as you know I have been playing with melting plastic beads, I made another key chain with the red one. I like the blue one the best, took some work to get it nice, do you think it would look good on a choker? or as a bracelet? looking for ideas as to what else I can do with them, sorry the photo is scaned and not very good.

I think they are wonderful. I think you should submit them to a craft magazine as soon as possible and get due credit for this idea!! |

These are adorable!! Great job!!! ginger |
Thanks, glad you liked them, melting plastic beads as a form of art is not my original idea, I read about it on a form quite awhile ago, I think they used medicine bottles and melted the beads in them, not sure what they did with them. I just did my own thing with the idea. still looking for ideas as to what else I can use them for. Happy Crafting Oddie |
Oddie, They are nice :) I think you read that idea here or at least I remember seeing it, too. Someone posted it as an "older" craft I believe. |
Oddie, Those are so nice. They would look great as chokers or pins. If you make them as pins, you could add beads to them dangling down, kinda like you did with your key chain. How about a matching set of choker and braclet with a pin!?! The bottle caps you used, are they un-used caps or did you save them from your favorite beverage and re-use them. If they are re-used, did you smash them down? I have some I have saved and not quite sure if I should smash them or leave them the way they are. Grimmy |
Thank you! sweet98 and grimmy, glad you liked them, wish I could remenber where I did read about the melting part, if you try this remenber MELTING PLASTIC CAN BE TOXIC! I had to open a window and leave on the fan on the stove till after I was done, not a real strong smell just enough to remind me I had to be carefull. The bottle caps are uncrimped,all but the blue one is smashed, if you try smashing the ones that have been used they will not look nice, I left the blue one unsmashed because it has two sets of beads, I also did not remove the plastic ring in the cap. dont think I could make a matching set as each does its own thing when melting. Happy Crafting Oddie |
Hi Oddie, is the melted plastic in there pretty permanently? I'm thinking it would make a cool looking belt if you could drill them and link a bunch together. It would be very one of a kind and unique and could have lots of colors in it to go with lots of outfits. DebW |

I like the jewelery idea. They might also look good as buttons on some of your cute snowmen. |
Ok, this is probably not what you are looking for and I don't know how big they are and they may be too beautiful to use on such a simple thing, but I'd like them as push pins or magnets. I'd rather have something beautiful like those to look at on my board than the same old useful things. They are each so unique, unusual and pretty. You always do such awesome work. I like the button idea too. ~Anj |
Thank you! I knew you guys would come up with some ideas for me, debw I think they are permanently in the bottle cap,maybe because I left the liner in and it also melts with beads, I had one that messed up and could not get the beads out, I like the belt idea, I seen some made with bottle caps, thats a cool idea! adellabedella, I did make a neckless with the blue one, has a dangle beads and dark brown leather, for the chain, I will post a photo if anyone would like to see it. anjabee thank you! they would make cute stick pins, the butterfly was a stick pin I cut off, the inside is one inch, would be a nice size for a pin or magnet. love all of your ideas and thank you for shareing them with me Happy Crafting Oddie |

these turned out great. What a novel idea. I love the one with the butterfly. Way to go! |

I think the school board needs to know that the collusion between the superintendent and chair is unacceptable to the parents and grandparents of our students, the voters and certainly not to anyone employed by the district. The "discreet" meetings and underhanded dealings must stop before we are paying off another superintendent.

In fact-checking yesterday's post, Hiaasen's Nature Girl Release Date: November 14, 2006 , I ran across a 60 Minutes interview with Hiaasen that is especially interesting and has the secondary benefit of suggesting a new slogan for my scandal-plagued home state:
I was also reminded of a Carl Hiaasen-Warren Zevon factoid.
Consequently, this morning's Heck Of A Guy Blog entry is a Hiaasen Bonus Post, consisting of these two blogworthy items.
Florida: Wonderful, Weird, Wacky Florida
Perhaps the most dependably enjoyable literary subgenre in my reading repertoire is one I have designated Florida-Style Weird Crime. The nomenclature is, as always, important. Florida-Style Weird Crime, for example, is not precisely identical to Weird Crime In Florida because, occasionally, Florida-Style crime might take place in New Jersey, Telluride, or Chicago.
But Florida is indeed special, and no one presents it with the flair and style of Carl Hiaasen. This is no small accolade, given the number of talented authors who operate in the same literary geographic region. Hiaasen, in fact, collaborated with Elmore Leonard, Edna Buchanan, Dave Barry (who typically writes comedy but also wrote Big Trouble in 1999 which could be mistaken for a Hiaasen book written during an especially mellow life stage), and nine other local writers to write Naked Came The Manatee in 1997. A partial list of other authors includes Michael Connelly (author of The Lincoln Lawyer; see The Lead-Off Book For The Summer 2006 Reading Season), James W. Hall, John D. MacDonaldd, John Katzenbach, Charles Willeford, Laurence Shames, Les Standiford, and Randy Wayne White.
It has been said, in fact, that Hiaasen's main character is always Florida. And why not? Consider this excerpt from a 60 Minutes interview.
"Are these stories true, or inventions of your imagination?" asks Kroft. "Professional wheelchair thief."
"True," says Hiaasen.
"School board candidate whose legal residence turned out to be a tool shed," asks Kroft.
"True," says Hiaasen.
"The U.S. attorney who bit a stripper during a table dance," asks Kroft.
"It's real," says Hiaasen. "True."
"A South Florida mayor who tried to hire City Hall workers to kill her husband," asks Kroft.
"Yup. Yup," says Hiaasen. "I believe she's gotten a new trial since then. But there was testimony that she solicited for a hit man in City Hall."
"All those are true," asks Kroft.
"I wish I'd made them up," says Hiaasen, laughing. "I wish I made them up."
And if you think he is exaggerating, there are plenty more examples in a folder he keeps in his office that's filled with South Florida news clippings.
"The court had ruled it 'Gators In Bed is Bad Idea,'" says Hiaasen, referring to one clipping. "This was a story about a guy who was sleeping with two full-grown alligators. And a court ruled that he had no constitutional right to sleep with an endangered reptile. And that happened in Florida."
"Was he sleeping with them?" asks Kroft. "Yes," says Hiaasen.
"In what way?" asks Kroft. "In the way that you're suggesting with your eyebrows," says Hiaasen.
"That's a good one," notes Kroft.
"Here's a guy who was stealing medical equipment, He surrenders. It's — he was unhooking patients from their heart monitors and stealing the heart monitors. This was in West Palm Beach," says Hiaasen, referring to another clipping. "That's quite a crime when you think about it. The guys on a heart monitor. 'Excuse me while I take the machine.'"
The transcript of the entire 60 Minutes interview is well worth a read and can be found at
60 Minutes Interview With Carl Hiaasen
Carl & Warren
In Hiaasen's Basket Case, the plot involves a rock group, Jimmy and the Slut Puppies, whose biggest hit was Basket Case. It turns out that one of Hiaasen's buddies was the late Warren Zevon (he of Excitable Boy and Werewolves Of London fame). Warren wrote and recorded a complete version of Basket Case as a track in his last album, My Ride's Here. Hiaasen and Zevon also co-wrote two songs, Seminole Bingo and Rottweiler Blues, that Zevon recorded on albums. Way Cool.

