I love this foundation. It gives a medium to full coverage and does not feel heavy or cakey. I have normal sensitive skin, and when I break out I don't like to use concealer so I can let my face breath a little. This gives enough coverage where I don't have to use concealer. I feel the best application is MACs 130 brush. It's dense enough to hold the product but like the 187 it spreads and buffs the foundation on flawlessly. I find the 187 is too loose to spread foundation and the 190 puts too much on. You don't need to set this with powder if you want the dewy look.
I so wanted to like this. I does not work for me. I am an NC 30-35. The 30 was too light, the 35 looks orange on me. It's too heavy, too thick, sinks into lines. Actually, I bought and returned this once before. I buy so many foundations that I forgot why I returned it, now I remember. I also bought and returned that over priced brush they promoted to use with it. I bought this again because I want a compact foundation with mirror to carry in my purse. It's not happening.
I was not thrilled with the packaging either. I tap the button to open the foundation and the bottom sponge compartment pops open. Very annoying but I could live with it if I loved the product.

Ok so i've only just bought this product, so I'm going to comment what I've seen in one use.
Coverage: medium to full, I used this foundation with a stippling brush with a light hand, and I see perfect skin in the mirror! lovely texture, more creme-to-powder than normal creme foundations. lovely feel on skin. Not greasy in the least.
Color: my color is NW15. Yes. I'm that pale..the color blends perfectly into my skin and doesn't seem to change during the day
Price: payed 33 euros, madness! far too expensive for the empty pockets of a post.grad student! but i'm entitled to a little treat now and then, don't you agree?
Repurchase: maybe not because of the price, but this foundation is wonderfull!
Will update once I've used it more and I'm taking a lippie away for the price.
I was one of the lucky people that saw this foundation at the MAC counter, and they happened to have my color in stock (NC20, I'm usually NC20-25). The MA told me they have been out of it for months, due to popular demand.. and I now know why! The coverage you get makes your face look flawless.. it is not a heavy foundation either! I would advise to moisturize ahead of time (I get some dry flakes prior to applying cream type foundation if I don't! My skin is dryyy!) and you will get flawless coverage with a sponge, fingers, or a duo fibre brush! You will still need to use concealer on those problem spots, but other than that, you will look fantastic. I finish off with mineralize skinfinish in medium. This has not broken me out. the other mineralize foundation (with the pump) broke me out and I don't usually break out anymore! Anyway, I don't use this foundation every day because my skin is pretty clear, but I think putting saran wrap/press and seal wouldn't be a bad idea to prevent it from drying out! Love love love!

This is my HG. I have been looking for something good for my skin and not matte. I tried the select tint and liked it but it slid on my face. This stays put and doesn't oxidize. I have oily combination and very large pores. Cream foundation works good for this skin type. i also love studio tech for pictures and going out. nc40's should get the nc40 in this despite the mac artists insist on getting a lighter color. if you try to get a lighter color you'll end up orange. this is darker b/c its mineral makeup and should blend into your skin. another thing, i wear avon primer underneath and the Mac blot in medium dark, but if i don't this will slip and cake around the t-zone.

This has become my all time favorite foundation. The color match is dead on. The best color match for me in any Mac foundation. I am a nw50 and I am hard to match. I love the flawless look this foundation gives me. I have normal to oily skin but I have not had problems out of shine. I put this on in the morning and I look just as polished at the end of the day. I use a FF oil control powder on top or my MSF in deep dark depending on the look I am going for. With the MSF I do have to blot about twice during the day. With my FF oil control powder I do not have to blot at all. I get excellent coverage. I don't like a heavy coverage ( like to see my skin, just more even) so I don't build this foundation up but the MA said that it is buildable. Please try!!

This is the best foundation I've ever used! I have dry skin and most foundations I've used are either too heavy or leave my skin looking dry and flaky. This is very smooth, creamy and easy to apply. I usually apply it using the MAC foundation brush (190) but, even when I use the sponge that comes in the compact, it goes on very nicely and it's easy to blend. I can control the amount of coverage and it says on for a long time, keeping my skin looking fresh and moist. It's nevery cakey and it's very natural looking. The packaging is great. I travel alot and it's much easier to travel with this compact than it is to travel with a liquid foundation. I use NC30 which perfect for my medium/light skin. I finally found the perfect foundation!

