Ardell Natural Eye Lashes
Great lash Enhancer
I love Ardell lashes. I have worn them almost daily for a decade. This are great for filling out and adding length to your own lashes.
Make sure to apply mascara prior to applying and you get a nice set of high/low staggered lashes.
Ardell are the easiest to work with as the line of adhesive is the most flexible to fit your eye better. This particular pair-#104- I do not have to trim. They are a little less lengthy than some and take a thin bead of glue very well.
These are a good day to night pair that make your eyes pop.
November 23, 2013
nice length; flimsy glue line
these lashes are great; they have a great length and look very natural; only drawback is the glue line is very thin and the lash use is limited to about 2 wearings

Great full lashes
The best part about these lashes is the fullness. You wil not be disappointed.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune has compiled a list of 10 business newsmakers to watch in 2012, and Susan Marvin, president of Marvin Windows and Doors, is in great company on that list. The list also includes Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis; Omar Ishrak, CEO of Medtronic; and William Cooper, chairman and CEO of TCF Financial Corp.
The Star Tribune writes, "Industry groups have forecast only modest recovery in window and door sales this year. Marvin has kept its financial house in order, which has helped it survive the downturn and positioned it to benefit when the housing market revives."
If 2012 is anything like 2011 — a year that saw the company covered by an in-depth feature story from the New York Times and discussed in a major speech from President Obama — it's sure to be another great year for Marvin Windows and Doors.

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 Noble!
Facts about Noble
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Noble's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Noble was found by CARE in the local pound. He was with his friend Barnes, we think they may be father and son or brothers. They are approximately 2 years old. Noble is outgoing and playful.
Please call CARE @ (804) 288-9797 or apply online and ask Sandy about Noble.
Other Pets at CARE-Cat Adoption Rescue Effort
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Noble, a Richmond Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hi All, So I'm wondering which way should be pointing up for a straw bale garden. The narrow side or the flat side where the strings run across? Thanks! DT |
Follow-Up Postings:
The wide flat side where the strings are. Dave |
You want the strings to run horizontal to the ground. You never want the strings on the ground, as they will rot. |
- Posted by gardener_mary 6 MA (My Page) on Wed, Apr 2, 14 at 5:12
I was just reading a bit about this - You want the tubes of straw vertical so that water will run through them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Straw Bale Gardens
- Posted by darthtrader 10 SoCal (My Page) on Thu, Apr 3, 14 at 16:20
I'm in a bit of a pickle then. The tubes of straw on my bales are on the string sides, so one side of strings would have to be in contact with the ground in order for the tube openings to be up. What would you all recommend I do? |

These excellent quick disconnects made by Anderson Power Products. If you are worried about the Amp handling of these connectors, you shouldn't because the insulation on your power lines will start to melt before these fail. And just as the page says, you must buy TWO of these to make a connection. If you have a small trunk or just need to have your subs removed every now and then to make room, please pick these up. I am able to remove my system in 1-2 min and put it back in in the same amount of time.

I purchased a portable generator three years ago and had battery problems from the beginning. The problem was a battery that was too small to handle the starting of the generator. It had to be a warm day and the battery would not last but a few months. My solution was to use a car size battery and plug it into my generator when it was needed. The SB50 was the perfect answer. I only had to drill one hole to mount one of the SB50s and attached another one to the battery. Now I have zero problems starting the generator.

