This Marie Claire Australia August 2012 editorial features Vivian Witjes and Victoria Anderson is an entirely white photoshoot. Wearing head-to-toe white ensembles in cream-colored fields with snow-colored props, the models rock a bleached look that is incredibly evident, standing out to the viewer.
With strange and interesting headpieces, outfits and makeup (including white-chalked eyebrows) the ethereal shoot has an eccentric quality that draws viewers in. As an interesting way to highlight end-of-the-summer fashions, the entirely white editorial has some of the best styles of the season. Though the shoot doesn't show how the average person would wear these looks, these outfits are styled in an interesting manner and sported with a brave, carefree spirit.

"It's been rewarding to work with the Madison County community and I've enjoyed the dynamic of all of the individual and business members, county and city leadership. Madison County has some amazing wonderful people who are like family to me, I will miss them greatly," said Cindy Vees
At the helm of Greater Madison County Chamber of Commerce and Tourism business community for three years, Cindy Vees is stepping down from her role as the executive director, it was announced July 9. "November of this year will be six years since I began volunteering at the Chamber and what a wonderful time of learning and growth it has been," said Vees. She became the Executive Director three years ago and she believes the Chamber is in "good position for continued expansion." Vees said her last day on the job will be July 22. "It's been rewarding to work with the Madison County community and I've enjoyed the dynamic of all of the individual and business members, county and city leadership. Madison County has some amazing wonderful people who are like family to me, I will miss them greatly," she said. The reason for Vees' departure is her new venture called Cindy Vees and Associates, LLC, a public relations and marketing business based in Madison. "I have secured a very nice consulting position with a non-profit to provide public relations, community outreach, and marketing services nationwide, which is my passion," she wrote. Under Vees direction since January 2011, the non-profit Madison County Chamber in downtown Madison has grown from 160 to over 220 members. This past week, four Chamber photographs of Madison Blue Spring State Park in Lee went viral on the Florida State Parks Facebook with a total reach of over three million people, according to a July 14 email from Martha J. Robinson, Communications Manager at the Bureau of Operational Services for the Department of Environmental Protection in Tallahassee. Vees was the driver behind the creation of the Chamber's first Facebook account in 2009. In the last five years, Vees has organized and continued to maintain five Facebook accounts that promote local businesses, events and attractions inviting visitors to Madison County. This month, a Chamber Facebook post about Madison Peach Farm was viewed by over 5,500 people. Owner Sharlene Blomquist said the Farm was picked out of peaches, and they closed early for summer. Vees plans to remain supportive of the Madison County Chamber of Commerce & Tourism with a membership for her new business and she said she'll provide assistance needed by the Chamber Board and staff for a smooth transition to a new leader. CareerSource North Florida at 705 East Base Street in Madison will be responsible for receiving applications and resumes in a search to replace Vees as executive director. "Being the director of a Chamber is a challenging job," Vees said, "It's a great opportunity for the right person, especially in our wonderful community that we have in Madison County."

PROVIDENCE — A downtown building with a colorful history is taking on a new personality as part of a renovation project intended to turn it into a solid member of the city's merchant class.
The five-story brick building at 122 Fountain St. started out in 1912 as a refuge built by the Episcopal Church for the downtrodden, spiraled downward as home to strip clubs and prostitutes, and got cleaned up for a short stint as a music venue.
It will reopen shortly as a boutique hotel akin to the nearby Hotel Providence.
The Sportsman's Inn, an adult entertainment venue located in the building, closed in May 2012, and the real estate was sold to a private real-estate firm.
"The history of the building didn't really bother me," said Ari Heckman, a principal of the purchaser, 122 Fountain St. LLC. "I like challenging projects."
Heckman, a native East Sider, was marketing director at Cornish Associates, the development company of Downcity investor Arnold B. "Buff" Chace, until Heckman relocated to Brooklyn to operate his own firm.
Heckman returns to Providence regularly to help manage work on the new hotel, along with Lucie Searle. Searle is a real estate developer who has worked extensively on AS220's downtown Providence buildings and is president of the Providence Preservation Society.
Searle acts as "owners' representative" on the project.
Among the four owners of 122 Fountain St. is Steel Yard cofounder Clay Rockefeller. Financing includes a loan from the Providence Revolving Fund.
The owners are transforming the century-old building once known as the Church House, an architectural placeholder prized by historical preservationists such as Searle, into The Dean, a 52-room hotel catering to young professionals and other visitors to the city.
"The whole idea is to be hip and cool," Searle said. "When was the last time you were in a hotel and saw bunk beds?"
Plans include a first-floor restaurant, a karaoke bar, a coffee bar and lobby bar.
"Why are the hotels here so corporate and formulaic when that's not how you would describe Providence?" Heckman said. "It should feel as unlike a corporate hotel as possible."
The nature of the building's layout means the rooms on a floor are different from one another. The four rooms on the hotel's fifth floor can be combined to create one suite for a group rental — a wedding party, for instance.
"Any old building that you're restoring ... it's a challenge," Searle said. "How do we take that hotel and make it work today?"
Rhode Island artist Nate Nadeau, once affiliated with the Steel Yard, is making the bed frames and desks, while the Steel Yard itself is making the outdoor railings. Will Reeves, of Rhode Island School of Design, is making room side tables. Conant Lighting in Vermont made the bed sconces.
Art will be a combination of vintage pieces and photographs by Rhode Islanders. Recycle-a-Bike of Providence will provide refurbished vintage bikes for guests who want to bike around the city.
The project architects are Christine West and Phil Derby of Kite Architects Inc. in Providence.
Cranston's Pezzucco Construction Inc. is the general contractor on the $6.5-million project. Work on the hotel is expected to finish in October, with a full opening by late November.
Searle sees The Dean, with rooms renting from $85 to $135 per night, as appealing to budget-minded conventioneers and others coming to Providence for short stays.

