I enabled SSL on one of the sites and also created a certificate from the UI. The .vhost files for the domain created also shows correct entries for the virtualhost to listen on 443.
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Starting httpd: [Wed Mar 25 16:23:15 2009] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:443 has no VirtualHosts
SSL vhosts in apache have always to be bount to a IP address, you will have to select the correct IP instead of * in the website settings.
That did the trick.
I also forgot to install mod_ssl as well.

- Military members to get expedited screening at Washington D.C., airport
- Boeing promises to speed up construction of new 787 Dreamliners
Overhead bins expand to fit more carry-on luggage
Crowded planes and bulkier carry-on bags are forcing airlines to expand their overhead bins, according to a report by the Associated Press.
United and Delta are the latest airlines to replace or upgrade bins to hold more luggage.
About 87% of passengers carry on bags on United Continental flights, the airline told the AP. And the bags are getting bigger.
READ MORE: Airline bag fees climb as high as $450
ALSO ONLINE: New rules require airlines to disclose fees in airfares
Travelers have been carrying on bigger and more bags to avoid baggage fees, which most airlines now charge. Flight attendants have complained of more injuries from having to deal with heavy bags.
The AP reports the following changes:
United will replace bin doors on all of its Airbus A320s starting in April. The new doors curve out more to let passengers slide bags into bins wheels-first instead of sideways. The planes will hold 106 roll-on bags, up from 64.
Delta Air Lines is adding new bins to 767 jets on international routes such as Atlanta to Paris. The bins hold 26 more bags than the ones they're replacing.
ALSO ONLINE: Loot confiscated by TSA turns into revenue for states
TWITTER: Follow Travel's Nancy Trejos
American Airlines' new 737s will hold 48 more bags than the planes they are replacing. The planes, however, have 24 more seats. The older 737s also are getting new bin doors that curve out more.
Boeing is designing bins in its new 787 to hold a standard 9 x 14 x 22-inch roll-aboard bag. Designers used to focus on maximizing cubic inches, which was not a good fit for carry-on luggage, Kent Craver, Boeing's cabin expert, told the AP.
Airlines also are getting tougher on travelers who have oversize carry-on bags, the AP reported. United, for instance, is conducting an experiment at a few airports. Agents have been instructed to look for bags that are too big or for passengers who are carrying on too much.

Be a bat spotter
Warmer weather is back and so are Delaware's bats.
That means DNREC needs your help spotting them. Bats typically take up residence in your barns, garages, attics, and homes. They feed at night on insects and other pests like mosquitoes.
A study in Science magazine says bats could be one of the most economically valuable groups of wildlife to our farmers--since they eat moths and beetles that cause millions in dollars in damages to crops.
To be a bat spotter, please contact Sarah Brownlee-Bouboulis, at 302-735-8674, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

For immediate release November 21, 2011
Contact: Jeff Morgan, email@example.com, (515) 281-3858
Mark Halperin and John Heilemann visit Historical Building
DES MOINES – As political campaigns build their momentum leading up to the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, the Department of Cultural Affairs will bring two well-known politicos to Des Moines for the Caucus Iowa Speakers Series.
Mark Halperin and John Heilemann will speak Friday, Dec. 9, 2011, at the State Historical Building, 600 E. Locust in Des Moines. Doors open at 7:30 a.m. and the event will be 8-9 a.m. Coffee and breakfast rolls will be provided. The event is sponsored by DCA, the Greater Des Moines Partnership and the Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau. The event is free and open to the public. Call 515-281-5111 for more information.
Halperin is editor-at-large and senior political analyst for TIME magazine, and senior political analyst for MSNBC. He previously worked as political director for ABC News and authored "The Undecided Voter's Guide to the Next President," and co-authored "The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008."
Heilemann is the National Affairs Editor for New York magazine and a political analyst for MSNBC. Previously, he has been a staff writer The New Yorker, Wired and The Economist, covering politics, business and their intersection for the past two decades.
Together, Halperin and Heilemann wrote "Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, Palin and McCain, and the Race of a Lifetime" (Harper, 2010) in what became a runaway New York Times #1 bestseller chronicling the 2008 presidential campaign. They both appear regularly on MSNBC shows like "Morning Joe" and "Hardball."
Don't Miss "Caucus Iowa" Exhibit
The State Historical Museum recently unveiled updated features in its "Caucus Iowa" exhibit. The exhibit outlines the Iowa caucuses' rise to national prominence in the 1970s, explores "retail politics" in a typical coffee shop and recreates a gymnasium and living room as they would appear on caucus night.
The exhibit includes interactive kiosks where visitors can answer caucus history questions and be part of a special straw poll of current candidates. It also examines the impact the media has had on transforming the caucuses into an international event.

