Sweep and Get Ready
Put another sweep in the books for the Rangers. I got to go down to Houston this past weekend and visit my good friend, Junction Jack (the official mascot of the Houston Astros). I drove down Friday night and got to Houston just in time to catch the last few innings of the game. What a finish!!! I was sitting right in the section where Nelson Cruz's winning home run landed and it was sooooo great to see my team win it in the 10th!
Believe it or not, I actually got to take a good friend of mine, Alan, down to Houston with me. Alan works with our media department and so we took a bunch of cameras and video cameras down to do some filming of my shenanigans. It was soooo much fun! Alan followed me around the stadium on Saturday and Sunday during the games as I messed around wtih Houston fans, high fived my fellow Rangers fans, and scared unsuspecting victims!! We also got some great footage of my exploits out and about on the streets of Houston.
Apparantly Alan also taped a special "A Day in the Life of Rangers Captain" segment. I'm not sure what that is all about but it should be available for viewing pretty soon. I certainly hope its not too embarrassing!
It really was a great weekend. We had fun video taping everything AND our boys took care of them Astros three days in a row!! Especially Brandon McCarthy's beautiful game on Sunday!
Of course this coming weekend should be even better! First off there is the double header against the A's on Friday with our famous Big Bang Friday Fireworks. Then the fun gets better on Saturday when I've got not 1, not 2, not 3 but 5 MLB mascot buddies visiting the ballpark. We start off at 1:30 for all of our special Jr Rangers with a special "Meet a Ranger" event here at the ballpark. Chris Davis will be speaking to our Jr Rangers Club members from 1:30 to 2ish and then me and my fellow mascots will be signing autographs for all the Jr Rangers. I'll have TC from the Twins, Fredbird from Cardinals, Mariner Moose from the
Mariners, Screech from the Nationals, and Junction Jack from the Astros all visiting that day so its gonna be fun. We will all be at the game Saturday night running around stadium doing what us mascot do: causing tons of fun and making people laugh!
On Sunday, the fun continues with our Photo Day. The first 5000 fans with a camera will get to walk along the warning track and take pictures of their favorite players. Then after the game we have Kids Run the Bases! Of course our Jr Rangers get first dibs on running the bases so make sure to sign you kids ages 13 and under up at one of the many kiosks here at the ballpark or online!
Well I've got get everything ready for my fellow mascots so I'm off to do my thing! Hope to see everyone here at the Ballpark in Arlington this weekend!
Check out these fun videos from my trip to houston:

My Thoughts on our 2009 Opening Week
Well Opening Week has come and gone and I can honestly say it was CRAZZZZZZY. Opening Day was especially insane and I was tired all day because I had to be up at 4:30 AM to be on the morning news stations. It was a lot of fun but tiring. I really enjoyed messing with the news anchors – they are so good at ignoring distractions and moving along. I couldn't get them to mess up one time….phooey. I was on the news like 60 times….oh okay more like 10 but still it was awesome.
Our Opening Day Ceremonies were amazing. We had the same band that played the National Anthem from Iraq last year here at the ballpark this year! They were very good! We had an awesome flyover, a Medal of Honor recipient, and a Navy Seal. We also had Former President George Bush throw out the first pitch….and I got to shake his hand!!!! Whooooohoooo that was really cool!
Of course the best part of Opening Day was our dismantling of last year's Cy Young recipient. What a great way to start the season! We went on to sweep the Indians for our first 3 – 0 start since 1996. Of course, our week ended on a down note with our struggle against Detroit but you know what? That simply makes us even hungrier to win games this week!
This week we are playing the Orioles and the Royals. Two teams that have started the season well so it will be a week full of good games. I'll be out every night cheering on my boys in red and blue so be sure to come and see me! Don't forget that Wednesday night's game is an Autograph Wednesday and $1 hot dog night. I can't wait – I loooooove me some ballpark hotdogs yum yum!
On Saturday, April 18th, we will be having a 5k Breathe Walk for the American Lung Association. I'll be visiting all the participants before the walk here at the ballpark so come on out and support healthy lungs!
My First Entry
Well its my first blog entry and I'm all excited about getting this started. I hope that all the fans of the Texas Rangers (and a few of my own) enjoy my blog.
Things are crazy around my home…errrr the ballpark. We've got less than 14 days before Opening Day. I am so hyped up!!! I love this time of the year. We are testing our new video boards, perfecting our new features, and I get to practice on all the new games in our kids' Sports Park! I've got a feeling that its going to be a great season that is full of surprises and celebrations! We've got a great lineup including 3 All-Stars and a couple guys coming off their rookie year ON FIRE!
I've been busy myself getting in shape for the season. I've been practicing with my t-shirt slings, pitching in the Rangers Wiffle Ballpark, and working with our Six Shooters on our dances for the season! I've also been working on some cool videos that I would like shoot.
Along with all the pre-season work, I've also been out in the community a whole bunch. Just this past Sunday, I was at the Dallas Kids Expo and it was awesome! There were a bunch of cool booths, a TON of kids, and some great music. I had so much fun dancing, taking pictures, and giving our my cool baseball cards that I lost track of time and stay extra-long! I've also been attending a bunch of TAKS pep rallies at different elementary schools in the area. I love attending these events because I know how important these tests are to the students and to the teachers!
This week is a busy one for me. On Friday, I'll be traveling to Van Alstyne, Texas for a school carnival and then on Saturday I'll be attending the Arlington Little League Opening Parade in downtown Arlington early in the morning! After the parade we've got a huge crazy projects day here at the Ballpark to get everything ready for Opening Day! After the projects day, I'll be heading to Shands Elementary School Carnival for that evenign. Its going to be a looooong day but I love being in the Ballpark with all my friends!
I love to hear from all my friends and fans so be sure to email me with any questions or comments. Thanks for logging into my blog and check back each week for new updates!