He's exaggerating, of course -- but when "you make all of your money during four days of the year," as he points out, it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch. While the LoDo Music Festival goes on rain or shine, rain certainly puts a damper on the crowds -- and with them goes the cash.
The LoDo Music Festival debuted in 1993, shortly after Kraizer moved to Denver from New York. Having already done time on the East Coast putting together various multi-arts festivals (bringing foreign theater groups to the States, for example) and a handful of music festivals (Richmond's June Jubilee), he wanted to raise his son away from the noisy, dog-eat-dog confines of the Big Apple. But Kraizer was still producing out-of-state events from his office on Wynkoop Street when he had an epiphany.
"It was clear to me what was happening in LoDo, even then," Kraizer recalls. "I thought to myself, 'I'd like to put together a festival here.'" Having grown up in St. Louis, he was a huge fan of blues and R&B, and that love -- along with the old real-estate adage "location, location, location" -- got the wheels turning.
Around the same time, Kraizer received a phone call from a friend he'd worked with in the past, Norm Langill of One Reel, a non-profit arts organization in the Northwest. Langill had been running a few events in Seattle -- the Bumbershoot festival and a series called Summer Nights at the Pier -- and the concerts were so successful that the corporate sponsor, Cellular One (now AT&T Wireless), wanted to branch out into other markets. Kismet calls, baby, and when it does, you'd better answer the phone!
Kraizer did, and another urban spectacular was born. With the help of One Reel and Langill, who's handled all of the booking since the event's inception, he introduced the first LoDo Music Festival in front of Union Station ten years ago. Artists like Sonia Dada, Little Feat, Johnny Clegg & Savuka, Tab Benoit and Leon Russell shared the inaugural bill, which attracted 4,000 fans -- a fraction of the number who flock to the festival today.
By 1995, the festival had outgrown its original space and relocated a few blocks farther up Wynkoop, in the shadow of the brand-new Coors Field. That year, the music expanded to three stages and the lineup nearly tripled; for the first time ever, local bands were included. Several years and fifty acts later, the LoDo Music Festival even outgrew LoDo.
"In '98, we literally sold the festival out, which doesn't happen that much," Kraizer says. "It's a late-buying audience in Denver to begin with, and with festivals, people think you'll never sell out. We got to the point where the police said to us, 'It's getting really thick out there in terms of the crowd, and we think we should close the gates.' At that time, it was great to have a gate, because if we were just a block party, we would have really been in trouble; we probably turned away 3,000 or 4,000 people."
But just when a move became necessary, fate again intervened. The Ballpark Neighborhood Association contacted Kraizer about creating another festival for the area just northeast of LoDo. Rather than organize another event, though, he opted to move the existing festival, and the 2000-2200 blocks of Blake, Market and Larimer streets have been party central ever since.
The logistics have become so complex that Kraizer and crew start planning for next year's festival even before the current one is over. "Everybody on my staff from the production end will certainly tell you that we can do ten Red Rocks shows easier than doing one festival," he says. "We have a number of guys on our staff who have worked on a lot of the Pepsi Center's shows, and they said, 'Eagles, Stones -- simple.'"
Planning the LoDo Music Festival is like building an event on a moving ice flow, Kraizer says. "We take a space in a parking lot and surrounding streets and transform it. It's like, 'Can I use the water out of this building?' 'Can I get power everywhere?' And I have to leave access for these folks to make their deliveries."
It's a mammoth undertaking, but it creates mammoth memories. In 1994, the Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown, headlined. "It was amazing, because the man had this regal thing about him," Kraizer recalls. "He has this persona, this style. He's bigger than who he is."
But not all of the big moments involved big stars. "We have this one guy who's been a volunteer for years," Kraizer continues, "and it seems to me like he's had a hard life: He's big and heavy and missing a bunch of teeth, living pretty close to the bone and not far from the streets. And one night, Wilson Pickett was calling people out of the audience, and he calls this guy up -- who doesn't look like he's ready for prime time by a long shot -- and he has this amazing falsetto voice. He completely blew Wilson Pickett away, and everybody saw it. It was nearly religious, this one moment in time this guy was completely transformed. It was too stunning for words."

Media trends are fascinating. In the 21st century where there are constant innovations in how to bring a message forth to your audience, the way the best of the best opt to tell a story is very interesting when you're cognizant of what's going on.
Sports media is inherently compelling. Covering an intrinsically emotional topic does half the job for you whereas, for example, captivating North Americans with the story of how Blackberries are still super popular in Indonesia requires a little bit more tact. You have to create that tie and set it alight.
The problem of a lockout affecting the major player in a sport is obvious. You lose that natural bond between an outlet and its readership by scorching the middle ground. And coupling that with an audience that is confused by what it wants under the circumstances only serves to exacerbate the difficulties.
None of this is to complain about the issue of course. I, for one, am enjoying the conundrum posed by the lockout as an individual who enjoys hockey writing. A lot of very talented people are being forced to flex a bit harder than they normally would, and that talent is shining through more clearly than ever. It's tough to get a grasp on how skilled one is with the written word when their trademark piece is a game recap.
When there's no game to recap that little push to reach beyond your comfort zone makes ability and creativity much more readily apparent. Anyone who reads can have great respect for that. That moment in the midst of a piece or a mini-documentary with someone who knows what they're doing brings great self-awareness. You are wholly aware that class is in session.
The kicker here is, of course, that the ability of one to effectively do their job is squarely tied into their ability to tell a story. With words, sounds or images the writer/journalist/blogger/producer/etc's job is to take the audience from point A to point B while holding their attention, ideally presenting their material in some sort of logical progression and leaving them something to think about when they hit the end.
In a digital age — with you, who is reading this right now being an active participant in what I'm about to write — this is a wholly difficult task. Stop for a second and scan the page. Buttons everywhere! You could click anything and be on the other end of the internet in five seconds and totally forget how you got there. Ideally I haven't lost any of you by breaking the fourth wall.
How is this relevant to the NHL or the lockout or the coverage of both? Well, indulge me for a moment.
We've all hit a point with these proceedings where we're left with complete and utter fatigue. Donald Fehr comes out and spews his rhetoric for a bit, and then the Bettman/Daly Tag-Team Champions of the world tandem come out and lay their points on equally thick. There is no logical progression.
We aren't moving forward or backward or upward or sideways. We're just twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom which time dictates we will achieve at some point.
The ability to tell a story becomes next to impossible. Have you ever read a novel that re-hashed the same events 23 times in 23 chapters and felt satisfied when you closed the book one last time? Of course not. Reading that would be slogging your brain into mush. You'd come to the end, have a really stiff drink and ideally pass out, trying to forget what you just did to yourself.
"It's December 10, 2012. Hi I'm the NHL Lockout, welcome to Jackass!"
Now, for those of you who read anything I write on a semi-regular basis (
Not only do the story makers prevent remotely comprehensible coverage of this situation, but the audience turns the onus on the media into an abyss of narratives. You can't weave a story based on the goings-on of the NHL because it has been done daily since September. You can't weave a story based on what the audience wants because they don't know what they want.
A comment section on any lockout story typically unravels as follows: 1) Interesting piece, but I think…. 2) LOL who caresssss? BLUE JAYS! 3) This post is bad and you should feel bad and I'm going to try and make you feel bad.
Covering hockey for a living is an unbelievably sweet gig. Though as the fading hair colors of various television personalities indicate, internalizing your ability to do the job can wear on you quickly when the job is, for all intents and purposes, on-hold.
Covering a sport during a lockout is a zero-sum game. Regardless of what you do, there are going to be enough detractors that whatever headway you thought you made on how to approach the situation will evaporate. Basketball media wasn't having any fun a year ago, and now the hockey contingent who thought it was hilarious at the time are finding out that karma stings.
Appreciate the folks who are shining through above everyone else and just know that those others are trying super hard. The muse may be taking the year off, folks. But, just know, we're twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom. We'll get there eventually. Murphy's Law says so.