It's important to emphasize that money for the initiative doesn't come from taxpayer contributions. Instead, the cash is being supplied by the Daniels Fund, the brainchild of the late Bill Daniels, who made his fortune from cable television. (The Daniels Fund regularly issues grants to groups dedicated to mitigating substance abuse; the issue was important to Daniels, an alcoholic who licked his addiction following a stint at the Betty Ford Center.) According to DF spokesman Peter Droege, the fund's charter requires that awards be given only to non-profit organizations or what he calls "governmental equivalents." Hence, Denver's Office of Drug Strategies, which recently took over Parents Are the Power duties from the Denver District Attorney's Office, is fulfilling something of a middleman function.
A March executive summary provided to Councilwoman Judy Montero points out that the "City & County of Denver will serve primarily as a fiscal agent for this grant, with the greatest share of the funding being passed through to 9News." This document lists a total fund appropriation of $535,000, meaning that administrative expenses and so on will likely eat up approximately $30,000 of the sum.
Even if the government won't lose dough on this transaction, however, the Parents Are the Power deal raises questions about propriety and favoritism. Even though 9News came up with the idea for the initiative and drew together the partners that made it a reality, the city is still facilitating a hefty disbursement to a single station when general managers at other area signals say they'd be eager to participate. "It does seem strange that they've put all of their eggs in one basket," says Channel 2's Jim Zerwekh. "Any effective media buy includes multiple outlets." Channel 31's Bill Schneider echoes these sentiments: "There are a variety of media that could participate in this kind of program, including other television and radio stations."
As for Channel 7's Darrell Brown, he argues that "if the city is interested in informing the community on educational issues, like making parents better parents, it would be in their best interest, and in the Daniels Fund's best interest, to open it up to other stations. The more participation you have, the better off you'd be. It's an issue important to all of Colorado, not just the people who watch Channel 9."
While that's undeniably true, credit 9News for its expertise at creating community-service missions that provide residual benefits for the station. Its roster is led by the 9 Health Fair, an annual event that provides medical screenings to the general public; Buddy Check 9, which encourages women to do monthly breast self-examinations; and 9 Teachers Who Care, a search for inspirational educators. These offerings are heavily advertised via thirty-second announcements that are every bit as effective as more straightforward promos -- not to mention extended segments during daily newscasts that further polish the station's reputation, albeit at the cost of diminishing the amount of airtime allotted to actual news. Other area stations have emulated such undertakings, but none of their variations have been as successful as efforts like Parents Are the Power, which improves on 9News's trademark formula by letting someone else pay for it.
Channel 9 business-development manager Lorii Rabinowitz says the initiative's inspiration was Drug Free Arizona, a Maricopa County Attorney's Office venture that's affiliated with KPNX-TV, 9News's sister station in Phoenix. In 2004, after assembling ideas about how to adapt the program for Colorado, 9News personnel approached the district attorney's office in Denver, then being run by Bill Ritter, who's currently the presumptive Democratic nominee for governor of Colorado. The DA's minions liked the notion, and as discussions continued, the Daniels Fund was mentioned as a possible collaborator. Together these entities concocted a proposal that sailed through City Council in 2004 -- and why not? The plan targeted a good cause and didn't require any withdrawal from the city's bank account. Moreover, because the funds were private, the measure didn't have to be put up for bid.
Next, the principals assembled what Rabinowitz calls "an expert team that worked closely on the spots and the content of our website," which is linked on 9News.com's homepage. These assistants include staffers with the city's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division (ADAD) and folks from Urban Peak and Arapahoe House, among other establishments. "Channel 9 is not the creator of the message," notes the Daniels Fund's Droege. "From its very beginning, the Parents Are the Power campaign was really the result of a bunch of grassroots organizations involved in either drug-and-alcohol prevention or picking up the pieces of broken lives."

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 Sonny ~ Adoption Pending!
Facts about Sonny ~ Adoption Pending
- Breed: Pekingese/Pomeranian Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Sonny ~ Adoption Pending's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet poor little Sonny! Sonny is approx. 3-4 months old and was brought in to the the vets to be put down, flea infested and with a broken leg - their kid had dropped poor little Sonny! Well, that's all behind him now - his leg has healed and he's a healthy happy little boy!!
Other Pets at Legacy Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sonny ~ Adoption Pending, a Youngstown Pekingese/Pomeranian puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pekingese/Pomeranian for sale in Youngstown, or seeking a Pekingese/Pomeranian puppy from a breeder in Youngstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Youngstown 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 Youngstown 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 Pekingese/Pomeranian breeders who help with Pekingese/Pomeranian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Youngstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Despite the fact that we haven't located ETs yet, it's almost inevitable that we will eventually, because there are three times as many stars in the universe as previously thought, meaning there are trillions of earthlike planets. This conclusion is based on new observations that have revealed other galaxies that have very different structures from our own Milky Way. This also explains the mystery of "dark matter."
Using the a powerful new telescope in Hawaii, astronomers found that galaxies much older than ours that contain 20 times more red dwarf stars than more recent ones. Red dwarf stars are smaller and dimmer than our own sun and it's thought that they are likely to be planets orbiting them that are conducive to the evolution of (hopefully, intelligent) life. In BBC News, Pallab Ghosh quotes astronomer Pieter van Dokkum as saying, "Red dwarfs are typically more than 10 billion years old and so have been around long enough for complex life to evolve on planets around them. It's one reason why people are interested in this type of star."
And the dark matter mystery? Ghosh quotes astronomer Marek Kukula as saying, "The discovery of more stars in the universe means that we might not need quite as much dark matter as we thought to explain how the universe looks and behaves." As we get ready to move into 2011, you'll be glad to know that there aren't just bubbles in the champagne you'll drink on New Year's Eve--They are bubbling up from the center of the Milky Way galaxy as well. NASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has revealed two HUGE bubbles of energy erupting from the center of our galaxy, and each one contains the energy of 100,000 supernova explosions. New York Times, Dennis Overbye quotes astronphysicist Doug Finkbeiner as saying, "They're big." That's an understatement--each bubble is the size of galaxy. Their source remains a mystery. Overbye quotes astrophysicist David Spergel as saying, "Wow. And we think we know a lot about our own galaxy." Nobody suspected they were there until now.
Here at unknowncountry.com, we think we know a lot about our own galaxy as well and what we know is that--some way, somehow--ETs are here and they are visiting people regularly. Anne Strieber has an ongoing project in which she interviews these people about what THEIR experiences have REALLY BEEN LIKE, and has posted thirteen of them so far--including Nick and Darin (who is also interviewed by Whitley in this week's subscriber interview)--just for our subscribers.

