Hulk Hogan podczas konferencji porwierdzającej jego przejście do TNA

# Pojawiły się nowe fakty co do dołączenia Hulka Hogana do TNA. Jak podają źródła, po słynnym przemówieniu do całego rosteru które wykonała Dixie Carter (można było je zobaczyć na TNA Impact parę tygodni temu), z rosterem przez konferencje telefoniczną porozmawiał sam Hulk. Według plotek zawodnicy byli, trochę zawiedzeni iż wrestler nie pojawił się w budynku jednak docenili jego gest. Kształtów może też nabierać sprawa debiutu Hogana podczas nagrań Impactów. Według plotek miałby się on pojawić jeszcze podczas któregoś z nagrań w grudniu tego roku. Sam Hogan ponoć pracuje nad materiałem filmowym który, byłby częścią debiutu. Co więcej potwierdziły się informację, iż wszelkie oddziały telewizyjne jak i reporterzy, nie byli powiadomieni o tym że Hulk ma zamiar ogłosić swoje przejście do TNA. Dlatego była to kompletna niespodzianka.

Dla zapominalskich poniżej film z przemówieniem Dixie do wrestlerów:

# Zostając przy tej przemowie, wśród zawodników siedzących na publiczności nie znalazło się 5 osób. Pewnymi nazwiskami jest Homicide i Frankie Kazarian który obecnie odgrywa rolę Suicide’a. Dixie Carter przekazała, że jeśli te osoby nie mają zamiaru pomoc TNA w jej idei, mogą odejść z federacji. To też uczyniła ta 5 zawodników, jednak zarząd odrzucił ich petycje. Swoją rolę odegrał w tym AJ Styles i Daniels którzy namówili obydwu zawodników do pozostania.

# Z racji tego iż Impact według kalendarza wychodzi w Wigilię Bożego Narodzenia, TNA postanowiła nie emitować tego dnia programu, przez co w sylwester zostaną wyemitowane 4 godziny Impactu podzielone na 2 części.

# 8 Grudnia oficjalną premierę będzie miało DVD gdzie znajduje się zapis gali Bound For Glory.

# Dobiegł również końca etap zgłaszania się chętnych pań do konkursu który ma rozstrzygnąć i wybrać partnerkę Kevina Nasha podczas “Big Sexy Tour 2010″. Zwyciężczyni spędzi z samym zainteresowanym cały dzień, będzie miała zapewniony pobyt w najdroższym hotelu, najlepsze miejsca na Final Resolution 2009 PPV oraz obecność na posterach i sesjach zdjęciowych.

# Na koniec zdjęcie które z powodzeniem, mogło by znaleźć się jako zdjęcie tygodnia po prawej stronie. Czyli Lacey Von Erich w bikini podczas Bikini Contest na Hulkmanii

CSS Class Equivalent in WPF

hbarck — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:45:31 +0000

In the small hours of this morning, I had an idea about how to create a stylesheet for FlowDocuments that behaves similar to CSS. What’s the difference between CSS classes and WPF styles? Well, CSS classes are not necessarily specific to a certain element type, and they can be combined on the styled element, while WPF Styles are specific to the element type, and each element can have exactly one Style (in addition to the default style, which fills in wherever the element style doesn’t provide a value). Also, if you want to combine Styles in WPF, you have to do it in the Style definition using BasedOn, which I find quite inflexible, and which drives one crazy if one has to support a lot of independent permutations.

So, what was the idea? The first one was that CSS classes should not be implemented as Styles, but as Triggers inside styles, which are selected whenever a certain attached property has the fitting value. So, in order to support different classes of TextBlocks, one would do this:

<Style TargetType="TextBlock" >
     <Style.Triggers>
         <Trigger Property="t:MultiStyle.Selector" Value="italic">
             <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Italic"/>
         </Trigger>
         <Trigger Property="t:MultiStyle.Selector" Value="red">
             <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
         </Trigger>
         <Trigger Property="t:MultiStyle.Selector" Value="bold">
             <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
             <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Normal"/>
         </Trigger>
     </Style.Triggers>
 </Style>

The second idea was to use a special type for the attached property. The StyleSelector class tokenizes its String value, and returns “equal” on a comparison with another string or StyleSelector if the other object contains one of the tokens that are defined:

