|Those of you flocking here from the horror that is Facebook, or any that have been here for a while, or maybe even never a part of FB, some pointers to get you started.First thing to know if you type a question mark pretty much anywhere (as long as you don't have a text field in focus, in other words a blinking cursor where you would type text) in G+ you get a little pop up that gives you some handy basic keyboard shortcuts.If you are new here and and you are looking to make your feed more active, click the two little circles labeled Find people in the icons down the left side of the G+ page. There you can search for people you know and add them to your circles. Circles are what G+ uses to allow you to organize your friends list. G+ starts you off with a few default Circles to use, you just need to add people and/or pages to things you enjoy to one of those circles. Once you have you will see grey buttons at the top of your main feed (The page you get to if you click the big Google+ icon in the top left hand corner). The first button is the default All circles button, here you will see all of the posts of every person/page you have added to any of your circles. Next to the All button you will see buttons with the names of your circles. If you click one of them you will of course see just posts from people/pages in that circle, but also on the rightish side, not quite at the top of the page, you will find a button that says Settings. That is a drop down that gives you two check boxes. One is "Show posts in home stream" the other is "Get Notified of new posts". They pretty much do what they say, and "get notified" means any posts from this circle will make the number between your name and the + Share button in the top right hand corner increment and go red. You can click that number at any time (even if it's red and 0) to get a drop down window which will show a condensed version of all posts from circles you get notified about. It will also notify you any time someone circles you back, and any +1s you have received in posts or comments you have made. As well as, comments in posts you have also commented on. On this Settings button you will also see a grey area that says Amount. If you hover over that you get to choose More, Standard, or Fewer. Which controls how frequently the posts from that circle appear in your feed.If you combine the above tools with the fact that you can change the name of any circle, add as many as you like, and also have people in more than one circle, you have very granular control over what posts you see and when, and exactly who can see your posts. You can also share your circles with other people, as I have done below. If you click the View shared circle button below, you will be able to see all the pages in a circle I call, go figure, Pages. You can look through it and if you like everything you can just add the whole circle as a new circle. Or, you can pick and choose which things you find interesting and add just them to your own circle that you already have or create a new circle. Moving stuff from circle to circle is as easy and dragging the rectangle for that particular page/person and dropping onto the circle you want it to be in. You could also just add this circle in full and then just delete the stuff you don't want (little x in top right hand corner of each rectangle when you hover over it). Or just view this circle to get ideas for what sort of stuff can be searched for, and use the search box at the top of the Find people/Circle page to find stuff you like.Now once you have some friends added to circles, and pages/people you would like to follow added as well, your feed will get much more interesting. Now on to posting your own stuff. In the Share what's new... field at the top of pages, you can of course type anything you like

|This is a Circle that I compiled of G+ users around the world who support the re-election of Barack Obama as President of the U.S. While Obama has certainly not been perfect, we believe that he has been working diligently to improve the U.S. and bring the world's communities closer together. In the face of unprecedented unwillingness on the part of the Republicans in Congress to support his efforts, he has achieved many positive goals. http://pleasecutthecrap.typepad.com/main/what-has-obama-done-since-january-20-2009.htmlWe feel that a Romney presidency would bring us back to the George W. Bush days of reckless wars, less bank and Wall Street regulations, and a dwindling social safety net.Add a comment to this post if you wish to join, and I'll gladly add you in. If your aim is to find fault with Obama, this Circle isn't for you. Go create your own Romney Circle if you wish. If your name was added to this Circle in error, please let me know and I will promptly remove you.This circle is dedicated to a world with less conflict, less hunger and more cooperation between nations.please share widely #obama #obama2012

CAPE CORAL, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a man fatally shot a door-to-door salesman in a southwest Florida neighborhood.
The shooting happened Wednesday afternoon as 30-year-old Nicholas Rainey was selling frozen lobster tails and steaks. Cape Coral police arrested 52-year-old Kenneth Bailey Roop. He's facing second-degree murder charges.
The Fort Myers News-Press (http://newspr.es/MnvcBj ) reports neighbor Gene Snyder heard the gunshots and went to help the victim, who was on the ground in front of the home.
Snyder says he heard someone in the garage say he would "kill everybody or shoot everybody."
That's when an off-duty Collier County corrections deputy showed up and ordered Roop to the ground.
Cape Coral police officers arrived and arrested Roop.
No further details were immediately available.

