If you have noticed that your eyes don't look as bright and perky as they once did, you are certainly not alone. Many women report their eyes as the most problem prone area of the face. Issues like dark circles and puffiness can lead to a dull and fatigued appearance.
Everyone has rough nights that result in a not so lively look the next morning. But many people experience persistent dark circles and puffiness that remain even after the best night's sleep. Hylexin eye cream was developed specifically for these troublesome issues under the eye area. The formulas consist of powerful blends that effectively manage dark circles and puffiness, allowing you to recapture your youthful glow. Rather than covering the problem up with a concealer, opt for a long term solution that will actually produce results. Hylexin offers remarkable hope for those suffering from both dark circles and puffiness.
Dark circles form when weak capillaries leak blood. The blood then pools underneath the eye area, creating a discoloration. Clinical studies have shown that Hylexin dark circles solutions reduce the red and blue appearance underneath the eyes when used regularly. Hylexin before and after photos say it all.

Hylexin For Dark Circles Customer Reviews
Use the product before reviewing - 2/22/2010 5:20:59 PM I have used the product for the last 90 days and it does not work al all. My eyes are the same as when I started the product .It was very expensive and it does not work AL ALL... DOEN NOT WORK OR MAKE ANY IMPROVEMENT....I AM VERRY DISAPONTED THAT PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK....THANKSWonderful - not expensive either - 2/14/2010 1:53:29 PM LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! been using it for a few years. I skipped a year due to no money to buy it. I just finally bought it again after a little over a year of not having it because my circles got dark again. (still not as dark as they were before i ever used this though) after using for while you can use it only once a day instead of twice and you use so little that the bottle lasts about a year so the price isn't expensive if it lasts a whole year! It's wonderful and i'm so glad i found it! Missed it so much that i just might stock up on it now that i have a little money :)Clearly impressed - 1/7/2010 6:53:55 PM I tried this product and was just amazed at how instantanious the results were. Put it on and boom, dark circles gone. This stufff works I put it on under my eyes and the dark circles were gone immediately. I just wish the cost were a little more reasonable. I was guilty of not always washing off mascara, but now I have real dark circles along with stain. But it still worked for me.Seriously works for me - 12/5/2009 1:43:45 PM I didn't want to admit that Hylexin works - It's too expensive. But after using it, stopping & going back to it, I have to say that it is the only product that works for me. It takes at LEAST 7-10days to notice a change. The best way to tell, is to stop using it. Within 3 days the bags & dark circles will be back ( after that 1st 10 days you don't remember how you looked and you think it's not working) I used to go through tubes of concealer & now I use very little, that's how I justify the cost.This One Actually Works! - 7/3/2009 9:24:40 PM I've had trouble with dark circles for years and tried several different products. Hylexin is the first one that actually produced visible results, so my sister started using too.dont recommend - 1/8/2009 1:52:40 PM i thought it was definately a waste of money. i saw no difference after 30 daysWorks... - 12/12/2008 6:39:22 PM it took me about 1 month to see the result... i'll not say it has completely diminish my dark circle, but it can see noticeable improvement. ppl around me can see the difference too. i'll stick to it unless i manage to find something even better.Highly Recommend! - 11/26/2008 9:44:42 AM I am baffled that everyone doesn't give Hylexin 5 stars. It must be that the other users didn't have the type of dark circles that Hylexin works on. It works GREAT!!puffiness - yes; dark circle - no - 9/14/2008 6:33:32 AM On my 2nd tube of this item. Each tube lasts for a long time, too. Definitely takes down puffiness, no question. But has minimal effects on my dark circles.Does Work! - 8/14/2008 4:34:50 PM I have serious dark circles and saw super improvements under my eyes. I didn't need to use the ton of concealer I was previosly using...a keeper. -

Sized as Expected
Daily wear
These shoes are my fifth pair of Merrell's so far. They are as light as a feather and almost ridiculously comfortable compared to other brands of shoe I have tried. Walking in them is a joy. I have back problems and usually suffer after half an hour or less walking in other shoes, but not these. They offer so much support for the feet and ankles. My only gripe is that they are Goretex but there is not enough of it! There is too much mesh which means when walking the dog through long grass, my feet still get soaked. My old worn out pair of Merrell's didn't have this problem. Oh, and please could the laces be a little longer?
Sized as Expected
Although comfy and flexible these shoes leaked and I had to return for refund.

