This is by far my favorite blush. It gives a beautiful glow that makes you look fresh and bright. Plus, the shimmer in this blush is extremely fine and not just chunks of glitter. I don't care much for the brush, I just use my ecotools powder brush!

Meil glace is one of my favorite blushes. It's a beautiful light nude blush with some fine shimmer that creates a glow. I find this much more flattering than a bronzer on me, and similar in use. Color is a nude peachy pink beige. I was using NARS Madly for this look but Madly was just too orange on me (if you have a darker skintone and MG doesn't show up try Madly!). If you like Meil Glace, you also may like Benefit Dandelion which is less beige and more peachy, but similar to the Meil Glace. For me, these light blushes just look more natural. There is a slight scent but it goes away.

this is my HG blush, even though its super expensive. its totally worth it! it gives me a natural flush with a little shimmer. i have to be light handed though, it else I end up looking like a doll. i highly recommend this blush!
I have medium skin & thought that this blush would be too light for me but it turned out pretty nice. It gave me a light glow and looks very natural. it's too sparkly & too tense of a color so it's a perfect choice for the office but prob not dramatic enough for night time. Another bonus, it's lasts all day.

Early review, but this may be a HG for me. NW15 (pale and slightly cool), and with on and off rosacea of the 'flushing' variety, so I've always avoided blush entirely--you start to really hate 'pink' in your cheeks and do anything to avoid it. However, lately I've been really getting into makeup and have learned how to apply my foundation really well to cover the unevenness from rosacea...which means I end up with not enough color and looking a bit ashen.
So I've been trying to find a blush that will work for me. Most things I have tried have been too pigmented or too sparkly for my taste (cream blushes, UD 'afterglow' blushes, the usual NARS suspects, etc), but I saw Miel Glace in the store and fell in love. It gives just the hint of color I am looking for and I don't have to worry about over-applying it with my inexperienced hand. Like other Lancome products it is lightly scented, but this does not bother me (I like the scent). It is expensive but a good amount of product. The small brush included seems useless and I'm not sure they should bother with it, honestly.
If you are just beginning with blush or are very pale and worried about looking like a clown, this is an excellent place to start.

On my pale coloring (NW10) Miel Glace looks more brown with a hint of rose and looks more bronzer than blush on me ...... but let me add, that I really love this ....... I do have to be careful to apply just a bit, so I use my skunk brush and apply to my cheekbones and it really defines the lines ...... I recommend this to other PPPs as myself..

This has been my main blush for years! I always seem to come back to it.
On me, it is a nice, subtle, neutral pinkish-beige. It is very natural looking and gives a healthy glow to my face. It is not sparkly, does not emphasize pores, and has not broken me out - which is shocking to me, as it is fairly fragranced. Oh, and it is oil free (according to Lancome), which is a definite bonus!
This is a sheer blush and it is quite buildable. IMO, it is really hard to overdo it with this blush. It looks much darker in the compact then it really is.
My only complaint is the fragrance. I really wish Lancome would make their makeup scent-free, as I cannot stand the smell. I am actually on the hunt for a similar blush right now, as I am finding the scent is too much for me now. I will keep repurchasing this until I find a good dupe, as I love this shade.
I like the compact, but always toss the little junky brush. It takes me quite a long time to go though it, so it is well worth the $ to me.

This is an absolutely stunning blush for everyday wear. It gives a very nice pinky glow to the cheeks without looking gaudy. I was a little hesitant at first while trying it in the department store's terrible lights that I wouldnt like it and that I'd probably not want to keep it, but boy was I surprised when I got home and tried it out!! Its a difficult color to describe, all I can say is just go to your closest Lancome counter and give it a test. I will defiantly buy it again.
Ok, so basically I picked this up because I wanted to get a really cute Lancome GWP my counter was offeriing. I had read reviews here on how gorgeous this was and the price was exactly what I needed to score the gift. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised when I applied this and saw what a beautiful natural glow it gave to my cheeks. This looks ho-hum in the pan, but make your cheeks wonderfully glowy in a "hey, this is how I wake up every day of my life" kind of way. A fairly generous amount of product for $29.50 USD. Definitely a good "standard" blush to have in your stash, I have seen this blush word on a variety of skin tones, from very pale to tawny, it seems to just make compliment each one.

This is no. 23 in the "Blush Subtil Shimmer" range.
Just adding my "oooh" to all the "aaahs" here. Truly wondrous on the very pale of skin, very lightly freckled, and red-haired. My trusty Clinique Aglow let me down - turned orange on me - and I can't wear second favourite, Aveda Apricot Glow, for more than a few hours without some irritation starting up. So I turned to the good people of MUA for help in finding a new everyday YBB blusher.
Miel Glacé looks quietly beige in the pan, applies like a dream, and looks like a hint of natural colour once on the face: a delicate pink-beige-peach. Less of the peachy-orange and brownish-mud than in many blushers that are half-way to a bronzer (ex. Clinique Aglow before it turned on me). Light, slightly glimmery, but no discernible glitter and certainly none of those glittery sparkly bits. Very slight pleasant rose scent - if you stick your nose close to the pan.
As I've always found with Lancôme so far, zero reactions (and my skin tends to be sensitive). Contains neither talc nor bismuth oxychloride (ci 77163).
100% recommended for the similarly-complexioned: pale blue, cool- to neutral-toned, with the warming elements of slight freckling and red hair. It is a very close second to my current favourite blusher, Clinique Iced Lotus: pale cool pink; easier to apply perfectly fast than the Miel. That's really my slight peeve: the Clinique Blushing Blushes some with a very good brush, the Lancôme brush included is not very good, and it takes quite a lot of finicky swirling and blending and so on to get it on right. My best solution was to use the brush from an old Clinique Aglow. Still working on it, and so the Iced Lotus remains my favourite for sheer ease and speed of application - a no-brainer for mornings before work, when one has no brain - while the Miel is for when I have a little more time for makeup.
Part of the current North American Lancôme range; no longer available in Europe, but it does turn up on eBay fairly regularly. I happened to get one here in Dublin as some pharmacies have been getting rid of their old stock and Christmas gift specials; after hunting in a couple of places, I struck gold, and at 50% off. Well worth hunting down. Lancôme blushers tend to be about EUR 33 to 35 here, for a good-sized 6 g. Nice and solid packaging.
Delighted to see that the company's animal testing policy has been changing progressively over the last few years, some of the products no longer being tested at all at present, and with a view to the new EU legislation coming in.