Error At DPS Means No Head Start
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
(Detroit, MI) -- An error within the Detroit Public Schools District likely means no Head Start program next year. Officials say there will be no funding for the program because DPS did not get its application in on time. Roughly 900-students were served by the Head Start program this past school year. District officials are reportedly assuring parents that replacement programs are coming.

First Impressions: Cloud9 IDE + PHP
I love programming, but admittedly I absolutely hate setting up local development environments. I have been using tools like Vagrant and Puppet to help ease the pain, but even then I find it tedious to get a quick project off the ground. This inevitably leads to me making some master development VM, but this stuff takes time and can kill an idea before I even lay down a single line of code. Well, what if I didn't need to bother with that boring stuff anymore? I have been hearing about the Cloud9 online code editor for a long time (based on the ACE Editor) and thought maybe it would be suitable for some node.js development. Little did I know how many features they are packing now for free into this awesome web applicaiton.
Your code anywhere
At first I though Cloud9 would be a simple editor, perhaps a nice showcase of what you can do with HTML5 and some well-written javascript but it quickly became evident that this app was packing a lot of powerful features.
Features at a glance:
- Integrated linux sandbox environment with pre-installed PHP, Node, MySQL, etc
- Inline Shell access (no sudo and some other restrictions)
- Easy connection to GitHub and BitBucket
- Remote, multi-collaborator real-time editing (Pair programming anyone?)
- 512 MB of storage in the sandbox
- Did I mention you can hop on to any computer and start coding right away?
Sounds pretty awesome if you think about it. You can even connect you own server via SSH instead of using the build in sandbox (this is a paid feature).
Is this the Holy-Grail?
Not Really, but it's close. This is a very exciting product that almost reaches holy-grail status, but it falls short in a few key areas. Occasional stuttering, delays in the terminal and editor tabs are mood killers. Having to wait 5-10 seconds to save a file while in a cycle of test-driven-development is painful, which is something that happened to me quite frequently. You also will miss CTRL-Clicking into a method and other modern conveniences you get for free in editors like PHPStorm, NetBeans, etc.
If you are a VIM person you probably won't be 100% happy with the responsiveness and let's face it, you guys hate IDE's. To be fair you can pull up VI in a terminal window, but there are also some problems there. If you are used to a native terminal client or PuTTY, the provided HTML5 terminal has some quirks, CTRL-C doesn't work as expected and I also ran in to some issues with my local aliases disappearing.
Let's use PHP 5.5
Some other complaints are that the built in versions for PHP are a bit low (5.3.3), an I'm not sure there is an obvious way to change this other than building from source. You do get PEAR and PECL pre-installed but I haven't tried to do anything serious with that yet. It looks like you do have the ability to compile from source, but it takes awhile. I was unable to successfully build memcached but I was able to build PHP 5.5 alpha (in about two hours) although due to permissions issues I had to do something like this:
$ ./configure prefix=$HOME $ make $ make install $ php -v PHP 5.5.0alpha1 (cli) (built: Dec 25 2012 15:17:46) Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.5.0-dev, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies
If you know your way around linux, you will probably have more luck than I did, but your mileage may vary.
Is it FREE?
Well it seems that just like GitHub you can create unlimited public workspaces, with unlimited collaborators. If you need more than one private project and only want to give your team access, or you want to connect your own VM instead of using the built in sandbox – you will probably want to cough up the $12/month. If you are strictly experimenting or working on open-source there isn't a lot to lose here.
The Verdict
The Cloud9 team has done a great job removing the barriers to getting a simple idea out the door. I implemented FizzBuzz in PHP using Composer, PHPUnit, and some SPL interfaces and got it all done , and posted to GitHub in about an hour. Since Apache is also installed, this is a really brain-dead simple way to prototype, or even work on non-trivial projects. I haven't tried the multi-user editing yet, but it actually sounds like a lot of fun. Also, the whole thing is available independently of the online service so you can install Cloud9 locally (check out the GitHub repo). What are you waiting for? Go sign up and/or check it out locally and let me know what you think in the comments section!
Adam Culp
Thanks for the post James. Was thinking of checking this out as an experiment, but good to see someone else's take on it.

Thanks for the write up. I really like the concept here, but I'm a bit addicted to the speed that sublime text 2 offers. Cmd+tab to chrome or iterm 2 combined with ST2′s save on blur and CodeKit's render on save functionality will be really hard to beat in the Cloud.

new background colors on CPL website
You sure want to make it hard for me. Every Monday I review the new books in the CPL collection. I see this 'crazy C' - then I see grey background and blue print. It really makes it hard to read as the crazy 'C' distracts and really doesn't make sense (yeh, I know it is supposed to mean Canton) but with all the extra dog bones, it makes it hard to read what I wish to read. Blue print on a grey-blue background does not cut it. Please consider (soon) going back to what can be read - like what you are reading from me - black on white. Thank you.