KOCHI: Have the women Self Help Groups (SHGs), which revolutionized lives of many in rural households of Kerala, become soft targets of fraud money chain firms?
Reports from Kollam, Thiruvananthapuram and Idukki districts say so.
Over a dozen SHGs in these districts had become prey to these firms, which offered huge profit to the women members for selling their products.
Recently, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the state Crime Branch unearthed the modus operandi of the firms after they tracked the activities of a firm called Jcube S Marketing Solution Private Limited.
EOW DySP V Sunil Kumar said many money chain firms have managed to rope in the members of women SHGs after offering them false promises.
"They use the SHGs as it is the best way to reach the people, especially women. We have launched a detailed probe to track those firms which have managed to operate among the SHGs," he said.
The EOW has launched a joint operation with the income tax and sales tax departments to identify the companies which are into money chain business. "We are trying to collect more details about the activities of the money chain companies by questioning certain suspects," the officials said and added that an awareness programme will be launched among the SHGs to sensitize them against the fraud money chain firms.
The crime branch had already arrested Johnson George, 44, of Kunnappalli Veedu, Vallarpadam who is the managing director of Jcube S Marketing Solution Private Limited.
Police team which conducted raids at the premises of the company and residence of the managing director had seized various documents.

I just purchased an espaliered improved Meyer lemon, having planned to put it on the south wall of a structure. For various reasons, it turns out that that is not a good spot. Another potential site is the east wall. Will it received enough sun in that location? There is no overhang. I'm in Sonoma County.
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Meyers will grow quite well and produce plenty of fruit with as little as 2-3 hours of direct sunlight; so the east wall will be just fine, as long as you don't have a tall fence or other building too close for the sun to catch it in the morning. Be glad you didn't choose the south wall; an espaliered Meyer would likely get overheated in that position. |

Thanks very much! Nothing close to it, so it will get sun until noon or so. I appreciate your help. |

I planted a small Meyers Lemon tree in June( outside, in North FL, it, had 3 green lemons, it's October and I still have 3 "bigger" green lemons! I keep waiting for them to turn Yellow! How long does that usually take? 4 months just seems long Thanks for your help, ~ my mouth is watering just waiting :)~ |
You can expect your lemons to reach maturity, meaning 8.5 Brix, around the beginning of November; if you leave them on the tree longer, they will develop more yellow color. Normal time from bloom to harvest for Meyers is 7-9 months. |

Hot Lips is a variety of Salvia microphylla. Lipstick is a form of the related S. greggii. |

I planted this lovely salvia, hot lips, last summer; WOW, it was incredible, grew like a weed! The branches got very heavy with blooms. Over winter, a couple branches got broken at the soil, probably by a couple romping raccoons and then the remaining branches were defoliated during severe freezes, 20 degrees for days so I cut the plant back mid to late winter. So far, no new growth. Any hope? Or, shall I dig out the root ball? I thought it was supposed to grow in USDA Zone 8. I'm in Zone 7-8; Sunset 4-5 - Port Townsend, WA |

My stock of Hot Lips plant has defoliated, and is just now reviving in my greenhouse. Also, S. microphylla San Carlos Festival lost its leaves outside in a hard freeze, but the one at the more protected J C Raulston Arboretum (Raleigh, NC) is coming back. Give your plant a few more weeks, don't cut back, and please don't dig it up. If you want to, break off the tips of one or two tips th see if they are brittle or supple. If supple, scrape off the bark to see if there is a green layer underneath, and to see if the pith is light yellow, not tan. We are having such nasty weather, most of my nursery friends are saying their plants are 2 to 3 weeks late. The greggii Lipstick and microphyllas at the J C Raulston Arboretum looked good last Saturday. |

I live near Portland, OR. No sign of hot lips growth, yet. My greggii have a couple leaves, though. Hopefully my hot lips will start something soon. |

This has been the most annoying winter with warm days followed by bitter cold. My hot lips salvia looks terrible. I have never cut it back and I have had it for several years. it is about 3 feet square. It is showing no signs of life. I would love to hear from others about any life theirs is showing after this bad weather. |