I don't know too much about webcams; however, the one in my eeepc works flawlessly with skype, so you may want to find one based off of the same technology. I've used a few of the cheap ones from the box stores in the past with results about like you've posted, though.

Yesterday, Tiger Woods teed off in his first golf tournament in months, the Masters, and did pretty darn well—four under par. [Huh? -- Editor Amelia] But that's not what you want to hear about? You want to hear about the drama. A day before the tournament began, another woman stepped forward and said that she had sex with Tiger. Raychel Coudriet is 22 now, but was a teenager when Tiger was her neighbor and allegedly seduced her and they had unprotected sex on his couch, near a crib. "I felt used and violated, like I meant nothing to him but a night of casual sex," Coudriet allegedly told a friend. "I just wanted to dig a big hole, crawl in and die." Keep reading »

APPROVED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 13, 2003 (per 12/23/02 Admin Notes)
Virtually all functions of the library rely upon microcomputer technology. In addition to the Hawaii Voyager server equipment, as of Spring 2002 the Library utilizes 9 servers, almost 500 microcomputers, more than 135 printers, of which over 30 are networked, approximately 100 barcode readers, and 8 debit printing paystations. This document contains information about the procedures associated with selection and purchase of microcomputer-related hardware and software, an explanation of Desktop Network Services role and support responsibilities and a sample microcomputer-related purchase request form that may be used by staff.
The Library endeavors, insofar as finances permit, to support staff requests for purchase of software or hardware which enhance library services and operations, staff productivity, research or projects. Determination of source(s) and amount of funding (other than grant-funded projects) for purchase of microcomputer-related equipment is the domain of Library Administration (i.e. University Librarian in conjunction with the Fiscal Officer and the Administrative group). Each fiscal year (FY) the Fiscal Officer designates an approximate amount to the Desktop Network Services (DNS) fund number to be used for all non-grant-funded microcomputer and network-related purchases.
Requests for purchase may be generated either at the department level (e.g. through a solicitation of lists of "departmental needs" by a Division Head) or by an individual staff member transmitting a request to their department head. Requests may support either departmental or shared computing needs or individual library-related research or projects. Requests for items which are compatible with existing Library hardware and software are strongly encouraged. Evaluation of the merits of a request is made by the Division Head after consultation (if needed) with the requestor, technical experts in DNS, and the Fiscal Officer. Requests are approved by DNS (category 1 below) or the Division Heads (category 2). Final approval for acquisition of microcomputer hardware and/or software purchased with Library funds is made by the Fiscal Officer based on availability of funds (purchase orders are officially signed by the University Librarian). If the request is approved at all the appropriate levels (Department, Division, Fiscal), DNS will obtain official price quotes and create and send purchase request memos to the Fiscal Department utilizing information from the requestor(s) and vendor(s) following UH and State purchasing procedures. See Fiscal Procedure For Quotes/Bids and Decision Making Flow For Staff Microcomputer Requests below.
Each department may designate a liaison to coordinate the microcomputer-related priorities and requests of the unit. If a microcomputer liaison is not identified, DNS will work with the Department Head and/or other departmental staff on a case-by-case basis. Requestors should consult with DNS firstname.lastname@example.com on technical issues, compatibility, support requirements and possible alternatives before preparing purchase request proposals. Requests may be initiated using the purchase request form (see attached) or a memo. As much supporting information as possible (product name, version, platform [Windows or Mac], company, address, phone number, URL) and the purpose, intended use and a brief justification of the requested items should be supplied. If the item requested is a component or peripheral, information about the computer in which the hardware is to be incorporated or to which the peripheral is to be connected, should also be supplied. If the item requested is software, information about the computer on which it is to be installed (including whether a previous version already exists) should be included in the request. Requestors should contact DNS for assistance or if they have a particular goal or project for which they wish DNS to perform research or investigate suitable hardware and/or software options. An account number should be provided if the request is to be funded by a grant or other special funding.
Requests for purchases routed to the Fiscal Office must follow the approved State and University procedures. There are 4 categories of purchase requests based upon total purchase costs. Usually the product or service must be purchased from the lowest bidding vendor or an approved state price list. If there is no local (i.e. Hawaii-based) vendor, a justification for not buying the product locally may be required.
1) Micros or peripheral hardware which cost less than $100-$250; Single copies of standard software*
a) DeptHead/Micro Liaison/Staff contacts DNS for preliminary consultation
DeptHead/Micro Liaison/Staff sends request to DNS
i) DNS consults with requestor if needed, obtains or verifies price quotation
1) DNS submits P.O. request to Fiscal, purchase is made from funds allocated to DNS budget as assigned by Library Administration at the start of each fiscal year
2)Micros or peripheral hardware which costs more than $100-$250;
Multiple copies of standard software*
Single copies of non-standard software; site licenses; networked or
server-based applications
Unique, unusual, very expensive, potentially incompatible or insecure
hardware or software
a) Dept Head/Micro Liaison/Staff contacts DNS for preliminary consultation then Dept Head sends request to Division Head
DeptHead sends request to Division Head
i) Division Head refers request to DNS with recommendation
seeks further information from requestor and/or DeptHead
seeks further information from DNS
(1) DNS consults with requestor if needed, determines specifications and compatibility, obtains or verifies price quotation
(a) DNS reports back to Division Head
(i) Division Head returns request to DNS with recommendation
1. DNS obtains or verifies price quotations if recommendation is positive
a. DNS submits P.O. request to Fiscal, purchase is made from funds allocated to DNS budget as assigned by Library Admin. at the start of each fiscal year.
Dollar Amount | Number and Type of Quotations Solicited |
0 - $2,499.99 | No minimum number of quotations required. Library prefers at least 2 where possible; written/printed price information should be obtained from vendor submitting lowest verbal quotation |
$2,500 - $14,999.99 | 3 or more verbal quotations (or be listed on approved UH/State Price Lists); written quotation should be obtained from vendor submitting lowest verbal quotation |
$15,000 - $24,999.99 | 3 or more written quotations (or be listed on approved UH/State Price Lists). The Fiscal Office will submit the written request for quotes to vendors on an official University of Hawaii Request for Quotation form. The final request amount(s) will be determined based upon the quoted price(s). As a rule, the purchase must be made from the lowest bidder who can supply the item(s) which match or exceed the specifications listed on the Request for Quotation. |
$25,000 or more | Formally advertised procurement (Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals), or Sole Source purchase. The Fiscal Office prepares the official paperwork based upon data supplied by DNS after consultation with the requestor, if appropriate. |
The Library Information Technology Division was created in 1995, and the Desktop Network Services (DNS) unit officially established in January 1996. The department was formed by reassigning two APT electronic technician positions from the Systems Department and a librarian from the Public Services Division. The new unit was created to focus on supporting networking and desktop computing needs of library users and staff. The department performs its work within the framework of the mission and strategic goals of the Library Information Technology Division (http://libweb.hawaii.edu/uhmlib/staffonly/lit_goals2001.html). DNS is responsible for
DNS performs the first diagnostic pass on malfunctioning public and departmental microcomputer equipment after receiving requests for assistance of problem reports via email or phone call. After diagnosis, DNS recommends a possible course of action, and when necessary arranges for warranty service, repair or replacement. Repairs or replacements which incur additional costs are coordinated with the Fiscal Office.
DNS performs consultation, purchase and installation of software. First level troubleshooting of software problems may be performed by DNS, or the department, as appropriate. DNS stores master copies of software, purchase documentation including warranty/upgrade information and tracks license compliance. DNS provides very basic instruction in use of standard programs such as internet browsers, MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
Major functions performed by DNS:
* Per the Interim Division Head for Library Information Technology, June 1999, the standard software supported by DNS is:
Since 1999, DNS has regularly purchased and/or installed:
** Sinclair works directly with ITS and UH Telecomm to add, change, delete datajack and phone lines. DNS consults with ITS and Sinclair as appropriate to support staff and public PCs, networked staff printers and Goprint paystations.

