I may have found my perfect shade of lip gloss. Awhile back I got a sample of Cargo Blu-ray gloss from a Cargo Blu_ray Lip Gloss Quad. The Blu_ray line is promoted as "high definition makeup" that was designed for make-up artists to use for high definition filming. Of course, Cargo promotes and sells it to the everyday buyer too.
The gloss is packaged in a four color palette, but I received a sample of only the rosy pink shade. That shade turned out to be absolutely perfect for me. You will often read that for a natural, lightly tinted lip, look for a shade that matches the skin on the inside of your lip. The cargo shade was a perfect match for me. The gloss itself is pretty well pigmented and a bit thick, but not sticky. I'm always impressed with high tint that avoids stickiness, it is a hard combination to find sometimes. The gloss also has a very light and pleasant peppermint scent and flavor.
The look of the gloss is fabulous. It is not too shiny, but not totally matte either. Basically it is a nice even and natural looking color that feels great.
I liked this one so much that I ordered the quad online the same day that I tried the sample. I'll swatch it when it arrives and post up the picture. Cargo Blu_ray gloss will also be making my best of 2008 list.

But Florida does offer some chilling experiences, and we don't mean driving I-95.
Florida is blessed with natural springs that maintain a constant chilly temperature all year. Several of the springs are popular recreation spots -- great places to canoe, kayak, swim or tube. And the water in the springs is so clear, it's like immersing yourself in bottled water.
Florida offers 17 of what are known as "first magnitude springs." These springs bubble up from subterranean rivers and flow at a rate of 100 cubic feet or more of water per second. In addition to springs of the first magnitude, Florida also boasts 49 springs of the second magnitude, as well as a large number of lesser springs. Eight state parks as well as Ocala National Forest contain springs.
All the popular springs are several hours drive from South Florida. They are too far for a day trip, but make an ideal destination for a three-day weekend.
Here is information on four of Florida's favorite springs:
Juniper Springs overflows into a winding stream that makes for a fun-filled, 12-mile canoe ride down Juniper Run. The canoes may be rented at Juniper Springs campground. The water is as clear as gin and it's so narrow in spots, you round corners by bouncing the canoe off banks. You may have to lie in the bottom of the canoe at times to get under trees fallen across the stream. The run carries you about seven miles in about six hours, including a lunch stop. Propulsion is easy because the current carries you along at walking speed. A shuttle will collect you for the trip back to your car. More information.
Alexander Springs derive from a big, deep hole that forms a natural swimming pool in the Ocala National Forest southwest of Astor. Swimming in the 72 degree water is refreshing in summer. Canoes can be rented, but there is no shuttle service on Alexander.
Silver Springs is a 125-year-old theme park that is still drawing visitors. You can take a junglelike excursion as you cruise down the Silver River, or view the colorful depths in a glass-bottom boat. There`s even an underwater viewing gallery with portholes that provide a clear view into the mysterious Black Lagoon. The springs make up the center of the 5,400-acre Silver Springs theme park that also features Cypress Point Reptile Institute, picturesque nature walks and the Early American Museum.

Posts tagged "fraudulence"
Dec 14, 2012
Fraudulence always seems to lie at the heart of amateur pursuits. Maybe you don't have the right credentials, or background, or something else—other people's presumptions—keeps you from doing what you want, so you just pretend. It's a kind of prison break. The culture around you won't let you out of where you are or into where you want to go. So, you pretend to be someone else, and make your move.

- Not a great valuedmphippsDined on 9/12/2014Service was ok but slow. Surf and turf was $50 for 2 medium sized scallops and a 7oz sirloin that was very dry but was cooked medium rare which was odd. Short rib was amazing and I savored all 5 bites that cost $30. Flavor was fantastic though. The duck confit nachos were super good too for appetizer and so was the pretzel bread that came with the meal.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/12/2014We had a great time. Great waiters and great ambience!Special Features:
- Oriental SurpiseMesa1Dined on 8/29/2014First reaction walking downstairs through the stored outside tables is more than amply compensated by a spacious dining area where an attentive staff makes you feel very welcome. The duck confit nachos were a striking prelude to very tasty and, just as innovative, sushi dinner. This place is a "must go to when in Ann Arbor".Special Features:
- MehlangeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/26/2014Meh. Wanted the cheese plate as an appetizer...they were out of cheese. Crab cakes were lukewarm. Salads were uninspiring. Barrimundi was ok. Skipped dessert. Seems like Melange has slipped from one of the better places in A2 to an also ran.
- YummyOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/22/2014In Ann Arbor for a wedding, went to Melange on a recommendation. We loved it, Beer was ice cold, Firecracker sushi roll and short ribs absolutely delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulFrankDined on 8/16/2014We had dinner here on Saturday night. We thought we would give this place a try rather than the usual Ann Arbor suspects. It was excellent. We has appetizers, sushi and dessert. Everything was great. The tuna was seared on a hot rock table side for a unique presentation. The crab cakes had a nice asian kick which was a nice change of pace. The sushi was fresh and vibrant in flavor. Dessert was nice because you could have small portions which kept the guilt to a minimum. The service was excellent. We will definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Eat out often; May not returneatathomeDined on 8/14/2014I had the crab cakes and was very disappointed.......no one seemed overly pleased the macaroons were great
- ConsistentThepaneatsDined on 8/13/2014We have never been disappointed at Melange. Food is excellent. Atmosphere is comfortable, a relaxed contemporary design. Wait staff is attentive, but relaxed. Our wait person was knowledgeable about the wine list, giving us a description of our selection so we were able to order the wine we were looking for.Special Features:
- No MagicnexttimeDined on 8/9/2014To be honest, we tried to get a reservation at Pacific Rim but they were full (for good reason). Saw the menu for Melange and read their "mission statement". Sounded like it had a Pacific Rim "vibe". We gave it a try. Very disappointed. The service was great but the food lacked originality and finesse: soba noodles with a thick, spicy cream sauce and dry tofu that was sprinkled with some kind artificial spices. Duck that was cooked medium rare (as ordered) but was drowned in a thick black sauce. That meal was served with a rice-a-roni-type dish and pile of green beans with salt and butter.The presentation of the food was heavy-handed with a bit of a "steak house" feel. No magic. Not worth the money. Go to Pacific Rim.
- dinner with a purchased voucherOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/9/2014the server did care about our table maybe due to that we were using a purchased voucher since a 20% tip will be added to the whole bill anyway. no bread served if we did not ask for.
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/8/2014Good selection, of food, mojitios were awesome, drinks prices a little high, but good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentLakasousoDined on 8/8/2014All selections are fantastic and each are able to stand on their own, even the appetizers. I especially enjoyed the lamp chop, crab cake, and duck nachos. The starting bread was also delicious. Stunning meal. 9.5/10Special Features:
- Not what I expected - in a good wayFetaLovingGreekGuyDined on 8/1/2014It's dark. Not in mood but it's located in the lower level of a building on Main St. We we're greeted by a friendly hosted who seated us in a very 80's pleather booth. We giggle as we opened the menus to find they were back lit. I guess others also found it dark. The food was good. We had some great recommendations (burning man sushi roll and the tuna river rock) from our waiter. Our our main courses we 're the sea bass which was cooked perfectly and the Melange salad with the addition of scallops again seared and cooked perfectly, My only complaint would be that the sea bass dish was a little on the salty side. Dessert included a trio of vanilla bean creme brulee, s'more parfait and cheese cake. All pretty average.Special Features:
- Friday night dinnerCitychicVIPDined on 8/1/2014Another great meal at an under-rated restaurant. First of all the service is constantly flawless. Second the food is exceptional. This time I tried the scallops and feel in love. What a wonderful dish. Companions had the lamb (always a great choice) and the salmon. I find their seafood to be exceptional. I started my meal with the Melange salad and finished with a small lemon cream brulee. I would eat at this restaurant every week.Special Features:
- DisappointedfinderskeepersDined on 7/19/2014Our sushi and barramundi fish, as well as service after the food was served, were disappointing, along with the small choice of entrees. The rooms, down a flight of stairs, had insufficient lighting to see safely when walking in some areas. 4inannarbor
- SarahDined on 7/17/2014Our dinner was great! Barramundi was especially yummy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprisingly EmptysandraandersonVIPDined on 7/16/2014We thought that it would be impossible to get a reservation during the Ann Arbor Art Fair. Turns out most people don't go out to dinner. So we were very lucky to eat at Melange and have excellent service. The samosas and duck nachos were especially good. Excellent server in Corey. Quiet so had good conversation as we sat over our Malbec and excellent mini-parfaits.Special Features:
- Melange A2KermitKDined on 7/14/2014Have been to Melange many times. Soup was great, so were our drinks. My chicken for the Thai pasta was a little rubbery, but my companion's scallops were divine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Oriental HidewayLuvVarietyDined on 7/12/2014Given that this restaurant is downstairs, it does not get the notoriety of the other restaurants on Main Street. The food was very good, especially the Red Dragon Roll Sushi and the Sea Bass.
