California Proposition 65 WARNING
Revenge Smoke Bombs are used in rodent burrows as a suffocating vapor smoke. This gassing method may be used for moles, gophers, woodchucks, rats, squirrels and skunks.
Prior To Application
Carefully observe areas to be treated. Apply cartridges only to burrow systems or dens currently being used by target species. Do not apply cartridges to burrows or dens known or believed to contain non-target vertebrate animals. Do not use cartridges where vegetation is dry and likely to catch fire.
Application Steps
Do not use in, under, or near buildings, homes, porches or any structure.
Woodchucks: Locate all entrances. Select one for treatment and close all other entrances with rock or dirt. Follow Application Steps 1-6 on label, Consult state game laws before using this product for woodchuck control.
Pocket Gophers:
Burrow Preparation - Locate a characteristic fan-shaped soil mound with signs of recent activity (e.g., recently excavated soil) at plugged burrow entrances.
Determine if burrow is active by removing soil plug from center of each burrow entrance. Return the next day to see if the burrow opening has been re-plugged, indicating active use by a pocket gopher. DO NOT treat burrows that remain unplugged. Find the horseshoe-shaped depression on one side of the plugged mound. Locate the main runway by probing the ground 15-18" (38-46cm) from the mound, starting on the same side as the depression. The main runway has been located when friction on the probe is released and it falls into the runway. Using a shovel or trowel, dig down to the main runway, taking care not to block it with soil, to create a hole. Follow Application Steps 1-6 [on label]. Treat all active mounds. One cartridge placed in the end of a runway should be sufficient. One or more additional cartridges should be used if treatment takes place in the middle of runway or if runway is "T-shaped" to reach pocket gophers that may be on the untreated side of the plugged runway. Re-treat in 5-7 days if new or residual activity appears.

Gaslighting: A False Reality
Article Summary By Michael Estlack, Director of Connectivity
What happens when your partner denies reality, and then you feel like you are losing your mind because you know that they are being dishonest? You may be a victim of "gaslighting".
"Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where one partner persistently denies the reality of the other partner (via consistent lying, bullying, and obfuscating the facts), causing that person, over time, to doubt her (or his) perception of truth, facts, and reality," says Rob Weiss, international Sexual Health expert, in a recent blog post.
Gaslighting is very similar to folie à deux, a psychiatric syndrome meaning "madness of two". However, folie à deux is different in that partners who gaslight are aware of that lies they are telling. Gaslighting is common because the partner wants to get away with their negative behavior. So, they lie and manipulate their partner into believing a false reality.
Gaslighting occurs to everyone, not just partners who are weak or who have low self-esteem. Partners are inclined to believe their loved ones during these particular instances because of the emotional connection they have with them. It's human nature to trust those you love.
Do you believe you are a victim of Gaslighting? Let our experts at SHAW Center for Healing help you heal and grow into a healthier relationship with your loved one.

Pattaya offers many Pattaya Prestige Properties suites that can be rented and purchased. There are several reasons why outsiders buy apartment suites in Pattaya, but the main reason is that outsiders cannot own land. Having a townhouse is the best way to own land in Thailand today.
Like a real will, the purchase of primary value is in the condo area regardless of where someone buys the land. The closer the condo is to the ocean, and the more amazing the scenery, the higher the price. Many people believe that condominiums with sea views are very expensive but that is not really the case in Pattaya.
There are Pattaya Prestige Properties suites available for purchase at prices below one million Baht or around $ 30,000 depending on conversion standards during the procurement season. For a condo near the coastline in an extraordinary area like Pattaya, it's not big cash. Thailand is an attractive choice for retirees because of the minimal lodging and living efforts.

