December 11, 2012Liberian Presidents have had the tendency to carve grand ideas into "visions" when it comes to shaping the country's future, but critics say the problem is lack of implementation and not the quality of the blueprint.

Broken finger introduction
Comment on this
Fingers are easily injured, and broken fingers are some of the most common traumatic injuries seen in an emergency room. Finger fractures may account for up to 10% of all bone fractures. Because fingers are used for many everyday activities, they are at higher risk than other parts of the body for traumatic injury, including sports injuries, workplace injuries, and other accidents. Understanding the basic anatomy of the hand and fingers is useful in understanding different types of finger injuries, broken fingers, and how some treatments differ from others. The hand is divided into three sections: 1) wrist, 2) palm, and 3) fingers.

F. W. Hall, North Columbus avenue, last Friday night. Following an accident at the corner in whtch five high school students were Injured, Police Chief Elar ordered parking prohibited entirely for 100 feet on each side of Ocean avenue, and placed one-hour parking signs the rest of the way to Pine street. William E. Crevolaerat said this action had forced motorists to park In front of the library or to cross to the south side of the Merrick road at .great inconven-ience. He added that while park-ing was limited to one hour on Ocean avenue four-hour parking was permitted on North Ocean avenue, in front uf the Municipal Building where there was a great-er demand for parking space. His motlQn that tne. Village Board be requested to eliminate crease the dd^-hour limit t/0 four hours* and reduce- the four-hours on North Ocean avenue, to one hour was'adopted. The • association , /oted to pur-chase defense stamps of a par value of $25 each month and to convert them into bonds when necessary funds are available. It was also voted to request the Hempstead Town Board to nx a license fee on pin-ball games simi-lar to"that proposed for Freeport* with a view to eliminating the possibility of school children going out of town to play these devices if the village adopted a licensing ordinance. A. L. Klrby was elected a mem-ber. Refreshments were served, Vice-President Fred Blumer pre-sided in the absence of Thomas E. OafTney, president.

