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.

Twitter has been all a tweet today over sightings of John Lasseter visiting the Imagination Pavillion, going through the main level and then up to the second level. John Lasseter visiting Epcot is interesting but spending his time in one pavillion with Disney management just gives my imagination a workout.
But with Future World, I'm living on hope and day dreams for better days ahead.

The results are in and I couldn't be more excited to announce Inc. Magazine has once again named WebiMax one of the 500 fastest growing companies in the United States. Coming in at #104, WebiMax is proud to be recognized among a prestigious list of U.S.-based, privately held, and independent companies for the second consecutive year.
Apart from the criteria listed above, companies were chosen for the list based on their growth the past three years. The September issue of Inc. Magazine shows that WebiMax experienced a 3,367% growth during that time and accumulated $8.7 million dollars in 2012 revenue. These numbers wouldn't be possible without the best group of online marketing minds in the business and fantastic clients.
When I started WebiMax in 2008, we were a start-up with four people. Today, we employ 125 online marketers and are recognized both nationally and internationally for a full array of Internet marketing services.
The most exciting aspect of the Inc. 500 list is where we are headed. We are stronger than we have ever been as a company. I am very fortunate and proud to have developed a team of dedicated, experienced and driven employees. Without the team that WebiMax has built, we would not be able to accomplish the accolades we have received. I look forward to what is to come in 2013 and beyond. Our focus is around growing new channels of opportunity and expanding our reach on an international scale.
Be sure to grab the September issue of Inc. Magazine for the full list, and contact us anytime to learn about the people and services that make us one of America's fastest growing companies.
MOUNT LAUREL, NJ (AUG. 21, 2012) – Inc. magazine today ranked WebiMax No. 37 on its 31st annual Inc. 500, an exclusive ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. In addition, WebiMax is the highest ranked New Jersey-based private organization on this list.
Kenneth Wisnefski, founder and CEO WebiMax, a leading online marketing firm founded in 2008, announced "in our first year of eligibility for the Inc. 500, WebiMax is pleased to be included in this famed list and be placed amongst the nation's top tier of private organizations experiencing explosive growth."
The 2012 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 21 to November 15 and on Inc.com), is the most competitive crop in the list's history. To make the cut, companies had to be founded in 2008, and have achieved a staggering minimum of 770% in sales growth. The Inc. 500's aggregate revenue is $15.7 billion, with a median three-year growth of 1,431 percent. The companies on this year's Inc. 500 employ more than 48,000 people and generated over 40,000 jobs in the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 500|5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at http://www.inc.com/500.
"WebiMax is one of the fastest growing private companies not just in the United States, but also in our industry," states Wisnefski. "Our commitment to delivering high quality and innovative online marketing services to more than 800 clients worldwide has earned us this distinction and I thank the individuals at Inc. magazine for this representation."
The 2012 Inc. 500|5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2008 to 2011. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2008. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2011. The minimum revenue required for 2008 is $100,000; the minimum for 2011 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.'s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at www.inc.com/500.

We recently purchased an older home (@1964) in the SC upstate with a completely overgrown 1/2 acre yard we're working to reclaim. One of the many treasures we've discovered here is a stand of fig trees. Other than some miscellaneous cuts that the trades apparently made when we had foundation work done before we moved in, these 12-15 ft tall trees haven't been touched in at least 10 years. They were loaded with rotting/falling figs last fall when we moved in. I know NOTHING about fruit trees, so any advice would be much appreciated regarding pruning, feeding, etc. I read Herman's advice on pruning, but this is a little overwhelming to me. There are photos here if you cut and paste the link: http://s20.photobucket.com/user/patdev/library/Reclaiming the Yard-Garden Thanks so much in advance. |

What a nice find at your new house! There is a nice video on you tube about Pruning figs trees at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alO4VYPPWCo |

You can shape them however you like, the key is they grow shoots out of the nodes so wherever you see a little node, that's where a shoot will come from. The last node on a limb will usually push the new growth after pruning so you can use that to guide you in where you want a limb to grow and what direction. Typically ppl leave outward facing nodes as the last node so the tree develops a spreading habit which allows air and sun into the middle more to ripen fruits and avoid mold, etc. also keeps fruit reachable. Good luck and email me if you have extra cuttings after u prune, I'd love some! Have a great day! Timothy |

It is better to wait for next year for pruning, old fig trees, maybe you will find something special. |

Ptrosss, Contact Bass (http://www.treesofjoy.com ) ,he is figs hunter and introduced many figs cultivar to the trade. I contacted him twice ,but without responce. |
Ptrosss, I'm in upstate SC also. Near Fountain Inn. I have an overgrown fig tree that was on the property when my parents bought the place in 1979, the house was built in the 60's also. After my parents died I bought out my 4 brothers portion of the land and house. My Dad never trimmed it and wouldn't let me trim it. He was afraid that it would die. It was about 30' tall and 40' wide with lots of "new" trees sprouting up from where the lower limbs touched the ground and set roots. In Dec. of 2012, after a little reading and some advise from folks on this forum I decided to break out the chainsaw and just go at it! It took me about 12 hours of cutting and untangling the limbs. It came back with a vengeance! It put out new limbs everywhere and produced more figs that it has ever produced last summer! I have never fertilized it and I don't really think it is necessary, from the looks of your tree I think that you can do the same. |

I hope the figs were good! Do you know what variety of dig tree it is? I wish I had the same problem, my trees are all young. |
No Terry, I don't know the variety for sure, but I think it is a brown turkey. They are very good! The birds and bees love them too, but there is enough for all of us! |
I wish I had that problem (overgrowth). Most of my fig trees are small. I used to have one about ten feet tall. it Gave me lots of green colored figs for about 8 years. Then, it started to die. I salvaged some cuttings and planted them around the house. I believe this fig is an Alma fig. Within the last few months I have bought and just planted the following varieties: Brown Turkey, Texas Overbearing, Black Mission, Sierra (new variety), plus two varieties that I bought at a flea market with no name. I want to get a Texas Blue Giant next, but I can't find it in my area. I' m willing to trade cutting with someone who has a variety that produces large fruit. Happy figging :-). |
Thanks so much for all the responses! I will put your suggestions into use very soon. |