Odds fish, it's Oak Apple Day
So as the sun beats down outside my window, the bus reverses past my house to turn around, the mobile library is just about to pull up outside my door and four dogs are having a barking match outside the village shop, let me wish you a very merry Oak Apple Day.
It is the birthday of King Charles II and was once a public holiday held to mark the restoration of the monarchy.
I am no monarchist, believe me, but any excuse for a holiday and having fun is OK by me. Besides, I have a strong affinity with Charlie. Local legend has it that my house was one of the many places in which he stayed on his flight from the Battle of Worcester. Surprisingly, this 6ft 2in Moorish-looking young man went unnoticed in 1651 when England was populated by midgets.
Today, though, I can see the curtains of Mrs Bancroft and Night Nurse twitching as they ponder the identity of the dark haired man of similar height coming and going through my front door. This is no royal reincarnation. It is Des the carpet fitter, putting the finishing touches to our front room.
We have reorganised our house and tonight we are having an oak apple supper in our newly-created banqueting hall (Dave Pie and Mash, I jest). Our guests, Mr and Mrs Sheepwash, the aforementioned neighbours and Mr St John and Lady Friend will help us celebrate. They have been asked to wear a sprig of oak.
It is just as well Celebrity Farmer hasn't been invited. I could see him turning up with an oak leaf and nothing else.
That's about it
Love Maddie x

I must remember this day for next year. As it is I am performing in some function at our local amateur theatre which I am not looking forward to at all. It will be rubbish.ReplyDelete
A King dossed on your sofa for the night and you try and pretend you jest about the banquet hall? Hey, posh is posh. Be loud and proud about it. Your posh in my book.ReplyDelete
I hope pasty isn't on the menu tonight.
But why is it your carpet fitter is called Des? Why not Walter Wall?(Get it? Wall to wall... like a carpet.. oh forget it. Tough audience).
That's a holiday I've never heard of...and imagine - you live in a house that a king visited.ReplyDelete
I hope your dinner party was a roaring successs and I hope to read all about it.
Rose- I do hope your performance went well. Bet it wasn't rubbish at all, and I look forward to hearing about it.ReplyDelete
Dave, the Grigg hovel is a cut above the oak tree Charlie slept in. But only just.
Pondside - we are all speaking after the dinner party so it went pretty well.

More reviews by LuxuriesLove88
Oh my, i cant say enough about this product. It's the best night moisturizer. The quality is amazing, not too greasy and absorbs very quickly. What's interesting, it's not oil free product but for my very oily skin, it's perfect because it's not making me oily at night as i used to be without it, and break outs dont occur at all, i cant wait to wash my face at night and apply the Rescue. After application, the skin is super smooth, soft,velvety and has a healthy glow, but not greasy at all which would be fatal for my oily skin. In the morning my skin looks much better, not as I just woke up, much refreshed and toned. I cannot be more happy about a night moisturizer and every time I apply it, i dont regret on spending almost $50 with tax. The smell is though a little annoying, but fades away in seconds. What I also like that it comes in two choices, dry to very dry, and combination oily to oily which is really conveniet for both parties.
Love this product, would like to try SuperDefense SPF25 Moisturizer from the same de-aging Clinique line, planning on using Rescue for quite some time, unless will find something better.
I've been using the product for skin types 3 and for for about two to three months now and it has really calmed my skin and made it look noticably better than before using this,. No other moisturizer I've ever used before has had such a positive effect.
This has been my night cream of choice for about a year now, and Im on my 3rd tube. Clinique isnt a skincare brand Id put a lot of faith in, normally especially after purchasing the daytime counterpart to this (Superdefense SPF25), only to learn that the sunscreen in that cream is not stable and the antioxidants are worthless.
Anyway, Im glad I gave Clinique another chance. Im 22 with very dry, somewhat sensitive skin and I live in a cold climate. What Im looking for in a night cream...Lots of moisture, and general skin repair to keep me looking fresh. I'm not worried about wrinkles, yet, but I would like to stave them off for as long as possible. I purchased the Very Dry to Dry version of this cream, and I have to say, its not as moisturising as I expected it to be. Thats why Ive taken 1 lippie off it has the consistency of a cream for normal skin. I layer it over Dermalogica's Skin Hydrating Booster, and with that support its just rich enough. Just. I wish it were a little creamier. Another minor gripe...Its quite stiff in consistency and not very spreadable, so I have to warm it up between my fingers and then press it into my skin one section at a time. Now that Im used to this application technique, its fine, just different from my previous slap-it-on approach.
In the morning I wake up with a glow, but I have had night creams that left me...glowier. (Bobbi Browns was my previous favourite, but it seems to have been discontinued. I also liked the Lancome Hydra Zen one, but I had 17-year-old skin then and it wouldn't be fair to compare!) It definitely keeps my skin even toned; Ive worn very little skin makeup in the last year, but Id credit that to my whole skincare regimen, rather than to one miracle product. I do think the Clinique cream improves the condition and resilience of my skin over time; its reliable and contains good ingredients, so although it doesnt completely bowl me over, I give it a solid 4 lippies.
I love that this comes in a hygienic tube, which also keeps the antioxidants good. I like that it doesn't make any ludicrous time-reversal claims. Its not too expensive, compared to some department store night creams with fancier packaging and a famous face to promote them. Its not cheap either, though (£34 in the UK). Ill continue to repurchase unIess I find something even better.