- Melange is wonderful!grendelVIPDined on 7/10/2014The menu is rather limited at this restaurant, but that must mean that everything is prepared individually and expertly. The food is very good, with a mix of Asian, American, and other cuisines. My barramundi was super as was my husband's sushi. Drinks are appropriately strong ( I hate it when I get drinks that taste watered down). The service was adequate, not spectacular. I felt like the waiter was simply paying his dues.Special Features:
- Food and Service were excellenttenoradminDined on 7/8/2014This was our first visit and this is a very nice restaurant for a special occasion, romantic dinner or wine and dine a business colleague. They have an extensive and impressive wine list. Our server was very good - just the right level of attention without being intrusive but still personable and likable and helped direct our choices when appropriate. The food was very good and we enjoyed everything.Special Features:
- romantic wedding nightApeAndPrincessDined on 6/28/2014I don't normally do ratings, but we got such a good deal, and they were so friendly and accommodating, that I feel I owe them at least that. And the scallop and shrimp dish was extraordinary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Buckeye in Ann ArborBriskokidDined on 6/27/2014I live in Cleveland which has an incredible food scene, and I was very impressed by the restaurant selection in AA. Melange is surprisingly large, which helped us get a 7:30 reservation on a busy Friday. Very eclectic menu--steak/tuna on a hot rock, sushi apps and sea bass in sweet soy. All was excellent and the service was flawless. The manager came over after the meal and he was extremely friendly and helpful--he gave us a great recommendation to a late night speakeasy (The Last Word) down the street. Would definitely recommend it.Special Features:
- lovely quietrestaurantmavenDined on 6/27/2014Wonder choices in wine and food. ambiance and service were superb!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome WaitorKadsDined on 6/26/2014I can't remember his name, but he was awesome! So friendly, treated us very well :) This guy was awesome and I appreciated all he did! The food was very good, and it was a really neat atmosphere.
- Ann Arbor Restaurant weekOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/25/2014Offered good selections and all food was delicious! My first time at Melange and I felt I was in a high scale restaurant in Las Vegas. Love the private booths.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 6/23/2014Quiet reserved setting that is very nice. Great service and fabulous food presentation. Menu choices are very unique.Special Features:
- FoodDiDined on 6/22/2014We tried the restaurant for the first time for dinner at the start of Restaurant Week, June 2014 The beef was the best I've had in Ann Arbor (and I've lived here for 30 years): succulent, tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was excellent, too. I highly recommend Melange and we'll definitely be going back!Special Features:
- Mixed experienceChrisDined on 6/6/2014Very good food, different flavors. Before 10pm, smooth music, romantic atmosphere. However, after 10pm they started electronic music at the bar with DJ. Too loud for a confined place. Didn't match the romantic mood my dinner had. Good tip: if you want enjoy the good food in a calm ambient, schedule a early dinner and leave before 10pmSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 582 reviews are from the Melange - Ann Arbor reviews archive.
- First time dinersMaryVIPDined on 5/24/2014Great find. Wonderful seafood and great service. Will definitely be back to try the sushi.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely dinner spotChurchillDined on 5/24/2014This is a great place for a cozy dinner for two, a fun / elegant dinner with a group of friends, or even a place to catch up as a family. The lighted menus are cool and helpful! Great spot!
