Does hairspray damage your hair?
Does putting on hairspray and gel damage hair? not a TON but enough to scrunc it but enough to make a pony tail slicked?
thanks!
:D
btw, i dont like slicked ponies either :P i just have to slick them for cheerleading so i was just wondering ^_^


It dries out your hair, so be careful not to straighten it too much, or blow dry it too much, unless you put conditioner and stuff in it.
Constant hairspray will dry out your scalp too, and then your hair will be slightly damaged. If you don’t use it alot, all the time, then you should be good.
Betty Boop | Feb 08, 2010


no i dont think so. as long as you wash it out. btw i dont think slicked ponytails look good. but my thoughts shouldnt matter. no it wont damage your hair
Aimzey | Feb 08, 2010


Yes-it depends on the type of hairspray. Many gels and hair sprays have lots of alcohol and silicone’s in them which coat your hair and make it look shiny,yet block moisture and cause dryness and breakage. Aloe vera gel works great but its a bit pricey, you can find it at a health food store, vitamin shop or gnc. You can use a good conditioner to slick back your hair as well.

How to Make an American Quilt
How to Make an American Quilt (1995)

IMDB rating: 5.70

Plot: Finn is a young graduate student, finishing a master’s thesis, and preparing for marriage to her fiance Sam. But thoughts of the end of the free life, and a potential summer fling, intrude. She goes home to her grandmother, where, over the making of her wedding gift by a group of quilting-bee friends, laughter, bickering, love, and advice lead her toward a more open-eyed examination of her course.

Why can't Canada's green party expand itself?
I think Canada’s green party should be the party of women, innocence, cleanliness, environment, nature-loving, peace, like appeal to idealism and like the party of Planet Venus, with a women’s rights element led by Elizabeth May.

They could win environmental votes by using a seduction (take colorful blankets made of recycled organic materials, and have Green Party campaign girls cuddle in them and put flowers in their hair and tie dye peace signs on the quilts and then roll down Parliament Hill).

And it would be like Canada’s version of the American hippie girls and the guys would of course go crazy and it woudl spark incredible notoriety and then the Green Party votes would start increasing.

Why can’t Canada’s Green Party try this? I mean be seductive but in an innocent way, where it’s like hemp dresses and leave it to the imagination.

Then Canadians would start turning towards Elizabeth May’s party. And they would play the renaissance song "Now is the month of Maying"
As for the comment about using sexuality to sell, the idea is NOT to discriminate based on looks of which girls can join. Instead, it doesn’t matter what you look like, you can roll down Parliament hill and be accepted and all the girls would wear hair dyes that make them all look pretty regardless of who is actually prettier. It is female utopia.
Alright alright alright, we will have guys AND girls involved in the quilts so that it’s not degrading to one gender and not the other. We will make objects out of both men and women together.

This shall be symbolic of that ALL Of us are objects of greenery
I’m not from Canada, but I suspect the Green Party of Canada is not campaigning to shut down businesses, or ban wood manufacturing or even crude oil.

The Green Party rather believed these businesses should develop action plans to contribute their share of environmental obligations. They are also likely a consumer protection party. They also likely believe their campaign for a healthier environment if successful will reduce illnesses and lower medical costs. They likely have a shot on a moderate environmental platform.


You do realize if they doubled their support, they would still only have 2 seats I presume?

Fred C | Aug 24, 2009


They are not really a serious party. They know that if they put a "none of the above" box on the ballot their support would dry up.
MasterPython | Aug 24, 2009


The Green Party? Otherwise known as the Granola Party? What isn’t fruits, or nuts…are flakes.
Randy B | Aug 24, 2009


well, first of all your interest in hippie girls is slight disturbing…. in someways your touting a sex sells attitude which I highly doubt is a core value of the green party. The biggest problem is that a stronger green party means vote splitting which results in less than ideal candidates winning their ridings and ultimately getting enough seats to form a government. Case in point the last election, seats were won and lost by less than a hundred votes….this lead to yet another conservative government. Ultimately, we have a crowded political field and unless one party become across the board dominate I highly doubt the green party can develop. Further more your ideas about hippies is devoid of any contextual understanding… hippies and the 60’s were totally different time period ie. war, civil rights, feminism, the u.s. draft etc. You can’t just pick one element and think that transporting it forty years into the future will work
mms's | Aug 24, 2009