How are your salvias doing? I am in Portland, zone 8 and my Hot Lips shows no sign of growth yet. Everything else has leafed out, including the lavender right next to it. This is its second year. |
- Posted by kevinsmom1 7b (My Page) on Sun, Mar 23, 14 at 13:26
nothing doing on my hot lips salvia. I am going to be patient though. every nice day here seems o be followed by frost. I am not giving up til we have consistent nice days. |
My hot lips is 2 years old, and it is always the last thing to wake up in my garden. It loses all of it's leaves ever winter (including this one). Just this weekend I am noticing new growth from the bottom. Just barely. I usually trim it by a third just before spring. Don't cut it to the ground! |
- Posted by may_flowers 8 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 25, 14 at 10:38
I do see green on the stems. Do you cut into the green when you cut it back? Mine needs a good reshaping. |
Yes, I cut in to the green. I also give it haircuts throughout the summer to keep it bushy. |

Thank you! I'll get out my pruners as soon as I see some sun! |

I've got a few leaves on my hot lips as of today !!! |
I, too, am waiting for signs of life! One HL is definitely coming back. Another looks dead, but it's not brittle down at the base, so I'm giving it time. But it's taking up a nice container, I wish it would give me a sign! My black and blue is always late to sprout. It looks pitiful, but I'm trying to have faith that it may come back soon. I bought a replacement "May Knight" yesterday for my final winter casualty. But it wasn't looking that great last summer anyway. |

My potted Hot Lips, which have been in their pots for about six years, have not yet come back. I do have smaller ones that are coming back, also in pots, but kept in the greenhouse. I will definitely be putting in some small raised beds this year, after the spring festival is over. I'm really tired if losing tricky stock plants in pots, and need a better source of cuttings, pollen, and seeds |
- Posted by Pixieannie none (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 18:48
I am in the UK and have several of these and have done for many years as they make a wonderful addition to the borders. Mine have survived -15. I tend to cut them back quite hard as Spring looms and they've never suffered. |
- Posted by Pixieannie none (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 14:46
These salvias are kept in a sheltered corner of the garden and receive sun for part of the day. They are doing well considering one of my ducks has her nest underneath and spent quite some time ripping pieces from the bottom to line her nest. |
From my perspective Hot Lips has always been a somewhat tender microphylla, one of the tenderest I grow. Currently none of the plants are showing life but there is still hope because except after the warmest winters it is one of the last microphylla to leaf out. I'm in zone 7a New Jersey and the plants grow in dry fine grained sandy soil. |

Hot Lips here is several inches tall. Our lowest temperature was 5 degrees. |

SuSe 9.2 Dual Booting (Booting Problems)
I have 2 physical hard drives. 1 is partitioned into a C: drive, for my Windows XP Professional OS, and then also a D: drive from music, movies, and other data.
My other physical hard drive, E:, is 80 gigs, and I want to install SuSe Linux 9.2 Professional onto it. I downloaded the 5 CD set and burned them onto CD's. My problem is, when I put CD1 into my CD-Rom drive, and attempt to boot from it, it won't boot from the CD, and goes to Windows XP. I set my BIOS to boot from CD only, and it tells me "no OS found."
I tried looking around for ways to boot from a floppy or something, but found no answer that I could understand.
I also tried to boot from CD on my brother's computer, and again, it didn't work, so I'm really not sure where the problem lies.

Did you perform an md5sum to ensure that the download completely succesfully?
- 03-30-2005 #3
Did you burn the cd's correctly? When you look at the cd's from Windows, do you see a bunch of files, or just one? If it is just one, you did not burn them correctly.
Look here for burning instructions,

