridor from Grand Central Terminal each morning, wearing a hipster-ish looking white knit beret thing (It's WARM, OKAY?) and carrying a bag large enough to smuggle a morbidly obese cat. I know you've seen me, Movie Poster, because the first time I spotted you, I literally stopped in my tracks, mouth agape for a good minute or so. And considering that this expanse of the corridor is populated by drunken sleeping hobos, the Walking Insane, as well as Blind Homeless Guy Who Sings Off-Key Renditions of Big Band Standards, all of whom I pass without a second glance, it takes A HELL OF A LOT to make an impression on me.
Oh, don't PLAY COY WITH ME, Movie Poster. You know EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID. Look at yourself! LOOK AT YOURSELF!
Yeah, not so chatty now, are you? I mean, my god. What were you thinking? Your title is pretty self-explanatory, and although I personally have no interest in scary ghost movies (I'm pretty sure I still have PTSD from seeing The Ring five years ago, and OH MY GOD, SHE'S HERE RIGHT NOW ISN'T SHE? SHE'S GOING TO CRAWL OUT OF THE TV LIKE A CRAZY-ASS CRAB LADY AS SOON AS I TURN MY BACK WHYYYY), I know some people are into that sort of thing. And presumably, would have paid good money to go see the film you're touting. So, I'm thinking maybe an ominous-looking house, a wraithlike, shadowy blob of evil, or hell, even a possessed child or two leering out from the poster would have sealed the deal for them.
And so, I must ask—what was the goal here? To shock? Mission accomplished. But in terms of getting asses in movie seats, may I ask who in GOD'S NAME—even if they enjoy the, uh, demonic possession genre—is going to see this poster, and think to themselves, "Will you look at that! A young boy, projectile vomiting into mid-air! And—oh, wow! I can ACTUALLY SEE the vomit, with great detail! Honey! HONEY! We simply must get tickets! Fandango this mofo!" Who, I ask you, who? And Movie Poster, if you even JOKINGLY bring up 2Girls1Cup*, I WILL END YOU.
My point, Movie Poster, is that I have a hard enough time getting through the morning on even the best of days, and you are not helping matters IN THE LEAST. I literally want to throw up every time I see you, and even if I look the other way? I STILL KNOW YOU'RE THERE. And hey--I know times are rough, and if I thought the AGGRESSIVELY GROSS image plastered across you was somehow driving people to see the movie, I'd try to understand. I sincerely doubt, though, that that is the case.
And so in closing, Movie Poster, I hope one of the corridor-dwelling hobos defaces you post-haste so I can once again walk to the train without fear of Impending Barf looming. Until that time comes, however, I will be taking the long way to the train, cursing you with every fiber of my being.
*I blame my favorite morning radio show (Opie & Anthony) for the fact that I know what this is. Please, please, if you don't already know what it is, you are better off, and I am jealous that you can continue living your life without knowing. In the name of all things sacred DO NOT GOOGLE. And if you refuse to listen to me, then for crying out loud, don't Google at work. NO, SERIOUSLY.

This is a horrifying post for me. No offense to you. I just haven't barfed in 14 years and the mere photo/mention of it makes me sweat and be nauseous and then you remind me of the horrors of 2 Girls 1 Cup in the same post and I was totally eating fro-yo while reading your site and omg, omg, omg, omg...
But anyways, happy Sunday :) - 12:16 AM
- metalia said...
Oh, Amy. I am SO SORRY. Seriously!