Story of Bali's Miracle
Eat, pray, love…Do you remember that movie about a girl who went travelling around the world to find her purpose in life? She stopped in Italy first, then she travelled to India and finally she found all the answers on an Indonesian Island called Bali. Our author, journalist and psychologist Olga Peters tried Julia's Roberts role this time. With only difference that she found her purpose much quicker than Julia's character - straight after she landed at Bali avoiding Roman restaurants and Indian Ashrams.. You ask how is that possible? Well, read on.SoulSoul

The Gazzano's
Italian delicatessen and Expresso Bar - amazing selection of Italian produce - including pasta, fine wines, cheeses and cold meats. At the rear is an Expresso coffee and panini bar
The Gazzano's - Italian delicatessen - Expresso Bar and paninis
The Gazzano's
The Gazzanos
167-169 Farringdon Road
London EC1R 3AL
The Gazzano's is something of an institution around the Farringdon Road. Four generations of the same family have worked here since arriving from Italy's Amalfi coast just after the war.
The founder was originally an olive oil seller from Liguria and in the 30's he travelled abroad to sell his produce each year - this routine was abruptly interrupted by the onset of the second world war.
At the end of the war he purely by chance narrowly escaped being deported on an ill-fated boat, which subsequently sank on the way to Australia and eventually he made his way back to England to be reunited with the woman he fell in love with before the war and the rest as they say...
Half a century on and Joe Gazzano with his father and sister are still maintaining the family tradition. This Italian delicatessen has an incredible range of all the Italian food you'd expect - shelves of dried pasta in every shape - fabulous Italian cheeses and cold meats and a serious selection of Italian fine wines, Grappas and Prosecco.
At the rear of the shop is the Espresso and Panini Bar with a seating area - they also provide a take away menu of freshly prepared rolls and paninis.
For an authentic flavour of Italy in the heart of Central London you must drop by...

With Pete Rose back in the news, at least somewhat, it's a great time to retell the deception of 4,192, the absurdity of the 1910 batting race and the day Pete Rose REALLY passed Ty Cobb to become the Hit King.
14 thoughts on "Pete, Ty and 4,192"
If you're reading this, Joe, I do believe that there's another Cobb hit that's controversial. Fred Lieb told about it in his memoir, Baseball As I Have Known It, and Dave Anderson dedicated a column to it during Rose's chase: http://www.nytimes.com/1985/09/10/sports/sports-of-the-times-rose-vs-cobb-hit-of-error.html.
The hilarity of Dick Young commenting on anyone's integrity should not go unnoted, either.
Not getting elected to the hall of fame was the best thing that ever happened to Pete Rose. Do you think people would still be writing articles about him if he got elected in his first year of eligibility? When's the last time anyone wrote an article about Johnny Bench?
Good point. He'd be another Tony Gwinn. Nobody would care.
Michael Strahan sack record anyone?
Most sacks by a morning talk show host?
There is no mystery in hockey assists. The last two teammates to touch the puck before you score get an assist.
And that was the last time the words "Pete Rose, the man of indisputable baseball integrity" were ever uttered.
Don't worry Joe another 6-8 years and the steroid users will be voted in after people start clamoring for David Ortiz. Then they might focus on Pete Rose, though I suspect the narrative will be these guys didn't gamble like Rose, let them in!
The huge irony concerning baseball (and other professional sports) is that they are terrified of gambling because gambling is so prevalent. If the outcome is potentially tainted, the millions of fans whose main interest in sports is based on gambling would go elsewhere. It seems it has never been an argument about integrity or ethics, it's about keeping the cash flowing.
Well, it's about integrity so far as it serves the sport. If fans think the game is rigged, or has a decent chance of being rigged, they won't watch. The NFL would absolutely love to see their premier franchises in the Super Bowl every year–to make more money–but they couldn't pull off a conspiracy on the order of a surprise birthday party, let alone fixing a playoff game.
So what? Of course, they are against gambling because it would hurt their business. That's like saying I'm against crime because I might be the victim of crime. Integrity is often contextual; if you are the store owner, shoplifting is immoral; if you are poor and need to steal in order to feed your family, it's quite moral. I don't see any reason why sports leagues should NOT oppose gambling simply because it's in their self-interest to do so.
Just saw the Alcoa Fantastic Finishes column. So basically every sponsored segment of a game is brought to us by JImmy Carter.
Yes, we know that the oil crisis of the 70s was 100% the responsibility of Jimmy Carter.
I've been reading your work for some time and wanted to make a short post to express my gratitude. This is the kind of piece I love from you: explores the history of the game, some of the characters from the past and touches a little on human nature in general. I also love it when you wade into deep philosophical water about the Hall of Fame. Myself, I lean towards the "history of the game" and "small hall" views over the "honour to the players" and "large hall" views. I hope you continue to write for a long time to come. Great stuff!

Scanning For CraftingReviewing: Epson Perfection 2580 Photo Scanner | Rating:
My husband originally purchased this scanner to load in boxes of negatives we have stored away and put all the pictures into CD format. We used the auto film loader for scanning in the negatives. After that job was complete, he scanned in well over 2500 pictures my father had in albums and boxes so we could distribute CD's of all the pictures to my brothers and sisters as my dad pased away earlier this year. I have to say this scanner held up through everything, although a little slow on the scanning it seemed to me, but I'm an impatient person. I now use it to scan in copies of cross stitch patterns for hard cover books so that I only have one page to handle rather than holding onto an entire heavy book. I can scan in very small pattern and enlarge them before printing to save on my eyesight!! The pictures from the scans are always clear and true to color so this scanner has been very good to us.

Welcome to our fifth Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report - 'Better Together'.
Since the release of SITA's last Corporate Social Responsibility Report, I have had the pleasure of joining the company as Chief Executive Officer. SITA has had a sound program of environmental and social initiatives in place for some time, together with a commitment to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact. These ten principles remain core to our CSR activity, and I reaffirm SITA's support for them throughout our business.
Our CSR focus remains on three key themes; integrating CSR into our business, managing our environmental impact, and bringing value to our communities. 'Better Together' shares the progress made in these areas throughout the year. The theme recognizes the efforts of our people across the business in bringing corporate social responsibility to life in our everyday operations. From adopting best practice approaches to actively engaging with local communities, our people have a key role to play.
At the start of 2016 we set ourselves a series of targets in environmental reductions and volunteering activity, and I am pleased to report that we achieved them by year end. Notable improvements were the 10% increase in volunteering days against our target, and the 10.5% reduction in energy use at the 19 sites where we measure consumption. We have however seen a 2% increase in global emissions from air travel. This remains a challenge in our role as a provider to almost every airline and airport across the world. Combined, our total emissions (offices and air travel) represent a 3.8% reduction overall across our business.
Over the year we continued to support young people in Africa through the work of the SITA Air Transport Community Foundation initiative. A particular highlight was the rollout of Raspberry PI Connect devices to schools in Amhara, Ethiopia – giving greater access to educational content for teachers and students. Projects also ran in Uganda, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The Foundation – governed by the SITA Council – echoes the commitment to education SITA has made with existing projects in Ireland, South Africa, Russia, China and Singapore.
I would like to recognize the dedication of our employees across the business who engaged with their communities through our Value in Volunteer Action program. They gave their time to projects that addressed food poverty, vulnerable groups, and the environment, and raised money for health research and good causes.
In 2017, we'll continue to work together to be a responsible business in our environmental and social practices, and to ensure that the contributions we make are positive. We will also take the opportunity to review the social and environmental trends across our industry and wider society, and the areas that matter most to our stakeholders, to inform our approach going forward.
Throughout this report you'll find more detail on our activities and progress in 2016. We encourage your feedback on our CSR Report via email@example.com.

