How to Choose the Right Wig
1. Identify the coverage needed.
The first step is determining what type of product is best for you. Here at Name Brand Wigs we have an array of options, but if you are not ready or not looking for a full wig then we carry top pieces, ¾ wigs, extensions, and halos. You can check out all of our wig additions here.
2. Find your fit!
3. Identify your cap needs:
The cap is the base of the wig onto which hair is attached. Wigs are available with several different types of caps, and each cap type has its own distinct advantages. The four cap designs are Capless, Standard, 100% Hand Tied, and Monofilament.
Read our blog post on cap types that explains the differences further!
4. Find the right fiber!
Alternative Hair fiber can be categorized into the following: Synthetic, Heat Defiant or Heat Friendly, Human Hair, Remy Human Hair, or Human Hair Blend. See the charts below for the descriptions of each fiber type.
Synthetic Fiber:
Wigs made primarily of modacrylic fibers that have the look and feel of real hair. This fiber is very low maintenance and convenient. The fibers have built in memory which allows the original style to be restored after washing.
Heat Friendly or Heat Defiant:
A synthetic fiber that can withstand a low amount of heat. A heat friendly wig is pre-styled, but you have the flexibility to curl or flat iron to change the look. Once the style has been changed with heat it will hold, even after washing, and a heat source must be used again to change it. The fiber also tends to have a coarser, moldable texture than standard synthetic.
Human Hair:
Wigs made of human hair are primarily cut in India and China. Wigs made with Human Hair are very durable, and can withstand heat and products just like bio hair. However, they require more upkeep than synthetic wigs and must be styled on a regular basis. Generally speaking, Human Hair wigs are much heavier than their Synthetic counterpart, and will typically hold up longer.
Remy Human Hair:
Human hair that has not been weakened by stripping. Unlike most human hair used in wigs and hairpieces, Remy hair is created by careful processing which leaves the cuticle in place. The result is stronger, superior hair. To avoid tangling, Remy hair strands must all be aligned so the cuticle runs in the same direction. Remy hair is more expensive than cuticle-free human hair.
Human Hair Blend:
A blend of human hair and heat friendly fibers. These wigs should be cared for as a heat friendly item as they are typically composed of a much higher percentage of heat friendly fibers.
5. Determine what Style and Length you are looking for:
We have a huge selection, equaling thousands of options. This can be a bit overwhelming to a new wig wearer. Take advantage of the filtering on our website to narrow down our styles by length, hair texture, or cap features. A great place to start is our customer's favorite page. You can trust these are tried and true favorites, as they are the wigs getting the best reviews from other wig wearers like you!
Check out our face shape blog for recommendations on what style types will work best with your face shape.
6. Find your color!
Once you have a style narrowed down, you will know what your color options are, as each brand makes their own set of colors. We have online color swatches as guides for all colors. If you would like to see the swatches in person you can order a color ring here.
7. Get the proper care products
8. Give yourself some grace!
You might not get the perfect wig on the first try. It takes time to get the hang of this wig thing, and sometimes a little trial and error to find what brand, cap, or style might work best for you. We were all new to the world of wigs at one time. Don't get discouraged, you'll be a wig expert before you know it!
9. Don't forget we are here to help.
Our trained team has years of experience working with and learning about the products we offer, along with staying up to date on the newest innovations. We will go above and beyond to help you find the perfect piece! If you ever have questions, don't hesitate to give us a call. We are here to help walk this new journey with you!

3. YouTube! So many Youtube Reviewers have done an amazing job building a community that shares the facts and details on wig color, style, and more.
EXTRA TIP: When Searching For a Review - Notice the lighting you are seeing the wig in (natural or in-doors will look different), Note the reviewer's face shape and skin tone because it is likely different from yours.
A couple of our favorite reviewers are Let's Talk With Kim & Wear Wigs with Me.
4. Model Color - Many times the model is wearing the color you are looking for. Always take a look at the listing of the color/s the model is wearing, listed on every product page.
5. Order a Color Ring - Color Rings | NameBrandWigs.com If you are wanting a tangible sample of hair then this is a great option. Our color rings give you a small swatch of each color. Color Rings are divided by brands and are fully refundable upon return, you just cover the shipping!
Keep in Mind - color swatches are small samples of the colors and will not show how the style comes highlighted.
6. Lastly, We have an amazing customer service team that is ready to answer your color questions! Bring your research to them and get their advice on a few options if you have gotten stuck choosing.

EXTRA TIP: When choosing a style pay attention to the face shape of the model or reviewer you are looking at. We often make the mistake of thinking a style will look the exact same as it did on the model, the reality is we have our own unique beauty and that is what we want to keep in mind!
- Color > Best Tips for Choosing a Wig Color (See Above)
- Choosing the Right Hair Fiber -
Knowing what type of hair fiber you want can make all the difference when choosing a style. The main variations of fiber are: Synthetic, Heat Defiant, and Human Hair. Depending on your lifestyle you will probably prefer one of these options over another.
Synthetic Fiber = are modacrylic fibers that have the look and feel of real hair. Synthetic hair has the ability to return to its original hair pattern after washing.
Heat Friendly or Heat Defiant = a synthetic fiber that can take a low amount of heat. Once heat is used on the style it will hold even after washing. Heat will need to be used again to change the hair pattern.
Human Hair = Durable and versatile, real human hair that can withstand heat just as bio hair can. Human hair will need to be re-styled after washing.

Extra TIP: The type of fiber, Heat Defiant or Synthetic - etc.. are broad terms that spread amongst manufacturers, but as you become a wig expert you will start to notice that the thickness of the fiber can also vary amongst manufacturers.
Cap Size
Get the wrong cap size and you may find your wig sliding up off your forehead or being so tight that you end up with a head-ache. Below is a chart to help know where you fall:
>> Need to know how to measure? Watch our measurement video.
This becomes important for making your wig look like the most natural fit on you. Cap construction also will have an impact on your daily styling needs or preferences. For instance if you are wanting to change the part on your wig then you will want either a mono/monofilament part or mono/monofilament top.
Quick Synopsis:
Capless (or Open Cap) = light-weight and cool, not as versatile for styling
Standard (or Traditional Cap) = gives lots of volume, durable, not as easy to change the part
Monofilament (or Mono) = realistic looking, able to change the part, not as much permatease
100% Hand-Tied = every strand is hand sewn into the cap giving ultimate versatility.

