Custom Loop/Query Based on Custom Fields
This snippet enables you to make a custom loop that is purely based on custom-fields. Not dependent on any category or tag. This is not (yet) possible with query_posts() or WP_Query(), so we here utilize a direct $wbdb-call:
$querydetails = "
SELECT wposts.*
FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta
WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id
AND wpostmeta.meta_key = 'readmoretext'
AND wpostmeta.meta_value = 'Go check this out'
AND wposts.post_status = 'publish'
AND wposts.post_type = 'post'
ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC
$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querydetails, OBJECT)
First we select any WordPress Posts that contain "meta data" (custom fields). We then add a few conditions. For example, the key should be "readmoretext", another condition is that the value of the custom field needs to be "Go check this out". Also, it needs to be published post, it needs to be an actual Post (not a Page), and in lastly in descending order.
You can remove, add or duplicate/change any of these AND conditions to get exactly the thing you need. (for example, all Posts that have a custom field called "mood", then get rid of the *. meta_value-line and then you'll get all the posts that have a "mood" set regardless of it's value.
After you've run the query, you can run a loop to output the results:
<?php if ($pageposts):
foreach ($pageposts as $post):
setup_postdata($post); ?>
// Make your loop here. For example :
<div <?php post_class(); ?>> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach;
endif; ?>

(Updates with closing share prices in second paragraph.)
June 8 (Bloomberg) -- Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., the world's biggest shipyard, fell the most in two weeks after saying it may consider bidding for a $2.4 billion stake in Hynix Semiconductor Inc. being sold by former creditors.
"In principle, we are looking at this sale with interest," the Ulsan, South Korea-based company said in an e- mailed response to queries today, without elaboration. Its shares dropped 5.6 percent to 466,000 won at the 3 p.m. close of trading in Seoul, the biggest decline since May 23. Hynix rose 1.1 percent.
A group of financial institutions led by Korea Exchange Bank has said it plans to sell a 15 percent stake in Hynix that it gained following a government-led bailout of chipmakers during the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis. Buying the stake may cause Hyundai Heavy to invest in new technology while doing little to boost its main operations, said Lee Jae Won, an analyst at Tong Yang Securities Inc.
"It's very hard to see why it would be interested," said Seoul-based Lee. "It's really unclear what the synergies would be." The shipmaker may eventually decide against making a bid, he said.
Ichon, South Korea-based Hynix, the world's second-largest computer-memory maker, has a market value of 17.1 trillion won ($15.8 billion), according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
One of Hynix's forerunners and Hyundai Heavy were both part of the old Hyundai Group, which split up about 10 years ago.
Stake Sale
The nine financial institutions are still discussing ways to sell their stake and may announce the sale schedule by the end of this month, said Kim Sun Gyu, a spokesman for Korea Exchange. He declined to elaborate. Lee Si Hyun, a Seoul-based spokeswoman for Hynix, declined to comment.
The Korea Exchange-led group has spent $4.6 billion turning Hynix around since becoming shareholders by converting debt into equity. They have agreed to keep their holdings until at last the end of this year, Korea Finance Chief Executive Officer Ryu Jae Han said in October.
The government stepped in to help the nation's chipmakers after losses caused by slowing sales, overcapacity and the Asian financial crisis.

Ann Romney says watching documentary on hubby's failed presidential bids was tough
Ann Romney, wife of American businessman and politician Mitt Romney, has revealed that watching the new documentary about her husband's failed presidential bids was tough.
She explained that this is especially because she still believes the country suffered for not electing him, Fox News reported.
Talking of the election night scene in "Mitt", Ann told the publication that it's tough to watch again, as it brings up all those feelings that you had.
While agreeing that they lost, she said that actually it was the country which lost not having Mitt as president.
Romney, who published a cookbook with family recipes, said she has moved on from the 2012 election.

Any Valentine's plans?

I have a card for both dh and dd and a small gift for my dd. Dh is going to take me out to eat. Family type restaurant that serves prime rib or rib eye steak for a very good price on special days.
From cards, to extreme 'dates' to nothing, what if anything do you do?