"When you love someone, you'll do anything
You'll do all the crazy things, that you can't explain…"
Our love for Bryan Adams makes our hearts sing as we hum these lines on and on. What's more, it transports all the lost hearts, the lovesick ones, to a melodious romantic realm. Sounds like medicine to those ailing from the malady of being broken.
Don't you wish at times that you could stare out the window of your bedroom, soaking the nature in all its glory? Add to that the memory of the one you love and you can trace the smile that adorns your lips. Ah! To know of such a love and be a part of something that pure.
Most of us spend our life in want of that lovesick passion that rules the mind and soul. Waking up in the morning, waiting for the day to begin already. Counting your blessings as each day brings forth a hoard of gifts in all their blessed glory.
What to do once you have the love that completes you?
Well it is quite simple, is what one might say. Sure it is, once you know that it is about loving that person, all the while not forgetting to love yourself first. It is no meagre happiness that comes knocking at your doorstep once you fall in love. You cherish it; you shout it out for the world to know. What you should avoid, in fact, is putting it on a pedestal, high above your reach. Once that happens, its steep slope, and you cannot help but slither helplessly down in a pit of hurt.
Someone who is worthy of your love will never put you in a situation where you feel you must sacrifice your dignity, your integrity, or your self-worth to be with them.
For a healthy relationship love but do not pamper
The trick is in learning the difference between loving someone and not becoming a mere shadow to him or her. Your world might revolve around them, or they could be the very epitome of that love. Nevertheless, they are not the only thing that exist in the relationship after all. Going blind in their light, to the extent that you never come out of the darkness, is a too big a cost to pay. Then again, why should you give yourself up when they reciprocate a mere morel of their love? The intention here is not to deprecate the love they have for you, but to make one understand that it is not always about them.
Separating your intention of love from the act of pampering beyond limits is what makes any relationship work.
Love is not about self sacrificing
One often comes across scenarios where one partner dotes on the other. They tend to the tiniest of their demands, even laying down themselves. The point here is, to what extent is that worth sacrificing yourself. Only to have them walk all over it, without a second glance. To have shards of glass piercing your heart as you watch them soaking it all.
Love is not self sacrifice, but most profound assertion of your needs and values. It is for your own happiness that you need the person you love, and that is the greatest compliment, the greatest tribute you can pay to that person.
You do not live a life of anonymity while they face the sun. You do not squint your eyes, finding your way as you walk on the dark side of the moon, while they glow in the moon's brightness. No amount of passion, or even obsession, requires someone to hide behind their loved one, as they take the world by the storm. You have an identity of your own, one that makes you cross leaps and bounds to paint the canvas of life.
Nurture your relationship and watch it grow. That is the only way to have a healthy relationship. However, that can only happen once you have given yourself the due attention, which you rightly deserve. Two halves make a whole, completing the circle of life. One can only drag it to core of Tartarus.

HALLOWEEN tricks or treats can be devilish or divine, respectively. But there's always an edge of one or the other with either—the good always comes along with the bad. Disguised blessings seem to be the rule—one has to stay cognisant of the bright side of things or the lesson learned. My beautiful Calico cat Luci (photo in this post) was diagnosed with cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) affecting her tongue just this week, so I'm greeting this holiday season with a grim perspective of how precarious life can be. I'm trying my best to keep in mind that I still have more precious time with her until that day comes. I try to find solace in knowing that she's fifteen—a ripe old age for a cat. Keeping hopes for the best, her future is uncertain. Cancer of this type is an insidious disease that is practically untreatable. As long as she is not suffering too much, I have her, but I won't let her suffer for my sake. I hope she'll let me know for sure when it is time.
HER NAME is actually Lucifur in longhand. In Latin, the name literally means "light-bearer." It is almost always used as a name for the devil (Lucifer) in Christian convention. The pagan myth of the fall of angels associated with the morning star was transferred and personified as Satan. But in my life with this incredible cat, I can't begin to think of that name in a negative light. Some contend that Satan and Lucifer are two different beings. It's all mythology to me. Fallen angel or morning star, all I know is that my Luci has been a constant source of light for me and all those who know her.
ALTHOUGH a mischievious and playful kitten, she is quite a divine diva in her adulthood—and deservedly so. Instead of being a devil, she has always been a complete joy. She's the Cat in Man and Cat Omnidesign. Whatever amount of time she has left, she does and will live in my heart—a shining light and a true familiar spirit. She has become a part of my soul.
THE FRIVOLITY of the holidays is always balanced with things to spoil all the fun. St. Nicholas in Europe (especially in Austria) is accompanied by his companion Gruss vom Krampus (or Krampus for short), a devil-like creature with a long tongue (what a terrible irony with Luci's diagnosis). As St. Nicholas travels door-to-door leaving gifts for all the good boys and girls, Krampus deals with the ones who have behaved badly over the course of the year. Krampus is pretty harsh. He shackles the bad ones and stuffs them in a wood-staved pail on his back and carts them away, flailing them mercilessly with a switch from his birch bundle. The jolly, twinkly-eyed St. Nicholas is an American invention, patterned largely on Washington Irving's tale of the good saint as chubby, pipe smoking and industrious figure. Irving was a member of the New York City Historical Society which promoted St. Nicholas as its patron saint. The writer Clement Clarke Moore's "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and the classic cartoon of Santa by Thomas Nast which illustrated Washington Irving's (under the pseudonym of Diedrich Knickerbocker) "History of New York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty" popularized the modern form of Santa in America. This fictional history took hold and pretty much erased modern memory of St. Nicholas' discipline-dispensing companions. European traditions of St. Nicholas always rewarded the good and unleashed the punishment of the bad with his dastardly and devilish companions.
ON THE EVE of St. Nicholas (December 5th), hordes of people gather in Austria and Hungary to participate in an unusual winter festival called "The Running of the Krampus" (or Krampuslauf). It is an Old World tradition in which young men dressed as Krampus are brought into town by the gift-giving St. Nicholas in his long robe, glistening miter (a bishop's hat) and carrying an ornate pastoral staff—and unleashed on the crowds. The furry Krampus costumes are largely handmade and elaborate, sometimes towering seven or eight feet tall. This all serves as a reminder to all that goodwill to all men and charity toward one another should be the modus operandi for all of us in the coming year.
MY CAT LUCI reminds me of all this with complete simplicity. All it takes is a nuzzle and a lick or a bite on the nose to let me know that good behavior is reflected back toward one in many unexpected and mysterious ways. One has to take the bad with the good. Love is as ephemeral as the morning star. Love bites, licks and is warm and furry. And regretfully, it is ephemeral in the end. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
DEVIL IN THE DETAILS | A publishing anomaly it seems (not available at this time), I found this beautifully-designed "Red Fire" edition Bible (above, right) at Ross on the clearance book shelf. It is a bit of cultural anthropology that illustrates the sometimes myopic and unwitting mistakes the culture of publishing makes, along with the sometimes desperate attempts to moving the young masses by modern religion (to make it "cool"). It is accompanied by a mouthblown and handpainted devil/Krampus head ornament by Inge Glas of Germany. Imagine a proselytizing barker standing on the street corner holding this Bible toward heaven and yelling out fiery words of hellfire and damnation.
KRAMPUS AND CAT | A valuable antique Krampus (probably German) scrap ornament framed by a circle of lametta tinsel is from the mid-to late 1800's. It is shown with Halloween postcards, one of which is postmarked October 28, 1908. The stalwart cat sitting on a fence and silhouetted by a full moon is a die-cut Halloween invitation from the Martha Stewart Crafts line at Michael's (2008). The small bumpy glass ornaments from Martha Stewart Everyday at Kmart.
KRAMPUS IN DISGUISE | An unusual candy-colored interpretation of Krampus (left) by talented illustrator Ana Bagayan is deceptively inviting (used with her permission). Her blog is here.