Should there be a hide option for RealID? {WoW}
Feb 8th 2012 2:50AM I got this same impression about half way through the first page of comments. If these people can't respect the wishes/reasons of those wishing for the option then they are likely of the people I would like to occasionally hide from.
I love playing with my guild but there are times when I just want to do something different from them. I desperately want to add some of my wow friends to my real Id that are also into playing other blizzard games but the always on option keeps me from doing so.
4 steps for dealing with Raid Finder harassment {WoW}
Jan 30th 2012 5:54PM When people start making a fuss about the group over all or how this is so easy and we must be bad for not being able to do it the first time and then randomly throw out blanket statements about this group being made of all bad players, I remind them that this is the "place for the bad players" and that these players are were they are supposed to be. It usually shuts up the people who are just talking to see their chat in raid, as well as the people who complain about someone else winning their roll.
I have one more tip:
Know your upgrades but remember they are upgrades for others as well too. Your dps may be exceptional but that other char may be upgrading a blue in that slot and as long as the character is doing more than standing at the entrance waiting for the boss to have a heart attack then they are EXACTLY AS DESERVING AS YOU to receive that item.
Breakfast Topic: What do you think about the new holiday boss style? {WoW}
Dec 27th 2011 3:13PM @draev: druids are not slightly modified versions of other classes, they are HEAVILY modified versions of other classes. Bear/warrior with 1/4th the toolkit, cat/rogue with 1/4th the toolkit, moonkin/mage at first, now... let's give you an "interestingmechanic", and healers were basically flat utility then raid only heals and now feel meh. Yes we top meters and I guess keeping lifeblood up is like the new holy power for paladins and the chairs for priests. I personally wish they would stop adding "awesome mechanics" to classes that are not considered hero classes. And the fact that they tried hero classes and couldn't balance them well enough to not be op at just about any level shows how much they shouldn't do that again.
Breakfast Topic: What do you think about the new holiday boss style? {WoW}
Dec 27th 2011 3:00PM The easiest way to make it so you don't sit int he capital city and question for everything would be to take it all back to world instance locations. I for one, don't want to go back to a time where I am the only one who knows where a location is because the rest of the group doesn't know how to google/explore.
as for this holiday boss, I think they should have a portal up for the holidayand just make it so you have to be at the portal to queue ( kind of like how they did g's before the finder)
Just make it somewhere like bril or elwynn or some place accessible easily for each faction.
Also: if I was alliance, I would skip the boss in this state, heck, I am horde and I have yet to do this boss. Too much hassle.
Somewhere between instant access and long mindnumbing flight would be nice.
The Queue: Morshed Khan the sitar player {WoW}
Dec 25th 2011 9:31AM As to the not getting loot in the dragon soul raid (something just about anyone could freaking see from a distance) I wish they would implement something like the call to arms mysterious satchel for those persons who did not get anything off a boss (and possibly also those people who do a boss a second+ time where they would be ineligible for loot by virtue of being at a boss downing before)
Get a satchel in the mail with some almost surely not the flask bonus you need and a chance, however small) of a pet or mount.
It would help get people to queue multiple times per boss and may keep the turn over rate between bosses a bit lower.
Dos question for the random dungeons are almost always for a tank or healer, adding in the option for the satchel that even a dos could (and likely would) get would be nice.
Also, call to arms for the raid finder may be necessary for any older raids, the newer raid will always be in high demand and so far has not been even as long as a dps queue for the random dungeons.
WoW Rookie: How to gear up for Raid Finder {WoW}
Dec 9th 2011 12:44PM Seriously, if you need to progress your ilevel do as follows:
Pop yourself in a regular (REGULAR) level 85 dungeon
Equip tabard that gives rep for your shoulder or helm enchantment
Quest in twilight highlands until dungeon queue pops
enter dungeon, say hi and buff
complete dungeon (and collect JP tokens)
Repeat from enter regular dungeon queue
Use accumulated JP to grab gear from vendor
Once you have the sufficient gear level to enter heroic level dungeons, do so, but only to cap valor for the week and then return to regular dungeons
Once your gear level raises to the point of the new heroics run those for both gear and valor tokens. At this point, running the regular heroics is pretty worthless unless you need to fill a specific item slot. Return to regular dungeons after hitting the valor cap for the week. At this point, the gear from the new heroics and the JP gear will have made your ilevel skyrocket.
quick point: justice may the the lower tier of gear but the dungeons themselves will be quicker to run without an inexperienced group and in general wont require any coordination at all.
Don't forget to change out your tabard upon exalted rep and grab enchants/reforge any epic gear from justice vendors, valor vendors or the new tier of heroics.
Had an ilevel of 358 at the beginning of december and now have an ilevel of 372the from just the justice vendor, new heroic dungeon items, auction house and a single valor item (agility relic).
Breakfast Topic: What class should a brand new player pick? {WoW}
Jul 16th 2011 1:35PM Before the changes to auto shot I would have recommended a hunter but now I can't even effectivly play one because of the auto shot changes, I feel like a noob every time I pull way before my pet even gets there and I become so frustrated that I have to stop playing the characters.
As it goes though:
ranged warlock
Melee warrior
Heals capable ranged priest or paladin
Tank capable paladin (hands down easiest at lower levels)
I was going to do melee pure and ranged pure and the like but decided that there would be too little competition between some classes.
Shifting Perspectives: How to raid as a balance druid {WoW}
Jul 15th 2011 9:38PM Having a class that can do any of the roles at any time would be either so insanely powerful that there would be no need for any other class ever or so limited spell or utility wise that they would be a net loss to bring to an encounter. Also hate to see how they would play in a 5 man setting if they are so gimped.
You seem many intell/agility/strength gear any more in current content(or anything after vanilla/early bc)? Having a true hybrid who could do everything equally well without respeccing/gear changing means any hybrid gear would need more of all of the stats on their gear to even come on par to a pure class. Stat allocation would be so wacked for hybrids.
Breakfast Topic: Male or female? {WoW}
Jul 4th 2011 7:24PM I play mostly females with a heavy emphasis on tauren horde side and dreanei alliance side. Most of the males i have are because I dislike the female version of that races' casting or melee. Had a male rogue for a while and decided to roll a male troll druid when the option became available and that character did not even make it to level 5 before deletion, hated casting moves.
Breakfast Topic: Do you have a favorite race? {WoW}
Apr 22nd 2011 8:14AM Tauren, tauren and more tauren.
second favorite is probably dreanei and close third is probably worgen.

My name is Gidget!
Facts about Gidget
- Breed: Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Gidget's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi! My name isGidget. I am a sweet girl, full of personality, and I am just looking for my furever home! I am 10 weeks old, weigh about 3 pounds, and I love dogs, cats and kids. I was rescued from a local kill shelter after I was seized from a puppy mill. Fortunately I was saved from the puppy mill at a very young age so I don't have any lasting effects from living in poor conditions. I am spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, current with all vaccines and on flea and heartworm prevention. The vet has checked me out and given me a clean bill of health! I am all ready to be adopted :) My adoption fee is $475, and covers all of my vetting, and includes the transport fee--I am currently being fostered in South Carolina, but I can catch a ride up north to meet my new family. Please email my rescue at firstname.lastname@example.com to get an adoption application! Thanks for checking me out!
Other Pets at Day Before the Rainbow Rescue and Adoption
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gidget, a Newark Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier for sale in Newark, or seeking a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier puppy from a breeder in Newark.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Newark 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 Newark 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 Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier breeders who help with Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Newark paves the way for another one to be saved.