General Wig Care Tips
How to correctly care for your heat friendly hair might be the most important key to the longevity of it. If you follow these directions and tips, it should be smooth sailing form here!
Make sure to use a wide tooth comb. Wire brushes strip heat-friendly fibers of their properties, making them deteriorate a lot faster than normal and they become more susceptible to damage. Using a brush also pulls the fiber down, and when it springs up it frizzes and tangles with fibers around it. Instead, use a wide tooth comb! These are much safer for regular synthetics as well.
It is very important to be gentle. Heat friendly fiber is prone to tangling and doesn't react to friction well. To help with that, try to limit the friction on your style. For example, try to use your fingers to brush and manipulate, versus using a comb all the time.
A good thing to do is to check your wig after every wear. Due to the delicate nature of this fiber, it is important to check it after every wear in order to prevent tangling and frizzing. The nape and any place that touches your body or clothing is the most vulnerable to friction and thus, tangling. If you notice tangling, make sure to tend to it right away. Mist 3-5 pumps around the wig, or directly target the affected area with Jon Renau's HD Smooth Detangler. Focus on the ends and nape, and stay away from any hand tied portions of the cap. Conditioners and detanglers will loosen knots and can cause hair loss in any hand tied areas. Use a wide tooth comb to remove any tangles, starting at the ends, and work your way up to the base of the cap.
Try an updo! With long wigs, be creative with your styling every once in a while to limit the friction of the wig against your clothing and neck. This will help minimize the frizzing. For example, braid the long hair, put it into a low pony, or a nice low bun to minimize the movement on your neck and back.
Lastly, we recommend storing your wigs either on a stand, mannequin head, or if need be, in the original box. Ideally, your wig will be stored with the hair fibers falling in a natural manner, and not being tousled, tangled, or rubbed frequently.
We recommend washing your piece every six to ten wears. While washing the style helps clean the wig and revive some of the curls and pattern, heat friendly fibers tend to be more susceptible to friction and frizzing during the process. Limiting the times you wash your wig will improve the longevity.
As said earlier, avoid conditioner on your monofilaments or lace fronts. Conditioner is meant to detangle, and will loosen the hand knotting, which can cause strands to eventually shed from your lace front or monofilament.
Another thing to avoid is brushing the hairpiece when it is still wet. This will stretch the fiber when it is in a compromised state.
Use shampoo and conditioner made specifically for synthetic wigs. This will keep your hairpiece looking their best. Regular shampoos and conditioners have added sulfates, chemicals, and dyes that can damage synthetic and processed human hair. If you want to ensure that you're getting the intended lifespan out of your style, make sure to use the correct products for that hair type.
Lastly, no setting is necessary after you wash the piece; curls will snap back into position when the hairpiece is completely dry. Make sure to store hair similar to the way it is to be worn.
Heat Friendly products are able to withstand a low amount of heat from styling tools. Always be aware of your styling tool's settings and do not go above 280 degrees.
Before you dive in to restyle your heat friendly wig, keep in mind it is extremely difficult to get the original style back. Once you alter the style with heat, it will stay in that style, even if you wash it, it will stay in the style it was heat baked to.
Something to keep in mind is heat styling your heat friendly wig will take longer than styling normal bio hair. When curling the hair, it is recommended to hold the curl in place until the fiber cools. If you let it go right away, the curl will cool in a flat position.
As said earlier, make sure to only use products specifically suited to synthetic hair fiber. We highly suggest using Jon Renau's Heat Defiant Smooth Detangler anytime you are wearing a heat friendly piece. We also recommend using a heat protectant when using heat to style your piece. This will prevent frizzing and will help your ends stay looking their best!
Below we have a video that breaks down what products we recommend and the process that is best for using heating tools for your heat friendly hair. The video goes through straightening the hair and curling it.
Check out our Heat Friendly Care products:
Many people out of habit will put their wig on or even adjust throughout the day using the front lace itself.
You NEVER want to pull on the lace front, as tugging on the lace will lead to tearing or fraying.
Conditioner is meant to de-tangle, and will loosen the hand knotting, which can cause strands to eventually shed from your lace front.
Also, take care not to brush too hard near the lace.
If the wig is too tight or big it will shift throughout the day.
Constant movement will contribute to rubbing and friction.
However, if you would like to cut your lace front further, or if you would like to cut a section that has started to fray you should always use a Pinking Shear.
This also gives your front hairline a softer finish.
(Just make sure to have a professional help with any altering, or experiment on an older style first).
The 6 Things You Need to Know About Washing Your Synthetic Wig
Let's talk wig care! You have been wearing your absolute favorite style… you know, the one you wear to the dentist, the doctors, your date night out, and pretty much everywhere! You start to notice it doesn't have quite as much bounce and vibrancy as it did when you first took it out of the box. I'm guessing, and correct me if I am wrong, there is a chance you haven't washed it in a while. No worries, this is bound to happen with the wig you love and don't want to put down. But now the question now is, where do you start?
Thankfully, washing your wig is a pretty easy process that will leave it looking instantly refreshed and back in action in no time. If you have never washed your wig before, the first couple times through the process might feel a little intimidating, but that is why we are here; to make the process as easy as possible. Your favorite wig is an investment, and one you want to not only take care of, but more importantly, not ruin. Fortunately, we have done our research and come up with our best tips for washing your wig.
To begin, gather the supplies you are going to need.
- An open and clean sink you can easily work around.
- A wide tooth comb.
- Shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for the specific hair fiber you are washing.
- A soft, clean towel
- Wig stand
The essential basics of taking care of your wig
First let's break down the basics. We suggest washing your wig around every six to ten wears depending on your lifestyle. Some people decide they can wait longer to wash their wig and others find they need to wash it sooner. Lifestyle plays a role because if you tend to use more product on your wig then it creates build-up after a while. If you are the active type, then workout routines may result in some sweat building up in the cap of your wig. For synthetic hair, a good wash will not only clean the inside of the cap but, it will also refresh the built-in style or hair pattern.
1. Prep Your Wig
Before you even start the washing process gently brush through your wig, removing any tangles or knots. A wide tooth comb just like this one (Jon Renau - Wide Tooth Comb) is a favorite of ours for brushing all different hair types and textures. Using the correct comb for your piece can be essential to keeping the fibers safe. A wide tooth comb is a great option for most styles!
2. Rinse Your Wig
Place your hand inside the cap, holding the wig at the top. Turn the temperature of the water to lukewarm or cool (make sure it is not too hot) and run it over the entire wig including the cap and all of the hair. You can use your favorite shampoo formulated for synthetic hair. If you do not have one, take a look at some of our customer-approved name brand favorites:
Jon Renau - Fiber Love Shampoo for Synthetic Hair
Brandywine - Shampoo for Synthetic and Human Hair
3. Shampoo Your Wig
Once the hair is wet pour about a quarter size amount of shampoo in your hand to begin. Then slowly lather through the hair, only adding more shampoo as needed. Make sure the hair stays traveling in the same direction. You will also want to avoid excessive rubbing as this can be hard on the fiber and lead to tangling. Once the hair is well shampooed begin to rinse with lukewarm to cool water. As soon as the water runs clean and you are not seeing any suds or left-over soap residue in the hair you can begin the next step.
4. Condition Your Wig
While the wig is still wet you are going to want to apply conditioner. Conditioner is important because it will help protect your wig fiber. Here at Name Brand Wigs/Joshua24, there are two different types of conditioner that you could use. The first is a squeeze-bottle conditioner that you would apply to the wig just as you did with the shampoo. The other option would be a leave-in conditioner which many brands have started to provide.
If you choose the squeeze-bottle conditioner, take a small amount and gently run it through the hair, focusing on the bottom three-quarters of the wig. Make sure to keep the conditioner away from the roots and very top of the wig cap because it can loosen the knotting after a while. Rinse the conditioner out with lukewarm water.
If you choose the leave-in conditioner then you will want to first gently dry the hair with a towel so that it is still damp and not excessively dripping with water. Spritz the hair with a few pumps of conditioner and again, gently being the key word, use your fingertips to make sure it is well distributed. Even with this leave-in conditioner you want to focus on the ends of the hair to about halfway up the hair for longer styles. Remember to be especially careful not to get too much conditioner on the cap when it comes to lace or monofilament tops. Because the conditioner is meant to detangle, it will do just that and eventually loosen the hand tied knots on the cap causing strands to fall out. You do not have to worry about this as much with a traditional cap.
Here are some well loved synthetic fiber conditioners:
Jon Renau - Fiber Love Conditioning Spray
BeautiMark - Leave In Conditioner
5. Dry Your Wig
After washing and conditioning your wig (I bet she is smelling pretty fresh right now!) wrap the hair in a towel to pat off any excess water (do not rub the hair). Now place it on a wig stand and allow it to naturally air dry. If you have a very curly style, you can prop a book up underneath the curls to keep them from stretching and losing their form. This will take some of the tension off the curls as they dry.
6. The Finishing Touch
You are almost there, but we have one more helpful tip for you! Once the hair is dry you can apply some HD Smooth Detangling Spray to your wig and this will give it some extra protection along with keeping those fibers tame. This is highly recommended for heat friendly and mid to longer styles. When spraying it on, focus on the bottom of half of the hairpiece. We suggest using your fingertips or a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute it throughout your style. And there you go, you have made it! Your piece is fresh, vibrant, and ready for days of wear!
Summary of the essentials
Let's re-cap a couple of our most helpful tips:
- Keep in mind when conditioning, avoid the very top of your monofilament or lace front wigs. Conditioner is meant to detangle, and will loosen the hand knotting, which can cause strands to eventually shed from your lace front or monofilament.
- Another thing to avoid is brushing the hairpiece when it is still wet. This will stretch the fiber when it is in a compromised state.
- Always use shampoo and conditioner made specifically for synthetic wigs. This will keep your hairpiece looking its best. Regular shampoos and conditioners have added sulfates, chemicals, and dyes that can damage synthetic and processed human hair. If you want to ensure that you are getting the intended lifespan out of your style, make sure to use the correct products for that hair type.
- Lastly, no setting is necessary after you wash the piece; curls will snap back into position when the hairpiece is completely dry. Make sure to store hair similar to the way it will be worn.