Do your kids, especially the youngest have Valentine's parties at school? Happy Valentine's Karen!!

I am sorry I don't remember but, are your kids little or older? My mom gave me a Valentine until she died... I will probably give my dd one until I can no longer get out to buy a card. :smileywink:

My ds lives with me, my dd lives on her own.
In their early twenties.
Just so glad my dd was able to be out of the hospital before Christmas.
We are really glad she was able to go home after months in the hospital.
Both of them mean the World to me.

Many deep-sea animals such as anglerfish use parts of their body as lures to attract prey. Researchers have now described a deep-sea squid whose tentacle tips flap and flutter as if swimming on their own. The researchers hypothesize that the motion of these tentacle tips may induce small shrimp and other animals to approach within reach of the squid's arms.

nate should be with jenny not vanessa
I think that Nate and Jenny should get together i thought they looked cute together. I can't stand him with vanessa shes soo annoying and unimportant. In the books she's suppose to get with Dan which i don't even want her to do now. Jenny and Nate were suppose to hook up and it was suppose to be short but like Jenny is so unimportant in the show that they need to give her plot and soon!
Yes, Nate and Jenny, they should really be together, and I have heard some rumours that they're going to get back together - some day - when they become older, so it won't be so weird.
N and J gross me out. Can't believe it even developed (albeit short)...but soooooooooo glad it quickly fizzled. I don't care too much for J but I hope they get a good guy for her eventually (the last one was not worthy)...but not Nate.
yay my favourite episode! i LOVE n and j !
i thought it left off on 4 or 5. doesnt matter to me because i love nj :D
Am I going crazy or was the episode "Chuck in real life" skipped over? That was the 7th episode, not this one?
I hate this episode because of the Jenny+Nate smooch at the end. Yuck, it's even worse than him and Vanessa.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1
Hi and welcome.
You need to activate Windows by going into the start menu, Control Panel then System (in classic mode - available in the left Panel).
Then, in that window, at the bottom, there should be a link to activate Windows. If your licence is legit, it will go through with no problem. Once it's done, just put the update disc in your drive and reboot on it and do an upgrade!
Hope it helps.

Activate vista, type your product key in, if its a laptop it would be on the bottom, if its a pc on the back or side, if it wont activate you can free call microsoft and explain during activation - they supply the number after you enter the location. Type activation in search or right click computer then properties - when you find your vista product key. If you have the key you could try to do a by pass, but it seems like a senseless risk, and Im not sure either whether it would work.

Went there this past holiday season (2013) with my mom and daughter, and LOVED it. Great service, left feeling full, (wasn't even hungry for a real dinner that night) and the atmosphere was lovely. Would go again for sure.
Best Afternoon Tea Denver 2011 - Denver Tea Room - CLOSED
1820 E. Colfax Ave.
Denver, CO 80218
The Denver Tea Room is tucked into a front room of a nineteenth-century Colfax mansion that now houses a bed-and-breakfast, and it's the perfect setting for lazy, weekend English-style tea service as well as book clubs, which meet in the room at night for heady intellectual discussion over hot drinks and cookies. During the holidays, the tea room (no relation to the legendary downtown spot of the same name) also serves an elaborate high tea on linen-clothed tables — or in a cozy, private parlor. Never-empty teacups supplement a multi-course affair that includes shepherd's pie, a tea tray of scones and finger sandwiches, and sweet spice cakes. You can while away several hours with this ritual, sinking back into a velvety couch in the sunroom for a long conversation.
Surprising... Brought my mom here for Mother's Day, terrible service, tiny, unappetizing portions, could not even get the waitress to fill the tea cups after the first serving. I apologized to my mom and took her down the street to Pete's so she did not go home hungry.
I read that as "sweet potato coconut farts"
Excellent place. Loved their scones and sweet potato coconut tarts!
Love this place!

