You've seen it: the cringe-worthy party pics tagged of one of your friends (or even you) where foundation is totally off, eyeshadow looks completely washed out, and lashes are hanging for dear life. *cue Psycho theme song*
What's a girl to do?
Well with a few techniques, you can ensure you won't be secretly untagging your pics next time you sign on Facebook. You're not always guaranteed your photo op will be taken with a high resolution camera so be prepared. Check this out:
Skip any face products that contain SPF (unless you're taking pics outdoors) as they can tend to make your face look "ashy" and discolored once the flash hits it.
Use a foundation primer like Laura Mercier Foundation Primer or Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer after moisturizing to prep the face for foundation. A good foundation primer will help to reduce the appearance of pores and will allow foundation to last longer.
Use a foundation that isn't too matte or too dewy. Anything 'too matte' can make you look sickly and anything 'too dewy' can make you look extremely shiny in photos. For flawless coverage that comes in an amazing amount of shades for skin of color, try Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation. Make sure your foundation matches your neck. And keep in mind that for many brown girls, the use of two different colored foundations may be needed to provide a more natural look since we don't all come in one even tone.
Carry blot powder or blotting papers to touch-up any shiny areas. Shine will translate to "grease" in a picture. Try MAC Blot Powder (or plain ole toilet paper if you're in a bind).
This should go without saying, but facial hair + pics = disaster. Get rid of excess facial hair and be sure to properly groom your brows.
Always start with an eyeshadow primer. It'll make your eyeshadow last longer and the color payoff will be amazing. I can't say enough about Urban Decay Primer Potion, but MAC Paint is also a good choice, too.
Go easy on the shimmer and glitter or be prepared to look like a disco ball. Also steer clear of chalky colored shades (which some times can look pretty in person) as they can appear stark white in photos. In general matte eyeshadow shades tend to photograph better than their shimmery counterparts, but there are some satin and slightly shimmery finishes that look great on camera, too. The key is balance.
Apply a touch of sheer gold or silver shadow in the inside corners of your eyes to make them appear big and bright. Don't forget the mascara!
Do NOT forget to apply blush. You may even want to give your cheeks an extra dusting of blush for photographs to avoid looking washed out no matter how light or deep your complexion is. Not sure what to do with blush? Check out my post on Blush 101.
To make lip color more vibrant and to help it last longer, after applying a lip moisturizer (good ole Chapstick works perfectly) line your lips and fill them in with a lip pencil that closely matches your lip color. Blend the pencil so that no sharp lines are visible. Then apply your favorite lip color. Avoid frosty, very glossy, or very shimmery shades as these tend to not translate well in photos. For skin of color, a bold matte or cream lipstick in a vivid shade looks great.
When your face is done, a few spritzes of MAC Fix+ Spray are very necessary to keep skin looking fresh. If you tend to get oily, try Urban Decay De Slick Makeup Setting Spray to help your makeup last and keep shine at bay.
Tools of the Trade:
Have any horror or success stories to share about your makeup pics? Leave them in the comments ;)
Hey Danielle!! So I finally used the lustre drops and I, er, uh…..
Ok, so here's a tragic photo story. This is when I was new to MSF's and the glittery horror that comes with them. I would apply it all over the face pretty much like you would a face powder! LOL. Went to a dinner party one night, took pics, the next day, I'm tagged in pics. I'm thinking, "yes!" Because I just know I was crute that night. Uh, no ma'am!! I looked like a fool had threw confetti all over my face!! LOL!! Never again.
I love this!! Thanks
Yay! Glad you liked the lustre drops, Joanne_!
Girl, I am cracking UP at your MSF story…lol. Especially the "I just I know I was crute that night" part….lol. Which MSF was it?
Thanks Danielle, I have tragic pictures that of course I have been tagged on Facebook. I can deal with the shiny face but what I can't stand and can't figure out is how ashy and gray my eyes look in pictures when wearing concealer. What am I doing wrong???? HELP!!!!
Hey Cherokee!
Might be some SPF in that concealer or it *might* be too light. What brand and shade of concealer are you using? Can you link me to a pic of you somewhere—you can email the link to me here: http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/contact/. I won't post or share your pics but it helps me help you ;)
Hey Danielle,
This year before my birthday dinner I took pics of myself before heading out. I put on a mix of greens, browns and golds but when I looked at the pics, my eyeshadow looked red in the pics. Why is this?
It was Cheeky Bronze. I like it now though, now that I know how to use it. Hehehehe
Thx for listing the products we can try…so helpful!!! love posts like this:)
love the tips. could u do a post on how to apply foundation and powder so we dont get those awful streaks etc. on our faces. thx
Thanks, ladies :)
Kris, I'll see what I can cook up ;)
@Jenn Hey—what did you put underneath the shadows? Could just be the lighting or the angle of the pic. Can you also contact me here: http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/contact/ with a link to some pics so I can help you figure out the problem?
Danielle, this was all too true for me in one picture.
I took one picture at a club and my eyebrows were gone! I looked like ET and it was not pretty.
