I'm new to overwintering plants and really in need of some advice. I have some elephant ears. Alocasia, and Colocasia. I see the typical green Colocasia year after year, so I know it's somewhat hardy here. I also have a couple diffrent ones like black magic, nancy's revenge, and rhubarb. I'm pretty sure these are only marginaly hardy here, if at all. So I would like to leave some in the ground, and keep some overwintered just in case. I already have some started in containers. I'm pretty sure they will go dormant in the house, so should I keep them under my house? Should they be kept moist?
I also have alocasia porto dora, and ?macrohizza?. Will these make it as "houseplants" through the winter. I also have some Hedichium ginger that I would like to continue growing this winter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

I would think that many of these plants would overwinter in your clime???.. I have overwintered a number of less hardy Alocasias, colocasias in the garage. We pull the pots into the center of the garage, and basically, let them just go completely dry. I would be careful NOT to overwater the pots...you may cause rot. Left outside, my macrorhizza and portadora have come through with a small amount injury, from one 11 degree spell we had a couple years ago (these are protected,and dry, under Oaks). |
I agree with Randy T that most if not all would be hardy for you. I live just barely in 8A and grow most of these plants in containers so they really have harsher conditions than if in ground. I tuck them under eaves and keep barely moist. I bring in Colocasia Black Magic to enjoy inside. I've learned to rely on Tony Avent at Plant Delights Nursery in Raleigh NC since many of my plants came from there... he often tells how long something has been growing at nursery. You can check his recommendations online...most of your plants (except maybe Rhubarb) I think are listed. Good luck. josh |

I don't yet have experience with these but in our climite, often the problem with tubers or bulbs in winter, are prolonged wet conditions that can occur in lower lying or heavy soil. But, sounds like these guys like water so that may not be an issue. I've wondered if mulching for cover also contributes to wet conditions for those things that will rot, so is there a mulch or method thats preferred? |

Have macrorrhiza and black magic and overwintered it on my windowsill here in Zone 5a. If your windows freeze be sure to keep the leaves of the black m. off the glass or they will look BAD. I would think yours might do ok outside there. If yours is like mine you could cut a pup for the house and keep the rest in the ground and find out. You're safe with one ea. way. :) I also have portodora and got it in early spring. It hardly grew on the window sill and then after frost I put it out where it has been an extremely slow grower as well. This fall I'm doing the houseplant thing and basement cold storage-if I have a pup I'm doing both. |
I also have portodora which grew VERY slowly this year. Not much at all. I gave them plenty of water, but I don't think it had enough sun. I have just about started everything in pots that I don't want to lose. I have heard a lot of conflicting reports on the diffrent types of colocasia. I'm leaving alot of them outside, and taking the pups I've started in. I guess I will see. Thanks for the help. |

Besides, Crawford told the caseworker, it would be a good followup to her career as a nurse. (Crawford would later claim that the original caseworker and all those who reviewed her biennial license renewals had misunderstood her words--she'd simply been a nurse's aide for a now-defunct psychiatric hospital in Walnut Creek, California. But from 1975 until 1994, Crawford never bothered to clear up her records, in which caseworkers noted variously that Crawford had been a registered nurse, a psychiatric nurse and a hospital supervisor.)
Child care might seem an unlikely career path for a woman like Wanda Crawford, who has told law enforcement officials that she received little care or nurturing from her own family. Her mother worked in a nightclub in California, Crawford told a probation officer who conducted her pre-sentence interview in Stephanie's child-abuse case. Her father was an alcoholic. And when she was still small, Crawford told the probation officer, her parents placed her in a California orphanage. (Crawford's mother, Goldie Stone, who now lives in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, declined comment for this story.)
Though she told the probation officer that she had problems with men because she was "too outspoken," Crawford married early and often. In 1979, on her fifth try at wedded bliss, she said "I do" to James Darnell, a man five years her junior who held down a civilian electrician's job at Butts Airfield at Fort Carson. Darnell moved into Crawford's home on Rushmore Drive.
In hindsight, Selina says, Darnell appeared to be cowed by his wife. "He was very passive," she says. "Wanda runs the show in that family. He does whatever she says, when she says it and how she says it.
"Wanda," she continues, "made [Darnell] sound like a blankety-blank, always putting him down and saying how stupid he was and how she had never wanted to have kids with him because he was too dumb."
But in late 1992, when Selina first came to visit, Crawford was on her best behavior, and what Selina saw impressed her. Crawford's sprawling ranch home--just five minutes from the De La Rosas' house and Selina's office--was immaculate. There was plenty of room for the children to play, both inside and out, and Crawford's fees were just $65 per week.
Selina and Troy also liked the fact that Crawford was older than some of the other daycare providers they'd spoken to. Troy calls it "the Grandma effect."
One of Selina's few concerns was that Crawford smoked cigarettes; Selina didn't want to subject her baby to secondhand smoke. Crawford assured Selina, however, that she didn't smoke around the kids, that she had two air purifiers and that she was giving up the habit, anyway.
When Crawford's references gave her glowing reviews, the De La Rosas decided they'd found the perfect place for their baby.
Selina gave birth on Christmas night, 1992. "The doctor said she was one of the healthiest babies that he'd seen in a long time," Troy testified at Crawford's trial. The infant had dark hair and doe eyes. They named her Stephanie Marie for the sole reason that they liked the name. After the nurses whisked the baby away and cleaned her up, they placed a red stocking cap on her head in honor of the holiday.
Selina's two-month maternity leave ended March 1, 1993, forcing her back to the 8-to-5 world. Troy, however, was working evenings and weekends at a northside liquor store, which meant he and his wife could split child-care duties and that Stephanie required only a sitter on a part-time basis.
"In the beginning," Selina testified at Crawford's child-abuse trial, "I thought it was nice. Her house was very clean, and the children seemed happy. When I first started taking Stephanie, I never had any indications that [she] would cry. She was fine when I dropped her off."
But things changed in early July, when Troy accepted a job as an insurance agent. His hours would be much the same as his wife's. Stephanie would have to go to Crawford's house five days a week. It was after that, the couple says, that they began noticing problems with Crawford's care.
Selina began to worry that her daughter wasn't getting enough to eat while at Crawford's; the baby wasn't gaining weight and never had dirty bibs at the end of the day. Selina knew, too, that Crawford was still smoking, despite her claims to the contrary. In addition, Stephanie was getting diaper rashes during the week. The condition would clear up over the weekends, Selina says, only to reappear after Stephanie had spent a day or two back at Crawford's.
At Crawford's trial, a former friend with whom she'd had a falling out testified about what life was like at the house on Rushmore Drive once the parents left. Gladys Richards, who lived with Crawford for a few months and sometimes served as a substitute babysitter, told the jury that Crawford seemed to care more about keeping her house clean than she did about interacting with the children. "It irritated Wanda that I would lay on the floor and play with them," Richards told the court. "She said it spoiled them." Richards also testified that when Stephanie would cry, Wanda would take her and put her in a playpen in another room and close the door. Crawford held an equally disapproving view of Selina De La Rosa--annoyed, said Richards, by Selina's habit of talking "baby talk" to her child.