Inclement weather forced the unveiling ceremony to be moved to the Museum Center at Five Points' lobby. Along one side of the lobby SAR members stood in their Revolutionary War period outfits.
Guests jostled each other to gain a closer position near the podium. Chapter President Carrell Van Deacon said the unveiling received a big turnout.
"We did get the turnout we were hoping for," Deacon said. "We had a lot of folks from all over the country. We had over a dozen family members who were the descendents of Col. Cleveland."
Descendents wore lime green name tags. Their family history, inside jokes and memories will be recorded on video. These will be included in Cleveland's archives.
"That is what this is all about," Deacon said. "If we don't do this, nobody is going to remember it in 10, 15 or 20 years ... We are not educating our youth very well."
Deacon said guests came from Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, among other states.
Two Harvard College professors, R. Scott Stephenson and Dr. Phillip Mead, were present for the proceedings.
A resolution was read by Deacon prior to the unveiling.
"Whereas, the City of Cleveland, Tennessee is named after Colonel Benjamin Cleveland; and whereas, Col. Benjamin Cleveland was born in Virginia in 1738 and lived at the Roundabout in Wilkes County, N.C., during the Revolutionary War, and commanded the Wilkes County militia at the Battle of Kings Mountain on Oct. 7, 1780, with the Patriot's victory there being considered the turning point of the Revolutionary War," Deacon read.
"And whereas, the town of Cleveland, formally known as Taylor's Place, was named in honor of Col. Benjamin Cleveland on Jan. 20, 1838, by the Tennessee State Legislature..."
"And whereas, the Col. Benjamin Cleveland Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution was named for Col. Cleveland, and was formally chartered and installed on Dec. 5, 2003..."
Deacon continued, "And whereas, in late 2007, the Col. Benjamin Cleveland Chapter voted to pursue the creation of a statue to honor the name-giver of the City of Cleveland, Tennessee as no other suitable memorial exists..."
Mayor Tom Rowland accepted the presentation of the statue to the city.
"On behalf of the city of Cleveland ... we appreciate very much [the statue]. This is another spoke in the wheel toward revitalizing our downtown district," Rowland said. "It gives us a point of reference, and a point for future generations to come and say, 'Yes, that is the man we named our city after.'"
Sculptor Josh Coleman, a local artist commissioned to create the Cleveland statue, was present for the unveiling proceedings.
"I can't imagine too many incredible things to do in your own city," Coleman said. "It is just a complete honor.
He said seeing the looks on guests' faces at the unveiling was reward in and of itself.
"If you are doing something for the public, your reward is in the eyes of the public," Coleman said. "To watch their response and reception to it is where the reward comes in. It gives me confidence in being successful in future projects."
He encouraged Cleveland to gather more art.
"Let's put more art out here in Cleveland. Art that creates experience, like the yellow chair (another Coleman creation)," Coleman said. "I imagine creating monumental objects that create experience. A sort of playfulness and enjoyment — a sheer pleasure in life."
Coleman said, "Let's experience life together in these fun ways."
The Col. Benjamin Cleveland Statue can be seen in the First Street Square. An explanatory plaque is on the front with a list of the monument benefactors in the back.

I am looking for a used road bike. I think a 58cm would work, possibly a 60cm (I'm a road newbie on the road, but I can check geometry against what I think I need). I have a budget of $1000. I'm willing to travel an hour or so to buy - I live in Northern CT.
Anyone have anything?

Help!Need part for Caravan Power Window Regulator
My passenger side power window in my 2005 Grand Caravan stopped working. Several people mentioned how the problem is consistently an overcurrent protector (or fuse) located inside the regulator. I've followed the instructions and removed the fuse, but cannot find anyone or any store where I can purchase this part. My local Dodge dealer actually laughed at my request. Is anyone familiar with where to buy this part?
gitahouse Posts: 1I never heard of a fuse in the PW regulator. It has a motor and the cable assembly thingy. If there's a fuse there where did you find it? I think you just have to replace the motor or the who;e regulator (with motor). If a little fuse could be replaced and fix this problem it would be nice. Are you sure about the fuse?
hcederlof Posts: 3There is to my knowledge no fuse in the motor/regulator.
This discussion most likely refers to a ceramic condensator
like the one that can be found in the top right corner of
link to condensators img
It is there to minimize disturbances in the electrical system that can be heard as a buzzing sound if you have the radio on while operation the window. -
parmac Posts: 2I have a 1996 Caravan and I have no power running to the HI/LO relay for the front wipers. I have checked all other relay points and they all have two Hot points. I have tried to shoot the pins and thay all are grounded?
I have verified the switch and motor work. Not sure where the power to the relay comes from? Wiper system works fine if you use the Wash feature. Other than that no movement. -
maknine Posts: 5you will not find just the ceramic piece on the motor. your best bet will be to find and replace the motor. i have found replaceing the whole track guide and regulator be the fastest way. you can find the whole assembly on Ebay for about 30-40 dollars, and should not take you more than 2 hours at the most to replace the whole system. i hope this helps you
woodyone Posts: 8I have a 2007 Grand Caravan with approximately 45000 miles on it. I have only problem with it. The passenger sliding door lock only works manually. (It is not a power slider.) Is ther something inside the door that needs fixing or a fuse somewhere.
Any help would be appreciated .

So cute but arms don't stretch
The arm holes are way too small and don't stretch.My arms are on the small/average side, they were being squished in there which was not cute by the way i got the m/L size. Still VERY tight on the arm. Returning asap
March 7, 2013
Not so great
The arm holes are way too tight. I ordered a P/S and my size is XS. Love Bebe but this one has to be return. Could be good for someone with very skinny arms and small bust, so there is less pulling.
January 20, 2013
try on to decide
I think think top is very cute. The arms are on the small side but they were not too tight on me. I have normal arms, not small so this top could work for you. I got it in the M/L size. I'm 32dd. I think it will be good to wear to a concert.
January 8, 2013
Nice, but...
The quality of this top is nice. It has just the right amount of stretch in the body. However, the bottom band of each sleeve was too tight around my upper arm. Unfortunately, I will return this.
January 3, 2013
Arms are too tight!
I purchased the top in black but have to return it. After trying it on, I immediately realized this top is defective, the arm holes are way too tight, they cut into your arms and after having it on for just 5 minutes it was already starting to cut off my circulation. Unless you have very thin arms this top will not work. So unfortunate because it is cute.