If it regards your leather mattress cover twin, staying luxury and elaborate may be nice plus point. However, it can not afford each one of the costly, luxury furniture, so you can hack it that your room can seem counter-intuitive without needing to spend an excessive amount of money. You are able to use fancy sheets, coverings, and pillowcases so they create an eccentric accent in your mattress. You can also utilize secondhand furniture which still useable and also looks good for your best mattress covers. Once more, getting elaborate is not about expensive furniture. You may hack your room to look skinnier by adding little details with a excellent sense of style.
As soon as the fundamental necessities are settled, it is possible to move to more detail-oriented leather mattress cover twin. You are able to always set up your mattress depending on your requirements. If you adore relaxing, you may want additional cot mattress cover, including a seat. This wayyou may enjoy the scene from the balcony whilst sipping on your wine, such as. But if you like placing on a makeup prior to going anywhere, then a huge mirror together side the dining table. This could function like a sweetener, even should you choose a unique one, with early engraves. You may even get some ottomans for additional seating, just in the event you've got many friends to rest again. You are able to always put it under the mattress, the same as a twin mattress, therefore it's not going to use up much distance.
The other leather mattress cover twin you can decide on is wintertime wonderland having a candy bit of burgundy. The mix of red and white wine may almost make your twin mattress cover slip-on look luxurious and elegant. You can start using a heap of lush tiles. This type may fit properly for you who love silk, because it is possible to coat your mattress with smooth and soft silk velvet bedding. Adorned in Frette sheets, so you can add some brass in addition to laces made from silk drapes. In this manner, it will loom over by the nightstands. You may too accentuate it using black, to incorporate certain chicness in your mattress. The idea will be always to keep every thing in the right proportions, whereas the scale gets your major secret. It's mandatory that you be sure it stays extravagant and grandeur, the same as a Parisian mattress. You also might as well include a small ring and mirror to improve up the uniqueness of it, some thing that is very modern-like yet talks of"you personally". What mattress layout would you rather have?

Disclosure: I am a member of the Everywhere Society and Everywhere has provided compensation for this post about Macy's Prom. However, all thoughts and opinions expressed herein are my own.
It's no secret that my "babies" and I are stepping into uncharted waters. My daughter is now a teenager and formal dances have already begun. If you keep up with my on Facebook you may have remembered how I went shopping with my teen in search for a formal dress. we were looking for something age appropriate, colorful and trendy but mostly something she felt comfortable and didn't stretch our budget.
Since prom dress shopping should be a breeze, last weekend I went to a Macy's Prom Fashion event with special guest, celebrity Beauty and Fashion Vlogger Lindsey Hughes. My daughter was so excited to attend the event, not only to see the various prom styles available at Macy's but to meet one of her favorite beauty and fashion YouTube stars at our local mall.
Lakeside Mall and Macy's have often teamed up to bring celebrities to meet local shoppers and offer fashion and beauty advise that can help make our shopping experiences more enjoyable and purposeful. We have attended several Macy's event and always feel we bring home tips that we can utilize on our next shopping trip to prepare us for our next big event.
After the fashion show guests were welcomed to meet Lindsey Hughes at Macy's in the mstylelab department for an exclusive meet and greet and shopping party. If you have a event at your own Macy's, be sure to come early because only the first 150 customers to arrive to the fashion show were able to enjoy VIP access to meet Lindsey and take a photo with her! PLUS, If your favorite teen has prom shopping left, you could also receive 20% off prom dresses the day of the event.
Lindsey Hughes was such a pleasure to meet. She did a fantastic job hosting the event and gave us insightful tips on how we can take today's prom dress fashion and make it our own without the pressure of others to wear what is expected.
One of my favorite tips Lindsey offered to the young teens (and their parents) was to be conformable and have fun. I kept telling my own daughter the same piece of advise when we went dress shopping recently.
As you can see from the variety of dressed, color and fit is so vital! My daughter has a very athletic figure and is not petite. Her biggest concerns when dress shopping is length and fit. Aside from the various patterns and styles, you can see that you can pull a glam look without over doing it with jewelry or accessories. The prom dresses themselves are their own statement pieces.
What's my favorite part of dresses shopping? Staying within our budget! Last month for my daughter's formal, once we factored in shoes, makeup, hair, and other essentials we were looking at a small fortune. Luckily my daughter stayed within her dress budget so we can make room for the extras she needed that night.
To be completely honest with my readers, I had a budget set aside of $150 for a formal dress. While some may think that is astronomical, others may understand that dresses can be costly. At Macy's you can find numerous designs for under $100. Once you factor in store sales or Macy's online coupons you can easily find the perfect dress for under $100. That is music to my ears!
Side note: My daughter's dress retails for $120 dress. After we received a 40% off store sale and a 15% online coupon, I was ecstatic to find out our dress was well under $75 after taxes. Sweet!!
In addition, Macy's offered additional fashion and style advise from hair professionals and makeup tips by other Lakeside Mall vendors to all guests. Don't forget about shoes! In order to dance the night away, you have to have proper footwear. Guests were able to take "Shoefies" while trying on footwear that would make their prom night even more spectacular.
My favorite footwear tip is be comfortable and neutral. If you have a long prom dress, opt for a comfortable shoe since your heels will not be totally visible. My daughter's heels were barely visible in her formal gown. In fact, I'm so grateful she chose a silver pair of heels. We can easily use them for another event and save time and money for something else.
Check your local May's for additional events similar to the Prom Fashion event at our local Lakeside Mall. You might find yourself snapping pictures with your favorite celebrity as well.