Cat Ommanney, author and Bravo TV's Real Housewives of DC reality star, is just getting started. After being on the reality show and writing her first book about her life before the show, she brought friends and fans a sequel. Her book launch in New York City,The Gift-Inbox Full Part II, attracted many "Bravolebrities"and rave reviews.
The Gift-Inbox Full Part II follows Ommanney in her journey from a crumbling marriage to fighting off with tenacity all the obstacles that stood in her way while pursuing her dreams. Ommanney's no nonsense voice showed us inInbox Full the true story of where choices can lead us while sharing her true life experience in both deeply heartfelt moments and exhilarating escapades. Now, this highly anticipated sequel shows us that anything is possible when you never give up.
"After all the mountains climbed without surrendering to reach my dreams, it had finally paid off. I found him, and he, too, had found us. We had made it! We had pulled it off, against all odds."
This is the journey to a newfound reserve of strength-an extraordinary story about celebrity and fame, love and betrayal, reality and perception, all told with Cat Ommanney's trademark honesty and humor-No bollocks!
The launch party was held at Bobby Vans "The Vault Grill" in Manhattan where Sonja Morgan, Michael Lorber, Dina Manzo, Kathy and Richard Wakile and Mary Amons, among others, stopped by to celebrate.
Known for her no-nonsence approach, there is more to look forward to with Cat. She currently lives in Spain, is the mother of two daughters and is expecting a bundle of joy this month.

I was more impressed by the Journey than I expected to be. It's smooth and quiet, and the powertrain is refined; the six-speed automatic works pretty well with the V-6.
The vehicle is also a nice size, especially compared with the old truck-based Durango. The third-row seats, though, are torture chambers suitable only for pre-teens for the run to school, not for family vacations.

Trademarking Generic Domain Names Just Got Harder
Court rules Hotels.com can't be trademarked.
A federal appeals court has ruled against Hotels.com in its bid to trademark its name. The court ruled that "Hotels" is generic and descriptive of its business.
Here's what it means for domain name owners:
1. Generic domain names are harder to trademark and thus harder to protect. For example, Candy.com would likely not be able to get a trademark. However, the use of a generic term not related to the principle product on the web site (e.g. Amazon.com) can still be trademarked.
2. It may be harder for Hotels.com and other generic domain owners to win under anti-cybersquatting and UDRP for typos, although UDRP panels are fairly liberal about assuming common law trademarks even when a federal government has rejected a trademark application.
3. Filing a trademark for one your domain names as a preemptive measure may become more difficult.
MediaPost points out that it would be easier for other companies to bid on Google Adwords for your domain name, too.
It's important to stress that the problem here is that Hotels.com is all about hotels, meaning Hotels.com was merely descriptive. This doesn't mean that other domain names can't be trademarked.