I am looking for fabric to have my sofa and chair slipcovered in. I LOVE the fabrics offered by Maine Cottage but I can't afford $60/yd.

Eye Creams What Are The Ingredients That Work?
Posted for Uncategorized On February 13, 2009
Hi, One of the most popular anti-aging skin care products are Eye Creams. The skin around the eyes is delicate and fragile, therefore it's the first place to exhibit the early signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. No wonder then that women a spend a good deal of effort and money to get a good eye cream that works for themselves. And with an extensive range of eye creams available in the market, making a choice can become a daunting task. Eye creams have come to include high-tech and rare ingredients like Retinol, Vitamin C, alpha hydroxy acids etc. These ensure sufficient nutrients and prevent concerns like wrinkles and fine lines, dark circles or eye puffiness. But what works best for you is something you should know best. Therefore, spend time reading through the ingredients list on products before you decide what to buy. Eye creams have two prime aims: • Tighten the sagging skin under the eyes and thereby preventing wrinkles and fine lines Here are some powerful ingredients that you should look out for in eye creams to reduce eye puffiness, lighten the under eye dark circles and make your skin more radiant. Firming ingredients: • Caffeine and Alcohol – To temporarily dehydrate the skin and make it tighter. • Retinol, AHAs, Copper and Vitamin C – To stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers within the skin surface thereby making the skin smoother and firmer. Darkness Inhibiting Ingredients: • Vitamin K – To inhibit bruising and reduce the darkness under the eyes • Kojic acid and Hydroquinone – To lighten the skin and make it more radiant Some product suggestions: • Lumiere Bio-restorative Eye Cream – Contains a unique blend of growth factors, antioxidants and caffeine that reducesfine lines, dark circles and puffiness of eyes in as little as 6 weeks. • Obagi ELASTIderm Day Eye Gel: Contains a bi-mineral complex that cross links elastin fibers and boosts collagen production within the skin fibers. • iS Clinical C Eye Advance: Contains potent antioxidants that diminish fine lines and wrinkles and eye puffiness Sunscreens Vs. Sunblocks What Is The Difference Between Them?
Posted for Sun Tanning On February 9, 2009
Hi, Is there any difference between sunscreens and sunblocks? Yes, there is! People often use the two terms interchangeably. But they are indeed different Though both, sunscreens and sunblocks aim to protect the skin against the harmful rays, how they do it makes all the difference. Sunscreens absorb the ultraviolet radiations of the sunlight eliminating their harmful effects. When applied, it's transparent on the skin and is absorbed easily. However, it tends to break down with time and thus needs to be reapplied frequently to ensure continued protection. Some of the main ingredients included in sunscreens are PABA, avenobenzone, octocylene, salicylates and cinnamates. If you are a more technical person, I suggest you copy and paste these ingredients into Wikipedia for more technical information. Sunblocks on the other hand, reflect the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. In the past they were usually opaque on the skin and had a white look. However, some of the newer varieties are transparent. And unlike sunscreens, sunblocks don't break down for a much longer period of time and do not need to be reapplied often. they have powerful ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide that block the UVA and the UVB rays of the sunlight. There are an extensive range of sun care products in the market. Many these days have other beneficial ingredients in them that also help your skin. If you have to spend a lot of time under harsh sunlight, then you should use a good sunblock that will stay on for a long time without you having to reapply every two hours. Some of the latest varieties are more transparent so you won't have to worry about the white film on your skin. Whatever you choose, be it a sunscreen or a sunblock; make sure it provides 'broad spectrum' protection against sunlight! |