Eheim Jager 2nd generation of their popular heater, new designed head for recalibrating the heater. Fully submersible.
Newer model is supposed to make setting temp easier but makes it harder because when you try to set temp both the temp dial and the indicator arrow turns. You can't just turn the knob a little to increase/decrease the temp, you have to go past the temp you want by several degrees and then come back to the temp you want and since the indicator arrow wants to turn also you loose your place. New model is fully submersible and once you have the temp set it will hold it steady. The newer design doesn't have the button on the top, it has a red dial with an arrow.------------------------------. You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
Basicly gadget228 has said it all, I totally agree. I will only add that the temperature dial is rigid witch makes it hard to turn with wet fingers, meaning with the heater in it's place. Minor problem for most since they run with the same temperature all the time. Besides holding a fairly steady temperature, it warms up the water rather quick. After 20 % water changes with cold water, the temp. goes from 25 degrees to 22 in my tank. I use the 150 watt heater in my 65 gal. tank. And it takes under 2 hours to heat up from 22 back to 25 degrees. Jäger is good value for the money.------------------------------Greetings from Denmark
Ups. I paid 119 dansih kroners not 199 us dollar. I paid 21 $------------------------------Greetings from Denmark
I bought the 200 Watt from Dr's Foster and Smith for $20.99 0n sale, and if you spend $49.00 you get FREE shipping. This is the Best Heater i have ever owned. It heats my 75 Gallon Tank with Ease. Just remember they are BIG heaters the 200 watt is 15 Inches Long.
I have 20 of these. They rock.
Love these!------------------------------I have six words for you.
Only reason it doesn't get a 10 of 10 is how long the heater is, almost doesn't fit vertical in my 55. But otherwise it is an amazing product. Usually on sale for around $20------------------------------55g: DG, 10 Parva Rainbow, 5 GBR, 3 Oto, 6 Sterbai, 5 Platies, RCS 10g: RCS, 10 Boraras Brigittae; 10g: 2 Calico BN Pleco; 10g: 4 Sterbai MY 55G SET UP , MY DUAL 10g SHRIMP BUILD Plants: 55: Amazon Sword, C.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Sloane Stephens sat for nine minutes, mostly staring at the court and trying to forget the curious timing of Victoria Azarenka's medical timeout. She may have been the only one trying to ignore it.
The 19-year-old American had just saved five match points and broken Azarenka. But she knew she had to hold serve to stay in her first Grand Slam semifinal whenever Azarenka — the No. 1 player and defending Australian Open champion — returned to Rod Laver Arena.
The restless murmuring in the crowd gave way to slow claps. Why had Azarenka chosen that very moment for a medical break?
Azarenka eventually hustled onto the court, and Stephens won only three more points, losing 6-1, 6-4.
"I almost did the choke of the year," Azarenka said in a frank admission during an on-court interview. "At 5-3, having so many chances, I couldn't close it out."
The crowd that had cheered wildly for Stephens, only 25 hours after she ousted an injured Serena Williams, gave Azarenka tepid applause as she left the court. She'll face 2011 finalist Li Na in the final Saturday night. Given the support Li enjoyed in her 6-2, 6-2 win over No. 2-ranked Maria Sharapova, there's no question which player the crowd will favor in the title match.
Azarenka's immediate post-match remarks suggest she panicked after failing to convert five match points, her forehand misfiring. She had little trouble finishing the match after she came back, and the No. 29-seeded Stephens had cooled off.
"I just felt a little bit overwhelmed. I realized I'm one step away from the final and nerves got into me for sure," Azarenka said.
The 23-year-old Belarusian said she was later compelled to explain that she misunderstood the question in the on-court interview, and she wanted to dispel the perception that her medical timeout amounted to little more than gamesmanship.
"I understand the point of people maybe not understanding what I said; me not understanding what I've been asked," she said during an official news conference more than two-thirds devoted to questions on her medical timeout. "So I'm just glad that I'm here, you know, to make everything clear. Continued...
"You know, I think you cannot really judge by (a) few words. The situation had to be explained."
Medical staff said Azarenka had timeouts for treatment of left knee and rib injuries. The rib needed to be manipulated because it was affecting her breathing. Tournament director Craig Tiley said Azarenka hadn't broken any rules.
Azarenka hadn't helped herself in a second television interview after the match when she said she couldn't breathe.
"I had chest pains," she said. "It was like I was getting a heart attack."
She tried to allay any negative perception with her explanation that the choking was related to shortness of breath from the rib injury, not her faltering game.
"When you cannot breathe you start to panic," she said. "I was really panicking, not because I couldn't convert my match point. That's not the case. I mean, I'm experienced enough to go over those emotions. But when you cannot breathe, when something's really blocking you, the stress — that was the stress I was talking about.
"What I said — that I was stressed out and choked — was not because I couldn't finish my shot. It was just so stressing me out the pain that I had that, maybe it was overreaction, but I just really couldn't breathe."
Azarenka had retired during previous Grand Slam matches, including a fourth-round match against Serena Williams at the 2009 Australian Open. But with a second major title so close, and the fact she needed to reach the final to retain the No. 1 ranking, she desperately didn't want to quit this time.
For her part, Stephens seemed sympathetic. She had to wait through a medical timeout Wednesday when Williams received treatment for a sore back — the 15-time major winner injured herself after leading by a set and a break. Another rival earlier in the tournament took a long break between sets for other reasons.
"I mean, when you take a medical break or timeout, obviously it's for a reason," she said. "I mean, just another something else that happens. If it was one of my friends, I would say, 'Oh, my God, that sounds like a PP, which is a personal problem. Other than that, it's just unfortunate." Continued...
Besides, Stephens said, it didn't affect the outcome of the match.
"No, not at all. She played obviously a really good match," she said. "First set she played awesome; got close in the second. It didn't go my way, but I wouldn't say at all what happened affected the match."
Novak Djokovic dispensed with No. 4-seeded David Ferrer 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 in the night match, saying he "played perfectly" to reach his third consecutive Australian Open title match. Then he dispensed some medical advice of his own.
The Serb, who won the Australian titles in 2008, 2011 and 2012, wore a white shirt with a red cross on the back, pretending to be a doctor to treat Henri Leconte during a legends doubles match at Rod Laver Arena.
He's relaxed now that he has an extra day to prepare for Sunday's final. Djokovic will next play the winner of Friday's semifinal between No. 2 Roger Federer, a four-time Australian Open champion, and No. 3 Andy Murray, the U.S. Open champion.
Djokovic lost only seven points in 11 service games against Ferrer, and hit 30 crisp, clean winners in an almost flawless performance.
"I cannot remember the last time I played so well," Djokovic said. "I've played many great matches, but this one stands out. Hopefully, I can play the same level on Sunday."
He played confidently in the first two sets, and was sublime in the third. Even Ferrer, who has now lost five Grand Slam semifinals and never reached a championship match, was surprised.
After hitting a forehand a fraction wide of the line and losing his challenge in a review, Ferrer double-faulted to give Djokovic match point. The errors were a measure of just how much pressure Djokovic was applying.
Right after his semifinal, Djokovic started playing mind games leading to the final. Continued...
"Federer-Murray, when they're playing it's always very close," he said, confirming he'd be closely watching the match. "I wouldn't give the role of the favorite to either of them. I expect to enjoy it. Whoever I play against, I'm going to be ready."

