Being on the cover of Sports Illustrated used to be a much bigger deal than it is now. I suppose the shift in importance is a result of a medium that seems redundant to a younger generation used to acquiring information immediately at our own leisure, instead of waiting for it week by week. However, with the latesst issue sporting the American League leader in all things awesome in all of his awesomeness on the cover, it's likely worth a mention, and maybe even, for the first time in at least five years, a purchase.
And as Drew Fairservice notes, being Supernatural is a heck of a lot better than merely being Natural.

I am considering to have recessed light in kitchen, family room and living room. There are so many brands to choose. Home Depot has Ecosmart, Commerical Electric, Lithonia Lighting, and Halo. Lowes has Sylvania and Utilitech.
I saw some LED recessed lights were marked as IC compatible and airtight, some were not. If I choose Halo housing that's IC compatible and airtight, does it matter if the LED recessed light kit itself is not IC rated or airtight like Utilitech and Sylvania? We have a one-story 1800 sq feet house. Would 6" recessed light look nice? It's hard to find 5" one unless we choose separate parts, which would cost much more, or choose the brand of Lithonia Lighting. Temperature of 3000K might look nicer. Is there any brand of recessed light and corresponding dimmer that you would recommend? Any input or sharing of experience is greatly appreciated. |

POS Executives
Declare the Integrated Assessment Program a Victory
Posted 1/24/2005
Recently, DFCS Integrated Assessment Program (IAP) administrators met with POS
agency executives that have participated in the IAP pilot since January 2003
to generate IAP feedback. Results were overwhelmingly positive.
Pat Trudeau, Clinical Director for Volunteers of America commented that an assessment completed by an early childhood screener was outstanding, and the screener went above and beyond the call of duty, claiming the case was the most thorough case I have seen in a long time.
A Win/Winn Situation
Carol Winn of Ada S. McKinley recognized IAP screeners had enhanced clinical casework skills. She noted, all the cases we have worked on [with the IAP] have gone extremely well. Winn stated collecting front end information has assisted workers in following through with implementing recommendations. Accomplishing this goal is a milestone; it is the core of the IAP mission.
Off to a Great Start
In meeting with IAP administrators, POS agency executives generated ideas about how to improve the IAP process. DCFS administrators took note and are working to incorporate suggestions into implementation plans as the program rolls out statewide.
Sylvia Flory, Division Manager of Catholic Charities, has a positive outlook about the IAP and stated Catholic Charities is committed, we see the potential for this program to work and we want it to work. DCFS and POS agencies will continue collaborating to improve the IAP and enhance the lives of children served throughout Illinois.
Key Players

Water Intrusion into Wood Frame Walls
Posted on June 19th, 2011 No commentsAt first glance, you may think this does not apply to you, or, you may wonder what an article such as this has to do with windows. This is after all a hurricane impact windows blog, right? Well, it has everything to do with windows, as you will see, and the chances are very good it's relative to the home you live in.On many low rise condo buildings, and most homes, the exterior walls to the second or third floors are constructed using wood framing. I use to be a big fan of wood framing as it offers much better insulation value. The problem with wood framing in exterior walls is the potential for water intrusion into the walls – a HUGE problem for your home or building. One of the big things our company constantly deals with in Florida, is water intrusion into a building, and it can come in buckets (pun intended!) through the roof, exterior wall finishes (such as stucco, siding, etc.) and windows (now you see the connection!).

Choices in Hurricane Window Protection
Posted on April 2nd, 2010 No commentsHurricane window protection is the most important protection for your home. The choices are many and our guide is to help you to compare the pros and cons of various systems so you can make a decision you will be happy with for many years.
Hurricane shutters are the most economical, therefore the most popular solution chosen by homeowners. However, hurricane impact windows and doors are also very popular because of the added benefits of convenience, security enhancement, better energy efficiency, sound proofing and its attractiveness over shutters. The least expensive system is plywood or panels; these offer great protection, but take a great deal of time to install.
Your considerations: Cost, appearance, and convenience (this one is often under estimated).
First, understand what it is your protecting: it's not just the shards of glass from the broken window that are dangerous – having your roof blown off will really get your attention. During a hurricane, the strong wind that blows over your home creates a 'lift' effect on your roof. If a window or door opening is blown open during the storm, this creates an additional upward 'push' on the roof, thus doubling or tripling the lifting effect. This is how roofs are blown off.
Here are the vitals on your choices for hurricane window protection for your home.