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 Harley!
Facts about Harley
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Harley's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, and up to date with shots.
Harley was found in a ditch...abandoned, hungry and injured. We took him to the vet immediately to find that he had been shot quite some time ago and the injury had healed wrong. Harley was shot and left for dead but he survived! Harley's shotgun injury left him with a bad limp. He sometimes drags his back legs and he cannot climb stairs. In spite of all that a human did to Harley, he still loves people. Harley has a strength and compassion that is unequaled! Harley is a 2 year old pit bull mix. He weighs 43.2 pounds. If you would like to share your life with Harley, please complete our adoption application at http://www.secondchancedogrescueofiowa.com . If you have questions, you can email us at email@example.com Harley's adoption fee is $175.00 which includes vet exams, rabies shot, vaccinations, heartworm test, microchipping, neutering, deworming, flea treatment and a collar. Thanks!
Other Pets at Second Chance DOG Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Harley, a Prole Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Prole, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Prole.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Prole 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 Prole 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 Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Prole paves the way for another one to be saved.

Once again, let's take a comic-book company's statement and compare it to what's being presented. Our subject this time is Bob Wayne, Senior Vice-President of Sales for DC Comics. Here's an excerpt from a letter he sent to comics retailers Tuesday:
In the time I've worked at DC Comics, I've witnessed any number of industry defining moments. But today, I bring you what is perhaps the biggest news to date.
Many of you have heard rumors that DC Comics has been working on a big publishing initiative for later this year. This is indeed an historic time for us as, come this September, we are relaunching the entire DC Universe line of comic books with all new first issues. 52 of them to be exact.
In addition, the new #1s will introduce readers to a more modern, diverse DC Universe, with some character variations in appearance, origin and age. All stories will be grounded in each character's legend – but will relate to real world situations, interactions, tragedy and triumph.
Here's the punchline: the statement was released the same day as the picture posted above: an almost all-white cast for a new Justice League comic. So right off the bat, this "more diverse" DC Universe looks like those "more colorful" NBC ads. But there's other reasons Wayne shouldn't be crowing just yet.

The Sample: Senna Glow Eye Colors in Capri, Coppertina, Cordovan, Emerald, Rose Gold & Sweet Dreams (Review, Swatches & Photos)
27 Nov
««Press Sample»»
I've mentioned Senna Cosmetics several times on this blog (see here, here, and here)–it's really an awesome brand. Every single product I've tried from Senna, I've absolutely loved. Truly. I wear their Barely Base almost every single day; for the past few weeks, I've worn their Baked Bronzer in Dawn almost exclusively on my cheeks. Their 2 Haute Nudes palettes, Sultry and Mystic, are regular go-to's of mine. And since I loved all the shadows in their palettes so much, I expected great things from their single shadows.

The mayor of Milwaukee, Wis., is being hailed as a hero after he rescued a grandmother and her young granddaughter from an attack at the state fair.
Mayor Tom Barrett was leaving the fair Saturday night when he heard a woman screaming for help. He ran to help her and started to dial 911 on his cell phone. That was when the woman's attacker turned on him with a metal pipe. But the mayor fought back and the suspect is in police custody.
"He acted like the good citizen that he is," said Chief Mike Jungbluth of the West Allis Police Department.
"Not only did he risk serious injury, but in fact endured serious injury in order to defend somebody who was weaker than their assailant."
The mayor is recovering from minor injuries and is said to be in good spirits. The woman and her 1-year-old granddaughter are at home safe and sound.