The plus: Our daily email, of which the blogs will be a part, go to 20,000 people. The negative? I'm a tough editor.)
Lost in the madness that was last week, with a Crain's breakfast event, an interview with Cleveland Indians president Mark Shapiro and our story on the Indians offering to bid their radio rights (subscription only), the Cavaliers said they'd sell single-game tickets for the upcoming season starting on Saturday.
But the announcement came with a twist: The team only would sell games for the first half of the season, through Jan. 29. The other games would go on sale on Dec. 14.In a news release, the Cavaliers said, in part, "the new split season on-sale format is designed to deliver increased value to full season and partial season ticket plan holders … by giving them the ability to secure their seats, including the biggest games, for the entire season." And: "(It) also serves to benefit fans that simply plan on waiting to purchase single-game tickets for second half of the season games. Historical ticket purchasing data indicates that a significant number of single game tickets purchased during the initial pre-season on-sale period for games occurring in the second half of the season have been made by third parties and others operating in non-guaranteed, non-affiliated secondary markets."In other words: It's one more way to increase the value and perks of a full- or partial-season ticket packages the team sells — the number of which, by the way, has gone down as the team has fell off after the departure of LeBron James — and it protects brokers from buying up single-game seats to all marquee games in the second half, such as Oklahoma City (Feb. 2), the Clippers (March 4) and the New York Knicks (March 4). It won't prevent brokers from buying tickets to those games, it'll simply force them to, if they want a bulk purchase, they'll have to buy that many packages to get them. Interesting strategy, and one that at least one broker is mystified by. He said, in an email, "I have seen some crazy things on the ticket side from them the past five years but that is tops. They love outsmarting themselves. They have 10,000-plus tickets a game to sell and they are worried about the secondary market being flooded; crazy! Trust me, there wasn't a game last year, including the Heat, that brokers bought heavy for. They will lose 2 1/2 months of revenue for 20 games. I haven't seen anything like it."Spokesman Tad Carper said Monday that the Cavs are one of a half-dozen NBA teams employing the strategy for the coming season.More Cavs: This NBA.com breakdown of last year's numbers show how valuable Anderson Varejao is — and potentially how little Tristan Thompson contributed, a source of worry for Cavs fans. The Cavs were a decent team through the first 30 games last season, and were just a game and a half out of a playoff spot at that point. Then, playing without Anderson Varejao, they went 8-28 the rest of the way (8-27 after the All-Star break).It's doubtful that they would have made the playoffs if Varejao was healthy, but the numbers clearly demonstrate his impact. The difference between the pre-break Cavs and the post-break Cavs was mostly on defense and mostly on the interior.Before the break, the Cavs were a slightly above average defensive rebounding team. After the break, they were the sixth-worst defensive rebounding team in the league. Before the break, the Cavs allowed their opponents to shot 53.2 percent in the paint. After the break, they had the worst paint defense in the league, allowing their opponents to shoot 58.9 percent inside.Those numbers don't speak well of rookie big man Tristan Thompson, who played more than twice as many minutes after the break (957) as he did before the break (463). But they do tell us that a healthy Varejao will make the Cavs a much tougher team, no matter how quickly their young core develops.