I never be a fan of Clinique. Tried some of their stuff a couple of times, but none really makes me wow or repurchase. My fav one is this and mascara base. I almost finish the tube now. Bought it last Nov 09, but I didn't use it religiously everyday, only when I feel dry or like it. I have oily/acne skin since I was 16. I'm 29 now and break out everyday due to hormonal adult acne. My new dermatologist prescribed me tretinoin cream recently and it makes me peel little bit and I live in dry So Cal weather. So, I started using this again every night before tretinoin. I do see immediate result in the morning. It heals my acne faster, honestly. That's why I use it without fail every night. I got it in dry/combo skin, because that's the only one they sell at my Sephora store. I was skeptical in the beginning, because I have oily skin. I love the texture, easy to smooth on and it's enough hydration for me. Although, my skin looks a bit oily or over moisturized after I put it on. It brightens the complexion and help reduce the red acne marks. I'm asian, ethnic skin, probably if you are lighter than mine, you will see more improvement on discoloration. It's a really good night cream and since I'm a smoker, I really need this. I will repurchase.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this product for about four weeks. I apply it at every night. The greaseless moisturizer is easily absorbed into my skin and leaves it feeling very soft and smooth. Often, I have problems with my skin when using a new skin product, this is due to my sensitive skin, but I have not had a problem with this product. I do notice that lines are less visible. This is a great product.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am on my second tube of this. It is different to the night moisturizers I have used before in that it is much less heavy but I am finding it more effective nonetheless. It seems to sink into the skin much better than the richer creams. My skin isn't dramatically different but it does seem softer and more hydrated and I don't get those pesky dry patches.
Love this night cream. My skin can be quite dry, especially in the morning if I haven't applied moisturiser the night before. This works really well for my skin, really hydrating it and making it soft. It also soaks in great so can apply it just a few minutes before I go to bed and am not afraid of it coming off onto my pillow case :) I've bought this moisturiser about 4/5 times (even though it's a bit pricey - around 50 a pop!) but I feel it's definitely worth it and I especially notice how good it is if I'm super lazy and go to bed without applying any night cream, the next morning my skin feels parched! I will definitely repurchase in the future, but at the moment I have switched to EL night serum to try something new! :)
My skin is similar to another reviewer, combo/oily in summer and combo/dry in winter, and as I get older, my skin is becoming more sensitive and inflamed. This product is great. I used it on my cheeks and another product on my T-zone. It is not to greasy and is not fragrant. I am on my second tube now.
I have this in 'dry/combination' for winter and oily/combination in summer. It sinks in nicely and leaves my skin well moisturised with no shine. I have used this for 18 months now and have no plans to stray. Will definitely repurchase.
Finally after a year of trying Clinique products (skincare junkie) I have found one that actually lives up to the hype. Being acne-prone I chose the combo to oily fourmula. The texture is very light and abosrbs easily into the skin. I even used this during the day and it has never felt heavy or looked greasy.It's the only moisturise I can use without any negative effects on my skin.This calms breakouts, helps fade scars and leaves the skin glowing. Def will repurchase.
UPDATE: 07/10/10 IT'S OFFICIAL I HATE CLINIQUE PRODUCTS! Like all the other clinique products I purchased they work fine for the first few weeks then they start irritating the crap outta my skin and causing me to break out in horrible deep pimples which takes AGGGESS to clear. I have tried their '3 steps to crap skin' range, City Block Sheer (irritating, caused me breakouts), blusher (accentuated any bump under the skin), Superfit foundation (irritating, funky colour range). The only products which were decent was their exfoliating scrub and eye cream. But I hate Clinique so much I will neevr repurchase those products again!!!! I'm so pissed I spent so much money on them, BYE BYE CLINIQUE!!!