PublicClass MultiStyle
Inherits DependencyObject
     Public Shared ReadOnly SelectorProperty As DependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("Selector", GetType(StyleSelector), GetType(MultiStyle))
     Public Shared Function GetSelector(ByVal d As DependencyObject) As StyleSelector
         Return d.GetValue(SelectorProperty)
     End Function
     Public Shared Sub SetSelector(ByVal d As DependencyObject, ByVal value As StyleSelector)
         d.SetValue(SelectorProperty, value)
     End Sub
 End Class
 <System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(GetType(StyleSelectorConverter))> _
 Public Class StyleSelector
     Implements IEquatable(Of StyleSelector), IEquatable(Of String)
     Public Sub New(ByVal value As String)
         _Value = value
     End Sub
     Private _Value As String
     Public Property Value() As String
         Get
             Return _Value
         End Get
         Set(ByVal value As String)
             _Value = value
         End Set
     End Property
     Public Overrides Function Equals(ByVal obj As Object) As Boolean
         If TypeOf obj Is StyleSelector Then
             Return Equals1(obj)
         End If
         If TypeOf obj Is String Then
             Return Equals2(obj)
         End If
         Return MyBase.Equals(obj)
     End Function
     Public Function Equals1(ByVal other As StyleSelector) As Boolean Implements System.IEquatable(Of StyleSelector).Equals
         If other IsNot Nothing And _Value IsNot Nothing Then
             Dim myValue() As String = _Value.Split(" "c)
             Dim otherValue() As String = other.Value.Split(" "c)
             Dim result As Boolean = False
             Dim i As Integer = 0
             Do While i < otherValue.Length And Not result
                 result = myValue.Contains(otherValue(i))
                 i += 1
             Loop
             Return result
         Else
             Return MyBase.Equals(other)
         End If
     End Function
     Public Function Equals2(ByVal other As String) As Boolean Implements System.IEquatable(Of String).Equals
         If other IsNot Nothing And _Value IsNot Nothing Then
             Dim myValue() As String = _Value.Split(" "c)
             Return myValue.Contains(other)
         Else
             Return MyBase.Equals(other)
         End If
     End Function
 End Class
 Public Class StyleSelectorConverter
     Inherits System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
     Public Overrides Function CanConvertFrom(ByVal context As System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext, ByVal sourceType As System.Type) As Boolean
         Return (sourceType Is GetType(String))
     End Function
     Public Overrides Function CanConvertTo(ByVal context As System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext, ByVal destinationType As System.Type) As Boolean
         Return (destinationType Is GetType(String))
     End Function
     Public Overrides Function ConvertFrom(ByVal context As System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext, ByVal culture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo, ByVal value As Object) As Object
         Dim result As StyleSelector = Nothing
         If TypeOf value Is String Then
             result = New StyleSelector(value)
         End If
         Return result
     End Function
     Public Overrides Function ConvertTo(ByVal context As System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext, ByVal culture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo, ByVal value As Object, ByVal destinationType As System.Type) As Object
         Dim result As Object = Nothing
         If TypeOf value Is StyleSelector Then
             result = DirectCast(value, StyleSelector).Value
         End If
         Return result
     End Function
 End Class

The only thing that remains to do is to implement the TypeConverter that allows to use StyleSelector as an attribute value in XAML, and to define the attached property.

Applications

Since I couldn’t go back to sleep, I tried it out immediately. You can download the VB solution here. (you will have to remove the .doc extension from the zip file; wordpress.com doesn’t allow zip files directly.)

However, when I was done, the idea didn’t seem so brilliant anymore as when I woke up. There are limitations of course. The trick works only with property setters. If you want to use triggers, they will be the same for all classes. What can you do with this what you can’t do with styles? The last thing that I came up with is that one could write a style sheet editor that creates styles with identical class definitions for different types of controls, so that you can use the same set of property values for different elements, as in CSS. However, you’d have to have this editor, otherwise it would be to much work to keep the class definitions equal to each other. And, of course, one can combine multiple classes on the same element, for what it’s worth…

PS: What happens if two classes provide different values for the same property and are both set on the same element? Because triggers are executed in the order they appear in the Style definition, the class that is defined last wins and overwrites the value of its sibling…

Black Hair Braid Styles

marvinhkolp1234 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:45:09 +0000

My wife is a hair stylist and she has mentioned to me how difficult it could be to do black hair braid styles. It is a time consuming project that, because of the uniqueness of the hair, must be done as close to perfect so as not to destroy the hair. Because my wife can have a perfectionist attitude, it can be nerve racking for her to attempt a type of hair style that she not confident in doing. Of course she knows that practice makes perfect so she does coax her black girlfriends to let her do black hair braid styles on them. As a stylist she wants to be able to do all hairstyles with expertise. She told me that the black hair braids can be elegant, relaxed, and have very easy going styles.

There are so many different black hair braid styles that there is a lot to learn if you want to be able to do them. If you are doing braids with your own real hair you can do, among others, waved braiding hair styles. Two examples are the New deep or the Water braiding styles. Nowadays you can find a lot of people using synthetic hair. There are curly braiding hair style that you could use. Two styles are the Afro kinky hair or the Marley braid. There are so many different styles. Of course you have the most common styles; weaves, simply braided or corn rolls. It doesn’t matter the style when more often then not the finished product is a sight to behold. Of course, using the right hair care products consistently goes a long way in keeping the hair looking beautiful.

There are many different hairstyles for all different types of hair but I don’t think that any style is as unique or more admired in the end as black hair braid styles. As long as we have it, I say we do our best to have great looking hair, no matter what the type.

What To Wear on a Zeppelin Ride?Nymphetamine!