Louise Wika (left), of Burbank, and Stephanie Ivanjack (right), of Oak Lawn, visit with Now & Again Resale Antiques and Collectibles owner Donna Mufich, of Chicago, at the counter of the store. | Ginger Brashinger~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: June 29, 2014 6:08AM
When Donna Mufich became the owner of Now & Again Resale Antiques and Collectibles in Palos Hills in 1994, she was "initially scared to death," she said.
Mufich, 55, of Chicago's West Beverly neighborhood, didn't doubt her business skills. She had been learning the resale business as a two-year renter and decorator at the specialty store and already had years of management, window dressing and merchandising experience from previous positions at retail stores.
Mufich's concern was that she might not be able to maintain the level of success Now & Again owner Jolene Demenna had had with the customer and renter base she had developed and nurtured over the years.
Mufich needn't have worried, and apparently didn't for very long.
"This was a natural thing, a creative thing and I've always been a decorator so it felt as if this was going to work no matter what happened," Mufich said.
A great deal has happened in 20 years, but despite the fading of a once-frenetic antiquing fad, the challenges that many brick-and-mortar businesses have faced from online businesses and a struggling economy, Now & Again still is going strong at 10714 S. Roberts Road.
Mufich used her business sense to keep business moving forward, holding sales continually throughout the year and keeping costs down by advertising in emails to her customer base, on the website — www.nowandagainresale.com — and with flyers.
And word-of-mouth has been good for business, too.
For most of the last 20 years, Mufich said, an annual fall sale is held on the Saturday closest to Halloween, an event that started small and has grown to "cult status," according to Stephanie Ivanjack, a longtime renter and "girl Friday" to Mufich.
The store closes at 5 p.m. and the "girls" transform the shop's ambience and themselves into Halloween-themed creatures, reopening at 8 p.m. and offering refreshments and a 20 percent-off sale.
"Customers line up down the sidewalk," Mufich said.
Mufich and her renters also work consistently to keep the booths and windows fresh, adding new items continuously and keeping up with trends and fads.
Mufich creates "we windows," window displays that have never been repeated in 20 years, by using items from every booth, not only as a unique visual experience, but as a deliberate act of unity, she said.
"I think that creates a greater bond of everyone," Mufich said. "It's not about me."
But there is more to the magic of her success than decorating and business savvy.
Mufich said every businessowner needs others to help build a successful business and to that end she began to build her customer base by taking a personal interest in the people who came into her store.
"Our clientele is repeat," Mufich said. "Over a period of time, I watch them grow up and have children, and those children come here now. I follow each one of their stories."
Mufich said her goal is for customers to view a visit to the store as "the best part" of their day, something to look forward to.
"Your troubles stop at the door," Mufich said. "You walk in and you're in a good mood. Customers say, 'I just needed this fix.' "
Mufich also has made the other half of the equation work by creating strong relationships with her Now & Again "family" of renters, people she has taught about the business and then watched grow into the role, she said.
Ivanjack said Mufich's "very high standards" have made all the difference for maintaining and growing both a loyal customer and renter base.
A large part of that success is because the renters follow the rules, Ivanjack said, including Mufich, who handles her own booth in the shop.
"You don't bring dirty; you don't bring broken; you don't bring stinky," Ivanjack said. "You don't leave your booth in disarray."
It isn't about Mufich cracking the whip. It's about following the first rule of business that "customer service is key," Mufich said, and everyone adheres to that code.
Mufich leaves nothing to chance, setting her renters and the store up for success before a new person ever comes on board.
"I hand-pick our renters," Mufich said. "Usually they are customers and I see how they shop and how they buy."
Her observations tell Mufich a lot about the potential renter's personality, she said, and that helps her to make a decision about their inclusion.
A nearly 20-year waiting list of potential renters tells the tale of the store's reputation among dealers. Once a renter is chosen, she becomes part of the Now & Again family.
Louise Wika, a part-time caregiver, is a case in point. The Burbank resident said for about eight years she would stop in at Now & Again every Friday on her way home from work and "bought a lot of stuff over the years.
"It was a nice peaceful end to a busy, hectic week and I'd spend a couple of hours ... just floating around," Wika said. "It was peaceful, (I) loved the music. ... and it always smelled so good."
When Mufich asked Wika if she would be interested in becoming a renter, Wika teamed up with her sister, Freddi Barus, and the two have rented a booth for three years.
Mufich humbly gives her "girls" credit for the store's success.
"The dealers make the store," Mufich said. "I'm only the creator of how it came to pass. Yes, I taught them as best I knew how, but I've watched these girls carry the ball and go forward and be able to handle it. They motivate me now. I'm so proud."