Loves to watch girlfriend with other men??
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 09-26-2013 - 8:52am
Anyone have any experience watching your wife or girlfriend with other men and/or women? Not actually joining in but watching in masturbating? Same goes for women watching their husband with other women....For me the guy has to be well hung and forceful. Would love to get some thoughts and share ideas. This is my first post on her, so please be kind. Thanks
|Sun, 09-29-2013 - 3:25pm
my #1 fantasy. for some time i have wanted to watch my wife with other men and or women. she used to play with me through fantasies of this kind but now prefers not to. would love to watch her do a threesome with a nice looking couple. i could join or just watch and have wonderful fun either way.
|Thu, 11-21-2013 - 9:00pm
I love this fantasy as well. My fantasy also includes situations where the other man is also very well endowed and this drives my wife crazy. Ive never done this in real life (watch my wife with someone else) but have it but I have had a few situations where I've learned of past (or future in the case of ex-girlfirends) situations where its turned out that size really did matter to her (even though the entire time I was in that relationship I would always be reassured that my small size was 'fine').
The best time this happend with with my wife is as follows. My wife is very pretty buy pretty typical in terms of her dress etc. She probably only has had about average experience as far as sexual partners in concerned but she did have one partner who I knew she had had a lot more sex with than other gusy (including me) and I had an understanding (or feeling maybe) that the sex was much better with him. One night she came home after being out with a friend who she hadnt seen in a few years. She lived out of town. She rarely drinks but had that night and she was beyond tipsy. I had gone to bed long befire and she had thought I was asleep. They opened a bottle of wine in the living room and I overheard a conversation where her friend asked her about her ex's size (apparently this grifriends's new boyrfriend was large). I overheard my wife go on in extreme detail about how huge her ex-boyfriend was, how incredible the sex was with him and how many orgasms he was able to give her. She said it was the best sex, by far, in her life. Ive never been able to give her an orgasm so this both caused me incredible jealously but also turned me on like nothing else. After about 15 minutes of this her freind asked if I was able to give her orgasms and my wife said no. She then asked if I was small and, this time my wife said yes. I couldnt see them (just hear them) but then I think she asked my size which I beleive she showed her ( she had asked how larger her ex was earlier, again I could only hear her but I heard the shock and gasps). All I need to do is just think about this scenario and I go crazy., I could easily explain this story in far more detrail but I think itd be inappropriate for this site.
I have a few scenarios like this from other ex-girlfriends as well. Probably the other best one was with my first serious girfriend in university. Again, it would probably be too graphic for this site.
If anyone wants to email further about this please reply or email me firstname.lastname@example.com

Lots of men have the fantasy of seeing their partner with another man. If you have a partner, have you talked to her about this?

Hi NHgal, I'm not sure about the original poster but I have talked to my wife about this (mostly). We have talked, on a handful of occasions, about her past with other larger guys who have been able to give her orgasms. She'll mostly not talk about this subject or say downplay it but on a few occasions (like the rare time she drinks) she will open up. Thats when she tells me a fair bit about things she's been able to do or was willing to do with former boyfriends.
I think she doesnt like talking about this normally for a bunch of reasons, partly because she doent want me to feel bad and is embarrassed a bit about how promiscuous she was with her ex but also she admitted once that she doesn't like to thin too much about it as it just causes her to become more frustrated and short tempered (ive seen this side to her!).
As to talking about her actually being with another man we've kinda talked around that issue but a few times its come up 'as a fantasy' that we wouldn't really do but its fun to think about. Even then she almost always tells me that when she masturbates (when I know is very frequently even thought she downplays this) it is just a nameless faceless man. Again, on a handful of occasions she's admitted, or more appropriately let it slip that her fantasies are more about actual men. Both men she's been with in the past or guys she interacts with now. This really turns me on and she's just recently let me draw her into shares experiences when I describe her with one of the men I know she has a thing for. We've just started this and it hasn't gone very far but Im hopeful for the future.
|Tue, 12-10-2013 - 9:39pm
Thats interesting. How did you first get into this? Do you find that its the girl or the man that wants to do it more? Or perhaps both? What are the couples like? I mean do they seem normal, other than of course you're sleeping with the woman?
Sorry for all the questions but Im very intriqued for a few reasons?