An Apology for the Doukhobors - Former Residents Documentary
During the 1950s, Doukhobors in the Kootenay region of British Columbia rejected the provincial education system and refused to register births, marriages and deaths. They would march naked, home-school their children and set fire to buildings ...all to protest materialism, private ownership and the militarism they felt was prevalent in public education.
The province responded by forcibly removing children from their families and sending them to a dormitory in New Denver, B.C., the town where they would attend a provincially-run school. It took decades, but eventually those children would speak out publicly about abuse they say they suffered at the New Denver Dormitory.
Today, about 100 of those former residents are waiting for a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruling ...expected at any time that could compel the provincial government to apologize to them. Freelance journalist Kalyeena Makortoff spoke with three former residents of the New Denver Dormitory ... Elsie Erickson, Helen Chernoff-Freeman and Joe Sherstobitoff in her documentary.

Creative Writing Prompt: Summer Vacations – Then and Now
It has been historically close to impossible for me to take a staycation without feeling like I *have* to do work but this past holiday weekend I think I did a pretty decent job of tuning out the world and just enjoying myself. I spent time puttering around the garden, reading, cooking delicious food, watching fireworks and contemplating life.
As I took several long walks around the surrounding neighborhoods, I noticed that things seemed very quiet and my assumption was that a lot of people were either on vacation or visiting with family and friends for the holiday.
This started me thinking about the types of vacations that people take. We didn't travel much when I young girl, but I can distinctly remember two trips to the Jersey Shore- (Long before Snooki…) then in my mid to late teens, all I wanted to do was to go to Wildwood or Seaside Heights. Nowadays, I'd rather be in the woods or by a nice lake in the middle of nowhere. Nature, quiet, solitude. Ahh…
Today's creative writing prompt centers around this:
Do you still frequent the same vacation destinations that you did when you were young?
Why or why not?
Happy Birthday America
Wishing you you all a joyful holiday weekend.
Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States of America commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain (now officially known as the United Kingdom). Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. – per Wiki
Books for the Summer: What are You Reading?
I'm not exactly sure what kind of book makes for a good "Summer Read" but in typical Steph Smith form, I just finished one book, Mr. Mercedes, (despite my love for Mr. King, don't waste your time with this one) and am currently reading at least half a dozen others including, "What are you looking at?" shown above, and "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou.
What books are either in your summer beach bag, or are loaded & ready to go on your e-reader? And how did you choose them? Do you go by the bestseller lists or online reviews? Recommendations from a friend?
To Honor the Fallen
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the men and women who died while serving in the country's armed forces. The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. (Per Wiki)
Merry Christmas!
Wishing everyone a peaceful and merry Christmas.
A Moment of Levity
In an attempt to help relieve some of the stress associated with the holidays, I'd like to present to you this video of an adorable dog rolling around on a pickle.
Favorite Holiday Cookies
In the early 1970s, my Mom's kiffle cookies were probably everyone's favorite. A delicate filled cookie of Eastern European origin, they would disappear in mere seconds from the moment they were cool and dusted with powdered sugar. Apricot, prune (lekvar) and walnut were the traditional fillings Mom used in her kiffles and my favorite was always the walnut which had a taste similar to the nut rolls and nut tossies that she would also sometimes bake.
This blog post talks about kiffles but shows a construction method different from Mom's. Mom would roll out a sheet of dough which she would then cut into squares. The filling was placed on the middle of the square and then two opposite corners were folded in leaving the filling exposed at two ends of the cookie. (Like this)�
What are your favorite holiday cookies?
Christmas and Holiday Card Traditions
In 1953, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first official White House card. Over the years, these cards would typicaly depict White House scenes as rendered by prominent American artists. The number of recipients has snowballed over the decades, from just 2,000 in 1961 to 1.4 million in 2005. (Per Wiki) The image above depicts American president Lyndon B. Johnson's 1967 White House Christmas card.
It's been a good number of years since I've sent out holiday cards and do you know what? I miss it. I don't hardly receive them anymore either – and I'm not sure if that's because of people not sending them, or people just not sending them to me.
Do you still mail out holiday cards? If so, what kind do you send? Traditional store bought cards, photo cards – or maybe handmade cards? If you don't send them anymore, why not? Limited time? Cost of postage?
Giving the gift of Rhodia for the Holidays
Planning to give or receive the gift of Rhodia for the holidays this year? Smaller sized Rhodia products like the classic No.'s 8, 10, 11 (in graph or lined) & 12 (also available in the dot format) make great stocking stuffers, as do the Webnotepads, Rhodiarama Webbies, No. 12 "R" pads, side stapled pocket sized (A7) notebooks, the pocket sized Weekly Planners and last but not least, the Rhodia Unlimited pocket notebook.
Which are you hoping will be in your stocking?
What are your plans for shopping on Black Friday?
The day following Thanksgiving is often considered to be one of the busiest shopping days of the year- will you be making any purchases on this day? Is your inbox as flooded as mine is with special holiday sales and discounts for both online retailers and brick and mortar stores? I'm unlikely to venture far from my local shopping district at least for today, though I'm sure to poke around to see what deals I might find online.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing you and yours a day filled with love and gratitude.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Belated International Fountain Pen Day!
I can't believe I missed it! The first Friday in November is International Fountain Pen Day and I am noting my 2014 calendar as we speak. So what did you do to celebrate? Did you buy a new pen? New inks? Flush out your favorite pen and refill it with a daring new color? Please share!