It would be best to cut 2/3 limbs per year to the ground. Now is the best time to do that. Keep the new sprouts at a manageable height. Make some 8" tip cuttings off what you have cut back to root |

12/09/2011 – Frontier Renewable Resources and Valero Establish Joint Venture for Commercial-Scale Hardwood Cellulosic Ethanol Facility in Kinross, MI
LEBANON, NEW HAMPSHIRE – Mascoma Corporation, through its subsidiary Frontier Renewable Resources, LLC, has entered into definitive agreements with Valero Energy Corporation, the nation's largest independent oil refiner and a leading ethanol producer, to develop and operate a first-of-its-kind commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol facility in Kinross, Michigan. The facility will use Mascoma's proprietary consolidated bioprocessing technology platform to convert hardwood pulpwood into 20 million gallons of ethanol per year initially. Construction is expected to commence within the next three to six months and cost an estimated $232 million to complete. These costs are fully funded, with Valero providing the majority of the financing, and the remainder from awards by the U.S. Department of Energy and the State of Michigan. Frontier Renewable Resources is jointly owned by Mascoma, based in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and J.M. Longyear, LLC, based in Marquette, Michigan. (Download & Read Entire Article)
07/07/11 – Frontier Kinross Biorefinery Receives Modified Permit to Install and NEPA Determination
KINROSS TOWNSHIP, MI – On June 30, 2011, the Air Quality Division of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality informed Frontier Kinross, LLC, a subsidiary of Frontier Renewable Resources, that a Permit to Install had been approved for its up to 40 million gallon per year cellulosic ethanol biorefinery with a biomass boiler to be located in Kinross Township, Michigan. Permit to Install No. 166-09 (issued in September 2010) has been voided because the equipment is now covered by this Permit to Install No. 166-09A. On July 1, 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy informed Mascoma Corporation, an owner of Frontier, that a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) determination of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) had been issued for the Frontier Kinross biorefinery. Frontier is pleased with the decisions by MDEQ and U.S. DOE and appreciates their diligent and thorough reviews. Frontier and our partners are looking forward to moving forward with the project, which provides good paying jobs, innovative clean energy technology and reduces our dependency on foreign oil.

- Great summer pant (Review by Tex)
Quality An excellent 3/4 length pant made of lightweight but tough stretch fabric. The fit is trim but not tight, and seems true to size.
These would be great climbing, hiking, casual and even work on bike.(Posted on 4/22/14)
- Fantastic (Review by Brett)
Quality Once they're on I don't want to take them off. They are super-comfortable lounging around or out for a long hike / scramble. I love them.

- Men's Ferrosi 3/4 Pants (Review by By The Rookie)
I predominantly use these for bike rides when I know that I'll also have to be able to walk around town or sit in a bar for awhile. They're a little too tight for me to wear if I'm not going to be exercising, but they're great when I am. The Ferosi knickers are packable and light weight enough that they live in my bag just in case I need to ride the 30 miles from work and don't want to wear jeans.

About Us
The Expensify Story
The Expensify saga starts in 2008 with David Barrett's burning hatred for awful expense reports. Enraged by the lack of good solutions to this very obvious problem, David founded Expensify with the slogan: Expense Reports that Don't Suck!
Expensify was the much needed cure for the traditional headache-inducing expense reporting process the world had grown accustomed to and Expensify was well received by the media. We enjoyed heaps of press from tech blogs and major news publications alike which ultimately resulted in $1M being raised in 2009.
Encouraged by this early success, we started to fill out the team and expand our features. We also established the best company perk ever: Offshoring. While originally only targeting very small businesses (10 employees or less) we quickly saw our client list include one hundred person companies. Next, two and three hundred person companies started signing up. Soon after that a five hundred person company. Before we knew it, we were working with some of the biggest and best companies in the world! As our clients got bigger and bigger, Expensify continued to add more and more time saving features, increasing the amount of automation in the expense reporting process and improving efficiency for businesses everywhere.
In 2010 we raised $5.7M, using that to further expand and strengthen the team. We had a game changer planned and we needed the best and brightest to bring it to life. Something that would blow the minds of our users by truly revolutionizing the expense management process. Enter Expensify SmartScan.
Before the launch of SmartScan, Expensify simply made expense management easier, but we hadn't truly changed the process. SmartScan changed the expense management space forever. Now Expensify users could become truly paperless. Take a picture of the receipt, then throw it away. No more carrying around receipts in pockets and envelopes. We had created something that was the first of its kind. Competitors and banks who clung to the old traditional processes were all eventually forced to license out our service or build an imitation. Funnily enough, it wasn't until 2014 (3 years later) that our largest competitor managed to muster a similar service.
Fast forward to the present: we now have over 2 million users and more than 300,000 companies that use Expensify. We reimburse millions of dollars every day, process billions every year, and we're still pushing out new features making life easier for our users in over 169 different countries.

Project Runway and the Fashion Show (if they ever even make it back on TV) should prep for some ferosh competition. Project Runway judge Nina Garcia, is adding another television show to her magazine editing and t.v show judging duties: acting. Garcia will be a guest star on Ashton Kutcher's new series, "The Beautiful Life," and has already filmed her scenes for one episode. Depending on how well Garcia is received by the audience, there's a solid chance that her role could extend to more episodes. The show, which debuts September 16th also stars Mischa Barton and Elle McPherson. Hot on Garcia's heels is Jazmin Whitley! Never heard of her? Starting tomorrow, you will. Keep reading »