I have been using this product for a while. It does what it promises. Takes off all eye makeup, even waterproof. And best of all it's oil free.
I really LOVE this Makeup Remover. I thought Clinique's OFMR was awesome, but Mary Kay beats it by far!
My Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner comes off like a dream when I use this - no major scrubbing involved.
I found you get the best results by using jumbo cotton balls as this distributes the product evenly and removes makeup easily.
The great thing about this product is the packaging. Most MUR have an open top on the bottle (which can lead to major spills and product loss) Mary Kay has designed their bottle to have a stopper with a small pinhole, so you have to squeeze the product out, instead of wasting product by tipping the bottle over.
I would suggest using Ebay to buy this item, since many Mary Kay Reps can be a nucisance.
I use this does not make my under eyes dry like cream eye remover does a little goes a long way last me about 2 months maybe even longer would buy again
This product makes my life so much easier! I love playing around with colors, mascaras, and glitter & etc... (who doesn't?!?!) and this stuff takes it off so easily. No tugging. It doesn't sting and it's oil free! I have used it for years and haven't found anything better for the price.
Love this stuff. 1 bottle lasts forever and a day. It takes off anything and everything I could possibly fit on my eyes. Make sure you shake it up though, because the oil free silicone formula seperates and must be recombined or it seems greasy.
I have been using this stuff for years and I love it. A couple of times I thought it would be a good idea to buy a drugstore brand (it's cheaper--you know the drill), but I hated that stuff. It took twice as much to get the eye makeup off and even then you have to rub your eyes too much for my liking. With Mary Kay, you just swipe along your eye and it's gone! Awesome!
It was too oily imo(even after shaking it to death!!) it did remove my all make up(wich I waer some hard to get off eyeliner etc..) but omg it made my eyes hurt sooo bad..I'll stick to my Ponds cold cream.
UPDATE 7/26/10.....I must have gotten a bad bottle when I 1st used this. I recently got a free travel sized bottle from a friend.I gave this a try again and Wow!! It wasn't oily and didn't make my eyes hurt at all. I was pretty impressed this time with how gentle it was on my eyes.
I do like this eye makeup remover. It does what it says even on waterproof liners and mascaras. The issue I have with this is that it is absolutely greasy. I know its oil free but my lids feel super slick afterwards and only a cleanser or cleansing oils can get rid of that icky feeling. Now that I am hooked on cleansing oils there is no need for this seperate makeup remover so I won't get it again. I noticed too, that if I pull too much with the cottom ball my eye area gets irritated with this and breaksout.
More reviews by pootiebear1031
This eye makeup remover was terrible. It is supposedly oil free but it left my eyelids so greasy after I used this eye makeup remover to remove my eyshadow. The eye makeup remover also irritated my eyelids. I will just stick to my normal cleanser to remove my eye makeup.

Bach: We'll Flog Gears of War For a "Long, Long Time"

Like Gears of War? Prepare to be swimming in it. Upon announcing that Microsoft had sold through 2.7 million copies of Gears in eight weeks, Robbie Bach had this to say about the future of the brand:
"That title is now a Halo-like franchise. We think it is an evergreen platform that we can continue to leverage for a long, long time."
Who wants to take bets on how many installments it takes before Gears is the next Tomb Raider?
More notable quotables after the jump.
CES president Gary Shapiro, introducing Bill Gates: "This one company has made us as a mankind much better, more efficient, and has raised the standard of living for all the citizens of the world." Also, Vista will cure cancer.
Robbie Bach, mentioning the elephant in the room: "In our segment of the mp3 category, we are the number two player already. We are on track to sell a million copies [sic] of Zune. You are going to see us in a leadership position in the years to come." A million whats of Zune?
Microsoft employee "Lisa," demonstrating how Uno on Vista works online with Uno on Xbox: "Wow."

Don't bother wasting your time, money on this product! I used it twice--two treatments over the last two months, and have wound up putting steroid prescription itch ointment on my dogs NOW EVIDENT flea bites!!! to control the itching and biting, at a cost of $99.00 per tube RX. AGAIN, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT--ITS A WASTE. WORKS AS GOOD AS WATER, WHICH IS NOT AT ALL! NOT TO MENTION, THE EXTREME PAIN AND SUFFERING MY DOG IS NOW GOING THROUGH--JUST IN MY EFFORT TO SAVE A FEW BUCKS! IT'S NOW COSTING ME MORE TO TREAT THE INFESTATION THAN IT WOULD'VE IF i HAD JUST GOTTEN THE "GOOD STUFF!" BOTTOM LINE: DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS ONE.
Favorite product at the best price and super fast service
After Luci's initial treatment, I have seen no fleas or eggs. It seems to be every bit as good as Frontline which is what I had been using in the past, and it's cheaper.

We had an early appointment in North Platte this AM and after that Leone wanted to check in WalMat fabric Dept. to see if they had anything like she wanted. After checking at other stores and not finding what she wanted, well, she didn't find it there either.
When we went in the greeter took my cane and gave me one of those electic carts to ride in, while Leone was in the fabric dept. I just happened to go down the candy aisle and was surprised to find Licorice All-Sorts. Have had a serious addiction to them for years and had to order them from Vermont Country store. Couldn't find them anywhere near here. Bought 4 11 ounce packages of them, ought to hold me for a week or so. Suppose they should be spelled Liquorice All-Sorts since they are made in England. Swore I wouldn't ever go in Wal-Mart again after an unpleasant event there several years ago but may have to go back on that vow if they carry Licorice All-Sorts. |

Oh, Gandle, I feel your...ambivalence? About once a week, I swear that, if I live long enough to see an economy in which I don't have to squeeze *every* penny, I'll never set foot in that store again. but... This past week-end I had sinus problems & couldn't taste anything, so my best neighbor brought me some spiced apple cider mix from You Know Where. had to get a box of that stuff this morning! |
Licorice All-Sorts are a powerful draw, George. But resist...continue to give your business to good ole' Vermont Store. I too am a Licorice All-Sorts lover. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Mon, Nov 1, 10 at 19:48
I'm also a fan of Licorice All-Sorts. There are all sorts of places that sell it here in the valley. I apply the "squeeze" test to see if it is fresh and squishy. I don't buy stale All-Sorts. If Walmart, has fresh All-Sorts, I'll buy it there. If not, I'll buy it somewhere else. |
We love them too but never to Walmart. Luckily we can get them in our grocery store. You sure can't eat just one,can you? |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Mon, Nov 1, 10 at 20:18
The yellow with the black center. |
Yes! |
I think I'm glad I don't like licorice! Probably another example of not knowing what I'm missing! |

Resist! Resist! They are the dark side! |
Dd and her main squeeze, (actually the only squeeze and will probably be THE squeeze) are always popping into the W store at all hours of the day/night. I think in rural areas it is the only entertainment sometimes. |
No it isn't. I'd rather tip cows are wave at passing cars. Or they could take up whittling. |