Superior Industries Reports Financial Results For 2012 Second Quarter
Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP) today reported net income of $6.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012. This compares with net income of $14.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011.
For the 2012 second quarter, consolidated net sales increased 3 percent, to $215.1 million from $208.7 million in the comparable period a year ago. Unit shipments increased 14 percent to 3.3 million from 2.9 million in last year's second quarter. Gross profit was $15.7 million, or 7 percent of net sales, compared with $19.5 million, or 9 percent of net sales, in the comparable period a year ago.
The company said the average unit selling price decreased 10 percent in the second quarter of 2012, largely attributable to a decline in average aluminum price, which is generally passed through to customers, along with a weaker product mix and a decline in the value of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar. The decline in gross profit and margin percentage reflected the weaker product mix, along with manufacturing challenges in the U.S. and the negative impact from foreign currency rates. All manufacturing facilities operated at or near full capacity to meet the increase in unit volume. Higher operating costs in the U.S. offset a strong performance at the company's facilities in Mexico.
"I am pleased that our factories, especially our plants in Mexico, met a significant increase in demand for our product despite already operating at very high utilization rates," said Steven J. Borick, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. "However, when considering the ever-increasing product standards that we must meet in the context of today's pricing, we still are incurring significant operating and profitability challenges in our U.S. manufacturing facilities. We continue to invest in capital equipment and talent to address these challenges and remain confident we can improve the performance of our U.S. plants that today remain critical to meeting the needs of our customers."

Dec. 13 (Bloomberg) -- 99 Cents Only Stores, the discount retailer being purchased by Ares Management LLC and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board removed financial covenants from a $525 million term loan B that finances the buyout, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction.
The seven-year debt will pay 5.5 percentage points more than the London interbank offered rate with a 1.5 percent minimum on the benchmark, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The company is proposing to sell the debt at 98 cents on the dollar, Bloomberg data show, reducing proceeds for the borrower and increasing yield for investors.
Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal are arranging the financing for The City of Commerce, California-based company which is also seeking a $150 million asset-based revolving line of credit and $250 million of senior notes, Bloomberg data show.
99 Cents Only agreed to be acquired for about $1.6 billion, the company said in an Oct. 11 statement. Members of the founding Gold/Schiffer family support the $22-a-share offer and will continue to hold a minority stake in the company, according to the statement.
Angela Thurstan, a spokeswoman for 99 Cents Only, didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
An asset-based financing is secured by the borrower's inventory and account receivables. A term loan B is sold mainly to non-bank lenders such as collateralized loan obligations, mutual funds and hedge funds.

At first loved this product, great microphone great reception. But three to four months after being installed it started not accepting my phone and now after about six months it almost never works at all. It keeps saying RESET08 and when you look up that code in the manual it says the cable is loose, but it is firmly plugged in. I haven't had a chance to take it out to send it in for warranty work.

When learning is labor lost
Updated: 2014-05-10 09:44
By Cheng Fucai (China Daily)
The true value of education is not economic success but pursuit of knowledge and development of personality
Students from Shanghai continued their impressive performance at the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment, taking the first place in mathematic, reading and science. The results of the tests, conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development every three years, has once again sparked a debate over whether other countries and regions should draw inspiration from Shanghai's "success". Incidentally, Shanghai students had also led the field in 2009, when the last tests were held.
In February, British Education Minister Elizabeth Truss led a delegation to Shanghai and visited a local junior high school to observe the city's teaching practices. Although it may not be in Chinese people's interest to comment on the British delegation's fact-finding mission, at least two facts revealed by the media deserve attention.
The first was revealed in a photograph of Truss watching Chinese children during a physical education class: five of the six students were wearing glasses. It is hard to say whether the high rate of shortsightedness among Shanghai students has anything to do with the long hours they spend poring over books (and hence their strong performance at PISA). But statistics do show that a higher percentage of students in Shanghai suffers from myopia than those in Singapore or Britain.
The high incidence of myopia among Shanghai students can be attributed to their heavy workload, because on average they spend 13.8 hours a week doing homework. In contrast, children in OECD member states spend only seven hours a week on homework. Shanghai students continue to outperform their counterparts from other countries and regions because they spend twice as much time on homework. This is a big burden for children which forces many to play truant, drop out of school or, in extreme cases, commit suicide.
The second fact was revealed in what Truss said about her interaction with the students. She said the most popular answer to her question, "what do you want to be", was "scientist" or "engineer". This is not surprising given the deep-rooted concept among Chinese people that education is a means of achieving success in life and climbing the social ladder.
Many parents, teachers and schools even believe that education is of no use if it cannot bring economic success, and the first concrete step toward that success is for a student to get high marks. Because of this deep-rooted belief, the delight in the pursuit of knowledge, and the development of personality and sense of social responsibility - which should be the real purpose of education - are often compromised, if not altogether ignored.