But your Mexican food? The most bizarre in the United States — and I've had tater-tot burritos and Taco Bueno. The least-loved. The most unknown. The most — excuse my English — weird. Outside of Coloradans and expats, no one gives a shit about Denver's Mexican-food traditions, let alone wants to know about them. Your most unique culinary contribution to Mexican food, the Mexican hamburger, is unknown outside of your state, derided by everyone to whom I describe it; they're incredulous that anyone can consider that Mexican food and dismiss it as yet another Denver oddity à la Tim Tebow and, well, Tom Tancredo. Your most famous Mexican restaurant is Casa Bonita in Lakewood, an Oklahoman import immortalized in South Park and called "the world's weirdest Mexican restaurant" by this fine publication.
Your Mexican food never makes the national conversation about America's regional Mexican styles — Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, Sonoran cuisine, Southwestern food...Den-Mex? Sounds like a cholesterol drug. If the country knows anything about Denver's Mexican grub, it's Chipotle, the wildly successful burrito company started by Steve Ells in a former Dolly Madison shop near the University of Denver — and instead of making your indigenous burritos a national obsession, he instead went with San fucking Francisco. Traitor. When Colorado Mexican finally reached the national spotlight, the Travel Channel's Food Wars decided to focus on Pueblo's Slopper. Sad. Even I, who professes to love Denver, largely ignored your cuisine in my new book, Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America. There's a paragraph about your native food in the chapter about burritos, and that's about it; meanwhile, I devote pages to Ells. Really sad.
But after years of wrestling with the cuisine, of wondering why you wrap wontons around chiles rellenos and put hamburger patties into burritos, of marveling that your green chile is as orange as the jerseys of the Broncos, I have finally learned to love Den-Mex. Your epic Mexican hamburgers, your combo plates slathered — scratch that, smothered — in furious chile. Your street-corner, foil-wrapped burritos steaming with chunks of pork, the late-night runs to Chubby's. (Chubby's! The greatest Mexican restaurant in the United States! More on that in a bit.) When I first came and tasted Den-Mex, I dismissed ustedes as a heresy as dangerous to Mexican culture as the only Mexican thing I knew about Denver at the time: Tom Tancredo.
That's now changed: I'll devote the rest of my life to spreading your gospel, with the fervor of the converted. Let the rest of the nation snicker: Yours is a foodway deserving of love, because your cuisine is the I Corinthians 13 of the grub world — patient, kind, waiting for people to wise up to it, as I eventually did.
I first visited Denver in the summer of 2007, on the tour for the initial release of the book version of ¡Ask a Mexican! It was a whirlwind stay, one that didn't allow me to get a bite until after my book signing at the Tattered Cover — a burger at a bar. I didn't try Denver's Mexican food then, but I do remember street vendors with coolers, handing out burritos to people ranging from blue-collar workers waiting for a bus to men in suits buying them from their cars, windows cracked open just enough for a transaction to occur. It struck me as odd: I'm from California, where we think we invented the burrito, and only eat them from the fast-food drive-thru or a lonchera, so to see a bunch of Denverites carrying around our birthright in a container we use to store beer at the beach seemed silly.
The thought of a cooler burrito did pique my palate, though, so I vowed to buy one the next time I was in Denver — for the fall 2008 book tour for my Orange County: A Personal History. I returned to the Tattered Cover that September, but another whirlwind PR tour prevented me from trying the cooler burrito. Thankfully, editor Calhoun intervened. I was due to leave Denver right after appearing on Jay Marvin's old show. (Strange but true: Jay Marvin is a native of Orange County, so he always had me on his show when I was in town, for hours at a time; it's a tragedy he had to give it up for health reasons.) Right before a car was supposed to pick me up at 9 a.m., she met me in the lobby of Denver's Clear Channel operations and gave me a burrito. It initially seemed like any other burrito: wrapped in foil, in a flour tortilla, and big. Big deal. But then I took a bite. The beans were wonderful, the rice fluffy, the chorizo magnificent, the eggs silken. Then the spice hit: not the salsas I've known for so long, but something better, something fragrant, fleshy and with a kick like Jason Elam. It was spectacular, and taught me more was out there.
It was only later that I realized the importance of that particular burrito maker: Santiago's, which many of you deem the best Mexican food in Denver. Then, I just knew the brilliance of this burrito, so I happily obliged when Calhoun asked for a quote describing my experience.
Chubby,s???Really???? I ate there once, Yuk! Even TacoBell's better than Chubby's.......
as Kim implied I didnt even know that people able to make $5085 in four weeks on the internet. did you see this page makecash16.c om
just as Kathleen explained I can't believe that any one able to get paid $7852 in four weeks on the internet. did you look at this site makecash16.c om
Have you any praise for the sister of the cooler burrito?--the parking lot tamale. If you are very lucky, then you will happen upon one of the groups of Mexican ladies who set up illegal but awesome vendor-stations in mall parking lots, usually out of the backs of cars, where for $1 each or so, they deliver you a steaming Ziploc bag filled with fat, succulent pork tamales, fresh as can be, to devour on the ride home, since you simply cannot resist waiting until you get home to unwrap at least one plump, spicy tamale.
As an OC transplant I agree that trying to find a good Mexican restaurant that we are used to in Southern California is daunting to say the least. As I started to explore and sample I also have come to find that Colorado has its own unique flavors. Love the cooler burritos before Bronco games which reminded me of a guy who used to go door to door back in OC selling tamales out of his cooler. I did manage to find a good taco truck, while not El Chavito, it still satisfies while brewery cycling in Fort Collins. Thanks for the tips on some new places to sample in Denver. I'm disappointed that you won't be coming to Denver on your book signing tour because you still owe me a signed copy of your OC a personal history book!
The title of the story has Mexican in it, where are the comments from mitch young and 909 jeff? hahahaha