We got the fantastic Nat @njacksonmakeup and Vics photography is @vicx_photography to come and to a Halloween photoshoot. Nat is a makeup artist and she has shared her top 5 tips with us.
Top 5 Halloween makeup tips
1. Gather inspiration! Look up films and tv or even books to find a character to re-create or to invent a whole new concept
2. Gore isnt always the best idea, I love nothing more than a good zombie but you can do creepy without the need for blood! However if you do decide to go for blood, buy cheap from Pound shops and add a small amount of blue food colouring to make it realistic!
3. Latex is cheap but doesnt always have a realistic finish, try gelatine, its cheaper than silicone and can be skin like, do be careful not to over heat as it can cause burns when too hot!
4. Always patch test products you havent used before!
5. Finally be safe! Dont stick sharp items to the face! Coke can to the eyes,scissors in the cheek, these looks have been over done but they are real metal and can cause injuries! Buy foam prop equivalents or try a different look entirely!

Andy Warhol was a modern artist who had a different view of the world. He saw the beauty in the mass produced but also in the individual. He represented the idea that you can be unique even whilst embracing the popular, hence the term Pop Art. So...

Now available in even more gem colours and a small length (6mm). These stylish pieces can also be used in the rim of the ear in piercings such as the Helix and Auricle.

Opal is one of the birthstones for October. It was referred to as the Queen of gems due to it's amazing ability to encompass so many colours. Learn more about opal here. "Opal is an uncommon gemstone with an equally uncommon beauty and a sadly common fragility--leading it to be recreated in the laboratory as a stronger composite that withstands the stresses the natural opal cannot." Barbara van Look, Fire mountain gems.
Our opal range is made from synthetic opal which is stronger than natural opal making it more suited to body jewellery. It comes in striking blue or more subtle white, but both shining with many iridescent colours. Opal has recently become a trend in hair fashion. Opal hair has many pastel shades to mimic the stunning stone. Available on steel, gold pvd or black it is so versatile. Opal on steel is classic and focuses on the opal, reflecting the light onto it. Gold pvd brings a richness and emphasises the blue colour. Black sets a dramatic backdrop for either the blue or white opal.

Rose gold looks great with pearls and our faux pearl range gives a soft look and a twist to this stunning jewellery. One of the things that makes rose gold so versatile to wear is that it looks great next to silver and yellow gold too, so it can be used just as an accent to enhance body jewellery you already have. Choose gold pvd, steel and rose gold rings or studs to create a beautiful combination in piercings such as the triple piercing (three forward pinna piercings).
Male body jewellery - be yourself, with quality body jewellery that is stylish, durable and comfortable. For stretched ear piercings tunnels or plugs in organic materials allow your stretches to breathe. Septum jewellery such as a simple steel horseshoe looks great and with two removable screw fit balls it is easy to fit them yourself. Choose a smaller internal diameter for a more discreet look, or a larger one for a bold statement. Tragus piercings look great on men too and black jewellery complements this eye catching piercing. Shop Tattooed Lady has supplied more unusual or extreme jewellery for 20+ years. Large gauge ball closure, segment rings and bars are available in steel or titanium to stretch piercings such as the Septum, Nipple, and male genital piercings such as the Prince Albert, Hafada, Frenum and more. Stretching is a serious undertaking especially in more sensitive areas, so we recommend you do your research and choose quality pieces of jewellery to prolong the life of your piercings and stretch safely and comfortably. If you have any questions about stretching using our jewellery please get in touch. You could also read more on the BMEzine Wiki, but please bare in mind everyone is unique and there is no one size fits all advice.
A ring can be a symbol of eternity and continuity. As body jewellery a nose ring is a classic statement of style. Whether you choose a gem set ball closure ring or a plain one, or even the smooth simple look of a seamless or hinged ring, it is a look never goes out of style. Rings can be made in many materials, 9ct gold is opulent and lasts a lifetime. Gold PVD gives the look of gold and is great for people with metal allergies or on a budget. Titanium is lightweight and can be classic silver or anodised to 7 bright colours. Surgical steel is durable and a lovely bright silver colour, it is the lowest cost material for body jewellery rings.
Ear stretching is a very old tradition and is found in many tribal cultures all over the world. The earlobe is very flexible so it can be stretched to a larger gauge of jewellery by using one of several methods. Some use weights and heavy jewellery, others use a tapered piece of wood, horn or bone to increase the size of the pierced hole. In modern times most ear piercings begin as either a 1.2mm or a 1.6mm gauge hole. In some cases you can have a dermal punch which usually is no larger than 4mm but this can take longer to heal and so is not necessarily a faster way to increase the gauge. Once the initial piercing has healed the earlobe piercing is then stretched up to around 6mm to 20mm but some people with very stretchy lobes can go as far as 50mm. In between stretching and once the desired size is reached flesh tunnels or flesh plugs can be worn.
Expanders (Tapers, spirals, fish-hooks)
Flesh Tunnels (have a hole in so you can see through the piercing)
Flesh plugs (solid material)
Stretching jewellery is made from a variety of materials; from the traditional bone, horn and wood, to modern acrylic, titanium and steel. Each type of material has it's own unique benefits to consider
Organic (bone, horn wood, coral) and Gemstone - breathable and prevent sebum and odour build up, huge range of colours. (Can be damaged by chemicals such as chlorine)
Steel (including PVD black and gold coated)- Strong and heavy and carries on the stretch, also can be easily cleaned and even sterilised
Acrylic - Comes in a variety of colours and patterns, light and inexpensive
Silicone - lightweight and flexible. (Can be damaged by chemicals such as chlorine)
Titanium - Durable, lightweight and available in 8 anodised colours.
Stretching your ear using an expander;
Clean the jewellery and piercing with warm soapy water and dry well. (Soaking your ear in warm water or showering can make the ear more flexible)
Lubricate the jewellery and the piercing with coconut oil, jojba oil or a similar unscented natural lubricant
Insert the expander using the thinnest part first from the front of the ear towards the back
Gently push but stop as soon as it becomes uncomfortable
Wait an hour, gently push again, stop if it becomes uncomfortable
Continue to insert a little at a time over several hours or days until the jewellery is in to it's widest point
Wait a week and clean your piercing and jewellery regularly
Always lubricate before inserting the jewellery again.
(be cautious if you have any allergies or skin issues, always do a patch test first if using a new lubricant, seek medical attention if you have any allergic reaction)
NOTE : Most people use tapers 1.6mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm , 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm etc...
As the ear is less flexible at the beginning of the stretching process it is wise to only go up 1mm at a time, once the piercing gets to 6mm it stretches more easily and so you can go up 2mm's at a time.