- Quiet and personaldatenightVIPDined on 5/23/2014Melange is one of the best restaurants in Ann Arbor for consistent food excellence, a great wine and cocktail list, and wonderful service. It also is a place where you can more easilgy find a table on a Friday night which seems surprising given the quality. Possibly in spring the draw of outside dining probably keeps people out of the dark and wine-cellar like atmosphere of Melange. The food selections include Asian-fusion including sushi, but there are also several excellent fish and meat items to choose from. The duck nachos appetizer is filling and delicious. On this particular visit we both ordered fish entrees, which were expertly prepared and presented.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dependably good interesting menuthomps97VIPDined on 5/20/2014We were there with a party of 8 on a Tuesday night. We had superb service and enjoyed the live entertainment. As always, we ordered the famous duck nachos. Most of us had a fish (salmon, sea bass, or baramundi). The plates are well prepared. Menu changes regularly. One real plus is that one can get a very small dessert ($3), which is a nice treat when you just want a few bites.Special Features:
- Hidden GemKKinAADined on 5/19/2014Our first time at this restaurant and we both would be happy to recommend it to friends. Not an overly extensive menu, but interesting offerings - not too exotic, pretentious, or unpronounceable. Absolutely something for everyone, expertly prepared. Cocktails seem VERY small (but maybe it was the glass? Not overly iced or watered down, in any case, so that was good.) Superb service, delightful atmosphere. No more expensive than any place else in town. Love the bar lighted from underneath, and the backlit menus, too. We joked that all the menu needs is a magnifying overlay for myopic middle-agers! We really enjoyed our visit!Special Features:
- good & baddanny1976Dined on 5/11/2014We came for mothers day me & my wife the food my wife had ordered had onions & she cant have ANY onions she told the waiter as well did I please make sure no onions food came out she started eating & found onions all in it its mothers day & she is picking all the onions out of her food cause the waiter had not been back since we ordered over 20 minutes also she ordered a salad we never got BUT we didn't get charged when the waiter came back to us I explained the food & he stated lucky its free to for moms & kept it short truly don't know if I will returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day dreamOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/11/2014We took our 7 and 9 year olds for their first fancy sit down dinner. Mothers ate free for Mother's Day. Staff was great and food amazing. Now our kids want sea bass every day at home :-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodPhoodiepanDined on 5/11/2014My wife and I and brother and sister in-law had Mother's day dinner at Melange. Food selection was good. We had the lettuce wrap and samosas for appetizers. Good taste, the lettuce wrap filling was a little bit too saucy and hence on the salty side. I ordered the beef short rib which was quite good - very tender and good taste. My wife ordered the special dinner dish of scallops on risotto. Although she didn't say much, I could see that she wasn't too impressed by it and decided to take half of it home. Overall, while the dish selection certainly is interesting, the food taste and experience is rather average.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently goodBakersDined on 5/11/2014While anytime is good to go to Melange, their Mother's Day offer was too good to pass up. Adding to the usually great food was the experience of a poet for a waiter who also matched the wine to our meal and provided us with just the right amount of attention. Why sit out on the curb when you can have the ambience of a truly fine restaurant?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Experience!lyehDined on 5/11/2014We went to Melange for the first time for Mothers Day and we had a wonderful experience. Our waitor, Pat, was hilarious and made us laugh the entire time! He was so respectful and quick, even though it was super busy. The food was unique and delicious, and a pretty big portion. We had a fantastic and memorable experience! Thank you Melange for making Mothers Day so great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 5/10/2014At our table we ordered the lamb, duck, sea bass and branzino, all were nicely prepared (lots of cross the table tasting) and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Great service was great and very helpful. Will definitey go back!Special Features:

After what will end up being a 16 year hiatus, Porsche will be making its long overdue return to the top class of the LeMans series in 2014. Starring in the grand return will be a works-run LMP1 sports prototype for which details are still limited - almost non-existent actually.
However, regardless of whether it is a coupe or an open top model, the future LMP1 will more than likely feature new technologies from Porsche. Hartmut Kristen, Head of Porsche Motorsport said: "We're looking forward to the task of developing new technologies and to continue on with the success of the Porsche RS Spyder. After the conclusion of our works-supported sports prototype programme in the American Le Mans Series we have kept up with the latest technological advances. Now we will begin with detailed research in order to evaluate the various concept alternatives for our new car. These obviously depend on how the regulations for the year 2014 look in detail. In principle, these regulations are interesting for us because the integration of our hybrid technology in the vehicle concept is one possible option."
Porsche currently dominates the LeMans series with a total of 16 overall victories, including seven straight victories from 1981 to 1987. The most recent win was with the Porsche 911 GT1 in 1998. In the LMP2 series, Porsche has continued its success with wins in 2006, 2008, and then again in 2010 with their RS Spyder sports prototype .

Larsson Keeps Winning
Published July 23, 2010 12:00
PORTOROZ, Slovenia - The No.2 seed was ousted in the first round, the No.1 seed fell in the second round. And in the quarterfinals it was No.3 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's turn to tumble out of the draw, falling quietly to Swedish rising star Johanna Larsson in straight sets, 63 62.
Pavlyuchenkova, at No.31 the highest-ranked teenager in the world and an easy winner in the first two rounds, never got into a rhythm as a spot in the semifinals was at stake, losing to the No.84-ranked Larsson in just 73 minutes.