Could someone please buy Nicole Kidman a PDA? The busy actress seems to be having trouble keeping her schedule straight. Variety reports that she's backing out of her stated intention to follow up her turn in Lars von Trier's ''Dogville'' with starring roles in the director's two planned sequels, citing time constraints. It's the second time this week that she's claimed a scheduling conflict as the reason for dropping a movie project.
Kidman made a splash earlier this summer in the ''Dancer in the Dark'' director's ''Dogville,'' an epic set in Depression-era America. The film is the first part of the ''U.S.A.'' trilogy from the Danish director (who has never actually set foot in the United States). Von Trier's follow-up, ''Manderlay,'' reportedly brings Grace (the character Kidman played in ''Dogville'') to a Southern plantation, where she helps organize African-Americans who are still working in slavery-like conditions. He wants to shoot it next spring, but Kidman expects to spend that time shooting Baz Luhrmann's Alexander the Great biopic, where she'll play the mother of conqueror Leonardo DiCaprio. Instead, von Trier will cast another actress in ''Manderlay,'' and a third actress will play Grace in the final film, ''Washington.'' As for ''Dogville,'' Lions Gate is expected to release it in the U.S. sometime this fall.
Earlier this week, Kidman's camp suggested she might have to drop out of this fall's ''Mr. and Mrs. Smith,'' the married-assassins romp costarring Brad Pitt, because she'll still be shooting ''The Stepford Wives.'' The ''Smith'' filmmakers have also gone scrambling for a replacement, with Catherine Zeta-Jones at the top of their wish list. Kidman is also still attached to the ''Bewitched'' adaptation, which has no production date yet. Maybe she'll be available to play Samantha Stevens in late 2005 or so.

I transplanted my strawberries into one gallon containers about one month ago. They are doing fine and have rooted in the pots. I do not have any ground prepared for them and want to overwinter them in these pots. What do I need to do to keep them alive during the winter? Our temperatures have only been going down to around 10 degrees during the last few winters. Would a bunch of straw over the whole bunch work? There are about 100 gal pots all sitting together. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pots in your zone are a problem. They get wet then freeze the roots. Unless you actually heat them, i don't know how you can prevent it? In general not a good idea. I would never try it, I would put them in the garage. |

That's what I'm afraid of. I think if I put them in my garden shed they would freeze in there also and there are too many plants for the garage. Maybe, digging a trench and placing them in it and drawing the dirt around them would work for the winter. What do you think? |
happyhelper, How well they weather the winter depends upon how hardy the strawberries are. The rule of thumb is that plants will over winer in pots if they are rated for 1 or 2 zones colder than your environment. Your zone is listed as 5b. So your strawberries are probably ok if rated to zone 3 or maybe 4 without further protection. But I would take further measures. If you bury the pots in the ground, that would probably bring the situation to normal. Or, you could bury the pots in leaves and that should bring the situation close to in-ground. As mentioned, you could bring the pots into an unheated garage. I live in zone 5. I over wintered strawberries in pots for 2 winters by bringing them into an unheated workshop. I also overwinter cherries, blueberries, plums, mulberries, and gooseberries in pots by burying the pots in leaves. So far, no problem. But we haven't seen a -20F winter since I started doing this. In areas where they have snow all winter, gardeners report that the snow is sufficient insulation. If you bury the pots in leaves, pile the leaves higher than you want them. They settle a lot. If you bring potted plants in for the winter, they won't need much water, but do not let them dry out. |
The trench idea, or even the shed, may work. Experiment as Isoh has pointed out it can be done. This has really been a good thread, as I learned a lot from Isoh, thanks buddy! I tried to over winter some garlic, but the pots got so wet then froze. They all died. I should have put them in the shed or garage. It was the excessive moisture that did them in. They can handle being moist, just not soaked. I was thinking of growing some zone 7 blueberries in zone 6a. I was going to winter in the garage. It sounds like it will work. The garage is unheated, but enough heat from the house is transferred so it's always warmer there than outside. I could put them out during warm days Back to your situation i think the trench is the better method. They will still get sun exposure, cover them in straw, shredded leaves or pine straw. I grow a bunch of strawberries too, in raised beds. I have June, everbearing, musk, pineberries, and alpine. |

Yeah, I think I will try the trench method. I live close to Columbus, Ohio and we have not had very cold-cold weather for the last two years but I have seen it go -15 degrees. Thanks so much for your help. My experience with strawberries at this location has been sad. The first year I put them in the ground and covered them with straw. In the Spring I uncovered them expecting to see strawberry plants. I saw none! There were only mole holes under the straw covering. The next year I planted them in a new location at the end of the horse pasture. They did fine and all came up nicely the next Spring. However, the rabbits ate the leaves as they came up. The plants that had strawberries on them were devoured by the birds as soon as they ripened. This fall I pulled out the good plants and re-potted them in the one gallon pots. The field has not been prepared for planting the strawberries, hence the pots. My raspberry plants have ripening raspberries on them now. The weather has started to turn cold here. I think we will probably have a frost next week. |
I'm just northwest of Pittsburgh and I had a one gallon pot of strawberries overwinter upside-down in the middle of my front lawn one year... I assumed they were dead and at some point the dog's line caught on the pot and dragged it out in the middle of the lawn. Lo and behold when I picked them up while cleaning up the lawn in the Spring there were new green leaves! I'm not sure what variety they were, they never produced well in the pot or in the ground... but they survived a Pittsburgh winter in a 1 gallon pot, completely unprotected. In your shoes, I'd probably just leave them outside, up against a heated structure like a house/heated garage and put some straw around them for extra insulation/wind protection. |

Ive planted strawberries in the fall up here in zone 4 with no problems. As long as they are mulched and or somewhat protected, even with some snow you shouldnt have too many problems. I planted one in november one warm season, and it is still alive 4 years later. The way I see it is, if you are going to go though the trouble of proteting them in the pots over the winter, its probably better off to just plant them, and mulch. Them being in the ground will protect them better then any above ground protection generally can. |

Thanks for all your help. I finally decided that if I was going to go to all that work to trench them in, I might as well just plant them in the ground. I am doing so now. There might not be enough room in the area I'm planting in for all the plants so I still may have some in pots. I think canadianplant finally helped me make the decision. |