On Tuesday at approximately midnight, McCline of 1002 Newsome St. in Cleveland was shot near Sunset Village apartment complex on 900 White St.
Williams said the victim was shot in the chest and when officials arrived, family members had transported him to Bolivar Medical Center.
"Once he arrived at the hospital, we were informed that he had passed away," added Williams.
"We're actively looking for the suspect. We're trying to get leads to help us.
"Someone at that complex knows what happened or has information. We need citizens to assist us, because we're not going to ignore the needs of our citizens. The sheriff's department will do whatever it takes to bring criminals to justice," said Williams.
The sheriff encourages citizens be to actively involved with assisting them to solve crimes.
"We advise them to use Crimestoppers to help us. I advise everyone to consider McCline being one of their family members.
"If you had a family member that you had just heard been involved in an incident such as this, you would want justice," said Williams. "When individuals commit crimes, we're going to lock them up or do whatever we need to do to keep them from doing the same crime over and over again. We're not going to let that happen in Bolivar County."

Bird Square Tray:
Measurements: 14" SQ x 2" H
Material: Lacquered wood
Care: Wipe with a damp cloth
Brand: J Fleet
Origin: Imported
J. Fleet's artful, earth-toned lacquer trays, bowls and wine boxes not only make ideal serveware pieces — they also work well as stylish room accents. Many feature botanical themes of buds and flowers; we also love the whimsical animal motifs (such as the trio of happy-looking elephants emblazoned on the large tray). Painstaking work (15 layers of lacquer!) gives the pieces a beautiful depth and shine; they're all made according to traditional artisanal techniques. Founder Emily Rubin Persons was struck by Vietnam's beautiful lacquerware products during her travels through Asia; in 1995 she decided to marry the ancient art to her own, contemporary designs — and J. Fleet was born.

Awesome.The new stuff is great, but can you put a total of all the part counts in, too, please? It would also be nice to have a link to the user on each design page.
It would also be cool if the total part count and the badges were shown in the Design browser.
Actually I notice that 613823 has its level wrong: it thinks it is Up the Hump, when it is actually one of the Hidden levels.
I've added totals. I can't add a link to the user because FC.com doesn't provide information about a design/level's creator.
I can't add total part count and badges to the browser because it'd have to fetch every level from FC.com.
All the hidden levels show the wrong level. FC.com links to them a completely different level. This could be mitigated if I add something that compares whether the design is actually derived from its supposed level (by comparing the landscape parts, etc.).

I'm surprised this product got so many good reviews. My brand new 2011 car got numerous scratches from the overhead hoses at a self car wash. Weeks later I hand washed, dried my car & applied the product as directed. The scratches were still there. I even applied it more than once & still no change. I gave it 1 star because it did make my car shine. I decided not to return it because it makes a great polish!

This is the 5th and final product I will buy to cover what appeared to be key vandalism. I have a black vehicle with a clearcoat finish and this product has hidden the scratch well enough that I can live with it without paying my insurance deductible to have the panel repainted!! Worked great on dog claw marks on a friend's black vehicle as well. Very pleased!!!!

14Small-room bath vanity/sink (16 inches)
Materials: Lillangen sink, Grundtal faucet, Besta base units
Description: The vanity is comprised of Besta units which come in different widths and heights. Their depths match the depth of the sink (16 inches) so you can configure to your own needs. I added one draw and three doors with shelves. Use any single hole faucet and use any handles or none at all. Legs are also Ikea. Use your own preference. You adjust your interior to fit plumbing and you are good to go!

well done for a small bathroom!
LOVE it!
Beautiful! Just the right size.
I don't know how Bestå takes the humidity, but this sure looks perfect!
I bought this sink and faucet for the size wish I'd seen that cabinet, I bought the lillangen one.
One extra side panel as a spacer and the sink would fit perfectly without the overhang on the end. Nice job.
Could you tell us what Besta units you used? I'm having trouble figuring it out…
It looks a little shorter than a "normal" counter. What's the height?
This is great! Thank you for post this. I would like to do this same configuration in my bathroom, however I'm having a hard time figuring out which BESTÅ Storage/Shelf combination you used.
Is to the BESTÅ Shelf unit http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20102154/#/60102152
with the right side cut down?How is the left side taller than the right?
Good solution for a small bathroom!
anyone any idea what doors have been used on this?
Smae question about the doors

Mom Meets 2500 Unique Visitors
One of high points of our Thanksgiving stay with my mother was explaining to her about the 2500 strangers who tuned in their computers over a 48 hour period last month solely to view the oil lamps, kitchen implements, tools, saws, mallets, knives, button hooks, seeders, meat grinders, ceramics, doodads, gadgets, widgets, and other objects she displays on the cabinets, shelves, tables, counters, and, most prominently, the walls of her home hidden away in an obscure corner of the Ozarks.1
My mother, whose previous interest in matter Internetian could have been generously described as cursory, was enthralled by the phenomenon (described in a previous post, Mother's Tchotchke Inventory Hits The Charts), including the role of StumbleUpon in triggering the flurry of hits and several positive reviews of and comments about her collections, the differences in the web stats from competing vendors, the distinction between the hits and page views, the definition of "unique visitor," the international locations of the viewers, the importance of search engines, the various categories of blogs, … .
More to the point, she was genuinely touched and gratified by the interest shown by others in her accumulated miscellany.
And she was also genuinely proud of my work manifest in the Heck of Guy blog.2
Which gives me a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
The Carved Geese
At the top and bottom of this post are photos of two hand-carved geese that reside on the back deck of my mother's cabin. She thought they might be a nice Heck of a Guy offering for a Sunday morning.
- The set of photos of Mom's displays that captured the viewers' interest are at Gallery Of My Mother's Inventory [↩]
- It should be noted, however, that "genuinely proud," "touched and gratified," and "enthralled" do not translate into a plan or even a whimsical wish on Mom's part to explore computers or cyberspace. That ship has, it seems, sailed, landed on the other side of the ocean, and been burned to preclude retreat. [↩]