"I started aggressively, she made a few errors and I was lucky to come through it," Larsson said. "I'm taking it one match at a time. I was happy to get through the first round and I'm very happy to be in the semifinals now."
Larsson reached her first Sony Ericsson WTA Tour quarterfinal one week ago in Prague and will now play her first career semifinal.
Check out all the best pics from Portoroz in the photo gallery!
Another Russian seed was in action straight after and although it was a much closer fight, she was also picked off. No.6 seed Vera Dushevina had a 5-3 third set lead and two match points at 5-4, but Anna Chakvetadze kicked it into high gear once she saved that second match point, winning the last 11 points of the match to make it past her countrywoman, 26 63 75.
"After I won the game to get to 5-all, things went pretty quickly. I was just stronger at the end," Chakvetadze said. "The first set was pretty horrible. I really need to work on my strokes. I'll have to play at another level to win tomorrow."
Rounding out the final four later in the day were Ksenia Pervak, who won a see-saw with qualifier Anastasiya Yakimova, 62 26 61, and No.7 seed Polona Hercog of Slovenia, who defeated Stefanie Voegele, 75 75.
"I was a little tired after the first set. She plays with a lot of spin, so it's hard to play against her," Pervak said about her win over Yakimova, which sent her into her first career semifinal. "In the final set I gave it my all though. Johanna will be a tough opponent too - she has a tough serve and great forehand."
"Sometimes I need time to get to know my opponent. When I saw how she played, I was more aggressive," said Hercog, who was down 4-1 in the first set. "I was nervous when I served for it at 5-4, but I knew I had to attack again."
Pervak leads Larsson 1-0 in their head-to-head, winning at an ITF Circuit event last year. Hercog and Chakvetadze have never played.

MADISON, WI (National Guard News Bureau) - "Wisconsin's outstanding National Guard is ready to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy," That's according to Governor Scott Walker. He says, "If resources are needed, Wisconsin stands ready to deploy the National Guard for assistance."
Wisconsin Guard members have been identified to provide support, if requested, as part of a FEMA Region V ground task force. Wisconsin National Guard assets have not been requested yet, but Wisconsin has more than a dozen force packages available.
This has been done before. The Wisconsin National Guard supported relief efforts following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and ice storms in North Dakota in 2009.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has agreed with governors in Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island to appoint dual status commanders - National Guard general officers authorized to command both federal forces and National Guard troops on state duty. This special authority enables dual commanders to effectively integrate defense support operations and capability requested by governors.
Brigadier General Scott Legwold, director of the Wisconsin National Guard Joint Staff, oversees domestic operations in Wisconsin such as National Guard response efforts for floods, snow storms and tornadoes. He is qualified to serve as a dual commander in Wisconsin should the need arise and understands the role dual commanders will play on the East Coast.
"No other organization has the National Guard's combination of size, skills, training and experience, placement across the nation, command and communications infrastructure, and the legal flexibility to support civil authorities at a moment's notice," Legwold said. "If needed, we can draw on that expertise to best apply active duty assets, such as personnel and equipment, after disaster strikes to save lives, ease human suffering, and help restore normalcy."
The National Guard Bureau reports that more than 61,100 National Guard troops are available to assist civilian authorities supporting relief efforts in the impacted regions. Among the assets the National Guard can bring to the effort are nearly 140 helicopters for search and rescue, reconnaissance, and personnel/cargo transport missions.
General Frank Grass, chief of the National Guard Bureau, said the National Guard - as the nation's first military responder - is closely monitoring Hurricane Sandy and coordinating with federal, state, and local partners in a cooperative effort to save lives, protect property, and support recovery efforts.
"Units across the National Guard are making the necessary preparations to respond to the needs of any states affected by Hurricane Sandy," Grass said. "Rest assured the National Guard is poised and ready to provide proven responders and capabilities."
Wisconsin Emergency Management is also monitoring Hurricane Sandy. Gale warnings are in effect along Lake Michigan as a result of the hurricane. Waves of 10 to 15 feet are expected along the coast Tuesday. In addition, WEM is in contact with state and local agencies to assess resources in the event any assistance is needed from other states during the response and recovery of the hurricane.
(Sgt. 1st Class Jim Greenhill of the National Guard Bureau contributed to this report.)

Where to stay in Koh Phangan?
Haad Rin:
The most popular backpacker enclave 'Haad Rin' is full of all sorts of accommodation; from your rough backpacker digs to some swanky flashpacker resorts. As the tiny area fills to the seams every month with party-going backpackers, the accommodation can get booked up pretty fast! Consider arriving a few days earlier and securing your room to make sure you don't end up kipping on the beach!