I've stumbled through the past few years as others have become shocked! and horrified! at our society's desensitization to images of sex and violence. I've thought, "yeah, that's true, just switching channels to the next CSI rerun about a brutally murdered prostitute."
But recently I've noticed more, shall we say, BODILY FLUIDS becoming acceptable as shock devices in entertainment. And this does not work for me, not at all. This poster is just one more piece of evidence. Is there a ratings system for this? Say,a warning block that says "snot and phlegm but no fecal matter?" (OMG I just typed "fecal" in your comments section, I'm sorry.)
Anyway, good lord, what's coming next? Actual people in bathrooms on the Pepto ads? Make it stop! - 12:28 AM
- Mimi said...
OMG... that poster. Horrible.
I'm now fighting the urge to Google 2 girls 1 cup or whatever because I don't know what it is and you know what happens when someone tells you NOT to do something! Aaaaahhhh! - 1:28 AM
An Open Letter to Metalia, used to be one of my favorite bloggers, now, not so sure.
Dear Metalia:
While I normally enjoy your NYC stories of Hobo's, subway freaks and Elvis babies, I think you may have crossed the line: the puke line.
Did you ever consider some of your faithful readers might be pregnant too? And might be suffering from week 15 "morning" sickness (morning my arse!) at 11:33PM PST, so bad that I can't lay down right now even though I KNOW I should be asleep, so I'm not a zombie tomorrow, looking like the creepy lady from the Ring? (Yes, I need to wash my hair and get a trim, shuddup!)
Oo! Platinum weddings is on...
So where was I? Oh yes, you suck.
I don't visit Grand Central or anywhere that shows that God-forsaken poster. Let's just say that my baby doesn't like that and not only am *I* fighting the urge to hurl, but so is my baby. I'm pretty sure that fetus vomit isn't going to sit well with me either.
So yeah... more funny blogs, less disgustingal ones. *air kiss*
Your hesistant reader, Alicia - 2:36 AM
- beyond said...
yes, this poster stopped me in my tracks the first time i saw it too. now when i see one from afar i force myself to look the other way as i get closer. truly awful.
- Kristie said...
Are you unaware that the tv commercial for the same movie shows the same image ... in slow-mo ... projectile vomit rising into the air .....
Yeah. *THAT* was freaking fun to explain to my 9-yr old. - 7:57 AM
Well I guess my stupidity prevented me from being nauseous at first sight, I was like, he has a tree growing out of his mouth, duuuuude, wha? But OH, the projectile vomit, sweet Jaybus, what is up with these Hollywood marketing types? I am not a horror movie fan by any stretch but WHO will go see that movie? Disgusting. Sorry you have to see that every day, Metalia!
- Ali said...
as someone who suffers from emetophobia...i have a giant "FUCK YOU" to say to the people who made this movie poster. seriously.
- bessieviola said...
OMG do we have no boundaries as a society anymore? I cannot handle that poster. Am so glad, for once, that I live in the boondocks & encounter NO advertising on my commute.
Sheesh. You poor thing. - 9:55 AM
I am awestruck by:
1) the fact that this up-chuck (what a great word) seems to be happening in zero gravity
2) your mad, mad MS Paint skillz - 10:25 AM
- La Petite Chic said...
Oh god, not 2 Girls 1 Cup. BLEH. I was shown that delightful little video by a guy "friend" who insisted that I just had to see it.
- SLynnRo said...
Shit like this pisses me off. I don't like scary movies because I am huge wimp. So don't force me to be exposed to this.
- kdiddy said...
hehehe, glad I could be of service, m'lady.
What IS that kid vomiting up, though? Gold leaf chunks? - 2:41 PM
- dianarepublic said...
The poster is awful, but my real problem is now I wrestle with the wanting/not wanting to know about the reference to 2 girls and 1 cup. I read your warning and I appreciate it. I am actually glad that I am at work and hope to have forgotten about it when I get home. But if not, well, I apparently have no self control and will not blame you, you warned me.
- Kerri Anne said...
That movie is going to scare the crap out of me I'm sure, if I ever actually make it to the theater to see it. I'm the type of person who's always "Ooh, scary! Yes! Let's DO IT," and then about twenty minutes later, after arriving at the theater, "Oh, hey look, something funny. FUNNY beats PEE YOUR PANTS SCARY in rock paper scissors, right?"
(I did see The Ring (and screamed) and The Exorcism of Emily Rose (and also screamed), and yeah, I think about them far too often for my liking.) - 3:07 PM
- Angella said...
I can't do scary movies. Or barf. The two of them together is enough to make me stabby.
Which I guess means that I would be starring in my own horror movie... - 3:11 PM
- TUWABVB said...
The poster always reminded me a little of shitake mushrooms for some reason. Probably didn't need to hear that either, did you? :) Did you know that you can see the poster in action? I won't post the link though!
- Shireen D said...
Note to self: from now on listen when Metalia tells you not to google something. For the love of Shilo, LISTEN to her!!
(goes to hide in a corner) - 4:17 PM
- caleal said...
I LOVE creep out movies. The grosser, the better. However, this movie poster TOTALLY turns me off to this one. And even if it somehow got like, amazing reviews and nominated for fifteen Oscars, I STILL WOULD NOT GO. Luckily for me that won't happen. But still.
Dear Haunting in Connecticut TV commercial:
I'm trying very hard to get my preschooler interested in watching college basketball just like his daddy. Your insistence on appearing at every break of the NCAA tourney (at 3:30 p.m. for pete's sake) is NOT HELPING.
Stop it,
Big-12 Fan - 5:37 PM

Accidentally posted under husband's name.
Did not heed the DO NOT GOOGLE warning. I googled. Regret! OMG! My eyes! - 6:21 PM
- Melissa said...
That is pretty gross knowing that it is projectile vomit!!
I love O&A too!! But I watched 2 girls 1 cup!! I can't even hear that creepy music without gagging!!
I also saw 1 man 1 jar!!! Do not watch!!!! I nearly lost it!! - 7:57 PM
- Rhiannon said...
As soon as I finish writing this comment, I'm going to stand myself in the corner for googling something you SPECIFICALLY told me not to google.
- Lost In Splendor said...
Now that poster is going to haunt me. Could they have made it more creepy or disgusting? Bleck!
- geminigirl64 said...
images like that def dont affect me.
now on to my real question- where do you work? Email me- maybe we'll do lunch one day (I'm in the time warner building on 59th)! - 3:16 PM
I'm sorry, I still can't get past the name of this ridiculous movie. Ben and I saw a poster for it this weekend and joked that this was the first of 50 Haunting sequels, starting with Connecticut. Next up:
Haunting in Alaska: I'm soooo cold....and scared. Followed by
Haunting in Hawaii: I'm on my honeymoon and its so nice here.....but I'm scared.
The final Haunting? Haunting in North Dakota: I'm sooooo scared....and bored....mostly bored.
I'll spare you the rest but we must've gone through half the country. Anyway, we didn't even pay attention to the actual poster.
BTW, if you're looking for a reason for me NOT to start a blog, this comment might be exhibit A, I'd write retarded stuuff like that all the time. - 6:12 PM
- Kristabella said...
I didn't actually know it was barf at first. I thought it was some sort of demon ghost coming out of his mouth. And that didn't bother me.
As for 2 Girls, 1 Cup, I never saw it. I only saw the reaction video to it and thought, if ALL THOSE PEOPLE reacted that way, I probably didn't want to see it. I don't even know what it is about. Part of me is still curious though.
I hate scary movies. And didn't they already make this one? Plus, it is a true story. I saw something about it on E!. (Do you put a period after E!? I mean, the exclamation point is part of its name, right?) - 3:49 PM
- Momo Fali said...
Let me just say, that is quite possibly the LAST movie I would ever want to see simply based on the poster.
I know what you mean about The Ring. I was scared to death! When I got home from the movie, I made my husband take a shower WITH ME because I was too afraid to be in the shower all naked and vulnerable by myself. :)
Metalia, I love your blog. :)
I actually saw this movie before I saw the movie poster. I read through all the comments to see if anyone else explained the poster, but since they haven't, I will.
It's not barf. I don't know if that helps or not. But it's 'ectoplasm' coming out the kid during a seance. Apparently ectoplasm is an unidentified substance said to be excreted by mediums during trances/a slime like substance associated with hauntings. It's supposed to mean he's a really good medium.
Anyway, I think it's just a gas type blob thing. No puke, I promise.
Giselle - 12:47 AM
God help me, but I googled it. And nauseous is hardly apt to describe what I am experiencing. WHY?! Why could I not heed your warnings? What was wrong with having a mind barren of those images?! I feel like Eve after eating the forbidden apple...