I made tortiilas using this mix and followed the instructions on the label. They had an ackward taste maybe due no gluten in the mix. Im used to using maseca, but this mix is not to bad. I will make some gorditas in the next few days.

Makes very good tortillas

The whole family loves the tortillas made with this flour. I think the clue is to make the tortillas very thin. I use the receipt on the package. I have tried other corn flour to make tortillas, but they did not turn out as good as the ones made with this flour.

Tasty all-natural option for Masa Harina. I use it in muffins made with Bob's GF polenta I've soaked in lime and cooked. The smell is so corn-nutty. Thanks Bob's!

It's a small town vying for a big title. Waddington is in the running for the title of Ultimate Fishing Town USA. The national contest is winding down into its final hours and as our Rachael Paradis tells us, residents there are not losing steam as they push to crank out some last minute votes.
WADDINGTON, N.Y. -- It's a title worth fighting for: Ultimate Fishing Town USA.
Waddington is near the top and as the contest reaches its final hours before a winner is announced, residents are doing what they can to reel the title in.
Norwood resident Mike Zagrobelny said, "Vote often. Vote early. Vote a lot."
The contest, which is sponsored by the World Fishing Network, started with 300 towns nationwide. It is now down to 20.
Waddington and Roscoe, New York have been back and forth in the number one spot. Voting ends Tuesday and for people in the self proclaimed carp capital of the world, keeping the numbers up above the competition continues to be an all hours of the day operation. Waddington resident Steve Helmase said, "I get up at 5 o'clock in the morning and get my votes in."
Waddington Mayor Janet Otto-Cassada said, "My husband gets up at about 2 a.m. and stays up until about 3:15 voting for people. I vote from 6 p.m. to midnight. My neighbors vote. My friends vote."
Locals are not the only people voting for the town, people from Maryland, Florida and beyond are too.
For Waddington, just being in the contest is giving the community the exposure it's looking for and taking home the title will just add to that.
Otto-Cassada said, "Bring people up here to our area and our county to show them exactly what we have to offer."
Helmase said, "Get our name on the map and get more people to know about the area. Upstate New York seems to be a forgotten part of New York State."
And the town says whether it takes first or second, there will be a party.
Local leaders are reminding you to vote. Head to www.wfnfishingtown.com to cast yours.

Autopsy doesn't reveal cause of death of Mo. teen
Updated On: Dec 18 2012 07:28:04 AM CST
The cause of death for a southwest Missouri teenager whose body was found weighted down in a lake is still a mystery.
Benton County Coroner Jim Miller said Monday that the autopsy on 15-year-old Khighla Parks, of Willard, did not determine a cause of her death.
Her body was found Sept. 30 in Truman Lake.
Miller said the autopsy found no sign of trauma, disease or drug use. She had only an insignificant amount of alcohol in her blood.
The Springfield News-Leader reported Miller said asphyxiation remains a possible cause of death.
Park's death has been ruled a homicide. A Springfield man, 47-year-old Anthony Balbirnie, is charged with abandonment of a corpse. Park was last seen with Balbirnie at a home in Buffalo Sept. 21.