There are tonnes of great places to stay in Koh Phangan located in some beautiful areas. If you're looking for somewhere quieter try Sri Thanu or Haad Gruad. It's not a large island and you are only really ever an hour's drive from anywhere you want to be. Most places that you stay on the island would help you organise transport to the party spots!
What else is going on in Koh Phangan?
While many people make Koh Phangan an essential part of their backpacking trip to experience the world famous 'Full Moon Party,' it seems that many don't stay long enough to discover all that this stunning island has to offer. If you stick around for a while as the hangover subdues, the shakes from too many buckets have calmed and you've managed to rid the aluminous paint from your hair, you'll discover a very different island. And with something to satisfy almost every need, you may just find this place hard to leave!

7 out of 10 feature Macs :)
Can someone explain the fascination with instagram to me? The filters are cool I guess, but I can't figure out this app's reason for being so popular... especially since you have to sign up to their network to even use it.
Confused about why #8 made this list. Mac computer with speakers against a white wall? I get that Macs are pretty, but that isnt a 'Cool Home Office' it's a computer. on a desk.
I'm confused by 6, that looks like a normal stock standard office to me
#9 - love the desk
If this is what I'm missing with Instagram, then I have to admit to being somewhat underwhelmed upon discovering what I am missing with Instagram: photos of desks with Mac computers. Posting standards slipping, AT?
Love the first pic - the flashy artwork against the white is great. Not to mention the art itself!
Would love to see more offices of people who really work at home -- like freelance writers, graphic designers and other self-employed workers. The offices in the pictures are attractive but they wouldn't meet the needs of most at-home workers.
My back hurts just looking at most of the home office chairs. Especially #2. But do love the desk in number #9.
Pictures have a yellow tint. Reminds me of a Sunset 'How To' Decorating book from the early sixties - except for the microelectronics.
i saw #10 photo..is it Yuna in ur iMac ? hehe
anyone know where the desk from
5. User m_heartyou (paperplanes.ca)
is from?
Does #10 have a crochet computer cover? AWESOME.
#6, where's that poster from (please and thank you)?
I'm so bored with Macs being featured all the time on this website. Does no one use Windows or Linux on a ThinkPad or something? With all of the amazing technology available nowadays, it seems like a lack of creativity to continue to buy into the whole Apple trend.
L-A, #6 artwork is my work. Acrylic and graphite on canvas.

Tiger is roaring at Augusta, but not in a good way
4/7/12 in Golf | Pat | 5233 respect
His antics during the 2nd round of the 2012 Masters, however, left some people with quite the bad taste in their mouth.
The low point was on the 16th hole, when he acted more like Happy Gilmore than one of the greatest golfers of all time.
Should Tiger be punished somehow for his tirades? Golf has always had the perception of being a gentleman's game, and there is little tolerance for emotional outbursts like this on the course. Sure, some of us do it when we're at the local course and think no one is watching, but for one of golf's all-time greats to do it at one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world is simply unacceptable.
What's your take? Does Tiger need to be reprimanded somehow for this?

About Vitol:Val Vasilef is an award-winning bodybuilder and Mr. America winner. He has been honored by his home state for achieving unmatched weightlifting and bodybuilding records. In addition to his physical pursuits, Val studied nutrition and sports science, and earned a doctorate in naturopathy. This knowledge came in handy when the usually well-bulked bodybuilder lost weight and muscle. His uncharacteristic slimness occurred after starring in his own TV series left him less time to concentrate on fitness."I watched in horror as my muscular body got skinnier, and my mass and density took a hike," he says. "I tried to overcome my muscle loss by training harder. I frantically searched for info on bodybuilding products in magazines, hoping to stop my weight loss."
Val tried bodybuilding products that claimed to pack on muscle immediately - but none worked. His wife, Susan, a Miss World Physical Fitness winner and commentator on the show, says the audience was starting to notice, too. "They were asking, what happened to Val's muscles?" she says.