I <3 this foundation. I have flawless skin most of the time and I don't need a very opaque foundation. This works wonders for when I am in a hurry or just want some light coverage. When I do get blemishes I just use my MAC concealer and I'm good to go! A MAC makeup artist recommended this to me with my dry skin and I have and will repurchase. I don't think it is my HG foundation but I like it and will keep using it until I find something better. It is super creamy and I apply it with my MAC 190 foundation brush and blend it out with a sponge and set it with my MSF natural.
Since I already have the MAC Skin fix NC40 powder, I thought I'd get a MAC foundation as I'm currently using Lancome Photogenic Lumessence. The SA at the counter applied it on me and I got sold to it. Unfortunately, when I started using it (it's winter now), I noticed that my foundation becomes cakey at the end of the day. My T zone was also oily.
The packaging was ok. It comes in the same package as their compact powders so you get a sponge underneath the cream. What I did discover was that the foundation in a compact package was about AUD 10 more expensive than the one in a bottle with a pump. The justification, according to the SA, was that the compact was more travel friendly.
I just got this and have only used it a couple of times, so this may be premature, but I absolutely adore this!! I apply it over well moisturized skin, 'cause I'm dry, then a little of L'Oreal's Studio Finish Primer. I use the Sonia Kashuk version of the Beauty Blender sponge, and I've gotten SO MANY compliments already!!! My face doesn't feel oily and heavy, and best of all for me - not dry!! It gives a nice glow without being sparkley. I'm an NC30 for my med-to-med/light complexion, and it's perfect. LOVE ♥♥♥!!! (BTW, I also just got and equally love Bobbi Brown's Antigua Bronzer that I use as a blush. It's really beautiful, too, and compliments the foundation very nicely!)

Miller: Quinn irritating legislators over university board moves
By Rich Miller www.thecapitolfaxblog.com March 24, 2013 7:30PM
Updated: April 26, 2013 6:29AM
A recent meeting between Metro East legislators and Gov. Pat Quinn's staff turned heated at times, and as a result nothing was accomplished in the standoff over Quinn's appointments to the Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees.
The governor's three appointments to SIU's board were unanimously rejected by the Senate in late February — the first time anybody I've talked to can ever remember that happening. But the governor has doubled down instead of compromising.
Quinn replaced three members with close ties to the university's Edwardsville campus, which is near St. Louis. For years, governors have followed a "gentleman's agreement" regarding the university board, giving the Edwardsville campus three of its seven members. The governor appoints all seven with the Senate's approval.
That agreement has coincided with explosive growth at the formerly backwater campus, so locals are loathe to go back to the old days of being treated as the redheaded stepchild of SIU's Carbondale campus. Just one of Quinn's appointments had connections to Metro East, a complete unknown who applied for the trustee post on the Internet.
The Metro East legislators want Quinn to back off his choices, and they want to make sure that Roger Herrin is not reinstated as board chairman.
Quinn engineered Herrin's election as chairman a couple years back, but he was later ousted in a coup orchestrated by SIU President Glenn Poshard and replaced with famed Metro East trial lawyer John Simmons. Simmons was, in turn, ousted by Quinn last month.
The area's legislators want to make Edwardsville School Supt. Ed Hightower the new SIU board chairman. Hightower, who is black, was also removed from the board by Quinn, a move that has been sharply attacked by the local NAACP and area black ministers.
But the governor is flatly refusing to back down, which led to some heated moments in that recent meeting, with at least two Democratic legislators raising their voices and denouncing the governor's tactics.
And Quinn told reporters last week that he appointed "three good people, excellent people" and believes the Senate "needs to take another look at these excellent appointees."
"I don't think they treated the taxpayers of Illinois and the people who believe in education very well," Quinn said of the Senate's action. "The governor appoints people, and I appointed three people who I thought were good, so I'll keep working on that."
The Illinois Constitution prohibits Quinn from reappointing the three rejected trustees. A resolution from the Senate "requesting" that Quinn renominate them would be required before they could be appointed to the university board. That appears unlikely at best.
The SIU controversy has spawned payback legislation and spread to other universities as well.
Sen. Bill Haine (D-Alton) has introduced legislation requiring that at least three members of the SIU board be from the Metro East, with another three from the Carbondale area and the seventh from Sangamon County. SIU has a medical school in Springfield. The bill appears to be picking up steam.
University of Illinois boosters have grumbled for the past few years that Quinn has gone way outside the university's environs for his trustee picks.
So Sen. Michael Frerichs (D-Urbana) moved a bill out of committee last week that would allow the U of I Alumni Association to pick five of the university's nine trustees. State Sen. Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) is supporting the bill, as is the powerful alumni association.
And senators are awaiting word on what Quinn plans to do about the growing controversy at Chicago State University. Some Quinn-appointed trustees have pushed to oust CSU President Wayne Watson, and some of those are up for reappointment. They are surely facing a tough confirmation fight as well.
Watson has irked many at the university with an aggressive management style that, while showing some significant results for the school, has ruffled some powerful local feathers. But he has backing in the Senate, so another fight is almost guaranteed unless Quinn heeds the warning signs.
Yes, the governor "appoints people," as Quinn says. But he does so in these cases only with the advice and consent of the Senate.
You'd think in an era where Quinn needs as much help as possible solving the pension funding crisis and the state's busted budget, he would try to avoid openly antagonizing legislators and wasting valuable energy and time over stupid stuff like university board appointments.
Instead, he's angering and alienating the very people he needs to help resolve Illinois' serious financial crisis.