- Lara Dupont Oct 13th, 2013Hi Mark -
Really love your style -
I have bad knees and have been told to keep away from Dhanurasana - what do you say?
- Marc Holzman Oct 13th, 2013hi lara. the potential knee-danger in dhanurasana is that students have a tendency to do three things:
1. lift up with the knees far apart and feet close together
2. yanking their feet inward in a sickled position which puts enormous pressure on the knee.
3. they are not engaging the legs with enough muscle strength.
to maintain the health of your knees, dhanurasana can still be in your repetoire!
1. align the knees AND the feet about sit bone distance apart evenly. your knees and feet should be on the same trajectory.
2. flex your toes a lot (not pointing) so there is muscle engagement in the legs (especially drawing the outer edge of your feet back to the wall behind you
3. if available, take your grip closer to your ankles or on the ankles themselves so that there is no danger of torquing your feet inwards
4. go up for very slowly so that you can feel every moment and calibrate mindfully.
hope that helps :-) thanks for watching!

NATO operative Jacques Logan (Jean-Claude Van Damme) has to excuse himself from a family vacation in Europe when duty calls: he must get international criminal Galina Konstantin (Laura Harring) across the heavily guarded Slovakian border to Munich. Once he gets Galina on the train, his troubles are just beginning. First his wife and kids "surprise" him by joining him on the trip, and then terrorists take over the train, led by coolly vicious Mason Cole (Tomas Arana). Jacques soon learns he's not there to guard Galina, but what she's smuggling: a highly virulent strain of smallpox. Jacques pursues a deadly cat-and-mouse battle on the train with Cole and cohorts: with the fate of his family, the passengers on the train, and the world itself hanging in the balance.

The Isle of Man TT is one of the world's last great races held public roads that hasn't been sanitized in any way. Motorcycles barrel through quaint villages at max speed in a way that is hardly believable in today's much safer world of racing. And this isn't just through a few miles downtown – a single lap takes the fastest classes over 17 minutes.
This video might be one of the greatest showcases off what the Isle of Man TT is about ever made. It shows rider Michael Dunlop on a Honda CBR600RR on lap three of the second race of the Supersport class in 2013. As it starts, Dunlop is in second place leaving from his pit stop and heading out on track aiming for a win. The camera strapped to the bike picks up every minor correction and the wonderful noise from the Honda engine. It seems like the throttle is wide open for over half the lap. To go right bike-against-bike action, Dunlop starts to catch up to other riders about eight minutes into the video and has quite a challenge for several minutes. Scroll down, turn up your speakers and enjoy.