The roots will still be sensitive to freezing, so please make sure you mulch them very well for the first winter. Just use some leaves you rake up. It also will break down and add some nutrients to the soil. Just mount the leaves untill its a good 6 inches deep and they should be fine. |

EU, Singapore reach trade agreement
The European Commission and Singapore have reached an agreement on a major free trade deal following more than two years of negotiations. EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht and Singapore's Minister of Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang, completed final negotiations on the agreement.
The pact is one of the most comprehensive the EU has ever negotiated and will create new opportunities for companies from Europe and Singapore to do business together. The growing Singaporean market offers export potential for EU, industrial, agricultural and services businesses.
The European Commission says the dynamically growing markets of Southeast Asia offer new sources of growth for EU businesses. With €205 billion of trade in goods and services in 2011, the 10-member ASEAN group is already the EU's third largest trading partner outside Europe.
An external study in 2009 estimated that the EU income gain from an FTA with ASEAN would be €29.5 billion. With Singapore being the EU's largest trading partner in that region, accounting for a third (€74 billion) of all trade in goods and services between the EU and ASEAN, this FTA has significant potential for the European economy.
The deal will create new opportunities in many services sectors, according to the European Commission. It will facilitate the access of industrial and agricultural products on an important export market, through greater recognition of EU standards. For example, Singapore agrees to import European-manufactured cars based on EU technical and safety standards and approvals.
For the first time, Singapore has agreed to tackle technical barriers in key sectors such as cars, electronics and renewable energy equipment. These rules will make it easier for goods produced and tested to European standards to be sold in Singapore, without technical changes or additional testing.
Singapore will also facilitate the recognition of EU meat producers. Such recognition is currently only granted on an establishment-by-establishment basis.

In physics, the restraint of vibratory motion, such as mechanical oscillations, noise, and alternating electric currents, by dissipating energy. Unless a child keeps pumping a swing, the back-and-forth motion decreases; damping by the air's friction opposes the motion and removes energy from the system. Viscous damping is caused by such energy losses as occur in liquid lubrication between moving parts or in a liquid forced through a small opening by a piston, as in automobile shock absorbers. Hysteresis damping involves energy loss within the moving structure itself. Other types of damping include electrical resistance, radiation, and magnetic damping.

The Shaolin temple was built during the feudal age when warlords divided and ruled each region of China separately. Legend has it that the Shaolin temple devised powerful techniques such that enabled people to punch through concrete wall, to regenerate and heal at faster rate, and to walk on the surface of water like dragonfly.

The Year of the Horse Year of Birth: 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026 Lucky Colors: brown, yellow, purple; Avoid: blue, white, golden Lucky Numbers: 2, 3, 7; Avoid 1, 6, 5 Lucky Flowers: calla lily, jasmine, marigold Zodiac Sign Compatibility - Best match: tiger, sheep, dog; Avoid: rat, ox, rabbit
This year welcomes the Year of the Horse and the beginning of a new year on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and for other Asian cultures. The Horse is the seventh sign in the Chinese astrological cycle. History suggests that before Buddha left this world, he invited all of the animals to join him around his table for a feast. Of all of the creatures in the land, only 12 arrived. The steadfast Ox led the way, but at the last moment, the Rat, opportunistic and fleet of foot, scampered over the Ox' back and arrived first at Buddha's door. For their loyalty and faithfulness, these animals were rewarded in perpetuity by having a year named after each of them in their order of arrival.
The 12 animals run in sequence beginning with the Rat and followed by the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Money, Rooster, Dog, and last, but not least, the Pig.
If you were born during the Year of the Horse... All information below was cited from this site.
Strengths People born in the year of the horse have ingenious communicating techniques and in their community they always want to be in the limelight. They are clever, kind to others, and like to join in a venture career. Although they sometimes talk too much, they are cheerful, perceptive, talented, earthy but stubborn. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are popular among friends, active at work and refuse to be reconciled to failure, although their endeavor cannot last indefinitely.
Weaknesses They cannot bear too much constraint. However their interest may be only superficial and lacking real substance. They are usually impatient and hot blooded about everything other than their daily work. They are independent and rarely listen to advice. Failure may result in pessimism. They usually have strong endurance but with bad temper. Flamboyant by nature, they are wasteful since they are not good with matters of finance due to a lack of budgetary efficiency. Some of those who are born in the horse like to move in glamorous circles while pursuing high profile careers. They tend to interfere in many things and frequently fail to finish projects of their own.