Why do you say, "it just got harder"?
Case law?
There is an upside to generic domains not being able to be trademarked. Those with trademarks have even less probability of being able to lay claim to (steal) a generic in another extension under this same Hotels.com ruling.
For example, Apartments.com could not use trademark law to take away Apartments.US or Apartments.biz from their owners, and vice versa.
Hallelujah!! Finally some common sense. I say get rid of urdp and the proposed urs and let common sense prevail for generic domain owners. It's awesome to see this decision, imho.
Best. -
Best news I heared for the littel guys wipo is making a living snatching domain names from their wrightful owners giving them to the rich and powerful using 100 or so panalist who makes in access of $100,000 a year using the same argument the only thing changes in the decision is the Domain name.
Now watch……the dissenting panelist won't get any more cases since he judged against the complainant.
It would seem like they accidentally found someone to make qualified decisions. I'm sure this ruling does not sit well with many interests…..mainly in Dallas, Texas!!!
Get it? If not, you will soon….it's unraveling really fast.
It is a very sensible ruling. One of the fundamentals of Trademark Law is not to give a single entity advantage over all others by allowing descriptive generic terms that do not distinguish the goods and services from all others.
For exactly the same reason ICANN should not be allowing generic top level domains like .hotel. Because if new gTLDs are deemed to have competitive advantage they will in effect be awarding a small number of economically advantaged individuals and corporations private monopolies in perpetuity.
@gpmgroup – "awarding a small number of economically advantaged individuals and corporations private monopolies in perpetuity."
Certainly a valid point you make. I believe ICANN are so looking forward to profiting $185,000 per domain application that they would let any valid problem, principle, or potential damage to others interfere with their goal. It's about financially compensating themselves under the pretense of bringing more "innovation" to the internet.
If ICANN were genuinely concerned with avoiding damaging outcomes, they would …
1. simply suspend any projected timeline for new tld release until all the anticipated problems are fully resolved, and
2. Stagger the release of tld's a few per year to allow for adequate market testing and assimilation.
It's impossibe to argue against this logic when one considers that new tld's are optional anyway, and will unquestionably pose damaging trademark consequences to companies while also introducing multiple & confusing domain name redundancies into the internet domain name system negatively affecting consumer confidence.
ICANN want to auction off every word in the dictionary for $185,000 each & they want to do it as quickly as possible. It's just that simple.
>> ICANN want to auction off every word in the dictionary
The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use.
171,476 * $185,000 = $31,723,060,000
Doesn't even make a dent in the TARP.
@M. Menius
I have a little more faith in ICANN. Like many organizations it has a lot of good people looking to do the right thing. There are a handful people that have perhaps had too much undue influence over the new gTLD plans and have perhaps allowed their commercial interests to cloud their judgment in their input into the new gTLD process but on the whole I think ICANN is a good organization looking to do the right thing.
As the new gTLD process progresses I think the people at ICANN will begin to see just how much damage it will do if it is allowed to be rolled out as is (influenced by a handful of vested interests). The .xxx fiasco will look like a walk in the park compared the GNSO's current plans for new gTLDs.
Generic gTLDs like .hotels are an absolute minefield for ICANN. If one of the big players such as Intercontinental, Wyndham or Best Western etc. acquire the IP rights to .hotels (or the company which is awarded .hotels), they have sufficient market presence to use it to brand in all the major cities as each have over 4000 hotels. That's London.hotels , Paris.hotels, NewYork.hotels once their competitors realize what they have been granted they are not going to be very happy, in much the same way as if their competitors had been granted Generic Trademarks IP rights in hotels.com
Thank god for this ruling. Of course there can only be one Hotels.com. This is not why they've spent large volumes of money. They have spent the money for one reason…so they could go after anyone and everyone with the hotel or hotels in or as part of their domain with udrp disputes and trademark infringement claims. Anyone who believes otherwise is on something very strong. I am someone who knows. I am the owner of a generic .net and my direct competitor in the same business who owns the corresponding.com which ranks #1 in google throughout all searches related to the industry has hired a lawyer to try to find a way to go after me. Again thank god for the hotels.com ruling. This company now knows they have no trademark case. They have tried to have phony customers call me to see if I would pass myself off as them to no avail and they still persist with even more nefarious schemes as prescibed by their hired guns. Why do they do this you ask? Because millions of dollars of venture capital is on the line if this company can create an online brand out of the generic term. All I want is to do business on the generic domain I rightlfully own. I have a branded corporation as well but the benefits to having both a brand with generics is enormous eg. Campbells Soup owning soups.com. Anyone who thinks that Hotels.com should receive a trademark is not living in the real world as this was nothing but a not so inconsipcuous attempt to eradicate competition and gain market share. Fortunately the courts saw right through this and pulled the curtains closed on them and the rug out from under them.