So far at least one federal agency -- the National Labor Relations Board -- has already issued a formal 30-day furlough notice to employees. The Department of Justice says it plans to do so by Friday.
And the bulk of federal agencies planning furloughs will follow suit sometime thereafter. The FAA, for instance, will formally give notice on Monday that it plans to close 168 contractor-staffed air traffic control towers on April 1, and another 21 towers by Sept. 30, industry officials told CNN. The towers affected would be at small- and medium-sized airports that handle 5.8 percent of all commercial airline traffic.
Agencies will also cut back on issuing new contracts and reduce federal grants to everything from schools to airports to states.
March 26 and on: Furloughs take effect
Federal workers subject to furloughs will start working fewer days. That may be when the public first notices delays in federal services -- from making decisions about disability benefits to processing visas to providing airport security -- as well cutbacks in the hours of national parks.
When furloughed, employees are prohibited from working for a set number of days for which they will not be paid. The furloughs will vary from agency to agency.
The Pentagon, for instance, has said workers would be furloughed for one day a week up to 22 weeks starting in April. But the Department of Housing and Urban Development is planning on furloughs of just seven days: May 10, May 24, June 14, July 5, July 22, Aug. 16 and Aug. 30, according to a document obtained by CNNMoney. HUD offices nationwide would be closed on those seven days. And the IRS won't start furloughs until summer.
March 27: Funding for the government expires
Congress must pass a new bill setting funding levels for the rest of fiscal year 2013, which ends Sept. 30. If they don't, the government would shut down all but essential services. This is one legislative vehicle that could contain a sequester fix.

Felicia Suzanne Willett's love for all things culinary began as a child. She spent summers and school breaks with her maternal grandmother in Hoxie, Ark., just 30 minutes from her hometown of Jonesboro. "Biscuits and fried chicken … it was all biscuits and fried chicken," Willett said. "In fact, one of the first things I remember cooking was fried chicken. I talked a babysitter into letting me stay up and cook for my mother, who was out on a date. I don't even know if I had instruction."

SOURCE Vista Capital Company
SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vista Capital Company announced that it has arranged and closed $7,700,000 of financing for the Staybridge Suites located near the heart of downtown Indianapolis, in Fishers, Indiana. This is the second hotel financing Vista has closed in metropolitan Indianapolis within the last four months.
Situated in the beautiful suburbs of Indianapolis, the Staybridge Suites is a 146-room, 5-story, upscale, extended-stay, InterContinental-branded hotel, offering a variety of amenities. Built in 2000 by the current owner, the asset continually outperforms its competitors.
The financing was provided by a European-based structured finance group. The CMBS loan was bid by several conduit lenders, who were drawn to the market and the strong performance of the asset. The 10-year, fixed-rate financing will be used to fund a PIP in 2015. The financing will also retire the existing loan, while concurrently reducing debt service payments and providing ownership with an equity recapitalization.
Vista Capital was able to negotiate highly favorable, non-recourse, fixed-rate financing with pricing of approximately 4.5%. "Ownership was able to accomplish a number of difficult objectives via this transaction," said Zak Selbert, the founding principal at Vista Capital Company. "Despite the fact that many lenders are over-allocated in hospitality paper," Selbert added, "the borrower benefited from Vista's ability to structure long-term, fixed-rate hospitality financing that will guarantee a smooth renovation in 2015. The financing will also decrease the owner's cost of capital."

As a real estate capital intermediary, Vista procures tailored capital solutions for their clients through a comprehensive platform of services.

Area ski resorts set to open this weekend
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Windham Mountain will open for the ski season on Friday, its first November opening since 2008-09, while Belleayre and Hunter will follow suit with Saturday debuts.
To start, Windham will offer seven trails encompassing 44 skiable acres making use of a high-speed detachable quad.
Hunter, meanwhile, will offer top to bottom skiing and snowboarding, but for advanced or better ability levels only. Hunter's Hellgate, 7th Ave, Kennedy Drive and 5th Ave routes will be serviced by the Kaatskill Flyer six-passenger chairlift.