I've been darkening my brows before I leave the house ever since, just in case friends want to whip out the camera.
Thanks Danielle, I will get those pics out to you.

Self-employed National Insurance rates
You usually pay 2 types of National Insurance if you're self-employed:
- Class 2 if your profits are over £5,885 a year - apply for a small earnings exception if they're less
- Class 4 if your profits are over £7,956 a year
You work out your profits by deducting your expenses from your self-employed income.
How much you pay
|Rate for tax year 2014 to 2015
|Class 2
|£2.75 a week
|Class 4
|9% on profits between £7,956 and £41,865
2% on profits over £41,865
There will be new rates from 6 April 2015. You can also see National Insurance rates for past tax years.
How to register
If you haven't done a Self Assessment tax return before, register your business with HMRC - you'll register for Class 2 National Insurance at the same time.
If you've done a tax return before, either:
- fill in and send form CWF1 if you're a sole trader
- contact HMRC if you're in a business partnership
You don't need to register for Class 4 National Insurance.
Register to pay Class 2 National Insurance as soon as you start working for yourself. You may have to pay a penalty if you don't tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) you're self-employed.
How to pay
Pay your Class 2 National Insurance after HMRC sends you a payment request in April.
Pay Class 4 National Insurance through your Self Assessment tax return.
From 6 April 2015, you won't need to register for Class 2 or Class 4 National Insurance - your payments will be added to your bill after you've filed your Self Assessment tax return.

Dems Approve Platform Including Marriage Equality, ENDA
August 13, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Dan Rafter, former HRC Associate Director of Communications
The Democratic Party's full platform committee has unanimously approved the party's 2012 platform, which for the first time includes support for marriage equality. The platform also explicitly supports an inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
The platform language around marriage equality:
We support the right of all families to have equal respect, responsibilities, and protections under the law. We support marriage equality and support the movement to secure equal treatment under law for same-sex couples. We also support the freedom of churches and religious entities to decide how to administer marriage as a religious sacrament without government interference.
We oppose discriminatory federal and state constitutional amendments and other attempts to deny equal protection of the laws to committed same-sex couples who seek the same respect and responsibilities as other married couples. We support the full repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act and the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act.
And ENDA:
We know that putting America back to work is job one, and we are committed to ensuring Americans do not face employment discrimination. We support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act because people should not be fired based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The full platform now must be ratified at the party's convention next month in Charlotte, N.C.

The White Sox dealt outfielder Blake Tekotte to Arizona for cash considerations and promoted former first-round pick Jared Mitchell to Triple-A on Saturday.
Tekotte hit .251/.324/.438 in 81 games with Triple-A Charlotte this year. The Columbia, Mo., native was traded to the White Sox in November 2012 for minor league pitcher Brandon Kloess and appeared in 20 games for the White Sox in 2013.
[MORE: Jim Thome signs one-day contract, retires with Cleveland]
Mitchell, the White Sox first-round pick in 2009, struggled in his first go-around with Charlotte this year. Playing his third season in Triple-A, Mitchell hit .199 with 78 strikeouts in 53 games before a demotion to Double-A, where he hit .299/.367/.561 for Birmingham.

Join us for this first Great British Dog Walk at the National Trust's Hanbury Hall and enjoy a great family day out!
Your emotions today are like a piece of bacon dropped into a hot frying pan: They`re twitching, popping and sizzling. You`re stuck in this spot for now, but there`s a lot you can do to distract yourself. Keep busy physically. Active hands and plenty of movement will counteract your emotional state and could even mute the effect enough to give you long stretches of peace. By the time you get a chance to share your feelings, you`ll have a better handle on them.
An elaborate dinner party involves a considerable amount of work but is a deeply satisfying way to share quality time with friends and family. Go all out on your preparations. You may even want to set this event up as a formal occasion or give it a special theme. The creativity you demonstrate in designing the menu and table settings, preparing the food and serving it with flair will stimulate other ideas for equally enjoyable ways to express your artistry.
You`ve got money on your mind today and nothing can dislodge your financial concerns from their place of prominence. Worrying over this is going on primarily inside your head, but family members will be able to tell from the set of your mouth and the occasional snappish response that something`s bugging you. Woe to the child or spouse who asks for extra money, especially if you consider the purchase frivolous and ill timed. Are you being too controlling?
A strong sense of anticipation follows you all day. It`s as if you`re on the brink of a major discovery or significant personal breakthrough. Nothing seems impossible right now, but at the same time you may be feeling somewhat emotional with a heightened sense of the importance of your nearest and dearest to your life. Remember that hugging your child for no obvious reason or whispering endearments to your partner are good practices for everyday, and not just when you are feeling so blessed.
It`s not all that often that you find yourself cast in the role of mediator, but today your temperament is just right for handling a touchy situation. With careful words and a friendly smile, you can make inroads where others cannot because the combatants appreciate that you are trying to be fair. Keep trying even if you secretly think you`re in over your head. Good results will crown your efforts.