Is it possible to tell the sex of the occupant by looking at its chrysalis? |

I have gotten pretty good at telling the sex after the chrysalis has become clear(thickness of wing veins), but I've never heard of this being done with a green chrysalis. I think they all look the same but i guess there could be a subtle difference...experts? I did learn from the forums this summer you can tell the sex of a monarch with it's wings closed because the dot on the males wing is visible....never noticed that before. Tony |
All depends on which species of lepidoptera you want to sex. I do it all the time for the saturnids I raise. You can do it for GSTs. I'm sure there are many others. |

Hi. We need to put floors down for about 1300 square feet. I think part of the house is over slab. We had looked at pergo xp but unsure about home depot. Does anyone have any suggestions for a real sounding/looking laminate? We would also consider an engineered hardwood. We have 3 kids and 2 dogs so we would like something super durable. Thanks- |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just ordered 1200 sq ft of Quick Step laminate. Hope it looks and sounds OK! I looked a lot at XP at Home Depot but couldn't find a color or texture that I really liked. Some look very good to me and others very fake. I am going over a slab and wanted a floating floor. My dogs scratch up the regular oak floors in my current home. Not sure they won't do the same to the laminate but I am giving it a try in a big way. I opted not for engineered hardwood because of my dogs. |
Thanks-what color did you get? Im looking for a darker wood I think |
THat was my problem with XP was the ones that I thought looked the most realistic were more amber in color then I wanted to go. I wanted a brown. I went with Rustique Toasted Hickory. I really wanted their premium grade for thickness and hopefully quality but I could not find one that I liked so the Rustique is the next level down. Saved a lot of money though so if it doesn't wear or I don't like it down the road it is replaceable. Ordered it online and saved alot there too and am pickiing it up at the Quick Step distributor in my area so no shipping. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Tue, Jul 3, 12 at 10:30
Realistic looking is everywhere. Realistic sounding is no where. All of it will have a more hollow sound than regular glued down or nailed down hardwood. All of it. Even with the absolute best sound muffling underlayment. You will still hear the difference, although if you spend enough on cork underlayment or Floormuffler, it will be much less than the typical thock thock hollow sound that all floating floors have. If realistic sounding is your goal, then choose something else. |
Holly is right. Mine is realistic looking and I bought the highest grade underlayment the store had. It still doesn't sound the same. Check the link to my kitchen, I have the Shaw Natural Values with the wider planks. I really like it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Kitchen (check out the floor)
My friend put laminate over cement slab. It sounds like you are walking on a cheap plastic floor. Her little dogs nails make a constant click-click noise when he walks. We put laminate from Costco (Harmonics) in our finished basement over a insulated subfloor and it is completely silent! |

