SEO is all well and good, but all that does is get someone to your site that first time.
When a visitor comes to your website for the first time, they need to find something that's sufficiently engaging for them to bother to read what's there. However, what's just as important (and maybe even more important) is giving your visitors a reason to come back.
Because if the first-time visitors to your website don't come back again, then you need to have some sort of plan where you achieve a constant flow of first-time visitors.
The problem with people who visit your website for the first time is that, depending on your business, it's unlikely that you'll get much from them. First-timers rarely sign-up for your newsletter, or contact you for more information, because they don't know you. You haven't had the chance thus far to win over their confidence, trust or respect.
Generally-speaking, customers become customers because they have been back to your site many times before they ever decided to buy anything from you. They know your site, the layout, where the interesting (and not-so-interesting) content is. They have spent time digesting the content, and grew to trust your business value communication before they were happy to give you their contact details or credit-card number.
Unless you're in a commoditized industry, you need to get your visitors to keep coming back. And while I'll be the first to admit that there are many exceptions to this rule, I'm betting that your business – and your industry – isn't one of them.
What do you have that'll keep them coming back for more?

Global economic recession drove energy consumption lower in 2009 – the first decline since 1982. As with the economic contraction, the decline in energy consumption was concentrated in OECD countries and the territory of the Former Soviet Union(FSU). Consumption of oil, natural gas and nuclear power declined, while coal consumption was essentially flat; only hydroelectric output and other renewable forms of energy increased in 2009. This data suggests global CO2 emissions from energy use fell for the first time since 1998.

The new transport system has to be invented in the future.
RUF system(Rapid, Urban, Flexible) consists of electric vehicles that can be operated both on the conventional street system and on a rail facility. The vehicles are called "dual-mode" vehicles because of this dual capability. They can be privately owned or owned and operated by the public for use by the general public.
Due to global warming and climate change, the system of environmental filters and screens will be used to help prevent this process. This system can be used in public areas, it will also accumulate sun and wind energy, and at the same time provide shade.
By applying the Bio towers we would reduce the amount of valuable agricultural land used for production of bio-fuel plants, reduce transportation costs and related air pollution. This kind of crop production also has advantages over farming in open spaces, because it's not weather-dependant, and you can create artificial conditions which enhance the plant growth (conditions that can't be achieved in the natural environment). The visual identity of the towers is a symbol and result of their function. Beside the benefits of bio-fuel and oxygen production, we consider their architectural appearance as an added value primarily to the conscience of the city inhabitants.
Daekwon Park created Symbiotic Interlock "to reunite the isolated city blocks and insert a multi-layer network of public space, green space and nodes for the city". It comprises a system of stackable modules that are designed to add an extra layer of infrastructure to existing buildings via sky docks and bridges, vertical gardens, cultural spaces, and energy producing wind turbines.

Diffuser Bracelet
Combining Aromatherapy and Fashion
With all the an explosion of aromatherapy alternatively healing modality, it's wise for there to get new ways to bring your essential oils together with you anywhere you go during the day. Why have a lot of brown glass bottles clanking around in your purse or bag, when you are able make a fashion statement and wear your essential oils within a piece of aromatherapy jewelry?
Lava Necklace Yoga Clothes
Considered an ideal combination of art, style, and scent - aromatherapy jewelry is fast-becoming part of the aromatherapy enthusiast's wardrobe. Listed below are descriptions of three popular types of aromatic jewelry for many styles, tastes and budgets. To the modest, practical, magical, or sophisticated personality, there exists a special little bit of "aroma wear" around for you!
The Lovely Amphora Aromatherapy Necklace
This miniature ceramic replica of the amphora is inspired by language of ancient greece and Roman earthenware storage vessels. It is porous clay on the inside and glazed externally without having lid. It is almost always hung throughout the neck over a cord or ribbon. This petite amphora aromatherapy necklace gets "seasoned" with your personal blend of essential oils inside as well as on the handles. The clay absorbs your selected essences along with the aromas diffuse from your bottle during the day by body heat and evaporation. As soon as the amphora is seasoned, it requires fewer drops of essential oils to "reactivate" its scent. It is recommended use thin (viscosity), clear essential oils with this type of jewelry because clay is normally white and may even discolor with darker, thicker oils. Using pure essential oils within your amphora can soothe how you feel, inspire creativity, boost concentration, help clear your sinuses, and much more. Try rosewood, citrus, lavender, eucalyptus, petitgrain, or mint essential oils with your amphora for a natural, aromatic lift each time to use your aromatherapy necklace!
The Dramatic Aromatherapy Magic Potion Bottle
The aromatherapy pendant, or potion bottle, is generally made from stone or glass. These glass bottles holds a substantial amount of your preferred essential oils or mix of oils and become quite beautiful. Many of these kinds of colorful, aromatherapy necklaces are adorned with beautiful beads, charms, and silver or copper wire work. To take pleasure from your personally selected essences from nature, you just "pop the cork" and only smell / inhale the essential oils or apply your oils in your skin as desired. Aromatherapy pendants might be collected and so are usually one-of-a-kind artistic pieces. These make lovely gifts and may be used for ceremonial purposes and special occasions.
The stunning Aromatherapy Locket
The aromatherapy locket runs on the special "wick system" to diffuse your essential oils. Simply open the locket and apply a drop or two of your selected essential oils on the pad, close the locket, and luxuriate in. Aromatherapy lockets are often crafted beyond silver, gold, bronze, or nickel. Lovely motifs like fairies, Celtic knots, and suns are popular decorations. The lockets could be worn as necklaces, bracelets, or key chains, and so are perfect for those who desire to take advantage of the essences along with want the oils touching your skin layer. The aromatherapy lockets diffuse your oils through openings within the metal. There's no need to open the locket to take pleasure from the healing aromas. Some essentials oils evaporate rather quickly, like citrus and lavender. Other essential oils like sandalwood and ylang ylang lasts a long time before the wick has to be freshened.

Are the Galapagos Being "Regreened?"
Wired does a little tidbit in their latest issue titled Ecuador Regreens the Galápagos. After touring Ecuador with the Rainforest Alliance, I felt that I was so close that I had to see the Galapagos and popped over for a short visit. I wasn't going to write about it because Brian covered it last year and, frankly, I felt really guilty about it. But after seeing this in Wired, I felt I had to.