Click here for Bring The Fresh
This is my Bring The Fresh Review. If you're looking for the official Bring The Fresh site, click the link below:
Bring The Fresh – Official Site
At the last conference I attended, I met a pretty interesting guy named Kelly Felix. I had seen a few folks do interviews with him, and had heard about his product, but hadn't really known what it was all about.
I've gotta admit, I was pleasantly surprised when he told me that he was basically teaching SEO! Definitely not what the name Bring The Fresh implies :0)
After talking to him for a while, it was pretty clear that he loved his members and the idea of teaching SEO, which is often hard to find. A lot of product owners create something, sell a bunch of copies, and let it hang out.
Not Kelly. Kelly is doing this stuff for a living, keeping up with all the changes in SEO, and updating his members accordingly! I like that.
Before I get too much more off track, let's start the Bring The Fresh Review!
Bring The Fresh Review – What Is It?
Bring The Fresh is all about one thing, search engine optimization. In other words, what you can do to get your site (and your client's sites) ranked well.
He teaches a lot of different stuff in Bring The Fresh, including article marketing, social bookmarking, on page optimization… Tons and tons of stuff.
Most of his tutorials are on how to buy a new domain name or website and increase the rankings immediately. He does a lot with product name keyword websites and something pretty cool called 'Launchjacking' which is an affiliate marketers dream system…
What launchjacking is is when a guru does a launch, you get ranked for that product name before anyone else! Eventually, you'll get knocked out of the first place, but if you funnel enough people into the autoresponder, you'll make big commissions!
(That's a strategy I particularly like!)
There's lots of stuff like that in Bring The Fresh…
Bring The Fresh Review – What I Like
The biggest thing I like about Bring The Fresh is Kelly himself. He cares about the community he's built. He does his best to make sure they get everything they need to get ranked in the search engines quickly.
His methods are legitimate and straight up. There isn't any need for complicated software our outsourcing (although doing some outsourcing will increase the results…).
Most of all, he keeps his members updated and well taken care of! Which is a good thing! Not many product owners do that.
Bring The Fresh Review – What I Didn't Like
One thing that I don't really like about Bring The Fresh is the videos can get a little long. Generally when I create stuff, I like it to be done up in short snippets unless it's something in the launch funnel… That way I can reference it quickly because I know which video I watched it in.
That's not really a bad thing though, just a personal preference! There is so much how-to information embedded in the videos that they're a must watch.
> > Bring The Fresh Bonus <<
Bring The Fresh is an awesome course. The one thing that I wished it would do more with is getting clients.
Getting offline clients is an altogether different beast than working with Internet leads… It takes a certain finesse.
The bonus I want to offer is none other than Client Crusher, an offline marketing client-getting course that I put together. In it, you'll get:
- Over 3 hours of video walking you through everything from getting your first client to getting referrals and closing the big dog, $2,000/month clients
- The Client Crusher PDF which details 10 specific strategies for picking up clients in an 'introvert-friendly' way. No cold calling. No belly to belly sales. No weird sales pitch to people you barely know.
After all, I'm an introvert. I've had to learn this stuff on my own. There is no hard nosed pitching or any of that. Best yet, the client-getting techniques that are covered in Client Crusher are PERFECT for Bring The Fresh.
So, you get Client Crusher Advanced for free if you purchase Bring The Fresh through my link below:
Jest send your receipt to: firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll make sure to get you all set up with Client Crusher!
Bring The Fresh Review – Overall Thoughts
I really like Bring The Fresh as an SEO training product. It's updated all the time. It's got more than enough training and tutorials to get the job done. It has lots of advanced methods you can use to make money through your business website, your affiliate sites, or your products.
It's an excellent course and well worth the money!

I have lost my seed for a Giant Blue Squash/Pumpkin that looked a lot like a Dill Atlantic Giant except it was a grayish blue color and grew to be about 24" average but some would get to be 30"+ in size. They would be to large to haul in a large Wheelbarrow. I am interested in obtaining seed if any one has them available. Mike Fivekiller |

VENUE: Ford Center
The Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder were No. 8 seeds in last season's playoffs, where neither proved to be a pushover against their respective conference's top team.
Sneaking into the postseason isn't the goal this time.
An offseason of building around All-Star Derrick Rose has the Bulls looking like a Central Division contender heading into Wednesday night's opener in Oklahoma City, where the only significant change around scoring champion Kevin Durant is the Thunder's soaring expectations.
Oklahoma City (50-32) made an impressive jump from its first season after moving from Seattle, increasing its win total from 23 and securing the franchise's first playoff appearance since 2004-05.
That coincided with Durant's transition from young player on the rise to superstar. He averaged 30.1 points to win the scoring title, finished second behind LeBron James in the MVP voting and led his team to within a last-second tip-in of forcing a Game 7 against the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.
"I think we have confidence but we still know that last year is over with," said Durant, who announced via Twitter that he signed a five-year, $86 million extension July 7.
"We know that we had a good year, we made it to the playoffs, but this year we know that we've got to start back at square one. We've got to work hard every day to get better, continue to fight every day and work together as a team and continue to be one group."
Durant was held to 25.0 points per game and 35.0 percent shooting against the Lakers, but had an offseason to envy. He led the United States to its first gold medal at the world championships since 1994, winning tournament MVP honors after averaging 22.8 points.
Durant's Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook averaged 9.1 points during the tournament, and looks poised to build on a season in which he averaged 16.1 points and 8.0 assists in starting all 82 games.
Westbrook and small forward Jeff Green give Durant some excellent secondary threats, while general manager Sam Presti's quiet offseason saw him beef up his backcourt depth by adding Daequan Cook, Morris Peterson and Royal Ivey.
The Thunder added Kansas center Cole Aldrich in a draft-day trade as well, but Coach of the Year Scott Brooks knows his team's chances of making a leap in the Western Conference start and end with Durant.
"He really thinks of himself as a guy that just has to work extremely hard to make a team," Brooks said. "He has that mentality, and that's what champions are made of."
Joining Durant and Westbrook on the gold-medal team was Rose, who made a big leap last season by increasing his scoring average from 16.8 to 20.8.
For the second straight season, though, the Bulls (41-41) finished with as many losses as wins. After giving Boston a huge scare in the first round of the 2009 playoffs, they were competitive but only managed to take one game from top-seeded Cleveland despite Rose averaging 26.8 points.
Getting rid of oft-criticized coach Vinny Del Negro and hiring Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau was only the beginning of a busy offseason. Chicago didn't land James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh, but signed eight other free agents to overhaul the team around Rose and Joakim Noah, who signed an extension in early October.
The biggest addition was power forward Carlos Boozer, and the Bulls weren't done raiding Utah's roster. Chicago also signed Ronnie Brewer and Kyle Korver before rounding out its roster with guards C.J. Watson and Keith Bogans, forwards Brian Scalabrine, Kurt Thomas and Turkish center Omer Asik.
"It (is) exciting that the new players are good players," Rose said. "They're not selfish. They can definitely help my game. They're older than I am, so they know the NBA game better than me."
Thibodeau should help as well. The assistant was coach Doc Rivers' defensive guru in Boston, and having the disruptive Noah in the middle is a good place to start.
Rose will be joined by Bogans in the starting backcourt with Luol Deng at small forward, but Boozer won't be joining Noah in the frontcourt for a while. The two-time All-Star tripped over a bag and broke a bone in his right hand earlier this month, an injury that's expected to keep him out until December.
Taj Gibson, who averaged 9.0 points and 7.5 rebounds as a rookie, will start in his place.
"You hate to lose a guy like that, but it's also part of the NBA," Thibodeau said. "You have injuries, but we have good depth."
The teams split four meetings the past two seasons, with the road team winning each time. Rose averaged 25.5 points in the two victories at Oklahoma City.