Ruthven was wandering around the Bunker halls, carving random things into the walls with a rock. He had just finished a drawing of "Dumble" when he heard the shouts. The gnome's caricature forgotten, he sprinted towards the source of the sounds, which quickly turned out to be the Bunker's entryway. He stopped behind a wall, panting, and listened.
It didn't take him long to recognize Felucca's voice. His face lit up, though nobody saw it.
Oh boy! Fel's here! And it sounds like something interesting is going on!
Felucca had barely finished talking when Ruthven dashed off to the library, eager to be there when the action happened. He was so busy wondering what might possibly be happening as he ran that he didn't notice Chet at all (quite an accomplishment), and proceeded to smack into his leg. Ruthven fell to the ground, but was back on his feet in moments.
"Chet!" He said excitedly, "Something's going on! Come to the reading room, everyone's going to be here in a minute!"
Racing past Chet,
who seemed somewhat bemused,
Ruthven made his way to the big table in the reading room. Only there he realized that he was still holding the stone he had been carving on the wall with. He tossed it under the table.

"Felucc!a..." Cochinel,l clicked his mandibles (the equivalent of raising an eyebrow) in interest. he'd not gotten far towards the lookout, but he was close enough to hear the garrulous gargoyle's arrival. He diverted his course towards the library.

"Hmph." Dimble smirked, leaning against the side of the watch tower. He turned his head, looking down with amusement in his eyes as he shook his head. "It's only Felucca. She couldn't hurt any of us if she tried. But from what I've seen.... it's the accidents we have to watch out for." Dimble shared a small chuckle with himself, as he moved towards the ladder. "See, Ariel? Told you we didn't need
. I'll meet you down there. And as much as I appreciated the sudden lift up here, I will have you note for the future that I do, indeed, have my own legs." He lifted a leg, shaking it a little as if to bring attention to it before grabbing ahold of the ladder. "As such, I prefer to use them. Meet you down there."
Not bothering with the individual rungs of the ladder, Dimble simply held the outsides of it, sliding down through the cold air. His jesting manner slipped a little bit as he mumbled to himself. "Friggen'... just because I'm short doesn't mean I can't get to where I want to..."
Dimble folded his arms once he had landed, protecting himself from the cold as he hurried inside. He decided first to find Felucca, wherever the brat was, and ask what was going on. However, a loud voice travelled through the underground halls just enough to reach the gnome.
"...Come to the reading room, everyone's going to be here..."
Well, that answered that question. Dimble hurried on through the halls, quickly sliding through the doors to the reading room. Upon finding the smallest unnocupied chair, he took it, leaning back as far as he could.

The excitement of having a visitor from the Haven guard was enough that Ariel's sunny smile didn't waver even one iota, despite Dimble's disparaging remarks about Felucca- someone she considered a friend. She'd learned not to expect courtesy from the dwarf, so his remarks to her were allowed to simply breeze right over her head.
She stepped off the landing, floating effortlessly down as Dimble struggled with the ladder. "Yes, it is simply Felucca. And she wished to speak to all of us at the same time. Now we won't have to wait as long while everyone else is notified." She spoke brightly as she passed him on the way down, that smile of hers still serenely in place on her pale blue features. "See you in the library, Dimble!" A cheery wave, and then she turned and flew down the rest of the distance, returning to the kitchen to get that mug of something warm for Felucca, along with one of the last few pieces of pie. Foodstuffs in hand, she then headed towards the library.

Lilith was sweating from head to toe.
Her solution to coping with the boredom of the cold winter months in the tundra was a rigorous work-out scheme that kapt her body warm and her mind sharp. Over the past weeks she had developed a number of new moves (which probably already existed in some form of Martial Arts somewhere in the galaxy, but were new for her) and trained them until they had become instinctive like a second nature.
Presently, her concentration was disturbed by the noise of multiple voices echoing along the hallways of the Bunker. With a small sigh, she stood up straight, bowed her head towards the caligraphic banner mounted on the rear wall of the room and went to where she had deposited her gear.
After rubbing most of the sweat out of her fur and putting on a new set of clothes, she went for the door in search for the source of the commotion. She turned the corner of the corridor just in time to see the pink Gargoyle-creature drop down the Bunker's main entrance. She instinctively assumed a fighting stance, but relaxed immediately as she recognized the "intruder".
"Oh -
Lilith had met the dragon-girl once or twice during her time in the Haven, but she didn't remeber her name. What she did remember was that she had been known as somethiong of a troublemaker, though...
"If you could all meet up in the library, I'd be much obliged. And could somebody get me a mug of something warm?"
Most of the present members of the Sapphire Guard followed the Gargoyle towards the library. Lilith decided to take a little setour, though, and followed Ariel into the kitchen. Something warm actually sounded like a good idea right now. Out in the corridor with her fur still damp from her work-out, she could feel the cold creeping up on her.
Seeing how Ariel took away the last pieces of pie, Lilith picked up one of the bolws instead and filled it to the brim with the warm soup from the big kettle. This wasn't a delicious meal by far, but it warm and plenty - just what she needed right now.
Holding the bowl of soup in one hand and a wooded spoon in the other, Lilith stepped back out of the kitchen. In the corridor, she found Samson standing in front of her room.
"Oh, hi Samson! Were you looking for me?"