The only thing wrong with this article is the author hasn't tasted the best green chile in town! We all start with the restaurants that boast they are the best & authentic Mexican restaurant in town. Denver has alot of them. I have tried all the restaurants mentioned in the article except El Noa Noa. And I do enjoy a breakfast burrito from Santiago's! But, the very best "smothered" mexican food in town is La Casa Del Rey in Commerce City. I even do the HOT green chile! I have heard tables next to me say "we drive down from Evergreen", "this is the first place I come when I get out of the airport"! Dog the Bounty Hunter never misses the place when he comes into town from Hawaii. The thing is, once you have learned to love Denver's green chile & you move away, it's always on your mind! I would suggest the author try La Casa Del Rey next time he is in Denver & take Patty with you! And, I don't agree with the comments about Tom Tancredo, but Westword is known for being a bleeding heart liberal. I enjoyed the article!
I thought this was a substantive food review, not a political piece. Complete waste of time.
I can't believe there is just one comment on this as of Friday morning.
I don't dig the Mexican Hamburger the way Gustavo does. But he did a damn good job trying to understand Denver's culture over the course of a few short visits. And the love he expressed for Denver-Mexican food is close to what I feel as a native. This piece gives far more depth and insight to Denver's food than anything Anthony Bourdain and his crew have managed here.
The best green chili in town comes from my kitchen at home after making a stop at one of those hatch chili stands along Federal in late summer (or early fall). Yum.
thanks, gloria: I won't wait until gustavo's next in town to try that!we'd like to publish your letter in the print edition, too.
Uhh... did you read past the first page? 4/5 of the article is about Denver's indigenous version of Mexican food, and Chubby's Mexican Hamburger specifically - the Tancredo bit is just an intro. Maybe try reading the article before criticizing it.
i'd love to publish this in our print edition, ideally with your full name/town. If that's okay, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com

hey guys, i have been in and out on this site for few weeks now, so decided to start my own thread. recently purchased a new house in Dec. so now starts the exterior work/landscaping. House is block from the Beach on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
As you can see i have brought in lots of dirt, (20 loads to be exact!) just finished up my bulk head last week , which i am very happy with. Yesterday i got my 2 main palms, i absolutely love them. question is im still unsure what i want to do for the rest of the landscaping around the house. any help or advice would be greatly apprectiated. I am going to attempt to get some pictures on here. [IMG]http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa69/diggman08/DSC00615.jpg[/IMG]
also as you can see the white pvc pipe. once i get my sod im going to cut the of flush and put drain covers on them. I ran drainage along the property so i dont flood out the neigbors, also routed the gutters under ground out the bulk head, and have drain ends coming out the bulk head on each side. |

The links work only because I use a Firefox add-on (BBCodeXtra) which adds the correct codes; I don't know how to do it otherwise. However, here is GW's explanation (this is a forum without a Gallery): |
ok, thanks for adding the links. hope to get some more replys from fellow members |
diggman08---on photobucket there is a a box next to one's picture that says "Share this image." Inside that box are a series of codes...in this order: Email and IM You want to copy and paste the HTML code. That will allow your picture to show up in thread. Like this: You have to get the whole thing...including the greater-and-lesser than signs...or it won't work. Witness: Only thing I'm missing in the above code is the < at the start of the command. Best of luck! melanie |
Nice job on the placement of the palms, pulled out and away from the house. My only advice would be to continue to use your whole canvas and resist any temptation to snug plants up against the house. I am not a landscaper, so my advice is worth every penny you're paying for it -- ; ) -- but I can imagine a "pool" of green grass surrounded by deep curving beds filled with ???. Could be any number of approaches to what fills the beds, depends on how much time you like to spend in the garden and whether you like a formal manicured look, or a teeming jungle, or something in between. |
hey thanks catkim, its just all so overwhelming, i have to still put sod down, run lights for the landscaping, figure out where i want to build up the dirt for the landscaping, what kind of mulch, what type of trees,shrubs. argh!! any suggestions by looking at my pics or maybe some ideas ? |
We have seen these recessed-entryway houses quite often on here lately, and many people are prone to planting in the entry way, which tends to close it off. It looks like you have only planned brick in there, which should give a better impression. From the fact that you've put beds up against the house it looks like you're set on ignoring the advice you've received so far anyway :-) from Catkim above. I tend to agree that foundation planting is far too often confused with landscaping, and landscaping far too often limited to foundation planting. And speaking for myself, I pretty much die of boredom once the plan goes that route. You've put the palms in the right place, now keep working out there! Some houses on some lots really need foundation planting, but others, like yours, offer scope for something much more original and attractive. KarinL |
thanks, i just didnt want to take away from my yard, and the front of my house just seem so plain and boring. i wanted to give it some depth. like could you give me some examples of what you are saying about pulling it away from the house?? because i dont see anywere else to put anything really. |
Well, pardon me for sounding a bit flippant, but I can see the whole rest of your front yard (let's ignore the back for the moment). To illustrate, what if you switched the brown and green colours in your sketch? That makes for a bit too much in the way of beds and too little lawn, but move the line around a bit and maybe you get the idea. Grass at the foundation, as both your neighbours have, which lets the house look crisp and tidy, and garden beds out where the palms are, which allows way more freedom to plant more variety than standard green lumpy things, which is what most people put at their foundation. KarinL |
thanks karin, that is a good idea. i guess something like that is just a bold bold move, dunno if im ready to take the chance. what i had in mind is putting a sago over on the corner by the satellite dish, with two Indian hawthornes around it, now as for from there on over to the walkway i have no clue what to do. Nathez crepe myryle maybe?? now all of this is if i go with the design i drew up, i am still giving yours thought. |
- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 23:06
What about the edge of the drainage ditch? Should there be plantings -- or something -- along the wall so people don't fall? |