To: firstname.lastname@example.com
From: email@example.com
Dear Dad,
A quick note from the airport—before the Xanax kicks in—to say I'm sorry you couldn't come with Mom and me. But you did just have that 60th-birthday fishing trip to Montana, and there's only so much money to go around (maybe you shouldn't have retired early after all).
Love, Erik
To: email@example.com
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dear Dad,
We're having a blast. Mom and I are staying on the north shore in Kilauea at a B&B called Kai Mana. We arrived at night, interrupting the caretakers as they were watching a video—funny how people who live in paradise rent movies just like everyone else.
There are guest rooms in the main house, but we booked the one-bedroom cottage. (I'm sleeping on the floor; no reason to get Oedipal.) It's one of those buildings with so many windows it doesn't matter how the inside looks. It's owned by New Age author Shakti Gawain, and her influence shows: the bookshelf has titles like Choicemaking; Beyond Codependency; and Meditations (one of Shakti's books). She prohibits illegal substances; that got me to asking Mom if you two ever tried marijuana. She says no, but I still think those seventies country-club years were wilder than I'll ever know.
Kai Mana has a tennis court, but it's an embarrassment. There's also a Jacuzzi, which happens to be clothing-optional—as is Secret Beach, 297 steep steps down from the house. A small curve of sand under awesome cliffs, it is a stunner—we reached the bottom to find just a few tracks of footprints.
For breakfast, we've been saving money by having bananas, pineapple, and papaya from our room's fruit basket, and passion-fruit Danish from the Kilauea Bakery, a 1 1/2-mile walk from the B&B. It's not much of a town, but you get the feeling there'll be one soon. Several nifty shops have already opened: Kong Lung for high-class tchotchkes, and Island Soap & Candle Works, where Mom bought plumeria votives for her golf buddies. We loved it when the owner of Island Soap mistook us for locals (but not when he thought we were together).
Other meals have been a little more difficult. We poked into the popular Brennecke's in touristy Poipu. I'm sorry, but I didn't come all this way to have a French dip-what is it with this place and beef?There's prime rib everywhere. En route to Waimea Canyon, we passed the Camp House Grill. Mom snorted at the diners in undershirts and read from the Kauai Underground Guide—remember, the book we used as a bible when we were here in 1984?Basically, it said not to drive right by, snorting at the diners in undershirts. So of course we had to go in, but the best thing about it was the free soda refills.
Mom took a sick pleasure in the fact that there wasn't a cloud in the sky at the Waimea Canyon lookout, because when we drove up here with you it was fogged in. It's hard to believe this small island has room for something so huge. There were rock climbers across the way, but Mom left her binoculars in the room, so we couldn't really see them.
On the way back, we popped into Hanapepe, a one-street town in the southwest that feels like Hawaii in the fifties. We walked across an old swing bridge and stopped at Lappert's for Kauai Pie ice cream—with macadamia nuts, coffee, chocolate, coconut, and vanilla cake bits. I only wish I liked ice cream as much as you do, so I could've appreciated it more. Afterward, we spotted the most amazing rainbow I've ever seen. Both ends were totally visible, and each color was vivid and distinct. We drove to where it appeared to be just 20 yards from our window. Then it was gone.
Well, that's enough for now. We're about to check out, and pick a few star fruit and avocados from the mini-orchard as we go. Then we'll hit the Kilauea Lighthouse.
Love, Erik

Dear Dad,
What a crazy few days! We've moved farther along the north shore, to the Hanalei Bay Resort in Princeville. The grounds are beautiful, and as you've always said, how much time do you really spend in your room?
When we arrived at the resort, I was concerned that our car would have a better view than we did, since I'd opted for a mountain-view hotel room ($165 a night) over a garden-view ($185) or ocean-view ($237). But from our little lanai we can see the hotel's smaller, round pool, the majestic mountains, even a slice of the bay. I'm still peeved that I have to pay an extra $1.50 a day to use the room safe—it's the principle, as I've heard you say a million times.
Mom and I headed straight to the Happy Talk Lounge-much of South Pacific was filmed around here, and no one lets you forget it. Everyone else got two free drinks for listening to the concierge's spiel about what to do on the island. Fat chance of us whoring ourselves out like that!
(The lighthouse, by the way, was dull. They had nerve charging $2 to stand at the edge of a cliff and look at birds. You can't even go inside.)
The next morning, Mom decided to whore herself out after all-listening to the concierge for a half-off coupon at a restaurant famous for its prime rib. A woman from another hotel came over and admired her wedding ring. "Are you here with your husband?" she asked. Mom said no. Only if you were with her could she go on the time-share tour—and get $50 cash. Apparently women can't buy real estate on their own. Mom got ticked later while sitting on the beach. After playing tennis with the bay in the background and swimming in the grotto pool, we managed to forget the sexist little policy.
We'd planned to eat breakfasts in our room again, but the guidebook (not the bible, a different one) had made me think we'd have a kitchenette; we did not. You'd have been proud: I called housekeeping for a knife and plates, and we ate the pineapple we'd bought at a farmers' market—a bunch of cars and trucks backed into a circle, with people selling stuff off the backs—and some muffins from the Kilauea Bakery. We hid everything so the maid wouldn't take it away.