Chinese-American billionaire philanthropist Oscar Tang, who bought and privatized Kampgrounds of America 32 years ago, said he has no plans to sell or move the company from Billings.
"It's a very professionally run company. Their values are very close to mine, so I haven't had to micro-manage," Tang said.
In a Tuesday interview with Tang at his New York City office, he said owned between 20 percent and 30 percent of KOA when he spotted an opportunity to buy the company in 1980 at a deep discount. U.S. travel dropped sharply as gas prices spiked following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. RVs were considered "dinosaurs" and KOA's stock tanked.
In 1962, Billings businessmen David Drum and three partners who wanted to capitalize on the stream of travelers heading to the Seattle World's Fair, started Billings Campgrounds, now KOA.
Billings had no campgrounds and city officials, fearful of tourists flooding into the parks, agreed to extend city services over to Drum's first site on Garden Avenue north of the Yellowstone River near the expected route of the future Interstate 90.
KOA was the first to succeed in building a national network of campgrounds and survived the energy crises that destroyed a majority of competitors. Tang paid an undisclosed amount for KOA at a fire sale because the stock was so low, using what is now called a leveraged buyout. Using his 20 to 30 percent stock ownership as collateral, Tang convinced a bank to give him the money to buy KOA and then paid back the bank relatively quickly.
"I could have sold it in a few years after buying it and had a great rate of return," Tang said. "But it's a wonderful business in a stable environment."
Since then, he's rebuffed numerous offers to sell. Tang will be in Billings on Aug. 20 for KOA's annual board meeting.
Tang doesn't have to disclose sales or earnings of KOA because it's now privately held. A Dun & Bradstreet estimate that KOA produced $40 million in revenues last year is accurate, he said, but it only counts the 26 company-owned campgrounds, not revenues from the other 484 sites owned by others through franchise agreements.
Saying KOA's leaders have always shared his values, Tang said Jim Rogers, a "people person" who he hired as chief executive a dozen years ago, has re-energized the company.
In the next 50 years, KOA will grow larger by buying campgrounds or convincing independents to join the company, he said.
The focus on destination campgrounds near popular vacation spots will continue, he said, because camping in a tent, an RV, or a cabin is taking the place of vacation homes for many families.
Overseas growth also is a possibility.
KOA already sells its professional-service systems to a campground company in Australia and is eying Tang's homeland.
"We are interested in what's happening in China," he said. "There is a phenomenal number of highways being built there and people want to see their country."

Promotions and Organization
Promoting is very time consuming as we all know. The vast majority of us have MySpace pages and use those as much as possible of course. Then there is Facebook and Yuku as well. I'm on both of those, but must admit I don't really have the time to keep those sites updated.
What about blogging? I tend to believe that blogging is the most important tool in marketing our books. People do read your blogs-- if you get the word out about them that is. I personally had seven blogs I contributed to. I've cut back. Had to. The problem with blogging is that we seem to talk about the same subjects over and over. You need to be a bit creative in my opinion. No one wants to read an excerpt every single time they visit your blog. Chances are they've already seen it on a group and that's where they found out about your blog. I try to have conversations with people. Just act as though we were sitting around a table in a restaurant or in the kitchen at home and having a chat.
I probably push the envelope a bit more than some too. For instance, I share a blog with Jade Twilight. Sensual Secrets. http://sensualnsecret.blogspot.com
It's an erotic blog. Some would say a sex blog. All I know is that we get tons of hits. What do we discuss? All things sex. How tos, experiences, fantasies, etc. Jade and I switch off weeks and this is my week to post. So I'm having "random thoughts week". I posted this morning about sex and Presidential politics. It's a fun way to get your thoughts out there and discover new readers as well.
But let's face it, no matter what we do to promote, we have to be incredibly organized. And I'm not very organized. No matter what I schedule, something happens to change it. Everything from kid emergencies to mood swings. lol So what do you do to stay organized. I'd love to hear about your tips on organization and on promotions too.
Paige Tyler will be here tomorrow with more hawt hawt hunks. Can't wait to see this one. I'll be back next Monday.
Blowing Kisses,