There is something just so sassy about the releases I receive from Nymphetamine. I smile as they rezz. I really love the creativity and just FUN that goes into each creation. I have no practical use for this dress yet- I sort of think that everyone should own it, just because it’s so much fun it hurts. MY GOD just look at the bustle (I’m calling it a bustle but it goes all the way around so now I’m just making up terms. I’m American. We do that.)

This dress is a classic example of the duplicity of Victorian fashion. Demure, simple and lady like fashions were extolled (see – it’s just black and white that’s simple, right?) yet the ornamentation was just over the top to make up for the subtle fabric.

It’s a classic and with a great modern spin as I am showing off my lovely lady lumps which no Victorian lady would’ve done.

Nymphetamine does a fantastic job of putting modern taste into Victorian and gothic styles – so that it appeals to a wide range of consumers, and not just those who read Byron and play games which involve many sided die.

This is a gorgeous gown and I recommend going over to Nymphetamine and checking out what else they have to offer. The range is quite delightful – and if I’m not wrong she recently released some VERY naughty lingerie. I can’t show you, cuz I don’t get mah bewbs out BUT…….it’s stunning.

Quick Look:Mimikri - 50L Weekend Madness

Ok so I never did 50L Fridays or 60L Sundays or what have you, until this weekend. And now I’m broke so I hope you bastards are happy. Kidding.

Let me first say – the only reason I stepped out for this event, 50L Fridays, were these TIGHTS from SH*T Happens. Ana had announced them on Plurk (hello creators – JOIN PLURK, it’s like fashion on Crack) and I knew if nothing else, I’d make time to pick up a set.

While I was out carousing I got a notice about another event, WEEKEND MADNESS that some creators are participating in and saw Mimikri’s name on the notecard – HELLO! I cannot believe this jacket and skirt was only L$50!

I added a black tank underneath so as not to be TOOO booberiffic and these gorgeous sleek boots from A-Bomb. If you haven’t been to A-Bomb lately – I have to say she makes some of the most fun stuffs around. Definitely worth a stop!

TNA Impact: Thanksgiving Invitational Tournament

nala310 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:58:33 +0000

TNA Impact – November 26, 2009

I was finally able to find this week’s edition of TNA Impact. I don’t know why TNA gets such a bad rap on the internet from people. I think TNA has the best show of all of them, better talent, better stories and better PPVs. This week’s TNA is to feature a tournament, I believe, I don’t check spoilers so it’s always a surprise to me, and I like it that way, makes the shows more enjoyable.

TNA opens with the recap of AJ and Daniels, Hogan, Team 3D, etc. Jesse Neal looks hilarious with the Mohawk; at first I thought Spike Dudley had Thanksgiving dinner early. Cue the opening theme and then Don West and Tazz. Ok, I’m in the minority but I miss Don West, he just had that special something for TNA, Tazz is ok, but West and Tenay were a good team. Tournament brackets are shown, and one match looks like a squash to me, Wolfe v. Suicide. The other 3 should be very good matches, hopefully Abyss, The Pope & Homicide win, then finals of Wolfe and Pope with Wolfe taking it, I’m probably wrong though, my prediction skills always suck.

1. Bobby Lashley v. Abyss. Interesting little info thing they show when the guy comes out, I don’t remember seeing that last week. Abyss has the coolest music, I still remember Jimmy Yang coming out to it. Fourteen years pro for Abyss, seriously, holy crap? Lashley starts out quick, Abyss with a vicious clothesline. Seems odd seeing two faces in the ring at the same time, but at least it’s not Scott Steiner! Abyss catching Lashley with a bear hug, one of the lamest looking moves in wrestling. I mean sure it hurts if you squeeze someone, but it just looks so gay, like they’re hugging each other! Lashley powers out, drop toe hold, was I the only one waiting for a 619? Lashley with a huge spine buster, which was impressive, clothesline over the top, Abyss pulls Bobby out, and Krystal takes an elbow from Abyss accidentally. Guess she shouldn’t have been out there, what’s the reason for her being there. Both men in the ring, Abyss distracted, hit with the big spear and Lashley with a dragon sleeper, Abyss taps. Damn, not the start I wanted. 2.5/5 a little too quick of a match, but at least we had no interference.

2. Backstage with Pirate Mick Foley and JB. Mick asking why Hulk was hired so secretly. Mick looks funny with the eye patch; all he needs is a pirate. JB trying to explain to Mick about all the radio shows Hulk was on. Mick says it stinks, and says Nash said Hulk is not coming alone. Please don’t let it be Scott “Last Call” Hall, that’s all they need. Foley says he’s going to talk to Kurt Angle.

3. Suicide v. Desmond Wolfe. OK, this gimmick needs to end, this is worse than Curry Man, just take the damn mask off Kaz. Desmond pushes Suicide down and stomps on the hand, then does it again. Crowd chants “You tapped out” at Wolfe, as he hits a belly to belly on the masked man. Suicide with a flip move to reverse the arm bar, Desmond gets back on the arm. I like the strategy, very reminiscent of the Andersons. Desmond nails Suicide in the corner and gets a two count. Desmond with a modified Cobra Clutch, then releases it, spins Suicide around, shoulder block and back to the Clutch. Mike and Tazz mention Homicide knows who Suicide is, then just reveal it. Suicide with springboard elbow, dropkick, rolling firemans carries and slingshot leg drop for a two count. Desmond powers Suicide down, sets him on the top rope, Suicide counters and hits a dropkick. Desmond sets Suicide on the top and hits a botched Tower of London. 2/5 the botched finish killed it. No replay shown, so obviously that was botched badly.