Alternatively you can use steel jewellery and weight the piercing for example using a ball closure ring (BCR) and a clip in weight, then once the piercing hole is stretched you can insert the correct gauge plug or tunnel. This method is harder to keep track of and control and is recommended for people who are experienced in it. It is more commonly used to stretch piercings other than the ears such genital piercings like the PA or labia.
If you do decide to remove your jewellery the piercing will begin to shrink back to it's original size. For stretches less than 10mm the piercing will usually return back to around 1.2mm, but for stretches larger than this the skin may not return to it's un-stretched size.

Anywhere you drive in middle Tennessee in the winter when the leaves are off the trees, you'll find boughs of mistletoe suspended high in the uppermost limbs.
Mistletoe was used by Druid priests 200 years before the birth of Christ in their winter celebrations. They revered the plant since it had no roots yet remained green during the cold months of winter and was vibrant and bore fruit when most other plants were dormant.
The ancient Celtics believed mistletoe to have magical healing powers and used it as an antidote for poison, infertility, and to ward of evil spirits. The plant was also seen as a symbol of peace, and it is said that among Romans, enemies who met under mistletoe would lay down their weapons and embrace.
Scandanavians associated the plant with Frigga, their goddess of love, and it is from this that we derive the custom of kissing under the mistletoe. Those who kissed under the mistletoe had the promise of happiness and good luck in the following year.

Epilepsy Tests & Diagnosis
Diagnostic Services
- Routine EEG (Electroencephalography) to measure the electrical activity of the brain. EEGs are performed to determine whether abnormal brainwaves are present, which can aid in the diagnosis of seizures as well as other neurologic disorders.
- Ambulatory EEG to measure the electrical activity of the brain over a 48-hour period. The patient wears the EEG electrodes home for 2 days, which allows for the capture of the patient's typical spells/seizures to aid in diagnosis.
- Inpatient Video EEG to measure the electrical activity of the brain while patients are hospitalized for 2-5 days in Emory's Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU). During hospitalization on the EMU, EEG is recorded 24 hours a day, along with concurrent video. Antiseizure medications are lowered during hospitalization in an attempt to capture and characterize seizures and spells, for diagnostic purposes or for presurgical plannin
- Structural neuroimaging, a major diagnostic service of the Emory Epilepsy Center and Emory Department of Radiology, to detect lesions and biochemical dysfunction that cause epilepsy.
- Functional imaging, with positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans, as well as functional MRI (fMRI) scans, to map the patterns of blood flow, energy use, and membrane receptors in specific brain regions.
- Neuropsychological testing to measure the severity of memory and other cognitive dysfunction that can occur in many individuals with epilepsy.
- Genetic testing, blood chemistry, and other laboratory tests also can help identify the causes of epilepsy.
Diagnosis of Seizure Types
Some patients may not find relief from seizure medication because they have been misdiagnosed. In fact, they do not have seizures, but another medical or psychiatric issue.
- Psychogenic non-epileptic spells can look like seizures, but no abnormal brainwaves are seen during the spells. These spells are caused by psychological factors, and are treated with therapy rather than antiseizure medications.
- Parasomnias, or sleep disorders, can appear seizure-like and can be mistaken for epilepsy.
- Syncope, or fainting, can result in shaking movements that appear seizure-like.
Improving Diagnostic Accuracy
In order to more accurately diagnose epilepsy and seizures, the Emory Epilepsy Center utilizes our Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), a 10-bed inpatient unit in the main hospital. Patients are admitted for continuous video-EEG monitoring; EEG data is recorded 24 hours a day, along with time-locked video. Antiseizure medications are reduced, allowing for the capture and characterization of the patient's typical spells. Often times, patients have been misdiagnosed with seizures, and as a result of video EEG monitoring, antiseizure medications can be discontinued. Additionally, accurate diagnosis can lead to selection of the most effective medication for the captured seizure type.
Video EEG monitoring can also be performed as part of the presurgical workup in patients with epilepsy whose seizures do not respond to antiepileptic medication. With video EEG, epilepsy doctors aim to find the area of the brain where seizures are starting. This helps determine whether surgery is a treatment option.