Consoling Stressed Skin
By: Rebecca James Gadberry
Posted: June 29, 2009, from the July 2009 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 4
Because most don't think of stress as having anything more to do with skin than its well-known connection to acne, its impact is often missed on those who don't suffer from the skin disease. This is especially true nowadays with stress levels at record highs and caring for health at record lows. All the measures taken to keep yourself in shape, such as eating healthy and exercising, goes by the wayside when chronic, unrelenting stress enters your life. You feel out of control—drinking too much, eating the wrong things, not getting enough sleep—all of which exacerbate stress instead of helping regain the balance that is craved.
Yet, say psychologists, that's exactly the time a routine of personal care should be adhered to that really is, well, personal. You need to eat your veggies, steer clear of sugar and empty carbs, take moments to focus inward, paced with slow, gut-level breaths, maintain your skin care routine and be sure to make quality time for family, friends and, most sacred of all, yourself.
Stress and touch
To anyone who's watched a tightly wound client lie down on a massage table then listened as the snores of deep sleep overtake the person receiving a relaxing touch, it comes as no surprise that touch lowers stress. Studies show that those who don't have friends or family in daily life—who don't have anyone at all to touch or be touched by—feel more out of control and suffer stress-related illnesses at higher rates than those who do.3 The elderly, widowed, divorced and people who are at odds with their spouses or children are especially susceptible because they don't just lack the touch of someone who cares, they frequently feel unloved, unwanted and unattractive. They have the worst kind of stress, and perhaps the most common: feeling abandoned and not knowing how to revive their connections with other people. This is especially true with older members of society. Oddly, feelings of aloneness are often emphasized by a lack of oxytocin, the bonding hormone that's triggered most simply by a caring touch.
Oxytocin is what University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) psychologist Shelley Taylor, PhD, says underlies women's need to "tend and befriend" during times of stress, opening them up to deeper connections with those around them, reducing the fear of being alone and even lowering blood pressure and heart rate.2 At least one UCLA study has shown that women release this hormone when they're simply in an environment with other women.4 Although the study was conducted on women who worked in the same office, it's not too far of a stretch to expect this stress-reducing hormone will be released when women enter the cocooning atmosphere of a spa, or are touched by a caring esthetician or massage therapist during a treatment. That said, it is important to make sure your touch is more caring than cursory, more gentle than clinical. You need to show you truly care for the people who place themselves in your care.
As one esthetician recently told me, "We need to remember that we're often the only person who touches a client. During these times where so many of our clients are suffering from intense stress and feelings of loneliness or abandonment, we need to build touch into every phase of our facials, extending beyond massaging the face and neck to making sure we give everyone that extra hand and foot massage while a mask is drying, even if it's not included in the price of the treatment."

Great for the Money
Very nice and durable backpack.
I needed a nice bag for everyday activities and to carry a laptop and this bag is awesome. The price is outstanding since a lot of similar bags were around $70-100.
So far I have yet to be let down by an Analog purchase and this bag just adds to their already stellar track record with me.
I'll have to upload a picture of the inside, since it has a nice space scene/ angel in an astronauts helmet artwork.

Flagstaff police pursuit caught on tape
FLAGSTAFF, AZ - A driver was so drunk he slammed into two marked police cruisers, Flagstaff police said.
Leland Begay, 50, of Tonalea, was arrested by officers on Jan. 14. The video of the chase was just released to ABC15.
The videos come from a Coconino County Sheriff's deputy and a Flagstaff police officer's dash-cameras.
The suspect's car is seen driving the wrong way when the deputy initially tries to pull him over.
After several minutes, the driver continues to act as if the deputy's cruiser is not behind him, even though the deputy has his lights and sirens on.
Eventually, the driver speeds up though downtown.
At that point, the deputy stops the pursuit until it is deemed safe.
Several other police vehicles start following the suspect and even block his path, but the driver jumps a curb and bypasses the blockade.
"He just rear-ended me," said one officer who can be heard in the video.
Begay was charged with aggravated DUI, endangerment, aggravated assault and a number of other charges stemming from this incident, police said in a news release.

Beautiful invitations
Soft and Sweet Rectangle Invitations Beautiful invitations and RSVP cards. You can't go wrong with the design. However, take note that the pearlescence paper is really slick and when I tried to stick stamps on the RSVP postcards, I had to use extra glue to keep them down. This also happened on the pearlescent envelopes when I used labels. The labels would curl up and I had to put extra weight on them for a day or two before they would stay.
Very pleased
Soft and Sweet Rectangle Invitations The cards arrived quickly in a lovely box. I am very happy with what we received!
Great customization and service!
Soft and Sweet Tea-length Invitations We loved how easy it was to customize the design to our needs, and the ability to make specialized requests. We asked that our wedding website be placed on the back of the invitations and they did it perfectly. We also liked that you get a real person when you call with any requests. Smaller increments would have been nice (10 instead of 25), although we could have called to ask if they could accommodate a different amount. That is our only issue, though. The quality is great, much higher than I was originally expecting, but the service is what really made it a special experience. Plus, the invitations were packaged so beautifully! We have already recommended MagnetStreet to friends.
Soft and Sweet Tea-length Invitations I wouldn't recomend any other site but this! Very easy to use! You can personalize everything just the way u want it from the colors to lettering!
loved the invitations
Soft and Sweet Rectangle Invitations I was a little worried ordering online without having time to get a sample in. The card turned out perfect. Looked exactly like on the computer and they were able to make the extra little changes I asked for. I was a little rushed to get them and though they weren't able to rush the order we did get them in great timing. Couldn't have been happier with the invitation, the quality was awesome. Would definitely recommend Magnet Street and order from them again. Thanks!