You sound bummed out about the firends thing. Is there something in the air? Perhaps it's the heat? I've been feeling that way, myself, and I've bumped into half-a-dozen people on various blogs who have been feeling that way, too.I hope you feel better soon!
Here's a look back at my first ever YouTube video that I filmed at the NBA All-Star game two years ago.

Aggressive Behaviour
Sometimes people may react to their difficult feelings by being aggressive to people around them, whether they are friends, family, partners or strangers. Aggression can be either verbal or physical. Some people only behave aggressively in very particular situations, for instance after drinking alcohol or when they feel that they are not being taken seriously or when they are very upset and raw. Whatever causes the aggression and whatever form it takes it can cause a range of difficulties. These include physical risk to self or other people, police or other authority involvement, feelings of intimidation, feelings of loss of control, guilt and increased isolation.
At first, using aggressive behaviours can help us to feel that we are getting what we want and that we can control other people. However, gradually this behaviour may feel quite frightening and out of control, as we push people further away and feel more alone. It can feel particularly distressing to find that we are using aggression when we have been on the receiving end of aggressive behaviours ourselves, perhaps earlier in our lives through bullying or from adults who should have cared for us.
If you have difficulties with aggression some of the following may be helpful:
• Try to work out what triggers your aggression and, if possible, avoid these situations E.g. drinking alcohol, feeling misunderstood and not explaining yourself
• Learning to take time to think before reacting can help you to keep control of your behaviours. Try counting to ten in your head before doing anything or walking away for a minute or two. Use this time to stop and think about why you are so angry, what could happen if you act on your aggressive feelings and what you would prefer to see yourself doing
• Learning some simple relaxation techniques can also help you to manage your stress without lashing out. As well as total relaxation, simply taking some long deep breaths or clenching your body tight and then relaxing it are instant ways to lower the stress levels in difficult situations
• If particular feelings lead you to become aggressive, get support in dealing with these. For instance there might be good reason to feel angry and expressing these feelings in a safe and controlled way could be important. Learning to recognise and manage your feelings can help you to control aggression and feel better about yourself
• If you find that your feelings are too much for you to manage by yourself then talk to someone about them. You may try talking to a friend or family member or you may prefer to talk to someone separate from your everyday life such as a counsellor
• Anger management courses can help you to understand how you become angry and how to cope when aggressive feelings are spinning out of control. On a course like this you could learn to recognise what triggers aggression and how this can be changed by learning to be more assertive in telling others what you need or want without hurting them

These are some more photos taken by my good friend Gene Pease over at Geneoh Photography. I love having such talented friends! Go look at more of his work. He's amazing!!
What's my current fashion craving? The leather jacket! Lately, I just can't get enough of it. I love it's ability to really up the cool-factor on any outfit. Though it's not really my style to wear lots of black leather, I love adding a leather jacket to something feminine to really mix things up. Here, I've paired a black leather jacket with a colorful chiffon dress. In my book, a good mix of pretty & tough equals style perfection. When I don't know what to wear, what do I reach for? Jeans, a t-shirt or feminine top, and a leather jacket. Also, there's so many colors out there (especially this season) besides just black. I'm actually loving the wide selection of affordable faux leather jackets at Target right now. The colors range from black, cognac, brown, burgundy, mustard yellow, turquoise, etc. There's even a few featuring faux fur trim… fabulous! These colors are so great for fall and are so versatile! Check them out here. Any fellow leather jacket lovers out there?! What's your favorite way to style your leather jacket?