If you are a fan of "the Real Housewives of New Jersey" than you have probably seen the Manzo boys' hot roommate. If you are like us, you wanted to know more. We had Malcolm Montgomery track him down to get all the dirt on him, the wives and his new bravo.tv web show.
Fenuxe: How was Beyonce last night!?
Greg: OMG, it was out of control! My friend Gina waited in line all day from 10 in the morning till 8 at night when they let us in, it was crazy, we were right in the front of the stage. Everybody hated me because I'm 6'5 but she sang right to me the whole time and that's all that matters. I know all of the words, I lip-sync better than the drag queens so she was really into me.
Fenuxe: That's awesome; I can't believe your friend waited there for 10 hours!
Greg: It's the least she could do! She doesn't have a real job, it's the least she could do! But she's a good friend!
Fenuxe: So what do you do Greg?
Greg: I actually work for an affiliate marketing network, and I've had this same job since I graduated college and I work remotely from home, (that's how I'm able to get on the phone with you right now) It's an awesome schedule.
Fenuxe: Where did you go to school?
Greg: I went to Fordham University with Albie (Manzo) actually, and that's how we met.
Greg: I'm from central Jersey actually, so I didn't know any of the Manzo's growing up, I met Al at Fordham and we became friends there and that's how I met his family and kinda got mixed up in all of this (RHONJ) we weren't roommates in college, but senior year we all hung out at this one apartment complex, we called it the brothel because they only let girls be tenants there because they are cleaner. We would all go hang out there; it was kinda like Melrose Place. They always had parties outside every weekend and I actually introduced Al to his girlfriend that he had in college. We all went to the same parties and it was a small school so everyone kinda knew everybody. We just kept in touch after graduation, because you know people fall out and lose touch but I'm not like that.
Fenuxe: That's interesting to hear, watching the show I was under the impression that you were friends with Lauren (Manzo) first?
Greg: No I actually wasn't. I was friends with Lauren. She actually said on the show, "Greg was my friend too" (not first) Lauren and I are great friends and she's like a sister to me. I met Al first. She's the best and a lot of fun
Fenuxe: How's Lauren's make-up business doing? We watched her starting up on the show?
Greg: It's going well, you know, everybody is trying to get their businesses off the ground, the boy's have a water line that they are promoting that is doing really well, their bottled water is called blk. It's black water; turns black because it's infused with fulvic acid. It's a miracle for hangovers, and improves your overall health. I'm obsessed with it; you can get it at Whole Foods and Earth Fare. (blkbeverages.com) Lauren is doing her makeup thing. Everybody has a very positive outlook. Lauren actually does her mom's (Caroline's) makeup. If you look on the show credits, she's credited as the makeup artist.
Fenuxe: Well good for her, that's a good place to get started. This show seems to get lot of its success from its family oriented nature, how did it happen that all of the cast mates are either related or friends of the family?
Greg: I wasn't around during the first season, but I think that's just how they cast it. I think they went into a hair shop or something and asked if there were any groups of women that would be good for TV. I really don't know the whole story, but Andy Cohen has said in interviews before that each franchise has its own niche that it fits into, Beverly Hills is decadence and opulence and crazy money, and New Jersey is all about family, the OC is based on some 80s TV show, Knots Landing. I don't know, is that a TV show? He said they are all unique in their own way. I think New Jersey just kind of naturally became about family.
Fenuxe: I think that's why this series, as opposed to the others, has become so successful because it is relatable. People have strong opinions about the characters and situations because you almost feel a part of the family
Greg: Everyone always comes up to me when I am out and tells me how much Caroline (Manzo) reminds them of their mother. People really do relate to the series, as if they think it's their family and they see their family in a lot of the situations that are going on which is why it makes it so real.
Fenuxe: Do you get recognized when you go out?
Greg: I'm starting to, actually, though I have a boyfriend now so I don't really go out to the gay bars like I used to. When I moved to Hoboken from the City, I kinda settled down and started to focus on my job, my boyfriend, and things here. It's cool to get recognized, it's unique, I don't know why anyone would want to take a picture with me, but they do. They love the "gay best friend"
Fenuxe: Obviously you have fans! You have a fan page on Facebook just for you!
Greg: I know isn't that crazy? I thought that was so funny, I love them they're cute. But I didn't start it! That would be so douchey of me to start my own fan page. It's kinda funny, it's a guy who runs the page and he kinda speaks on my behalf, they are sweet and they write nice things about me. Until someone gets on there and writes something like, "he's fat" then I don't care!
Fenuxe: Hearing you have a boyfriend makes me want to clear up some of the rumors that we hear about you, why does everyone seem to think you are secretly dating Albie Manzo?
Greg: Um, I don't know, I'm sure people would love to believe that because we are both two good looking guys, but he's been a friend to me for years. He has a girlfriend now, not Billy Joel's daughter Alexa Ray Joel, the girl he was crushing on the show. But he's not my type to begin with, so even if there was a chance of that it wouldn't happen on my end! But, no, he's straight and a good friend. Reading all of the blogs and comments and things like that, it kinda sucks that there are all of these ignorant people out there that say, "I've never heard of a gay and straight guy moving in together just to be roommates". That's so stupid, shame on them.
Fenuxe: I'm sure if works out great though; you probably keep them in line!
Greg: I do! I clean, Chris cooks, Al kinda delegates. We are like a little family, its great.
Fenuxe: We love the series that you guys have on Bravo.com, called "Boys to Manzo."
Greg: We are hoping it could possibly be picked up as its own show someday. I don't know what anyone has planned for that but people seem to like it and its gotten a very positive response, so we are happy with that and hope we can do more, who knows.
Fenuxe: Well back to your claim to fame, the Housewives of New Jersey. There's a whole feud going on with Theresa Giudice and pretty much everyone on the show at this point, but specifically with her sister Melissa Gorga what's your opinion on this?
Greg: That's a whole family issue. I don't think there is really a right and a wrong or a good guy and bad guy. Each side has their own points that they bring up during their arguments, the boys and I try and stay out of everything out here in Hoboken. But I love them both; I think they are both really nice girls. I love Melissa, she's a lot of fun, she's a hoot, I love Theresa as well, I was actually at the fashion show with her in season two when Danielle got here hair pulled, I'm sitting right next to her if you look back and watch. They are both very nice, I can see why they would argue, they are both very similar, but they are both great and will get over it eventually.
Fenuxe: It's just kind of sad to watch this family feud get played out on television.
Greg: I guess it's upsetting to watch yourself fight with your family on TV, but I think it's done nothing but make them want to make the situation better, to be honest.
Fenuxe: I think even Theresa was quoted recently saying that she pretty much regrets doing the show because of all of the family drama.
Greg: I'm sure they are both upset about how things have played out, but I know they are working on it. I didn't film with them much this season. I'm kind of watching it happen as you are. I hear things and see things but I don't get to see it play out until the show actually airs.
Fenuxe: Have you heard Melissa's new single, "On Display?" Do you like it?
Greg: Of course, I have! It's on my cardio playlist! I do like it! I actually have heard it since last winter when she was recording it on the show and she had it on my computer and she made me delete it. So, I love it when I first heard it and I'm very happy for her. It's doing so well on iTunes! It's like number 14 on the dance charts; it's doing really, really well. She's doing her thing
Fenuxe: What do you feel about how Ashley Holmes is being displayed on the show? It seems like they are making her out to be a huge bitch?
Greg: I know Ashley enough to know that her issues with her mom (Jacqueline) are mother daughter issues, that the boys and I try and stay out of because it's none of our business, but I know she is a very talented artist with a lot of potential. I know she is trying to get her act together. I know that everybody goes through their early twenties and they don't know what they want to do. It just sucks to have those growing pains and I'm sure she will be fine. It has to be hard, but I know she loves her family very much and her family loves her.
Fenuxe: I'm sure she has her fair share of haters, that I'm sure you have no idea about! We love your snarky comments and attitude on the show!
Greg: Thank you, I appreciate it!
Fenuxe: Love Deloris, Deloris van Cartier via Sister Act, your dog. She's a great character for the show.
Greg: Thanks, she's a bitch, though she's 700 years old, so it's acceptable.
Fenuxe: Tell us about Theresa Giudice, she seems to be living a luxurious lifestyle to be going through all of these supposed financial issues?
Greg: You know, I really don't know. I don't count her money; I don't know what she's doing. I know that she's working hard and selling her books and has 900 book signings a week and she's hustling making money, good for her. Both of her books are on the New York Times best seller list, she's a bestselling author now, not many people can say that, I wish I could!
Fenuxe: Ok, understandable, now tell us what you think of the infamous Kim G?
Greg: Ugh, I don't even know her, to be honest with you. She was at the holiday party and that fashion show. I'm friends with her son, Johnny, Chris' best friend; love him he's a great guy. I don't know what her deal is or what planet she lives on or what she's trying to do. She's whatever; I don't think she's going to be around anymore. The only times I have ever seen her in public, she's trying to cause trouble. Some people just think that negative attention is a good idea. I just don't understand how she thinks starting drama with these established women with fan bases is a good idea. But to each his own.
Fenuxe: What do you think about the whole Jersey Shore "Situation", getting paid to stop wearing Abercrombie and Fitch?
Greg: I know, isn't that hilarious! Though I think it's all a publicity stunt, because I know Abercrombie has a shirt that says GTL on it. I think they were just trying to get attention.
The housewives are taking the weekend off in honor of labor day so while you are waiting their return…check out a webisode of "Boys to Manzo."