Driver behaviour to blame for shocking road toll
POOR driver behaviour is to blame for one of the worst years on Clarence Valley roads, according to Traffic and Highway Patrol Command Chief Inspector Phillip Brooks.
So far this year in the Coffs/Clarence Local Area Command there has been 17 fatal crashes and 18 deaths, with 14 of those deaths occurring on Clarence Valley roads.
Last year there were just five fatalities.
This year 349 lives have been lost on NSW roads, up 33 from this time last year, and Chief Inspector Brooks said it is high risk driver, rider, cyclist and pedestrian behaviour on the road that is causing the death toll to rise.
"We know it's speeding, drink and drug driving, driving fatigued or distracted with a mobile phone that is causing what are these very sad and tragic events on our roads," he said.
"Throughout the previous winter and upcoming summer, it's quite apparent in what has been perfect driving conditions that road users have become complacent, and it's quite obvious that people are taking perfect driving conditions for granted."
Chief Inspector Brooks said the Traffic and Highway Command's Facebook page is updated by photos taken by highway patrol officers of some of the poor driver behaviour they witness every day on the road.
"They're posting these photos as their own perpetual message to take care on the road," he said.
"We also take private messages about poor driver behaviour from individuals who want to tell us about bad behaviour they've seen on the road."
Traffic and Highway Patrol officers have been conducting a high-visibility operation since last week, targeting speeding, illegal mobile phone use, seatbelt and helmet compliance, driver fatigue and drink and drug driving.
Centre for Road Safety executive director Bernard Carlon said it was imperative that road users took responsibility for their actions.
"We have pleaded with motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians time and time again," he said.
"We believe the only acceptable road toll is zero and we need everyone to play their part, to be smart and be safe when they're driving on and walking near roads.
"Fatigue-related road deaths have increased by about 52 per cent in the past year which is extremely worrying and fatalities where people haven't been wearing a seatbelt have increased by about 47 per cent on last year."
Operation Saturation, which is part of Operation Toward Zero, will conclude on Sunday.

A regional healthcare provider wished to expand its use of analytics to support monthly reporting.
The Challenge. CT Global's client, a regional healthcare provider, wished to expand its use of analytics to support monthly reporting. The current process did not adequately aggregate data and was limited and ad hoc. The work effort to create a monthly report and supplemental analysis of patient demographics, diagnostics information, billing, and payer information was quite significant. The client also wished to replace its Excel-based profit reporting solution, but this was postponed until the need for analytics and improved reporting was met.
The Solution. The client licensed SAS Office Analytics and Visual Analytics to address the need for analysis and reporting. The solution using these tools was intended to empower business users to ask the more insightful – or the "right" – questions, enable better operational and financial goals, and measure and predict how operational changes would impact operational efficiencies and financial results. SAS Office Analytics and Visual Analytics were excellent tools to support these needs.