GP escapes Wildcat upset attempt | Girls basketball
By JIM WALLER
Whidbey News Times Sports editor
January 17, 2013 · 1:50 PM
Glacier Peak used a big fourth quarter to avoid an upset by the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team, defeating the host Wildcats 53-39 Wednesday, Jan. 16.
The Grizzlies, one of Wesco's top teams with an 11-4 record (6-2 in league), out scored Oak Harbor 21-6 in the final period to salvage the win.
The Wildcats (2-6, 5-10) scored the final six points of the third quarter to take their only lead, 33-32. But things went awry in the fourth as Oak Harbor missed all 12 of its field goal attempts and committed eight turnovers.
Wildcat coach Trisha Wieber said, "We played a great three quarters of basketball and ran out of steam early in the fourth."
The Grizzlies, who entered the fourth having hit only three of 15 three-point shots, drilled four to help sprint to a 50-36 lead. Sawyer Manning, who hadn't scored in the first three quarters, connected on three treys during the run.
In all, Glacier Peak was 6-for-11 from the field in the fourth period and tallied only one turnover.
Early it looked like the game would play to the script when the heavily favored Grizzlies ran to a 13-4 lead and then led 13-8 at the quarter.
GP upped the lead to 11, 25-14, before Oak Harbor began chipping away. Kelsey Rankin sandwiched a pair of baskets around seven points by Jalani Bobo, and the Wildcats evened the count.
The Grizzlies ended the Wildcat run just before half and led 27-25 at the break.
Glacier Peak went ahead 32-27 midway through the third period, then baskets by Annie Leete, Rankin and Ciera Wiser gave Oak Harbor the lead 33-32 heading into the fateful fourth period.
Both teams had balanced scoring. Glacier Peak had four players score between eight and 11 points, and Oak Harbor four between eight and 10, but the Grizzlies had a larger supporting cast.
Bobo and Rankin had 10 each for the Wildcats, Leete finished with nine and Wiser eight. Deja Bunch recorded the other two. Wiser added eight rebounds and Natalie Fiallos seven.
Oak Harbor shot 27 percent (13-for-48) from the field, including missing all seven three-point tries. Glacier Peak shot 38 percent (21-for-55) and was 7-for-19 (37 percent) in three-pointers.
The Wildcats out rebounded GP 33-29 and had more turnovers, 28 to 21.
Oak Harbor hosts the conference's top 3A team, seventh-ranked Stanwood (8-0, 12-2), at 7:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18.

NFC News Review of Dark Slivers: Seeing Nirvana in the Shards of Incesticide | |
There's a vast number of books out there focusing on a band that did not actually exist for very long. However, this piece takes quite a different approach to the topic of Nirvana, in a two-fold way: it focuses on "Incesticide", an album that most authors don't devote much time on; and it treats the subject matter in a very different way that I personally have not seen before. With this book, you don't get a chronological type of run-down of the tired Nirvana history that most fans are already more than familiar with. Kurt hated his parents, recorded a demo at his aunt Mari's house, started a band, became famous, did drugs, etc. etc. Instead, you get the author's unique perspective on song lyrics, meanings, and what the band may have been thinking when they were making the decisions that ultimately resulted in Incesticide. Indeed, it's great to get a 'fresh' perspective on an album that hasn't been analysed much previously. And this from an author who clearly has studied the subject thoroughly and is very knowledgeable about it, and about the Nirvana legend in general. There's also some titbits of new information here and there, mostly in the form of quotes from interviews conducted by the author. For example with Bruce Pavitt of Sub Pop who sheds light on whether Sub Pop was planning a release before Nirvana signed with Geffen. I like the way the author goes about his subject, with much passion and interest, and he raises many interesting points and conclusions. You may agree with these or not, after all much of the book is the author's own opinions, but everything is certainly well-argued, and makes sense. The book is perhaps not ideal for the newbie Nirvana-fan, but if you have some background knowledge, and a keen interest in the Nirvana legacy, you will get some fresh perspectives from this author, a lot of interesting information about Incesticide, and probably pick up a few things you may never have realised before - about the songs and what went into them, or what may have happened behind the scenes. The very limited-edition paperback edition of the book is currently not in stock from Amazon, but you can get a copy by contacting the author at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also get the e-book from Amazon Check out the author's official blog for more info at nirvana-legacy.com. | |