I should be able to get it for around $853.40 USD

SEOUL: South Korea's Olympic body has lifted six-month domestic suspensions on four players found guilty of deliberately underperforming during the London Olympics, officials said Wednesday.
But Jung Kyung-Eun, Kim Ha-Na, Ha Jung-Eun and Kim Min-Jung remain suspended from South Korea's national team for one year, the Korean Olympic Committee ruled.
The Korea Badminton Association had initially suspended the players for two years and banned two coaches for life.
After an appeal the players' bans were cut to six months while the coaches saw their lifetime suspension slashed to two years.
The committee also urged the badminton association to take measures to prevent similar scandals.
Eight female badminton players, from South Korea, Indonesia and China were disqualified from the Games for trying to lose matches in order to secure a more favourable draw in the next phase.
The scandal prompted Chinese badminton star Yu Yang to quit the sport. Indonesian badminton doubles pair Greysia Polii and Meiliana Jauhari were banned for four months.
South Korea earned one badminton bronze medal in London - its worst performance in the sport at any Olympics. - AFP

Blast from the Past: iTunes 1
iTunes 1, which worked on all Apple systems released August 1998 or later required OS 9.0.4 to run. It had playlists. The ability to burn CDs. That trippin' visualizer thing that created pretty pictures out of your music. It even had the browse icon. You know the one. It looks like an "eye". Lets you browse by album and artist and all? It's the single biggest feature that people who complain about iTunes are looking for and then they get all surprised that it has been there since version 1 of the thing. Version one even supported CDDB Gracenotes.
It's amusing to see the list of supported hardware players: Nakamichi SoundSpace 2, Nomad II & II MG, Nomad Jukebox, Nike psa-play 60 & 120, and Rio 500, 600 & 800. Notice anything missing? Huh, huh?
After all, this was almost 3 years before the iPod. Er, after all, this was probably about 6-9 months before the iPod.
Another thing that made me chuckle in the article was the disappointed mention that you couldn't "skin" iTunes. Man, how times have changed. Not!
If this story tickled your fancy, you'll probably want to also check out TUAW's previous iTunes from 0 to 7.0 overview and history of the iTunes icon.

Newark airport screener returns $5,000 cash found on floor
A Transportation Security Administration agent is being lauded for returning $5,000 in cash that he found on the floor at Newark Liberty International Airport.
John Deschamp tells The Star-Ledger of Newark that he found the cash on Dec. 27 in Newark's Terminal C. The Star-Ledger writes the cash appeared "as if it had been stuffed in a pocket."
The Associated Press adds "officials say no security cameras were focused on the area."

Nonetheless, Deschamp -- a "supervisory screening officer" -- turned in the cash in the hopes it could be reunited with its owner, according to the Star-Ledger.
"Basically I was just doing my job and I would hope that anybody else would do the same," Deschamp tells the Star-Ledger. The newspaper writes he "worked with senior citizens and emotionally troubled youth before joining the TSA in 2002."
THE STAR-LEDGER: TSA screener turns in $5K found on Newark airport floor
Deschamp says he was reluctant to go public with the story, but agreed to do so because of the string of negative stories involving the TSA in recent years.
"It is upsetting," he says to the Star-Ledger. "It just gets a little tiring, people constantly saying something. 'You guys are always in the paper for something bad.' But hopefully, some of the positive things will start getting out. Like my situation."
As for the cash, it was turned over to United Airlines since it was found near a check-in desk for United's elite-level customers.
United spokeswoman Mary Ryan tells the Star-Ledger that no one had come forward to identify the cash as of Tuesday. If no one does, the airline says it will use the money for charity.