Dick Morris spins "silence" into Al Qaeda support for Kerry
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
Author and FOX News Channel political analyst Dick Morris has adjusted his rationale for his oft-repeated conviction that terrorists support Senator John Kerry's campaign for president.
In an August 18 article on right-wing news site WorldNetDaily.com, Morris predicted that terrorists would attempt to influence the presidential election by carrying out an attack on American soil: "[E]vidence that he [bin Laden] may be planning a terror strike to disrupt the elections here indicates he is planning to become more aggressive as Election Day nears." Morris offered: "My bet is it will help" President George W. Bush politically.
Apparently, Morris now considers such an attack to be less likely and has developed a new theory for how he believes the terrorists are going to influence the election in Kerry's favor. On the October 25 edition of the nationally syndicated The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, Morris told host Bill O'Reilly that "Al Qaeda is voting with its silence for John Kerry":
MORRIS: My sense is that the real question here is, how scared are we about terrorism? And I think that Al Qaeda is voting with its silence. Al Qaeda attacked us in Spain before the election. Al Qaeda attacked Australia before the election. Hamas and Hezbollah attack Israel before every election, and there has been no Al Qaeda attack anywhere in the world in months. No bin Laden tape, no threats coming out of it, and I think that Al Qaeda is voting with its silence for John Kerry.
And on the October 23 edition of ABC Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show, Morris reflected similar adjustments to his conviction that terrorists prefer Kerry:
MORRIS: You know, Al Qaeda is voting in this election with their silence. ... Do you hear a peep out of them? Do you hear a bin Laden tape? Do you hear a threatening gesture? Do you hear any kind of statement that any of them is making? And they know that if they attack, uh, the United States or in some major terrorist target that that's gonna raise the fear level and that it will help Bush. ... But Putin, who is opposed to it, said that a victory for Kerry would -- would not help the war on terror.
HANNITY: Yeah. ... I think your analysis is 100 percent right, and I think they know politically that an attack would help George W. Bush. I think they are that savvy and that aware of our political system.
As MMFA has noted, while there is a conspicuous lack of evidence to support the theory that terrorists prefer Kerry, there is some evidence suggesting that terrorists would prefer four more years of the Bush administration. As Reuters news agency reported in an October 15, 2003, article, the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a London-based think tank that focuses on political-military conflict, stated in the 2003-2004 edition of its report The Military Balance that the "war in Iraq has probably inflamed radical passions among Muslims and thus increased Al Qaeda's recruiting power and morale and, at least marginally, its operating capability." Further, there is strong evidence that America's invasion of Iraq has served as a powerful recruiting tool for Al Qaeda.

On Channel 4 News last night I discussed the denial of American "pick-up artist" Julien Blanc's visa. He can't enter the UK to give men seminars on how to attract women, thanks to an internet campaign and some horrendously poorly-informed people such as Lib Dem MP Lorely Burt, with whom I was debating the issue. Is it me, or is this an illiberal, sinister development in an already censorious climate?
We love banning things, don't we? In order to advertise our upstanding moral virtue we allow toxic horrors such as the feminist outcry over scientist Matt Taylor's harmless shirt to go unpunished. We ban talks at universities–universities!–in case we cause "offence". Bogus "security" concerns are wheeled out everywhere you look to restrict the public's right to free expression and shut down debate that the prevailing authoritarian consensus deems undesirable.
Is it too much to suggest that we're experiencing one of the most acute, dysfunctional attacks on free speech in recent memory? I don't think so. Burt likened Blanc to Islamic hate preachers whom we keep out of the country because their behaviour is "not conducive to the public good" in Britain. Now, look: Blanc seems like an unpleasant individual. I wouldn't attend one of his seminars. But is there any basis for denying him a visa? I think not.
Even the comparison is ridiculous. It shows a lot about how little words like "security" have come to mean and how debased the language has become when we talk about who is a threat to our society. It also betrays some fundamentally broken priorities. We were battling for twelve years to get Abu Qatada deported to Jordan, but it took less than a week for the Twitter offence brigade to ban Julien Blanc.
Are we going to start kicking people out of the country as well, if we decide we don't like their drunken pick-up lines, while we continue to tolerate people like Anjem Choudary? Blanc is a clown; Choudary incites terrorism in his cabal of supporters and went on Newsnight to defend Drummer Lee Rigby's killers. I mean, the situation is absurd.
And what a poor opinion of men we now have, if we believe that attending a seminar about how to attract women is going to turn them all into rapists? Forgive me, but I don't think sexual assaulters and rapists need tips on their craft from the likes of Julien Blanc. Nor do I think there's any reason to suppose Dapper Laughs–another victim of this new, Mary Whitehouse-esque prudishness–is responsible for his viewers' behaviour.
Is it any wonder men are looking for novel ways to approach women? The feminist establishment can't handle men who suggest there might be another way for the sexes to communicate. I know young men who are terrified to even approach a girl in a bar for fear of being ridiculed, or branded "sexist" for some imaginary, perceived infraction of the Feminist Rule Book.
There's also a giant elephant in the room when women are speaking in debates like this, I'm sorry to say, which is that the pick-up artists who make the news, such as Blanc, and another well-known author called Roosh V, are very attractive men who make no secret of the fact that they enjoy sex and have healthy, varied, enthusiastic sex lives.
So not only do some of these furious harpies get extra-annoyed because they secretly want to bang Blanc, but they're at the same time having to fight puritanical conditioning from the sisterhood. There is also the ugly truth that men like Blanc are unashamed about what they want from women. "Diss fatties, bang hotties" reads a t-shirt in one of his infamous selfies. I don't know when you last ran into a radical feminist, but with their hairy legs, red hair and odd facial piercings, they don't exactly fall into the latter category.
The real outrage here is the assault on liberal values that Blanc's visa refusal reveals, and how ignorant the people making these decisions always are. Lorely Burt is an assistant government whip. Yet, appearing on television to discuss the denial of a UK visa, she apparently hadn't done the most basic homework about who's been denied access to the country recently. When I asked whether she agreed with refusing Dutch MP Geert Wilders entry to UK for his supposed islamophobia, she admitted she didn't even know who he was. I mean, I despair.

Daily Digit: "Oz" makes $150.2 mln
Mar 11 - Walt Disney's big-budget 3D movie ''Oz the Great and Powerful'' opens with $150.2 million around the world. Conway G. Gittens reports.
The Daily Digit is $150.2 million. That's how much Walt Disney's big-budget 3D movie "Oz the Great and Powerful" made around the world last weekend. Ticket sales in U.S. and Canadian theaters rounded up $80.3 million for the best debut so far this year. The remaining $69.9 million came from international markets. The opening numbers for "Oz" provided a strong start for the $200-million production with a $100 million marketing campaign, which included a commercial during the Super Bowl, and numerous tie-ins. Plus, Walt Disney executives timed the release right. Over the next few weeks, there will be little competition in the family film market as many kids in the United States will be on school breaks, and likely to head to theaters. In 2010, Disney released similarly-pitched hit "Alice in Wonderland" which enjoyed global ticket sales of $1 billion. But Disney flopped with last year's effort. The $250 million Mars epic "John Carter" forced the company to take a financial loss. The box office needs some Oz magic right now. According to boxofficemojo.com, ticket sales saw their slowest February in over a decade due to absence of appealing films and the comparisons get harder from here with 2012 being a record year for Tinseltown.