Hi. I'm back. Not sure how much I'll be posting, but I have a great many ideas that I want to try out, so please join me in the comments. A few little notes about what I've been up to:
- My book How to Think came out last fall.
- My book The Year of Our Lord 1943: Christian Humanism in an Age of Crisis will be out in August.
- My most recent New Atlantis essay is called "Wokeness and Myth on Campus."
- On a closely related topic, I spoke at Duke in January on intellectual diversity and how to deal with disagreement. I posted the text of my talk here.
- I have an essay in the new issue of the Hedgehog Review called "Tending the Digital Commons: A Small Ethics toward the Future" (some of the themes of which were first explored on this blog).
- On a rather different set of themes, I have an essay in the new issue of Pro Ecclesia (not online) called "Ecclesial Plurality."

Determinants of sleep quality in the healthy aged: the role of physical, psychological, circadian and naturalistic light variables
Hood, Bernadette, Bruck, Dorothy and Kennedy, Gerard (2004) Determinants of sleep quality in the healthy aged: the role of physical, psychological, circadian and naturalistic light variables. Age and Ageing, 33 (2). pp. 159-165. ISSN 0002-0729Full text for this resource is not available from the Research Repository.
Ageing is associated with a decrease in the quality of night-time sleep with 30% of aged persons experiencing chronic insomnia. Treatment of insomnia typically involves the use of hypnotic medications and these have been associated with a range of negative outcomes in this population cohort. The development of age-related insomnia has been linked, in part, to changes in the strength of the circadian regulation of sleep, these changes typically leading to increased fragmentation of the sleep–wake cycle. Management of insomnia may therefore be linked to strengthening of these regulatory control mechanisms. Previous research has indicated that both daily activity levels and ambient light exposure may act as zeitgebers to consolidate sleep– wakefulness cycles. The current study utilised a naturalistic design to explore the relationship between light, activity and night-time sleep quality amongst a sample of 33 healthy aged subjects. Findings demonstrated a signiWcant positive relationship between activity and sleep quality. Ambient light was also shown to have a signiWcant impact on night-time sleep though the study identiWed a critical exposure threshold of 3000 lux. Factor analysis demonstrated the independent contribution of these two variables to subsequent sleep quality. The Wndings of the current study identify the potential for the development of non-pharmacological treatment strategies for insomnia in aged people.

RECIPE: Add some zing to your pav
CRISPY on the outside, sweet and marshmallowy inside ... the pavlova has stood the test of time as one of our most popular desserts. Who can resist a slice of a luscious pav served at the end of a special meal?
Now you can impress dessert-loving guests with this elegant version, loaded with plenty of exotic citrus flavour, that's sure to be a winner.
Kaffir lime pavlova with vanilla coconut yoghurt and kaffir candied limes
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
4 egg whites
1 tsp grated frozen kaffir lime
2 limes
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
5 kaffir lime leaves
1 cup coconut yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Place the sugar, water and kaffir lime leaves in a medium saucepan, and bring to the boil. Stir intermittently, and continue until the sugar has completely dissolved, and you have a viscous sugar syrup. Add the slices of lime, and set the timer for 12 minutes.
Once the timer is done, check that the limes have tender peel but have not disintegrated. Continue cooking for up to an additional 5 minutes, if you think it is necessary.
Shake the excess sugar syrup off the limes, and lay them on a drying rack or baking paper. Allow them to dry for a minimum of an hour, overnight if possible. You can also dry them in the fridge, if you need to speed up the process.
Preheat the oven to 160C.
Carefully separate your egg yolks and whites in clean vessels, and transfer your egg whites into a large, meticulously clean bowl.
Using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly, one tablespoon at a time, begin adding the sugar, and continue until it is all incorporated. No sugar granules should remain in the glossy meringue. Add the grated kaffir lime zest, and stir gently to incorporate.
Paint the meringue on to a piece of baking paper. I find it helps to lightly spray a baking tray before laying the baking paper down, to stop it from sliding around as you paint on the meringue. Create a shape of your choosing, and transfer the pavlova to the oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, turn your oven down to 100-120, and continue to cook for an hour to an hour and a half. Once it has finished cooking, turn the oven off, and leave it in the oven to cool completely. This is optional, but very helpful in ensuring the meringue doesn't bleed sugar.
Mix together the coconut yoghurt and vanilla bean paste, and an optional teaspoon of the kaffir sugar syrup used to create the candied limes. Spoon this on top of the pavlova (you can use cream if you're a purist) and arrange the candied limes (and some optional kaffir lime leaves if you're feeling extra creative) and serve.