Umm because thats like making women seem like objects…And the reason the green party can’t expand is the following; they dont get any votes because if you vote for them its pretty much like giving your vote to the liberals which for most people is a bad choice…so the green party has hardly any money hardly any money means no advertising no advertising means even less votes. And why would you assume that all females would like to dress in tie die and have flowers in their hair because thats just kinda meek and lame…Women arent just advertising signs!! I think its a really sexist idea!
New, Emo Lawn! Cuts itself! | Aug 25, 2009


They can expand because most voters vote for one of the real political parties such as the Conservatives or Liberals, and aren’t, idiotic environmentalist radical hippies that want to legalize pot and hope the world becomes peaceful.
Nick 246 | Aug 25, 2009


The Green Party is too narrowed in views and too closely aligned with Greenpeace to lead the 2nd-biggest country in the world.

If there focus is "green" (the word itself makes no sense to me, since where I live, it is never green, even during the best of times…), then would that not mean they would rather do economically, financially, and politically harmful things such as shutting down Canada’s motor vehicle and aircraft manufacturing facilities, thus forcing us to buy them from elsewhere? Would they not have us stop harvesting our wood to sell to other countries, thus breaking down our economy further and forcing us to buy wood from other countries, when we have enough for the whole world?
The Green Party, the (N)DP and the traitors aka Bloc should all be dismissed and chained up.

Lawful action to take when police cover for each other?
Just saw "Lakeview Terrace", starring Samuel L Jackson as a ‘hardcore tough justice’ police officer. His interracial couple neighbors tried to complain about his antisocial activities only to find a lackluster response as the semi-crooked cop in question works at that local precinct.

Now I know *in theory* the police are suppose to be upstanding and impartial in their work but what lawful course of action can be taken when police or other law enforcement officers are colluding, ignoring or endorsing illegal activities due to close affiliation with the individual in question.

Simply put, who protects us when those who are suppose ‘To Serve and Protect’ are the ones we need protection from?

I’d be very interested in the opinion of any current or past law enforcement officers.


Everyone has a boss. Everyone.

highwayman7900 | Nov 11, 2009


to your question. I have found out that when people ask such a question as yours are either in these 2 categories. 1) have done something illegal and have been caught by the police. 2) are considering to conduct something illegal and realize there are police out there that will catch them these people are police haters. that is a movie. some police are crooks and some are not. just like in any profession. some are crooks and some are not. doctors,lawyers,firemen,ect.
db30344 | Nov 11, 2009


You can change the movies of flip the channel………..you do realize that is a movie right?

In real life complaints are investigated and if wrong doing is found then disciplinary action is taken. If the agency fails to act in an ethical manner then the State Attorney General would be a resource. I have never seen an agency fail follow up on a serious complaint and I have worked for four of them so far and know Officers in plenty of others. TV makes for a better story then reality.
El Scott | Nov 11, 2009


I’m surprised Jimmy Whispers hasn’t posted on this yet, he drools for any excuse to dump on cops. I’ve been a police officer for a while now. Every complaint is handled by command staff to protect them and the department. Very rarely will you ever find these movie scenarios. Between the movies, news and scumbag lawyers looking to jump on any mistakes we make, this kind of thing just isn’t possible. Of course not all officers are upstanding citizens and we ALL pay for them. But on the whole, if one officer does bad, the others will look down on him as an embarrassment. Not help him cover up.

Planning a tripe to las vegas, Ballys or Excalibur?

Anyone stay at either? TIA


I think I would choose Bally’s. It is an older property, but it’s still in great condition, and you can’t beat its location. It’s right in the center of the strip, near so many other resorts, attractions, shopping, etc. You can walk just about anywhere else on the strip pretty quickly and easy from Bally’s, and there is also a Deuce stop nearby and a Monorail stop behind it.

Excalibur is also a nice place. It’s located further south on the strip, but also near a lot of other active places. It does have a more childish theme and feel to it, and tends to cater to families. It’s not like there are tons of kids running around there, but you’re more likely to find them there than at Bally’s. But the rooms are nice, the rates are good, and the location is pretty decent.