Down to 175 pounds from his once-muscular, 215-pound body, Val had lost more than 40 pounds of muscle. "I was fed up with worthless programs and muscle-building products that did nothing but waste my time and drain my pockets," he recalls. "But I had made worldwide contacts in muscle-building resources." These included hi-tech Russian researchers, U.S. world champs and of course, the wisdom of his Uncle John, the "Russian Bear." Val succeeded in designing a powerful muscle-building system for weightlifters, bodybuilders and athletes. With the Russian Bear system, Val's weight soon climbed back to 215 pounds of hard muscle mass. "I constantly had to defend myself at the gym. People couldn't believe my muscle gains were completely natural, without steroids," he says. "Everyone wanted to know what I was taking."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I requested a complete change to this design. I removed the boarder and the stripes on the back, so I pretty much started with a blank card. I had a photo on each side. The designer did an AMAZING job. I suggested some things, and she had even better ideas. I'm very happy with the design. One thing that I wish I could have seen before ordering is the texture of the 2 options for paper type. I understand this can be difficult to appreciate from a computer screen. But, they could post a link to a YouTube video showing the difference between the paper. The one I chose (I forget the name, but it was the NON-pearlized one) ended up having a 'bumpy' surface. I wish it was completely smooth, since it makes my photo look strange in some places. But, I didn't go with the pearlized paper b/c I didn't want it to be too shiny/sparkly. Seeing it on video would have helped me make a better decision possibly."
"These came in just as I expected & they even added an extra line for me so that I could add in our wedding website address. I had ordered the sample of the invitation size & was expecting something of a similar size, however, these are more the size of a post card (which will probably save us in postage)."
"First time ordering from WPD. Everything was perfect on my Save the Date card. I ordered the card with the chambord (plum) color. Arrived 4 days early. Definitely ordering Invitations with WPD."
"I have loved every minute of working with Wedding Paper Divas. Their staff are timely and professional - plus they produce amazing work. I was extremely happy with how fast they sent me a proof, and shipped my save the dates. I would highly recommend to anyone!"
"I used navy to personalize my save the dates and match my wedding colors. I added another line of text underneath, and it turned out perfectly. I used rounded edges which look great. I like how this card emphasized the picture of my fiance and I and the words "save the date". This card made it simple and straightforward which is what I wanted."

When the current recession first started more than a year ago many of us experienced a feeling of déjà vu. The economic situation seemed somewhat familiar and we initially thought that we had been there before. However, as the economic downturn accelerated and its global breadth and magnitude became more apparent, we began to feel that this situation was not familiar. It was different than anything we had experienced.
Instead of "déjà vu all over again," it became increasingly clear that we were experiencing what comedian George Carlin called "vuja dé". Vuja dé is that feeling that I don't know where I am and I have never been here before. Technology has flattened the world and has created a social, political and economic landscape upon which we will be the first to set foot. For the most part, there is little useful history to rely on because it is a new world.
It is this feeling of "vuja dé" that has settled into our minds and caused us fear and uncertainty. Should we be frightened or should we be hopeful? The answer is "yes." However, we should be more hopeful than frightened. While in Olympia recently, I listened to a speech by governor Chris Gregoire. The governor said that we should not "waste the opportunities that this crisis provides." It is difficult for someone who has just lost their job to focus on opportunities. But, opportunities are all around us. Like most crisis we usually learn something from the experience. If we apply the lessons learned from this crisis we will end up better off than before. Most of us have already begun to re-prioritize what is important in our lives. For example, Americans are saving more and spending less. In the long run, it's is good for us and our economy.
President Obama and other national leaders are also trying to act on the opportunities that this crises has created. The economic stimulus package will help stop the bleeding, but it is not the final solution.
Challenges like education, health care and green industry all offer tremendous opportunities.
But the government alone will not bail us out of our current situation. There is no magic bullet for this economic crisis, no magic bailout package, no magic stimulus. We have lost trust and we are going to have to live with uncertainty for much longer than we ever have before. But this does not mean that we should do nothing. If there is one lesson that history has taught us it is that we must support one another. Where we see hardship and need in our community we must step up and help our neighbors.
For example, I worry about our small businesses in Blaine. Even in the best of times our few businesses struggle. In these hard economic times, many of them are barely hanging on. Now is the time for us to help our businesses survive by supporting them with our dollars. We can make a difference by thinking "local first" before taking dollars outside of the Blaine area.
I also worry about the many volunteer organizations in our community. They are equally at risk in these difficult economic times. Blaine has a wonderful history of volunteer organizations that have made a difference. Just think of all the good things that would not get done if we did not have volunteers. In our small town they are a very important part of the fabric that makes our community a great place to live.
When we have asked you what it is about Blaine that you hope never changes, you invariably tell us that you want to preserve the feeling of "small community." By this you mean the feeling of being connected to one another. You know your neighbors and community leaders. You support your schools and churches. It is this connectiveness and generosity that will allow our community to survive in these times and grow stronger.