Special Report By Daniel Román
Visitors to the Philadelphia Museum of Art are hopeful to catch a glimpse of more than just their favorite artworks, as a ghostly presence has been spotted in recent weeks roaming the Medieval and Renaissance art section located on the second floor of the museum. Witnesses report seeing a glowing, yellow silhouette of a man fade in and out of visibility in front of various paintings.
Last month witnesses saw an unexplained swarm of butterflies sporadically appear in the museum and cluster around the 1467 altarpiece painting, "Saint Thomas Receiving the Virgin's Belt," by Florentine artist Neri di Bicci. The painting is displayed in the same section where the glowing silhouette has been spotted. The butterfly phenomenon had a calming effect on those who experienced it. Museum security guard, Lavern Williams, 56, reported that on the days she saw the butterflies she was "overcome with bliss, being able to go home and rest with a great sense of peace."
Similar sightings of the glowing figure, albeit with a more menacing tone, were reported back in February at the Church of the Gesù in Rome, Italy, the very same day that abnormal, heavy snowfall surprised the city.
(Chiesa Gesu Facade)
Anna Vaccaro, 44, while praying in the church, had a close encounter with the glowing being and was able to look into its eyes. "He had the most beautiful, blue eyes, like an angel, but filled with so much pain, sadness, hate, and revenge. I was overwhelmed with love and terror; I was paralyzed for those few seconds. This happened over a month ago and I haven't been to church since!"
While repairing leaks in the church, Samuele Bernini, 24, witnessed the figure violently removing things out of a storage closet and then proceeded to reach for him. "It grabbed my head and I couldn't move," Samuele explained, "and I heard a man's angry voice in my mind say he was looking for his unfinished painting. Then it disappeared."
Other strange happenings were reported such as art students inexplicably having their drawings ripped in half when sketching in the church and roses growing from the concrete outside the church's entrance.
There is a legend in Rome of a 14th century painter, specializing in images of Jesus, who resurrected three separate times following three individual murders; one of the killings took place while he painted. It is rumored that drawings by this individual are kept in the Vatican Secret Archives, bearing the signature "Bernardo."
Could the spirit of this "Bernardo" be the phenomena experienced in the church in Rome and the museum in Philadelphia?
The Vatican would not comment on the reports.