"Supa": A Report from Kenya
| June 22, 2009
The author, a medical doctor and writer, learned in an African village the truth behind the alarming worldwide maternal health statistics—when she was asked to treat a patient whose only resource was her mother, frantically urging her to "push."
Like most American-trained physicians, I'm used to looking at mind-numbing statistics on a daily basis. My recent trip to Kenya helped me to reconnect with the human side of medicine.
Example. AIDS is the leading cause of death in young black men and women. In Albany, Georgia, where I work, this thought crosses my mind as I treat a previously healthy young black man with uncontrolled seizures and a strange new growth in his brain. Or, I've become all too familiar with the number one reason for accidental teenage death in the United States: alcohol. This thought comes home loud and clear when I treat an alcoholic offender for scrapes and bruises, but place the innocent driver of the other car on a ventilator; I take the long walk (in reality, a very short walk) to the family room and break bad news to the anxious relatives.
Indeed, I spend much of my time answering the most angst-filled questions with a detached statistic. One scenario goes a lot like this: "Doctor, what are the chances that I will go on to have a normal pregnancy since I've been spotting early on in my pregnancy."
"Fifty percent. Half of these pregnancies go on to be normal, the other half end up in a miscarriage. And twenty percent of pregnant women experience this during the first trimester," I respond.
Or I'm asked to predict the chances of a really bad result when the patient actually already knows the answer: "Doctor, I have no money for my hypertension medicine, what are the chances that I could have a stroke or heart attack, if my blood pressure stays up?"
"High" is usually my terse response, perhaps a bit irritated since this same person who can't afford his blood pressure medicine also smokes two packs a day, not a cheap habit.
Of course in Africa, the stats are even more frightening. Worldwide, Africa accounts for 90 percent of cholera cases, a diarrheal illness we simply don't see in this country. Malaria, a completely preventable and treatable disease, claims a million people a year. Childbirth claims 500,000 women a year. (Oh, and psst: this is considered a gross underestimation.). At least one woman a minute in the developing world dies in childbirth.
Even as a woman from a developing country, the Democratic Republic of Congo—for a myriad of reasons including rape, childbirth, and HIV, Marie Claire magazine declares mine to be one of the worst countries in which to be born a woman—I still looked at these numbers dubiously. These are thoughts that I look back on with a bit of shame at my naiveté.
In Kenya, I had the chance to hold small free clinics in two impoverished villages, Kisumu and Atemo, both at least five hours away from the capital, Nairobi. Our team of 12 dedicated medical personnel provided free treatment and medications to more than 1100 people. Patients walked for miles, many times without shoes, in harsh rains and thick mud, to be treated for anything ranging from simple neck pain—no doubt from the carrying heavy loads on their heads and shoulders—to malaria, to the rarely seen Kwashiorkor, a disease that stems from a lack of protein. Little things like having anti-malarial medications and pain-relievers, and a lollipop every now and then for the children, improved quality of life for many, but we needed so much more. I was prepared for work overload, but I wasn't prepared for the shock of how little is needed to save so many lives—until the day I was involved in the delivery of a child.
A nurse asked me to evaluate a young woman who had come to see her in the morning because she was in labor and had been unable to deliver. To my horror, what I found was a barely responsive nine- month pregnant woman on a bed with no sheets, in a bare room with no basic supplies. Much of my team, which had been encouraging the woman to push, stopped once they saw the look of consternation on my face.
The young woman, Filis, was being angrily ordered by her mother to "supa," which means to push in Kisii, her native language. I asked Filis' mother how long she had been in labor. Since 7 pm the night before she informed me. It was now noon.
Come again?
Yes, this woman had been in labor for 18 hours. In medical jargon, she was in 'obstructed labor' or 'failure to progress.' Most places in the United States consider a labor that has gone longer than six hours without progression a clear indication to perform a c-section.
Why had she not been taken to the private hospital instead of our little clinic? Through my interpreter, I found out that in order to be seen by a private doctor in the hospital, they would have to pay 10,000 schilling or about $80. When most Kenyans earn less than a dollar a day, $80 was simply out of the question.
Filis' mother was caught in sort of the classic African Sisyphean predicament I kept observing during my time in both villages. Yes, she loved her daughter dearly. But with the little money she did have, does she use it to help her daughter deliver safely or use it to feed the rest of the family? As I looked incredulously at Filis' mother, she continued to command her daughter to "supa." It was as if the harsh tone of the command could supersede the need for medical intervention.
"Surgical tray, forceps, scalpel!" I ordered, realizing the need for an emergency c-section. My requests generated no action except a confused look from the local nurse. How about some IV fluids? Another pregnant pause, er, so to speak.
I performed my exam and could see a head of hair in the vagina. I took the rudimentary tocometer, a long piece of plastic with two hollow ends, that the local nurse used to measure the fetal heart beat, and could hear a very slow heart beat—a sign of fetal distress. I knew that time was of the essence for the survival of both Filis and her child. I administered some Tylenol and antibiotics.
There was no ambulance. The only vehicle was the truck that our group rented. We'd have to travel 30 miles through some of the roughest terrain imaginable. The head of the clinic and local pastor knew the surgeon and called ahead to tell him we were bringing Filis.
By the time we arrived, the hospital staff awaited us at the gates.
While they prepared the operating room for Filis, in an area the size of a small closet, other staffers demanded 16,000 schilling for the entire stay. Filis' mother protested, saying she had no money and that her daughter should not be admitted since she could not afford it. We paid what we had on us that day and assured her and the staff that we would deliver the balance the next day.
"Asante, asante sana," Filis' mother kept crying, meaning "thank you, thank you very much" in Kiswahili, a language widely spoken in East Africa. She pressed my hand to her heart for what felt like an eternity.
The surgeon performed the operation and we left. On our way back to Atemo, the pastor broke the loud silence.
"I'm glad you're here, we could have had two deaths today," he told me.
It was then that it dawned on me how maternal deaths worldwide could be as high as I'd heard it was. I had nearly witnessed one, because an African woman did not have $80 to take her pregnant daughter to a hospital.
The World Health Organization (WHO) calls it the "invisible epidemic," since women who die in childbirth are not counted as a death because, well, in certain traditions women don't count. WHO suspects that as many as half of the global maternal deaths go unreported. In poor countries, the risk of dying in childbirth is over 100 times higher than richer countries.
The main causes of maternal death are well known and disturbingly easy to prevent and rectify: obstructed labor, infection, uncontrolled hypertension, to name a few.
What isn't so well known or easy to quantify is that these women leave a million children motherless and the children in turn are 10 times more likely to die in childhood. In rural societies, the impact of this loss of able-bodied individuals is unimaginable.
The next day, I wasn't thinking about statistics. I went see Filis and held her beautiful boy. With Filis and grandmother looking on, I took mental notes: The baby had all 10 fingers and toes, he had all the newborn reflexes, moved the way any American newborn moved.
"What is your son's name?" I asked Filis.
"Mana" she said with a triumphant smile. The sound of my name never sounded so sweet. I explained to her that Mana (or manna) means food from heaven from the Old Testament and she responded with a knowing smile.
Fighting back tears, I shared in her joy. It was one of the few times an overworked doctor can savor the joy of contributing to saving a life, and in this case helping a new life start.
I decided to be a little selfish and not tell Filis that Mana is actually a girl's name.

