asian_beauty [ thesqueaktoy ]	3:58p	Hair dryer recommendations please So I was blow-drying my hair this morning and my hair dryer made a loud "pop" noise, stopped blowing air and started smoking. -___- Then later my boyfriend wanted to check to make sure it was really broken (as if my telling him that it started producing smoke wasn't enough), plugged it in, turned it own and lo and behold I now own what could be a small flamethrower if I just add some flammable spray. I've been wanting to upgrade my hairdryer for a little while now, since my hairdryer was some cheap one I bought almost six years ago for $10, but now I really need to so I was wondering what hairdryers you ladies use. Also, what sort of features it has (multiple heat settings, removable filter, retractable cord, etc.). Thanks in advance ladies!

islam_feminism [ hushdawg ]	12:02p	Featuring the Literary Works of Linda “iLham” Barto, Author and Illustrator. http://lit-by-linda.com/ Is the only site where you can get autographed copies of the following books: ( Three Books by a Muslim-American author for readers of all faiths. ) All of these books are written by a southern American woman who converted to Islam later in life. Her wealth of experiences as a wife, mother, former Christian and retired Air Force Sergeant have all colored her understanding and interpretation/application of Islam in modern life. Far from the hyper-conservative scholarly texts you may be used to, Linda's approach is comprehensive and understandable for the common person and provides real sensibilities in a pragmatic approach. Her forthcoming book will be added to the website by March 2010. (Comment on this)

foreignfriends [ princess_macaw ]	2:25p	Greetings from Sevastopol, Ukraine:) Macaw, 25, a copywriter, live in Ukraine, in a beautiful place Crimea, Sevastopol city. Two times I've dropped my English journal, but now I hope to post regularly. I'm horribly internet-addict and now try to manage my time in a better way. Think I'll write much about it... One of the reasons for making this LJ is the wish to improve my English skills, so comments are always welcome! I'll post many photos of Crimea and Sevastopol and many other pics. A bit more about me you can learn from my profile. I like sitting in the net:)) going out with my friends, reading, cooking, shopping, sleeping. Music: depends on my mood. Now I love Serbian singer Ceca, also I listen Rammstein, techno, some things of Madonna, like live concerts of classical music. TV: almost don't watch. Yep, I even haven't seen the "House":) Hobbies: now - making renovation in my flat ^_^ Parrots I find to be the best creatures in the world! (have none at that moment but plan to take) Sometimes I write short stories (though, in Russian) and dream one moment I could be not so lazy to start a book:) I speak German either so you can practice if you want.

lj_maintenance [ mhwest ]	1:15p	Notification System **FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009** So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything. And finally some answers to some questions: ( Read More and Get Some Answers... ) Current Mood: grumpy (603 Comments |Comment on this)