Something Splendid
Jonno and I attended a great Typecon workshop this year - Experimental Type.
It was run by three great gals:
Michelle Bowers - http://www.michellebowers.com
Amelia Irwin & Nicole - http://www.hot-sundae.com
It was equal parts Kindergarten Art Class & Design School. The gals were encouraging us to just grab some materials and be inspired by random play.
This is what I came up with on the day. Since I'm such an uptight bastard, I couldn't work without a plan and an objective. I had planned out my final outcome within the first hour. I'm happy with the final result but feel like I might have cheated somewhat - there were so many other really great pieces by the other 'students' that felt much less laboured.

E.g. the TDL model theory >was much closer to the pair of a datatype and a string found in the >conceptual model. The breadth of this gap fails (IMO) our principle charter >goal of clarity. I want to know what this 'conceptual model' is supposed to be, what the overall rules are for defining 'conceptual models', and how will we know when we have it right, and how in Gods name are we going to find the time to produce an entirely new kind of "model" of RDF at this stage of the game. > >As for non-monotonicity the datatyping conceptual layer that we are >discussing is non-monotonic in its own right. The MT is not monotonic, and the entailment defined by it is monotonic. So I don't really give a damn whether the 'conceptual layer' is monotonic or not, since I doubt if that precise kind of langauge even applies to such an illdefined notion. >e.g. > ><Jane> <age> "25" . > >delivers the unicode string "25", i.e. <xsd:string,"25">. > ><film> <title> "25" . > >similarly delivers <xsd:string,"25">. > >At this datatyping conceptual level > ><Jane> <age> "25" . ><film> <title> "25" . > >allows us to conclude that Jane's age and the film's title are the same. If these triples are true, they are the same. Period. No amount of subsequent additions of datatyping information can alter that. (That is, assuming that <age> means age. Of course, we are free to interpret <age> to mean 'the relation which holds between a person and the numeral representing their numerical age'. ) > >Then we add the range constraint on <title> > ><Jane> <age> "25" . ><film> <title> "25" . ><title> <range> <xsd:string> . > >I take it that the range constraint changes nothing, we are still having the >value ><xsd:string,"25"> delivered in both cases, and so we are still concluding >that Jane's age and the film's title are the same. Right. > >Now we add the range constraint on <age> > ><Jane> <age> "25" . ><film> <title> "25" . ><title> <range> <xsd:string> . ><age> <range> <xsd:integer> . > >We now have the film's title delivered as <xsd:string,"25"> the woman's age >delivered as <xsd:integer,"25"> and they are different. And that is now INCONSISTENT in a datatyped intepretation, ie there is NO such datatyped interpretation. You have now violated the semantic conditions on datatyping. So there is no revision, or defeasable reasoning, or nonmonotonicity. I know you don't like this, but this is what the current MT says, so (1) get used to it and (2) don't say that it is nonmonotonic. It isn't nonmonotonic. >Hence we see defeasible reasoning: in the light of new information we revise >our knowledge that Jane's age is <xsd:string,"25">, which in turn causes us >to revise our conclusion that Jane's age and the film's title are the same. No, that is still entailed. ANYTHING is entailed by a contradiction. If you can express the idea that they are not the same, that is entailed also. Contradictions are like that. > >This is non-mononotonic, and the WG cannot escape that by simply saying that >it is not in the MT. Yes, it can! That is exactly what it does say. The MT tells you what conclusions to draw. If you insist on drawing different ones, then YOU are the one with the problem. >The only escape route is to acknowledge that in the >absence of type information, the datatype is unknown (e.g. xsd:anyType or >maybe xsd:anySimpleType). If we stay aware that > <xsd:anyType,"25"> != <xsd:anyType,"25"> >because anyType does define a mapping, then the problem begins to disappear. There is no problem, but even if there were, having things that do not equal themselves sounds like a far worse problem. > >Unfortunately this is bringing untidiness back into the datatyping layer. We >now are reading > ><Jane> <age> "25" . > >not as 'Jane's age is "25"' but as 'Jane's age can be written as "25"'. Well, you can read it that way by re-interpreting <age> to mean "age can be written as". This kind of reading is always open to you. The rdfd:range datatyping will still work OK, though now you ought to interpret <age> as (eg) "age when written as an xsd:integer would be".

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Santa Clara men's golfer Scott Travers, who will be a sophomore this fall, shot a 153 over two rounds at the U.S. Amateur Tournament Championship this week at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. After carding a 77 on day one, he posted a 76 in his second round to tie for 161st place in the prestigious tournament.
Travers put together two solid rounds at the tournament, but he could not quite make enough puts to reach the match play stages of the tournament. At +13 he missed the cut by six strokes in his first appearance in the tournament. The Trabuco Canyon, Calif. native was one of five players from the Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach, Calif. to become eligible for the tournament, scoring a 146 in the 36-hole qualifying tournament earlier this month.
The US Amateur is the oldest USGA championship, and was originally played at the Newport Golf Club in Rhode Island in 1895.
He is the second Bronco in the last two years to participate in the event. Jong Yoon represented Santa Clara in last year's championship held at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. Yoon had a strong tournament, but fell one stroke short of the cut after the first two rounds.
The Broncos men's golf season begins on Sept. 10 at the Saint Mary's Invitational in Livermore, Calif.

The ECB directly supervises the significant banks in the euro area. To do so, we work together with the national supervisory authorities within the Single Supervisory Mechanism.
The less-significant banks are supervised by the national supervisory authorities while the ECB ensures a consistent approach across Europe.
Our objectives
Working together under the Single Supervisory Mechanism, the ECB and the national supervisors aim to
- ensure the safety and soundness of the European banking system
- increase financial integration and stability in Europe
- ensure consistent supervision
Microprudential tools
Microprudential tools concentrate on challenging and testing the risks of individual banks. In this way, they contribute to a safe banking system in Europe.
The ECB has the power to:
- carry out supervisory reviews, including stress tests
- conduct on-site inspections and investigations
- grant or withdraw banking licences
- authorise banks' acquisitions of qualifying holdings
- ensure compliance with EU prudential rules
- set higher capital requirements ("buffers") in order to counter any financial risks
- impose corrective measures and sanctions
Macroprudential tools
Macroprudential supervision refers to the overall approach taken to ensure the stability of Europe's financial system by limiting the build-up of aggregate risk within the system.
The ECB can:
- apply higher requirements for banks, such as counter-cyclical buffers
- comment and object to measures by national authorities

Orlando Bloom has been appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
The Hollywood actor was given the title today (12.10.09) by the United Nations Children's Fund in recognition of his work and commitment to the rights of children around the world.
He said: "I look forward to working with UNICEF as they continue to make the world a better place for children.
"UNICEF doesn't just deliver humanitarian aid, which is what they are known for all over the world. They also educate and provide tools which help women and children face challenges specific to their own lives. I responded to how UNICEF works as much as I did to the work itself. I look forward to learning more and to supporting UNICEF anyway I can."
The 32-year-old actor has worked with the organisation since 2007, when he travelled with them to visit schools in poor areas of Nepal. He returned to the area in 2008 to monitor what work was being done to improve the cleanliness of drinking water in the region.
Orlando joins a host of other celebrities in his new role, including soccer star David Beckham, singer Shakira, actor Sir Roger Moore and actresses Mia Farrow and Vanessa Redgrave.
UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman said: "Advocacy from UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors helps build momentum to improve the lives of children around the world. We are proud to have Orlando Bloom as one of the strong voices for vulnerable children."
As an ambassador of the organisation, Orlando will continue to promote UNICEF's work and influence global policy on behalf of children around the world.