Search for HotelsTop Destinations:
Here are a few of the hotel chains and travel sites we search for the best hotel deals...
Where to Stay in AucklandAuckland's urban region spans a large portion of land and two bodies of water, the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea. Throughout this metropolitan area, you will find a wide assortment of lodging options, from large international hotel chains to small up-scale boutiques to quaint bed and breakfasts. If you're traveling for business or want to be in the center of town, stay in Auckland's Central Business District. This commercial heart of the city is home to the majority of Auckland's high-rise hotels and luxury boutiques. If you're looking for a more intimate stay, consider one of the many inns or bed and breakfasts located in the suburb of Devonport. Located on the end of a peninsula on the North Shore, Devonport is a charming harbor town popular among boaters. It's easily accessible from Auckland via ferry. There are also a number of hotels near the Viaduct Basin, a popular nightlife spot that features a number of upscale restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Auckland Hotel TipsBecause Auckland is located in the Southern Hemisphere, its seasons are the opposite of those in the U.S. The warmest months and the city's peak tourist season lasts from December through April. During this time, temperatures reach the low 70s, and the beaches see an influx of visitors. If you're planning your trip for this season, search for affordable hotel rates in advance because accommodations can fill up fast. July through October is Auckland's winter. Although the temperatures aren't too uncomfortable, with lows in the 40s, the wintertime does see a large amount of rain. However, this is the perfect time to find cheap flights to Auckland and the best hotel rates. Plus, even if the weather is uncooperative, New Zealand has a tremendous amount of indoor attractions to entertain you throughout your trip. Auckland Hotel RecommendationsFrom luxury high-rise hotels to family-owned B&Bs, Auckland offers an interesting mix of accommodations. For the height of opulence, book reservations at the five-star SKYCITY Grand Hotel. With its central location in the middle of Auckland City, SKYCITY Grand Hotel is the ideal destination for discriminating business travelers and pleasure seekers. Guest rooms are ultra modern and decorated with contemporary furnishings. The hotel features a full-service day spa as well as an award-winning restaurant run by internationally renowned chef Peter Gordon. The fitness center features a heated lap pool, a sauna and a spa pool. Surrounding the hotel is the SKYCITY entertainment complex, which features a 24-hour casino, restaurants, bars, cafes and a theater. Head to the North Shore for a relaxing, quiet stay at the Peace and Plenty Inn. This exquisite bed an breakfasts places guests in a restored Victorian villa along the beautiful Devonport waterfront. Each room possesses its own unique charm and is furnished with antique decor and comfortable furniture. In addition to its lavish gourmet breakfasts, the inn offers complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits. Rates dip during the low season from May through September, so consider booking your trip during Auckland's winter for the best prices. Younger travelers looking for a real deal should check out the Base Auckland Backpackers. One of many backpacking hostels in Auckland, this facility has a location that can't be beat. Situated in the heart of Auckland City, the hostel provides amazing access to all of urban Auckland's best attractions. Guests have options of shared rooms with bunk beds or private rooms with private baths. Those looking for a cup of coffee can venture to the hostel's public lounge, which boasts an Internet cafe. At night, head downstairs to the Globe Bar. Popular among college students, this backpackers' watering hole hosts a range of activities from pool to live DJs to poker. Auckland TransportationBecause the Auckland region is so spread out, the area has a robust transportation system to help travelers venture from one end to the other. Auckland's bus system is popular among tourists, who can easily catch a ride to one of the city's major tourist attractions. Bust stops are usually no more than a few minutes away, and popular buses run at least every 15 minutes. Train is another option, though Auckland only sports four rail lines that provide limited access to the city's outer suburbs. Because of the city's location next to two bodies of water, ferries are a popular mode of transport. Travelers can catch a ferry near downtown Auckland up to the region's North Shore. If you are planning on venturing outside Auckland's city center, you may want to consider renting a car. If you'd rather not drive, you can always hail a cab. |

The most gorgeous beige lavender shimmer that looks like its got specks of nutmeg in! It is barely visible, but it's there. Once on, the polish has a silver sheen. Applies nicely and one coat is sheer and two coats is perfect. A third would probably be great too. It truly is a polish you can wear any way you want. This is one of the most beautiful OPIs in my opinion, I just got it and am thrilled. So very pretty.

I love this color, it's my favorite for sure! Too bad it's discontinued though. You have to wear 3 coats if you don't want a sheer look, but two is fine for me. I love it because the color seems to change with the lighting. So pretty. :3

This is a perfect neutral. Just the right amount of sheen, looks so sophisticated.

You're A Doll is from Holiday in Toyland in 2008. This color is a special edition that's why I believe it has been discontinued. It's mauve/grey pink color with a strong purple and brown tone. It's actually quite unique. It has lots of red shimmer and a silver shine sheen on top. It's actually very pretty on my olive/tan skin tone.
It takes about 2 coats to be opaque but I guess if you give three coat will be perfect. It really is a flattering color and will definitely buy it again.