(He does not like to be called "Master Woodworker", but I think his work speaks for itself.) His work is in the Smithsonian, White House, and private collections around the world. There is a 2 year waiting list for his work and the rockers are $20,000. All these images are available for sale as prints, specialty gifts such as puzzles, or coffee mugs, and digital downloads as well.

Breast milk delivers beneficial
bacteria from a mother's
gut to her baby's digestive
system, according to a new
Swiss researchers found
the same strains of several
types of beneficial bacteria
in breast milk and in mothers'
and babies' feces. Strains
found in breast milk may
help establish a critical nutritional
balance in the baby's
gut and may be important to
prevent intestinal disorders,
according to the authors of
the study in the Aug. 22 issue
of the journal Environmental
"We are excited to find
out that bacteria can actually
travel from the mother's gut
to her breast milk," Christophe
Lacroix, of the Institute
for Food, Nutrition
and Health in Zurich, said
in a journal news release. "A
healthy community of bacteria
in the gut of both mother
and baby is really important
for baby's gut health and immune
system development,"
he explained.
"We're not sure of the
route the bacteria take from
gut to breast milk but, we
have used culture, isolation,
sequencing and fingerprinting
methods to confirm that
they are definitely the same
strains," Lacroix added.
Further research is needed
to determine how beneficial
bacteria are transferred
through breast milk from
mother to infant. Having
a greater understanding of
how babies acquire a population
of beneficial bacteria
in their digestive system may
lead to the development of
formula milk that is more
like breast milk, the researchers
Breast-feeding may pass good bacteria from mom to baby

Fabric origami business card holder
Stiffen Stuff purchased at Michael's.
After saturating fabric with the liquid, microwave it for 30 - 45 seconds to dry and stiffen it. If it's a bit wrinkled in the microwave, no problem. Just iron it flat, and you end up with a crisp sheet of fabric that stands up by itself. (Also see this post about using Stiffen Stuff.)
follow the steps here. Use an iron to press each crease into the fabric. When the fabric cools, the folds will be fixed in place.
Stiffened fabric will now behave more like paper, so I found it's better to pull the loose threads to the back side and tie them off, rather than backstitching which makes extra puncture holes.
Remove the tape and fold the case back up, giving it a final press with the iron again if needed.
The finished case has some exposed raw edges of fabric, but the starch glues the woven threads together and keeps them from fraying.

We tend to think of heart disease as a problem for the West, probably caused by our stressful lifestyles and diet.
But it's a view that needs a serious reappraisal. Heart disease is accelerating so fast in developing countries that it may soon be seen as a disease 'of the East'.
Heart disease is already the major cause of death in many developing countries, and it is expected to gain a similar status in others fairly soon. Around nine million people died from cardiovascular disease in developing countries in 1990, but this is anticipated to rise to 19 million by 2020.
In China, there has been a doubling of the numbers of heart-related deaths during the past 20 years, especially among the 35-54 years age group, while the prevalence of heart disease in India has increased by a factor of eight in the past 40 years.
Stroke is the major type of cardiovascular disease in China, Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, while coronary heart disease predominates in Latin America, the Middle East and urban India.
So why is it happening? Many factors play a part, but it's principally due to the fact that more and more of these people are taking to a Westernised diet. The other significant factor is that more in the developing countries are starting to smoke (presumably Western-style cigarettes).

