How do I keep my curly hair looking good over night?
Whenever I sleep, my hair gets out of control. If I tie it in a pony tail it stays in the shape of the pony tail (if you know what I mean)
How do I keep my (naturally curly) hair looking good over night?


Specifically, overnight your can try "plopping" wet hair:
http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreadin g/tips/to-plop-or-not-to-plop
http://www.wikihow.com/Plop-Your-Hair

If it’s mostly dry I would do a "pineapple". lol, these all have weird names. Anyways put your hair up in a very high, loose ponytail with a cloth wrapped hair tie (also known as scrunchie). This will prevent the curls form being stretched out and stuff. Also to prevent frizzing and damage from moving in your sleep try sleeping on a satin pillowcase.

buy a satin pillow case.. :o)
Ms. | Apr 30, 2009


i have the same problem!!!
ughhh
and i still havent found a solution :(
sorry!
:) | Apr 30, 2009


take a shower in the morning , put moouse into it, and let it air dry that way it won’t loose its shape.
or if you HAVE to take a shower at night go to sleep with it and put some moouse in and fix them with a curling iron in the morning..
but the first option is better
Maria | Apr 30, 2009


put leave in conditioner before going to bed
luvin life | Apr 30, 2009


i have curly hair too, and my curls actually come out the nicest when i shower at night… i just put mousse in it while its wet and go straight to be and just make sure that it is slightly fanned out, not under your head.
Sherene J | May 01, 2009


Pin curls on top of your head. Showing at night makes your morning routine much easier and your curls are more tamed. Comb and apply your styling product. Twist sections of hair on top of your head and secure them with a small clip or bobby pins.
Rose | May 03, 2009


if your hair is flat-ish in the morning, i would suggest wetting you hair slightly in the morning using a small spray bottle, and then applying mousse - it works better on slightly damp hair. but if your hair is just frizzy, some de-frizz spray in the morning should do the trick.
i hear the got2b hair styling products work great and they smell really good too :)

good luck !

Usual Suspects, The

februari 7th, 2010 by eugenerose1972

Usual Suspects, The
Usual Suspects, The (1995)

IMDB rating: 8.70

Plot: After a waterfront explosion, Verbal (Kevin Spacey), an eye-witness and participant tells the story of events leading up to the conflagration. The story begins when five men are rounded up for a line-up, and grilled about a truck hijacking (the usual suspects). Least pleased is Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) a crooked cop - exposed, indicted, but now desperately trying to go straight. The cops won’t leave him alone, however, and as they wait for their lawyers to post bail, he is talked into doing one more job with the other four. All goes tolerably well until the influence of the legendary, seemingly omnipotent “Keyser Soze” is felt. Although set in the modern day, it has much of the texture of the forties, plus suspense, intrigue (a fairly high body count), and lots of twists in the plot.

Good Mafia/Mob Movies?
Hi, so far I know off:

1) Godfather
2) Godfather 2
3) Scarface
4) Goodfellas
5) Carlito’s Way
6) Casino
7) A Bronx Tale
8) Once Upon A Time In America

And a few others like Donnie Brasco, Mobsters and Untouchables, which I didn’t really like. I’m looking for movies made after the 70’s and not before. For the love of god, the only good mafia movie from the 70’s was Godfather.

Movies like The Usual Suspects and Pulp Fiction/Reservoir dogs don’t really count. I’m talking more about Goodfellas/Casino/Bronx Tale type mob movies.

Any advice?
American Gangster? Naah.. I’m looking for more italian then anything… Again, something along the lines of Bronx Tale/Goodfellas/Casino.


American Gangster?
J | Jan 31, 2010


Trust me you’ll LOVE this movie "We own the night" - It’s a newer movie, and has to do with the New York Police Department and Russian Mob. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen, I’m sure you’ll appreciate it.
Kevin | Jan 31, 2010


its a new one but i thought Public Enemies was awesome
crashley | Jan 31, 2010


The Departed kinda involves that, it’s pretty good. Boondock Saints and Boondock Saints II, also. Gangster Wars is alright, but not one of my personal favs. And then of course there is the Sopranos, it’s not a movie but heh, still good.

Dirty Dancing (1987)

IMDB rating: 6.00

Plot: Set in the 1960s, Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman, a sweet daddy’s girl, goes to a very respectable summer camp in the Catskills. Baby has grown up in privileged surrounds with her doctor father and all expect her to go on to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, just like her father. Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp’s dance instructor, Johnny, a man whose background is vastly different to her own. Attempting to impress him, Baby borrows money from her father to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny’s dance partner. She then fills in as Johnny’s dance partner and it is during the rigorous training that they fall in love. It all comes apart when Johnny’s friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby is forced to seek her father’s medical assistance. Her father then learns what Baby has been up to, who with and worse - that he funded the illegal abortion. He bans his daughter from any further association with “those people”. In the first deliberately willful action of her life, Baby later sneaks out to see Johnny - ostensibly to apologize for her father’s rudeness - and ends up consummating her relationship with Johnny. A jealous fellow vacationer sees Baby sneaking out of Johnny’s bungalow the next morning and in an act of retribution, tells management that he is responsible for a theft that last evening, knowing he would not furnish his real whereabouts. Attempting to defend her lover, Baby confesses that they were together that night - all night. This revelation causes a huge rift in the family and Baby makes an impassioned speech to her angry and bereft father. At the closing night performances, and although he has been fired and banned from attending - Johnny returns and takes the stage to tell everyone about the woman who stole his heart and changed his life before they have one, final dance together.