Everybody decides to visit you, so forget about trying to impose any structure on your day. So what if dust bunnies fly across the floor every time someone walks through the living room or the newspapers are piled up in three-foot stacks beside the couch? No one`s here to critique your housekeeping; they`re here to spend a few hours in friendship and conversation. Pull out the beverages, throw together a plate of quick snacks and relax and enjoy a sociable afternoon.
You know that long list of stuff you wanted to do today? Forget about it. One thing after another comes up to thwart your plans. You`ll be miles ahead if you surrender early on to spontaneity. Whether chauffeuring the kids all over town to activities you didn`t know about, picking up a parent whose car won`t start or handling another half-dozen impromptu requests, keep your humor and your family will cherish you even more for your laid-back approach.
"You could luck out and find a fabulous sale today. Something you`ve had your eye on for a while could be marked down so drastically that you can buy it without feeling the least bit guilty. It`s fun to treat yourself to something really special now and again, but guard against the temptation to indulge even more. You`ll find it much harder to justify additional purchases. Something different for lunch sounds good.
Problem-solving is not on the agenda in your household today. Everybody seems to be speaking a different language, so communication could be all but impossible. You won`t be able to agree on how to spend the afternoon, either. Some will be eager for physical activity, while others think the movie theater is a perfect destination. Split up into camps according to your inclinations and then share your experiences over dinner.
You could be right in the middle of an interesting story in the morning paper when a totally unexpected and out-of-the-blue verbal spat practically knocks you off the couch. Responding with anger and irritation is a sure way to escalate the conflict. If you listen, though, you will soon discover that what you initially perceived as an attack is simply another`s way of opening a dialogue about a situation that has very little to do with you. You`d rather read the paper, but compassion will carry the day.
You really can`t put off a home repair much longer. You may as well dig out the tools and tackle it today, whether it`s a dripping faucet, a loose floorboard, a running toilet or some other minor annoyance. Sure, you`d much rather spend the afternoon lazing around or taking a drive, but look on this exercise as a challenge to your tendency for procrastination. Be truthful with yourself: Have you been challenging yourself enough lately?
You and your special someone are as inseparable as peanut butter and jelly today and just as sweet. Instead of spending the afternoon doing the same kinds of things that you usually do, suggest something completely different. Maybe you`ll want to go hang-gliding, take a horse and buggy ride through the historic section of your city or pack a wine-and-cheese picnic for a romantic spot by the river. Maybe you`ll want to do all of those things. The point is to think creatively.

Rob Kardashian Jr net worth: Rob Kardashian Jr. has a net worth of $2.75 million. While he largely has his parents to thank for his net worth, he has managed to achieve a heightened level of fame that many people would only dream of achieving. In addition to being one of the stars of the hit reality shows Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Khloe & Lamar, he's made his name as a model and talent manager. Born in 1987 in Los Angeles, he is one of four children by Robert Kardashian (from whom he gets his famous name) and Kris Houghton Kardashian Jenner. As a talent agent, Kardashian was integral to the formation and success of the pop group BG5. The group, originally managed by Kardashian's mother Kris, has appeared on television on Keeping up with The Kardashians. Kardashian has also appeared on the popular TV game show Dancing with the Stars, during the show's 13th season. In 2011, he participated in the NBA Celebrity Game, and had a well-publicized split with girlfriend Adrienne Bailon. He later admitted that this break up was the result of his own infidelity within the relationship. Kardashian has taken on several business ventures working with PerfectSkin, Rival Spot, the BG5, and more recently launching his own sock line, Arthur George, while also designing a men's line with Scott Disick for the Kardashian Kollection stocked in Sears.

JAMA-Journal of the American Medical Association, 291:2581-2590.
Context Little is known about the extent or severity of untreated mental disorders, especially in less-developed countries. Objective To estimate prevalence, severity, and treatment of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) mental disorders in 14 countries (6 less developed, 8 developed) in the World Health Organization (WHO) World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative. Design, Setting, and Participants Face-to-face household surveys of 60463 community adults conducted from 2001-2003 in 14 countries in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Main Outcome Measures The DSM-IV disorders, severity, and treatment were assessed with the WMH version of the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (WMH-CIDI), a fully structured, lay-administered psychiatric diagnostic interview. Results The prevalence of having any WMH-CIDI/DSM-IV disorder in the prior year varied widely, from 4.3% in Shanghai to 26.4% in the United States, with an interquartile range (IQR) of 9.1%-16.9%. Between 33.1% (Colombia) and 80.9% (Nigeria) of 12-month cases were mild (IQR, 40.2%-53.3%). Serious disorders were associated with substantial role disability. Although disorder severity was correlated with probability of treatment in almost all countries, 35.5%.to 50.3% of serious cases in developed countries and 76.3% to 85.4% in less-developed countries received no treatment in the 12 months before the interview. Due to the high prevalence of mild and subthreshold cases, the number of those who received treatment far exceeds the number of untreated serious cases in every country. Conclusions Reallocation of treatment resources could substantially decrease the problem of unmet need for treatment of mental disorders among serious cases. Structural barriers exist to this reallocation. Careful consideration needs to be given to the value of treating some mild cases,. especially those at risk for progressing to more serious disorders.