The gross cash flow among other factors is usually dependent on the scale and size of the organization of a representative, sales number and the override that is spread on every sale, and your efforts and ability as well as that of your downlines.
Before one decides to join the business opportunity, it is important for them to study the compensation plan very well. This will enable them to understand how payments are done and where they need to focus most of their effort and time so as to get maximum return on their investment.
Primerica Review – Success Blueprint >>>
In conclusion, Primerica is a company that is legitimate with legitimate products and services that many people benefit from. With an extensive history of solid reputation, and over 100,000 licensed representatives with around 10% of them earning 7 figure incomes.
For one to be successful in the business of network marketing, it is important that they learn to connect with as many people as possible, so as to increase the chances of signing new reps into the business opportunity.
A good way to do this is via the internet using an attraction marketing system, as this will allow you to reach a much wider audience, and will put your business on the fast track to success.

"I'm a yankee who married a Texan. After 10 years, this recipe was my first attempt at making Chicken Fried Steak. I never thought I would get it right, so I never wanted to try.

GIR calculator for iOS
1Sep 7, '13 by SteveNNPHey all,
Just wanted to let you in on something helpful that I use in NICU a lot, especially on micros who are on a lot of trickle drips and whose d-sticks are all over the place. It's called GIRCalculator (search for it - one word- in the app store on your iphone).
It allows you to easily calculated the combined GIR of all your drips infusing into the baby and give you an idea of how to tweak them.
Hope you guys find this helpful!