Chocolate City Trailer: All the Sweet, Chocolaty Goodness Magic Mike Is Missing
Yes, there's a Ginuwine cameo!
Magic Mike was great for many reasons, one being that it finally acknowledged that women like to go to the movies and shamelessly lust after who's onscreen, too. (Thank you, again!) But it wasn't perfect, and had a severe lack of black male strippers working the pole. Luckily, we now have the trailer for Chocolate City, Jean-Claude La Marre's very necessary "black version" of Magic Mike. It stars Robert Ri'chard as a guy struggling to make ends meet with his mom (Vivica A. Fox), who does what anyone desperate for some fast cash would do: sign up for amateur night! Michael Jai White recruits him for his strip club (DJ-ed by Carmen Electra, sure), and it's there that "Sexy Chocolate" is born. Tyson Beckford's abs are also involved, and so is a Ginuwine cameo! Your move, Magic Mike XXL.

Photo 1: Goldenrod Spider "Flower Spider" "Red-spotted Crab Spider Misumena vatia; Male on top of female who has Spring azure Blue Butterfly Celastrina sp. in grasp
Karl Foord, UMN Extension Educator
While photographing lilies for the article "Lilies - One of the Queens of the Garden," I came upon a blue butterfly (perhaps a Spring Azure Celastrina sp.). I was hoping to photograph it when it had opened its wings. I slowly drew closer only to realize that it was not to open its wings again. It was in the grasp of a flower spider (perhaps a Goldenrod Spider or "Red-spotted Crab Spider" Misumena vatia).
A smaller spider perhaps a male of the species jumped on top of the other spider and then fled. I would expect this was a wise thing to do. This spider was particularly well camouflaged on this Lilium 'Heart's Desire' Asiatic Lily. Flowers are beautiful, nutritious and dangerous, depending on your point of view.

Robocalls: They're not just for telemarketers and political campaign staffers anymore.
Miami-Dade county officials are using automated phone-calls to pester business owners who post advertisements illegally along the city's main roads, The Miami Herald reports.
In Florida, officials have said the calls combat a proliferation of illegally posted signs for "Cheap Houses" and "Bankruptcy Relief" that serves to remind tourists of the state's struggling economy.
Signs on public property like highway medians or telephone poles are illegal in many Florida communities. But officials often need a subpoena to trace a phone number on a sign and track down its creator. So they've instead programmed computers to call violators every 45 minutes during business hours and leave pre-recorded messages that alert them of the offense, according to the Herald.
The only way for an adverstiser to stop the automated calls is to contact the city, which matches the phone number with an address and issues citations for the illegal signs, the Herald reports. "I'm not chasing them," one building code official told the newspaper. "They're coming to me."
Other states have begun cracking down on illegally placed ads, though local business groups have pushed back against stricter sign ordinances, alleging that they hurt small businesses' ability to advertise their services.
The robocalls have been so successful in Florida that city officials said they've seen a 90 percent reduction of signs in some areas, according to the Associated Press. Fines reportedly range from $75 to $250 depending on how many violations a company has committed.
"It's the only crime I know where a person deliberately leaves their phone number behind," Hollywood, Fl. Mayor Peter Bober told the New York Times in June. "They want us to call. So let's call. And keep calling."

"The global automotive safety system industry generates a total revenue of $25.6 billion annually." says Scott J. Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing, "The global automotive market will be driven by demand for lighter cars with more advanced safety features. I am forecasting a 4% to 5.5% growth rate over the next five years with stronger then expected demand coming from the BRIC countries."
"This safety invention takes safety as its utmost priority and is one of the most important automotive tools to be made." says Cattya Bella, Director of Product Development for World Patent Marketing, "Children's safety should be the focus and priority of any parent or guardian and the Cry Baby is a gadget that reminds them of this task. This invention can and will prevent problems that should be avoided."
One of the most important tips for adults and guardians is that their reliable car should be equipped with child safety precautions. Even if they don't have kids yet, they may in the future. The Cry Baby is a safety invention that notifies the driver that a baby is still in the backseat of the vehicle. It does this automatically so that the driver will never forget their kid that is riding in the backseat. Best of all, this self-testing alarm is added as a car addition and is a standalone item. This means that owners of older vehicles can still have this alarm installed if need be.
"This is a safety invention that aims to keep your baby safe no matter what." says inventor Norma D. "There has been a lot of cases of infant death due to forgetful and negligent parents or guardians. The distracted driver will often get out of the car and forget all about the baby riding in the backseat. The baby or child is then trapped in a difficult-to-remove strap inside the vehicle. This will never happen with the Cry Baby, as it will always notify the driver automatically. The best thing about this item is that it is very much affordable so there is no reason for anyone not to have them installed."
Theresa White, a mother and blogger from Oakland, CA, has this to say about the Cry Baby: "Being a busy parent, there are many times where your head is very cluttered and distracted. Even though the baby's safety and well-being is our number one priority, there will always be lapses in judgment. However, a small mistake can prove to be fatal. Fortunately, the Cry Baby is a safety invention that reminds you especially during those short lapses when you are distracted that your baby will always be safe no matter what."
The Cry Baby keeps every child safe whenever they ride a vehicle. World Patent Marketing is spearheading the move to have this safety invention added to every vehicle to ensure child safety.