There are many things over which we have little control. But, we should not feel hopeless or helpless. Our hope will guide us toward a better time and a better future. Our generosity and helpfulness will fuel our hope, hasten our recovery and strengthen this wonderful place we call our home.

Test Driver
Drips high class testosterone with enough quirks to scare me away by Jack on 07/07/2014. Trim: 2014 Land Rover LR4.
Pros: Good cargo space; looks great; high, upright seating; strong acceleration
Cons: Odd wheel size; terrible reliability reputation; very little dealer selection and new-vehicle orders can take several months. I did not buy this vehicle so I have no direct reliability experience; thus I gave the survey a "10" but have no direct data either way..
Overall review: I compared this to a Lexus GX and although I had a slight preference for the LR4, I bought the GX instead. Why?...1)The standard 19-inch wheel size on the LR4 is odd. There is small selection in the way of tires when replacement is eventually needed; also, there are very few "all-terrain" tires available for 19-inch wheels if you should actually wish to use the LR4's legendary off-road capability. The 20-inch wheel option is no better because of its low-profile tire sizing and similarly few tire options. That alone makes me think that Land Rover has lost its way by advertising off-road capability but not the basic tires to go with it. Somebody didn't think it all the way through. 2) Also, LR's dismal reliability reputation just spooked me. Even the dealer, when I asked, admitted to a history of substantial problems. It's a shame, because I really wanted to buy this vehicle, as it's one of the last remaining true SUVs.

A 19-year-old man is dead, and two men injured, after an alcohol-related crash in the Bitterroot Valley Thursday morning. The accident happened before 5:30 a.m. at the intersection of Fairgrounds Road and Eastside Highway, near Hamilton High School.
Montana Highway Patrol troopers said a southbound pick up crossed over the highway's center line, and crashed head-on, into a northbound Northwestern Energy vehicle. Troopers said the 21-year-old driver who caused the accident is being treated for critical injuries in Missoula.
The passenger in the pick up died at the scene. Troopers said neither of the young men in the pickup were wearing seat belts, and alcohol was a factor in the accident. The 56-year-old Northwestern Energy driver suffered minor injuries.

February 1, 2011 / News
Eighteen years ago, when I first opened a bed and breakfast in downtown Vancouver and called it the Manor Guest House, I decided that since my family and I are vegetarians, we would serve only vegetarian breakfasts. However, though we implemented this decision, we never advertised it. We didn't deny it either. We would often post recipes on our website, or sample breakfast menus, all of which indicated that we don't serve meat (we do serve eggs, smoked salmon and cheese), but we never came right out and said it.
Truth to tell, we were concerned that it would turn people off. We needn't have worried.
As it turned out, guests loved the variety of our buffet breakfasts and constantly ask us for recipes. And the odd thing was that in 18 years only one person commented to us on the absence of meat, and it was not in the nature of a complaint. So we quietly continued with our meatless ways.
In the course of time it became very natural for us to cater to vegans, or to people with special dietary needs, such as grain free, gluten free, dairy free or nut free food. We also discovered that once observant Jews and Moslems discovered we were vegetarian, they were more comfortable choosing us as a Vancouver bed and breakfast because they didn't have to be concerned with meat that was unacceptable to them.
Another of our breakfast policies that I kept secret was that we offer low fat options. As a somewhat fanatic weight watcher myself, I felt that I couldn't in good conscience offer people what I wouldn't choose myself, namely dishes made with heavy cream sauces, such as Eggs Benedict, which are standard fare at many bed and breakfasts. I was afraid that if I made this policy public, people would avoid us because they might think our breakfasts might be skimpy and unappetizing.
I am also a food vigilante and I labels, so that I stay away from foods that have additives and preservatives. What happens is that I end up making just about everything from scratch – which is exactly what we do at the Manor. So to please everyone, (including me) we offer a buffet with richer food choices as well as low fat choices such as fresh fruit salad, low fat, probiotic yogurts, and bs and muffins made with whole grains. And David, our very own Red Seal chef, dazzles with his creative brilliance.
How times have changed! We no longer have to keep our food policies secret. We are proud to say that we are the only vegetarian bed and breakfast in Vancouver! Always keen gardeners, as time went on it became "natural" for us to grow our own vegetables and herbs. Our produce is organic: we don't use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. We can honestly say that we offer healthy choices.
