Do you love or hate freshly washed jeans?

tbh I kinda hate it when I freshly wash my jeans because when I put them on they are extra tight and I gotta loosen them up again through out the day!!! haha.



What about you?Do you love or hate freshly washed jeans?
I agree, they're a bit too tight when they've been washed and the comfy texture is gone. I only wash them if I get a noticeable stain on them or something. Then you have to 'break them in' all over again

What happened at the Battle of Midway?

Could someone please tell me what happened (briefly) at the Battle of Midway as I am doing a project and I am finding it quite hard to shorten it down into a brief power point.



N.B.- If you could also structure your answer into each day e.g. what happened to the 4th of June, 5th of June etc. that would be useful but any answer will help me anyway.What happened at the Battle of Midway?
The Battle



Just after midnight on 4 June, Admiral Nimitz, based on patrol plane reports, advised Task Forces 16 and 17 of the course and speed of the Japanese "main body," also noting their distance of 574 miles from Midway. Shortly after dawn, a patrol plane spotted two Japanese carriers and their escorts, reporting "Many planes heading Midway from 320 degrees distant 150 miles!"



The first attack on 4 June, however, took place when the four night-flying PBYs attacked the Japanese transports northwest of Midway with one PBY torpedoing fleet tanker Akebono Maru. Later that morning, at roughly 0630, Aichi D3A ("Val") carrier bombers and Nakajima B5N ("Kate") torpedo planes, supported by numerous fighters ("Zekes"), bombed Midway Island installations. Although defending U.S. Marine Corps Brewster F2A ("Buffalo") and Grumman F4F ("Wildcat") fighters suffered disastrous losses, losing 17 of 26 aloft, the Japanese only inflicted slight damage to the facilities on Midway. Motor Torpedo Boat PT-25 was also damaged by strafing in Midway lagoon.



Over the next two hours, Japanese "Zekes" on Combat Air Patrol (CAP) and antiaircraft fire from the Japanese fleet annihilated the repeated attacks by the American aircraft from Marine Corps Douglas SBD ("Dauntless") and Vought SB2U ("Vindicator") scout bombers from VMSB-241, Navy Grumman TBF ("Avenger") torpedo bombers from VT-8 detachment, and U. S. Army Air Force torpedo-carrying Martin B-26 ("Marauder") bombers sent out to attack the Japanese carriers. Army Air Force "Flying Fortresses" likewise bombed the Japanese carrier force without success, although without losses to themselves.



Between 0930 and 1030, Douglas TBD ("Devastator") torpedo bombers from VT 3, VT-6, and VT-8 on the three American carriers attacked the Japanese carriers. Although nearly wiped out by the defending Japanese fighters and antiaircraft fire, they drew off enemy fighters, leaving the skies open for dive bombers from Enterprise and Yorktown. VB-6 and VS-6 "Dauntlesses" from Enterprise bombed and fatally damaged carriers Kaga and Akagi, while VB-3 "Dauntlesses" from Yorktown bombed and wrecked carrier Soryu. American submarine Nautilus (SS-168) then fired torpedoes at the burning Kaga but her torpedoes did not explode.



At 1100, the one Japanese carrier that escaped destruction that morning, Hiryu, launched "Val" dive bombers that temporarily disabled Yorktown around noon. Three and a half hours later, Hiryu's "Kate" torpedo planes struck a second blow, forcing Yorktown's abandonment. In return, "Dauntlesses" from Enterprise mortally damaged Hiryu in a strike around 1700 that afternoon. The destruction of the Carrier Strike Force compelled Admiral Yamamoto to abandon his Midway invasion plans, and the Japanese Fleet began to retire westward.



During the battle, Japanese destroyers had picked up three U.S. naval aviators from the water. After interrogation, however, all three Americans were murdered. One TBD pilot, Lieutenant George Gay escaped detection by the Japanese ships and was later rescued by a PBY.



On 5 June, TF 16 under command of Rear Admiral Spruance pursued the Japanese fleet westward, while work continued to salvage the damaged Yorktown. Both Akagi and Hiryu, damaged the previous day, were scuttled by Japanese destroyers early on the 5th.



The last air attacks of the battle took place on 6 June when dive bombers from Enterprise and Hornet bombed and sank heavy cruiser Mikuma, and damaged destroyers Asashio and Arashio,as well as the cruiser Mogami. At Admiral Spruance's expressed orders, issued because of the destruction of three torpedo squadrons on 4 June, "Devastators" from VT-6 that accompanied the strike did not attack because of the threat to them from surface antiaircraft fire. After recovering these planes, TF 16 turned eastward and broke off contact with the enemy. COMINT intercepts over the following two days documented the withdrawal of Japanese forces toward Saipan and the Home Islands.



Meanwhile, on the 6th, Japanese submarine I-168 interrupted the U.S. salvage operations, torpedoing Yorktown and torpedoing and sinking destroyer USS Hammann (DD-412). Screening destroyers depth-charged I-168 but the Japanese submarine escaped destruction. Yorktown, suffering from numerous torpedo hits, finally rolled over and sank at dawn on 7 June.What happened at the Battle of Midway?