lord of the rings movie?????????????
now we all know lotr is the greatest trilogy of all time, shut up star wars fans. But out of the extended 11 hours of playing time, there is a little down time…what are your least favorite characters and scenes?

Mine Are:
1.Lothlorien–basically the only boring part in Fellowship, i didnt like when Galadriel turned blue, it was awkward.
2. Treebeard–so boring when he talks that the hobbits and audience falls asleep.He has like 30 minutes of screentime in LOTR, i wish it was much less.
3. Arwen–Adds to the ultimate boring middle of Two Towers with her crying and just looking at the screen for 30 minutes.

So thats 90 minutes that i would take out of LOTR, whats yours?


1. Treebeard being Treebeard.

2. Arwen crying, Arwen nagging (sometimes, I really think, ‘poor Elrond’), Arwen WASTING ALL THAT PRECIOUS SCREEN TIME. She was in the book for about…one page.

3. Faramir being terribly uncharacteristic in the Two Towers (actually thinking about taking the ring and then taking Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath). I know PJ had a reason for doing that and deviating from the book, but it still bothered me.

Faramir would never, ever, ever do that. It’s the whole point of him, and his ability to resist the ring defines him.

However, that being said, LOTR is still really the greatest trilogy ever - no matter what the Star Wars fans say. :)

tips on helping my pit learn to be less dominate?
i have a 1 yr old female pit bull and i love her to death, she is just a ball of energy though i play with her she is good at home, sometimes gets a lil rambunctious but its fine, its when i walk her she pulls so hard if it is to get to another dog, she doesn’t seem mad her tail wags but i dont trust other ppl or their dogs so i keep a distance and she howls and claws the ground to get to them im a lil lady lol i use all i have to keep her with me but its not wrking ..yes i used a harness found out that its a pulling game 4 her and makes her stronger i dont want her stronger, i bought a nylon chock leash ITS the kind that’s a leash and collar in one, she is ridiculously strong and has dominance issues i have no money for classes right now but im saving, i took her to meet my friends dog well it was a loud crazy struggle she calmed down some but my point is i want her to just be friendly and calm like i see other dogs yes she is still young so im hoping she will loose her puppy traits, but do you have any tips or stories to share i would enjoy this thanks in advance
JOSH..yes!! i have listened to the dogf whisperer!! my cousin has 5 pits and gave me i think 5 cd’s to lo listen to, and the tips he has are amazing i agree with you.

CARA. you know i love my dog and she is nothing but faithful to me but in public she gets irritated with ppl who are stuck up and think her breed should be put down completely..so im trying to teach her not to let ppl like you and you amazing dogs make her upset enough to react towards you..p.s you didnt answer one question i asked,,,dont tell me whats a better dog give advice or carry on..thanks
i use treats when walking that works but when meeting this new dog she pulls tugs and does whatever to get to the animal…the treats dont mean one thing she looked at my hand and kept tugging!! she is just so dominating and strong i really need advice and a great collar leash..thanks


Get her a prong collar and learn how to use it.
Hoshiko *Should I tell him?* | Feb 01, 2010


My male pit was the same way…I now use a Halti with him and just really worked on his obedience commands. The Halti kept him from pulling, and him knowing his commands helped to keep his focus on ME when other dogs would pass us on our walks. I have been using the Halti for almost a year now and we have no issues at all anymore. As I said, working on her commands is most important. I use the word "look" and he knows to focus his attention on ME and ME only!! Allowing your dog to socialize with other dogs is very important, but, when her behavior is not acceptable to you, correct her immediately!! It takes time, but if your persistant with her training, it will all work out!
Coopers Mom | Feb 01, 2010


I am not a young woman, I am a grmother, so I have had some different breeds in my life….what I will never understand is……..WHY would you want such a rambunctious child? WHY? Why not get a nice calm quiet breed who is easier to handle? I just don’t understand it. We have 2 Aussies….they can be walked w/NO leashes….they stop when told to, they come, stay, fences mean nothing to them, yet they stay in their yard, UNLESS their tennis ball goes over into the field next door….then one will go get it. But NO aggression, they are 4 & 5 yrs old. We had Great Danes for yrs, and also a Collie, Golden Ret, Labs…..there are many beautiful dogs out there, you don’t have to have such a problem, unless you want it.
Cara | Feb 01, 2010