4. D’Angelo Dinero v. Kurt Angle. D’Angelo is such an amazing talent, what a mistake by WWE to get rid of him. Always cool the way Kurt comes up out of the floor. Can’t believe it’s been ten years since his debut at Survivor Series 99, seems like just yesterday. Angle starts with a headlock to shoulder block, D’Angelo with an arm drag to an arm bar. Another arm drag, who does he think he is Ricky Steamboat? D’Angelo with an arm bar, Kurt counters out, Dinero hits the flying shoulder block for a two count. Kurt catches Dinero with the belly to belly overhead, Dinero struggles up. Angle with the vertical Suplex for another two, Angle to a chin lock. Angle pounds down the Pope, Pope with an elbow and a series of clotheslines, Angle slides underneath and hits the triple German. Dinero counters the third though and hits one of his own and then the leg sweep clothesline, for a very close two count. Pope does his slide out of the ring to the crowd, and then sets Angle for the springboard elbow. That always looks so cool when he hits it. Sets him up for the DDD, Angle counters into an ankle lock, Dinero kicks out but hit with the Angle slam for the win. 4/5 Excellent match for a TV match, Angle offers the hand to Pope and helps him up. Classy move from Kurt Angle, very cool.

5. Kurt Angle backstage with Mick Foley. Kurt tells Mick the Mafia is no more, thankfully. Mick asks about Hulk coming in. Angle says to make the company better; Mick says what to take my job? Angle says I’m on board for this, and reminds Mick he better be on board. Angle brushes Mick off to get ready for his next round match.

6. Homicide v. Robert Roode. Two of my favorite guys in the company, hard to pick a winner here. Wow, 12 years pro for Roode, which is just surprising he’s been a pro longer then Angle! Homicide sneak attacks Roode before the bell. Homicide whips in Roode who comes back with the clothesline; Homicide rolls out of the ring and drags Roode out. Homicide gets the advantage and rolls Roode back in the ring. Homicide with a corner clothesline, Roode tosses hard to the other corner as Homicide poses. Homicide hits a series of knees to the back and locks in the Asiatic Spike, ala Ernie Ladd! Just as I type it, Tazz says it! Homicide with a jumping elbow to the face of Robert for a two count. Homicide goes for the Cutter; Roode reverses into tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Roode finally gets the advantage, hit with the knee though. Homicide can’t get Roode up for the Gringo Killer, but can’t do it, Roode tries for the fisherman Suplex, can’t hit it. Homicide runs in and hit with a spine buster for the surprise three count. 4/5 that was another great match, great work from two talented athletes. Homicide goes after the producer with a chair; Tenay and Tazz get in the middle. Homicide throwing a chair around as we go to commercial. We come back to a music video for some reason. Singer looks like former backstage announcer Goldilocks, is it? Sounds a lot like Hole, L7, Veruca Salt and all the other female grunge bands of the 80’s.

7. Knockout Battle Royal. You got to love the TNA Knockouts, so many beautiful and talented woman in TNA. Here comes my favorite Taylor Wilde along with Sarita. The two best looking women in TNA! Looks like ten knockouts in the battle royal; only one missing is Kong, as ODB is the referee for the match. Wonder why no Kong in the match for a number one contender. Zombie hot Daffney first one eliminated by Hamada only seconds in. Traci deposited on the apron by Alissa Flash, as the slug it out. Taylor and Sarita push Flash on the apron and double dropkick both ladies out. Commercial break, we come back and Lacey out during the break by Tara. Sarita out by the Beautiful People, Hamada and Taylor both go out together, damn. We’re down to Velvet, Madison and Tara. Gee, wonder who’s going to win now? Tara flips Madison to the apron and Velvet accidentally knocks Madison down to the ground. Tara catches Velvet in mid springboard with a big kick knocking Velvet out. Tara wins the battle royal and has her hand raised by ODB. There’s our Knockout match at the next PPV. 3.5/5 not a bad battle royal, typical for the woman as they don’t get a lot of time. Would’ve been better had Taylor won the match. Yeah, I’m not recapping the Hulk Hogan promo. Mick Foley backstage with Scott Steiner who’s yelling at a wardrobe person to make more Main Event Mafia clothes. Mick tells Scott that Kurt said the Mafia is dead, and then asks Scott about Hulk. Scott says name the smartest person you know, Mick is bleeped and Scott says times that by 10. Foley then asks Scott who Hulk is coming with and Scott doesn’t know. Mick continues his travels and finds Nash and Eric Young. Nash asks if he has the money he owes him, Mick says no and goes over his finances. Mick asks about Hulk again and Nash gives one name, Virgil! Nash says no, just kidding, it’s Disciple, just kidding again. Foley asks about Hall, and Nash says make sense. Mick says the company is going in the wrong direction. Nash says if Knobbs come in he quits, can’t blame him on that. Nash says as soon as he knows something he’ll tell Foley