Here are the supplies that I pulled for my August layouts.
I used an older collection by Fancy Pants called Be You.
I also pulled various stamps, inks, and embellishments.
Here is the first layout for August.
This layout captures time with friends, getting ready for school, birthday, and a date night.
For my August month card, I used a month cut from the Silhouette online store. I used some patterned paper from the Fancy Pants collection.
I embellished with a Heidi Swapp banner and arrow that I colored with ink.
The yellow memories captured is a stamp from Elle's Studio.
Here is second layout for August.
This layout captured back to school, walks, time with friends, and fishing adventures.
I love using stamps on my project life layouts.
I used an embellishment from Elle's Studio below and just added a stamp from Kaisercraft.
For this picture, I cut some of the Fancy Pants patterned paper, stamped the You & Me stamp and then added the quote below it.
The patterned paper below already had the pink "heart" you printed, but you could easily re-create this look with paper and a stamp.
I have been including a smaller photo pocket insert in each month, filled with fun "extra" pictures.
I love adding washi tape to the binding for some extra color.
The last two cards for August went into the next layout/page, hence the photo of only two pictures.
The selfie picture was me capturing the fact that I found grey hair and had to go get highlights!!
The last picture captured my husband filling up our bird feeders in the backyard - something he enjoyed doing all summer.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
If you have any questions about the layouts, please let me know.
See you soon with my September layouts.
Hugs, Shelly

Review: 'A greedy man in a hungry world' by Jay Rayner
Here's a thing: that Jay Rayner, yes, him off the telly, the scary one who can close a restaurant with a swish of his pen? He's actually really nice. I've chatted a bit with him recently about his new book, and he actually cares what I think. He cares about food: not just posh restaurant food, but the everyday stuff that goes in our trolley. He doesn't eat foie gras for breakfast. Who knew?
This book is probably the hardest I've ever read. I read it twice (sorry, Jay, I lied when I said I wasn't finished), not because it's full of big, complicated words or anything, no, it's actually very funny and incredibly entertaining (wait 'til you get to the big wooden willy bit). Jay – I feel like we're on first name terms now – is self-deprecating (almost cringingly so on occasion) and honest and it's very interesting. It's just hard because there are facts in it that made me question everything I currently believe about food, how I buy my food and where it comes from.
The book will take you on a journey from 1960s Kenton (where people like his mother spent half a day a week and probably a third of the family's weekly income food shopping), through heart-breaking Rwanda, where children are starving in a fertile, but overpopulated land, to today's supermarkets where 1 or 2p added to the price (and less BOGOFF deals) could make a massive difference to this country's farmers. It will introduce you to terms such as 'sustainable intensification', 'virtual hectares' and 'gastronomics', and make you really scratch your head over GM foods and food miles.
This book is basically about feeding a burgeoning population. It's about why sometimes, buying local isn't, environmentally and economically, always the best option, and about why farming on a huge scale can be a good thing. This, of course, has upset everyone who believes that small-scale and local is best and I understand that, I really do. But (to totally oversimplify things) take Jay's example of potatoes. In Norfolk, with its peat-rich, loose soil, farmers can yield about 20 tonnes of potatoes per acre. But in London, with its hard, clay soil, they'd get more like 16 tonnes an acre. So in order to match Norfolk, London farmers would need much more fertiliser, or more land, or something. And all of this would impact on the carbon footprint of those potatoes. This, I understand.
I learned so much too. I know that China is buying up vast tranches of agricultural land in Africa to safeguard their future, and that biofuels are really, really bad. I know that in Britain we slaughter between 150,000 and 160,000 pigs a week (oh, the slaughterhouse bit, just… bloody hell) and why farmers' markets, whilst I love them, will only ever be a luxury.
The trouble is, there are several quite complicated elements of the story to understand here, and I'm just not sure I have the mental capacity to understand them all (and no, I'm not participating in any foolish Silly Me Syndrome 'gosh I'm blonde I am' thing here, I just honestly believe that some of it went over my head).
I've made decisions after reading this book. I've resolved to buy only what I need, avoid BOGOFFs like the plague, to cut down on my meat purchases and to pay proper prices for things like milk. After I'd finished the book, I tried to explain it to my husband. But like all immensely clever writers, Rayner is practically un précis-able (yes it's a real word because I said so). Which is a good thing, because if you care about food, and about how we're going to carry on feeding ourselves, our children, and their children, the one thing you absolutely must do is read this book for yourself.

Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954) & Diego Rivera (1886 - 1957)
They met in 1928, got married in 1929, hardly lived happily ever after in the Blue House. He was twenty one older than Frida and cheated on him but still they couldn't split. They tried for a year or so and got back together in spite of their mutual infidelities. Frida used to say she went through two big crushes: the bus and Diego. They were such a wild match, passionate, chauvinistic, we can tell by the photos. Unfortunately Frida couldn't give birth, as it shows in her paintings. Till the 80s, she was just a muse hidden by the great Mexican artist but thanks to the feminists, her work came out.Their work tell about their story all along so that the viewers turn into witnesses.People are so much drawn to artistic matches because the everyday life seems just blown away by creation. And to others' stories they would never have the courage to live.

Liturgical play-by-play for Houston viewers
Cardinal Foley to describe order of worship during Wednesday Mass
In his role as the televised English-speaking voice of Midnight Mass and other major holiday services from the Vatican, it was Cardinal John Patrick Foley's job for more than 20 years to translate the pope's remarks from Latin or Italian into English.
The Philadelphia native speaks both languages, so he was well-equipped for the job. He also was provided a transcript of the pontiff's prepared remarks, which helped.
Alas, the late Pope John Paul II liked to wing it, departing on occasion from his prepared text.
"The late Holy Father John Paul II would ad lib every Good Friday," Foley said in a telephone conversation from Rome. "So as we recalled the suffering of Jesus, we would have some of our own to get through."
That shouldn't be a problem on Foley's next liturgical play-by-play assignment.
Alongside KTRK (Channel 13) anchors Tom Koch and Ilona Carson, he will describe to Houston TV viewers the order of worship during Wednesday's Mass dedicating the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston's new Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.
"One of the advantages of doing this particular Mass is that it will be almost all in English," he said. "So this will be a little easier."
But at three hours, the consecration will be longer than the usual Mass.
"There are a lot of anointings," he said of the dedication service. "They will anoint the altar where the sacrifice of the Mass will be celebrated. They anoint the walls as well. Even though we call people together the body of Christ, ... the physical church in some ways represents the body of Christ. It is a sacred place, and we do these things to underline the sacred nature of the place."
While part of his job will be to inform and entertain viewers, he has another charge as well.
"The important thing is to help people realize these are actions in honor of God and that we are all children of God," he said. "For that reason, we should give him honor and praise. These ceremonies are intended to lift our hearts and minds to God and to help us recognize our obligations to our brothers and sisters in the Lord."
Foley was invited two years ago by Joseph Fiorenza, then archbishop of Galveston-Houston, to participate in the TV broadcast of the co-cathedral's dedication.
At the time, Foley was president of the Catholic Church's Pontifical Council for Social Communications. Since then, however, his job description has changed dramatically.
In June, he was named Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a Catholic order of knighthood organized in the 11th century to defend the holy places in Palestine.
Its current mission, Foley said, is to support the 70,000 or so Catholics who live in Israel and the Middle East.
And in October, Foley was one of two U.S.-born clerics named cardinals by Pope Benedict XVI. The other was Daniel DiNardo of the Galveston-Houston archdiocese.
"I was told that I didn't have to come, since they assumed I was occupied," Foley said. "But I had made the commitment, and I want to be there for the event. Also, I have great respect for (Fiorenza) and for Cardinal DiNardo, since he and I are sort of classmates."