NFC News Dave, Krist and Pat perform with Paul McCartney | |
With Grohl back behind the drumkit, the musicians performed a new song called Cut Me Some Slack which is included in the soundtrack for the upcoming film Sound City, produced by Grohl. More on the story from Loudwire: Earlier in the day, there were rumors that McCartney would be singing the late Kurt Cobain's parts for some Nirvana covers, but the collective instead performed an original track that they had written during an impromptu jam session. Bassist Krist Novoselic tweeted earlier that the song 'was kind of Helter Skelter meets Scentless Apprentice. It rocks with a heavy groove. St. Paul is powerful.'� Novoselic also tweeted out the photo of himself with Grohl and Smear. The concert also featured artists such as The Who, The Rolling Stones, Eddie Vedder, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and others. | |

NFC News New book - Dark Slivers: Seeing Nirvana in the Shards of Incesticide |
A new Nirvana book is just about to be published - Dark Slivers: Seeing Nirvana in the Shards of Incesticide. Unlike most other Nirvana books, this one is focused on the Incesticide album. From the author: While multiple treatments of Nirvana have retold their career as a story focused around chronology and dates 'who did what and where' I believe there's more to say. In Dark Slivers: Seeing Nirvana in the Shards of Incesticide I've treated Nirvana thematically, each chapter focusing on a single topic, positing a specific argument or perspective, then justifying it with evidence to lead to specific conclusions about the band. Incesticide forms the core of this work. It's one of only four album length releases issued during Nirvana's lifespan and with the personal involvement of Kurt Cobain. Yet, despite the forty or so books written about the band, Incesticide has barely received attention. This book attempts to correct that balance. A third of the book focuses exclusively on Incesticide, the other ten chapters use it as a starting point or component for wider discussions of the band and their work showing how unified the work of Nirvana was across their whole career, as well as features distinguishing each release and the intentions behind it. The book is now available for pre-order - simply email email@example.com. The book is �10 plus postage & packing. The ebook versions will be available for just �6.99.

Sometimes people ask to see it, so I thought I'd do a progress piece showing the stages of how I paint a portrait.
The subject is Keira Knightley, based on one of the photos in this month's Drawing Jam.
Stage 1 - 20mins
Rough scribbles just to get the basic proportions in. I'm not super-fussed about getting a likeness at this early stage - which is just as well, because it's looking sod all like her.
I do this bit at a low resolution and in greyscale for speed, and once I'm happy enough with the proportions, I scale it up.