Even though the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed 2 years ago and there are an army of agencies working its implementation, no one really knows how much health insurance will cost under the new rules. One of my most recent blog post, Healthcare Reform Simplified: Individuals and Families, discussed the federal tax penalties for not having health insurance. That prompted this reply from a friend on Facebook
"So I have a friend that is a real estate agent in his 50s currently without coverage. Do not know income details. Probably up and down. Probably around $36K net currently. How much does he need to pay as self employed to get into the pool?"
And his follow up question of "How much would it cost him to remain uninsured?"
Comparing apples and oranges
Perhaps our best benchmarks are the current premium rates for plans in California. Currently, it looks as if California's minimum benefits coverage will be fairly close, if not more generous, than the Essential Health Benefits mandated under the ACA. So we are close to comparing apples with apples.
I ran a quote for a non-smoking 55 year old in the Sacramento 95608 zip code with coverage effective August 1, 2012. These are standard rates with no increase for any medical conditions or prescription use. I selected the least expensive plan offered by each carrier (excluding HSAs).
From lowest premium to highest per month
- Health Net PPO Advantage 6500 $144
- Anthem Blue Cross CoreGuard 5000 Plus 1 Member $243
- Aetna Open Access MC Value $288
- Blue Shield Shield Secure 6000 $312
- Kaiser $40/$3000 Deductible $421
- PCIP Pre-Existing Insurance Plan $487
The least expensive Health Net plan has additional copayments for surgery and hospital stays that do not accumulate towards the deductible. All the plans are PPOs except for Kaiser which is an HMO. Western Health Advantage is offering an individual HMO plan in the Sacramento area which would be $582 per month for their Individual Advantage 40.
The PCIP is only open to individuals who have been denied health insurance in the past year and have been without insurance for 6 months.
Again, I am not sure how close these monthly numbers will be to plans developed by the carriers that must meet the ACA Essential Health Benefits. Deductibles, copays and coinsurance will have the largest impact on the ultimate premium rates.
I'll take my chances
If our 55 year old gentleman decides to forgo health insurance, we know that he will pay at least the following penalties on his federal income tax of $95, $325 and $695 for the years 2014, 15 and 16 respectively. The alternative penalty is a percentage of income 1%, 2% and 2.5%, for years 2014, 15 and 16. With an income of $36,000 annually, he would be looking at a penalty of $360, $720 and $900 for years 2014, 15 and 16. Note, the only collection method the IRS has is withholding the penalty from any refund he might be due.
The worst opportunity cost
The cost of going without health insurance will be any penalty assessed plus the cost of medical services that might be needed. He will pay out-of-pocket for doctor visits, emergency room treatment, hospitalization, surgery and any item that would have been covered by insurance. One of the worst case scenarios is that the medical bills push him into bankruptcy. A truly debilitating disease will force him to liquidate his assets and enter the MediCal system.
I am not one given to illustrative stories, but I did have a client call me 2 weeks ago, who at 49 years old, was diagnosed with cancer. He has already met his $5000 deductible so the rest of the treatment is on the insurer. The good news; the prognosis is extremely favorable and he is actively planning his next career move without the crushing weight of medical debt hanging over his head.

Betabeat's just recieved word from three different sources familiar with the situation that Tumblr's Rich Tong, Tumblr's Fashion Director, is on his way out of the company.We're told that Mr. Tong sent an email out to a list of friends tonight saying as much, with "further details to come." Why the breakup? Another source familiar with the situation explained that Mr. Tong—who's been out of the office for much of the last three weeks, and whose diminishing presence has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the staff—saw himself in a much more "entrepreneurial" light than the capacity his job had him working in, which was a much more "ambassador"-esque role with regards to helping fashion brands become acquainted with Tumblr.
Earlier this year, Mr. Tong found himself in the middle of a fashion-related fiasco, wherein two brand managers criticized Mr. Tong for his inability to provide analytics for brands, and failure to cultivate relationships with brands who adopted Tumblr as a platform early on. Things got much worse when Tumblr's proposal for fashion brands participating in Fashion Week—an unofficial pay-for-play, essentially—leaked out:
The proposal asked for $100,000 to have 4 of Tumblr's "select bloggers" produce 15 posts for the brand's Tumblr during the week, with the "exact nature of the content to be agreed upon prior to the start of the week." For $150,000 brands could get ad placement on the official NY Fashion week Tumblr. For $350,000 they could get ad placement on the Tumblr tagged "fashion" page. For $10,000 big fashion brands could spend a little quality time with the 20 select bloggers at a private event. Product placement was also offered "At cost", with the "influential tastemakers" being promised at a group rate.
"Entrepreneurial," indeed. More trouble struck when the legality of such a proposal was questioned:
Tumblr had no formal contract with any of these bloggers. In fact, the bloggers Betabeat spoke with had no idea their services were being promised, no clue about the terms of the proposal and were blissfully ignorant that Tumblr was asking to be paid hefty sums for their work.
Mr. Tong started at Tumblr October 2010. Both Tumblr and Rich Tong have not responded to immediate requests for comment. We'll update if we hear more. Know more? Give us a shout.
Tong was essentially the 'face' of Tumblr fashion, so it will be interesting to see how they adapt to his absence (assuming this scoop is true). Could be the beginning of a new era for how Tumblr interacts with brands.

I received this listing in my inbox this weekend. A rather strange choice of wards in the description of the property. Perhaps somebody with a medical background can easily spot the error. |

Snicker ;-) I don't even understand all sports rush lake. I suppose that people in the area know what that means? |
Many years ago, a Fortune 500 published their annual report, including a letter from their "certified pubic accountant". Oops. |
Rush Lake is the name of the body of water, all-sports is jet skies, tubing, skiing, etc. (as opposed to no wake, electric motor, or motorless lakes). Looks like the agent has been texting too much. |

lol jonw9! |
"A rather strange choice of wards" was the first "error" I noted as acheavacc did that a typo exists outside the listing. I did not bother to look at the listing. |
Those who are anal about OP's spelling will miss a truly spectacular typo;-) (Sassafras, if you read the listing, you'll understand why I had to say that). |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Wed, Aug 7, 13 at 11:47
@rio I guess I'm still missing that (i.e. the second typo in the OP's post). Or maybe it's time to stop whinging and whining and start the wining. |
I also noticed that there are doorwalls leading to the deck, and I wonder what pinckney schools are. And as a buyer I would assume that there is some sort of sewer system, but I'd like to know for sure. OP - you should probably edit the post and fix your typo. ;-) |
Pinckney is the town. |
For those that can't read the small print in the picture, the misspelled word is perennial which they spelled perineal. And in case you still don't understand the humour, that's a part of the anatomy. Google it if you want to find out which part, but you might want to turn off the image search. |
C'mon now, who wouldn't want to come home to a little perineal docking? ;) |
@nosoccermom I meant that if Sassafras skipped looking at the listing because of the OP's typo, s/he'd miss out on the perineal dock:-) |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Wed, Aug 7, 13 at 18:04
@rio, I see. I thought I missed an even better typo. |
Nah, if I edit the initial post, then a bunch of the responses won't make sense, so I will leave it there. Although the error sasafras spotted wasn't quite in the listing. Doorwalls are lakefront speak for sliding doors. I don't see it as much with standard listings. I did not realize that was a Michigan thing. I found this: |