While on my way to my uncle's house for Christmas dinner the CEL illuminated again. It didn't take long to realize a) what caused it, and b) that I would be spending a considerable sum of money in the very near future. Of course, the car didn't skip a beat and I completed the trip without incident.
The following day was a company holiday so I used the spare time to order the parts necessary for the repair. First on the agenda was a visit the dealer's parts department to order a new mid-section. At a discounted price of $1850 including tax the part wasn't exactly a bargain but the dealer made the purchase relatively painless by giving me Tischer's price -- a full 20% off the list. After briefly watching my technician trying to repair one of those stupidly complex panoramic sunroofs from an X5 I hopped in the car to do a few errands before arriving home to do a little parts surfing.
What parts, you ask? Whenever the exhaust is dismantled BMW recommends all new assembly hardware including special self-locking copper alloy nuts used to attach the midsection to the headers, header flange gaskets, and sealing rings that help bridge the gap between the mid-section and muffler section. In addition, common practice is to install new O2 sensors with new cats, but since I already replaced the pre-cat sensors a couple years ago I only had to grab two sensors to replace the post cat units.
While looking at my maintenance schedule worksheet I realized that the exhaust mounts were about 10K miles short of their 90K replacement interval. Since I was not interested in dragging two grand worth of exhaust on the ground I ordered two new rubber mounting rings as well as two new exhaust hangers and related hardware.
And just before I clicked the "Checkout" button I remembered that several months ago while I was under the car I noticed the black plastic raceway used to protect the post-cat O2 sensor wires had started to sag. I figured this was due to a failure of the raceway's integral mounting clips and decided that the $10 replacement cost for the raceway and cover was well within reason.
When it came to the installation I broke with tradition and decided to have my technician do the work, primarily to get the full two year parts and labor warranty. Sure, I could have screwed around in my bitterly-cold garage for the better part of an afternoon but for the two hours the dealer quoted to do this job it just wasn't worth it to me. So I arrived at the dealer this morning and checked in with my technician to let him know about the big bag o' parts in the car before jetting off in the loaner to get to work on time. I picked the car up in the evening and after a 15 minute drive home I got out and walked around the car with the engine idling. The first thing I noticed was that the occasional, very faint rattling noise coming from the cat heat shield was no more. The second thing I noticed quite by accident as I examined the muffler is that the exhaust actually smelled like, well, nothing. It was very dry and sooty, but did not smell like the exhaust output of the vehicle prior to the repair. Apparently these cats actually do something. :-)
Now for the fun part -- the cost analysis. Total of incidentals from Tischer was $456 including shipping and their discounts resulted in a $150 savings over list price. The cat normally retails for $2100, so including shipping I managed to save approximately $250 on that part by walking up to the parts desk and ordering it ahead of time. Had I simply walked in off the street and asked the service advisor to replace the cats I would have paid full list for that part. Installation labor was two hours at $120/hr plus SST, or $256. This brings the total for this repair to $2562.