10 Honest Things About Me
Besides, I really don't spend a lot of time analyzing myself. I am...just me. So I thought about it a lot and finally came up with something I thought I could share. Read it if you care. If not, wait for my next recipe. I won't be long! :)
1. I try not to attach too much value to the material things in my life. I don't ever want to be someone who absolutely cannot live without some thing.
2. For as far back as I can remember into my childhood, I've never bought into religions and into any of the many "isms" created to separate us from each other.
3. I have friends of every stripe-- my friends don't have to think like me or agree with me on anything at all and I am always open to a good argument and to revising my opinion when someone makes a good point. But I refuse to put up with intolerance, bigotry and narrow-mindedness. Oh, and I can't stand suck-ups either: I once had a colleague who, on his first day at work, went around jotting down the bosses' favorite baked goods in a notebook so he could make it for them.
4. Although I lead a pretty active lifestyle, I love nothing more than to do nothing. I live for those moments when I can sit back and take time out from every chore and responsibility. Call me lazy!
5. I pay a lot of attention to making the foods I cook nutritious and I do love to preach the value of eating healthy (as you well know :)), but I am an inveterate snacker. If left to my own devices, I'd snack my way through breakfast, lunch, dinner and in between on cookies, chips, cake and just about anything other than what I should be eating. Desi, who is a saint around snacks, has been trying to get me to see the light for many years now, but he's not succeeded yet-- at least not completely!
6. I am easygoing around housework. There's a tile I bought in Delft that hangs in my foyer and reads, very aptly: "This house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy." Enough said.
7. I think the saddest sight in the world is a caged bird. How people who claim to love birds can put them in a cage is something I will never understand.
8. I have a quick temper and sometimes it gets the better of me. It is perhaps the quality in myself that I most dislike and that I work hard to control. But I also cool down in an instant and I make an effort to own up to my mistakes.
9. I long for a world where there will be no zoos, circuses, aquariums and petting zoos.
10. I don't like making small talk -- in fact, I hate it.
So here they are, 10 honest facts about myself and 10 things more than I really wanted to reveal :)
Many thanks also to the kind Preeti of Preeti's Relishing Recipes who has passed on the following awards to me.
I, in turn, will pass on these delicious awards to every food blogger out there-- to all of you who so generously share your amazing recipes with the rest of us. Kudos to you!
And have a great weekend, all!

I cared enough to read, Vaishali.:D
And now, we know you a little better.
You grew up in Andheri? Saw that in one of your earlier posts. Where exactly did you live? Not that it matters now, but I'm just curious. I did too, and continued to live there (Andheri East) for a very long time.
BTW, I made your kootu with zucchini and coconut milk yesterday. It was very nice. Thank you. I would never have thought of adding coconut milk to my kootu or using zucchini as a vegetable for it had I not come across your recipe.:)I read the whole thing too and may I say sometimes I enjoy your prelude more than the recipe, no offense to your recipes :). They are all yummy and the attention that you pay to cook them comes across.
I have to say ditto on 2,3, 6 and 7. I have a small sign on my doorknob that reads "Come on in, sit and relax. Our house doesn't always look like this.. sometimes it is worse."
To TCB and you, I too lived in Andheri (W) for over four years, as a single girl, first with my cousin and then in a hostel on Char Rasta.Hi TBC, I grew up in Andheri West-- D.N.Nagar. Where in Andheri east were you?
Glad you tried the kootu-- reminds me I still have some zucchini waiting in my fridge to be used up :)
Anonymous: vegan blog-- hunting...goes without saying :)
Jaya, good to know you were in Andheri too. The last time I saw it, it was buzzing and the traffic was unbearable. But when I was growing up there it was almost a sleepy suburb of the big city. Good old days :)Vaishali,
I care to read every thing here but first time commenting here. What I like about you and your blog is your honesty about how you feel about animals and birds. I too feel this way, but It was not always like that. Even though I am life long vegetarian, I never thought much about other living things until last few years, not only animals, bird, but also I am trying to care about insects, plants. It is tough at times, but it is getting better.
And ofcourse, your recipes and food pictures are great. Keep up the great work.

commonly used to mean "I HATE YOU"
1 letter in I 4 letters in HATE and 3 letters in YOU 143
1. | 143 | ||
Means "I Love You."
One letter in I, Four in Love, and three in You. Musiq made a song about it. See sometimes words may get in the way
Of things that you really really mean to say So I wanna out this time to make sure that how I really feel Gets through to you Cause listen There aren't many more ways and words that I can say So I choose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way Got so tired of trying to find the most complicated way To say it to you so I simplified and broke it down To 143 – and that means I love you |
2. | 143 | ||
Common code for "I love you", as they amount of letters in that phrase is 1, 4, and 3. Pager code: "555-1234*143"
3. | 143 | ||
A numerical representation of the expression 'I love you' where each of the three numbers represents the amount of letters in each of the words.
Used by couples with pagers as a code to constantly remind one another that they still are affectionate. (More commonly used before the wide spread availability of text-messaging cell phones) My girl sent 143 to my beeper a thousand times yesterday - she really loves me.
4. | 143 | ||
I love you
1 letter in I 4 letters in love 3 letters i you A:Bye! 143

I Love You. After the "I Love You" lighthouse at Minot's Ledge, about 20 miles SE of Boston Harbor. In 1894 a flashing lantern was installed flashing once-pause-4 times-pause three times-repeat. Texting "143" to your kids gets a different response every time.