In the great beer producing country of Belgium, some brewers have made it a tradition to give their beers an unusual name. Sometimes the name is curious, now and then it is diabolical and other times it is just plain silly. Damnation is Russian River Brewing Co.'s interpretation of a Belgian style Strong Golden Ale. It has extraordinary aromas of banana and pear with mouth filling flavors of sweet malt and earthy hops. The lingering finish is dry and slightly bitter but very, very smooth. 7.0%ABV / 1.068 O.G / 25 BUs

MCCONNELLS When Alberta Anthony entered Bethesda Presbyterian Church in McConnells three years ago, she felt a great sense of peace.
Standing underneath the sanctuary's chandelier, she looked at the balcony where her ancestors and her husband's – the Davidsons and the Anthonys – once sat. That was standard in many York County churches prior to the Civil War: White parishioners sat in pews; their slaves worshiped in the balcony.
During Sunday's 11 a.m. service, Anthony will be one of six new elders ordained at the historic church, which was organized in 1769. Three men and three women comprise the latest class of elders that will serve for three years.
Anthony is the first black church member elected as a Bethesda elder.
"I feel like this is getting me closer to God," Anthony said. "I'm not doing this in rebellion, not with an attitude... In heaven it will be blacks and whites."
Bethesda's spiritual leader, the Rev. Daniel Smoak, called today's installation "an exciting moment for the church."
"But in another way, we're doing what we have always done, setting apart by prayer and the laying on of hands leaders chosen by God for service to His church," he said. "I believe Alberta was chosen for leadership in this church for the right reasons – not as a political statement about race – but simply because of her gifts and service to the church.
"She and her husband James are good members; she'll be a good elder."
Anthony said she didn't intend to change churches when she visited Bethesda with friends three years ago. Her home church was St. Paul's Baptist, where she attended until she married James in 1972. She and James attended Galilee Baptist.
She was active at Galilee, but felt led to change churches.
At Bethesda, the former fifth-grade teacher at Hickory Grove-Sharon Elementary attended services, went to Sunday school and Bible study. Others recognized her servant heart, and she was elected by the congregation as an elder.
In her new role, Smoak said, Anthony will be asked to "consider ways the church can share the good news of Jesus with a broken, hurting and fragmented community and world. She cares about those things."
Anthony also is interested in expanding the church's annual food drive and using her experience as a teacher to work with the church's youth.
Most of all, she said, she wants to be seen as a peacemaker when differences arise among the elders.

Feedback Friday is Wild!!
I couldn't decide what fragrance to do this week for Feedback Friday, so I'm letting you choose. It's a Wild Card kinda Friday!
The product: 2-ounce purse size hand cream in tottle bottle.
The fragrance: you name it. Choose from our complete list of fragrances. We've even included a few surprises here that were limited editions or special orders that never made it into our standard fragrance list.
The label: will not look anything like this one pictured here. I promise.
What IS Feedback Friday? It's our way of sharing a fragrance or flavor you might not have tried before by offering a f.r.e.e. sample that you can add to your next order. (We pay for product, you pay for shipping...so technically you can add it to the cart without an order, but the shipping will still apply. Make sense?)
It's also a place for you to share your opinions if you've already tried a product, or come back and share once you've received a sample. Our past Feedback Fridays have been Sweetini Spa, Apricot Freesia, Green Clover and Aloe, Lilac, and Lemon Blueberry. We also offered samples of our new facial moisturizer (still a few left if anyone is interested...?).
Is there a fragrance you've been dying to try? Here's your chance. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I'm going to stretch out the time between Feedback Fridays, so this will be available for at least three weeks. Please let me know what you think! What's your favorite fragrance? Which one do you want to try next?
AND...please let me know if you think these Feedback Fridays are valuable. Is there a better way to let you share comments about products? (You know, you can also post reviews on Facebook.) A better way to try them? Any ideas are welcome!