I've been given a recipe for a cider that goes like this
1.5kg tart apples
5.7L water
1kg sugar
Juice & rind of one lemon
Freeze the apples for 3 days then defrost & puree. Pour into a clean bucket & pour over water. Cover with a clean tea-towel. Stir twice a day for 7 days.
Strain through 'cheesecloth' & discard pulp. pour juice back into the bucket & add sugar & lemon. Leave 24 hours, strain again & bottle.
My gut feeling is that this will be low Alc, lolly water. Would that be a fair assumption?
Seems like it to me.
If you go listen to the "Cider Again" episode of the Jamil show, the guest gives some really good advice on cider making. He never mentioned using apple puree. You would be better off sourcing quality juice from cider apples or the "house" blend from an apple farm.
I know there is some luck using wild yeast to ferment cider, but it comes down to luck unless you are using a cultured strain, or a strain you captured.
In the cider episode, the guest mentions that since cider is a rarity in the US, home cider makers tend to become partial to their brew. Even if it tastes funny. This recipe seems like a "bathtub gin" method at best.

Comfy Couch Pet Bed 2092 2216
Elegant Cushy Bed Loved this pet bed, extremely well made and gives my dog support and the cushion does not breakdown as in other dog beds. The spoiled guy I have really seems to love it!!!! July 11, 2013
Greatest Dog Bed Ever!! Finally found a bed that keeps our 70lb male Vizsla out of our bed at night!! He loves his new Comfy Couch bed, we bought the extra large and there is ample room for him to stretch out. My female Vizsla (50lbs) enjoys lounging in it during the day (she prefers the loveseat at night). Thanks!! July 9, 2013
Love the doggie bed Mikey's bed has a beautiful design, excellent construction, easy to clean and comfy pillow. July 9, 2013
Comfy Couch pet bed Best dog bed I ever bought. My dogs love it. Very good quality. Very strong materials and very comfortable. I am glad I went with the Extra Large for my 80 Lbs Collie. She has room to move. July 3, 2013
Best Dang Dog Bed EVER A few weeks after getting my new puppy I had the opportunity to visit my sister's home. As she lives in another state I only get this chance once a year. She has the Comfy Couch for her yellow Lab, Cody. My puppy, Blu, loved the Comfy Couch so much I ordered one as soon as we returned home. As he is a puppy he had an accident, I threw the "inside" mattress in the washer and dryer and it came out just like new. Blu and the cats love it...Best Dang Dog Bed EVER! July 2, 2013
Comfy Couch My dog absolutely loves this bed!!! I bought a large so she could stretch out (30lb Weaton Terrier). Product is great quality and trumps all of the other beds i have purchased. Worth the extra money in my opinion. June 26, 2013
Best dog beds EVER!!! My husband and I adopt retired racing greyhounds. They have virtually no body fat and must have soft bedding. We'd gone through many dog beds over the years, and it was time to buy yet another pair of beds. I found Frontgate's Comfy Couch. It was exactly what I had been looking for, but it was pricey. However, the last pair of beds were almost as expensive, and the quality of the Comfy Couches appeared to be much better. After reading many of the reviews, I decided to give them a try. Long story short, I will NEVER buy my dog beds anywhere else! The quality of the construction is amazing. The detail and care with which the zippers were installed surpassed that of people furniture (let's hear it for Canadian craftsmanship#. And when our little girl greyhound was sick recently and I washed the beds for the first time, they still looked brand new afterward; there was no sign that they'd been through the washer and dryer. And the material is not only soft and the cushioning plush, but it stands up to the strongest and most persistent clawings #our boy is fond of nesting). He also loves tossing the bone pillows that came with the beds. I bought the cushion covers and was glad I did. They should make the beds last even longer than they already will. Yes, this bed is more expensive than a lot of others, but it's more than worth it. I don't mind paying extra for such great quality. June 24, 2013
Comfy bed My dog loves this bed. It's very cushiony and soft. June 18, 2013
Perfect!! This quality of this bed is among the best I've ever seen. Plush, sturdy, and must be comfy too, as my Pomeranian took to it immediately! The small was a perfect fit for her 8 lb. frame. The free monogrammed pillow is adorable and so far has held up well despite her occasional chewing. I must mention, too, that Frontgate's customer service is absolutely amazing! The pillow arrived in less than a week, and the original bed, which was lost in transit, was replaced in just a few days. Couldn't be happier with my purchase! June 13, 2013
Pugs Delight! Bought this for my 5yo large Pug Henry. He just loves it. Able to sleep with his chin propped up on the surrounding roll. Very pleased with quality, plush filling substantial,fabric quality high grade. Many compliments from friends. Henry looks like a King in his pomegranate color velour bed! June 13, 2013
Executive Vice President/Human Resources This bed is beautiful, comfortable and is in my living room. The quality is the best as is everything from Frontgate. I am never disappointed in anything I have ever ordered from Frontgate. The order takers are the best, very helpful and very polite. I love this store!!! June 10, 2013
Your Pooch Will Thank You! Our dog loves this bed so much, she prefers it over the human bed! I figured it would be nice, but it's so much better than I thought! June 8, 2013