New lap sponge with enhanced visibility designed to improve patient safety to be introduced at the AORN 60th Congress
IRVINE, Calif., March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SurgiCount Medical, Inc., the wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: PSTX), today announced it is introducing a new proprietary surgical sponge at the upcoming Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) 60th Congress March 3-7 in San Diego, California. The patent protected SAFE-T Lap™ is designed to allow for improved visibility during surgery and enhanced X-ray detectability.
"The SAFE-T Lap™ is a simple, innovative product designed to provide users of the Safety-Sponge® System an added layer of protection and improved ease of use," stated Brian E. Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. "Based on customer insight and demand for a surgical sponge that is more visible both during use and on X-ray, we look forward to introducing this line of lap sponges."
The SurgiCount Safety-Sponge® System is clinically proven to help eliminate retained surgical sponges[1] and decrease the occurrences of misplaced and miscounted sponges[2], enabling hospitals to perform fewer X-rays related to this issue. The SAFE-T Lap™ is designed to provide a more easily visible lap sponge both during use in surgery and for those times when the established clinical standard of an X-ray is the best course of action for the safety of the patient.
Additional information regarding the SAFE-T Lap™ can be found here: http://scmd.com/safe-t-lap/.
The new SAFE-T Lap™ product will be introduced at the upcoming AORN 60th Congress March 3-7 in San Diego, CA in SurgiCount Medical's booth #462.

I presumed it was because there is one sound stream (not split) which is directed to either headphones OR speakers and thus there is one volume control.
If there were two sound streams, one to the headphones and another to the speakers I would expect two volume controls.
That would be my preference ...... and it would allow two different sound streams to be sent to the two separate sinks ...... allowing maybe a VOIP call to use the headphones while a song or whatever continued to play through the speakers.
Although the present scheme where the headphones switches off the speakers, it would be nice if that function was under user control as it is not always desirable.
With my current setup, would installing PulseAudio make matters better.
OK then, I'll take PA for a spin, thanks.-- Eddie

Culture vultures, get ready to take flight on an incredible tour of American capitals—business, political and musical.

Highlights: Feeling the beat in Memphis, Nashville and New Orleans, driving through the Appalachian Mountains, exploring monuments in Washington, DC, seeing the sites in New York City
National Parks of the Canadian Rockies Westbound (NCRU)
The Rockies are a great reason to explore the Canadian West, but why stop there? We asked that question, then answered it with this trip—a sprawling, nature-rich mini-epic that melds some of Canada's best national parks with time off the mist-shrouded shores of Vancouver Island. Loaded with diverse experiences—whale-watching, glacier hikes, hot springs and much, much more—and bookend nights in Calgary and Vancouver, you'll stuff a lifetime's worth of adventure into the space of a mere two weeks.

Southern Cross Country Westbound (NUCW)
Can one 23-day trip define the elusive essence of a complex nation with centuries of incredible history? Probably not, but it'd be a blast to try, no? Designed specifically for curious travellers with a passion for real experiences and lots of time, this adventure takes you from the busy streets of NYC to the shores of San Francisco Bay, with just about every shade of Americana thrown in along the way: Philly steaks, Lincoln, Music City USA, the French Quarter, Tex-Mex, Yosemite, the Vegas Strip… forget e pluribus unum; America's real motto is "go big or go home."

DENMAN Grooming Brush with Natural Bristle & Nylon Pins
MaryNJHairMedium BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairAwesome BrushI wanted something for my 3 year old that would get down to the scalp but not hurt her head either. It's great & she doesn't complain. I don't even have to use detangler anymore for her! I may buy the larger one for myself since my hair is too long for this small one!posted Mar 14, 2012Link to this post
EmmaHairDark BrownOily HairCurly HairLove These Brushes!I ordered two of these brushes, one large for my long, medium-thick wavy/curly hair and one medium for my boyfriend's similar tangly mess!
After using these for a few days, I'm completely impressed. I'm just so happy to have something that helps to distribute the oil at my scalp all the way to my ends! I think this brush is better than the all-bristle one because the nylon pins really get into your hair. I still have to brush under and over because they don't quite reach through all my hair, but I really feel so much better when I brush through my hair with this. This is my first fancy professional brush, and I'm totally in love. My boyfriend even likes it too, he says the pins feel like a head massage, and he's noticed that his hair is a lot softer. Thanks for great prices and customer service, Folica!posted Mar 13, 2012Link to this post -
SharonSan FranciscoHairLight BrownCurly HairFine or Thin HairPerfect! Denman Large Grooming Brush W/natural Boar Bristle & Nylon Quills MixFinally found my perfect brush!
I used to have a brush that was 100% boar bristle, and I loved it, but sometimes it wouldn't penetrate through my hair to my scalp, even though my dark blonde+gray, frizzy+wavy, un-processed/un-colored hair is very fine and a little thin. I would have to use a comb or a styling brush first, and then use the 100% natural brush for smoothing & shining.
Because I wanted a grooming brush that would not hurt to use, but still get all the way through my hair and onto my scalp, I recently tried a "Spornette" and a "Monroe Margeaux" brush. Both have a mix of natural bristles and nylon quills like this Denman, but both of them were too scratchy; the nylon bristles were too stiff and hurt my sensitive scalp. (They're both very nice brushes, but would work better for someone with a less sensitive scalp.)
Now that I have my new Denman large grooming brush, my search is over. This brush is PERFECT. It picks up all my hair, doesn't pull, doesn't make static, and penetrates to the scalp, but not painfully. Its natural boar bristles distribute oils through the length of my hair beautifully, and the nylon bristles complement them perfectly to help "grab" hair and detangle & get down to the scalp.