HUTTON: Jefferson crosses the line from East Chicago to Gary to take Roosevelt job
August 30, 2013 11:30PM
Hutton, Michael 2004 Post-Tribune sportswriter Michael Hutton
Updated: October 1, 2013 6:53AM
In the book of rules for hiring basketball coaches in East Chicago and at Gary Roosevelt — a book that exists only in the proud, stubborn hearts of the men who graduated from schools in those cities and who grew up pounding a basketball on the cracked concrete that surrounded those school buildings — the most important rule was that you hire one of your guys.
Always. No excuses.
The invisible line was real.
There was no sacred creed that spelled out the code, hidden in some vault in the dark recesses of the schools.
It was talked about in hushed tones in dark rooms with the various power brokers — the guys who made the call — and always followed religiously.
In the proud history of Roosevelt, they have had six coaches: Bo Mallard, Jim Dowdell, Ron Broome, Larry McKissack, Renaldo Thomas and Marcus Jefferson.
Only Broome and now Jefferson, who was hired last month, didn't have Gary roots.
Broome might as well have been granted an honorary Roosevelt degree.
He was Heflin's assistant for 21 years, helping him win the state championship in 1991. He was definitely an adopted son.
At East Chicago Central, the only coaches that have walked the sidelines since East Chicago Washington and East Chicago Roosevelt consolidated were EC guys.
John Todd, Bobby Miles, Pete Trgovich and Abe Brown.
This is how things were done, until last month.
A.J. Rodriguez, before he left Roosevelt, where he was apparently the athletic director ( I say apparently because in the last conversation I had with him, after he fired Thomas, there was some ambiguity about who the AD was), he hired Jefferson, an East Chicago guy, to coach there. Rodriguez has EC blood, having coached the football team there.
It was a move that has irritated some of the hard core Roosevelt alumni — an EC guy hiring an EC guy — and then leaving for a job at Morton, where Rodriguez is now working. This, after a Roosevelt guy, Thomas, was fired. In their view, it's just a bad way to do business, particularly when you factor in the intensity of the rivalry on the court between the two schools and the fact that EC would never seriously consider a Gary guy if the head job were to open up.
This is just how it goes.
There are several conflicting thoughts swirling through my mind about Jefferson and the new gig.
The kids don't care who the coach was last year or 50 years ago. They just want to play and be coached.
It doesn't matter where he played — he is the kind of coach and educator who will represent the school well.
It's no longer Gary Roosevelt High School — it's Theodore Roosevelt College and Career Academy and it's run by a for profit corporation, not the Gary Community School Corp. The people that run the place aren't burdened by the constraints of the past.
No matter what anyone says, it's still uncomfortable and Rodriguez should've stuck around for a season to help usher Jefferson in.
Jefferson actually graduated from a prep school out east, leaving EC after his junior year. He played college basketball at Providence and Iowa State before returning to Northwest Indiana. He is a capable, engaging young coach with a bright future.
He worked for four seasons as an assistant at Lake Central under Dave Milausnic.
He was hired at Roosevelt not just to coach but to run a program to combat the high rates of truancy that the school has to deal with.
Jefferson knows the climate of the place and he has an answer for any open-minded person.
"They have had three coaches in the past five years," he said. "I worked with Glenn Robinson III. It comes down to who is most credible for the job. It doesn't matter where I reside. As far as I'm concerned, everyone that is a Roosevelt alum is welcome back to be part of the tradition. My door is always open. Just because I'm from East Chicago, it doesn't mean that I'm going to make this into an East Chicago program."
Those are the right words for the situation. Ultimately, though, talk is cheap. People won't care where Jefferson is from if the program is successful and if he sticks around. This is still a school that won two state championships. The Panthers aren't used to hiring assistants from other school districts, let alone from East Chicago.
And while Roosevelt might have taken its share of lumps the last few years, the old guard still views the Panthers as its team and Roosevelt, not Theodore Roosevelt College and Career Academy, as its school.
Nothing, in all candor, is more important to the old guard than how that basketball team performs and who runs it.
With that in mind, it's time to welcome Jefferson and wish him good luck.
He'll definitely need it.

Welcome to Giants: Citizen Kabuto, where gamers can have their cake, eat it, and mash it into an unrecognizable pulp.
Time passed, and a new leader, Queen Sappho, arose to lead the Sea Reapers. Like half the Queens in Disney movies, Sappho is a wicked queen who ruthlessly does whatever it takes to gain power for her people, with her ultimate goal being the reclaimation of The Island. To aid her in her quest, she creates a daughter out of the elements and names her Delphi. Delphi, however, refuses to subscribe to her mother's evil practices, and wishes fervently for someone from the Outside to help her find an alternative.
As luck would have it, a group of aliens known as the Meccaryns happens to be vacationing at The Island. Not necessarily by choice, mind you, as their trip began with their ship being swallowed, digested, and ejected by a rather large Gibbon Fish. Being fond of beer and even fonder of women, the Meccs decide to make the best of things and do some exploring while their ship undergoes repairs. To help them, they bring along exploration suits, laser guns, and other such toys that technologically advanced races seem to tote around with them. This is lucky for them, as they're going to need these high-tech playthings if they're going to survive Queen Sappho, Kabuto, and the war going on between the two.
As the saying goes, one Island isn't big enough for the three of them.

OK, so below is the floor plan for our new kitchen. At the top is going to be a door to a porch...B (on thel eft) is a large casement window, on the bottom left is an exterior door to the backyard, on the bottom is a door to a hallway, on the bottom right is a doorway to the dining room, and on the right is going to be a large pass-through we are creating. I am pretty satisfied with this plan...except where the stove top is. I am dreading this because: I am trying, for the life of me, to figure out where to put the stove if we don't put it there. Due to the amount of doors, windows, etc., it's difficult to find a different configuration. Does anyone have any ideas? We could put the stove directly across from the fridge, and the sink where the stove is...my partner isn't too ecstatic about the sink in the passthrough/island area though. Any other thoughts? Help! |

forget about centering the sink under the window..move it to the left and proceed with placement of stove in your upper left corner ..... counter between sink and stove will be expanded once sink is shifted. To the right of fridge, create greater depth to the counter by installing the cabs out. In a galley, some shorter segments of counter with a longer deep counter in a great spot like that will work. And your "shorter" segments aren't really so difficult to contend with anyway. |