As the others got carried away by the excitement of an impending arrival - or so it seemed to her - Tethys sighed, and had been about to follow at a distance when Felucca touched down.
"If you could all meet up in the library, I'd be much obliged. And could somebody get me a mug of something warm?"
she heard her saying.
'Probably about something that needs doing. Work, work, work, work, work... Oh joy. Well, at least we'll get out of the Bunker for a while. Cabin fever was starting to settle in," Tethys thought to herself, before turning on her heel and heading towards the library - the others would get there soon enough.
She was fairly sure it was Ruthven whom she could hear having a burst of giddy excitement as she approached the library doors.
"Something's going on! Come to the reading room, everyone's going to be here in a minute!"
Tethys chuckled to herself and wandered through the library, making a beeline for the reading room - assuming that was where they'd be gathering for this briefing.
"And to think I wondered what happened to the sugar cubes," she said as an aside to Chet as she passed the lizardman by.
Reaching the reading room, she nodded to those already gathered there. Normally she wasn't one for idle talk, but Tethys didn't really feel comfortable just sitting in silence for some reason today.
"Hullo boys - got any clues as to what this is all about?" she offered Ruthven and Dimble, trying to be cordial.

"Oh, it could be a mission, or maybe we're needed at the Haven, or something like that," said Ruthven. Too energized by excitement to sit, he was pacing around. "Maybe someone's hurt and they need my help! D'you think that's what it is? Do you think there's trouble, Teth?"

Chet was surprised as the little vampire ran into his leg full force, then ran off. Somewhat bemused, (yet also wincing somewhat, rubbing his leg,) Chet went back to his book, intending to read the rest of the paragraph when Tethys came up to him.
"AH! Um, yes, I suppose so," Chet stammered, immediately hiding the book behind his back. "Let's go, then," he said quickly, shoving the book back on the shelf and taking long strides to the reading room, staying ahead of Tethys, but not rudely so.
"Not a clue," he said when Tethys asked the question. "All I know is what Runt here was yammering while running through the halls like he was on fire." He smiled and tousled the kid's hair.

Kassandra shivered hanging towards the back of the group as a breath of frigid air followed Felucca into the Bunker. It might be colder inside but the air was relatively still, she hurried to set the door closed before setting off towards the library.

"Maybe someone's hurt and they need my help! D'you think that's what it is? Do you think there's trouble, Teth?"
"Not a clue,"
Chet said.
"All I know is what Runt here was yammering while running through the halls like he was on fire."
'Teth? My name's only got two syllables, why does the kid want to go and make it shorter?'
Tethys wondered to herself. Maybe it was that whole "nickname" thing that some of the others were so keen on.
She leant forwards onto the table, and crossed her arms.
"Honestly, I don't know Ruthven. I think there's something up, otherwise Earthsong or the marshal wouldn't have sent Felucca to us, but if you were needed urgently for your talents, I think she would have said so when she landed. More likely something planned is afoot methinks, but we won't know details till Felucca tells us," Tethys replied calmly.
"As for trouble, well trouble is our nearest tribe - I don't see it moving away in the immediate future," she quipped. "First time in a while that I've seen you looking forward to a combat prospect though, Ruthven."

Ariel reached the reading room only a few moments after Tethys, mug of tea in one hand and a still-warm slice of rhubarb pie in the other, both of which were offered over to the big purple dragoness with a sympathetic smile. "Here, I thought you might like something to eat as well."
Once she'd fulfilled her duties as the Good Hostess she breezed over to one of the empty chairs, her smile returning as she caught the tail end of Ruthven's excitement. "We'll know as soon as the others are here as well." Ariel chuckled lightly, then turned and gave a nod to Chet in greeting.

Ailurin slipped quietly into the room, having spent a few minutes up in the lookout engaged in some composure grooming. He nodded to the room generally, and then leaped lithely atop one of the bookshelves. There he settled back on his haunches with his tail wrapped lightly around the edge of the shelf behind him for stability.
Absently, he began grooming again, combing his fingers through his fur, first against the grain, then with it. Like most of his kind, Ailurin had a tendency to groom himself when excited or worried. It being nearly spring, he was shedding, and it felt so good to loosen the over-tight clumps of fur!
Of course, the inevitable side effects had led to confrontations with at least one of the other sapphirians, unhappy about having a thin layer of Eveo fur spread over everything. Ailurin actually sympathized with that viewpoint, being pathologically neat himself. Back on Dauben it wasn't an issue, but here it was, and so as soon as he noticed he was grooming he consciously made himself stop. To keep his hands busy he got a ball of string from a basket placed nearby for just such occasions, and settled to playing the game Nanashi called "Cat's Cradle" while waiting for the meeting to begin.

Felucca had already curled herself up on a chair in the corner... the only comfy chair to boot. Her large wings were wrapped around her and parted only as much as necessary to allow her to eagerly snatch up the mug from Ariel and put the pie aside. A sip was followed by a sputter and then a mumble about cocoa - the tea and the pie traded places.
Once the pie was fully engulfed and the tea given the honour of at least warming Felucca's hands, she turned to those already assembled.
"So... where are the rest of you?"

Samson turned his head to face Lilith as she rounded the corner. Blinking a few times, he couldn't help but smile.
Of course, of course. She was probably off doing something, not cooped up in her room. Good that she found me, then.
"Felucca is visiting, everyone is assembling in our reading hall," he rumbled as softly as he could.
He swept one large arm toward the hallway leading to the reading room, before moving toward it himself. His steps were calm and slow, which would still be about right for Lilith's walking pace, after height differences.