Love this Purchase Bed is adorable, quality is great and both dogs absolutley love them !! May 31, 2013
Dog loves it! My dog loves the comfy couch pet bed. It certainly lives up to its name! I have a 76 pound, tall, black lab. He fits with plenty of room to spare on the size large bed. We have only had it for a couple of weeks so I cannot speak to its durability, but we are very pleased with the purchase. Friends who have come over and seen the bed are purchasing one for their dog. May 31, 2013
Great purchase My one year Australian Labradoodle loves his new sofa bed, it's so soft and fluffy. But the pillow I have to put it away until he is more mature, because he chews the pillow. May 28, 2013
Best. Dog Bed. Ever This bed is simply fantastic. Really. I have purchased every style/brand of bed out there for my little 45 lb beagle/lab mix (we think, he's a shelter dog) in an effort to deter him from always wanting to sleep on/in our bed, with no luck. And then we got the comfy couch dog bed. Problem solved; in fact, even if coaxed, he prefers to be on his dog bed. Thank you Frontgate, for making a QUALITY product (it's not inexpensive, but honestly is worth the price). May 27, 2013
Dogs Love IT!!! I bought two large beds for my Lab puppies and they absolutely love them. They love to get in the bed at night and they sleep very well. The beds clean up pretty good and the quality of them is good too. No complaints so far and I have had them for a couple of months now. I also like the look of them. May 21, 2013
Excellent Purchase for my Dog!! My boxer loves the comfy couch pet bed, and so do I!! It's a wonderful product, and I would highly recommend this bed!! May 21, 2013
Comfy Couch Pet bed Our Papillons LOVE this couch and so do we. It is everything expected. Comfortable, attractive and such fun for our 2 furkids May 17, 2013
Comfy Couch Pet Bed I recently purchased two of these beds; one for my small dog and the largest for my lab. (I'm trying to get them off of my couch.) The beds are very high quality, and I love the red! Both Holly and Trixie love their new beds; they immediately crawled into them. I would highly recommend this item. May 16, 2013
Dog heaven! Our dogs loved the first set of Comfy Couches so much, we bought a second set for them for another room! They wash beautifully, and are easy to put back together. They are BIG! May 13, 2013
Worth every penny! I have two English Bulldogs and these are the best beds they have ever had. I have spent so much money on cheap beds that don't last or fall apart - I would have been better off to buy these from the beginning - I would have saved so much money! They are very high quality and super easy to wash. Some beds are easy to wash but don't clean up well - these emerge from the washer and dryer like new. I did order the gray and it looks gray, not blue like in the picture in case anyone needs to know that. The bolster sides are sturdy and the bottom removable cushion is thick. My dogs weigh 60 lbs each and they each have a large. If you have a bigger breed you definitely want to order an extra large so that they can stretch out. April 30, 2013
Love this Item Unfortunately, I liked this product more than our dog did. He never went near it or cozied up in it. So, I had to return it . Like everything else I order from FG, quality is tops. April 23, 2013
love it Best bed yet I have purchased. Would highly recommend. Only problem pillow was too big for the bed purchased. April 18, 2013
Dog couch Excellent quality and comfort for my best friend, Sandy a Golden Retriever. April 16, 2013
It's a hit! We bought this bed for our Golden but our rescue dog took one look at it's been his ever since! If it's in the room, he's in it! April 16, 2013
Amazing Pet Bed This is the second of this bed that we purchased. My dog loved the first one so much that I bought this second one for the downstairs living room. They are plush and very large and easy to put together when it first arrives. I do recommend buying the extra cover for the center pillow as it makes washing and cleaning much easier. The pillow is also cute and comes with a cover that can be taken off and washed. My dog is a lab/rottie mix and weighs 113 pounds. There's so much room that my two year old nephew can sit with him on the bed (or three kids can fit easily on it too). If you are worried that it's more than other dog beds, don't be. This bed is amazing! We've had several different types of dog beds over the years and I'll never by anything but this bed again!! April 12, 2013
Amazing! This dog bed is perfection! It really is even better in real life than it looks in the catalog. The online photo, as well as the print catalog photo do not do the dog bed justice. People actually think it's a little couch for my children. The bed looks sumptuous, but more importantly, is incredibly comfy for my 85 lb. German Shepherd.... with more than enough space to spread out. The bone-shaped pillow is a little useless for us, but may be good for others. I'm not sure how durable it is yet...haven't had it long enough to tell. April 12, 2013
Comfy Couch Dog Bed Our beagle, after being rescued, became accustomed to staying on her foster "mom's" couch. We couldn't break her habit when we adopted her until we bought the Frontgate couch dog bed. It's the first and only bed she has used. The quality of its construction is excellent and it's easy to clean. We were so pleased that we purchased a second one for her to use. April 12, 2013
My rottie loves it My 110 lbs rottweiler loves the bed. She fits perfect in it and looks very comfortable. Worth the money! April 9, 2013

Additional information about htisch could not be loaded.