8. Desmond Wolfe v. Lashley. Well this is a problem, which new guy is going to job to face Angle in the finals, it’s a given Roode is not beating Angle. Am I the only one who thinks Lashley is over rated and really doesn’t need to be there, Abyss got screwed? Lashley with a quick full nelson, ok, whatever there. Lashley has such a limited ability it’s pathetic to watch. Desmond goes to the arm and Lashley reverses. This is going to be a much slower match then Desmond’s first round match. Lashley with a wrist lock, not a wrist watch, Desmond gets Lashley to the ropes and hits an elbow to the face after Lashley breaks. Desmond with the Cobra Clutch move again, this is looking like a lame UFC match with all these submissions. Lashley reverses back to the wrist lock; Desmond reverses that and chokes Lashley in the corner. Desmond goes for the elbow in the corner, Lashley moves, and spear and stomach breaker from Bobby. Full nelson slam from Lashley, Lashley goes for a Suplex and Desmond snaps the arm. Desmond goes for the Tower of London, Lashley reverses to dragon sleeper, and Desmond has the ropes. Desmond snaps Lashley on the ropes and does the arm bar in the ropes. Desmond refuses to release the hold and Desmond get’s disqualified. 1/5 that was a crappy finish to a slow boring match, it was worse than a Viscera match! Lauren backstage with Lashley and Krystal, Krystal grabs the microphone sparing us listening to Lashley talk.

9. Robert Roode v. Kurt Angle. Well, unless Desmond screws Angle over we get Angle and Lashley in the finals. Either way I think Lashley is sadly going to win this tournament, not what I wanted to see. From the three guys left, I’d like to see Roode win, he’s been in TNA longest and deserves a couple big wins like this. Angle starts with a headlock followed by a shoulder block. Roode answers with a shoulder block of his own. Angle gets Roode in the corner and lays a couple shots on him; Roode gets a few shots back, but then gets caught with a boot to the face. Roode with a slam and splash for a near fall. Roode chops Angle in the corner and hits the “Curt Henning” jumping neck snap, which just makes me miss Mr. Perfect. Roode tossed out, Kurt follows and slams Roode’s head into the steps, both men in the ring now. Angle with a snap Suplex and locks in a reverse gut wrench. Angle with the overhead belly to belly and only gets two, surprisingly. Angle locks in the body scissors, as Roode escapes Angle to the headlock. Robert able to get out of, Roode catches Angle running into the corner and hits a blockbuster from the top rope. I love that move, both guys are down. Roode able to hit a flying forearm like Tito Santana for another close count. Angle slides into the ankle lock, Roode out and spine buster same way he beat Homicide earlier, but only a two count. Roode tries for the Suplex; Angle reverses to the German Suplex. Kurt Angle goes for the Angle slam, but Roode avoids hit, runs at Angle and hits the buckle, Angle Slam and Roode kicks out. Desmond comes out and Kurt takes off after Desmond, Angle not paying attention and gets counted out and Roode goes to finals to job to Lashley. 3.75/5 another great match tonight and glad to see Roode score the win, would’ve rather been a clean pin, but we’ll take what we get. Speaking of what we get, another freaking music video, what is TNA now sponsored by MTV? What a waste of time these videos are, could’ve given this time to the knockouts.

10. The champ is here, as AJ Styles is introduced to a huge ovation as always. Here’s a real world champion who deserves to be on top, as opposed to the WWE champions. AJ starts to talk and Daniels music hits. Daniels comes out and makes fun of AJ’s friendship with Sting. Daniels says he’s been a better friend to AJ then AJ was to him. He asks AJ where was his friend when he lost his job for 16 months, when he was playing Curry Man! AJ tries to explain and Daniels cuts him off. Daniels says he had to chance to win the title last month and AJ stabbed him in the back. Fans chant “Shut Up” at Daniels and he yells at the crowd saying you know he’s right. Daniels says he’s the better wrestler the AJ is and that’s why AJ was his friend, because he didn’t want him as an enemy. Daniels says the friendship was an anchor and now they are enemies and Daniels says AJ can tell his wife and kid’s Uncle Chris is sorry. AJ says his family will find out what Uncle Chris is all about and Daniels will find out what AJ is all about. This is going to be an easy match of the year, can’t wait to see it. Lauren backstage with Robert Roode and James Storm. Roode says he has respect for Lashley, but he’s going out there for not only himself but his partner as well. Roode tells Lashley to bring his best; because in a few minutes he’s going to find out it pays to be Roode!