Melissa | Feb 01, 2010


My wife and I stayed at Ballys, we’ve never stayed at Excalibur, so can’t comment. But we were happy with Ballys. It’s one of the older properties now, but the price is right and it’s not ‘that bad" if you are mainly just looking for a place to flop at when you’re tired. We had an excellent view of Paris Paris and the fountains at Bellagio, which was cool. You are very centrally located and can take the Deuce where ever you want. Easy walks to Ceasars, Bellagios, so many things "right there" within a 10 or 15 minute walk. It was great, would stay there again.

I like Ballys, but stay in one of the Deluxe rooms in the North Tower. They cost a liitle more but are very nice. The Cheaper Classic rooms in the South Tower have not been remodled in a long time and are pretty bad. Ballys is centrally located and you just walk through the mall to get to the Paris Casino. Ceasars is just across the street.

Excalibur is kind of cheesy unless you are really into the medevil knights and castle theme.

They both kind of suck, but I would go with Bally’s. Better rooms and location,

Hi,

Ballys Las Vegas Hotel would be the best choice of the two you have. Yes I have stayed at Ballys. I also like the fact that it is more in the center of the strip. Check out the Jubilee show at Ballys while you are there,

Can anyone cite any atrocities that were caused by religion?
1. Hitlers extermination of the Jews and the support and justification by the Catholic and Protestant churchs of Germany.

2. 9/11, Pentagon and World Trade centre bombings

3. 2005 London Subway and Bus bombings

4. Klu Klux Klan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_t errorism#United_States

5. Charles Manson and the Helter Skelter murders

6. The Crusades (obvious)

What else can you cite, anything that was caused by religion.
Okay the reason I put Charles Manson in was because that he convinved himself through Beetles songs and using bible passages that he was Jesus or something like that, and then his plant to murder rich white people. So you could say religion was a factor, since he wouldnt have had a basis for his plan without it.

And, Hitler would never have gotten as far as he did without religious support. All his speeches appealed to Christians in some way.


Yes, the atrocity of indoctrinating helpless children.

i agree with you religion has caused alot of terror but

Hitler saw the jews and black people as sub human. It was not really based on their religion.

CHarles Manson killed and blamed it on black people so he could start a race war and then rule over the post war world.

The inquisition should be included. Over 50,000 people in europe were killed

EDIT

your wrong about manson he believed the beatles picked him for that mission

also Hitlers speechs appealed to GERMANS not christians. He was appealing to the German people
Cyrus C | Dec 31, 2009


LOL.

Socrates stated that the motives of leadership were to sometimes use Religion as a front for the peoples, rather than disclosing other motives, especially in matters of war and taxing.

It is not as obvious as one might propose to claim that the crusades were of religious motives, only, by many of participants as they plundered and pillaged. Also, what was the status of the banking structures; at that time? Did not both religious establishments consider it an underground matter to accept an give loans; classifying it as unlawful usurious moneylending?

My iPhone 3GS screen is smashed?
My iPhone screen just got completely smashed (the glass is all shattered) by a bottle of deoderant falling on it slightly :’( and the only thing keeping the glass in place is my screen protector.
Anyways I was wondering will this be able to be fixed at the genius bar? and if my phone is still under warranty will I have to pay for the screen replacement/get a replacement phone while they are fixing it? Or do they give you a new phone? Im wondering about the replacement phone as I have no other phones which will work with an o2 sim card so would be without a phone for a while.
Thank you in advance :)


Sorry, no such luck.
Straight from the apple 1 year limited warrenty form:
"This warranty does not apply: (b) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes"

Mike S | Jan 28, 2010


Unfortunately the warranty only covers damage due to hardware/software failure. Since it got smashed, you’ll have to pay for the repairs. Unless you have an insurance that covers these instances.
Filipp | Jan 28, 2010


Your warranty only covers technical problems, so you’ll probably have to pay for them to replace it for you. Also, you could take your old phone to the vodafone shop or carephone warehouse and ask them to unlock it so it will accomodate all networks. They usually do that for free.