TawniHairBlondeNormal HairOily HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairAmazing!This brush was exactly what I was looking for! It's my go-to for every hair need! The price was perfect. The brush is almost exactly the same as the more expensive Mason Pearson brush, but for so much cheaper! I would definitely reccomend this product :)posted Jan 25, 2012Link to this post
SandraHairBlondeNormal HairLove This BrushThis brush is great. I have long hair and have no problem brushing it. It also seems to smooth my hair.posted Jan 23, 2012Link to this post
MonaCaliforniaHairDark BrownCurly HairFine or Thin HairWhy Pay The Price For Mason Pearson?Loved my Mason Pearson brush but I lost it after many years of service :o( I wanted a replacement but the funds weren't available for a MP so I ordered the medium Denman Grooming Brush. I absolutely love it and will never buy a Mason Pearson again! Only thing is I wish I had ordered the larger size. I'll order that soon. A girl can never have too many fabulous brushes!posted Dec 21, 2011Link to this post
AudreyHairOily HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairGreat BrushMy hair is very fine and straight, but thick in density and long. I wanted a brush for general grooming and basic styling (e.g. smoothing and removing small tangles). The medium Denman grooming brush is perfect for my purposes. The nylon bristles penetrate to the scalp while the softer, natural bristles polish and distribute oils. I have not found the nylon bristles to be unpleasantly scratchy, as other reviewers have. They're actually fairly flexible, and barely reach my scalp. I feel that they offer the necessary rigidity for penetrating the density of my hair without being too rough and damaging (like stiff, plastic bristles are).
The bottom line: I'm not sure how well this brush would suit someone looking for serious styling power, but I would highly recommend it to anyone with hair similar to my own who's looking to maintain their natural texture.posted Nov 4, 2011Link to this post -
ClaraHairDark BrownNormal HairOily HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairSynthetic HairChemically Treated HairNo To The Nylonthe nylon is longer than the boar bristles so it scratches my head and it hurts and so i had to only brush the very ends of my hair... so i cut the excess nylon bristles off so now its better to use... otherwise, it makes my hair really soft:)posted Oct 31, 2011Link to this post
Karen D.ArizonaHairBlondeNormal HairFine or Thin HairGreat HairbrushI have had a Denman small hairbrush for over twenty years and although it was looking a bit worse for wear I had trouble finding a replacement for it. But I finally found folica.com and was so happy that you carried it that I bought two. I have long very fine natural white/blond hair and it is one of the only brushes that does not pull my hair, but enables me to brush out any tangles just after shampooing and the boar bristles polish my hair to a glistening shine. I just love the smaller size. A biggger brush just tugs too much and the smaller size also fits in my purse much better. The quaity is as good as the English Mason Pearson brushes that sell for $70-80! and yet the price of the Denman brush is so reasonable. If my first brush lasted so long, I can testify that even using this for blow drying does not affect the longevity. I am 63 now so, given the lifespan of my first Denman brush, the two new brushes should last for the rest of my life!!I just love it and am so happy I found it again.posted Oct 4, 2011Link to this post
CarolHairLight BrownColor Treated HairLarge Boars Head BrushI tried to find out the demensions of these brushes which customer service couldn't didn't know so i took a shot and ordered the large..I couldn't wait to get my brush but was kinda disappointed..The quality was fine but i couldn't get the brush through my hair and my hair isn't even that thick..I have to use a stronger bristle brush to blow dry and my boars head brush on the outter surface ..I though about ordering the paddle brush but im not sure it won't b tne same issue.For people who have fine hair, i would recomend this bush..The price was great and quality great but not good for me .Didnt return

Soderberg is a genius as is the outstanding emsemble cast which includes Eric from "That 70's Show". See this movie, Michael Douglas offers up yet another great performance and Benicio Del Toro deserves to be considered the best actor of his generation, I hope I'm not overstating my point.

Five-year-old Nahzir Edwards and two-year-old Mlyliah Edwards were found in a stolen, gray 2005 Honda Accord sedan at East 128th Street and Park Avenue, according to police.
Authorities say Fitz Edwards, 29, took the boys around 5 a.m. Sunday from their home near Barber and Adee Avenues in Olinville, after having a domestic dispute with their 26-year-old mother.
Police say he fired a handgun once at the woman, missed her and set a small fire in her apartment that was quickly put out.
Edwards then walked with the boys three blocks away from the apartment, where police say he allegedly carjacked at gunpoint the Honda Accord.
The driver of the stolen car was not injured.
State authorities issued an amber alert that lasted several hours before the boys were found.
Edwards is described as being about 6-feet tall and 170 pounds with a slim build. He has braided, black hair, brown eyes and was last seen wearing a dark jacket.
He is considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information on Edwards' whereabout should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