Twitter Data Scientist Takes on McDonald's Entire Menu, Survives
Edwin Chen is a data scientist at Twitter who is into sharing the arcane secrets of his dark art, which is a good thing considering that it's probably the fastest growing field in the U.S.
(Below, I've included the whole of an email interview I conducted with Chen, which you might want to skip to if you're looking for a general overview of his work. He reveals, among other things, that he's considered mining Twitter data to see whether or not people eat fast food when they're sad.)
Data science is so new that there are no textbooks on the subject, and no university curricula designed to turn out data scientists. Yet it's integral to everything from quantitative trading on Wall Street to ad targeting on the web and the optimization of real-world supply chains.
Before he was mining terabytes of tweets for insights that could be turned into interactive visualizations, Chen honed his skills studying linguistics and pure mathematics at MIT. That's typically atypical for a data scientist, who have backgrounds in mathematically rigorous disciplines, whatever they are. (At Twitter, for example, all data scientists must have at least a Master's in a related field.)
Here's one of the wackier examples of the versatility of data science, from Chen's own blog. In a post with the rousing title Infinite Mixture Models with Nonparametric Bayes and the Dirichlet Process, Chen delves into the problem of clustering. That is, how do you take a mass of data and sort it into groups of related items? It's a tough problem – how many groups should there be? what are the criteria for sorting them? – and the details of how he tackles it are beyond those who don't have a background in this kind of analysis.
For the rest of us, Chen provides a concrete and accessible example: McDonald's
By dumping the entire menu of McDonald's into his mathemagical sorting box, Chen discovers, for example, that not all McDonald's sauces are created equal. Hot Mustard and Spicy Buffalo do not fall into the same cluster as Creamy Ranch, which has more in common with McDonald's Iced Coffee with Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup than it does with Newman's Own Low Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette.
Other clusters appear, including all the burger-y items, breakfast foods and sugar drinks. So far, not so surprising, until you get to the one cluster on McDonald's menu that contains only one item.
What's so special about McDonald's Fruit & Maple Oatmeal? It's probably its fiber content, relatively (I stress relatively) high levels of nutrients and lower levels of sugar, trans fat and cholesterol.
In other words, when one of Twitter's newest data scientists applies his craft to McDonald's menu, his algorithm automatically extracts the only food on it that any of us should probably even consider eating. Oatmeal: at McDonald's it's truly in a class of its own.
Here's the full interview with Chen:
1. How long have you been a data scientist at Twitter?
I've been at Twitter for about four months.
2. What does a data scientist at Twitter do?
We work on everything from building machine learning models and improving our large-scale data processing frameworks, to creating data visualizations, running statistical analyses, and finding better ways to understand our users and the Twitter graph. There's a lot of variety, and it really depends on each person's skills and interests.
At any given time, for example, I'm likely to be experimenting with new ad targeting algorithms, writing MapReduce jobs to mine terabytes of tweets (using Scalding, our in-house MapReduce language), building interactive visualizations to surface insights in all the data we gather, writing a report to explain some new findings, running an experiment on Mechanical Turk, and lots more.
3. Was your latest post (on clustering) inspired by something you're working on at Twitter (that you can discuss)?
I've been doing some work on clustering our users and advertisers, automatically inferring topic categories in text, and thinking about what we can learn from food on Twitter (for example, do men and women, or San Franciscans and New Yorkers, differ in what they eat? is there any relationship between what people eat and what they tweet, e.g., are people more likely to eat junk food when they're sad?). So while the post wasn't directly inspired by what I'm working on at Twitter, it's definitely related.
4. Data science is a thing now, but (I've been told) the field is "so new" that there are no textbooks or university courses specific to it. Do you agree / disagree?
I agree – but it depends on your definition of data science (which many people disagree on!). For me, data science is a mix of three things: quantitative analysis (for the rigor necessary to understand your data), programming (so that you can process your data and act on your insights), and storytelling (to help others understand what the data means). So useful skills for a data scientist to have could include:
* Statistics, machine learning (on the quantitative analysis side). For example, it's impossible to extract meaning from your data if you don't know how to distinguish your signals from noise. (I'll stress, though, that I believe any kind of strong quantitative ability is fine – my own background was originally in pure math and linguistics, and many of the other folks here come from fields like physics and chemistry. You can always pick up the specific tools you'll need.)
* General programming ability, plus knowledge of specific areas like MapReduce/Hadoop and databases. For example, a common pattern for me is that I'll code a MapReduce job in Scala, do some simple command-line munging on the results, pass the data into Python or R for further analysis, pull from a database to grab some extra fields, and so on, often integrating what I find into some machine learning models in the end.
* Web programming, data visualization (on the storytelling side). For example, I find it extremely useful to be able to throw up a quick web app or dashboard that allows other people (myself included!) to interact with data – when communicating with both technical and non-technical folks, a good data visualization is often a lot more helpful and insightful than an abstract number.
While there aren't many textbooks or courses that cover all three areas (one exception may be Jeff Hammerbacher and Mike Franklin's course at Berkeley: http://datascienc.es/), there are of course resources that cover each skill alone. (Data visualization seems to continue to be an underappreciated skill, though, so classes in that area are more rare.)

Story highlights
Student hit police officer with officer's own baton, university says
University says Cpl. Christopher Carter now on administrative leave
Police: Campus officer said Robert Cameron Redus struggled with him
Friends: Redus was co-valedictorian of Christian high school
Those who know him call him the "gentlest person," but campus police said Monday that a 23-year-old student at a San Antonio-area Christian college took an officer's police baton and struck him before the officer fatally shot him.
There is no dashboard video available, according to the university.
The incident began when Cpl. Christopher Carter, a police officer with the University of the Incarnate Word in Alamo Heights, saw Robert Cameron Redus near campus "driving erratically at a high rate of speed" Friday, a university statement said.
"Carter was obligated to pull the suspect over to ensure the public's safety," the statement said.
Redus pulled into an apartment complex, and Carter followed, mistakenly reporting the wrong street location to police dispatchers, which prompted his call to be routed from the Alamo Heights Police Department to its San Antonio counterparts, the statement said. This caused a delay of several minutes in response time.
"During the wait for assistance, the officer tried to restrain the suspect who repeatedly resisted," the statement said. "During the struggle, the officer attempted to subdue the suspect with his baton. … The baton was taken by the suspect who used it to hit the officer.
"The officer drew his firearm and was able to knock the baton from the suspect who continued to resist arrest. Shots were fired."
Redus did not identify himself, the university said, and there is "no evidence" the officer knew he was a student or where Redus lived.
University police vehicles are typically equipped with dashboard cameras, but Carter's vehicle joined the fleet two days before the incident, and its camera fell off the next day when a temperature change prevented the glue from setting, the school said.
"Officers had made arrangements to have it remounted," the statement said.
Carter, who has "an extensive law enforcement background," has been placed on administrative leave – standard procedure in these types of incidents, a university statement said, adding that all campus officers "are licensed and trained as certified peace officers by the state of Texas."
Friends at the school say the Cameron Redus they know isn't the type to attack police.
They knew a student who made the dean's list at the Catholic college and had been co-valedictorian of a Christian high school back home in Baytown, Texas. They knew a fun-loving campus television news anchor who was "the sweetest, kindest, gentlest person," as friend Annie Jones described him to CNN affiliate WOAI-TV.
A resident of Redus' apartment complex, 22-year-old Mohammad Haidarasl, told the San Antonio Express-News that Redus was his upstairs neighbor.
Haidarasl told the paper he was on his apartment sofa at 2 a.m. when he heard noise outside, and a voice he believes to have been the officer's saying, "Stop resisting, stop resisting."
The newspaper quoted Haidarasl as saying he thought he heard a struggle and "Then the cop said, 'I'm going to shoot.' "
A male voice replied, " 'Oh, you're gonna shoot me?' like sarcastic almost," Haidarasl said.
Less than a minute later, he said, he heard shots.
Alamo Heights police acknowledged the officer fired several shots. But they would not discuss other details of the alleged struggle, citing the ongoing investigation.
The university said it was awaiting the results of the Alamo Heights police probe, which is being conducted with assistance from the Texas Rangers.
Redus' family released a statement to CNN affiliate KENS-TV saying, "We are understandably devastated by the death of our dear son Cameron and we ask for your prayers as we deal with our tragic loss. We trust that God is faithful and will see us through this most difficult time."
University President Lou Agnese said in a statement released to WOAI, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the student and officer involved in this incident."
The university released a statement saying it, too, "is deeply upset over the loss of life regardless of the circumstances." It further said this was the first shooting in university history.
Hundreds of people, including relatives of Redus, gathered at the university's convocation center Saturday for a vigil. Students brought a slideshow of Redus in happy poses.
"It makes me feel better that we've got a lot of support for Cameron," classmate Albert Salinas said outside the event in an interview with CNN affiliate KSAT-TV.
But they left with no better idea of what happened to their friend.