I try to post different things on my blog then I do on my myspace blog. Sometimes I get lazy and feel guilty about it.
When I post excerpts and promos - I try to be creative while honest. I figure readers who frequent several of groups read what shows and only open to read if you've interested them. So, the first two or three sentences of your posts need to be well thought out. Friendly, inviting and like you said, Paige, personal. Talk to them, not at them.
It's time consuming, but I've seen the difference of what happens to movement of A Psychic Hitch when I change up the posts versus copying and pasting the same thing in all 40 or so groups I belong to.
And it's important to hang around and get to know people. Check back to see if there are comments to your posts - you never want to ignore them.
Show up for chats your publisher has scheduled for their authors. Even if it's to post and explain why you can't stay.
In my line of work, customer perception is of major importance.
We also live by the saying 'there is no 'I' in teamwork. - June 3, 2008 at 11:06 AM

Sorry Tess, I was just looking at Paiges eye candy and she's on the brain. Where does she find them?

I'm a long time blogger, and I post about stuff that happens to my life.
I joined Romance Divas a couple of months ago and have been participating on Thursdays thirteen, and we visit each others blog.
I also do Feline Fridays too. It helps to have a routine. - June 4, 2008 at 12:46 AM

Maintaining its goal of 35 to 42 787 deliveries in 2012, Boeing's Commercial Airplanes CEO Jim Albaugh says the company is considering ramping up production at its North Charleston, South Carolina final assembly line to further bolster the advance to 10 787s per month at the end of 2013.
"I've seen nothing to date that leads me to believe that we won't deliver all the 787s we have in our plan by the end of the year," says Albaugh, who was speaking at the JP Morgan Aviation, Transportation and Defense conference in New York.
Having delivered five 787s to date since September 2011, all to Japan's All Nippon Airways, Boeing output has slowed due to required repairs to the aft fuselage section of certain 787s following the discovery of improper shimming on the support structure.
Japan Airlines, the second customer for the 787, will take delivery of its first aircraft in "the weeks to come", says Albaugh.
The primary Everett, Washington line has broken from rate 2.5 to 3.5 per month at two of five factory positions, with Airplane 61 in the Position One final body join and Airplane 62 in pre-integration at Position 0.
Boeing anticipates moving to five aircraft per month later in the autumn.
Albaugh expects Airplane 66 to be its first 787 that will not require change incorporation work following final assembly, an assessment that has extended beyond previous internal assessments that Airplane 63 would be the company's first "right to pre-flight" 787.
Change incorporation operations will continue into 2014 as Boeing works through the stock of aircraft already through final assembly and awaiting delivery at its Everett widebody base.
The company does not yet count the Charleston line towards its total programme rate, though Albaugh says he expects it to be part of the three fully operational assembly lines running a year from now, including the surge and primary lines in Washington.
The first 787 built in South Carolina, Airplane 46, an example for Air India, will depart the factory in mid-April and "fly away" in June per the company's current planning, says Albaugh.
"Things are going very well in South Carolina and there could be an opportunity to go up in rate there a little quicker than we anticipated, but I don't want to get ahead of myself and make commitments that we can't meet," says Albaugh.
"I think there are enough skeptics out there about our ability to go to 10 [per month]. And barring any unforeseen events, I think we can do it," he adds.
Boeing's Charleston aft and mid-body fabrication and integration facilities remain at the top of Albaugh's list of supply chain "pinch points" to watch as the 787 accelerates rate, citing a growing comfort with non-Boeing suppliers compared to the airframer's operations.
"By and large the supply chain is in pretty good shape," he says.