Flamborough, Ontario
Flamborough (sometimes both officially and informally spelled Flamboro) is a former town near, and a current community in, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For most of its existence before amalgamation with Hamilton in 2001, Flamborough comprised the former townships of East Flamborough, West Flamborough, and Beverly, as well as the Village of Waterdown. The largest suburban community is the former Village of Waterdown containing perhaps one third of its thirty thousand or so inhabitants. Other Flamborough communities include: Carlisle, Christie's Corners, Clappison's Corners, Copetown, Freelton, Greensville, Lynden, Kirkwall, Millgrove, Mountsberg, Orkney, Rockton, Troy, Sheffield, Valens, and Westover.
The area has a long history of human occupation. There is evidence in the immediate area of Paleo-Indian occupation. Later, the area was inhabited by the aboriginal people known variously as the Neutral or Attawandaron until they were annihilated by the Iroquois nations from what is now New York State. The first recorded visit to the area by Europeans was on September 24, 1669, when the French explorers La Salle and Joliet met near Tinawatawa, now Westover. When New France was conquered by the British in 1763, the territory became part of the British Empire.
After the American Revolution in 1783 and the creation of Upper Canada, land at the western end of Lake Ontario was surveyed and organized into townships, which included East Flamborough, West Flamborough and Beverly. Governor's Road (also known as Queen's Highway 99 and later Regional Roads 399 and 299) was built on the border with neighbouring Ancaster Township in 1794-95, linking York (later Toronto) and London.
The three townships and Village of Waterdown were founding constituents of Wentworth County in 1816. The Village of Waterdown was created in 1879 from that part of East Flamborough above the Niagara Escarpment and within approximately a kilometre of King's Highway No. 5 (Dundas Street). The Town of Dundas was created from parts of West Flamborough and Ancaster Townships.
Lionel Beaumaurice "Leo" Clarke was born near Waterdown in 1892, and his family left for Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1903. During the First World War, he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force and fought in France. On September 9, 1916, during the Battle of Somme, Corporal L.B. Clarke single-handedly repulsed a German attack. Unfortunately, he was killed in combat on October 19, 1916 before he could receive his Victoria Cross.
Flamborough Flag and Coat of Arms[edit]
On April 15, 2011, the Chief Herald of Canada (exercising the Royal Prerogative) granted arms, as well as a flag, to The Waterdown-East Flamborough Heritage Society that would reflect the historical Town of Flamborough. It is intended that these arms are to be used by the residents of Flamborough (including Beverly) to honour their history and identity. The arms and flag were presented to the community on April 29, 2011, by the Right Reverend Bishop Ralph Spence, Albion Herald Extraoridinary, at the Carlisle Golf & Country Club.[1]
The newsletter of The Waterdown East Flamborough Heritage Society explained in its April 2011 edition:
- Arms and flags have a long history in this country, and are important tools used to project identity. Often a community's flag and coat of arms are residents' only reminders of their area's rich history. It was with this idea in mind that a grant of arms committee was struck by the WEFHS in 2009.
- Comprised of [sic] members from every corner of the historic Flamborough-Beverly region, the committee worked closely with the Canadian Heraldic Authority (and in particular Dr. Forrest Pass, the Herald assigned to the file) to create a symbol that reflected our unique corner of the world, including both its human and natural aspects. After their first gathering in the Dart Room of the Royal Coachman, meetings were held in Rockton, Greensville, Waterdown, Carlisle, Clappisons Corners, Strabane, and Clyde as various symbols were hotly debated. Historic township seals were consulted, as well as previous symbols of the Town of Flamborough. In creating a motto for the community, every school in the area (over 20) were consulted and students were asked to send in their suggestions.''[2]
On May 10, 2011, the Flamborough flag was raised over Waterdown District High School in the presence of its student body, as well as a delegation from Allan A. Greenleaf Public School.[3]
Symbolism found in the Coat of Arms and Flag[edit]
The most important part of any coat of arms is the shield. The other elements around the shield are optional, however, they need to follow very strict guidelines of heraldic design.
The Shield[edit]
A white shield with a green pine tree between two blue wavy triangles, rising from the base with their points converging toward the top of the shield.
The top portion of the shield is green with a triangular notch in the middle, pointing upwards, charged with two gold crowns of maple leaves. This section recalls the dormer of an Ontario Cottage, a nineteenth-century vernacular architectural style common throughout Flamborough. A dormer also appears in the logo of the Waterdown-East Flamborough Heritage Society. The shape also recalls a plough moving through green turf, a reference agriculture and the early pioneers of this area. The coronets depict the human history of the area, as well as its connections with the British and Canadian Crowns. The pine tree appeared on a number of previous seals and arms of Flamborough's communities and represents the white pines that used to dominate the landscape. The four wavy lines represent the four major wateways (Grindstone, Bronte, Spencer and Fairchild Creeks) and waterfalls (Webster's, Tews, Borers and the Great Falls) of the region. By their convergence, they also represent the amalgamation of the three townships with the village of Waterdown to create the Township (later Town) of Flamborough in 1974.
Crest (top of the coat of arms)[edit]
A representation of the "Cobblestone Bridge" at Webster's Falls - a major landmark in the Flamborough region.
"UNITED WE THRIVE" - developed by students from Greenville Public School and Rehoboth Christian School, as well as Kyle Menegaldo.
Supporters (animals on either side)[edit]
On the left side of the shield is a horse and on the right a great blue heron. Both are wearing a medallion around their necks, depicting a blue arrowhead. They stand on a platform representing the Niagara Escarpment, charged with three red trilliums rising from a bed of green violets. The horse symbolizes the early pioneers of the Flamborough area and the continuing importance and contribution of agriculture. It also illustrates the importance of the horse in development of the area and is also a reference to the iconic Rockton World's Fair. The Great Blue Heron is a common sight in the area marshes and along the waterways of the community. In particular, the heron represents the Beverly Swamp.•The arrowheads recall the Aboriginal People of the 'Neutral' and 'Attawandaron' nation, who were the first known human inhabitants of the Flamborough-Beverly area. The eastern green violet represents the Beverly Swamp, which is home to a provincially significant concentration of the rare flower. The trillium is the provincial flower of Ontario and the red variety is found in abundance in the Flamborough area. The number of trilliums represent the three areas (Dundas, Aldershot & Clyde) that have been annexed from Flamborough by surrounding municipalities (except Dundas which became independent).
The Flag[edit]
A reinterpretation of the arms, focussed at the centre to recall the motto. Purposely divided into four parts, the flag represents the waterways, waterfalls and original townships of this region. The colours of the flag, as with the arms, are the ones used by Flamborough when it was its own municipality (1974–2001).[4]
In 1974, the Hamilton-Wentworth Region was created with six constituent municipalities. Flamborough Township was created as one of these by amalgamating the townships of East Flamborough, West Flamborough, Beverly with the Village of Waterdown. At the same time, a small portion of Beverly Township near the community of Clyde was ceded to North Dumfries Township in Waterloo Region and a more populous but smaller portion of East Flamborough near the community of Aldershot was ceded to Burlington in Halton Region. Flamborough became a town in 1985.
Although the existence of the Hamilton-Wentworth regional government was supposed to preserve the rural and semi-urban character of Flamborough from encroachment by its larger urban neighbour, the reprieve did not last long as several country libraries were forced to close. In 2001, the provincial government disbanded Hamilton-Wentworth and its constituent municipalities and replaced them with a new single tier municipality called the City of Hamilton after its largest member.
The amalgamation was bitterly and unsuccessfully protested by some Flamborough residents and those of adjacent communities, particularly since the incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP, Toni Skarica's government had promised in the previous election that the amalgamation would not occur. Skarica resigned in protest, but the amalgamation was not rescinded.
The population of Flamborough at the 2001 census was 37,796. By the 2006 census, its population had increased to 39,220.
Geography and natural attractions[edit]
Much of Flamborough is located on top of the Niagara Escarpment; thus the Bruce Trail passes through the area. Although relatively flat in the south, a slow but steady incline is observable until reaching the Wellington County line which is the approximate height of land dividing two watersheds. The Beverly Swamp, located in the western part of the former Beverly Township, is another important physiographic area.
Notable natural attractions operated by the Hamilton Conservation Authority include:
- Westfield Heritage Centre, a living history museum containing pioneer era buildings moved from other locations across Ontario
- Valens Conservation Area, offering camping and boating at its reservoir[5]
- Christie Lake, swimming and stocked fishing at its reservoir[6]
- Spencer Gorge and Webster's Falls Conservation Area, spectacular view of the falls and city below while hiking on the Bruce Trail.
Economy and commercial attractions[edit]
After early European settlers had cleared the land of pine and oak forests, they began subsistence and then export farming. Disregarding the swamp and the excessively rocky areas of the Mountsberg area, the land is devoted chiefly to agriculture. Much of the arable land is devoted to raising corn, strawberries and cash crops.
In recent decades, Flamborough has become home to commuters and hobby farmers in the Golden Horseshoe. It has easy access to secondary highways, especially with the opening of an interchange with Highway 403 at Waterdown Road, granting easier access for traffic to/from Toronto.[7]
Notable attractions operated as commercial enterprises include:
- Flamboro Downs, featuring harness racing, and slot machines
- Flamboro Speedway, featuring car racing
- African Lion Safari, with land mammals and birds of prey in an open air zoo
- Rockton World's Fair, an agricultural exhibition held every Thanksgiving Weekend (Canadian)