Does your pass-through have counter seating on the other side? My brother cut a pass through in his kitchen and has the range (gas) on the other side with a hood. Honestly, the hood is not very obtrusive. He does not have any counter seating, but there is a table in the dining room on the other side of the pass through. In my opinion it looks fantastic in his kitchen. That said, if you don't like it, then do something else. Put the refrigerator somewhere on the sink wall (as herbflavor suggested don't worry about centering the sink under the window) and move the range to the left so it is clear of the passthrough. |

You'll need a larger pantry, so close up the pass-through a bit. If you foresee using it like a bar, you can add a small bar sink there, and then do short cabinets above it to hold glasses. |

We have a pantry just out of view so that is covered. Yes the pass through will extend out and have seating. I guess my main overriding concern is that the hood won't be sufficient and my whole house will reek of salmon and bacon. |

The Real Truth About Obama, Inc. v. FEC
The Real Truth About Obama (RTAO) challenged a number of FEC regulations governing when independent groups must register as federal political committees and comply with the applicable federal restrictions and disclosures. The challenged regulations included the so-called "subpart (b)" definition of "expressly advocating" (11 C.F.R. § 100.22(b)), and a rule defining "contribution" as funds received in response to a solicitation that "indicates" that the funds received "will be used to support or oppose" the election of a federal candidate (11 C.F.R. § 100.57).
The district court denied RTAO's request for preliminary relief and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed. Upon a petition for certiorari, however, the Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Fourth Circuit, and remanded the case for further consideration in light of Citizens United and "the Solicitor General's suggestion of mootness." On remand in the district court, the only "live" claim relate to the "subpart (b)" definition of "expressly advocating" and the FEC's implementation of the "major purpose" test for federal "political committee" status.

With Thanksgiving 2002 now a memory, the "holidays" are officially upon us. This is the time we become busier and, yes, a bit more stressed. We creative types, it seems, take this season a little harder than most people: "I should be working on my book, but I have all those stocking stuffers to buy!" My advice to you: Buy the stocking stuffers, put the writing or painting or proofreading aside. That is, do fulfill your job obligations, but temporarily forgo the extra work.
I'm a firm disbeliever in "If you're a writer, you must write every day." Realistically speaking, for most of us, this edict is a veritable impossibility. There are plenty of other things we must do-take kids to and from school, shlep them to piano lessons or doctors' appointments, prepare dinner, and so on. Even for those who have no children at home, there are other unavoidable tasks around the house or on the job, making it way too difficult to focus on pet projects.
I once heard a Los Angeles Times writer tell a story about how he would work all day at the newspaper, come home and help care for his kids, then spend 11:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. writing his novel. He developed pneumonia because he was so run down from this schedule. Don't let this happen to you. Take a breather. In January, with the chaos curbed, you may find you have a fresher view of your work.
I'd also like to remind you that now is the perfect time to renew or begin a membership to SPAWN, since December 31, 2002 is the deadline to receive a FREE copy of "The Author's Toolkit" by Mary Embree. In addition, if you are a SPAWN member, you are eligible for membership discounts to SPAN, the Small Publishers of North America, and to PMA, the Publishers Marketing Association. A SPAN membership can be applied for online at www.spannet.org, in their "partner program" for a savings of $35 off their regular $95 membership. To receive a PMA discount of $26 off the regular $99 membership, SPAWN members must download a special bonus certificate from our Web site, available in the Members Only section of www.spawn.org, and postal mail it to PMA. Please remember that these discounts are available to SPAWN members only. Join now-make 2003 your most successful year yet! --Wendy Dager