text: Business Significance of selecting the right kind of equipment The importance of your catering equipment .es into light at the time of handling, preparing and serving of food to your clients. This is the point where you want to ensure if you are getting the best output from the catering appliances you have bought. The most required tools and catering equipment used in various segments of the catering industry include things such as chafers, mobile ice bins, banquet carts, beverage dispensers, buffet servers, holding and transporting bins and many other such items. Either you are shopping for catering equipment for your new catering business or just need to buy new appliances for updating your list of equipments; there are certain factors required to be kept in mind such as: Keeping in mind the space you have This is one of the most vital factors to be kept in mind as you have no other option but to ac.modate the set of equipment within the fixed space that you have. Therefore it would be smarter on your part to carefully select the equipment which is most required as well as not bulky to suck up all the space you have. This is essential also for the reason that just keeping in the equipment will not do the job and so the correct positioning of the tools is equally important for which you have to smartly choose the equipments fitting into your limited space. .pare prices before shopping If you do not want to run out of resources while purchasing for the best quality equipment then it would be a good idea to .pare the prices of the various leading manufacturing stores so that you can estimate before hand what would be the best equipment to buy for your catering business. Also make sure that not only in terms of price but you get the best out of the features as well. Keeping in mind all these aspects you must keep all your equipment in a good condition so as to have a smooth running catering business. About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

Mr. Jonathan G. Katz
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20549-0609
Re: File No. S7-14-01 - Comments on the Effects of Trading in Sub-pennies
Dear Mr. Katz:
Knight Trading Group, Inc. ("Knight") welcomes this opportunity to comment on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "Commission") concept release on the effects of trading and quoting in sub-penny increments.1 Knight appreciates the move to trading securities in penny increments has benefited the investing public by narrowing spreads and by bringing an enhanced clarity to the pricing of securities. Along with the benefits of trading in penny increments, problems have arisen that may be compounded by trading and quoting in sub-penny increments. These problems include diminishing liquidity, diminishing levels of price improvement, and reduced market transparency. We believe sub-penny quoting may interfere with the application of the Commission's order handling rules. Knight encourages the Commission to permit market participants to accept and trade orders in any increment. Knight, however, encourages the Commission to prohibit the posting of quotations in sub-penny increments except in limit instances.
Knight, headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, is the parent company of Knight Securities, L.P., Knight Capital Markets, Inc., Knight Financial Products, L.L.C., and Knight Securities International, Ltd. Knight's subsidiaries make markets in equity securities listed on Nasdaq, the OTC Bulletin Board, the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Europe and in options on individual equities, equity indices, fixed income instruments and certain commodities in the United States and Europe. The firm also maintains an asset management business for institutional investors and high net worth individuals through its Deephaven subsidiary. Knight's clients include the leading brokerage firms, and more than 1200 broker-dealers and 1000 institutional clients. Currently, the five-year-old company employs more than 1300 people worldwide.
While the full impact of the conversion to trading in decimals is unclear, preliminary evidence indicates that individual investors are benefiting from the narrowing of quoted spreads and the decline in effective spreads. Evidence exists that quoted spreads have fallen for all stocks by an average of 51%. The decline is most pronounced for the more active and lower price securities where these issues have experienced a 71% decline. Effective spreads also have fallen by an average of 46%. The narrowing of the spread and the decline of the effective quoted spreads have proven in the past to reduce the costs associated with trading for individual investors.
Despite the benefits produced by the transition to trading in decimals, evidence also exists that the conversion has produced some negative consequences. Initial research has found trading outside the spread has increased as a result of decimalization. This appears to be the product of a lack of depth at the inside due to the penny minimum price variation ("MPV"). This may also be caused by larger orders being more likely to get filled outside the spread. Displayed depth on Nasdaq has also declined and is approximately one-third of what it was before the transition to trading in decimals. The most highly active Nasdaq issues with the lowest spread and the highest price have experienced substantial declines in quoted size.
Similarly, the conversion to trading in decimals resulted in a substantial decline in the average number of market centers at the inside quote. The decline, however, varies by the type of issue. Since the aggregate quoted size declined more than the number of market centers, it appears the reduction in quoted size is a product of two factors: the decline in the number of market centers at the inside, and reductions in the average quoted size shown by any given market center. This problem also has resulted in diminished price improvement opportunities and for much smaller amounts.
A. Permitting quoting in sub-penny increments will not promote the fair and orderly functioning of the markets.
Knight believes permitting quoting in sub-penny increments will not promote the fair and orderly functioning of America's financial markets. Instituting four decimal place quoting will result in the creation of more than 10,000 price points per dollar in each security. This proliferation of price points, coupled with the likely explosion in the number of quote updates and the resultant stresses on market participant systems, could jeopardize America's capital markets.
While Knight appreciates the suggestions of certain industry participants that the Commission should permit sub-penny quotes, we disagree with this suggestion for several reasons. First, Knight believes quotes should only be in penny increments for most securities because of the anticipated increase in quote updates and the resulting strains placed on the systems of the market and its participants. Second, we see no legitimate reason why a market should be required to produce quotes in sub-penny increments except for the imposition of certain transaction fees. These fees include, but are not limited to, the fees charged by broker-dealers operating Electronic Communications Networks. Except for these limited instances, quoting securities in sub-penny increments will not promote the public interest and may actually lead to the less efficient operation and development of our capital markets.2 Third, Knight believes that for securities in which displaying quotes in sub-penny increments may facilitate more effective trading, such as in the case of OTC Bulletin Board securities and securities identified in the Pink Sheets, four decimal place quotes may be appropriate. Expanded pricing opportunities for these low-priced securities may facilitate the execution of trades in these securities, but trading quotes should be limited to four decimal places to enhance efficiency for these securities and the markets in general.
B. Posting all quotes in sub-penny increments will further undermine the value of the NBBO.
Knight believes requiring market participants to post quotes in sub-penny increments will substantially undermine the value of the national best bid and offer. The 1975 Amendments to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, resulted in the creation of the consolidated stream of transaction reports and quotations that is now available to the public on a real-time basis. The best displayed quotations of each exchange, market makers and alternative trading systems that executes orders in listed equities and Nasdaq equities, are collected by a single processor. This processor then calculates a consolidated best bid and offer (the "consolidated BBO") and disseminates the information to market participants and the public. The BBO is currently disseminated in penny increments.
For many years, the consolidated BBO has been treated as sacrosanct. With the implementation of trading in decimals however, the value of the consolidated BBO has diminished greatly as an indication of where the real market exists. The consolidated BBO now reflects the lack of liquidity existing at the inside market that has resulted from the conversion to trading in penny increments. The consolidated BBO also may mislead the public with respect to the quality of order executions available among various market centers trading the same issues. For example, the quality of executions afforded investor market orders by various market centers may vary widely in relation to the consolidated BBO at the time of order receipt. The price at which the order was executed may also fail to reflect that greater liquidity was available at a competing market center. In a decimalized world, the consolidated BBO no longer represents the best price or destination for execution of customer orders. The consolidated BBO fails to reflect the opportunity for customer orders to receive enhanced liquidity at a competing market center that is increasingly important in a decimal trading environment where liquidity has substantially diminished. Knight fears that quoting in sub-penny increments will only exacerbate these problems and further diminish the value of the consolidated BBO.
C. The Commission should not permit the use of sub-penny quotations because they will interfere with best execution and unnecessarily complicate the administration of the order handling rules.
Proponents of sub-penny quoting claim the expansion of the number of price points will encourage competition, further narrow bid-ask spreads and decrease payment for order flow. They also claim that narrower spreads will ensure better prices for retail market orders. However, there is ample evidence from the conversion to trading in decimals that quoting in sub-penny increments will further reduce the use of limit orders, impair transparency and impede best execution.
Moreover, Knight believes permitting quoting in increments finer than a penny will unnecessarily complicate the administration of the order handling rules. Knight is very concerned that permitting quoting and trading in increments finer than a penny with a minimum price improvement increment of a penny will create a disincentive for investors to use limit orders. We believe that if permitted to post sub-penny quotations, day traders will use this discrepancy to take unfair advantage of market makers and their auto execution algorithms. This gaming of market maker auto execution algorithms will encourage market makers to refuse to accept limit orders because they will be required to provide limit order protection that could be substantially greater than the minimum price variation of $0.01 for these same securities. The resulting decline in the use of limit orders by market makers will further impair market transparency and liquidity.
D. Quoting in sub-penny increments would make the administration of the short sale rule unmanageable.
Adopted by the Commission in 1938 to prevent bear raids through piling on in a declining market, the short sale rule, Rule 10a-1, is of little import in a decimal trading environment. Adopted at a time when the securities markets had less trading volume and simpler trading strategies, the Short Sale Rule is ill-suited to the decimal trading environment of today. Since the adoption of the rule, trading in equities has increased dramatically in volume, velocity, complexity and now form. The value of the rule and the ability of market participants to comply with its spirit will be further complicated by permitting quotations in sub-penny increments.
Quoting in sub-penny increments would make the administration of the short sale rule virtually impossible. Knight believes that even modifying the rule so as to conform to a trading environment with sub-penny quotations may not be possible because of the potential difficulty in applying the tick test in a market with flickering quotes. Knight believes that in light of the changes in trading behavior evidences since the implementation of trading in decimals with a penny minimum price variation, the Commission should explore eliminating the Short Sale Rule.
In conclusion, Knight believes permitting quoting in sub-penny increments will not promote the fair and orderly functioning of the financial markets. We believe quoting and trading in sub-penny increments will lead to increased levels of spurious trading activity, diminishing liquidity, and diminishing levels of price improvement. Moreover, Knight believes quoting in sub-penny increments will substantially undermine the applicability of the order handling rules and will make the application of the short sale rule virtually impossible.
Knight appreciates the opportunity to share our comments with the Commission on the potential impact of quoting and trading securities in increments finer than a penny. Should you or your colleagues have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (201) 557-6910.