11. Robert Roode v. Bobby Lashley. Well, I really don’t see Lashley jobbing to Roode here, so I’ll be really surprised if Robert can pull this off. Lashley uses his power to get Roode in the corner and we get a clean break. Lashley powers Roode down and goes for the dragon sleeper, Roode quickly to the ropes. Lashley hits a shoulder block and then looks confused, Lashley leapfrogs Roode and hits back elbow. Lashley drops an elbow and tries for the pin, but Roode kicks out. Roode tries to go over Lashley and gets caught, Roode slides out and hits Lashley with the arm breaker thing that Desmond did earlier. Commercial break and we come back to Lashley powering back to the advantage as Roode had the advantage during the commercial. Roode works the arm in the corner right in front of Krystal. Roode with a Fujiwara Arm Bar on Lashley, Lashley just barely able to get the ropes. Roode continues to pound on the big man, Roode makes the mistake of coming off the ropes as Lashley hits a full nelson slam. Lashley with a series of clotheslines and a one hand spine buster for a two count. Lashley puts Roode on the shoulder but Roode slides out and hits an arm breaker and almost scores the win. Lashley with a backdrop on Roode, Roode gets up and moves out of the way of the spear. Roode hits the fisherman Suplex and Lashley kicks out, damn. Roode to the second rope and misses the blockbuster and Lashley with a spear and the win. Crap, now we get Lashley v. AJ for the belt, I don’t want to see that. 3.5/5 Roode able to carry Lashley to a good match, but the wrong guy won. TNA wasted money on Lashley as I don’t think he’s the guy to be facing the champ. Never liked him in WWE and don’t like him in TNA.

Match Recap
1. Abyss lost to Lashley 2.5/5
2. Desmond Wolfe over Suicide 2/5
3. D’Angelo Dinero pinned by Kurt Angle 4/5
4. Homicide lost to Robert Roode 4/5
5. Knockout Battle Royal won by Tara 3.5/5
6. Desmond Wolfe disqualified against Lashley 1/5
7. Robert Roode beat Kurt Angle by count out 3.75/5
8. Lashley pinned Robert Roode 3.5/5

All in all a great show from TNA other than one match. The Angle/Dinero and Homicide/Roode matches made up for that. Five out of eight match got 3.5 or better, so to me that’s a great episode. I got Superstars finally, so that’s coming up next, either later today or tomorrow.

Long Live for Long Skirts

tipsterbox — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:49:53 +0000

Should there be a trend that never goes out of fashion, it would be the passion for long skirt. It’s one of the classics in clothing style that never dies.

Every now and then, fashion industry introduces an in-thing on wardrobe. Vintage, retro, and rockabilly styles took most part of 1950s; Victorian and hippy clothes in 1960s; punks in 1970s; hip hops in 1980s and 1990s; and in 2000s, anything goes with a touch of futuristic and techno designs.

But no matter how these styles flooded every one’s closet, for women, the fervor for long skirt never fades. In fashion runways, fashion designers and trend aficionados never miss those modish long skirts. With all the styles and designs introduced, long skirts had overcome the tests of time over the passed centuries. Women from all walks of life wore them in their own choice of fabrics and cuts, simply non-decorated or embroidered with sequins, beads, and laces.

Looking at different perspectives, women have implicit and obvious reasons for having long skirts their passion.

As apparel, long skirt is the most modest today. Almost all types of clothing one can see in most women nowadays reveal delicate parts of the body, enticing something unethical and immoral thoughts and acts. With long skirt, a woman can keep secret what must be kept in secret.

At present, long skirts are considered trendsetters. But for people who have worn them first, they are for protection. They wore them very long and loose-fitting. It was not in 19th and 20th centuries only that long skirts were introduced. Even women in the ancient times such as the Israelites, wore long skirts mainly for protection and obedience to a commandment given to them – not to wear clothing that are of men.

Long skirt is more than a fashion material. It plays a vital role in gender identification. Because its creation was primarily intended for women, it gives everybody an impression that someone wearing a long skirt is a woman. Long skirts accentuate a woman’s femininity and help to easily distinguish a female from a male.

Women’s passion for long skirt is beyond fashion. As long as a woman exists, there will be a trend for long skirts.

Sisterlocks and Tabaski

Adaeze — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:16:58 +0000

A while ago, on a another post on this blog, I talked about what hairstyle I was going to choose to celebrate Tabaski (Tobaski as it is called in Gambia, West Africa) or Eid El Adha as it is known in other parts of the Muslim world. But since the Muslim part of my family is from West Africa, I am going to use “Tabaski” as the terminology since that is what it is called in most of West frica. Just to recap a little, Tabaski is the Muslim celebration to welcome the New Year and involves the sacrifice of a lamb, sheep, ram, or goat to symbolize when Ibrahim (Abraham) was willing to sacrifice his own son at Allah’s (God’s) will. The animal is sacrificed, prepared and then shared with all who come by no matter if they are Muslim or not. Blessings and gifts (usually for the children) are exchanged, the food is shared and as the sun goes down, bellies are full and content. Even though, I am not Muslim and even though the Muslim part of my family does not live in the US with me, I still had wanted to celebrate it with them here in my own small way. It makes me feel connected to them. I decided to get dressed up and fix my hair and then go out and see a friend and celebrate being with other people. We just had Thanksgiving on Thursday but I never get tired of being in the company of people who care about me and whom I care about as well. So, I started first by prepping my hair and parting it on Thursday night when I returned from Thanksgiving dinner at my friend Amie’s house. I put the sisterlocks into Bantu knots, spritzed with water, and let them down the next day on Friday an hour before I went out. As you can ascertain by now, my style for the sisterlocks has pretty much stayed the same since the beginning of this blog. Why the same style, you might ask? Well, having had traditional locks for 17 years before getting sisterlocks, I know that in the beginning while the locks are short if I want to have really curly, curly locks, I will need to always put them in Bantu knots. Braiding them when they are wet, letting them air dry and taking them out, does not have the same curly look for me. It is more of a wavy look with the locks having less body. When I first take down the Bantu knots, my sisterlocks are very stiff and tightly curled as you can see in the picture below.