I have a 25 pound beagle. I think the medium will fit, but I'm hesitant to hit the buy button. I drew the detentions on the floor in my garage, and the outside is fine, it's the inside I'm concerned about her fitting in. Getting a large would take up too much space. Do you have some kind of size chart, or something to compare certain dogs in certain beds to get an idea if they would have any room to lounge, or do they have to lay in a ball?

On 6 March 2012, the ICA ordered the connection to the online fashion store PRIVATE OUTLET's website to be blocked for the whole Italian territory. The reasons for these measures were that this company would have published content that may have misled consumers about the availability of the products offered for sale and it would have provided obstacles to the replacement of some products that were different than those ordered, as well as to the return of money in the case of delivery failure. This is the first internet blocking measure taken by the ICA.

Team mascots, whether for high schools, colleges or professional athletic teams, have emotional ties to those on the team or who cheer for the teams.
Cougars, Huskies, Ducks and Beavers, as well as Lions, Tigers and Bears (oh my), are important. So, too, are names associated with Native Americans — Indians, Braves and Chieftains, for example.
So when the state of Oregon's Board of Education imposed a policy banning all Native American mascot names — forcing eight current mascots into retirement — it planted the seeds for a brouhaha.
The Legislature stepped in to loosen the ban, approving legislation that allows Native American mascots to remain as long as schools get written permission from the nearest tribe.
But now Gov. John Kitzhaber believes the legislation is too broad, so he's using his veto pen to keep it from becoming law. The governor said he prefers an approach in which schools could use the specific name of a tribe with that tribe's permission, such as the Florida State Seminoles.
The debate is far from over — and not just in Oregon.
Since the 1970s, more than 600 high school and college teams in the country have eliminated their Native American nicknames and mascots.
Native American names — from Indians to Redskins — offend some Native Americans and others. The names promote stereotypes and, from their eyes, are depicted in a derogatory ways.
The counter to the concerns is that the act of adopting a nickname or mascot is a sign of respect as it becomes a symbol for that school.
The various positions are understandable. Given the emotions, on all sides, even attempting to reach compromise — as is evidenced in Oregon — is difficult.
But if reasonable people are truly offended by mascots linked to their heritage, their feelings must be considered.
Look at it this way. Would Braves or Redskins even be considered as nicknames today?
Braves, perhaps. As for Redskins, absolutely not!
So let's start at the national level by eliminating Redskins as the nickname for the pro football team based in Washington, D.C. The term has a history of being used as a racial epithet outside of its NFL use.
After that, mascots that refer to any indigenous people should have a thoughtful look as to their appropriateness to the particular schools, communities and regions.

text: Brazilian bikini, the plus-size collection, hits the beach Wanderlust Wanderlust Money Living Sexuality Brazil Iva Roze on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM Bikini-clad women sunbathe at the artificial lake Piscinao de Ramos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Cancel your Copocabana beach vacation now. Apparently, not everyone in Brazil looks like Gisele Bundchen. At least that's what Brazilian swim suit manufacturers have discovered. That's why their new collections are increasingly targeted not at the way Victoria's Secret catalogs present the "girls from Ipanema", but to real Brazilian women. Namely those with a bit more "junk in the trunk" than your average supermodel, the AP reports. This, needless to say, presents a bit of a challenge. Let's start by saying there is a good reason why Brazilian bikini wax is necessary when wearing Brazilian bikini. That's because swimsuits in Brazil are famous for their utter lack of coverage. And they look different on a size-16 woman than they do on a size-2 woman Victoria's Secret model. For example, a size 14 swimsuit can no longer keep in place only by a combination of a couple strings and sheer willpower. It must use a bit more fabric than your typical dental floss-style thong. Still, Brazilian manufacturers are proud they have managed to come up with a plus-size collection significantly more audacious than the standard US "mumu cover" style bathing suits. You can see the models of one such manufacturer, Lehona, here. Please note — and if you a female, rejoice — contrary to the popular belief, Brazilian women do actually have cellulite, too.

Nice and good restaurant for this calm city. Good portion plates. Tried breakfast as well as lunch and they are both good. Good service. Smiling employees. Ok prices.
We stopped by L'estaminet when we looked for a place to eat in a town we knew nothing about. Seeing the restaurant being pretty busy made us think that it should be a pretty good stop to eat. The waitress spoke good english and had no problem serving us. We ended up having the Italian pasta which was Pasta with...
The food was pretty good and the service was really great. Our server made some great dessert recommendations. We should have asked her about dinner choices because the pizza we ordered was pretty average.
We decided to try this place based on the reviews on this site. Perhaps it was the choice we made off the large menu but my husband and I both ordered the same chicken pesto pizza and it was one of the worst pizzas I've ever tried. They claim to make them in an authentic italian style but I'm not...
The restaurant has lively and pleasantly decorated interior. There were plenty of good selections and some of them were uniquely fusion. My wife and I both ordered spaghetti, very unique, and they were excellent. Service was good.