Tire Repair
I was deep into an offramp during the commute home earlier this week and I felt the rear suddenly come loose. Judicious steering and brake inputs settled the car in short order but at the time it felt very strange...not anything like a typical oversteer condition I've experienced on the road or the track. The rear felt particularly unsettled throughout the recovery.
I initially suspected I hit an icy patch but the roads were dry and clear, if not a bit salty. On the next straight patch of road I performed a couple of quick lane-change maneuvers to see if I could duplicate the conditions but was unsuccessful. I drove the remainder of the way home thinking perhaps one of the (original) trailing arm bushings decided to give out at the ripe old age of 172K miles and that caused the arm to flop around a bit under load, affecting the rear alignment in the process. When I got home I walked around the car a bit but found nothing out of the ordinary aside from what I perceived to be a slightly greater bulge in the sidewall of the left rear tire. Given the effects of cold temperatures on tire pressures I didn't think much of it at the time.
This morning I decided to brave the 37 degree air and wash the car to rid it of the 60 pounds of salt it had collected over the past week. As I got around to cleaning the left rear rim I noticed that the bulge in the tire sidewall had grown. I knew full well what this meant and it didn't take me long to find the nail, which had been squarely driven into the tread of the tire about 2" from the sidewall. While some might interpret this as bad news I was actually relieved that the damage occurred where it did because it meant the tire could be salvaged with a plug patch and remain in service until the end of the season -- at which point I had plans to decommission the entire set anyway.
Of course, having discovered this on a Saturday at around Noon meant scrambling to find an open tire shop. To make a long story short, the third shop I tried agreed to patch the tire just before they closed for the day so I quickly got the car into the garage, put the rear up on jack stands, pulled the tire, and brought it over to the tire shop. Since I brought the tire to them "loose" and they didn't have to jack up the car or put it up on their lift they only charged me $15 for the fix. About an hour later I had managed to get the tire back on the car, all the tires brought up to my winter tire pressure of 33 pounds, and a short test drive completed successfully.
So what did I learn today?
Track junkies know full well that one way to increase an otherwise neutral car's tendency to oversteer is to decrease the tire pressure in the rear relative to the front, by a few PSI. My episode on the off ramp proves that this works. Incidentally, the effect of greater pressure in the rear is predictable -- less oversteer (or more understeer) -- and this is one of the main reasons why BMW now insists (to a fault, in my opinion) that tire pressure be as much as six PSI higher in the rear.