If you're looking to paint your room in the most classic color, with the most impact and most dramatic effect – go with red. However, the 'right' red is hard to get. There are so many bad shades of red. They're either too bordello or too raspberry nail polish. Or they're so brown it's like eating in a Southwestern themed restaurant, or so primary you think of the American flag. Look for a juicey pomegranate red, Chinese lacquer red or a really good oxblood.
Red is such an important color, it needs subtlety and depth. So think of doing a glaze or lacquer paint. Here are just a few favorites shades…
Benjamin Moore
Moroccan Red is strong and dramatic.
Redstone Red is traditional and elegant.
Ruby Red 1001-10 is as close as you can get to Coco Chanel red lacquer nail polish. Try it on the floor for great fun!
Salsa 2009-20 is a true orange red. This color makes you look great.
Tucson Red 1300 is an earthy, brick red. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright loved brick red.
Million Dollar Red 2003-10 is the perfect dramatic red. A little goes a long way.
Sangria 2006-20 is an neutral red – not too blue, not too orange, not too dark.
Chili Pepper 2004-20 reminds me of a deep coral. A cheerful red.
Red 2000-10 is a good match for the Diana Vreeland's "Garden in Hell" room designed by Billy Baldwin. There's no exact color given, but this paint is pretty spot on.
Ralph Lauren
Relay Red 1B11 is a great pomegrante red.
Paprika #13 by Portola Paint has a strie effect. Obvious brush strokes appear after the paint dries which adds texture to a drab room. This color makes food look great and people look great. Has pizzazz.
Pagoda Red 515 is a safe red ifyou arenot feeling daring yet. It's nottoo orange, not too blue. Looks like antique red, Pompeian red. Almost everything looks good with it.
Lattice Red 1B57 by Ralph Lauren. Real red that never goes out of style. Always fresh.
Dessage Red TH41 by Ralph Lauren. Another true red, just like the American flag.
Other Brands
DKC-17 from the Donald Kaufman color collection is more of an Etruscan red.
Vintage Claret from Pratt & Lambert is exciting, interesting and unexpected.
You may be skeptical of the idea of a red room. So I suggest to try red walls in an entryway – a space dont' spend a lot of time in but travel through often – or red accents rather than a full red painted wall. A red china cabinet shows that a small dose of red makes a big impact. Paint the back interior of a cupboard or cina cabinet and place white or contrasting color china in front of it for a bold look. But beware: once you try it and live with a red space in your home, you'll love it.

It feels like an impossible thing to do, because along the way, games are wonderful for a huge number of reasons. Sometimes it's simply that it's an important one or that it's one that I got to go to or one where the Giants just did really well. But one did keep standing out in my mind and saying, Pick me! Pick me! (Yes, baseball games do talk in my head. Not weird at all, right?)
So I've picked that one. It probably wasn't that important and dramatic in the scheme of things, but it's one that I'll never forget all the same. Let's flashback to it, July 2nd, 2011 at Tigers Stadium.
It's Giants vs. Tigers, Zito (2-1) vs. Max Scherzer (9-4). Detroit is 1.5 games out of first place and San Francisco is in first place, 3 round games ahead of Arizona. Yesterday, they beat the Tigers in heart attack fashion for the first game of the series by a final of 4-3, with Wilson throwing a world class tantrum after blowing the save.
So it began. The Giants scored five runs in the first inning on B-Craw and Panda homers and things moved along nicely from there, blowout style. But Michigan weather had other plans. A massive thunderstorm hit in the third, suddenly and with a stunning amount of rain. We all worried that game would not restart and all those runs would go to waste, but then the sky turned orange and I, for one, knew that boded well.
After nearly three hours, once all the fans had presumably gone home and gotten toasty with hot chocolate or whatever, the umps announced the game was back on. We all raised our eyebrows and un-muted our televisions.
And then the fun started.
The first pitch following the rain delay was hit grandly into the stands by Miguel Tejada for a grand freakin' slam.
Zito stayed in his zone by listening to lame rappers (hey, whatever works) and came back to pitch after all that time and gave the team six scoreless innings, over 80 pitches.
The runs party did not stop there and the game eventually ended at 12:36 local time with a final score of 15-3, Giants winning. It was one of those crazy games that just reaffirms your adoration of baseball and that the game will do what it will do. And, you know, I live for rain. So if my team can pull off 15 runs in the rain, that makes me love them a little more. If that's even possible.

Two prominent Japanese professors recently authored the Fukao-Kwon report, which revealed that from 1996-2006, when total employment in Japan decreased by 3.5 million, young, newly established firms and foreign companies were the only ones to create net job growth. This report also suggests that new companies have higher success rates than older, established companies in Japan and that entrepreneurs clearly need to be the central catalysts in Japan's next chapter. Have the great innovators of the post-war years – Toyota, Nippon Steel, Sony, etc – become so huge and successful that they have lost their propensity to create disruptive new technologies?
The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship brings to light various policies and initiatives to advance innovation and drive economic growth.