ZipCall offers two services; free international calls and free conference calls
ZipCall lets you use your free minutes to make international calls to the USA, Canada & China
If you have free calls to UK landlines included in your plan, then dial 0333 232 3232 to make your calls,and enter the full international number when prompted.
That's it – free calls to the USA, Canada & China
ZipCall Conference lets you use your free minutes to make conference calls
Just register for your conference code & PIN and send the conference details to your participants.Everyone just dials in at the meeting time & is connected.
That's it – talk together at no cost
We created ZipCall to provide simple, straightforward, free to use communications products that enable our customers to speak and collaborate without restrictions.
When we launched our first international calls product twelve years ago, a really cheap call to the USA was 5p/min.
Since then, fast internet, the smartphone and mobile data have come along, and it's now pretty easy to make free international calls. But until now there has always been a catch: whether it's patchy data coverage, poor line quality or needing to have both parties sitting in front of their computer, there was always something in the way of making it a great experience.
We knew we build something better.
Because we are an official UK registered telecom provider, we receive "interconnect" fees (that the customer doesn't pay but is what telecom companies pay each other for connecting calls). Despite interconnect fees being really low, because we buy international minutes at very high volume, we can route calls to certain destinations and still make money. This means that we can viably offer customers completely free international calls.
With ZipCall, we have strived to create something fiendishly simple, something that you will want to tell your friends about, and something that will grow rapidly and enable us to offer free calls to more and more countries.
Free calls to the USA, Canada & China is the start, but we'll be adding more and more countries as soon as we can. Keep in touch for updates.
Conference calling is a great business tool, enabling teams to collaborate and deals to get done, but until now we haven't found a provider that delivers a great service.
Other providers may offer free accounts, but then charge all your callers a premium for calling their expensive access number. These hidden fees that pass the cost onto your callers reflect badly on your business.
We created ZipCall Conference to offer instant setup, completely unlimited conference calling, completely free of charge, using access numbers that are included in free mintes. We love it so much we use it ourselves everyday!
Ditch your old provider and get started with ZipCall Conference today – all you need to register is your email address.
Customers drive our innovation, so please get in touch with any suggestions or queries and we'll be delighted to assist.
email@example.com or tweet us @zipcall
Got a question, or want to find out when we are launching new countries?

This was our first trip to France and I just loved it. Party consisted of Grandparents, son, wife & kids x 2.The house was beautiful, well furnished, clean and very comfortable The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of everything even when we got together with my others son's family of 4, total of 10 people. There were plenty of facilities - sun loungers, BBQ equipment, beach towels, games, books and the godsend of all, a dishwasher! The beds were comfortable and the linen clean with plenty of bedding and lots of coat hangers. The house was next to a working farm whose workers waved and greeted us most days. The peace and quiet was much appreciated. The instructions and directions were easy to follow. Tony the owner was very chatty and informative and has a clear love for the place. The only drawback were the flies which I believe are an intermittent problem. It is easy to get to the beautiful Biarritz coast, it took us about 50-60 minutes. The Pyrenees were just as spectacular and slightly further. We were lucky enough to catch a magnificent firework display in neighbouring Navarenx on our last night which seemed a fitting end to a lovely holiday. Just wished we could have stayed longer
It is a renovated house with all the comforts. Ideal for families with young children.
The place is very quiet and peaceful.
Friendly neighbours.

CROWN POINT, Ind. -- Jurors today convicted a Gary man of bludgeoning his mother to death with a hammer.Lake County deputy Prosecutor Robert Neary said Rasson Roby, 34, struck his 59-year-old mother, Arlena Roby, a minimum of 18 to 24 times with a hammer.
A Lake Criminal Court jury found Roby guilty of voluntary manslaughter in his mother's February 2007 death. He was initially charged with murder, but the judge gave jurors the option of convicting him of the lesser charge.
Judge Diane Boswell banned Roby from his trial because he had been disruptive earlier, and he did not take the stand.

This came through my inbox via Naked Capitalism this morning and I could not pass up the opportunity to share. It is a must read as so many of the conservative persuasion decry the loss of liberty (religious liberty in particular), while they fail to see the real reasons for this loss. We think the loss of liberty is the result of moral dissolution and we rail against the beast with an indignation of superiority. But every instance of what are claimed to be the moral failures of our society is given a narrative of prejudice that is carefully orchestrated to divide. Division renders our population powerless. And every divisive narrative that we embrace is another nail in the coffin of our democracy, another brick in the wall of our growing fascist corporate state.