Faded badly
Got the turquoise one last summer. Looked great when new,and not scratchy as others have said. I'm on the bicycle a lot and this faded terribly in a very short time. There's almost no color left to it. I'd say this would be excellent only if you could avoid the sunlight while wearing it.
West Springfield MA
I love the look
I love my mine, have two, may purchase another. Hoping it does get a little softer. But if not, that's cool.
Edmond Oklahoma
Great looking bracelet
I purchased this and was very pleased with the color and quality. My daughter got one look at it and it was gone! LOL! I would order again. The small button adds very cool dimension to the bracelet.
University Heights, Ohio
I have had mine for over 6 months. Last week the nickle broke off the string' I really like this bracelet' I hope i can fix
Nice Bracelet
Just rec'd my bracelet last week and have worn it every day. I read every review prior to pulling the trigger on this purchase. My concern was the scratchiness of the bracelet but I've found that it does not bother me. I've rec'd many compliments on it already and plan to wear it until it falls apart which I hope isn't anytime soon. All in all a nice light weighted bracelet.
Myersville, MD
Great Present To Myself
I purchased this bracelet for myself because of my lifetime love of Indian Head Nickels with my hometown Buffalo mascot on it. I was very pleasantly surprised. The braiding is beautiful and the bracelet is well made. It is, as others have noted, a bit scratchy, but it is softening up after I have been rubbing some hair conditioner on it. I would love to see a bracelet made with the Buffalo side showing. I am wearing the bracelet as I wriite this review. I chose the red and taupe bracelet and am thinking of buying the blue and black one.
Columbia, VA
Very original and very nice
Love this bracelet! Got 2 of the 3 colors. It is a little scratchy at first, as many have mentioned, but goes away in a few days. Goes well with all my TTA shirts.
Whittier, CA
Very cool !!!!
I love this bracelet. It goes along with about anything I wear and I've had so many compliments on it. I'm going to buy another in a different color.
Completly Falls apart
I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my spouse. In just 6 weeks time the horsehair completly comes undone. I was going to replace it with another bracelet that the territory ahead sells. It has a leather band and horsehair on the top but the review on that bracelet said the hair was coming off as well, that the hair needed to be snipped with scissors. This bracelet is pure junk. In time it will fall apart.
Cambridge Ma
What I expected
Nice quality built bracelet. Bought it on sale and glad I got it.
rugged braclet
I purchased this for myself. It is a bit on the itchy side, I think due to the nature of the horse hair, but I think as it wears it will soften. It goes well with my typical style of jewerly which is turqoise ,silver, and western. For me it was just right.
southern new hampshire
Horsehair Bracelet
Stylish, I have two, I have gotten several compliments and they wear very well. I even wear mine in the shower.
Santa Fe, New Mexico
great gift
This was a gift for my husband. He loves it! A bit scratchy (didn't bother him) until it was broken in. He wears it everyday, great look and we are considering ordering one in a different color.

Can this fixture be modified to not be pressure controlled?
ATG Stores Answer
Unfortunately, this fixture only comes with the pressure balancing option. Kingston Brass does have two-handle fixtures that do not have pressure balancing, but this product cannot be modified to remove that feature.

No Strategy for Twitter Favorites? 5 Ideas
It may not seem natural because of Facebook's "like" button, but Twitter "favorites" can be for storytelling.
The page on which they are chronicled, after all, is a timeline of sorts, tracking whatever tweets you decide to attach a star. It's essentially curation, even if often unused. It's another platform to reach folks — particularly the most curious — and convey information, hopefully all while keeping an experience fluid.
I don't know anyone who regularly checks a Twitter user's favorites, of course. But favorites are there, and you have to expect it happens. At bare minimum, it's fun to go poking around on your follower's favorites and see how they're using them.
So that's what I did: poked around, but on the favorites pages of some journalism organizations I follow. The result? Usually some laughs (which isn't necessarily bad).
Below are some examples of what I saw, some of which are kind of funny. The conclusion? Many a time, at least to the average user who stumbles upon them, a journalism organization's usage of the "favorite" is rare and/or obscure.
The New York Times (@nytimes)
Kudos for favorite-ing that last one?

With deep, flat shadows, the intensity of the light side of the objects and people in Danny's paintings grow. It is the beauty, the good, the inspiring, and the sublime in life that is his main driving force as an artist. A painting style that depicts the objects of the world clearly with form, light, and shadow is the most effective way to achieve this end.