(UPDATED WITH VIDEO, March 27) LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. — Members of the Fresno-based California Grape & Tree Fruit League received some reassuring news during their 77th annual meeting March 25.
click image to zoomTom BurfieldRyan Zaninovich (from left), chairman of the California Grape & Tree Fruit League and manager at Vincent B. Zaninovich & Sons Inc., talks with Harold McClarty, owner of HMC Farms and league second vice chair, and chairman Barry Bedwell during the league's annual meeting March 25 in Laguna Beach, Calif. "This league is as healthy financially as it has ever been," said secretary-treasurer Louis Pandol, corporate secretary and chairman of the Board of Pandol Bros. Inc., Delano.
The state's table grape industry moved more than 100 million boxes of grapes for the first time last year and at higher f.o.b. levels, said president Barry Bedwell.
About 240 people attended the gathering at the Montage Laguna Beach resort.
A workshop before the meeting featured five industry experts commenting on the topic "What Keeps You Awake at Night?"
Brian Leahy, director of the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, said that although agriculture usually comes to mind when talk turns to excessive pesticide use, consumers and non professionals "have really done a lot of damage."
Still, pesticide education "has made remarkable changes for the better."
Richard Schmidt, president and chief executive officer of the United Agribusiness League, told members that agriculture employers could be hard hit by the Affordable Care Act, which, he said, "is anything but affordable."
He encouraged members to attend seminars and learn more about the legislation, which he said will have a "dramatic impact on the economy."
Sylvia Torres-Guillen assured members that her goal as general counsel of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board is to "achieve peace and justice" through collaboration.
"We really need to understand each other," she said.
Charlie Hoppin, outgoing chairman of California's State Water Resources Control Board — and the first grower to serve on that board — said nitrate seeping into groundwater in parts of California's Central Valley is one of the biggest issues on the water-quality front.
All parties must work together to ensure quality drinking water in the state, he said.
Panel moderator George Soares, founding member and managing partner of Kahn, Soares & Conway LLP, Sacramento, said agriculture is "trying to make a difference."
"We are aggressively engaged" in establishing relationships with government entities and making the industry's voice heard in Sacramento, he said.
Chairman Ryan Zaninovich, manager at Vincent B. Zaninovich & Sons Inc., Delano, said the league accomplished a lot over the past year, including:

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Do you have any advice for a student transferring into SXU?
Get involved. It is never too late to become a part of Cougar Nation. The more you do, the more you will get out of your time here and the opportunities that result in the future. Joining groups, attending events and interacting with others will make your experience so much better.
What was the best class you took at Saint Xavier and why?
The best class I took at SXU was EDUGC 546: Internship, School Counseling. This class required me to work in a school as a guidance counselor. The real life events I encountered were far more helpful and memorable than anything I could have read in my books. I enjoyed being in the field and gaining experiential knowledge while having the opportunity to discuss it all with a professor, working professionals and fellow students.
What do you do for fun?
I love being active and trying new things. Whether it's an adventure, food or travel I am always looking to expand my horizons. I work out regularly and play softball with friends every summer. This past year I tried skydiving and ziplining.
What is one thing you want all students to know about Saint Xavier?
SXU is very special in that it provides students with a 'best of both worlds' college experience. Saint Xavier is housed in a tight-knit neighborhood but close to downtown Chicago, has small classes while providing big opportunities and maintains a diverse student body with unity and values. Being a student here allows for an unmatchable education.
Do you have a favorite spot to go on campus?
My favorite spot to go on campus is the Smith-Morris Quad, located behind the Warde Academic Center. Its central location, beautiful scenery and exceptional setup make it the perfect spot to study, snack and relax outside.

We haven't reviewed many Brown Cow Yogurt products (yet) here on Iateapie.net, so when I saw the Brown Cow All Natural Vanilla Greek Yogurt, I decided to give it a go in lieu of the usual Fage or Chobani. The Brown Cow website says, "our authentic straining process removes the liquid (whey) from the yogurt to create a stick-to-your-spoon thick and rich Greek treat with about twice the protein of other yogurts and less lactose."
Personally, I found the taste to be kind of ... blah. Maybe I'm used to sweeter yogurts (or ones where I sweeten them to my own tastes), but the vanilla flavor was really subtle and the sweetness was underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, this is a big step up from the taste of plain Greek yogurt, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I think I'll stick with the plain yogurt and dress it up in my own ways (using Splenda, honey or jelly).
A 5.3 ounce serving of Brown Cow All Natural Vanilla Greek Yogurt provides 110 calories, no fat, 12 grams of sugar and 14 grams of protein. This protein-rich yogurt is sweetened with evaporated cane juice.
I picked up a container for $1.59, but the flavor just wasn't a standout, so I don't think I'll be buying this again.

About Str8upChevy's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
Started in 1975 when my brother-in-law picked me up from school in his 1969 Camaro RS/Z28 with a 4spd and a 4.11 posi. That ride home changed my life and created a passion that has included 4 Chevelles, 3 Novas, 3 Corvettes, and 12 Camaros over those last 35 years!
I guess it goes without saying: "I'm A Diehard Chevy Man"!!
My first car
White 1966 Chevelle ~ Built 350/TH350, 3500 Stall Converter, 12 Bolt Posi w/4.11's, Ladder Bar Setup, Centerline Auto Drags! It was my Uncle's Steet/Strip car until he bought a Pro-Mod '66 Vette. I bought the Chevelle from him in 1982 when I was a Junior in High School.
Car I wish I still had
My Black 1967 Nova Super Sport It was restored up in Canada by a guy who spent 4 years on it and over 22K for the total rebuild. It was in showroom condition and had a high gloss finish that was as smooth as glass. I can only imagine what it would be worth today. Also, either one of the three 67 Camaros would work too!
My dream car
1967 RS/SS Pro/Street Camaro with a 572ci solid roller BBC topped with an 8-71 Blower. Tubbed w/a narrowed 9" rearend, a 4 link suspension with coil over's. Built TH400 with an 8.5" 4500 Stall Converter. The body channeled about 4" over the frame and a 12 point cage. High gloss Black with HOC Candy Tangerine Flames, purple tips and blue pin-striping. A full 4" Flowmaster Exhaust System. I'd say by the time I hit 50 I'll have it sitting in my garage. (That gives me 10 years)
Car clubs I'm in
Local Car Clubs include: "Camaro Cruzers" & "Pacific Northwest Camaro Club" - Maple Valley Street Rats, Southern Oregon Corvette Association, Southern Oregon Outlaws.
Online Clubs include: Z28.com, ProjectCamaro.com, CamaroCruzers.cjb.net, PNWCC.com, GMThunder.com