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Events Manual
Here is the draft manual for the events application in your guild sites. I'll field any event module questions, bug reports and feature requests here as well.
Events The GuildCafe event system is powerful application designed to support the types of events that are common in games: raids, quests, tournaments and other events where your attendees will typically play a particular role or character type. Events can be one-time or recurring and have a large number of features for you to control and track attendance. (Much thanks to the Section One guild who ran this application for all their raid events on the Archimonde server for over a year and developed the "business rules" regarding, standbys, benching, permanent slots and attendence.) Important Concepts Because the event system has a lot of options, it is helpful to understand some of the key concepts within it. The system was originally designed to handle large, 40-person (or larger) raids and PVP events in MMORPGs, but has grown to support events large and small, MMO-and-not. A number of the terms and techniques used in the event system were developed based on what was learned to work well in making things streamlined and easy to manage. Recurring Events A recurring event is one that occurs at a regular interval: daily, weekly or monthly. Recurring events have special challenges, such as maintaining the attendance list from event to event and rewarding those with good attendance. The GuildCafe event system helps you with this by allowing you to record attendance and transfer the list of people who showed up for an event to the pre-registered list for the next iteration of a recurring eventâor to penalize no-shows by removing them from the recurring roster. Permanent Slots Permanent slots are a concept around recurring events, as far as the GuildCafe is concerned, these folks are merely registered. The concept becomes important in cases like WoW where finding and getting in a group for high level content is difficult. Permanent Slots are away of rewarding people who reliably show up for an event with preferential treament. A person/character that has been accepted by the event manager as Registered for a recurring event is considered to occupy a Permanent Slot and thus be guaranteed a place everytime the event runs. Stand-bys When there are no permanent slots available or a person thinks they might like to attend, but are not sure if they can really make it, they can "go on standby" This allows the event manager to keep track of people who are interested but not committed to showing up. If someone with a Permanent slot "benches themselves", the event manager may choose a player on stand-by to fill in for that recurrance. Stand-bys carry over from recurrence to recurrence unless dropkicked by the event manager. Waiting for a Permanent Slot An event manager may promote a person/character on standby to Waiting for a Permanent Slot at their discretion. This reminds the event manager that this person is someone who is ready to commit to attending the event regularly so that they can be given priority when a temporary or permanent slot opens up. Like Stand-by, people who are Waiting for a Permanent Slot carry over from recurrence to recurrence unless dropkicked by the event manager. Benching A "benched" person is someone with a Permanent Slot who knows in advance they can't make it. You can configure whether an event allows "benching." If so, allow a person to remove themselves from the current occurance event in advance. If not, registered attendees will only have the option to remove themselves permanently from the event A benched person person is automatically returned to their permanent slot when the next iteration of the recurring event is created. Benching for multiple recurrances must be accomplished manually by the event administrator. It's a nice way of keeping track of members who ordinarily show for a recurring event but who need to be away for a period of time, but don't wish to be permanently removed. Slots A slot is a position in an event that must be played by a particular character type. For example, in an MMORPG you could indicate exactly how many slots you need to be played by a given class. Coordinating Events There are three main steps to coordinating an event:
From the management interface, click on the "Events" tab. There, you'll see a calendar that's marked with the dates of any events you've scheduled already, as well as a list of upcoming and previous events. Click the "New Event" button to create a new event. On the form that appears, you'll be able to customize your event as follows:
Joining an Event Your members may join an event by clicking on the "Events" option from your group's navigation bar. They might also arrive at a specific event by clicking on the "Upcoming Events" advertisement that's automatically included in your announcements section (if you created a public event, they might arrive here from other event directories on GuildCafe as well.) Managing Registrations As people register for the event, they'll be recorded based on the class they play; in other words, if someone plays a "warrior" then they'll automatically be added to the warrior slots for an event. You can review the list of registrations for your event by visiting the Events tab from the management interface. Under "Modify User Registrations" you'll see the total people who have registered along with their member names (as well as the character names they plan to play). From here, you can change anyone's status: remove them from the event, change them to a standby or bench them, or approve them (if you're requiring approval). Seeing a registration log You can see a list of everyone who has registered, been approved or been removed for an event, as well as a log of any of the editing changes, by clicking on the button labeled "View Log for this Event" on the event management/editing page. Closing an Event You close an event when the event has finished, or when you've decided to cancel it. If you close a recurring event, this is when you have the opportunity to review everyone's attendance and decide whether they should be carried over to the next iteration of the event, or dropped from the registration roster. To close an event:
Feature request: Make it possible to put the calendar on the front page in lieu of linking to it.
Feature Request - Unable to attend
I think it would be nice to allow players to also register the fact they cannot attend an event (and if possible allow a few lines for them to give reasons). This will do two things:
1. Allow a player to show he has seen the event post and acknowledged it 2. Show the event organiser a more realistic picture of who has seen the event. At present the organiser only sees the attendees and probably wonders how many have actually seen the post other than those that have said they are attending. Players want to support their guilds but when RL committments get in the way it's only polite to allow people to make their apologies |
It would also be nice to have more general classes to choose the slot openings like Tank, Healer, DPS. I don't care necessarily how many Paladins, Priests, Shaman, etc show up but I do care how many healers will be there.
Is there a way to show multiple events at once on the home page? if not, can we make this a possibility please?
I began an event but now want to remove it - but I cannot. Is there a way to remove an event that has been listed?
Yes, I did cancel it. |
Event module customers will be happy to know that this feature is being worked on as part of a whole upgrade our guild hosting.
Being able to delete events is already on the list. I will add displaying more than one event on the homepage to the list. |
We had an event that was reoccuring, but we closed and canceled it. Now, it shows up every week on the calendar as canceled.
Also, the drop kick absenteees feature is not working, it still has everyone from the week before whether or not the boxes are checked/unchecked. It would be nice to have the option to clear attendance and/or create the next run with a blank roster (ie, people have to sign up every week for that event regardless of past attendance). |
What does it take to have rights to post an event, when I use your instructions I do not have an events tab. I am however listed as a guild leader.
I set up a reoccurring event, but the date and time are not showing up correctly. It keeps saying it's for Nov 30, 1999 at 1pm. It should be for every Friday at 5pm. Any way to fix this? I've tried repeatedly to edit it, but it still comes up the same.

Iloilo shows off Visayas' first green building
-A A +AWednesday, August 15, 2012
THE new Iloilo City Hall building is considered the first green building in the Visayas after installing several energy conservation facilities aimed to lower electric power consumption.
Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog said the City Hall rooftop is fitted with solar panels that assisted air-conditioning units to all offices at the whole seventh floor.
The seven-storey New City Hall, with its roof deck and landscaped green plants and the "Lin-ay Sang Iloilo" (Ilonggo Pride Statue), is currently the newest tourist attraction in the city.
The City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro) reported that the solar system was able to save P710,218 per year or some P59,000 per month with 36 metric tons of carbon dioxide avoided per month.
Similarly, a rain harvesting facility will soon be operational at the rooftop and rainwater will be used by all offices for flushing toilets and a water treatment device will be installed for recycling water for other uses at the City Hall.
Mabilog said the energy conservation programs practiced at City Hall has already effected a lower electric power consumption and also on the reduction of greenhouse gas emission and air pollution.
The International Council for Local Environment Initiatives (ICLEI) program on clean air and air pollution has recognized the city for its energy conservation (enercon) programs since 2004 up to the present.
Other enercon programs implemented by the City Government include the lamp retrofitting project of changing incandescent bulbs to high pressure sodium lights in 10,050 city street lights.
The program was able to save P82,680 per day with saved power of 6,360 kilowatthour (kwh) per day and avoided 3,752 kilograms of greenhouse gas per day.
Lamp retrofitting was also encouraged by the City Government for the private sector with a conversion from incandescent lamps to compact fluorescent lamps. This is being implemented in the hospitals and shopping malls.

Uh... ok boss. Here was RedWolf's request:
It was done last year but due to personal reasons before, G'rr never got a chance to color it. Anyone care to color it for G'rr? G'rr will give you full credits for coloring it. @ kano: Agreed. She doesn't look exactly like Makie at all... hehe. @ Kota: Ah... that's a nice thing to do. Wanna try your hand in coloring RedWolf's request pic? If you do good, G'rr might probably do your request, if you still want one though... |

2 Then our mouth was filled with joy; and our tongue with full out joying. Then they shall say among heathen men; The Lord magnified to do with them. (Then our mouths were filled with joy; and ours tongues with rejoicing. And the heathen said to each other, The Lord hath done great things for them.) | 2 Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." |
3 The Lord magnified to do with us; we be made glad. (Yea, the Lord did great things for us; and we were glad.) | 3 The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. |
4 Lord, turn thou (again) our captivity; as a strand in the south. (Lord, return thou the captives/return thou our prosperity; like the streams return to the south.) | 4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negev. |