It takes forever to be greeted here. And then a long wait after you are seated. The waitresses are too busy gossiping with friends and regulars. The waitress didn't know the menu and we both had to repeat our choices because she was listening to her workmates gossip while taking our orders. Food took forever and was average. The interior...
Great music and atmosphere. We went out to eat on a Thursday night and most places along the street were pretty dead, but this restaurant was very busy! The servers are very nice and professional, and best of all, the food is superb! We both had burgers, which were fantastic. i don't usually like burgers, but these were so great!...
There were 9 in our party, 6 adults and 3 children. The food was universally terrible except for the frites. We sent our mussels back because in addition to being terribly over done, the cook had thickened the sauce with so much flour it looked like the mussels were coated in cheese. Disgusting! The salmon was also over cooked and...
Good food, great presentation.
They have a whole menu just for moules et frites.
Their kids menu has the same options as all kids menu in North america, but the food is well made and tasted good.
Their menu is huge and had too much variety, but it seems that they are able to keep up with it.
The desserts...
If you go here, I highly recommend the burgers. Unique and extremely tasty!! As a beer lover I was also super happy with the extensive beer menu. Staff were really friendly and helpful (they gave us English menus and were happy to serve us mostly in English, although we did try some French too :) ).

A vapor generating and recovering apparatus for vaporizing a liquid and condensing a vapor, the apparatus including a container having a liquid therein with a heating and cooling system in heat transfer relation with the liquid and vapor in the container. The heating and cooling system includes means to vaporize the liquid and means to condense the vaporized liquid disposed within the container. The apparatus further includes means to remove liquid from the container and return same to the container in the form of a liquid spray at boiling or higher temperatures.
1. In a vapor generating and recovering apparatus for vaporizing a liquid and condensing vapor, including a housing having at least one cleaning compartment therein, said compartment having a liquid and a vapor therein, the improvement comprising:
first heating means in heat transfer relation with said liquid in a liquid zone in said compartment; first cooling means in heat absorbing relation with the vapor in a vapor zone in the compartment; means to transfer liquid from said liquid zone to said vapor zone; and, means to spray liquid from the means to transfer liquid at a temperature at least equal to the boiling point of the liquid whereby upon spraying of an object to be cleaned the vapor zone is prevented from collapsing.
2. In the vapor generating and recovering apparatus of claim 1, said means to transfer liquid including second heat means to add heat to said liquid.
3. In the vapor generating and recovering apparatus of claim 2, said second heat means being from the same heat source as said first heat means.
4. In the vapor generating and recovering apparatus of claim 2, said second heat means being from a source separate from said first means.
5. In the vapor generating and recovering apparatus of claim 1, said first heat means and said first cooling means being in the same refrigeration system, said first heat means being the condenser and said first cooling means being the evaporator.
This invention relates to a vapor generating and recovering apparatus for vaporizing a liquid and condensing a vapor and more particularly relates to an improved apparatus having means for removing liquid from the container and returning same to the container in the form of a spray at boiling or higher temperatures.
In the present state of the art, vapor generating and recovering devices for vaporizing and condensing a liquid are utilized in many different areas. For example, in the cleaning of objects such as metallic tools, plastic parts, and the like, hot or boiling solvents have been utilized to remove undesirable soluble and particulate matter from these tools, parts, and the like by immersing the soiled object into hot or boiling solvent. In bringing the solvent to a boiling temperature, a solvent vapor zone is created above the boiling solvent solution in the tank or chamber in which objects may be placed for cleaning. The vaporized solvent is then subjected to cooling or condensing means and is recovered.
In some operations, spraying of hard to clean objects, sensitive devices, and entrapment items with a hot volatile solvent is a preferred method of cleaning. This spraying of a volatile solvent for cleaning objects is usually done in lieu of immersion in a boiling or cold liquid solvent environment, or cold spray.
It has now been found that a vapor generating and recovering apparatus for vaporizing a liquid and then condensing the vaporized liquid in the cleaning of objects, the cleaning can be accomplished by spraying the liquid into the vapor zone of the apparatus at a temperature equal to or greater than the boiling temperature of the liquid. It has been found that in cleaning certain objects, spraying a solvent onto the object to be cleaned can be performed in a vapor zone of a vapor generating and recovering apparatus without breaking the vapor level. By spraying the cleaning solvent at or above the boiling temperature of the solvent, the vapor level or zone will not collapse and therefore enables the cleaning of certain objects by use of a spray at boiling temperatures or above in a vapor zone without the vapor escaping from the container. The advantages of spraying, boiling, or super-heated liquid include improved solvency, impingement cleaning, rapid evaporation from the part, immediate heat transfer to the part, carrier, or conveyor, and the absense of heat transfer to the vapor which reduces distillation and collapses the vapor. The ultimate result is reduction of organic chemical emmissions and money savings.
In the present invention, the heating and cooling system may include a refrigerant compressor, a main refrigerant condenser, expansion means, and a refrigerant evaporator wherein the condenser and evaporator are disposed within a container which includes the liquid therein for removing heat from the system. However, it is also realized that the heating and cooling portions of the system may be independent of each other and the energy requirements therefore supplied from different sources.