23. | Blonde | ||
Hot girls who are mistaken for being dumb just because of their hair color. psh.. Joanna and Noelle are mistaken for being dumb, just cuz their hair is blonde.
1. | Blonde | ||
A hair color sometimes associated with unintelligence when in fact intelligence is not affected noticeably by hair color. She's blonde...who cares?
2. | blonde | ||
A hair color that's a light gold color, and is usually associated with ditziness and stupidity. Usually they're just as smart as people with other hair colors, but some of them act dumb because they think the whole "dumb blonde" thing is cute or something. They're not necessarily prettier than brunettes or other hair colors, but some of them put extra effort into makeup, fashion and weight control because of what society expects of blondes. Hair color is entirely superficial, and it's extremely shallow to judge entirely on a physical feature that can be changed as easy as hair color. Certainly some blondes are ditzy and stupid, but so can anyone. Let their personality speak for itself, not their hair. As a brunette, I haven't noticed any correlation between blondes and ditziness at my school. Some of them are even at the top of our class.
3. | blonde | ||
It's a hair colour (gold, usually), NOT a personality trait.
The dumb blonde cliché started with the kinds of characters Marylin Monroe played in many of her movies. She usually played characters who were pretty ditsy, though sometimes she came through with some profoundly wise insight. So when people blame their ditsiness or naivety on being blonde, they are just pandering to a popular culture stereotype. In other words, being blonde has nothing to do with being stupid. Being stupid has everything to do with being stupid. Marylin Monroe's character, at the end of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, convinces her would-be father-in-law that women chasing after rich men is like men chasing after beautiful women.
4. | Blonde | ||
A Blonde is NOT a Bleached Brunette with a chemical spotlight on her inferior head. Britney Spears is a Bleached Brunette. She is not a Blonde.
5. | Blonde | ||
A person ("blond" is gender-neutral; the added -e is specifically for a feminine context) whose hair color ranges from a pale yellow to light brown. This characteristic is somewhat common in people of European/Caucasian stock, although it is said that natural blondes are becoming rarer.
A common trend in modern times is for people to dye their hair blond using a certain hair coloring agent. This trend is due to the depictions of blondes as symbols of beauty and attraction in the art and media outlets. An example of a blonde is Naomi Watts. Her fair hair glimmers every time she is on screen.
6. | blonde | ||
A hair color anywhere from extremely pale to sandy colored(lions coat color). That girl's hair is blonde.
7. | blonde | ||
Someone we can all make fun of, even blondes. That blonde is making fun of herself because she just read the urban dictionary definition.

Reader Q: What Is Biodegradable Sunscreen, and Do I Really Need It?
Last weekend, I was on a romantic vacay with my boyfriend in Riviera Maya and since we're both huge nerds for history and animals, we stayed at a resort connected to an Mayan ecological reserve called Xcaret. (Highly recommended, BTW). And, as I was packing, I read online that I had to bring biodegradable sunscreen. So, I went to all my usual beauty spots and drugstores and no one knew what the hell I was talking about...until, of course, I went to Whole Foods (duh). So, my reader question this week is kind of a everyone-I-spoke-to-trying-to-find-this-stuff question: "What the heck is biodegradable sunscreen?"
Meet Jaclyn, SELF's Other Triathlon Virgin!

Or me showing off how to work out with a sandbag, which is why I'm like all upside down in this pic.) That's why signing on for the Aquaphor New York City Triathlon was a no-brainer for me.

May 8th, 2012 at 4:54 pmI'm particularly fond of Cocoa Keratin System, it's a Brazilian keratin treatment that comes with the pre-treatment shampoo, smoothing treatment and daily shampoo and conditioner. I like it because the treatment lasts up to 5 months and its very safe on my hair, giving it nutrients, moisture and smoothing it down. The protein and argan oil help immensely and strengthen my hair while making ir super shiny. I recommend it