Bukit Lawang - Tangkahan - Berastagi - Lake Toba (and maybe Bukittingi)
Joined Travelfish
9th September, 2007
Posts: 60
My plan is to go to Sumatra soon and more concrete (coming from Medan) to Bukit Lawang - Tangkahan - Berastagi (not shure if this make sense?) - Lake Toba and after that maybe Bukittingi and surroundings. About this a few questions:
1. Read I can reach Bukit Lawang same day arriving in the morning from Medan airport, how much time would I need?
2. Coming from Tangkahan I don't have to go back to Bukit Lawang but best is to travel via Medan to Berastagi (maybe just to sleep if it's not possible to visit the surroundings)? Or is it possible to reach Tuk Tuk at the same day?
3. How is the situation in/around Berastagi, does it make sense to go there?
4. From Lake Toba it's quite a distance to Bukittingi, are there any (worthwhile) stops in between or would it be best to return to Medan and take a flight to Padang?
5. Is the route following Bukit Lawang - Tangkahan - Berastagi - Lake Toba (maybe Bukittingi) logical or are there better options?
6. Any other advice about this? Recommendations?
Thanks answering,

There are new passive income ideas showing up online almost every day now. The key is in determining which ones are legitimate and which ones should be avoided.
The idea of working online from home has become so popular that unfortunately there are some unethical programs out there.
You will also like: 3 Smart Passive Income Ideas You Should Be Considering
Generally, it's a good idea to avoid the get rich quick offers. Online businesses are no different from traditional businesses in the sense that success rarely happens overnight. It will take hard work and dedication to make your business successful.
By using the ideas below, you can make an informed decision about which programs are the right ones for you.
Blogging is a great way to earn money online. Content is king when it comes to blogging, so you'll need to provide your readers with original, high quality content. You can use your blog to attract targeted prospects for products or services you are offering.
As long as you have an informative blog that you update on a regular basis, traffic should not be problem. Blogging is one of the passive income ideas that people rarely think can be profitable.
Selling is not the only way to make money with your blog. You can use services like Google AdSense to place relevant ads on your website. You will be paid a commission when your visitors click on these ads.
Traffic is key when you're selling advertising space on your blog.
The more traffic you have, the higher your odds will be that people click on them. You can also place your own ads for any affiliate programs you're enrolled in.
Just make sure your ads are related to the overall topic of your blog. You wouldn't want to place ads for pet care if you're blogging about cooking.
Mobile Applications Make Great Passive Income Ideas
One of the latest passive income ideas is to create applications for mobile devices, such as smart phones or tablets. You can develop a game or an app that finds the nearest gas station or one that tracks your calories for a given day.
With the demand for mobile applications increasing daily, so is the demand for developers of these apps.
Designing and developing applications for mobile devices is getting easier and easier as these devices become more mainstream. There are many tools being made available to help the average Joe build their own app, as described here.
This is proving to be a legitimate income stream for many people. With no foreseen slowdown in the development of mobile devices, the demand for mobile applications will be here for the long run.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing has long been considered one of the most lucrative money making ideas available online. It is important to choose an affiliate company with products that are relevant to website's niche. Doing this will allow you to create links in articles or blogs that point back to your site.
Since the affiliate product is related to your blog content, you will receive high quality backlinks by doing this. These backlinks will be used by search engines to determine where you rank in searches. The more quality links you have, the more love Google will give to your site.
Perhaps the best affiliate marketing benefit is you're selling someone else's products or services. There is no inventory to manage or store. Also, you're not responsible for the customer service side of the business.
Not having to manage angry customers or any inventory makes affiliate marketing one of the most sought after passive income ideas.
While there are many ways you can make money online, you'll want to choose one that fits your personality. Unlike traditional businesses, starting your own online business will not necessarily require a lot of money upfront.
The ideas listed above can all be started with very little out of pocket money.
This gives you some leeway should you choose one a little out of your comfort zone or that's not a good fit. Remember that success will not happen overnight or without any effort on your part.
Keep your goals realistic, and you can make any passive income ideas profitable and successful.