I love Feedback Friday!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 23, 2010 at 10:06 PM
I love Feedback Friday also! It's so nice to be able to try a small amount before purchasing a whole bottle. And while we're on the subject of feedback, the facial moisturizer sample you sent is wonderful! Not greasy, absorbs quickly and leaves my skin very soft. Thank you so much. You have great products!ReplyDelete
Lisa and Mary, I'm so glad that you are enjoying Feedback Friday! I like doing it!!ReplyDelete
Mary, thank you for the feedback about the facial moisturizer. I am glad that, for the most part, people are enjoying it. It is definitely thicker than the standard lotion or hand cream, but I definitely notice the softness when I use it, too.
Thank you both!
Am I too late for this FF?ReplyDelete
No, Beth! We're going another week on this one!ReplyDelete

Anyone have a view on this?
I am just finishing off our AUP for teacher laptops.
I was wondering what the position is on the school viewing the data on teacher laptops. Are we allowed to just take them and view any data that is on them.
I was going to put in something like "The school reserves the right to view any data that is stored on the laptop that you have been issued"
Is this ok?
I was thinking that if they agree to it and sign it, it was ok. Plus the laptop belongs to the school anyway.
Anyone have a view on this?
Laptops get the same treatment as any other client. Our network is used for educational use only, and as the equipment is owned by the school, you should be authorisesd to look at any data stored.
However, you would need a valid reason to go searching through files stored on someones user area. Like you say, if it is in the AUP they sign, then you already have permisssion to do what the AUP says. Every now and then I run a file scanner and if it picks up some dodgy files in user areas then I will investigate further. Everyone who uses the schools facilities signs an AUP which states that everything they do is monitored, this includes Laptops.

Great thanks for the reply.
I kinda thought that was the situation but wanted to check.

The National Human Rights Commission has issued a notice to Karnataka on media reports that around 8,000 people still make a living through the banned practice of manual scavenging in the State.
The Commission, which suo motu took cognizance of the reports, said that if they were true, they raised a serious issue of violation of the human rights of those engaged in the inhuman job.
The notice, returnable in four weeks, asked the Chief Secretary to specify the districts where manual scavenging was still prevalent and list the steps the government had taken for its eradication after the State adopted the Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act, 1993, in 1997.
The reports said manual scavenging was banned in the State in 1970, yet about 8,000 persons were engaged in the job, especially at Kennedy Lances in Kolar Gold Fields.

Old Jeans Bracelet
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Recycle old blue jeans into a funky beaded bracelet with this easy craft idea from Amanda Formaro. The Old Jeans Bracelet is a simple way of recycling clothing, and it costs virtually nothing! Make the matching Rainbow Jeans Ring too!
- Leg of old blue jeans, any size
- Sewing needle
- Barrel clasp
- 5mm stretchable bead & jewelry cord
- Colorful seed beads
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- You will need the actual seam of the blue jeans for this bracelet. Trim to about 1/4" along both sides of the seam. Cut seam to fit wrist, keep it a little loose, like a bangle and remember to account for the clasp.
- Pull threads along the edges of the seam to fray the denim.
- Thread a sewing needle with jewelry cord. From the back of the denim, run the needle in and up through the center where your clasp will go. Run the needle and cord through the loop in the clasp and sew several times, tie off. Secure clasp with a little hot glue. Repeat for the other end of the denim.
- Thread needle through the back of the denim and pull taught. Thread 6-8 seed beads onto the needle and slide down the jewelry cord until the touch the denim. Lay the cord and beads down on the denim to gauge where to insert the needle and run the cord through to the back. Run in back up through to the front side about half an inch from where the last set ended, repeat the beading as in the first set. Continue this until you have as many beads as you like. Tie off and secure end with a little hot glue.
Hint: The easiest way to thread the beads onto the needle is to poke the needle into the bead and lift. Some beads may be too small to fit over the eye of the needle as seeds beads do vary slightly in size.