How the Spirit Helps Us to Pray
by John D. Van Meerbeke
Why Pray When You Can Fret Out Loud?
by Allen H. Harris
Every now and then, you may breeze by a familiar passage in the Bible without seriously considering its implications. And then, if you do stop to consider it, the duty sounds so daunting that you feel inadequate and overwhelmed!
"Pray without ceasing"(1 Thess. 5:17)is probably one of those. Never stop praying? How is that even possible? What doesit mean, and why would the Lord command it? By taking a closer look at Paul's directive and seeing its parallels in Scripture, you will see it is an essential part of Christian living.
"Pray without ceasing"is a short imperative, translating just two words in the Greek text, and follows instructions about life in the church: "Be at peace among yourselves.... Admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted.... Always seek to do good to one another" (1 Thess. 5:13–15). Paul then addresses the Thessalonians' inner attitude: "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (5:16–18).
Certainly the Thessalonians would have initially rejoiced in having their sins washed away, but how could they maintain a joyful and thankful demeanor in the midst of the suffering and affliction that they experienced? How could they rejoice always, and give thanks in all circumstances? Without God's help, it would have been impossible! They had to pray.
The Greek word Paul uses here for "prayer" is a broad term, which includes all kinds of expressions before the Lord. It means "prayer" in the widest sense and is the same word Paul uses elsewhere: "Be constant in prayer" (Rom. 12:12), "praying at all times in the Spirit" (Eph. 6:18), and "continue steadfastly in prayer" (Col. 4:2). Paul combines it with a word that means "without intermission" or "incessantly," arriving at our translation, "Pray without ceasing,"or "Pray all kinds of prayers ... incessantly."
Now, my hunch is that many Christians have no idea what that means—but whatever it means, it sure sounds unachievable! I asked a teenager in our church what he thought it means. He replied, "Well, I don't think it means all day long we have to have our heads bowed, hands folded, praying 'Dear God' and ending with 'Amen.' " Of course! The Christians in Thessalonica were ordinary people, who had work to do—which, in fact, Paul commanded them to do faithfully (1 Thess. 4:11). So what could it mean, besides abandoning all our responsibilities and devoting ourselves to a monastic life of prayer? As we use Scripture to interpret Scripture, two ways of understanding this command become clear.
First, it means you never abandon your life of prayer. You never call it quits and say, "Forget it! I'm done praying."You might stop running because it hurts your knees, or stop drinking caffeine because it bothers you, but you must never come to a point in life where you abandon prayer. Rather, we say with David, "I will bless you as long as I live" (Ps. 63:4).
Examples of this are found throughout God's Word. Certainly, when Jesus teaches us to pray for our "daily" bread, he implies that we are to pray daily. The parables of the persistent friend and the persistent widow teach that we are to keep asking God and never give up. Christ's own example—rising early to pray, slipping away to pray, and praying on all occasions—shows us how he prayed without ceasing. Paul's writing shows he lived this out: "I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers" (Eph. 1:16). "We pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face" (1 Thess. 3:10). "We always pray for you" (2 Thess. 1:11).
There are numerous other examples of those who never stop praying. Paul writes about Epaphras, "He is always wrestling in prayer for you" (Col. 4:12 NIV). Samueltells God'speople, "Far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you" (1 Sam. 12:23). Throughout their wilderness journey, Moses prayed to God while the Israelites faced one trial after another, as seen in the battle with the Amalekites, when Aaron and Hur helped him to pray without ceasing (Ex. 17:8–13). And consider Daniel, when it became illegal to pray to anyone other than King Darius. Daniel kept on praying: "He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had previously done" (Dan. 6:10).
Secondly, "Pray without ceasing" means that you are always in an attitude of prayer. Again, Paul does not command you to spend your day with your hands folded and your head bowed, beginning and ending each prayer with a certain formulaic expression. Rather, you delight in the presence of God all day long with all kinds of prayers: praising God, as his attributes come to mind; thanking God for his blessings; confessing your sins, as the Spirit convicts you; and crying out to him: What should I do, Lord? O Lord, watch over my son. Give me wisdom in this next conversation. Lord, guard my tongue. Help me to stay awake. Help me to go to sleep. Change my attitude. Restore my joy. Show me what to do, Lord!
To pray without ceasing means having the Lord in our thoughts all day long. But don't just think about him, wondering, "Is this pleasing to God?" Rather, address him directly: "I need you, Lord!" "Does this please you, Lord?" Acknowledge every day, "You are with me, Lord!"
In essence, this is what it means to "walk humbly with your God" (Mic. 6:8), just as Enoch and Noah walked with him. It means that instead of saying to others before some new undertaking, "Okay, wish me luck," you say to God, "O Lord, help me." Do as Nehemiah did when pressed by King Artaxerxes to explain why he looked so sad: "Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king " (Neh. 2:4–5 niv). Praying without ceasing means always being aware that we are in the presence of the Lord and remembering that "the Lord is near ... to all who call on him in truth" (Ps. 145:18).
Although I'm sure you could come up with more of your own, allow me to suggest some reasons why the Lord commands us to pray without ceasing:
1. This is what brings peace and joy. It's no accident that "rejoice always" is linked to "pray without ceasing" and "give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thess. 5:16–18). Prayerfully remembering God's blessings defeats a grumpy spirit and a nervous heart: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:6–7 NIV).
2. This is how we are called to fight spiritual battles. Paul saw prayer as vitally connected to being clothed with spiritual armor: "Be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" (Eph. 6:18 niv).Samuel Chadwick said, "The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray." Why? Because "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds" (2 Cor. 10:4).
3. This protects us from sin and discouragement. Jesus taught, "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation" (Matt. 26:41).And David said, "I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken" (Ps. 16:8). Disaster comes when we stop praying. John Bunyan picked up on this: "Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer."
4. This helps us to be fruitful Christians.One of the qualities of a productive disciple is that he or she prayerfully meditates on the Word of God day and night (without ceasing). God promises that you will be"like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season" (Ps. 1:3).
5. This leads to godly choices. A practical benefit of praying without ceasing is wisdom in decision making. As the familiar proverb says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths" (Prov. 3:5–6).
6. This keeps us prepared for the Lord's return! Jesus said, "Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning.... Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes" (Luke 12:35, 37). As Peter wrote, "The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers" (1 Peter 4:7).
God designed you to pray without ceasing, every day, all through your life. It's a vitally important means of grace to give you joy and peace through all the seasons of life. He leads you beside quiet waters, restores your soul, and comforts you through dark valleys, as you praise him, thank him, confess your sins, and call on him for help, walking with the risen Savior, Jesus Christ, and abiding in his word.
Perhaps you needed this reminder today. Yes, Lord, I do need to walk with you! I need to pray without ceasing. Help me, Lord, "so I will bless you as long as I live" (Ps. 63:4). And remember the Lord's faithful promise to you: "I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:20).