Canon updated their popular Pixma line earlier this fall with three new additions: the Pixma MP990, the Pixma iX7000 and the Pixma MP640.
The Canon Pixma MP640 falls smack in the middle of Canon's latest lineup of sleek, functional consumer printers both in features and price. As a step up from the previous generation Pixma MP620, the Pixma MP640 still finds itself in the budget friendly group offering three devices, a print resolution up to 9600 x 2400 dpi, automatic duplexing and two-way paper feeder for just over $200.
We gave the Pixma MP990 an Editor's Choice award and the Pixma iX7000 solid approval; can the Pixma MP640 live up to the Pixma brand?
The Canon PIXMA MP640's design is very similar to the previously reviewed Pixma MP560 and Pixma MP990; a silver body with a high gloss black wrap around the top of the machine and a matte black wrap around the bottom. The Canon logo is affixed to the front of the fold-up output tray and the Pixma brand logo is located on top of the scanner lid.
The dimensions for the Pixma MP640 vary depending on how you are using the device. When not in use, the printer folds up into a decently compact unit measuring approximately 18 x 15 x 7 inches.
When in use with the rear tray open, the output tray extended, and the control panel flipped up, the Pixma MP640's dimensions are approximately 18 x 25 x 12 inches. Factor in the scanner lid when opened and the space needed for the printer is about 18 x 25 x 18 inches.
The hidden control panel is found on top of the scanner lid; flip open the panel to find the 3-inch LCD, Canon's Easy Scroll Wheel, and eleven quick keys.
Underneath the control panel, users will find the 48-bit flatbed scanner. The scanner bed can fit documents up to 8.5 x 11.7 inches. It offers an optical maximum resolution up to 4800 x 9600 dpi and interpolated maximum resolution up to 19,200 x 19,200 dpi. Canon also includes easy scan-to features, gutter shadow correction and auto scan mode.
The output tray flips open automatically when printing but can be manually opened when users need access to the inside of the MP640. The five individual ink cartridges and print head are located on the inside of the Pixma MP640. Cartridges are easily installed thanks to color coded slots.
The built-in memory card reader can be found to the right of the output tray behind a small door. The Pixma MP640 can read SD, SDHC, MMC, MMC Plus, CompactFlash, Microdrive, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo, and Memory Stick PRO Duo. Below the card reader is the PictBridge/USB port.
Like most of the Canon PIXMA line, the Pixma MP640 features two way paper feeding. The 150-sheet paper cassette is located below the fold out output tray. The 150-sheet automatic sheet feeder (the rear paper tray) is located on the back of the MP640.
The connectivity ports are also located on the back of the Pixma MP640; to the left you'll find Ethernet and USB, to the right the power port.

Wednesday I took a walk around my gardens. I noticed that my daffs were coming up. They're not very high, maybe a couple of inches, but they're popping up. I've watched the weather channel and saw they we are going to have highs in the low 30's this coming week. In fact, we've had a light snow this night. I know this won't hurt them, it'll just slow them down. But I've never had them coming up this early. None of my other plants are coming up yet. Usually my irises are the 1st to pop up. They have come up in Feb. during mild winters. Does anyone else have plants popping up now?

Yep, mine are too. Of course, today, they're covered in snow. Spring can't get here soon enough! |

Spring? Geez, I'm in Madison too, and I don't think we've had a decent winter in years...this winter had a promising start, but we've warmed up considerably in January. I long for some decent x-country skiing again... |
Well Junebug, I hope you get snow, but I hope it doesn't come any further east! LOL! I have really enjoyed this winter. Right now though it's 18 out. Hopefully this 'cool' weather will pass soon! :) Kat |

Hi, yes my daffodils are about 4" high and my irises are 2" high now. My hyacinths are going gangbusters too. They are all on the southfacing brick of my house, near our side door, so they come up earlier than my other bulbs every year. An early gift of spring every year, I love it. |

I have crocus in bloom right now! ......waiting for Spring. Sandy |
Well, mine haven't grown that much since I first posted this. I do have a few irises coming up, but the tips of their leaves are brown from the cold we've had. Now we're expecting 4" of snow on Thursday with a low of 15. The earliest blooming plant I have is the perennial corydalis. Usually by mid April I have little white flowers on them. They are the 1st to bloom and the last to quit. Another month and they should be looking good. :) Kat |

He just might be. Pease, the wide receivers coach for Boise State, has been rumored to be a strong candidate for the head coaching job at Montana, as well as for the offensive coordinator job at Arizona State.
Now there are rumblings that he may be THE guy for the Griz.
Though we know that Utah offensive coordinator Dave Schramm and Carroll College head coach Mike Van Diest have done phone interviews already, we suspect Montana athletic director Jim O'Day will have a face-to-face meeting with Pease (along with other candidates, perhaps) at the Fiesta Bowl this weekend, where Boise State is facing TCU.
O'Day is heading off Glendale, Ariz., tonight.
What would Pease bring to the Griz? For one, a record of success. Pease has done well wherever he's gone, be it at Boise State or as the offensive coordinator at Baylor or at Kentucky.
He's also got tons of experience at the FCS level, in particular the Big Sky Conference. Pease served as assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Northern Arizona from 1999-2000.
Most notably, though, Pease is a Griz. He was also the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Montana from 1996-1998, and was an offensive assistant coach for the Grizzlies from 1991-1995. He played quarterback at UM from 1985 to 1986.
There's just one thing missing: He has never been a head coach at the college level.
By all accounts he is a fiery guy. Some have described him as being a jerk, but a lot of people said that about Hauck, too.
By no means is Pease leading the pack officially, but keep an eye on what happens next. We're supposed to know UM's finalists by the end of this week.