November 5th is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. This comes in the wake of a developing story of a local church in Texas that just lost 25 members to an evil gunman. One of those murdered was the pastor's 14 year old daughter. Although the gunman's motives are still unclear, it is difficult to believe the shooter's motive was not faith-based. The fact that this was a church is not irrelevant, or was not likely to have been coincidental or unknown to the shooter.
Whether it's Texas or Iran, Christians all over the world are being imprisoned, tortured and killed for their faith. Not only does the Bible tell us to expect this (2 Timothy 3:12), but martyrdom actually advances the Gospel and changes the world.
The very Gospel itself is the story of a martyr, and look at all it accomplished (Colossians 1: 19-23). In light of that, it is not surprising that every major advancement of Christianity was preceded by faithful men and women sacrificing their blood for the sake of the kingdom.
Although these great sacrifices are great victories, this does not mean we ought not to pray for the persecuted church. Here are three reasons to pray for the persecuted church today.
1) The Bible Commands It
One of the most powerful verses in Scripture is possibly one of the most neglected commandments among God's people. Hebrews 13:3,
"Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body."
Be honest with yourself, how often to you even attempt this command? How often to do you pray for the persecuted church? This verse commands us to pray, and it commands how we must pray also. We are to pray as if we were with them. How passionate and how often would you pray for yourself provided you were currently being persecuted in Egypt, or North Korea? That is how you should pray now.
If you're like me, you have been disobedient. Let us pray for our brothers and sisters rightly today.
2) Prayer Works
We pray because it can actually do something for the circumstances of the persecuted. Prayer can cause change.
Notice what Paul says to Timothy in 1 Timothy 2: 1-2,
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way."
Paul called Timothy to pray for people who have power over our lives because Paul believed prayer could influence how they use that power.
Prayer is not a tip of the hat. Prayer is not sentimentality. It is an effectual, powerful action of the believer which can bring about the power of God to make real changes in history.
Pray for the persecuted church because you can help them in their affliction.
3) They Deserve it
One of the greatest compliments ever given in Scripture to God's people is found in the famous passage about the victors and martyrs of faith in Hebrews 11. After the writer of Hebrews lists all of the men and women who accomplished and endured much through faith, he describes these people, specifically the martyrs, in verse 38 as those "of whom the world was not worthy." This is a description I covet.
These brothers and sisters receiving their martyr's crowns are those this world is not worthy to be around. These brothers and sisters are heroes. They deserve much from us; they have earned much from us. But for many of us, the honor and love they deserve cannot be given. They are nameless, faceless, and distant from us. We don't know them all, and cannot be near them all. The one thing, of the many things they deserve from us which we can give, is prayer. We can pray for them, and they deserve our prayers.
Pray for them, and thank God for them.