The perpetual struggle between democracy and oligarchy … a concise history of neoliberalism
This video recording of Tony Benn talking about the entrenchment of neoliberalism in Great Britain should resonate loudly with the history of neoliberalism in the United States since the 1970s. (Thanks to our friends at Naked Capitalism.) The challenge we face is not abortion or gay marriage. Those are two moral issues masterfully manipulated by the powers to keep our society divided and distracted. If you don't think this is true, then you have to ask yourself, why do we virtually ignore the commandments against coveting, stealing (corporations and businesses), and lying (our beloved politicians), in order to obsess about the commandments prohibiting murder and sexual infidelity? The challenge we face as a society is the age old struggle against power, concentrated in the hands of a few because of their wealth, whose self-understood mission is to control policies to enrich themselves rather than improve the lives of the workers who make their wealth possible. As Benn points out, the model of work as slavery (in all its forms, including oppressive wage exploitation) persisted throughout human history until the early nineteenth century. Just let that sink in for a moment. It wasn't until the workers started banding together that their lot began to change. There have been slave rebellions throughout history. Always brutally and unflinchingly put down in order to preserve the "order" of society as it was envisioned by the wealthy few. Now, in our time, we face the same struggle. What the wealthy powerful don't understand is that we don't want to eliminate them. We only want what is fair. Fair. That's another word that is manipulated in the social and political discourse. "Life isn't fair," is one of the primary neoliberal rules that's intended to keep the masses on their heels and noses to the grindstone. But the concept of economic fairness is biblical, and it is as American as the constitution. Read it for yourself. It's there. We've just been conditioned by the neoliberal rule to no longer see it and to no longer expect it. It's time to come together and fight, not to eliminate the wealthy powerful, but to demand and take our own share of power through standing together (against all the wedge-issue prophecies of the neo-liberal god), and to demand and take our fair share of wealth in an economy that works for all.
A wild-haired Jew preaching to present-day conservatives who themselves claim to follow a first-century Jew, but their actions suggest otherwise
This was posted on the Sanders for President Reddit page. It's the response of a former Liberty University student, a conservative Evangelical who was reminded by Sanders what his religion, what his Savior, had to say about the way we should treat the poor.
"So here's the interesting thing. When I was watching Bernie Sanders talk at Liberty University, I was just really shocked, and something kind of magical happened for me, because as I watched that guy stand up on that stage, here's what I saw. I saw a wild-haired Jew crying out in a hoarse voice, in a very forceful and forth-speaking way, he was convicting the Christian leaders and religious leaders in that University and calling us out for being complicit in the abandonment of those who suffer: 'The least of these.' And siding with the powerful and the rich and the masters of this world. And he was convicting us, and calling us out. And we scorned him, and we stared him down, and with sour faces we thought, 'Who is this whacko? And why do all these people seem to follow him, seem to like him? This wild-haired Jew, crying out from the wilderness of the political Left, in his hoarse voice?'"
An internal discussion among the IMF staff regarding income inequality
Staff members of the International Monetary Fund organization just published a document for debate regarding the global scope of income inequality. And while I dislike the phrase "income inequality" and prefer the phrase "opportunity inequality", the document makes important points about what is probably the most serious issue of our times. The disclaimer at the beginning of the document warns against associating the findings of this paper with the IMF and that the paper should be taken as the views of its authors. That's fine. It presents a lot of facts for serious consideration. The one overarching fact is that paying people more in real wages, rather than exploiting the working poor and gutting the middle class, makes for an environment that allows the economy to work for everyone, not just a privileged few. It's worth the read.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Returning to Conan Franchise
Sorry, Jason Momoa.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is going back to barbarian basics: Deadline reports that the actor has signed on to reprise his title character from 1982's Conan the Barbarian, reducing last year's Jason Momoa–toplined reboot to a mere blip. Universal is shooting for a summer 2014 release date for The Legend of Conan, though the studio is still searching for a director, writer, and loincloth.

This juice is really helping my energy levels. Ive lost and gained weight a 100 times over the years and im big into strength training and running so i know my body. The juice is def helping with the energy levels!!!!!!
So this is a good way for people who dont like veggies to get them.
I drink the juice along with my lean meats for most my nutrition.
I know some people are totally against meat. But imo you cant go wrong with nuts, fruits, veggies, and lean meats. Unmodified If it grows, swims, flys or walks its ok.edit on 22-2-2013 by hellbjorn012 because: (no reason given)edit on 22-2-2013 by hellbjorn012 because: (no reason given)edit on 22-2-2013 by hellbjorn012 because: (no reason given)

Carrots have sugar in them too but they will increase your energy throughout the day, not just a two or three hour effect like coffee.
Thanks im gonna give that a try today for my last juice. I got some limes.
Yes you are obese according to medical standards you could use to lose 15lbs or so, and also you seemed to be stress, so why don't you relax more and stop worrying about others.

That number seems almost unimaginable, until you go to the grocery store, or the superstore of your choosing (walmart, target...ect) and look around at all of the people. One can easily see that a frightening number of people are not close to a reasonable weight.
Personally, its shocking.
How can this happen? Is it cultural? Geographical? Genetic? Socioeconomic? Evolutionary? There are a list of reasons that go on a country mile, but I'm not buying it. The main reason...drum roll please...is LAZINESS
There is no good reason that an adult in America today can't be at a reasonable weight.(yes, i understand there can be extenuating circumstances) Its about time overweight people start taking responsibility for themselves and stop blaming this that and the other thing. Its time to get off the sofa and drop that gut. Even a minimal amount of light physical activity can have profound effects on the human body! Its remarkable how easily the body can lose weight.
Dont believe me? Well i was in the same boat as many Americans not so long ago, just over a year. 6' and over 300lbs because i was just plain lazy. Junk food, tv and sodas. Now I'm 220, stronger, more muscular, more fit, more endurance than ever.
But according to some height/weight charts, I would be considered obese, which certainly is not the case.
So what gives? I would love to hear some intelligent insight on this subject matter!
mods, move if needed

- Teaching since:
- January 2003
Andrew is a graduate of Musicians Institute College of Contemporary Music in Hollywood, California with a degree in drum/percussion performance. There he had the opportunity to study with drum book authors: Ed Roscetti, Chuck Silverman and Gary Hess, as well as World Snare Drum Champion: Rob Carson.
He first began his drum studies at age 10; playing percussion in school and at 17 began performing and recording drums professionally. He spent a great deal of his time working with local artists in Philadelphia and Manhattan and touring the northeastern states. During his time in Los Angeles he performed in cover bands, jazz/Latin groups and for dozens of independent artists. He also had the privilege to work with some well know artists, such as Scott Shriner of Weezer, Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, and The Blue Man Group.
Teaching drums is just as much a passion of his as is drum performance and recording. In 2005 he was hired as the drum instructor at Los Angeles City College. Since then, he has authored three different drum books and has taught music at Southern California Music School, Alhambra School of Music, Pasadena City College, LA Valley College, LA Academy and several other institutions.
Andrew was awarded Teacher of the Year 2007/2008 at Southern California Music School. He also received Best Drummer Award at the Emergenza's Battle of the Bands contest in 2005. Under Andrew's instruction, Carver Middle School was also awarded 1st place during the NVISION Battle of the Bands contest in 2010.
*** Lesson Details ***
My goal for the first lesson, is to have my student perform a simple beat along to one of their favorite songs. I have learned to speak the language of my students. I always find a way to help them understand the mechanics of playing drums. I get very excited over good music, interesting drum concepts or beats. I am patient and encouraging. I give my students praise for every accomplishment. I believe that anyone can become a great drummer.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Rehearsal Studio with seating for parents.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide the learning material, I expect the student to have their own drums/equipment.
*** Specialties ***
I teach reading and writing music notation as well as to play by ear. I specialize in Jazz, Rock, Blues, Country, Metal, and Latin styles. I know heel-up, heel-down, and heel-toe bass drum pedal technique. I also specialize in rudimental drumming.