West Bloomfield senior Seif Saqallah is still trying to get a handle on wrestling.
"This is my second year," he said during a recent practice session. "I'm a newby so I don't know much."
Indeed, most of his contemporaries have had years of wrestling experience by their senior seasons, unlike Saqallah.
Even so, he plugs along as a willing listener with a determination to get better.
He's absolutely sold on the sport of wrestling, where a test of wills and perseverance often present challenging moments for athletes.
But for Saqallah, who has been blind almost since birth, every day is a challenge.
When he was born 18 years ago, everything seemed as if it would go OK despite Saqallah's early arrival into the world. However, it didn't.
"I was born prematurely," he said, "and the doctors put me in an incubator. (But) too high levels of oxygen cased my retina to detach ... and it was too late by then."
The result has been a life of darkness, the inability to see vivid colors, witness spectacular views, or even see his mom and dad.
Still, Saqallah operates with the indomitable spirit of meeting obstacles and misfortune head on, and conquering them along the way. Continued...
"I don't feel it's a tragedy," said Saqallah of his blindness. "Everything happens for a reason. I know I'm blind and that's a given. I've adapted ever since birth, so I have no reference (of sight)."
He thought some more.
"It is hard," he said, realizing he would never be able to drive a car, "but you have to work through it."
Saqallah became interested in wrestling after attending a sports camp sponsored by the United States Association of Blind Athletes at Western Michigan University.
Originally attending Livonia Churchill High School until part of his sophomore season, he transferred to West Bloomfield, then joined the wrestling team, where he's been embraced by the Lakers, according to coach Greg Alessi.
They're all partners with Saqallah, whether its being a reference point or describing what's going on.
"They all took ownership for his well-being," said Alessi, who playfully calls Saqallah, Churchill. "The kids on this team ... I think he's a lesson for them."
Indeed, Saqallah is fiercely independent, taking part in all activities, including a fun session of dodge ball on one occasion.
He even runs with the team during workouts. "A tether-rope when he runs, that's the only thing he's asked for," Alessi said. "He doesn't want to be treated any different." Continued...
Saqallah has two younger brothers at home, 10-year-old Mohammed and six-year old Yazan. They have their differences, as siblings do, which has caused Saqallah on occasion to order the pair out of his room as his annoyance tolerance diminishes.
Still, "we sometimes roll around and wrestle," said Saqallah, whose love for wrestling contrasts with mom, Amneh, and dad, Basheer.
"My mom doesn't like to see me wrestle, it makes her nervous," said Saqallah, who nevertheless is grateful for his biggest supporters. They allow him to wrestle because it's what he likes to do.
"I owe them an incredible depth of gratitude," he said.
Saqallah has a 3.9 grade point average. His only grade less than an A in high school was a B-minus in pre-calculus. His favorite subjects are Human Biology and AP Literature, and he's also taken several years of French.
When he changes classes, he negotiates the hallways of West Bloomfield High practically on his own, and for homework, he uses a software program which reads pages and converts them into an audio format.
"It gets somewhat difficult between schoolwork and wrestling," said Saqallah, who on his free time likes to hang out with his friends and go to movies.
Still, he's trying to beef up his wrestling skills. He lost a challenge to teammate Matt Taub for the 112-pound starting spot and lost a 2-0 decision. He's had to bump up to the 119 pound class. "He deserves it," said Saqallah of Taub. "(Lately), I've been learning more than I've been winning."
Even so, he's fashioned a 5-7 record after a 1-1 performance at a recent tournament. "When I won, I thought I could do better, (and) when I lost, it was more analytical," said Saqallah, trying to sort out his effort. "That was all after I got a sip of water."
There's still some wrestling season left, and a mountaintop is still ahead for Saqallah, who hopes to end the season strongly. His name, Seif, translates to sword in Arabic, a sword of knowledge, if you will, which can slice through obstacles along the way. Continued...
"Opportunities are always there," he said. "You just have to know how to take it."

by James Spears
In a meridian
based approach to pattern identification and treatment, emphasis is placed on
understanding the relationships between the channels, and how the meridian
networks connect to the patients top three health concerns. The relationships
between the channels are determined by the traditional Chinese names for the meridians,
the internal-external relationships, and the horary cycle.

Semi Conscious
No, they would have had a monopoly on stand alone PCI express switch chips. ...
FTC ruling looks strange...monopoly on PCIExpress??? while there are several ...
PLX Tech stands alone
Dylan McGrath
That's when the regulators got involved. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) did an initial review of the proposed merger, then decided it wanted to take a closer look. When the FTC decided to do a secondary review of the deal, it became an enormous, time-consuming and expensive process, according to David Raun, PLX's president and CEO.
Ultimately, the FTC commissioners voted to forbid the merger from moving forward. According to Raun, the FTC determined that the merger would lead to a monopoly that would result in price increases and stifle innovation.
Raun did—and still does—disagree with the decision. According to him, PLX's main competition is (like many others) Intel Corp. Raun said he was frustrated because, in his view, the commissioners do not really understand the semiconductor industry, and though he interacted with dozens of FTC staff members, he did not encounter anyone with strong semiconductor industry experience.
"You have to understand the competitive landscape before you can make that judgment, from my perspective," Raun said.
But a ruling is a ruling. Shortly after the FTC's decision, PLX and IDT—rather than fight the FTC in what would have been another long, time-consuming and expensive process—terminated the merger agreement.
Now, a leaner PLX is back to focusing on a standalone company. Raun maintains PLX has no plans to find another buyer. In the past few months, PLX has shed unprofitable products—chiefly 10GBASE-T chips—and is focused 100 percent on PCI Express Gen3 switches. The company shed about 60 employees—those who were involved with the 10GBASE-T chips—and about $20 million in annual operating expenses. Whereas the company had been losing $5 million to $9 million per quarter, analysts now expect PLX to be profitable in 2013 and 2014.
Raun said he has mixed feelings about the merger being squashed. "The merger would have been good for the industry," he said, citing the combination of IP that would have resulted.
But the moves that PLX made as it prepared for the merger leave the company in a much stronger position going forward, Raun said. "The company is in a good position," Raun said. "Morale is very high about remaining an independent company."
FTC ruling looks strange...monopoly on PCIExpress??? while there are several other IO standards in place?
No, they would have had a monopoly on stand alone PCI express switch chips. There are no other vendors that make a PCIe switch chip greater then four x1, which TI and Pericom do make. And there seems to be no desire on TI or Pericom's part to enter into the bigger size switch market.
All due respect to the PLX CEO, going forward, especially with respect to ARM based servers, Intel is NOT a player in PCI express switch chips. I suggest he get cracking on innovating and bringing prices down so he can grab the market for PCI Express as a server backplane fabric.
Just look at the Open Computing Project's Microserver spec and you'll see they intend to connect all those Microservers with an x4 PCI Express lane per board. With up to 16 Microserver boards per carrier that requires a lot of switching!