Publishing Your Own Book - A Timeline
By Patricia L. Fry
Self-publishing can be a daunting undertaking. It's easy to be overwhelmed in the process of setting up a business, writing a book, producing the book and then there's promotion.
Here's a calendar to guide you in the steps necessary to publishing your book.
WHEN YOU'RE ALMOST FINISHED WRITING THE BOOK (About six months before completion)
WHILE EDITING YOUR BOOK (About three months before the book is completed)
WHILE THE BOOK IS AT THE PRINTER (approximately two to six weeks prior to publication)
Pre-publication Reviewers
Kirkus Reviews
Publisher's Weekly
Library Journal
American Library Association Booklist
This is an excerpt from Patricia Fry's ebook, "The Successful Writer's Handbook." Available at the SPAWN Ebook Store. www.spawn.org/ebooks
I am interested in printing several books. I need info on prices for print runds of around 1500 copies. White paper with color cover. Many many images will need to be done. I'll also need it typeset. Can you also send me samples. I'm looking for book to be printed soft cover. I'll be selling these myself but I will need a ISBN number. I'm a former child actor and need to get this done fast so I can have these ready when I do the autograph circiut. Please rush info to me.
Dear Mike,
We are a networking organization for people involved in and interested in the publishing process. One of the most valuable features of our Web site is our discussion forum where members can communicate with members to ask questions such as yours. We also have some printers listed on our site who will give discounts to SPAWN members. In the meantime, I'd be happy to respond to your question.
The first step in finding a printer is to send several printers a request for an estimate. Each request should include the same specs: number of copies, number of pages, book dimensions, type of paper and cover, whether it is 2-color or 4-color, number and type of images (illustrations, photographs). Even if you don't know exact numbers yet, make a guess. You'll get an idea of how each printer charges. You can make any necessary adjustments to your specs later.
Ask each printer for samples and references. Also, ask their estimated turnaround time.
As for getting a block of International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN), go to R. R. Bowker's site at www.isbn.org or call 877-310-7333. You can also send an email to email@example.com. Expect to pay $115 for ten numbers. As far as I know, you still cannot purchase just one number.
You might find Chapter 3 in my ebook, "The Successful Writer's Handbook," helpful as I offer a timeline for the self-publisher. I talk about how to obtain a copyright on your book, the importance of and how to get your book listed in Books in Print, how to arrange for a bar code and Cataloguing in Publication (important for library use), how to set up your publishing company (you'll need a business through which to distribute your books), how to get pre-publication reviews and just when to do each of these tasks (Order this book for $9.95 at www.spawn.org/ebooks).
I hope this has helped. Good luck with your book.
Patricia Fry, President

How to Plan Your Web Site
By Virginia Lawrence
If you are considering creating a Web site, you should plan the Web site the way you would plan a nonfiction book. Before you consider the design, the graphics, the navigation, or the colors, you should go through a simple two-step process. The first steps in developing a Web site are:
Do you want to sell books, sell artwork, give the media a place to retrieve information, give meeting planners a reason to book you as a speaker, etc.?
Readers of romance novels, readers of history tomes, interior designers looking for interesting art, agents, editors, publishers, meeting planners, etc.?
Yes, these steps are the same as some of the steps followed in writing a book proposal. If you want your site visitors to understand what you are offering, you must be completely clear. When you have the information listed above, you are reducing the likelihood that you will develop a site that misses the mark entirely.
Knowing your goal, you develop the Web site around the goal. You develop the entire Web site to carry one message the main message of the site.
As you can see from the examples, your goal determines the content of the site. As soon as you have your goal, you can quickly gather the content you need for the site. Then you can simply decide on a sensible way to divvy up that content into separate Web pages.
Knowing the target market helps you to decide on the general look for the site. For example, a site aimed at parents of small children will have a fuzzier, cozier look than a site aimed at economists. A site aimed at mothers might use pink liberally, while a site aimed at skateboarders would tend more toward black or neon colors. You want the general appearance of the site and the specific colors used in the design to reflect the tastes of the target market.
The language level of the target market is also important. Stodgy, pedantic writing can work for an academic site, but such writing will turn consumers away. Mothers appreciate warm writing, while the general shopping public just wants clear, concise descriptions.
When you pull it all together, THE GOAL helps you to determine the focus for the site. THE TARGET MARKET helps you to decide on the colors and the general design of the site, as well as the type of language you'll use. Now you can gather your materials and create a site really aimed at your target market.

I received a bill of $657 after I moved out from my apartment complex. They kept my $200 deposit, so now I owe $457. I dropped some wine on the carpet, but they are also charging me for some damages that I requested to be changed in the past such as the broken drawer. What should I do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you have proof that something was broken when you moved in, such as the drawer, make a copy and send it to the management. Did you do a walk-through with someone before you left the apartment? Did you take pictures of how things looked? I'm sorry to say that if you can't prove the damage was in the apartment before you moved in, you may have to pay the bill. I'd try contesting the things that you are sure of, like the drawer, and paying for the damage that you know you caused, like the wine on the carpet, right away. You may get lucky and they may reduce the bill. |

You can find iPad Air at any of the following locations websites or stores. Happy iPad Air hunting! Good luck.