In the spraying of the solvent the solvent is generally pumped from the liquid zone of the apparatus and sprayed into the vapor zone. As the liquid is generally at boiling temperature during operation, additional heat is not necessary to maintain the solvent at boiling temperature. However, under some conditions additional heat is necessary to maintain the solvent at boiling temperature and under other conditions where spraying is desired at temperatures exceeding boiling, additional heat means is also required with higher discharge pressures.
More particularly, in a vapor generating and recovering apparatus for vaporizing a liquid and condensing a vapor, including a housing having at least one compartment therein, the compartment having a liquid therein, the improvement comprising: heating means in heat transfer relation with the liquid in a liquid zone in the compartment, cooling means in heat absorbing relation with the vapor in a vapor zone in the compartment; means to transfer liquid from the liquid zone to the vapor zone; and, means to spray liquid from the means to transfer liquid at a temperature at least equal to the boiling point of the liquid.
In preferred utilization of the vapor generating and recovery devices of the present invention, specifically in relation to a vapor cleaning device, a more fully described apparatus is hereinafter discussed.
Referring to the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a preferred vapor generating and recovering apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing one modification of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of another preferred vapor generating and recovering apparatus of the present invention; and,
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of even another vapor generating and recovering apparatus of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a container 102 for vaporizing a liquid 103 and then condensing the vaporized liquid is provided. Disposed within the liquid and near the bottom of the container 102 is a heating coil 104 which provides heat to vaporize the liquid 103. Heating coil 104 is a condensing coil in a heating and cooling system to be discussed hereinafter.
Disposed within the vapor zone of the container 102 is a cooling coil 108, cooling coil 108 being generally an evaporating coil in a heating and cooling system which will be discussed hereinafter. Cooling coil 108 is provided to maintain a preselected temperature in the container below the vaporizing temperature of the liquid.
In the heating and cooling system of FIG. 1, shown schematically, a compressor 110, of the type used in refrigerating systems, compresses a suitable refrigerant which flows to the compressor 110 in a refrigerant section conduit 112. Provided within conduit 112 is a suction accumulator 113 which conditions the refrigerant to compressor 110. Suction accumulator 113 is utilized to provide gaseous refrigerant to compressor 110.
Compressor 110 compresses the suitable gaseous refrigerant to a preselected pressure and the pressurized hot refrigerant gas flows from the compressor 110 through conduit 116 to the heating coil 104, discussed previously, wherein the refrigerant is condensed therein and upon condensing vaporizes the liquid 103 which is disposed within container 102.
Dual pressure control switch 117 is provided and is operable in response to change in the pressure on each side of the compressor 110 and is a feature utilized to shut down the heating and cooling system when the system is being pumped down or exceeds preselected upper pressure limits.
In some devices, it is desired to utilize a plurality of heat emitting chambers and in this instance a plurality of condensing units 132 are utilized and disposed within vaporizing chamber or sub-chambers (not shown) generally similar to containor 102. As shown, condensers 104 and 132 are in parallel and a solenoid valve 134 is provided to shut off refrigerant flow to the condenser 132 when the chamber(s) in which the condenser(s) 132 is utilized is not in use. Furthermore, a check valve 136 is provided to prevent back up of refrigerant into condenser 132 when not in use.
The condensed or pressurized liquid refrigerant then flows through conduit 131 to conventional liquid refrigerant receiver 133. In a preferred embodiment, receiver 133 operates as a complementary condenser to balance energy into the system, In this mode, receiver 133 includes a heat exchanger 172 operable in response to the actuation of a pressure sensing device 170 in line 131. The heat transfer fluid may be water and is controlled by actuating of control valve 174 in response to the preselected pressure sensed by sensing device 170. From the liquid refrigerant receiver 133, the refrigerant flows by way of conduit 135 to a plurality of thermo-expansion valves and direct expansion evaporating coils in parallel, each thermo-expansion valve being in series with an evaporating coil. Two evaporating coils 108 and 143 with thermoexpansion valves 147 and 149, respectively, are shown in the Figures. Evaporator coil 143 is the supplementary evaporator and is disposed to provide heat to the system transferring said heat from an external source, such as a warm air blower 145, to maintain the heat transfer across exchanger 108 at a preselected rate. Heat exchanger 143, being outside container 102, is operable, for example, in response to a pressure control device 159 in the high pressure refrigerant line 131 and, in turn, actuates and controls solenoid valve 153. Control valve 153 is also in electrical communication with warm air blower 145 actuating the blower 145 in response to flow through valve 153. However, it is relaized that other forms of control and sensing devices may be utilized for sensing and controlling the flow of refrigerant through the supplemental evaporator 143. Also, other means of adding heat to the refrigerant, such as water, heat transfer fluid, and the like may be used instead of warm air.
In the Figures, hot boiling solvent 103 is pumped from the bottom of container 102 by pump 150 through conduit 152 to the vapor zone 154. Solvent 103 is then sprayed by a known spray device 156 into the vapor zone 154.