If you decide on having a new hairstyle, you can sport hair with bangs. You can even cut your own bangs.
The materials that you need for cutting bangs are:
- A pair of sharp top-quality scissors designed to cut hair,
- a new disposable single-blade razor,
- a styling comb, and
- a mirror
Steps to Cut your Bangs
- Always cut your bangs when your hair is dry. Remember that this part of your hair shrinks as it dries. If you cut your hair wet, it might look very short after drying.
- Part your hair the way that you want it. With a comb, separate the hair that you don't want to cut. Secure this with a ponytail, bobby pins, or both. Only the bangs should hang loose for cutting.
- Use a fine-toothed comb to divide your bangs into two. Take one part and comb your bangs downwards, with the teeth of the comb facing out. This is done to estimate where your hair falls when the bangs are done. Do not cut your bangs higher than where your comb touches your face when you rest it by your brow bone.
- Start cutting the hair at a diagonal angle (45-degrees work best) if you don't have shaggy bangs. Work carefully and slowly. Remember, you can never cut your bangs while keeping a straight line. So don't cut your bangs across.
- Avoid using scissors, no matter how sharp they are, if you sport face-framing bangs. Use a new single-blade razor instead. Pull bangs stiff using two of your longest fingers. Glide fingers down to the end of the section and then use the razor to cut the hair above your fingers. Do the same process to the other half of your bangs.
- If you want to have layers, hold a segment of your bangs between your middle and index fingers and pull your hair upward over your head. Let the hair fall while you glide your hand upward, until you reach the ends. Constantly check with the mirror and make sure that the lengths are even.
- If you are going to use the blower to dry your hair, apply styling gel to your bangs before you dry it.

Iranian man charged in Nigeria over arms shipment
An Iranian man has been charged with arms trafficking in a Nigerian court, in connection with a shipment of weapons intercepted last month.
Azim Aghajani appeared in court in Abuja, but did not enter a plea.
Court documents reportedly identified him as a Tehran businessman, and also a member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
Three Nigerians have also been charged in connection with the shipment, which included rockets and grenades hidden among building materials.
The court said Mr Aghajani had been charged with attempting to import prohibited arms into Nigeria and conspiring to send the illegal shipment to Gambia.
The Iranian said he needed his embassy to represent him before he could present his plea.
Two of the three Nigerian defendants were only charged with conspiring to re-export the shipment to Gambia.
All four men are reported to be in custody in the Nigerian capital.
"This is a matter of great national importance, and if I may add, it has international implications," said prosecutor Matthew Idakwo. "These arms were imported from Iran to our country. It is of great interest to the world."
The BBC's Fidelis Mbah in Port Harcourt, who has been following the case, says Mr Aghajani's court appearance came as a surprise.
People were not aware that Mr Aghajani was going to be charged in court, as the Iranian government had been reaching out to their Nigerian counterparts to find ways of resolving this issue, our correspondent says.
The arms were discovered at Apapa seaport in Lagos in October. They were hidden in 13 containers shipped from Iran, which were labelled as building supplies.
Mr Aghajani is believed to be the man who was questioned inside the Iranian embassy in Nigeria several weeks ago in relation to the shipment.
There were reports that the Nigerian authorities wanted to question a second Iranian national, but that he had since left the country.
Iran has said the weapons were the subject of a "misunderstanding" that has now been cleared up.
Nigeria reported the seizure of the shipment to the UN Security Council for an apparent breach of the sanctions against Iran.
Another illegal shipment of weapons was discovered in Lagos on Wednesday, increasing fears among some Nigerians of possible violence ahead of next year's elections.