This polish isn't my favorite, but it is a very unique color. As another reviewer stated, this is light pink/lilac color with reddish/copper glitter specks; though you can't notice the glitter unless you're closely looking at the polish. Very cute overall. Application is great also. Not sure if I'd repurchase, but it's worth trying.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
You're A Doll is such a beautiful, unique natural polish. The colour is very unique, it can look gray-ish, pink-ish, and in some lights it even has a hint of lavender. I like to put on 3 coats, it applies very smooth and lasts several days before beginning to chip. It is a netural shade, but still has a bit of "oomph" to it. It is one of my all time favourite natural polish shades for my nails, I would definitely re-purchase!
Love the color, a soft mauve-grey with subtle copper flecks. It's feminine yet a tad edgy--not Essie-pink, but like putty Looks good sheer or opaque. Since I hate high maintenance nails, I usually wear one coat for a sheer finish. Formula is very nice--smooth and not thick.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This shade is a shimmery pinky grey. It is very sheer, and requires 3 coats for a near opaque look. It's an okay shade, but nothing I reach for often.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a lovely polish that gives a very 'finished' look to my nails. The formula was very smooth, the colour is sheer but very buildable. I wore it with three coats and that left just a hint of my nail line visible, so you could probably put another coat on.
It looks like a very light mauvy pink colour with a delicate silver shimmer, and then when the light hits it, you can see the large coppery specks in it.
It's a great neutral, but with some interest.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this colour is just cute:) i bought it last year before xmas and i yhink it is one of the best muted taupish-pinks i've ever had.. if i don't want french nails or my dark signature colurs i just this one.. the colour is so exquisite so complex that a simple pink will not describe ir. as i have neutral skin that tends to look cooler sometimes this colour looks good, really good.. unfortunately it is LE but if you are lucky yuo can get it in some outlets.. worth to buy

one of the best smelling lotion i have...whenever i think about VS lotions this scent is the first one that comes to my mind because this was my 1st VS lotion scent. But beware not to use VS lotions in direct sunlight because it will darken your skin.. so i only used this at night, especially when going to bed because it has an aromatic scent that helps me fall asleep easily :)

This is my first VS lotion and it will not be my last. I was surprised by how much I liked this. I also got the spray for this but do not like that as much as it has a more shallow,synthetic feel to it. I don't have dry skin so I can't attest to this lotion's moisturizing properties, but it has a nice/ non-greasy texture. I really like the concept of layering scents so will try more products from VS as they affordable.

Personally I don't understand all the good reviews on here, but after reading them, I realized people are reviewing the smell, not the lotion itself. Yes, it does smell good, but this is the fragrance every one and their grandmother wore in middle school. As a lotion, this stuff is absolute crap. I usually get dry patches on my arms in the winter, so I use any type of BBW body cream I can get my hands on to combat them. Then my sister gave me a bottle of this stuff, so I decided to use it. Worst body lotion ever! It's incredibly thin and watery, the scent didn't last, and it made my dry patches come back even worse! Plus, the first two ingredients are water and mineral oil...definitely not a high quality product. Don't buy this crap!! It does nothing!

love spell will forever be my favorite victoria's secret scent! it smells amazing...very fruity (like peaches!) and flowery but mostly fruity. this is my main scent that i wear. i don't like the body mists of this because my body chemistry doens't react well with those. that being said, the reason i didn't give the product 5 stars is because i dislike the way love spell smells when i first put it on (weird)! it smells really sour, strong, and like air freshener. but after a while when it combines with my body chemistry the smell is amazing!! i can't really describe it but on my skin it smells so different than in the bottle! this is the only lotion that does that with me though haha. but guys love when i wear this. i remember in high school i was wearing the lotion and this football player sitting next to and said, "something smells good!"he started sniffing and smelled me and was like,"it's you!" then he announced loudly to the whole class,"hey! she smells good!!" it was pretty embarrassing but flattering at the same time :]

I love this product. It smells wonderful. I use it everyday when I get out of the shower. The bottle says "Hydrating Body Lotion. Cherry Blossom, Peach, and White Jasmine" And, my gosh. I can't live without this lotion. The first bottle I used, my mom gave it to me because I liked it so much. And I ran out of that, so I bought myself another one. It smells flowery, but with a pinch of fruitness..which I love. Ugh, I can't explain it enough, so go buy it! I also think that Love Spell is the best scent from Victoria's Secret's line : Secret Garden. This lotion smells good for the whole night even into the morning sometimes. Now my skin isn't dry anymore. Woohoo for Victoria's Secret!

DH (age 74, tomorrow) is still playing tennis and he's part of a very large group of what I call the "geezer players". There is a fellow who has a data base of about 1,000 players in the Bay Area. He schedules the players three times a week.
Yesterday, DH received a S.O.S. email saying that one of the members needed a hip replacement and he wanted to know if anyone had info in how to resume tennis after a hip replacement.

Passion is how some of us get through life. Just sayin'. |
I had a hip replaced last Aug. I wouldnt try tennis or sking or running EVER AGAIN. All are high on the list of risks for dislocating the new joint Too much pain and too long of a recovery time to risk going through the surgery again due to dislocation. |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Thu, May 5, 11 at 1:32
It's wonderful that he is thinking about playing afterwards, but I have a feeling that once it's done, he's going to see the wisdom of getting his exercise in just watching the others play. He may the one in a million that could breeze through the whole thing. Let's hope he's smart enough to take it easy. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Thu, May 5, 11 at 17:46
It would be interesting to be able to follow his recovery but we don't know him and hubby never played tennis with him. I wish him the best of luck and I hope he will hear that satisfying "twak" when the ball hits the sweet spot. BTW, we have a friend who is 94 yo and he plays tennis every day. |

A Clinton County woman was killed Wednesday morning in a single-vehicle crash.
State troopers said 30-year-old Jessica Howard, of Ohio, lost control on ice-covered state Route 72 shortly after 8 a.m. and drove off the road.
The 2001 Jeep Wrangler struck a ditch and overturned, throwing Howard from the vehicle.
Her 5-year-old son was in a child safety seat and was alert and responsive when emergency crews arrived, troopers said.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.