Andrew is awesome! In just 3 lessons my son loves the drums! He makes learning fun!
I like Andrew. He's helping me read music and learn rhythms. He's patient too. I'm already looking forward to my next lesson.
Excellent teacher. Quickly connected with my sons abilities and needs. Making progress in a short time.
great teacher, my son came home so excited
This was the first time i learned drums with zero knowledge. Best thing is he answers all your questions with all the patience. And Ofcourse he plays awesome drums 😊 so fun to learn from him

Great tips to get started.
Andrew is fantastic! I am a very uncoordinated female in my mid 30's who had this crazy dream to play the drums. My first lessons with Andrew started in a group class setting with ages ranging from 8 to OLD! Andrew had the ability to cater to all our needs so we can understand in our own way no matter what age. By the end of those group sessions I was able to read drum music and play basic beats. I then started taking private lessons with him where he was teaching me to play along with songs, make my own beats, and pretty much just jam. I had a blast learning from him. He is extremely patient and will break it down for you step by step until you understand the fundamentals, mechanics, rhythms, and patterns. He's versatile and was teaching me different styles of music from Rock and Hip Hop, Latin to Reggae. He moved away from the LA area and I have NOT found a teacher on the same level as Andrew. For any females or parents out there concerned, Andrew is very professional and personable. Rest assured he is not creepy and has the best interest for all his students. I can't recommend this guy enough!+ Read More
Andrew is an awesome drum teacher! I started studying with him in a group class setting, where he easily worked with students of all ages and levels of musical experience to teach the fundamentals of drumming. I moved into private lessons with him, which he always balanced nicely focusing on a variety of things: technique, exercises, reading, listening and songs. He is very skilled and knowledgeable, dependable and a wonderfully nice guy. I learned so much from him in the years that I studied with him and was sad to see him leave Los Angeles. I highly recommend him as a drum teacher for students of all ages!+ Read More
Andrew has been teaching my son music lessons since July 2013, and we have been very pleased. He is always on time, communicates well, and is able to be flexible when our schedule is not 100% predictable.
My son was 7 when he began the guitar and after just over a year, we decided that it would be best to switch to the piano. Practicing the guitar was always a struggle. Andrew took this change from guitar to piano in stride and has enough piano skills to help my son learn all of the things that are important in music: reading, learning rhythm, etc. I have seen him teach younger students and I appreciate that he can adapt his teaching approach to match the age, ability and interest of the learner.
My son seems intrinsically motivated to learn the piano and practice. But even as he plodded away strumming his electric guitar unenthusiastically, Andrew always found a way to engage him. One of the more memorable techniques Andrew uses is to write out the music for the songs my son wants to learn. At that moment, it was a Pokémon song. I thought it was rather genius. Even though my son barely practiced, he wanted to learn that song.
By means of the piano, Andrew is teaching my son music, not just how to play songs on the piano. I am amazed at the progress he has made from not being able to reproduce rhythms to now being able to do so.
It is clear that Andrew enjoys teaching. He is personable and polite. I have referred him to family and friends and would not hesitate to hire him for drums, guitar and beginning piano.
Great Teacher!
Andrew Brown is a great teacher! I didn't have any music experience when I signed up for my first class, but he was extremely patient and despite a lack of natural rhythm I learned a lot in every session. Most lessons would incorporate exercises, learning a new beat or technique, learning a song by reading music and learning a song by listening to it. I was never bored during one of his classes as the material was always challenging enough to keep my focus, but not too hard to make me feel frustrated.
I would recommend Andrew Brown to anyone who wants to learn the drums! He's a great teacher and a really nice person!
Highly recommended!
Andrew is an outstanding drum teacher. I took lessons from him for about two years when he was based in Los Angeles. He is well-versed in a variety of teaching styles and I was always amazed by his skill whenever he improvised on the drum set. His ability to break complicated sequences into more digestible pieces was immensely helpful and was invaluable when tackling more challenging beats. He is also an exceptionally patient and encouraging teacher.
He is very receptive to teaching students what they are interested in learning. One of the parts of my lessons I looked forward to was applying what I had learned that class by playing along to some of my favorite songs.
Andrew was very flexible and willing to accomodate my ever-changing schedule. Really personable and funny, too!
I was bummed to hear he was moving to the east coast. If he were still in LA, I would absolutely still be taking lessons from him!

How to Outsource Your Boss

In a flat, dry lakebed of an economic Earth, the wide-open hardpan covered with 3rd-world countries and laughably inefficient communist markets, Americans once had their own above-ground pool. And the water was warm. The pool was filled with money, lapping at our chests as we splashed each other with Christmas bonuses and paid vacations. The talent pool was big enough that everybody on the block could swim, and anyone from another country had to get through immigration before they could climb in.

Be The Boss

Bobby, my older brother, has and always will be my hero. You see my brother always wanted the best for me, constantly showering me with praise and doing everything possible to build up my confidence. He was a great mentor and motivator, leading by example. He taught me to love the game of golf. He would always tell me that with a lot of sweat and hard work I could become a great player. I worked very hard, sometimes hitting up to 500 balls a day and became as great as my brother had always said I would be. Or at least that is what I thought!

Many investor and stock traders will always say that the great bull market began in 1982 when President Ronald Regan took office. While the S&P 500 Index did make a pivot low around that time the great bull market actually began much earlier than that. Believe it or not the great bull market began in 1974. At that time the Federal Reserve Bank had the Fed funds rate(overnight lending rate to the large major banks) around 12.92% in August of 1974.

The Financial Aid Office at St. Lawrence University will assist graduate and professional students in understanding various sources of financial aid to which they may be entitled. Financial aid for graduate students is offered on an annual basis. Students must re-apply for aid each year. Students must be matriculated and enrolled at least half time to be considered for Federal aid and most alternative loan programs.
Types of Financial Assistance
Loss of Subsidized Loan Eligibility for Graduate Students - Please Note
Effective for loans made for period of enrollment (loan periods) beginning on or after July 1, 2012, graduate students are no longer eligible to receive Federal Direct Subsidized Loans. The terms and conditions of Direct Subsidized Loans received by any student for loan periods beginning before July 1, 2012, for either graduate or undergraduate study, are not affected by this change.
The annual loan limit for graduate students remains unchanged at $20,500.
The Federal Stafford Loan:
An unsubsidized loan can be awarded regardless of financial need. You will be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full. If you allow that interest to accumulate, it will be added to the principal amount of your loan. Graduate unsubsidized Stafford Loans first disbursed between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 have a fixed interest rate of 6 percent.
Matriculated graduate students may borrow up to a maximum of $20,500. Repayment begins six months after your graduate or fall below half time status with several payment options. As a first-time borrower, you need to go to www.studentloans.gov to complete the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan Master Promissory Note and entrance counseling. You will need your FSA ID to complete these tasks.
You are required to complete a separate Master Promissory Note (MPN) for your Grad PLUS loan which is good for 10 years.
There is no set annual borrowing limit on the Grad PLUS loan. Graduate Students may borrow up to the cost of their education minus all other accepted financial assistance.
Alternative Educational Loans
Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) (New York State Residents Only)