I spend a great deal of time trying to fluff them out but to no success since they have a mind of their own and seem to be battling gravity and winning at it, too. The sisterlocks do not stay elongated for long but seem to scrunch up as soon as I look away. I know in a couple days they will fall but for the moment that means I am rocking a sweet little sisterlocks afro or what I call my pixie look stage.

And since I love EVERY stage of having locks, this stage is just one more to enjoy. I love the versatility of sisterlocks, even though I am relegated to one style I really like which is Bantu knots-wet-air-dry-take-down-and-fluff-out style. I am not into the freestyle look since I love body and volume in my hair. I was not into that look when I had traditional locks and I am not into it now that I have sisterlocks. And since now, the sisterlocks were done, I was ready to go celebrate Tabaski with a close friend of mine and her family. She thought I was just coming over to say hi after the Thanksgiving holidays but I knew I was coming over to be with a good friend and silently wish her and her family the best for the New Year. Of course, like me she is Christian and will celebrate the New Year January 1st but I get the great chance of celebrating two New Years with people in the US and people in West Africa. Life is wonderful! Happy Tabaski or Eid Mubarak!

Cheers, Adaeze

Another obsession! I’m literally addicted in color pink. As in! Hot pink, pale pink, cotton candy pink, shocking pink everything as long it has the touch of pink. Why pink?? For me, pink is a feminine color. It is a color of all things that are fun about being a girl. Pink to me represents the right to be a girl, to be your self to speak freely and out loud. Some people hate it while others are obsessed with it just like my case. It represents my dream world. I feel childish about this and a little silly. It bothers me when people dislike pink, it’s like they’re subconsciously rebelling against youthful femininity or something. I love being a girl, so I love pink, and I always will.

My room is also pink, and so as my bed and the floor. Most of my things and shirts are pink. Actually, I’m wearing pink right now. *cheers* I spend a lot of money collecting pink stuff ( dress, bags, shoes, accesories, etc.)

*cheers*

A cold and windy morning had me pulling for sweaters in both lives. I had completely forgotten this great cowlneck from Casa del Shai and had to wear it around on such a blah day.

I don’t know when it happened, but SN@TCH has turned into my go-to JEANS store. I have tons of jeans from there and she just keeps churning out such fun jeans, I can’t stop loving them. NEVER STOP MAKING JEANS! I added the TRASH HEELS also from SN@TCH because they are serious shoe fun.

Layered Hair Styles - For a More Sophisticated Look!

jaydcaswell1234 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 03:53:12 +0000

Layered hair styles are versatile, trendy, and sophisticated. Whether you have long or short hair, bobs or shoulder tresses, layers can work for a vast majority of people and on many hairstyles. The reason for its versatility is based on the fact that layers can be customized to mesh well with a person’s hairstyle and shape of face.

Apart from its versatility, layers have many other advantages. For instance, adding layers can modernize an old style without too drastic of a change, and layers can be both flirty and elegant, making them appropriate for any age. What’s more is that different layers can add natural volume to hair your hair without the use of chemicals and layers can also help hair that is damaged by split ends since layering requires cutting these split and broken ends off. This gives hair a more polished appearance. Creating layers can lighten very thick, heavy hair, allowing its natural waves to appear in medium and long styles and layering can be of particular advantage for those who suffer from migraine headaches since layering can give some relief with the lighter styles it creates.

But while layered hair can work well with most types of hair and hairstyles, there are some drawbacks that you may want to evaluate before layering your hair. Firstly, very curly hair does not layer well, because the shorter layers tend to curl too much and this disrupts the layered look creating a scruffy appearance. Secondly, folks who like to change their styles frequently may not want to have their hair layered as it can take quite a while to grow out them out, depending on how fast your hair grows and how short your layers are.

The best way to grow out layers is to keep the bottom layer at an unchanging length, allowing the upper layers time to catch up with it. But it can get very boring and tedious and many people get frustrated by the wait and work. Also, if layers are done in such a way as to enhance the shape of your face it can make your features stand out too starkly. And while layers can be cut in many different lengths, the best range for layers is to keep them below the earlobe on long hair and below the eye on short hair, otherwise they may look out of control.

Overall, layered hair works for most people. It adds shape, volume, texture and structure to hair, but as with any hairstyle, it’s probably wiser if you sought some professional assistance before deciding to layer your hair.