Would anyone here be able to tell me the title of this book given the small cover image I've attached? If so, my thanks as I'd like to track it down again after missplacing it in my youth. I was fortunate to stumble upon the image again recently and figured I'd better find out the title before I lose track of it.
Thanks folks!
Thanks folks!

Maryland Terrapins (21-7)
@Virginia Tech Hokies (21-7)
Saturday, February 27
Cassell Coliseum
Attendance: 9,847
Virginia Tech
Blacksburg, VA (Sports Network) - Greivis Vasquez poured in a career-high 41 points, as the Maryland Terrapin outlasted the Virginia Tech Hokies, 104-100, in double-overtime of an ACC clash at Cassell Coliseum.
Vasquez finished the game with seven boards and six assists, as Maryland (21-7, 11-3 ACC) won its fifth game in a row. Sean Mosley added 17 points and seven boards, while Eric Hayes notched a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists.
Malcolm Delaney guided VT (21-7, 8-6) in defeat with 27 points and five helpers. Jeff Allen turned in a double-double of 25 points and 15 rebounds, while Dorenzo Hudson tallied 21 points. J.T. Thompson added 15 points and nine boards, as the Hokies suffered their third straight loss. The Hokies also lost for the firs time in 15 home games.
Both teams shot just over 37 percent from the floor in the opening half, with VT holding a 37-31 advantage at the break.
Maryland rallied in the second half and held an 82-80 lead after a jumper by Hayes with six seconds left. Delaney, however, had an answer, as he converted a bucket as time expired to send the game into overtime.
In the first overtime, Hayes tied the score at 89-89 on two free throws with 41 seconds left and neither team was able to capitalize the rest of the way.
The Terps made seven free throws over the final 37 seconds of the second overtime, as they emerged with the four-point win.
This evening's game was delayed three hours due to a water main break.

Riddles me this, peoples: Last Sundee I went for a kinda leisurely ride with a few newbie/part-time riders, whoms I don't really know very well.
Two of the guys are 'normal', with demanding full-time jobs, a wife and young kids. These 2 guys were given a 2-hour leave pass from their missuseses for the Sundee ride, 25 minutes of which we spent sitting in a coffee shop talking shit -- and most of this time they spoke about how they were struggling to get fit enough and struggling to find enough time to ride.
Is this normal for normal people? :-)

I love olives. I've never met an olive I didn't like except, perhaps, straight from the tree. Whatever you do, don't eat an olive straight off the tree! But, I love olives.
I grew up in the middle of California, in olive county. Yes, Spain, Italy and Greece may be known for their bold and flavorful olives but if you've ever popped open a can of black olives from the supermarket, chances are it came from California!
I'm sure there are olive snobs out there that turn their noses up at the canned variety. It's true that they are nothing like 'real' olives, but canned olives have their place. On American pizza, for instance. Or Nana's tamale pie. And when you're a kid, it's fun to stick them on the ends of all your fingers and then eat them one by one. Continue reading →

Being a successful skin care professional and spa owner is not easy. But then again, it's not supposed to be. In fact, being successful in anything should never be easy and if it is, then you're probably not doing it right. A very good friend and colleague that I highly respect recently forwarded me some excellent insight on this line of thinking from Dan Waldschmidt, a business strategist and author of the blog "Edgy Conversations." It's called "19 Hard Things You Need to Do to Be Successful," and each one serves to motivate you toward being the most successful version of yourself.
I don't know about you, but I feel motivated! Life is hard. There will be tears and frustration and sadness and loss, guaranteed—but in the end, it's how you handle yourself in the midst of the madness.
Have you lived your life with integrity so when the hard times come, you have friends, family and colleagues to hold your hand and help carry the load? This is my definition of success.
Every day, you make the choice about how to live your life. Things aren't always easy and pleasant—in fact, perfect days are very rare—so enjoy your small victories, your loud laughs, and the feeling of love swelling in your heart when these moments happen. And make the choice to do the hard things, because, as Waldschmidt says: "Those are the things that define you."
Until next time,
Cathy Christensen

He may have lost the Oscar to Sean Penn, but Johnny Depp hasn't lost his ability to captivate and charm an audience with his decidedly offbeat film choices, from his neurotic detective in "Sleepy Hollow" to the Keith-Richards-like Captain Jack Sparrow in last summer's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl." This week's "Secret Window" is a Stephen King adaptation served up by filmmaker David Koepp, who wrote the screenplay for "Spider-Man," and it's far more "Christine" than "Pet Sematary" thanks to the picky actor's presence. MTV's Ryan J. Downey caught up with Depp to talk about his impending reunion with the similarly eccentric Tim Burton, his new tattoo and what turns him off when someone hands him a screenplay.

Practice Page
This year the U10 girls will be learning a lot of new things with soccer. For the returning players we will continue working on our foot skills controlling the ball and the seven moves from last year. We will also be adding a few new moves for them to work on. My goal is to have videos on our page with each of the moves we work on week to week. This way if they want to practice at home they can be sure they're doing them correctly.