You think famous people get to the top of their game overnight? Oh no. Everyone has to flip burgers (or make beds, in the case of Steven Tyler) to make it to the top.
I gotta be honest with you, Lovelies: This list gives me a lot of hope for the future. Not that I'm planning on being as famous as Mr. Tyler — I'm just hoping to make it as a "real writer" someday. Like make a book and stuff. And it can be hard to have hope for success if you have to keep working minimum-wage jobs to make ends meet.
But the jobs these famous people have worked… holy cow. George Clooney cut tobacco. Simon Cowell was a mail boy. Ozzy Osbourne worked in a freaking slaughterhouse. It's just absolutely amazing. This list just goes to show: Whatever you're doing now probably isn't what you'll be doing for the rest of your life. It's a wonderful, wonderful thing.
Though I have to admit, the thought of Nikki Blonsky singing when I give her a tip really makes me smile…
What "day jobs" have you worked before, Lovelies? Did any of the jobs once held by famous people surprise you?

Re: Jamie NessNess went 2-for-2 at Tampa today.
Re: Jamie NessHe always had a reputation of being a straight up kinda guy
Re: Jamie Ness
he did?? he's at the top of the list: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/04/sport ... .html?_r=1
Re: Jamie Ness2-for-2 at Tampa (after 3 races) today. He has the m/l fave in Race 7.
Re: Jamie NessAnd it looks to me like winners of races 1 & 3 that aired today ran only 2/5 second off the track record for their distance. (And in the first it was a $5000 cliamer that missed the track record by 2/5). This one was claimed, will be interesting to see how he runs for new connections.
Re: Jamie NessI'm gonna be a contrarian here (perhaps I'm naive and/or stupid), but it appears Ness spots his nags quite well, taking advantage of other idiotic trainers who don't know what the hell they're even doing in this game.
Vince P Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
Avatar: My cuzin Isaac Murphy - a jock I'm tying to emulate in character and winning percentage - almost 47% lifetime.
Re: Jamie Ness"The Losing End"
After my trainer's final juvenile sale, his wife scheduled an interview with, Joe, a famous turf writer. She wanted her husband to promote his body of work at juvenile sales and, hopefully, lure into the fold a new owner. (By the year 2011 the primary agenda of the racing press was still to trumpet trainer's prowess, to hook new owners, however, the numbers and speakers had changed dramatically. Hot trainers posted winning percentages my trainer never dreamed of 25% to 40%. Youthful owner-trainer combos openly bragged in the press about their pick-six conquest.)
Re: Jamie NessTampa may have larger and more playable fields, but it's still not quite big-league racing. Come on, it's Hawthorne and Suffolk South. Ness would never bat .460 anywhere bigger. He's dominating his smaller pond. Move along, nothing to see here.

FARMINGOALE. LONG BLAND NEW YORK cv Ja "Im r i Vol. 1 No. 3 STATE U m y a S I T Y AGHCULIURAt A N D 1GCNMCML MSimilE AT TSmKIMCnWi FEBRUARY 19, 1963 S.C. HIGHLIGHTS CERNY NEW Y.P. Richard Cemy, filling a vacancy left by the resignation of former Council vice-president, Joe D'Ag-ostino, was elected by secret ballot at the second Student Council meet-ing of the new term. In addition, disai^oval of the new tuition plan was voted by the Council which WCTt on record in a letter to be sent to Gtovemor Rockefeller, a motion proposed by Tom Kisla (CT Sr.). PROUST ICTTER A1 Mears motion to send a let-ter of approval to Governor Rocke-feller concerning the new tuition plan was defeated at the January 28 meeting but Tom Kisla's motion for a letter of disapproval to be sent to Governor Rockkeller was passed at this meeting. The wording of the letter was left up to the Council's secretary to com-pose. A campaign against tuition was proposed and the.prc^osal discus-sed at an unofficial Student Council meeting held on February 11th. Chairman Henry Kogok related that he had receiv^ from a reliable source at Brooklynf College, infor-mation about anti-tuition cam-paigns being held at city colleg6s. He also announced that a bill is forthcoming in the State Assem-bly, to override the Board of Trust-ees' decision in this matter- The bill is scheduled for a' hearing sometime near Easter. Suggestions for conducting this campaign included: 1. Informing parents of SAUTI students of such a campaign and urging them to write letters of protest to their State assemblymen and repre-sentatives. 2. Itwas also suggested that an assembly be held to in-form S.U.A.T.l. students of both sides in this tuition issue. A Student Council-backed petition against tuition was also discussed. Action on this proposal was deferred to the next official S. C. meeting. t Trustees Set Tuition To reduce inoonsistencies in fees and charges and to enable the State Uni-versity system to continue expansion, a new policy of tuition will be inaugurated in September 1963. This policy of tuition charges was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York, they announced, after long study and deliberatioa. Analysis of the current situation revealed that, unlike most sister state universities n^ch were established after the Civil War, the State University of New York is barefy 15 years old, founded as it was after World War U, vten the State Legislature appropriated funds for the education of college-bound men and women of this state. Since then, notes the Board of Trustees, the rise in enrollment has necessitated a vigorous expansion policy. New facilities, buildings, equipment and material must be provided at a faster rate than ever anticipated through public appropriation. The Board siees the tuiticm policy as an incentive to high scholarship rather than a deterroit to education, for the State's Scholar Incentive Program will ^courage serious colleg^minded students, and the increased revenue will guarantee the taxpayer a better use of his education tax dollar. OFFICIAL HUNG! Cerny, a Food Tech. Senior, has been active on numerous com-mittees and is chairman of the assembly committee. His new job will terminate in March with the election of a slate of Freshmen officers. The motion by Tom Kisla to make the parliamentarian a non-voting member was defeated. Kisla argued that the parUamentarian would be biased on' and could influence the outcome of Student Council action. Kisla also stated that the present parliamentarian Artie Burns (Ft Fr.) agreed with him on the motion. Burns took the floor and said he never said he agreed with Mr. Kisla on the motion and in fact he would not have taken the job originally if it excluded him from voting. The motion was finally d^eated by a hand vote. Friday morning, Fdbruary l,saw quite a number of students and other college personnel gazing iq>- wards towards the top of the camjxis flagpole, where an effigy of Mr. Walsh, new Assistant to Dormitories was hanging. This was a culmination of a plot which started in the,early morning hours of February 1, when a number of students stood up to be counted to voice their disapproval over the sudden rigid ^orcemoit of policies and regulations regard-ing dormitory students and tiieir living quarters. In an effort to show their dis-content with the new regime, these students selected the idea of hanging Mr. Walsh in effigy. Although the exact sequence of events and procedures used are not available, a vertible likeness in dummy was prepared and raised to the top of the flagstaff in a manner which prevented rapid removal by school authorities. Asked for information regarding this incident, both Mr. Tolino, Director of Residoice Halls, and Mr. Walsh, replied "No com-ment." However it was learned that a sum of about $50.00 was expended to repair damage to the flagpole caused by this student demonstration. Placed (Ml the ckamny was a sign with the princiiig "WALSH. . . . TYRANNY." Also on the place-card was a viiAd portrafal of a "hammer and sickle." The effigy was in place only for fsw bmrs. !iiat lAds was long enou^ fm- stulenis ID fcnnnlate (^jinions on this displav.