The celebrated East River Bridges (Two Bridges) - the Brooklyn and the Manhattan, connect downtown Brooklyn with downtown Manhattan. Between these bridges a community of writers and artists has found a home in the former warehouses and factories of New York's most literary outer borough. Like the artists who make it, the art that lives in these narrow streets goes on its nerve, and we, nerved with newness - and just a bit nervy - want to fill our pages with a distinctive, eclectic assortment of work by both unknown & established writers and artists.

At the conclusion of the 1855 edition of the poem that he later titled "Song of Myself," Walt Whitman advised his readers to "look for me under your bootsoles," suggesting that the dilated, celebratory poetic presence they encountered on the printed page would continue to flower in the landscape around them. This experiment in multi-campus digital pedagogy, "Looking for Whitman: The Poetry of Place in the Life and Work of Walt Whitman," helps students and faculty members from four educational institutions trace the lingering imprints of Whitman's footsteps in the local soil. Utilizing open-source tools to connect classrooms in multiple institutions, the project has created a collaborative online space in which students will be able to research Whitman's connections to their individual locations and share that research with one another in a dynamic, social, web-based learning environment. The project has two foci: engaging participating faculty and students in an active learning experience that connects Whitman's writing to local resources, and creating an open repository of primary source materials from particular locations that Whitman inhabited.

I have 1c Caucasian hair that is normal thickness and texture. I was using tresemme's heat spray and still fried my hair - just because it makes your hair look and feel nice after heat styling does NOT mean it's working! Cut off my damaged hair and bought this as part of my hair care change. It's loaded with cones so I believe it does a better job of protecting the hair than water based products like tresemme, but time will tell. It is heavy and thick but I just use less. I part my hair into pigtails and use a dime size amount on each half working from the bottom up and when I finish, I run my hands quickly over my bangs and scalp area to distribute the leftover serum without making my scalp oily. It does make my hair a little heavy but after styling, it's not noticeable to the eye or touch. People without dry hair will want to skip this product or use a clarifying shampoo if they plan to use it every day. I only use it 1-2x a week at the most and have not had a problem - my hair retains its shine and the frizz is noticeably lessened.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
HG!!! I never realized how much this stuff helps my hair stay healthy. I forgot it at my sister's home and I went about 3 days without using it and within those 3 days I noticed the damage my flat iron caused without using my heat protector. I will never go without it again. It must also help that it has aloe. I love this!!
I really like this product! I've used the treseme heat protectant and I like it but I prefer this one better! I apply it all over my hair after I shower and straighten it the next day. It leaves my hair very soft and manageable after I straighten it. Will be repurchasing (:
I've been using this for years and I love it. Its a 6 oz bottle that has lasted me over 2 years. A little goes a long way. I use it after straightening to give me a shiny gloss. Sometimes Ill use before heat styling, but I feel its too heavy and could possibly make your hair look slick. I'm guessing because its silicone based. I would recommend for normal to dry hair types but not for oily hair types. The price is reasonable and this has no scent. Its a product that should be a backup to others such as Tresemme heat styling spray which is my go-to.
I really like this product! I have coarse, heavy porous and wavy hair. I put this on my towel-dried hair and use my flat iron. It is somewhat heavy, but my hair needs heavy to keep the pouf factor at bay. This seems to work better on wet hair.

Great heat protector that not only protects my hair, but seems to help with straightening it while I am flat ironing it.

Can anybody give me ideas on how to mark-off, or create some type of short "fence", for two small areas of my yard?
I have a small dirt yard and the bulk of it contains potted plants. Against the perimeter of the yard (which is completely surrounded by fence), I have two areas where I planted a few things in the soil. The areas are each about 3' wide. In front of these areas, I want to put some type of short "fencing"….mainly just to serve as clear indicators for when I have parties in my yard, that these are areas NOT to be stepped in (as opposed to other areas of the yard that are covered with English Ivy, which I have no problem with people stepping in). I want something that looks "natural"...not too formal…either a wire fencing in GREEN, or else a wood/bamboo type fencing, or maybe even a border of some good sized rocks (which would be difficult for me to do since I don't have a car). I searched online, and while I did see a few examples of green wire fencing, or wooden fencing, the lengths of the fencing were all too long and I'm not handy enough or have all kinds of tools, that I could cut the lengths to size. I also thought that maybe I could "make" a fence, using just some sticks, and perhaps criss-crossing them at an angle, and then tying them with natural twine…but then I wasn't sure how I'd stake them if the sticks are crossed at an angle…. ? Ah! …I just realized..maybe I could use some of those wooden supports like you use for tomatoes or other tall plants….break them into shorter pieces…create some type of a horizontal fencing pattern using two sticks that I tie together, and then use another stick laid VERTICALLY say every 12", which I then tie to the horizontal fencing pattern, and then I have my "stakes".…maybe that could work? So, does anyone have ideas for how I can create "natural" looking fencing or borders for areas that are only 3' wide? Thank you! |