  • What are the best, cheapest and most damage-free ways to straighten black hair?

    My mom has been using a hot comb for years but that isn't an option anymore. Her hair is short (hangs around her neck when straightened) and very soft. It usually doesn't hold a curl or straighten for more than a day or so but that's all she only needs it for a few hours this time (possibly overnite as well)

    What would be the way that she could do her hair herself without having to buy a lot of expensive products or hurting her hair.



    Thanks!What are the best, cheapest and most damage-free ways to straighten black hair?
    Maybe she could try roller setting it. If her hair is natural, it probably won't make it bone straight but it WILL be a lot straighter. There are some good tutorials on how to roller set natural hair on youtube. Other than roller sets, there's really no other way to get it straight without damaging it. Maybe she can try wearing wigs for like 6 months so her real hair can get back health. Then, after it gets back healthy, maybe she can press it out once every two weeks. I forgot to add that she should start taking care of her hair with washing, conditioning, deep conditioning, moisturizing it, wearing satin bonnets to sleep, get her ends trimmed. After 6 months, her hair will not only be able to hold a curl but it will much healthier and longer. But, remember, make sure she only applies heat every two weeks and make sure to use a heat protectant. Also, you can go to sites like: curlynikki.com, longhaircareforum,.com, and blackhairmedia,com



    Those sites will tell you everything you need to know about taking care of hair. Hope this helps!

    What does it mean if a guy doesn't text back?

    I've been seeing a guy since just before christmas, we get on really well and I've known him for a good number of years. He said he feels we have a lot in common and things are always so good when we're around eachother. I've met his parents and some of his friends, and I had a friend request on facebook from one of his friends. I asked him who it was and he said 'a good friend of mine, I was telling him about you the other day'

    He's never been a big texter but on saturday he replied with a really short text with no kisses on and I've not heard from him since. I text him on Monday to ask if we could do something this week and again no reply at all. What's going on? Should I assume it's all over? I don't want to text him again because I'll look desperate. Things were so good and now he's just cut off contact.What does it mean if a guy doesn't text back?
    He is rude. Rule of thumb when it comes to guys: Don't believe what they tell you... Believe how they treat you. Actions speak louder than words. Do not invest your time, energy or feelings in people that don't treat you with the same consideration that you treat them. You will be setting yourself up to be mistreated. Surround yourself with people that treat you the way you feel you deserve to be treated and that don't mess with your head and your heart.What does it mean if a guy doesn't text back?
    He sounds like a typical teenage boy. If he's not a teenager then he's acting like it. Don't text him again, just leave it for now. You never know what the future holds, maybe he'll come crawling back or maybe you'll find mr right. He definitely doesn't sound like mr right if he treats you like this.

    However he may have lost his phone, got no credit, maybe he's grounded and momma took his phone. Who knows there are lots of possibilities but it's best to distract yourself with other guys, that'll make him sorry ;)

    Hi, does anyone know what trim does the Chevy Malibu come in on Hertz rentals?

    Hi all,



    I am planning to get a rental Chevy Malibu from Hertz and I was just wondering if anyone knows what trim they come in? I'm pretty sure the whole Hertz fleets' Malibu's are in one standardized trim but I just can't figure out what it is.



    The reason I am asking is because I would like to estimate my fuel costs and for that, I would require the vehicle's MPG and since I am unsure if it's the 2.4 I4 or the 3.6 V6, it's hard for me to do estimates.



    A quick search on Google notes that Hertz is selling used rentals and they are all of the I4 variant. However, on the Hertz website under it's vehicle guide, the details for the Malibu mentions that it's the V6 variant and it does 25MPG (highway), which is consistent with the rated MPG for the V6 Malibu on Chevy's website.



    If there is anyone out there who would be kind enough to provide me with this little bit of information, I would be much grateful.



    Thank you have have a great day!



    Best regards.Hi, does anyone know what trim does the Chevy Malibu come in on Hertz rentals?
    The V6 is still very fuel efficient. I would try to get that option because you will want the added power. Most likely, they will give you the 4 banger unless you request otherwise. They tend to provide the base (cheapest) models to save money.Hi, does anyone know what trim does the Chevy Malibu come in on Hertz rentals?
    They buy what are called "program cars". Each batch will have slightly different options. If you are considering buying one of these cars, you will just have to look and see if it's the options that you want. The 4cyl's get slightly better fuel mileage than the 6cyl models. As for miles to the gallon, you will just have to drive the vehicle and calculate it from there. There are a lot of options that come into play considering fuel mileage such as tuning and maintenance of the vehicle to how your driving habits are. If you want to know the specific trim options for any GM car, you can take the VIN# from the vehicle and call any GM dealers parts department and they can give you a listing of every option that the car came out of the factory with.Hi, does anyone know what trim does the Chevy Malibu come in on Hertz rentals?
    The easiest and quickest way to get the information you need is to call the Hertz location you will be renting the Malibu from. Ask them the trim level. It's possible the location you're renting from may not even have any Malibus available.