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 Hampton!
Facts about Hampton
- Breed: Black Mouth Cur/Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Hampton's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hampton was rescued from a high kill shelter just minutes before been put to sleep. He is a 7 month old Hound/Cur Mix he weights 40lbs right now but really needs to gain some weight. He is a sweet friendly boy, his tail never stops wagging. He is fostered in a home with children, several other dogs and lots of cats and is gentle and friendly with everyone. He is neutered and had all his shots and ready to find his forever home. His adoption fee is $150. Contact us for an application if you have room at your Inn for lovely Hampton.
Other Pets at Recycled Orphans Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hampton, a Seminole Black Mouth Cur/Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Black Mouth Cur/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Seminole, or seeking a Black Mouth Cur/Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Seminole.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seminole 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 Seminole 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 Black Mouth Cur/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Black Mouth Cur/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seminole paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm probably a little late to the game in reviewing this, but ah well, such is life.
This is a decent little quad. I wouldn't say it's worth paying full price for it, but if you can find it on offer like I did, it's a decent deal. The colors include 3 cooler toned basically matte neutrals, and one warm bronzey shade with a touch of shimmer. It's a bit like the Naked Basics palette, with the taupe shade coming in only slightly cooler than the shade Naked 2 in Basics.
Texture is ok enough. The shadows don't blend as nicely as those in Naked Basics, but they also have less fallout because they are a bit more densely packed. You win some, you lose some I guess.
I'm highly skeptical that this quad would work for anyone with a deeper skin tone. The shadows aren't terribly pigmented and it might appear chalky.
Staying power is pretty good if used with a primer, a decent 6 hours of wear with minimal creasing on my super insanely oily lids.
I love this palette for travel because it is compact and can take me from a light day look to something slightly more dramatic for evening. Keep in mind, I am very pale, so it doesn't take a lot to create a dramatic look for me. If you're looking to play around with neutrals or cooler shades, this is a reasonable place to start. I'm not wowed by the quality, but it's certainly pretty decent.

Love-hate relationship with this quad. The colours are nice neutral browns and I like the second to last shadow the most and the first shadow for a nice natural highlight. But the last colour which is a dark brown has really bad colour pay off, but I guess it would be okay for my eyebrows but I don't even need to fill them in so its pretty much of no use to me along with the second shade which I never use as it would be way too light as a crease colour. It has it's pros and cons but I wouldn't repurchase as I have colours that are similar which have way better pigmentation

I use this quad everyday. It's so easy to apply (even when it's 6 in the morning, my eyes are half closed and i haven't turned the lights on) and the colours don't crease without primer (i wouldn't say it lasts for 12 hours... more like 6-7).
I have asian eyes with little/no eyelid so i just use the second lightest coour as a wash from the eyelashes to the eye socket. I then use a smaller brush with the darkest brown as eyeliner on top and bottom for a very subtle smokey effect.
The only colour i don't use is the coppery/red brown shade as it doesn't reall suit my colouring... but other than that, i've got nothing but love for this eyeshadow quad!

This is a very beautiful neutral quad from this line. I have one in Copper Spice, which I liked but it dropped and the highlight color was smashed and made a mess.
I liked Copper Spice, but because it broke so easily that I never repurchased until recently. I got this one sale, and I must say that I like this one more than Copper Spice.
There is only one satiny/shimmery shade which is a reddish brown which does not have that chalky/glittery/lack or pigmentation mess that Drugstore Brands like to package which is nice.
I used this for work one morning instead of my UD Naked palette and this palette was surprisly easy to use, colour co-ordinated, pigmented and the lasting power was great (with the help of UDPP of course). There is an off white/cream shade that is not too white, a light taupe which is good for blending out colours or a highlight if youre darker and a really nice dark brown.
I really cant deal with the lack of pigmentation with drugstore e/s so I usually shy away and if I do buy them, I often wouldnt re-purchase.
I may not repurchase this one because I just have too many e/s altogether, but dont get me wrong, I definitely do recommend this quad and I may just pick up another set.

I received this as part of a gift with purchase promotion.
My skin is quite tanned, and I found that the two lightest colours did not show up on me at all. The white highlighter shade is chalky and not flattering in the least. The light 'lid' shade is okay but since you can't see it on my skin, kind of pointless. Both these shades are matt.
The third shade is a shimmery copper. This is my favourite shade out of the palette. It doesn't come up too shimmery, though, and needs a bit of build up before it shows, but you get there eventually. It's quite smooth and blendable, and I quite like it.
The last shade is supposed to be for your V and liner too, but it's just not dark enough on me and is kind of blah. It shows up, so pigmentation is okay, but it's nothing great.
I use a primer underneath the shadows, so it really is just an issue of pigmentation and product quality.
Wouldn't buy again since half the quad is useless to me. Might work better on fair-skinned lasses.

If I can use this palette to create a neutral/subtle eye, anyone can. I find this great for doing an entire eye "look", as opposed to just one eye shadow as a wash of color. (Which is what I've graduated from). This palette made it easy.
I really like the combination of colors, and that the directions are on the bottom of the palette itself, not just on the outer packaging that gets thrown away.
I can't say anything about wear time, as I almost always use a base, but I always have to take this stuff off with makeup remover at the end of the night.
This is always in my makeup bag.

hola ! buscando un conjunto de sombras para lograr unos ojos ahumados me encontre con estas sombras de revlon. tengo la piel grasa y si bien uso primer o corrector para fijar las sombras a veces necesito retocar mi make up a los apurones (esta mal ya lo se!)y no tengo tiempo para desmaquillar y volver a sombrear y el resultado no es muy favorable; es por eso que buscaba una sombra de buena duracion aporx 3/4 horas. sinceramente esta supero mis espectativas. los colores de esta paleta para mi pueden ir con todos los colores de ojos! pero destaco que a las de ojos marrones y verdes le puede resultar mas favorecedora. el esfumino que viene con la caja es practico, aunque para las sombras prefiero usar pinceles. como unica desventaja hay colores que en pieles oscuras se ven muy parecidos :/ pero bueno, el iluminador es muy util, y no da un efecto demasiado satinado algo que no me parece muy favorecedor! en argentina sale alrededorde $60 argentinos alrededor de u$s 15 y se consigue en parafarmacias/farmacias