"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music."
– Albert Einstein
I often think in music. It's an inspiring set of words for anyone with an appreciation of how music can change attitudes and alter perception, set a tone or just change a mood.
Maybe Einstein chose a path of being a physicist because he couldn't sing or play an instrument…quitter!
You don't have to give up that easy. Here are five music careers that don't require Christina Aguilera's vocal chops, Yo Yo Ma's instrumental prowess or even Adam Levine's good looks:

The main thrust of your job description is to introduce songs, conduct interviews, voice commercials and be likable.How to start a career in music, even if you can't sing a note #musicjobs #gethired Click To Tweet
Having an understanding of the technical production aspects of radio – things like board operation, guest booking and commercial traffic – can make you a more valuable member of the staff.
Radio stations tend to involve themselves in more grassroots marketing, so expect to be on site at grocery store openings, sports events and local festivals in addition to your on air work.
Tips for a Career as a Radio Host:
- Having a college degree is helpful, but vocational or trade schooling can be just as beneficial, providing real hands-on experience.
- Intern at a radio station while in college and ask questions of successful hosts. Find out how they got started, what they've learned and how they'd do things differently in their careers.
- Plan on starting in a small market where there is greater turnover and thus more opportunities
- Don't expect great pay in the beginning, but as your name grows there are greater opportunities for personal appearances which can really add to your bottom line.
Stage Manager:
A stage manager oversees everything that goes on stage at a concert hall, theater or outdoor venue. The stage manager will often be in control of very important things like lighting, audio, stage set-up…and some less important things like "does Usher have enough water?"
Truth is, a stage manager often acts as a liaison between the act and the venue, making sure both parties end up happy. If the audio isn't what the act wants, they won't be satisfied and probably won't return on their next tour…which would make the venue unhappy.
So technically, the stage manager is the happy-maker.
Tips for a Career as a Stage Manager:
- The best stage managers have a background in music and performance, understanding the impact of audio, lighting, electronics and set design. Much of this can be accomplished in trade or vocational school.
- Communication skills are vital since you will often act as the main go-between for the act and the venue
- Volunteer at different venues while in school, build your network and then try to get hired full-time.
- Know the business. Visit clubs, theater halls and concert venues with resumes ready to hand over to hiring managers. Make yourself known.
Concert Promoter
Very high on the risk/reward scale, a career as a concert promoter can be extremely rewarding or treacherous financially.
A main component of being a promoter is seeking out financing for events from investors, or putting up a great deal of your own money. In order to convince investors to be involved in your project, you must have a well laid out event plan and budget, so a background in business and finance can be helpful.
After getting the finances in line, there are negotiations with acts, booking venues, hiring crews, setting the stage, selling tickets and most importantly, the actual promotion of the event.
A promoters pay is directly related to the success of the event, so the better job you do staying on budget and making your acts happy, the better chance you have at long-term financial success.
Tips for a Career as a Concert Promoter:
- Start small – this isn't the type of career you jump into the big time right away, start out promoting smaller local shows at music halls, outdoor festivals and clubs and learn as much as you can about what works and what doesn't.
- Take finance classes in school – One of the most important pieces of the promotion puzzle is building a budget and understanding costs. There is great financial risk in concert promoting; you can lessen that risk by understanding finances.
- Study advertising – Effectively getting the word out about a show will generate buzz and successful live events, when you have success other acts will want to work with you and you can grow your profile as a promoter.
- Understand demographic research – Where you place an act geographically will go a long way to determining success. Does the audience have an appetite for the show you are promoting? If not, the night of the event could be your last night on the job.
Music Journalist
As the internet has advanced, so have the career opportunities of Music Journalists. Where there used to be only newspaper, magazine and a few TV opportunities, now there are blogs and online magazines always looking for fresh, new content.
The great thing about a career as a music journalist is that it's flexible, you aren't clocking in 9-to-5, instead, you are often working nights and weekends or at odd times that fit the subject. As your portfolio increases you can often work as a freelance writer, which allows you to work for multiple publications and build your audience even greater.
Tips for a Career as a Music Journalist:
- When you first start out, generally at smaller newspapers or blogs, expect to write about all types of music, not just your favorite genre. As you progress in your career, and work up to larger publications, you can become more specialized.
- Study Journalism – this isn't one of those careers you can fake. Either you have a talent for writing and conveying thoughts, or you don't.
- Study Music – It's not enough to listen to music, if you are going to write about the music industry, album reviews or analyze performances, its best you know what you are talking about.
- While in school don't just write for the college paper, also start submitting your writing to blogs and online magazines to help build your personal brand. So for example, let's say Macklemore and Ryan Lewis do a show at your college campus, write a review, submit it to a few sites and see what happens.
A publicist creates buzz about an act by communicating with radio stations, newspapers, magazines and TV stations in an effort to get coverage and become better known amongst the public. The more an act is recognized, the more likely they are to sell-out venues and grow their profile.
Tips for a Music Career as a Publicist:
- A background in public relations is helpful, since building press kits, writing press releases and spinning negative stories about your client are major parts of a career as a music publicist.
- Intern at a record label – most record labels hire a staff of publicists to work with their acts. Interning is a great way to see how the business side of the music industry works.
- Work with a local band to help in their publicity, assist in booking venues, advertising, contact local radio stations. It's a great way to learn by trial and error, plus you'll have something on your resume!
If you couldn't sing or play an instrument, but loved music, what career would you pursue?!