RE flyers are almost always in need of editing. Every pool is "sparkling" and capital letters are sprinkled everywhere, no sense intended. I like "Hugh" dens, "rot" iron railings, "fagstone" fireplaces, a "cozzy dinning" room with "jealousy" windows and of course, everyone wants to live on a "sexcluded cul-de-sack". Then there's the hyperbole, AKA real estate B.S. Every yard that has at least one half dead bush is described as a "Zen garden", "Poet's Garden", Lush, tropical garden", etc. I'm looking at a flyer right now that says it has a "country-fresh" bathroom. What does that mean, cow poop? Old windows are now "vintage" and old appliances are "original to the house". Yeah, 1965. |

Sylvia, are you sure it was a horse ranch? Are you sure it wasn't a best little chicken ranch? Of course, that would mean a misspelling of a different word! |

Financial Services Employees To Spend The Month Of January Subsisting On Garlic-Oregano Shots And Self-Loathing
By Bess Levin…a growing number of self-flagellating New Yorkers who treat — then beat — themselves post-holidays by temporarily giving up vices such as alcohol and sweets, sometimes replacing them with liquid diets (blue-green algae juice and garlic-oregano shots, among them). According to Denise Mari, owner of Organic Avenue, the uber-popular NYC-based juicing mecca, business has doubled year over year since 2006, with an explosion in volume in 2012. And there's always a spike in sales this time of year with those desperate to cleanse away their sins. "People tend to go extreme — they need to be kicked in the ass," says Danielle Pashko, a longtime NYC nutritionist who guides high-rollers from Citibank, J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch. "It's kind of like a bipolar attitude — splurging with mayhem and nonstop debauchery for weeks, and then total self-deprivation." "These people are highly successful, competitive and stressed out. They're cosmopolitan and social and mostly men," says Pashko…John Cholish may look like any other ripped stud to an outsider: The smoking-hot energy options broker who boasts 6 percent body fat could intimidate most superheroes. "I've always been competitive, and like to challenge myself," says the 29-year-old from Long Island City who has detoxed regularly for more than a decade. But he's no match for his 110-pound feather of a girlfriend, Brianna Cole, 24. "My girlfriend and I will do a little competition, but she tends to beat me; I'm probably 0 for 4," he admits sheepishly of their fasts — during which they give up sugar, caffeine, alcohol and simple carbs for a minimum of several days. [NYP]

"damn that is one ripped stud" – nobody, ever.
0-4 in a fasting competition against a 110 lb girl who has been starving herself for her entire adult life…who would have guessed. What a meathead.

Behold the uber-douche!
Nice hair (or lack thereof.)
This tag is incorrect "words printed in a real newspaper: "may look like any other ripped stud to an outsider"".
The story appeared in the Post. -
high rollers from citibank???
I wonder what a certain older gentleman has to say about how this reflects on the current state of the noble profession of energy and petroleum products trading.
That's a pick of John Cholish the MMA fighter no? Who the fck is John Cholish the options broker?
The same person….

Back in the day they called it the annual Irish hiatus….there was no $80 dollar a day Blue Point fisting for the "ripped" reject. Instead, legions of pros went 30 days cold turkey from an otherwise voracious appetite for booze and woman.
Consider this from a 1990 Washington Post article on Ted Kennedy. While you might not have liked his politics, no one can deny he was a total pro–swordsman and sot.
"Without question, Kennedy likes to drink. During a two-hour stretch on a Lufthansa flight from Boston to West Germany in November, he downed two drinks of Scotch, two of vodka and, with dinner, three glasses of red wine. After three hours of sleep, the senator appeared sharp and refreshed upon arriving in Frankfurt at dawn, and subsequently put in a full day of work. He also is disciplined enough to stop drinking during his annual winter diet"

If you're the parent of a child with special needs, take a look at this chart that compares services provided by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1975.
As a parent, you are your child's greatest advocate, supporter, and cheerleader. By becoming knowledgeable regarding educational laws as well as services and programs available within your community, you can ensure that your child receives a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). There are two primary laws that cover your child's rights to a public education:
Understanding how Section 504 and IDEA work with each other and complement each other allows you as the parent to better assist your child's educational team in ensuring your child's right to a Free and Appropriate Education (FAPE) is provided allowing for maximum educational success.
504 and IDEA Comparison Chart
©2010 The National Center for Learning Disabilities, Inc. Reprinted with permission. For more information, visit LD.org.
Requires a written Individualized Education Plan (IEP) documentation with specific content addressing the disability directly and specifying educational services to be delivered, mandating transition planning for students 16 and over, as well as a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) for any child with a disability that has a behavioral issue.
"Appropriate Education" is defined as a program reasonably calculated to provide "educational benefit" to the student. Related services are provided as required for the student to benefit from the educational process and are aligned with specially designed instruction (e.g., counseling, speech, transportation, occupational and physical therapy, etc.)
Multiple assessment tools must be used to assess the child in all areas of the suspected disability.
Written consent is necessary by parent or guardian before an initial evaluation is conducted
Requires a reevaluation every three years by IEP team to determine if services are still needed to address student disability unless the parent and other members of the IEP team agree it is not necessary.
Evaluation draws on information from a variety of sources in the area of concern. A group decision is made with persons knowledgeable about the student, evaluation data, and available educational placement options. Written consent is not necessary before completing an evaluation; however, notice must be provided to parent or guardian.
Changes of services or placement must have written notice before any change can take place. Requires due process rights to be followed at all times and manifestation determination hearing for discipline procedures.
For any child with behavioral concerns a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) must be completed and a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) written to assist student in learning appropriate behaviors and providing supports to enable student to be successful in their learning community.
Does not require written notice.
Requires that student receives a free and appropriate education with his/her non-disabled peers in the least restricted environment.
IEP meeting is required before any change in placement or services is made. Students are eligible for a full continuum of placement options including regular education with related services as needed.
Requires district and schools to use information from a variety of sources. Consider all documented information. Use a team approach to make eligibility decisions, with team members being knowledgeable about the child, evaluation data, and the continuum of placements and services available.
The student must receive a free and appropriate education with his/her non-disabled peers.
Due process hearing not required before Office of Civil Rights (OCR) involvement or court action unless student is also covered by IDEA.
Compensatory damages possible.