Lenovo on Monday launched the much-anticipated ThinkPad X300 ultraportable, challenging Apple's MacBook Air as the lightest and thinnest notebook available today.
Weighing started at 2.93 pounds (1.33 kilograms). Lenovo claims ThinkPad X300 is more feature-rich than Apple's 3-pound MacBook Air. Lenovo has included three USB ports and an ultrathin DVD burner, while MacBook Air has only one USB port and no optical drive. With a DVD-RW drive, the X300 weighs 3.13 pounds, Lenovo said.
The laptop measures 0.73 inches (1.85 centimeters) at its thinnest point by 0.92 inches (2.34 cms) at its thickest point, bigger in comparison to MacBook Air, which measures 0.16 inches (0.4 cms) at its thinnest part and 0.76 inches (1.93 cms) at its thickest part.
Targeted at business users and consumers, the laptop uses 25 percent less power than previous ThinkPad models with a 64GB solid-state storage drive for data storage, a 13.3-inch LED-backlit display and use of a lithium-polymer battery, Lenovo said.
The lithium-polymer chemistry provides better battery life than standard lithium-ion batteries found in most laptops today, said Tom Ribble, director of Thinkpad product marketing at Lenovo. The system supports up to 4GB of memory and includes integrated graphics, a digital camera, and wired and wireless networking. It includes both touchpad and trackpoint scrolling capabilities.
The system will come with WiMax capabilities later this year with Intel's updated Centrino platform, according to Lenovo. The buyer may choose that the machine come preloaded either with Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista.
The X300 is powered by Intel's Core 2 Duo SL7100 LV low-voltage chip, operating at 1.2GHz. Like the Core 2 Duo processor specially developed for Apple's MacBook Air, Intel shrunk the SL7100 LV processor to make it 60 percent smaller than standard-sized processors belonging to Intel's Merom family. The chip is manufactured using the 65-nanometer process, like other Merom processors.
Although the size is the same, the SL7100 LV chip consumes less power. It uses 12 watts of power, according to processor details provided by Intel. The Core 2 Duo processor for MacBook Air uses 20 watts of power, while operating at 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz. Fujitsu also uses the SL7100 LV chip in its ultraportable LifeBook P8010 laptop, which started shipping in the U.S. this month.
Lenovo has pumped the latest technology into its laptop that both consumers and business users will appreciate, Ribble said.
Prices for the X300 start at $2,799, and it is available through Lenovo's Web site and through retail partners.

Well, that's not exactly what the exit polls said.
To the question "Should taxes be raised to help cut the budget deficit?" only 33 percent answered "yes" while 63 percent responded "no." Isn't that interesting? But nobody's talking about this exit-poll nugget.
Now, it is true that when the question is asked only about income-tax rates, 13 percent are okay with an increase for all, 47 percent want an increase only on incomes over $250,000, and 35 percent don't want increases for anyone. That's not so surprising. Most people make less than $250,000 a year, and would therefore say, "Well, heck, just tax the rich people."
But even on that point, the margin is only 37 to 45. It's below 50 percent, and not a massive mandate. And when you combine that with the earlier question, where nearly two-thirds don't want to raise taxes at all, you have to ask whether the country isn't a whole lot more divided on these and other questions than President Obama would have us believe.
This is why House Speaker John Boehner's tax-reform idea is so good. He's saying don't raise top-end tax rates, because doing so will damage economic growth and investment incentives. That's exactly what you don't want in a weak 2 percent economy.
Instead, Boehner is proposing a compromise with the president, one that will limit various tax loopholes and deductions both for individuals and corporations, providing more revenue at the same low tax rates. The wealthy will pay more revenues. That's the GOP concession. But it's a pro-growth position and a sensible one. It finds common ground on the revenue question without damaging the economy. And if a deal can be made before year-end, it could open the door to a much larger agreement on tax, spending, and entitlement reform in 2013.
The stock market sure wants a deal that won't crush the economy. Shares fell over 400 points in the first two post-election days. I think of it as stock market vigilantes hammering Washington.
But I think there's an even deeper economic point here. After losing the presidential election, what will Republicans stand for?
On the question of Hispanic immigration, the GOP has to rediscover its soul. It has to return to the party of Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp, which is inclusive and full of opportunities for everybody. Worker ID cards and a path to citizenship must be included in the Republican thinking. Otherwise they're not going to win another presidential election in my lifetime.
Get this: A whopping 65 percent of exit-poll respondents believe illegal immigrants working in the U.S. should be offered a chance to apply for legal status. Only 28 percent favor deportation. Can the Republican party get that through its thick skull?
But on the economy in general, the GOP mustn't go wobbly. It should stick with its free-market economic principles and push to be the party of conservative reform on taxes, spending, entitlements, and various other pro-market solutions.
Yes, Romney lost. But that may have more to do with voters still blaming George W. Bush. By 53 to 38, voters still blame Bush for our economic woes. At least Romney gained a split on handling the economy, 49 to 48 over Obama, in the exits. Romney also had a slight lead on the budget deficit, and the two were about even on unemployment. I call this free-enterprise progress. So at least Romney brought the numbers back to even.
Over time, if the GOP remains the party of free markets, private enterprise, individual initiative, and rewarding success, it will triumph over a Democratic party that favors greater government welfare dependency and income redistribution, and mocks the benefits of successful business.
The past election did not solve this debate. And though he lost, I think Romney helped improve the GOP's economic credibility. But the battle will still be fought.
Again, I say, Republicans must not go wobbly on economic freedom.