I am in the market for RV-ish vehicle: a small camper I can sleep in and live on the road, but not a full-fledged RV. asked Nov 26 '12 at 16:27 Kevin Kelly |
If all you want is a place to sleep, any pickup with a camper shell, or a van or minivan or wagon will suffice. But that's obvious, so by your question I'm assuming you want a bit more than that. My suggestion is that you take a look at the RVs that are built on Sprinter bodies. The Sprinter is a Dodge/Mercedes van that can be used as a cargo van or modified to be a camper van. It's 22 feet long and you can park it in a standard parking space. (It's the size of a full-size truck, e.g. a F/250 crew cab truck.) The Diesel engine model will get you 20-24 MPG in the real world. My dad lived in one full-time for 3 years as he traveled all over the US. It's cramped for full-time living, but it does have everything you need, a tiny bathroom, a tiny sink, a tiny stove, a dorm-size fridge, and a queen size bed. linkanswered Nov 26 '12 at 22:14 jcdill |

The most versatile RV is a truck camper and is not a vehicle at all. If you currently have a pickup truck you are already halfway there. In addition to providing compact, comfortable accommodations on the road or about town, it can be easily removed from the truck and become a fully functional cabin at the site of your choice. Unlike vans and motorhomes, each part of the combination can be upgraded or replaced separately and in most states the camper is considered cargo and does not require registration. Sizes and styles are available from small pop ups and hardsides for one or two people to palatial units with multiple slideouts for a family. For the larger truck campers you will need a truck with considerable load capacity but the smaller units are made to work with full sized half tons and smaller trucks. Good deals can be had in the used market and if you are at all handy, a well selected fixer-upper can be a good value. For a wealth of one stop information visit truckcampermagazine.com. linkanswered Nov 28 '12 at 08:00 larrybluhm |
We bought a conversion van by GTRV which has been great. It's a Dodge mini-van which has a pop top added like the VW westfalias. The interior has been renovated with a fridge, stove, mini sink, and even a furnace. The rear seat folds down into a bed and the pop top has a bed as well. It's very discreet. Ours is a 1997 with 200,000 miles and its still going strong, getting about 21-22 MPG. We drove across the country and back last summer with no issues. The company does conversions like this to a couple of models of minivans and full size vans as well. I suggest you take a look at these. linkanswered Nov 29 '12 at 07:49 Topher |
You should look at a Silver Shadow or other models made by Little Guy. We had a large trailer (25 x 20) and sold it to go with this. The positives are that it's basically a well-insulated tent on wheels that can be pulled by almost any vehicle. It has a queen-size bed. Adequate storage inside. The only accessories we have are five gallons of water and a two burner stove. Many people think they want an indoor toilet / shower and a heater. We typically camp is National Forest campgrounds, which have nice toilets. We don't understand why people want to carry a toilet with them. The camper is well-insulated — body heat keeps us warm enough. Our sleeping bag is rated to 45 degrees. We've camped in 40 degree temperature. It rarely gets to 50 inside and if it does, we're in our sleeping bags. It has a tongue weight under 100 pounds and GVW under 1000 pounds. It costs about $7500 new. linkanswered Nov 26 '12 at 17:32 jwmci |
A slide-in camper is the best all-round option inmy opinion. This is especially true if you plan to go off-road and camp in the woods/desert. The lightweight aluminum framed rigs are built for 4x4 use. answered Nov 26 '12 at 19:03 |

I like the Toyota motor homes, they haven't been made since around the mid 80's but they are equipped with bullet proof Toyota engines and come in different configurations. I particularly like the Sunrader which is a fiberglass body and approx 20 ft. long. They come equipped with bathroom, shower, kitchen, air conditioner and also a walk thru from the cab to the back. The gas mileage seems to average at around 14-19 mpg. Keep in mind that these are a lot of systems to maintain but occasionally a Toyota with less than 50,000 miles shows up for sale as they are seldom used. linkanswered Nov 27 '12 at 08:39 |

Sheer Waisted Bandage Dress
Cheap , not bandage quality
Dress is somewhat cheap looking and not as good of quality of a bandage dress as my other bebe bandage dresses I own. It is not structured enough and bigger than expected. Also the material is glittery whcih I could nto tell from onlien description. Overall it is ok, but not worth what I spent.

This dress is so pretty. I got an XS It fits like a glove everywhere cept for my shoulders. It's a bit big there the, I'm gonna have to bring it to a tailor to make it smaller around that area. Everywhere else it fits me perfectly !

tried this dress on in a medium a couple weeks ago and fell absolutely in love! so yesterday i got up the courage to buy it because ive recently lost 40 lbs! low and behold they didnt have a medium, so i grabbed a small and decided to try it anyway. it looked even better, i had to triple check the tag to make sure i was seeing this correctly! love how this fits, the fabric is thick and great quality! i cant wait to wear it for New years!