Roddy White was walking around the Atlanta Falcons' locker room this week wearing a T-shirt with the word "Unacceptable" on the front and "48-21" on the back, a far-from-subtle reminder about that bitter end and unfinished business.
The season starts Sunday, and right off the bat the Falcons will be tested.
They open against the Bears at Soldier Field in a matchup between teams that won their divisions last season, only to come up short in the playoffs against Super Bowl champion Green Bay.
The Falcons won the NFC South at 13-3 and captured the top seed with the second- most wins in franchise history. Then, in a flash, it was over.
They got knocked out of the postseason by the Packers at home, the 48-21 loss ending with Aaron Rodgers getting serenaded by "Go, Pack, Go!" chants after he threw for three touchdowns and ran for another.
For White, the loss stings.
"It's just a little thing that I did," he said of the T-shirt. "Last year wasn't where we wanted to be. We won 13 games, but obviously we want to make it to the Super Bowl. Anything less will be unacceptable."
The Bears have similar goals to go with some big question marks, none bigger than blocking.
Yes, they took the NFC North at 11-5 and made it to the conference title game. They saved their season just when it seemed to be falling apart and came within a win of the Super Bowl before losing to Green Bay at home in the conference championship, a game that saw Jay Cutler spend most of the second half on the sideline because of a knee injury and get called out for it on Twitter by some current and former players.
Of course, no quarterback took a bigger beating than Cutler with 52 sacks, particularly in the early going with the line offering no protection. Who can forget that concussion-inducing nine-sack half against the New York Giants?
It's no secret the Bears used four different lineups in the trenches through the first seven games, that they staggered into their bye at 4-3. It's no secret, either, that things got better after that. They settled on a lineup on the offensive line and committed more to the run, taking the load off Cutler.
Even so, the big question remains: Can Cutler stay on his feet?
The Bears have a new look on the line with six-time Pro Bowler Olin Kreutz gone after a messy breakdown in contract negotiations and veteran Roberto Garza moving from guard to center. The Bears drafted tackle Gabe Carimi out of Wisconsin in the first round.
"They've made terrific progress in the last three weeks, particularly in the last two weeks, so I'm anxious to see them play," offensive coordinator Mike Martz said. "We'll find out where we are with that. But I'm excited about what they've done so far."
If the line doesn't perform, the Bears could be in trouble.
Cutler has a new receiver to throw to in Roy Williams. But can he rediscover the form that made him a Pro Bowl receiver under Martz in Detroit?
Contract squabbles also could be an issue for the Bears, with running back Matt Forte and linebacker Lance Briggs unhappy about not getting the deals they wanted.
As if opening against the Falcons weren't tough enough, the Bears' next two games are against the past two Super Bowl champions — at New Orleans and at home against Green Bay.
"There's no D-II schools," Cutler said. "We don't have a lot of options, so we got to take what it is. We got Atlanta, and we have to deal with it."
For the Falcons, the question is simple: Can they finally make a playoff run?
They're 33-15 with Matt Ryan at quarterback, but Matty Ice seems to freeze up in the playoffs. The Falcons have been one and done the past two years, with Ryan throwing four interceptions and getting sacked eight times.
He has a new target with rookie Julio Jones being added to an offense that already includes Pro Bowlers at receiver (White), tight end (Tony Gonzalez), running back (Michael Turner), fullback (Ovie Mughelli) and tackle (Tyson Clabo).
The Falcons should have no problem scoring, particularly with Jones in the mix. On defense, they addressed a big need by signing former Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards.
With all that, it's not hard to see why the Falcons have their sights set on reaching the Super Bowl and finishing the job.
"I just want to get to the playoffs," Gonzalez said. "That's all it is — being relevant in December. ... You can go 13-3 and we've done that before, but it doesn't matter. You've got to be relevant, get into the dance and make sure you get to that game, get to the Super Bowl."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rufus!
Facts about Rufus
- Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix
- Color: Merle
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Rufus
Rufus's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
I am a male Catahoula mix. I am about 11 months old. I am neutered, heartworm negative, current on shots, micro-chipped and on flea/heartworm prevention. My adoption is $100.
I was rescued from animal control where I was impounded as a stray. Sadly, no one adopted me and I was going to be put to sleep. A New Beginning stepped up and rescued me!
Since I am still a puppy, it is a requirement that I attend training classes here at the Petsmart in Altamonte Springs. Classes are one hour, once a week for six weeks. The cost of the classes is only $89 for all six sessions!
Please email for an application. A New Beginning Pet Rescue, Inc. only accepts cash. We do not have the ability to accept credit or debit cards and no longer accept checks. The pets are available to be seen at our adoption events on weekends at the Petsmart in Altamonte Springs on Saturday from 11-5 and Sunday from 12-5.
Other Pets at A New Beginning Pet Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rufus, a Orlando Catahoula Leopard Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Catahoula Leopard Dog for sale in Orlando, or seeking a Catahoula Leopard Dog puppy from a breeder in Orlando.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orlando already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Orlando breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Catahoula Leopard Dog breeders who help with Catahoula Leopard Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orlando paves the way for another one to be saved.