text: I've most recently configured a Samba PDC with version 5.10. I followed all of the directions and am 'almost' there. I can successfully login from WinXP using the domain password set via smbpasswd, but when I do, I get the following error, "Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile...", it goes on suggesting that I've got a permission problem. So here's what I know: My smbuser file has the row "root = Administator" and when I log on as an Administrator from winXP it properly locates the server copy placed in /home/samba/profiles/root. My solution. I created a linux user, added the user to samba, verified the new user was a primary member of group users to correlate to permission/group settings of /home/samba/profiles (771). Problem did not go away. Next, I added a new row in smbusers to map the linux user to the winXP user, but to no avail, this didn't work either. The only solution that does work is to map the winXP user to root! Please help! How do I allow each user to have their own profile?

Om 2009 was planned to be the next version of the official Openmoko distribution (in series of OM2007.x, OM2008.x). The latest release of OM2009 is testing5 from June 16th, 2009. After this not much work has been done due to lack of resources; the developers have mostly moved to SHR as there are only very small differences in the distros.
Om 2009 is based on FSO framework and uses Paroli as the telecommunication software. Om 2009 testing5 already has all the features most people need for daily phone usage: SMS, calling, phone book, call log, charging, suspend&resume, wifi gui, audio profiles, etc.
please see Manuals/Om 2009
Using Om 2009
Write your best tips here!!
- Change fullscreen paroli -> illume (settings->display->profile)
- Enable wifi. (settings->wifi->power->active. settings->wifi->scan->'essid')
- Allow ssh over wlan. (nano /etc/default/dropbear. =22)
- If screen goes dim and phone suspends even all things are disabled, use this spell:
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy Display enabled
- To learn to use Paroli, the phone software, go to Paroli#FAQ
- To have log directory that isn't cleared when you reboot, the /var/log symlink needs to be turned into a directory:
rm /var/log mkdir /var/log
- To import vcard -contacts to Paroli, check this
- To change Paroli's background, check Paroli-background
- To prevent suspending when USB plugged in: unplug usb until LED goes out, then plug usb in: you need to keep the device awake by touching the screen until the LED comes back on. (bug: http://trac.freesmartphone.org/ticket/381)
- Austria Configure Om2009
- Czech a starting point is here
Audio quality during call
- Audio quality is good by default for some Freerunners. Some units need a new audio profile:
wget http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/2121/gsmhandset.state.new -O /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state
- More info can be found here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_Freerunner_audio_subsystem
Audio problems
- If you have problems with audio, try this:
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
- If audio works, load this module on boot:
echo "snd-pcm-oss" > /etc/modutils/snd-pcm-oss update-modules
- Problems:
- Allowing the FR to suspend or having the screen blackout while using mplayer will sometimes crash the FR
- Plugging in the headset will stop audio from playing out of the phone's speaker. Audio will not return until the phone is shut off or you receive or make a call
Bugs / missing features
- Screen lock is missing
- currently X screen saver is used during screen blank
- (Paroli) GUI to change ring tones missing
- (Paroli) GUI for Bluetooth missing
- Led indication for missed calls or sms missing
- Battery indicator support for GTA01 broken
- Boot time needs to be reduced to less than 2 minutes
- install udev-static-devices - caveat you lose bind-home
- use readahead to cache python dirs before starting framework and paroli
- use readahead to cache dirs for X
- remove unneeded startup programs ( ie portmap )
- prime GSM during init for paroli's use
- gsm0710muxd: "Modem does not respond to AT commands" #2257
- oeventsd rules ignored FSO #381
- Disabling suspend does not work #2296
Update 2009-08-28: the main developer of OM2009 gave up the development in favour of SHR; OM2009 was lacking manpower to maintain and develop it. The latest unstable images are quite usable though.
When we set the very limited goals of Om 2009 we had two goals in mind:
1. Give those members of the community who only wanted a daily phone, a distro they could use
2. Introduce technology that would allow the community to come together and improve on these basics
Community interaction, open development and user driven decision making are at the core of Om 2009. Going forward this will be an effort with the community for the community. I invite you to join the effort to make Om 2009 with paroli the best Om-labeled distribution for the Freerunner.
How can you help?
Test the distro, let us know about bugs you find, or even fix them and send us patches.
Tell us about your experiences using Om 2009, what should we change, where can we improve?
Paroli has come a long way but it still needs a lot of love and optimizing, so if you are into python or efl, check out the code from git.paroli.org, join #paroli on irc and let's get crackin'. There are lots of things to do, opimd needs to be integrated and improved, the UI needs polishing, overall speed can be increased etc etc
More into Chat and email? Feel like writing a jabber/irc/xxx or email client that really fits the screen? Or do you know of one? Let's hear about it. This device has a lot of potential and we are so close to reaching the far corners, the kernel is in good shape, the framework is doing great and telephony apps such as paroli or the shr suite are steadily improving.
So, get your Freerunner in shape again. Flash it with a nice current distro and let it do what it was meant to do :)
Let's make Om 2009 a community product, something all of us can be proud of and say "we did this".