As advertised by Apple:
About iPad Air
The new iPad Air is unbelievably thin and light. And yet it's so much more powerful and capable. With the A7 chip, advanced wireless, and great apps for productivity and creativity — all beautifully integrated with iOS 7 — iPad Air lets you do more than you ever imagined. In more places than you ever imagined.
New iPad Air Design
iPad Air is impossibly thin but incredibly solid thanks to its aluminum unibody design. It dropped almost a quarter of the volume of the previous-generation iPad. So it weighs just one gravity-defying pound. But what makes iPad Air truly remarkable is that it packs so much more power and capability into its sleek enclosure. So you can do even more with it, while carrying even less with you.
iPad Air Retina Display
iPad has always been about the display. And that's even more true with iPad Air. Because we reduced the width of the device, along with the bezels on the sides of the display. But the size of the stunning Retina display is exactly the same. So your content fills your view more than ever. With a 2048-by-1536 resolution and over 3.1 million pixels, photos and videos pop with detail and text looks razor sharp. Pixels are indiscernible. So all you see is what you want to see.
iPad Air Performance
The new Apple-designed A7 chip brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to iPad. That means up to twice the CPU speed and graphics performance for everything you do. And still up to 10 hours of battery life to study, play, build, and create whatever you want, all you want.
iPad Air A7 Chip
The A7 chip takes iPad to new heights of power and speed. Thanks to the A7 chip, apps run faster. Games are more responsive. And everything you do with iPad Air feels quicker, because it is quicker. Up to twice as quick, in fact. But that's just the beginning. It also supports OpenGL ES version 3.0, enabling detailed graphics and visual effects once possible only on desktop computers and game consoles. And the A7 chip features 64-bit architecture, opening the door for even more robust and powerful apps. Which means even more possibilities for what you can do with iPad Air.
iPad Air M7 Processor
iPad Air was designed to be on the move. That's why the M7 coprocessor makes so much sense. It measures motion from your iPad Air by pulling data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. So your apps can give you a better experience based on the movement of your iPad Air. It's a task that would normally fall to the A7 chip. But M7 is more efficient at it, which saves on power.
iPad Air Battery
iPad Air is powerful, but not power hungry. Even though it's 20 percent thinner and up to twice as fast as the previous-generation iPad, it still gives you the same incredible 10-hour battery life.1 That's because the A7 chip isn't just more powerful, it's also more efficient. So no matter where you go with iPad Air, you'll have the battery power to go even further.
iPad Air Wifi
Your new favorite app, book, or movie. Your next FaceTime call or iMessage. Ultrafast wireless lets you access the things you love, right from iPad Air. So more than ever, you can stay in sync and in touch. iPad Air gives you up to twice the Wi-Fi performance thanks to two antennas and MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and MIMO, download speeds can reach up to 300 Mbps — double the data rate of the previous-generation iPad. So now when you want to download a movie, share photos or documents with AirDrop, or just browse the web, your connection is even faster than before. iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular lets you connect to the Internet even if you're away from a Wi-Fi signal. iPad Air supports even more LTE bands to connect to more cellular data networks around the world.2 Now you can get online at really fast speeds — faster than broadband in some cases — in more places. And plans are flexible, so you don't have to sign a contract. Some plans even let you share data across multiple devices.
iPad Air Native Apps
iPad Air is the perfect everyday companion. Because it comes with apps that help you do the everyday things you love to do, like check your email, talk to Mom over FaceTime, or consult Siri to settle a bet. And now iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free with iPad Air.So you can write the next great novel, nail your presentation, and compose a score for your home movie — all from your iPad Air. And all these apps are optimized for 64-bit architecture. So they run smoothly and powerfully, and make iPad Air — and you — more capable than ever. From the moment you turn it on.
iPad Air FaceTime
Sometimes it's nice to put a face to the conversation. And with FaceTime video calls on iPad Air, your conversations never looked better. Make a video call over Wi-Fi or cellular and see (or show) every expression on the beautiful display.4 And now the FaceTime HD camera features a next-generation backside illumination sensor with larger pixels. Which brightens up all your FaceTime chats, selfies, and group Photo Booth shots, even in low-light situations.
iPad Air iSight Camera
We think about what goes into a great shot, so you don't have to. The 5-megapixel iSight camera on iPad Air was designed to help you capture all of life's moments at a moment's notice. Use the Retina display as an easy viewfinder to frame the perfect shot. And quickly swipe between capturing stills or 1080p HD video. Every time you shoot, the image signal processor in the A7 chip works with the camera to make a ton of adjustments and deliver a great picture or video — automatically. You don't have to think about anything other than who you're going to share the moment with,
iPad Air Dual Microphones
iPad Air hears where you're coming from. That's because it has two microphones. And they don't just collect more sound — they work together to capture better sound by suppressing audio from the source you're not focused on. So the audio on FaceTime calls is improved because there's less background noise. Your video recordings sound clearer. And Siri is even better at recognizing what you're saying.
iPad Air and iOS 7
Because iOS 7 was designed for iPad Air, everything not only looks beautiful, it runs beautifully. And iOS 7 introduces great new features, such as smarter multitasking, AirDrop, and Control Center, that make the things you do every day even easier, faster, and more enjoyable. It's everything you love about iOS. Made even easier to love.