Take a trip through the yard and garden sections of a Lowes or Home Depot - they carry all types of decorative wrought iron, thin wire and/or picket fencing sections in all heights and lengths and in green, black, or white. Or, for what it's worth and thinking outside the box - when I first joined GW and surfed through the forums, I hit on The Garden Junk Forum. Someone had buried colored beer and/or wine bottles (labels removed) neck side down about half way to create a border. Reusing and repurposing a resource at hand - maybe a party or two's worth? Easier than lashing sticks together. |
It does sound like a good DIY project, if you have some bottles, or branches that aren't too brittle. Here's a thread on the topic of wattling. It's fun, though my little fences always look like they were built by a bird who might have emptied a bottle or two first. |
Here is a link that might be useful: wattle
On another thread, Laag is talking about choosing form ahead of function, and that seems to me to be what you are doing. Your function is to have something that is an effective barrier and screams DO NOT STEP HERE, yet the forms you are expressing interest in is something minimal, unobtrusive, blending in. Above, all, something easy. If I were trying to get people to stop stepping in my plants, I would choose an unequivocal barrier, one that can't be missed by someone who is far more interested in their conversation and wine than in where they are standing. Perhaps you do need it to be removable for working in the spaces. If you want to make it a lot of work you could install actual 4x4 fence posts at each end of the space and lay rails - even just light dowels - across on the inside nearest the plants, on hooks - even just cup hooks - or something so they could be removed for non-party times. Maybe with nice finials on top of the posts, so they are decorative even when the rails are off. If you want to make it quick and easy, get those short lengths of plastic(?) WHITE "picket" fencing that you stick in the ground. One thing I see in the ideas you're playing with is a potential for eye-pokers, that is, thin sticks that are maybe three feet high and stand-alone, something that, if someone drops their purse and bends down to pick it up, will be totally invisible to them and will poke them in the eye. Just a thought. KarinL |

Pro Bono Students Canada Receives Reach Canada Volunteer Award
Pro Bono Students Canada (PBSC) was presented with Reach Canadas annual Ramon John Hnatyshyn Volunteer Award on June 8, 2007.The Volunteer Award is in memory of former Governor General and Honorary Chairperson of Reach Canada, Ramon John Hnatyshyn.
(L to R): Renee Smith (National Coordinator, Pro Bono Students Canada) shakes hands with Joshua Clarke. Michael Sousa (far right), President, Reach Canada presented the award.
Joshua Clarke, a third-year Common Law student, accepted the award on behalf of Pro Bono Students Canada and the Faculty of Law. He stated, Reach Canada helps people with disabilities navigate their way through Canadas legal system by providing educational programs on recurring challenges and also through lawyer referral. I have primarily partaken in the referral service and find it to be a truly valuable experience. It would be difficult to perform this job without some legal training. That is why Pro Bono Students Canada and the University of Ottawas Faculty of Law are so invaluable to Reach Canada.
2006-07 marked PBSCs 10th anniversary, and the program is now present in every law school across Canada. uOttawas PBSC program is one of the largest in the country, and they are continuing to grow in size and scope. This past year, the Common Law Section had 150 student volunteers placed with 60 organizations in Ottawa, Gatineau, and surrounding communities as well as several long distance placements.
(L to R): Renee Smith, Melissa Charles (Coordinator Pro Bono Students, Civil Law), Professor Martha Jackman, Joshua Clarke, Nicolas Brunette-D'Souza, Stacy Keehn (Co-Manager Student Services), and Professor Jackie Huston
Courtney Fitzpatrick, Coordinator of uOttawas PBSC, noted, We are honoured to be awarded the Ramon Hnatyshyn Volunteer Award by Reach Canada, one of our longstanding partner organizations. Normally, this award is given to lawyers who personify excellence in volunteering their expertise and time to clients with disabilities. This year, Reach has decided to recognize the students of PBSC, both past and present, along with the program coordinators. We are very proud to receive this important award.