Travelers are asked to look for "Boat Inspection Ahead" signs and be prepared to pull off at the rest area. Inspections will be done Wednesday through Saturday and usually take about 10 minutes if boats are free of invasive species. If a boat is found to be contaminated with aquatic invaders, it will be cleaned by a mobile decontamination team.
By voluntarily stopping for boat inspections, a boater is not subject to penalties or fines associated with transporting aquatic invasive species.
Stopping the spread of invasive species—quagga and zebra freshwater mussels; water-borne diseases and viruses; New Zealand mudsnails; and aquatic plants such as Eurasian watermilfoil—is critical to the health of Oregon's waters and economy. Invasive species are identified in the Oregon Conservation Strategy as one of the biggest threats to the state's native fish, wildlife and habitats.
The boat inspection stations are part of the Oregon Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program run by ODFW and OMB. The program is funded by the sale of Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention permits which were established by the 2009 State Legislature. For more information, visit the Oregon Marine Board or ODFW websites: www.boatoregon.com, www.dfw.state.or.us.

VS Tank X 1/72 IR Battle Tank D-Day Set
|VS Tanks
|Product Code:
|Reward Points:
|Out Of Stock
RC tankers always appreciate accurate detailing and these VS Tank X are impressive replicas of the real thing in 1/72 scale with the usual high quality paint work that VS Tank are well known for. The VS Tanks have fully proportional forward and reverse speeds, controlled by moving the joystick incrementally forwards/backwards. Sideways movement of the joystick allows a range of steering options, from neutral turns/pivots right through to very wide turns. This allows the operator to easily maneuver the tank exactly where they want it to go. In case the tank doesn't run straight, the controller is equipped with a trimmer for each track so you can adjust them for even performance. These tanks come with rubber tracks and have great climbing ability which allow them to crawl up 40 degree inclines! The main gun and machine gun are operated by separate buttons on the controller, both weapons have unlimited 'ammunition'.The main gun has a firing interval of 2 seconds whereas the MG can fire continuously , it takes 3 seconds of MG fire to score a 'hit'. When the main gun is fired it is also accompanied by a back and forth 'recoil' movement of the entire tank. The IR signal from both weapons can 'hit' other tanks at a distance of up to 2 metres in indoor light conditions. The turret can be turned about 45 degrees to each side which will allow you to "peek" around corners, shoot then retreat. Being 'hit' is denoted by a side to side 'shake' of the damaged tank. After one hit, the power indicator starts to flash and after the 5th hit the power indicator turns off and the tank becomes immobile until reset manually by switching the tank off/on. It's possible to battle up to 4 different tanks at once. The ID of a tank is pre-set at 1,2,3 or 4 which will allow for up to 4 players at once. The tanks are rechargeable and charge off the controller unit.
The Pacific War Set includes 2 controllers, 1 Tiger Tank, 1 Sherman Tank and accessories. You will also need 4 AA batteries per controller.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
On Monday, I asked y'all to pick my next haircut/style. I was a little nervous, putting my hair in your hands. You could have chosen something really awful! Or made me dye my hair green! But y'all were actually very responsible, and I commend you for resisting the temptation to rig the polls. Thankfully, none of you work for Diebold.
The first suggestion turned out to be the landslide winner:
Evan Rachel Wood's short, zesty 'do is pretty awesome, but I admit I did kind of despair when it was chosen because the actual hairstyle in this picture is very, er, styled, which is pretty much the antithesis of low maintenance. It requires several different hair products and tools and is pretty much exactly what I do not need because there's no way I can replicate it on my own without considerable training. And possibly someone to watch me very closely to make sure I don't accidentally end up gluing myself to the refrigerator or something.
But, I said I would do as the readers bade me, and I wasn't going to back out. I looked up publicity shots from around the same time and found that while that specific style was demanding, it was actually a cut I could get really into, because it's highly flexible, and not all the styling options are so intensive. It ended up being a super great choice, and I'd like to thank xoplain for suggesting it...and all of you for voting on it.
As I had hoped, the final decision forced me to think outside my usual zone, which was the whole point of this exercise. I probably won't be sporting that specific style on this cut very often, but the cut itself is awesome and has a lot of potential for play. I think it's easy to get boring with short hair, and this will help me resist that temptation.
I went from being sort of nervous to rather excited, and when I plopped myself down in Denise's chair and explained, she was highly entertained by the concept of letting the Internet pick my hair.
She put the color on first, and then added highlights before sticking me under the hairdryer to bake for a bit:The weird expression on my face is, well...attributable to many things, one of which is that I'm legally blind without my glasses so I actually had no idea what was going on around me or where, precisely, Denise was, even though she kept telling me to look at the camera.
My hair is a little dark right now, slightly darker than the hazelnut brown mandated by readers, but it's going to lighten up to a deliciously warm brown tone, I promise.
Then she did a lot of snipping. My hair is very thick. I'm always amazed by how much she manages to cut off, but I didn't take a picture because I didn't want anyone to yarf while reading. There was also some razoring to thin the pouf on top, before she added some Kevin Murphy Body.Builder mousse (it's awesome stuff, seriously) and started blowdrying my hair, using a round brush to add volume. I told her the end result was pretty much exactly what my hair looks like in the morning. She assured me we weren't done.
She followed with Hair.Resort hairspray (also by Kevin Murphy), and then pieced it out to give it more structure, with this end result:Do you like?! I think it's fabulous. I know it's a bit of a departure from what we originally agreed on, but sometimes you have to make executive decisions. And I'm really loving it, although it is a little hard to sleep on.
Just kidding:(Woah I need a new bra.)
Not what it looks like in the original picture, I know! But it's the same underlying cut, and it does look a lot like one of the other reference images we ended up using:
She snipped a bit more to finish things up because Denise likes things to be perfect, which is one of the reasons I love her so, and then I was on my way, with a promise to return next week for a hair checkup and some more styling funtimes.
I also played around with it a bit at home, after washing out the previous style. I added some Kevin Murphy Easy.Rider and went with a more slicked down look:And a spikier one:
All in all, I'd say xoJane readers can be trusted with crowdsourced style decisions. I think I'm going to have some fun with this cut. Good work, kids.