About me
My name is Jason and I have been making Custom Drip tips, Mods, Sleeves and other vaping parts for about 4 years now and I've been vaping for about 6 years.
I mix my own acrylic and all of my work is handmade, so every tip is not only different by the acrylic pattern but each one is hand carved and will be slightly different.
I have lots of colors available most have a pearlescent effect which make them shimmer and sparkle when light hits them making a truly stunning drip-tip
I can mix any combination of colors together to make beautiful combinations
This is just myself in my shed making things i love to make not a CNC mass produced item.
I have been selling my drip tips on Facebook for the past 4 years and was only doing custom orders but now my tips are available through this shop.
If you cant see a drip tip that you like or in the colors you like message me and i can custom make one for you

My new makeup bag!
This bag is soo sweet, I adore the colors and the little scene on the front, and at this sale price it was a steal. I'm using this as my makeup bag and I love it (I dont own a lot of makeup though so it wasnt hard to fit it into this little pouch). The super adorable diorama scene on it makes me want to buy more from the series

We selected some of the best new wireless keyboards to review in best selling wireless keyboards 2013. These keyboards have different features, but I am sure you will find the proper one for your needs here.
When it comes to a wireless keyboard, I'd not recommend going for the cheapest option. Where producers tend to skimp on budget keyboards is on the wireless connection. Meaning that the range is very short and you basically need to keep it as close to the PC as a wired keyboard. Furthermore a number of the cheaper keyboards aren't too dependable. All of the keyboards we picked for this review are however very reliable and have a good connecting range.
K350 from Logitech
This keyboard offers a little bit of comfort in daily typing. The wave design naturally angles your wrists in a more comfy placement. The keyboard can support different hand types and various finger lengths. This makes long typing tasks less stressful on your hands. The feel from the keyboard is solid. The overall design displays good quality and attention to detail.
This keyboard has a unifying USB dongole. The enclosed software programs are also very user friendly. Another essential feature of the keyboard is that it is easy to customize. The function keys with the exception of two (F12 and F11) can be programmed. Which means you are able to open documents, launch programs, perform a search etc. with the press of a button. You also have the ability to turn off 'num lock'.'caps lock', 'Insert' etc. This is fantastic for computer users who are tired of wasting time because of misclicks.
Overall a product of great quality sold at a very affordable price
HP Wireless Elite Keyboard
The sleek and non bulky layout ensures that the keyboard does not take up much space on your desktop. It is also very light making it quite simple to handle. The keyboard is designed to complement any Laptop or computer. Which means that it can replace a normal desktop keyboard but also a notebook keyboard. This is handy if your notebook is quite bulky or heats up quickly. As in both cases the laptop computer becomes uncomfortable in a lap this keyboard offers relief. Also the keyboard has the look and feel of a normal notebook keyboard. This increases the ease of use for laptop users.
The HP Wireless Elite has no LED lights that indicate when Caps Lock or Num Lock is on. Which means that you will only be aware if CAPS lock is active when, you press a key. This may be a minor nuisance while typing.
The keyboard is truly plug and play. So no software or driver installation is necessary. However you should install the HP software to totally utilize the keyboard's features.
The HP wireless Elite is a really light-weight nearly noiseless keyboard which is simple installation.
Verbatim Wireless Slim Keyboard and Mouse
This wireless duo ensures your complete digital flexibility. The keyboard has a sound build while remaining light-weight. The keys are crisp and very reactive to the touch. The communication between the Personal computer and the keyboard is very quick. Consequently you won't suffer from annoying delays. So whatever you type will appear on the screen instantly. The mouse is also very accurate and user friendly.
The Verbatim mouse that comes with this keyboard is one of the top wireless mice of 2013.
No drivers must be installed in order to use the keyboard and the mouse. They're compatible not only with 'Windows Vista' but also with 'Windows 2000', 'Windows XP' and 'Windows 7'.
The keyboard also has a media console. This lets you control your volume as well as play an pause, from the keyboard. The keyboard is also very intuitive to use. However a quick start guide is also provided to help resolve any issues.
This option is probably the best most affordable of all the keyboards that we reviewed here.
I hope you found what you where looking for in best selling wireless keyboards 2013.