Obama administration limitations on lobbyist membership for U.S. Department of Agriculture advisory committees have created openings for industry volunteers.
The policy committee and technical advisory committees were established in 1974 as a formal way for the private sector to communicate with the U.S. Trade Representative and the Secretary of Agriculture about agricultural trade issues.
The advisory committees are jointly managed by the USDA and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
On Sept. 8 last year Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and USTR Ron Kirk announced the appointment of 148 private-sector members to the policy committee and the six technical committees, including one committee focused on fruits and vegetables, said Julie Scott, spokeswoman for USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service
Scott said those appointees will serve until June 9 of 2015, but will be added to by additional appointments over the next four years. With room for more than 30 members, Scott said the Fruit and Vegetable Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee could use about 12 more members.
The technical committee aims to meet twice a year in person, along with several conference calls throughout the year, she said. Scott said the fruit and vegetable technical committee last met in December 2011 and heard updates from the USDA and the USTR on the status with specific trading partners and technical barriers to specialty crop exports. The next meeting of the group is scheduled for April 4 this year, Scott said.
Bob Schramm, lobbyist with Schramm, Williams & Associates Inc., Washington, D.C., said he served on the technical committee for fruits and vegetables from 1989 to 2011 and found it worthwhile. Because he is a registered lobbyist, Schramm can no longer serve on the technical committee. Other former members of the technical committee not invited back because of the Obama Administration policy include Robert Guenther, senior vice president of public policy for the United Fresh Produce Association and Nancy Foster, president of the Vienna, Va.-based U.S. Apple Association.
"The technical committee provides a great service to the produce industry," Schramm said. "It is the main avenue of information for our trade negotiators." Schramm said he hopes a change in administration will someday reverse the policy that prohibits lobbyists from serving on the advisory committees.
Guenther said the decision has left the committees with less historical expertise on fruit and vegetable issues.

Installation Notes
Let me begin by saying that I have seen several enclosure designs claiming to be tool-free. You'll note I used the term claiming. There is always some place in the transfer of the system where tools are required. That is until I moved my test system into this SilverStone unit.
At no time during the installation were tools needed to complete a task. All fans were installed into a housing assembly and then inserted into the case design. All AGP/PCI cards were inserted easily and then clamped into place with the slider retention system. Add to this the removable motherboard tray and the side panels that are secured by a lever and you can see why I am thrilled with this tool-free design.
Now, tools will be needed if you exceed two optical devices, two hard drives and a floppy drive, but this falls squarely into the realm of what a majority of users have in their own systems.
Now I hadn't mentioned a couple of areas of the installation because I wanted to show you how it works firsthand. We'll begin by looking at the installation of the motherboard.
When you install the mainboard, all you have to do is to lay the board out above these pins. They have just a little give in them allowing them to compress slightly and then expand as they pass the central portion of the hole of your mainboard. Just push down with moderate pressure and you will feel that section of board secure itself onto the pin.
Oh, and in the event you want to remove the board, there is a removal tool attached to the back of the motherboard tray that slips under the mainboard allowing you to gently pry it upward without damage to the board itself. Nice and simple.
The other area not mentioned above is the drive installation process. As I mentioned earlier, this enclosure uses a rail system. There are no tools required to mount the rails to the device, just the lining up of a couple of pins into holes and a little pressure to seat them in place. Once that is finished, just slide the drive into the appropriate bay and let it snap into place. You'll even see above where the two drives are lined up perfectly with each other making for a smooth, clean look after reinstalling the front bezel. Here is a quick shot of the hard drive rail system:
This is the first time I have EVER been able to transfer a complete system without using tools. This is an exceptional example of how to go about creating a true tool-free enclosure. A full compliment of rails for all available drive bays would have been a nice addition, but overall this is a very good package.

Chevrolet hasn't even acknowledged its existence, but the engineers at Ford's Special Vehicle Team know that a supercharged Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is on its way. That car could be the first direct competitor to the Ford Shelby GT500, as its closest competitors today either come up short in horsepower (Dodge Challenger SRT8, Camaro SS) or fit into an entirely different class of car (Chevrolet Corvette). To combat the Camaro Z28 before it even arrives, Ford has freshened its hottest Mustang, making it a leaner, more powerful, and more agile muscle car.
Fewer Pounds, More Ponies
The biggest change comes as a result of switching from iron to aluminum for the 5.4-liter V-8 engine block. The switch is more dramatic, both on the spec sheet and from behind the wheel, than you might think. Ford claims a massive weight savings of 102 pounds, which suggests that the old iron block might have been carrying some unnecessary mass. The updated engine block features cylinders that are finished with a spray-on coating, rather than a steel sleeve. In addition to saving 8.5 pounds over the traditional steel-sleeve aluminum block, the spray bore reduces friction and increases heat transfer from the combustion chamber to the coolant. Power climbs 10 ponies to 550 hp at 6200 rpm, while torque is unchanged at 510 lb-ft. Fuel economy also increases to 15 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. That's one extra mile per gallon in both ratings, which allows the GT500 to escape the gas-guzzler tax that ensnared last year's car.
New Performance Package
An optional $3495 performance package is new for 2011. It lowers the car eleven millimeters in front and eight millimeters in the rear, and features springs that are 20.5 percent stiffer in front and 9.5 percent stiffer in back. It also includes a shorter, 3.73:1 final drive ratio, a Gurney flap on the spoiler, narrower stripes on the hood, and a white cue-ball shifter. Forged aluminum wheels, measuring 19 inches in front and 20 inches in back shave a total of fifteen pounds off the base car's weight. The gorgeous, graphite-finish wheels are wrapped in Goodyear's new Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 summer tires.
Other new features include an optional glass roof on the coupe ($1995), convex blind-spot mirrors, standard high-intensity discharge headlamps, and fold-down rear headrests that greatly improve visibility. Pricing starts at $49,495 for coupe and $54,495 for convertible.