Orange and Black
Orange and black – how appropriate for Halloween! Do you know how these colors came to be associated with this ghoulish holiday? Me neither! Maybe it's from orange pumpkins and black cats, fall leaves and the color of a witches hat…
Here are a few opinions on the topic:
What is the origin of Halloween colors?
Halloween Colors: Where Did They Come From?
The Origin of Pumpkin Carving and Halloween Colors
PS: What was your most favorite Halloween costume you ever wore? I always struggled with masks because of wearing glasses but a number of years ago I found a mask made of a see-through fabric and I was thrilled to finally be in full disguise!

Happy Labor Day America!
Did you know that the iconic "Rosie the Riveter" image shown above, created in 1942 by Pittsburgh artist J. Howard Miller was not the most popular image of "Rosie" during World War II? The most popular Rosie image was created in 1943 by Norman Rockwell and was featured on the cover of the Memorial Day issue of The Saturday Evening Post: Continue Readering »

Sarah Michelle Gellar in the Buff
OK, I'm going to tell you right
up front what I'm writing about: Sarah Michelle
Gellar and
Vaseline. Go ahead. Let your mind go there. SMG and I will wait.
The real story is not even
close to the one in your sordid imagination. But it does involve seeing
a whole lot of skin — and very beautiful skin at that.
Yep, that's Sarah, the newest celebrity to take it all
off for Vaseline. You may remember that SMG has eschewed nudity in her
film roles, despite playing a few less-than-wholesome parts like Kathryn in Cruel Intentions. And I'm
still scratching my head about her
Maxim spread.
But Gellar's nudity is far from titillating in this ad campaign. Well,
not intentionally. Personally, though, I find nothing quite as alluring
as a soft, feminine neck.
The photos are part of Vaseline's
Skin Visions campaign. Gellar is the "Mystery Celebrity," but clues like "starred
opposite an Angel," "carries a Grudge" and "has
questionable Intentions" pretty much wipe out the mystery part.
The site promises to reveal more as the contest to guess who she is goes on. Here's
the latest photo — a tastefully manicured hand resting on the kind of
arm that makes tank tops so very appealing.
For a nice pan of Gellar's
Buffyness, visit the campaign's Welcome page. The video runs for a few seconds
right when you land, so if you miss it — or just want another look —
simply refresh the page.
Strictly for research purposes,
I checked to see what other celebrities have fleshed themselves out
for Vaseline. Amanda Bynes has incredibly lovely legs, among other things.
And I could not in good conscience
keep this image of Hilary Duff's neck to myself. (Hey, Hilary!)
Other participants in the campaign include Minnie
Driver, a very pregnant Kim Raver
and Laila Ali.
After that, I can't think of
anything else to say. Except that women are magnificent. Sigh.

Rick Astley is a freaking tease. All this week, 103.7 FM, a Clear Channel radio station in the St. Louis metro region, has been playing Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" nonstop in a stunt to drive interest in the launch of the station's new format. And honestly, it seemed to have worked. We saw S ... More >>