Fun, Non-Messy Caramel Apple Recipe
When October rolls around, I am filled with the excitement of Halloween! Mostly because I love all the treats that come with the holiday. Like, my favorite, caramel apples!
Yes, caramel apples can be had all year long, but they always remind me of Halloween. Growing up my grandma would make them for us every year along with popcorn balls.
Although I love caramel apples, I have a five year old who can make a mess out of anything. Caramel apples are kind of hard for him to eat. He usually eats all the caramel and leaves the entire apple. So I have tried to find new ways to make old favorites. I saw this recipe on Pintrest and decided to give it a shot.
It is so simple. Wash your apples really well. The you cut them in half. Then you scoop out the middle. I used a melon baller because it was easier that scooping it out with a knife.
Then grab a muffin pan and place your apple halves into the holes. This will help keep your apples steady and prevent less of a mess. Go ahead and melt the caramel as directed on the package.
Once the caramel is nice, melty and smooth pour it into the apples. I cover them with some saran wrap and place in the fridge. Once the caramel is set, pull the apples out and slice them up!
They are easy to hold and eat. And the best part, they will make less of a mess! Love it!
I planned on putting a picture of the finished product, but when I went to do that all the apples were already eaten by my anxious family. :)
What are some great Halloween treat ideas that you use?

Tomatoes and cheese are marinated in oil, basil and garlic and then tossed with the hot linguine. A simple but delectable meal.
I used bocconcini (little fresh mozzarella balls) instead of the shredded mozzarella and red-ripe Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped. I skipped the garlic salt - totally unnecssary. To avoid a strong taste of raw garlic I mixed the minced garlic with a little salt, then used the flat side of my chef's knife to mash it into a paste. I added all ingredients to taste rather than measuring. A plate of this and I'm happy. Very happy. - 20 May 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was dinner for us last night. I used whole wheat pasta, cut down the mozzerella cheese in half and cut the EVOO WAY down to a 1/4 c., if that. I also used fresh garlic. My boys seemed to like this but my husband thought it would have been better with a mixture of parmesan and mozzerella. Good base recipe to tweak any way you like to make it suit your family. - 09 Jul 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Simple, delicious - and not just for summer! Although, I'll definitely remember this for summer when garden ripe tomatoes are in season. I subbed penne pasta for the linguini and opted to use fresh mozzarella that I sliced and chopped vs. shredded. I also used regular salt vs. garlic salt. This is a great side dish for any meal or you could make this a meal in and of itself it's so good. Next time I might add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a bit of crushed red pepper flakes for a little pizzaz! - 02 Feb 2012 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