Don’t listen to the idiot that says get a prong collar. Those look scary and look bad on an already frowned upon breed. I have a female red nose pit and she is the sweetest dog I have ever met. You will probably need a choke chain initially to train her to walk behind you, showing that you are pack leader and dominant and that she should be following you. There is so much stuff you have to learn about this that I’m gonna recommend a show that helped FAR more than any classes I have taken her to. Its called Dog Whisperer by Ceaser Milan. This showed me everything about dominance and how to control and correct your dog. I highly recommend watching at least a couple of episodes.
Josh | Feb 01, 2010


Wow Cara Your IGNORENCE TO THIS BREED amazes me… PIT BULLS were once umongst the TOP FIVE most popular and most trusted breeds and perhaps to your suprise GOLDENS are now seen as being far more aggressive then the pit bull breed on national scales!… And LABS.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Labs are not only an EXTREAMLY Tough Breed to keep under control they are highly rambunxious crazy and Loud!… For someone whom had experience with such a veriety of different amazing breeds and for someone with years of experience in life your words completly sadden me!

Now that i got that off my chest!…. Your first step will be too train in the Home!! and then work your way outside… baby steps!!.. Pit bulls are extreamly strong.. harness will not to justice because this is where all your pitbulls strength is!… i advise you to get a prong/choke collar for ONLY SUPERVISED WEAR! and training purposes… the collar should sit directly behind her ears where she has no strength! after you get her to where she obeys i would advise going to a leather collar. Prong and choke chains can have negative effects if not worn correctly so i advise you to learn as much as you can about them!

http://leerburg.com/fit-prong.htm <this link should help you get started

i commend you for not going straight to giving up on your little ANGEL and coming to people like us for some pointers the rest is in your hands.. <3 Best Wishes!
Bezle | Feb 01, 2010


I am highly against the use of prong collars on dogs unless you are a professional or have been trained by a professional on how to use it. Prong collars can make a dog mean and can hurt the dog if they are not used properly. The same issues can come up with choke collars but are less likely than the prong collars. I asked my vet for tips on how to use the choke collar in the most effective manner to resolve the issues my pit mix had with chasing after anything that moves and pulling on our daily walks. He advised me to keep treats with me and use the command ignore it and start training just like I did with sit and stay. I rewarded her when she would ignore the distraction and keep walking. I am too the point that she just gets a simple good girl, unless it is something like a dog coming up to her in which she gets a scratch behind the ear and a treat when we get home. Note that the treat isn’t necessarily food. Sometimes she gets an ice cube in her kong or if I have a new toy I give her that. If she doesn’t want to play I’ll let her on the couch with me (this is a treat for her). Talk to your vet about what they suggest for your dog. Also you can ask the trainers at Pets Mart for their advice for free.

As for Cara’s comment. Pit bull’s are one of the best dogs to have for companionship and protection. They are an extremely loyal and loving breed. I compare them to German Shepherds in the fact that they will attack with lethal force if instigated or if they feel their family/owner is threatened. All dogs can be made mean, and any dog with the strength and speed like Pit bulls, Boxers, German Shepherds, etc have the resources and instinct to protect themselves with all their might. Did you know that Poodles and Dalmatians are among the breeds with the highest attacks reported? Blame the owner not the breed. Every dog with proper care will be a great companion. This dog is still a puppy that needs some more training. Pit bulls are usually quite intelligent and learn very quickly how to get away with things if the problem is not fixed immediately. This might be the asker’s first pit bull and every breed has different needs as far as training. The stereotypes you are using are the reasons why cities ban pit bulls. I’m sorry for the rant but I have grown up around these gorgeous and athletic dogs and hate the ignorance people have about them. I chose to rescue my pit mix because I needed a dog that met 3 criteria:
A) A dog that wouldn’t mind 3 to 5 mile runs every few days and 1 to 2 mile walks on the other days
B) Be able to keep up with a German Shepherd and a Pyrenees/ Anatolian Shepherd mix
C) Be very loving because my 13 yr old dog had passed away and I needed a companion
She met these requirements and was crate trained within a week. She was 6 weeks old when I got her and is now 11 months old and is probably one of the smartest dogs I have ever met. I live in a house with 2 other girls and the German Shepherd and she is a better protector than he is.

I rescued my little puppy when she was 6 weeks old. She is almost 4 months & I am having the same issues as you. I do use dog treats when we go walking & when a car drives past us I have her sit & I am trying to get her to sit when we see people on the other side of the road because she wants to pull me. I have been using a harness, but the more I read it’s not a good thing. I spoke with a teenager who said she uses a bridle on her pit bull. I seen someone here suggested a halti & after googling the name it’s seemed to be the same thing. I think I will try that out. Oh, I was like others who believed all the myths about pit bulls being a bad breed. My baby is a sweet thing who is very loving & smart. I do believe in keeping a close eye on her w/ others & it’s not the breed I watch the other adult dogs in my family who are of different breeds closely too. Good luck.