A prominent member of the Sbidenc CouncU gave his reaaon for taking advantage of the situation by impiying that he had lost varioMS sums of money on this machine and was just gettiag a llOle of it hack. Other participants in the "cheap cigarettes" sale refAied to the testing student that just because he did not smoke was ao reason m butt in on the party. The cigarette machine had been filled up the pcevions Monday bm was completely cleaned out by Weihiesday. OfOcials in charge of the machine were not aUe by press time to estimate how nach of a whid-fall the bargain hunters had realized. The IMversity system, estal4ished in 1948, encompasses the orig-inal 24 state - sufported instituticms. 27 newer ludts which have been incocporated into tihe system, phis a few medical and community colleges. This past faU. 68.000 full - time studoits enrolled at University sdioola. Appmaimately 35.200 attended tuition free. The ronaining stotents pay tuition rangingfrom$240to $700. In addition, all students are reqoired to pay a variety tic other fees and charges for health, student activities, etc:. Serious inconsistencies have appeared concerning students who plan to enter ioto the field oi teaching. Those who plan to teach in college nmst pay tuiti<m where necessary, while those who plan to teach in public sdiocAs have tteir tuition fees waived. This and other inconsistencies have led the Board of Trustees to call for a policy change because they feel the present policies do not reflect society's essential needs. "The conflicting and irrational sdnedule of tuiticm and fees no longer bears any relation either to the character of the programs offered by the University or, indeed, the University's {banned development," stated the Board of Trustees. It has been pointed out that the University's operating budget is now over $130 million each year and it is expected to triple by 1970. Also considered by the trustees was the construction effort which in ten years' time could well surpass one billion dollars. Hie University's Master Plan to layout funds for research, expanded library resources and an attonpt to reduce die Faculty - Student ratio will require a large amount of funds. If the University i s to achieve these measures in the ccmiing period of raiad eiqiansion it is extremely unlikely that it can be achieved from general tax funds of the State of New York. The trustees stated that any acceptable solution to the tuition and fee proUems would have to achieve the following objectives: (a) it should incorporate a schedule of charges which would be both consistent and equitable: (b) ft shmdd i ^ c e all charges on a level consistait with the Uni-versity's ccHnmittment to low-cost educational oi^rtunity: (c) It should contribute meaningfully to the fiscal base necessary to ^ planned expansion of the University and to its qualitative im-provement: (d) it should make provisions for some form (rf scholarships for those amdents who need fhyify-ijil aid. rvifi'^i Cfcarges The University's Board of IVustees have determined that beginning in September. 1963. all presently authorized tuition and fee schedules in die State operated colleges of the University (exclusive of voluntary student assessments) wUl be abolished and diat a uniform tuition sched-ule will come into effect. The net effect of this new schedule on individual students will be signifiranily lessened by the Scholar Incentive Program grants for which every qualified New York State resident is eUgible. These grants vary widi the net tawMe family income of each studoit and the level of collegiate instruction in which he i s enrolled. The foUowing table reflects the net cost to students which will result from the imposition of the revised hritian scheduled in September 1963. The TVustees intend to provide that no net tuition cost will be erarf^ of smrtfrtts in the lowest economic bracket. To accomplish this, the Trustees recommend that appropriate scholarship funds be made avaUahie to State UUversity. The foDowiag i s the new tuition schedule as it would affect SUATI.