I'm so enjoying the lilies now that they are just starting to bloom. I wanted to share some pictures. It's pretty hot here, so the blooms don't last long. They have a few hours morning sun, shade the rest of the day. Anyone else want to share pictures? Flashpoint. First year for Sunny Crown in my garden More Sunny Crown Here's First Crown |

thanks for sharing, they are so so so beautiful! Isn't Flashpoint a strong growing thing? For me it is! Within the FIRST YEAR it put out bulblets. Crazy. By the end of the second years I was dividing clumps. |

I just got Flashpoint and planted it in May. It has grown so well with lots of blooms, but they aren't as deep in color as B&D shows in their catalog. More like Stargazer, which is fine. I'm new to these lilies and am not sure how to handle bulblets. I had a few short spindly ones pop up (6" high). I guess those are the bulblets and I can leave them to return next year. (?) It's also the first year for Sunny Crown. What a cheerful, pretty flower, and they are lasting pretty well. Thanks for your reply. Enjoy your lilies. |
Yes, leave the bulbets and they"ll come back bigger and should flower next year. |

Norman "Dutch Giant" Oosterbroek, who was killed by cops in Florida during an alleged break-in, was allegedly fired from his job protecting Jay-Z and Beyonce after they discovered he had hired a prostitute while on duty in Las Vegas.
His life spiraled out of control in the past months after he lost the position. The power couple had also allegedly discovered photographic and video evidence showing the hulking guard using the family's passports in a lewd act.
Sometimes you feel like a nut but shit. I hope Queen Creole fired up her Macbook to record a reaction video (she documents her every fart, burp and yawn, why not?) because this all is just — sigh. There's no telling what else dude was up to when nobody was around to monitor his moves. Probably scooped up his skeet with their social security cards too.
Here's where things get interesting. The story was first uncovered by a major print publication last year which approached the couple for comment. Word is the duo then secured a deal to ensure the story never saw the light of day.
"Beyonce and Jay Z were furious when they found out," a source revealed to The Confidential. "They trusted Norman with their lives and then he went and did some pretty freaky things, and on video with a hooker. They were outraged."
Oosterbroek — who provided muscle to celebrities like Lady Gaga, Rihanna and even Nelson Mandela — forced his way into a neighbor's mansion naked on September 2, punched the resident and swallowed drugs, according to investigators. The 43-year-old died after Miami-Dade police shocked him with a Taser.

It turns out I'm one of those young men with severe pain. I've been seeing a chiropractor for much of the past year for muscle spasms in my back, and I can say without a doubt that I'm not pretending to spend nights writhing in pain or walking around like Quasimodo just to score some reefer. On the other hand, I'm a much less appropriate candidate than someone battling cancer or suffering from muscular dystrophy. But that's not for me to decide. That's why I start calling around to find out about scoring a medical marijuana card.
I begin with the marijuana-focused doctor referral services. These operations have sprung up on the premise that many patients' primary caregivers are reluctant to consider pot as medicine. My first call is to the relatively long-established THC Foundation, a three-year-old Wheat Ridge operation that's part of a multi-state non-profit chain. My medical condition could warrant medical marijuana, says a THC Foundation representative — though she adds that they're not about to provide me one with just my records from the chiropractor. "A chiropractor is not technically an M.D.," she says. "We really need something from your physician."
So I ring up the THC Foundation's main competition: CannaMed in Denver. I'm a bit surprised to find out the place is still operating. A week earlier, FBI agents had raided the operation — not because of the pot, but because they suspected it was associated with an $80 million nationwide fraud scheme. The feds did confiscate CannaMed's patient records, but attorney Charlie Crosse says no one at CannaMed was arrested or charged with crimes. "I am informed by the FBI that CannaMed is not a part of its case," he says. It turns out CannaMed was quickly up and running again.

"Sure, we take chiropractic records," the CannaMed representative tells me on the phone. It'll set me back $200 for the CannaMed doctor's visit, plus a $90 registration fee to the state, he says — or he can offer me a special deal for $50.
"$50?" I ask, incredulous.
The catch is that I have to let CannaMed choose my caregiver, the person who can grow up to six marijuana plants on my behalf, for one year. And during that time, I can't grow medicine myself. "Can I switch my caregiver before then?" I ask.
"If you pay us $290," he replies.
I'd heard about this process. Amendment 20 allows each medical marijuana patient to possess up to two ounces of marijuana or six marijuana plants at a time. Since these patients can alternatively assign these "pot rights" to a designated caregiver, the patients themselves have become a sort of key commodity in the blossoming industry.
Dispensaries and marijuana growers are trying to become the designated caregivers for as many patients as possible so they can increase the number of plants they're allowed to grow. Some dispensaries are offering incentives to those who will sign over their caregivership. CannaMed, I'd been told, was offering this $50 "low-income" option because marijuana cultivators are sponsoring these patients in exchange for obtaining their pot rights — though there's little guarantee that these growers were acting in a true caregiver role for these patients.
CannaMed referred all questions to its lawyer, Crosse, who says he doesn't get into operational issues. "I don't understand about the two price structures, and I am not informed, so I can't comment on that issue," he says.
As attractive as CannaMed's price tag sounds, I decide it's not worth signing away my pot rights. So instead I turn to the back pages of Westword, which has become a major marketing venue for medical marijuana businesses. Many dispensaries listed there advertise on-site doctors, though it's a risky move. Amendment 20 instituted a referral-based state registry so that doctors wouldn't be prescribing or helping patients obtain marijuana, since that practice could put them at risk of losing the Drug Enforcement Administration-issued license that lets them prescribe narcotics.
"It is my belief that having a doctor in a medical marijuana dispensary is too close to helping a patient get marijuana," says Brian Vicente, executive director of the drug-policy reform organization Sensible Colorado, who consults with several dispensaries. "I think they are at risk of losing their license."
Putting legal questions about these in-house doctors aside, I choose the operation with the biggest ad. The person who answers the phone explains that the dispensary works with a couple different doctors. Some won't take chiropractic records, although the one who comes in on Wednesdays does — for a $110 fee, plus $90 to the state.
I make an appointment for the following Wednesday.
Kevin, a marijuana cultivator, is proud of his $10,000 indoor state-of-the-art weed-growing operation, what with its hydro-organic flood tables attached to automated pumping systems and high-pressure sodium lights and perfectly calibrated carbon dioxide regulators. Just don't expect him to show it to you.
His growhouse, somewhere in southern Colorado, is protected by a security guard and movement sensors in the driveway; cameras beam footage to an off-site server. Since he's moving his operation — something he does every six months or so — he's not inclined to give a tour. Kevin, who didn't want to use his last name, may be amenable to visitors at that time, but only if they wear a blindfold and a pillowcase over their heads on the way there.