The "walk", according to scripture, is a kind of spiritual adhesive for all the books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.
walk in INTEGRITY - Ps26:11 - walk UPRIGHTLY - Ps84:11 - walk in TRUTH - Ps86:11 - walk in LIGHT - Isa2:5 - walk in THE WAY - Isa30:21 - walk after the SPIRIT - Rom8:4 - walk HONESTLY - Rom13:13 - walk by FAITH - 2Cor5:7 - walk in the SPIRIT - Gal 5:25 - walk WORTHY - Eph4:1 - walk in LOVE - Eph5:2 - walk in WISDOM - Col 4:5 - walk in the LIGHT - 1Jn1:7 - walk in WHITE - Rev3:4
Enoch and Noah "walked with God"; ..Isaiah "walked naked and barefoot", and Jacob's WALK would surely have been changed after he wrestled the 'angel' (epiphany or precept, Hos12:4) and had his thighbone 'touched'. But, of course those were the times before the scripture was completed, and Isaiah wouldn't have known to put on the spiritual armor or shoes of the preparation of the gospel. Eph6:17.
If you've made bad decisions in the past and are suffering the consequences, the secularists will say "you made your bed and you'll have to lie in it". Bible scholars will say "the way of the transgressor is hard", but Jesus says: "Take up your bed and WALK", Jn5:8. You CAN become a new creature in Christ Jesus!
"For we walk by faith, not by sight", 2Cor5:7
The ultimate walk, of course, is when Jesus walked on water! Having your feet washed by Jesus, and Walking on the water of The Word is what we all need to do!
Dux allows: "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out the matter". Pr25:2
Hard to walk humbly when you're a joint-heir with the King. (*kidding).
Tks for the update, David, mybad, and wouldn't surprise me to find more.. I think of it as 'glue' between Gen. and Rev.

"Makes my eyes much less tired!"
It gives the screen a nice hue which doesn't just fade it but makes it look softer in appearance. It's customizable too so if you want to work for a long time during the day, you can set it to reflect the night time vision. The hues/saturation can be adjusted to suit you too.
It takes a bit of time to get used to it!
It was strange getting used to it but it is such a good little program that it is worth the 'adjusting' time. It's no good to use it while photo editing. You can disable it and change the settings as you wish.
I forgot to mention - it works with Windows 8.
Cnet should definitely give a review on this and make it obviously available to everyone.

We are in the final stages of getting packed up for kitchen remodel which starts Tuesday. Dumb question.....should I wash down all the walls with TSP to get grease and grime off prior to contractor priming and painting or is it a waste of time since there will be dust, etc from demo? Thanks for the help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you are having it painted by a contractor, I would ask him /her. If they are a reputable company, they would be able to provide the best direction, in terms of timing , and whether or not it needs a washing with TSP. |
It's not really a waste of time because it is very unlikely that a painting contractor would wash walls that are dusty from demo. It's much faster to just use a pole sander to get dusty walls into a paintable condition. I would check though if washing off grease is included in the contract for the paintjob though as it would really be a waste of time if you are already paying for them to do it. If you do decide to do it though, I would use Dirtex instead. TSP really needs to be rinsed very well and we don't like to waste time with rinsing and rinsing if it's not necessary. |

is it possible to take cuttings off an avocado tree? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have never heard of starting avocado from cuttings. The usual method is from seed and then bud or graft onto the seedling. Al |
Yes it is, I've done it. It takes a long time, though, and I only had about 45% rooting success off of about 60 cuttings. |
- Posted by davidjamesmagna 10 (My Page) on Sat, Aug 18, 07 at 12:47
While I agree with propag8 that avocado cuttings are difficult to propagate (I have had about 33% success), it is actually the preferable method as avocados grown from seed are not true the parent plant, whereas with cuttings, you will know what you're getting. Here is my method for propagation: cut a young shoot at the point where it joins to another branch. dip into a rooting compound suitable for softwoods (anything stronger will be too much). place in a well watered pot of potting soil. cover with a clear plastic bag and put on a sunny windowsill or outside if it's spring/summer. check after 2 weeks by giving the shoot a gentle tug. |
davidjamesmagna, That is pretty interesting, your method of rooting avocado. About how long, in inches, would the cutting be? Is the cutting all green and flexible, or some of it woody? Do you take a mallet of the joining branch? What time of year does this work best? anytime? Would it seem that airlayering would also work? maybe removing a band of bark and treating with hormone? Thanks. |
davidjamesmagna, Very Interesting, Thank You! |

Paper lanterns hang over tables and offer just enough light to see your "green eggs and ham" breakfast sandwich stacked with eggs (or tofu) scrambled with spinach pesto and topped with Swiss and shreds of Canadian bacon (or soy ham). 3 S. Broadway, 720-570-4503, sputnikdenver.com
- If Table 6's haute pocket—a getup of steak, bacon, scrambled eggs, cheddar, and grilled onions on a milk roll—is good enough for the Food Network show The Best Thing I Ever Ate, it's good enough for you, too. 609 Corona St., 303-831-8800, table6denver.com
- Dig into Venue's slightly spicy shrimp and creamy grits while listening to the Highland gossip drift from nearby tables. 3609 W. 32nd Ave., 303-477-0477, venuebistro.com
- It might sit on the Hill in Boulder, but don't be fooled: Café Aion is no CU hangout. The rustic farm-to-table menu is constantly changing, but we go back again and again for the fried-to-order doughnuts and the hearty steel-cut oatmeal with Moroccan fruit compote. 1235 Pennsylvania Ave., Boulder, 303-993-8131, cafeaion.com
- The Bohemian set descends on Paris on the Platte, where pitchers of strong coffee are a must. Over conversation, or between pages of a dog-eared novel, fuel up on sunny bites of French toast stuffed with bananas and honey-walnut cream cheese. 1553 Platte St., 303-455-2451, parisontheplattecafeandbar.com
- Set in the heart of Capitol Hill, the brand-new Jelly has already found a following. We love the house-made preserves, but it's the breakfast sliders—mini frittatas set on toasted buns—that bring us back. Don't miss the Savory: goat cheese frittata, bacon, and spinach-walnut pesto. 600 E. 13th Ave., 303-831-6301, eatmorejelly.com

- Jennifer Aniston just spent $21 million on a house, er, mansion, er, estate in Bel Air, but lest you think her new palace comes with a nursery, the actress has squashed rumors she's pregnant. How? By boozing it up all over Hollywood this week. For the record, I am not buying it. [Stupid Celebrities]
- Matthew Broderick is supposedly going to reprise his classic Ferris Bueller character in a commercial that will air during the Super Bowl. There's no word yet on what product he'll be shilling for, but given that Ferris would be in his mid-40s now, I'm gonna guess and say Rogaine? [NYMag.com]
- Is this commercial starring Megan Fox — for a Brazilian school called CCAA which teaches English — racist? [Celeb Jihad]