Gotas de agua

violetbaggins — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 23:31:21 +0000

Como crear el efecto de gotas de agua sobre una superficie usando estilos de capa.

Para empezar, abrimos esta imagen. No le puse link por que el tamaño es el real. Solo hagan click derecho sobre la imagen y pongan guardar como.

Creamos una nueva capa en Photoshop y con un pincel redondo dibujamos circulos negros en esta nueva capa. Usamos diferentes tamaños y tratamos de lograr algo como esto:

Obvio las gotas de agua no son un circulo perfecto asi que vamos a deformarlas un poco usando un filtro. Vamos a Filtro / Distorsionar / Onda (Filter / Distort / Wave) y aplicamos los valores que se muestran a continuacion.

NOTA: cuando quieran escribir el N° 50 en amplitud, primero tienen que escribir el de la segunda casilla y luego el de la primera, sino no los va a dejar.

Ya tenemos las gotas deformadas. Doble click en la capa o click derecho y vamos a las opciones de fusion. En la primer para tenemos que poner en modo de fusion: Trama (screen) como muestra la imagen

Ahora seguimos con Sombra paralela (Drop Shadow)

Dejamos el modo en Multiply. Opacity: 14. Angulo 90. Distancia: 5. Extender: 4 y tamaño:4

SIN APRETAR OK vamos al siguiente item: Sombra Interior (Inner Shadow)

Ahora Resplandor interior (Inner Glow)

y por ultimo Bisel y Relieve (Bevel and Emboss):

TODAVIA NO APRIETEN OK!!!! ESPEREN!! Antes de eso vamos a guardar todos estos valores en un Estilo. Justo abajo del boton OK y Cancelar tenemos el que dice “Estilo Nuevo” (New Style). Hacemos click en ese boton y guardamos todos estos valores para que podamos usar este efecto cuando queramos.

Pueden ponerle el nombre que quieran. Una vez que terminamos esto, pueden apretar ok.

Como veran las manchas negras ya se transformaron en gotas. Muy lindo pero no dicen nada. Una opcion mas usable seria que el texto duera de agua.

Ponemos la capa de las gotas como no visible (haciendo click en el ojito que esta al costado de la capa). Seleccionamos la herramienta de texto y escribimos alguna palabra.

Ahora, otra vez a poner los valores para el agua!! jajaj no, mentira. Como ya guardamos el estilo lo unico que tenemos que hacer es ir a Ventana / Estilos (window / Style)

Se nos abre un panel con varios estilos que ya viene predeterminados en PS. Si tienen ganas pueden experimentar con todos viendo que efecto producen, mas tarde. Ahora estamos con el de agua, que esta abajo de todo (yo lo remarque) Simplemente hacen clik en ese estilo y ya esta.

Lo bueno es que el estilo se lo aplicamos a la capa de texto por ende si queremos cambiar lo que dice el texto lo podemos hacer sin perder el efecto. Para cambiar el texto seleccionen la herramienta de texto y hagan click justo sobre el, ahi lo va a habilitar para cambiarlo.

Y listo!

Si quieren el archivo PSD bajenlo asi ya tiene el estilo armado, lo unico que tienen que hacer es abrir las opciones de fusion y guardar el estilo como mostre anteriormente.

Si quieren estar al tanto de los tutoriales nuevos que se postean pueden seguirlos en la pagina de Violet Tuts en Facebook o seguirlos por Twitter@violetbaggins

Saludos!

Emo Hair And Scene

marvinhkolp1234 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:15:44 +0000

› Emo Clothing

By almost all current definitions, emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) often brushed to one side of the face, dyed black, straightened hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands, studded belts, belt buckles, Chuck Taylor All-Stars, skate shoes, or other black shoes often old and beaten up and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses.

› Emo Fashion

Emo fashion has changed with time; early trends included haircuts similar to those worn by the Romulans and Vulcans in Star Trek, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets (often called gas station jackets).

› Emo Hairstyles & Haircuts

Here is guide of how you can get emo hair. This goes for girls and also for boys! Let your hair grow in the front and side parts so they cover your face. In the back you can let it short and spike it up with gel! Some do that, some don’t! If you have short hair, the first months are going to be a pain, because you won’t be able to make your hair look “emo”. As it grows, comb it towards an eye in the direction that you want. After 3 or 4 months, When the fringe reaches 3/4 of the way down your forehead, go to a hair dresser that looks professional, and get it thinned out and have it trimmed so that it will grow in the right shape. Either if you’re a boy or girl, you’ll need to straighten your hair, with either an iron or gel. If your hair is wavy, just use hairspray/gel to weigh it down. I suggest buying an hair straightening iron and use a a good moisturizing shampoo to prevent your hair from getting damaged. Tip: If you wash your hair too much, this can dry it out; that doesn’t mean you don’t have to wash it at all, bleah. If you consider dyeing your hair, dye it black. The other colors are not so cool and you’ll look like a clown, in my opinion. After 3 or 4 months, your hair should look like you want. From that point, you should go to the hair stylist monthly for your hair to be thinned and stuff.