]]>If you're like us, you take your iPad on the go, on the run, into meetings, out of meetings, on the train, and all over town. Believe it or not, our iPad's are having some long days too. So what are some ways we can help our little buddy out and save some battery life?
Turn Down Brightness
A quick way to get the most out of your iPad's battery life is to turn down the brightness of the display. You can do this by going to the iPad's settings and choosing "Brightnesss & Wallpaper" from the left-side menu. The further to the left you move the slider, the less bright the screen will be (and the less power it will use). 33% is usually pretty solid, but your setting will depend upon the amount of ambient light in the location you are in and how bright you need your iPad to be.
Close Some Apps
You might be running a whole lot of Apps and you dont even realize it. This is going to drain some power, so do your iPad a favor and close out those Apps you arent meddling with right now. To do it, double tap the Home button on your iPad. This will bring up your App tray, or all of the Apps which you have left open unknowingly. To close some open Apps, press any App icon in the app tray and hold it down. A red circle with a minus sign will appear in the corner of the App icon. Press the red circle to shut down the App.
Turn Some Stuff Off, Seriously
Yeah I said it. Just turn off some stuff that you aren't using. And I say stuff loosely. Think about what you need and dont need, and hit up your Settings menu to turn some of these options off. Remember you can always turn them back on, and if you dont need them at the time, you can save yourself a lot of power.
Get a Solar Powered iPad Case
They're out there. We have reported on them. A good one to look up is KudoCase (formerly known as Lilypad). Its a durable iPad case with a built in solar panel, charges both indoor and outdoor light. And yes it works.
When in Doubt, Charge it Out!
Be smart. If you're on an adventure that clearly will kill your iPad no matter what, and you're going to need it, pack a charger. There are all kinds of chargers so just be smart. When in doubt, charge it out.
]]>How to Reboot the iPad
The iPad is no different than any other gadget or brilliant technology. When things start acting up, it's time to reboot. But how?
Being new to iPad, assuming you are, it's easy to confuse putting the iPad in suspend mode and with rebooting it.
To really give your iPad a fresh start, you can reboot it by following these quick steps:
That's all folks. Simple, easy, and lovely and breezy. Enjoy.
]]>The Asus MeMo Pad 10 tablet is expected to ship with Android 4.1 and rock a 1,280×800 HD IPS display. It is said to use a 1.2GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, have a microSD slot, a pair of front and rear cameras, 1GB RAM, and a modest 16GB of storage.
Shortly after CES concluded, Asus announced the 7-inch MeMo Pad 172V which will be shipping in April for a meager $149 USD. The MeMo Pad 10 tablet is expected to be priced modestly as well, really helping Android take a slice of the market share pie.
Oh, and what does she look like? She's purty, and we have her on display just for you:
]]>The Lenovo Idea Tab A2107 Specifications
The Lenovo Idea Tab A2107 is a 7-inch tablet that runs on Android 4.0, has a 1,024×600 pixel resolution, 16GB of internal storage, 1GB of RAM, and 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 SC CPU.
For inputs and outputs, the Lenovo Idea Tab A2107 has a microUSB port, a VGA front-facing camera, and a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera.
The AT&T version of the Lenovo Idea Tab tablet runs on 3G or Wi-Fi, but Lenovo independently offers a Wi-Fi-only model. The Wi-Fi-only option available through Lenova directly, and is now available in stores, has only 8GB of internal storage, 512MB of RAM, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
Clearly better off with the AT&T version (providing you have AT&T service).

New iPad users may find these symptoms to be extremely concerning:
When trying to open an app, it appears to open for a second or two, the screen flickers black when attempting to open it, and the app closes. No error message.
Huh? Now all my other sweet Apps arent opening either?
Fear not, there are a few simple fixes you can try:
Synchronize your iPad, reboot it, or to download a new free App. Believe it or not, the last one actually always works.
Double tap the Home button on your iPad. This will bring up your App tray, or all of the Apps which you have left open unknowingly. You need to close some of these down so other Apps can be used.
To close some open Apps and clear the way for others to run smoothly, simply press any App icon in the app tray and hold it down. A red circle with a minus sign will appear in the corner of the App icon. Press the red circle to shut down the App.
Viola! After closing some of your Apps, you can finally get back to your Plants vs Zombies binge.