Choosing a Window Installation Contractor
Posted on January 29th, 2010 No commentsFirst let's start off by saying that the many different window companies may have their own dedicated installers. Also, there are many specialized products or niches within the replacement window market. Some companies focus on energy efficient windows and some consumers have a demand for this pricey product as it saves them money and provides a tax credit. For hurricane impact windows this is tricky issue since a vinyl window will provide better energy efficiency but also much lower design pressures. And the list of different products continues with high design pressures for impact windows on beach front properties (those also often need "turtle glass"), hurricane windows with lower design pressures (& therefore lower cost) for inland properties, Miami-Dade approved hurricane windows for store front operations, etc.
The Impact of Hurricane Impact Windows – part 2 of 2
Posted on July 22nd, 2009 No comments(for the first half of this post, see The Impact of Hurricane Impact Windows – part 1)
For the window to withstand hurricane conditions, something similar to the 9,000 cycles of positive and negative air pressure they undergo in impact testing, the installation is every bit as important as the quality of the window. Dave Olmstead, spokesman for PGT Industries in Venice, Florida, agrees that no matter how strong a window is the attachment to the building structure is critical. Olmstead says a window that is 53-inches by 76-inches would have 28 square feet of exposure, and with a wind speed of 146 mph from a category 4 hurricane would result in a load on the window equivalent to 1,958 pounds of pressure. For the window to perform correctly, the load has to be transferred to the building itself, which is done by using suitable anchors to transfer the load from the window or door frame to the rough opening without causing failure. Therefore, the installer needs to be knowledgeable in how to use this system and its different anchoring mechanisms. -
The Impact of Hurricane Impact Windows – part 1 of 2
Posted on July 8th, 2009 No comments1992 was the year that changed everything. That was the year Hurricane Andrew blew through South Florida and wreaked havoc to the tune of $25 billion. Building officials blamed much of the destruction on wind pressure leaking in through broken windows and doors, causing roofs to blow off and walls to collapse. To reduce the potential of future damage resulting from big blows, the code was changed to fortify buildings against wind penetration, thus the advent of impact resistant window.
Choosing Replacement Windows
Posted on June 28th, 2009 No commentsReplacement windows for your home can be significant investment in both time and money. There are many manufacturers, window types and styles, and a wide price range from which to choose, and the decisions you must make can seem endless. Which manufacturer should you go with? Do you want aluminum windows or vinyl windows? Should you choose hurricane impact resistant windows or non-impact windows with hurricane shutters? What about double pane-thermal insulated or thermal insulated with hurricane impact resistant glass? How can you take advantage of the new Energy tax credit of up to $1,500.00? Of course, as you make these choices you're reminded that buying windows is like buying anything else: the more items we put in our 'cart', the higher the price. Choosing the right windows and a reputable company to install them for you can take a lot of time and homework, so read on for some helpful information to get you well on your way.
Benefits of Green
Posted on April 22nd, 2009 No commentsHeadlines have continued to decry this historic correction in the first quarter of 2009. But despite the foreboding coverage, green building has proved sustainable in more than one sense. Firms and consumers are embracing the trend and proving that the economic downturn will not discourage the practice.
In fact, quite the opposite appears to be happening. According to Turner Construction's 2008 Green Building Barometer, 75% of commercial real estate executives said that credit market conditions would not stop them from constructing green buildings. Citing reduced energy costs, higher building values and lower overall operating costs, the respondents suggest that the current economic doldrums will not take the wind out of green building's sail.
Why replace your windows and doors?
Posted on March 31st, 2009 No commentsYou walk or look through them every single day. But how often do you really think about the impact your home"s doors and windows have on its value, beauty and livability? Home improvement experts agree that updating your windows and doors can help you save on energy bills, improve the look and infrastructure of your home and add long-lasting value.
"One of the most valuable investments you can make in your home is window and door replacement," says Lou "Mr. Fix It" Manfredini, home improvement editor for the Today Show and "USA Today Weekend Magazine."
Replacing your windows can mean making many decisions: Is it time to replace? And if so, how do you go about choosing the best replacement windows?
"There are four main reasons why a homeowner might need to replace windows or doors: performance, energy efficiency, maintenance and aesthetics," Manfredini says. To receive information on window and door replacement in Florida, visit http://www.arttofimpactwindows.com/.
This is the most compelling reason to change a door or window, Manfredini says. On top of testing your patience, windows and doors that stick aren"t giving you the optimum benefit in terms of convenience and efficiency. Performance is also tied to safety-if doors are windows are not opening properly they can be a safety hazard.
Energy Efficiency
Check for drafts around doors and windows by moving a lit candle slowly around the edges. If the flame flickers, you have a draft — one of the biggest drains on the energy efficiency of your home. Drafts add up to real dollars on your heating and cooling bills, so this is, for many people, the impetus to replace their windows or doors.
Older windows and doors require maintenance — scraping, painting and caulking. Newer windows and doors feature low maintenance cladding, a protective exterior covering that requires minimal maintenance. Many newer windows also make cleaning easy with a convenient tilt feature that allows you to wash them from inside your house.
Curb appeal is vital if you"re selling your house and a satisfying lifestyle enhancement if you plan to stay in your home for years to come. Updated windows and doors not only improve energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs, they make your house look more appealing as well.
When choosing your replacement doors and windows, consider quality, design flexibility and the reputation of the manufacturer, Manfredini advises. "The number one attribute you should look for in a replacement window or door is quality." Windows are one of the most noticeable parts of your home, so make sure you look for windows that are of furniture-grade quality.
Harry Artt Construction, LLC, a leading supplier and installer in Florida of replacement windows and doors, offers homeowners, condo associations and homeowner associations, free consultations to help them learn more about their options. To request a free consultation, call 954-687-6060 or visit http://www.arttofimpactwindows.com/.

Friday on the Forehand (3/9/12)
Player Tweet(s) of the Week
"I'm gonna work as hard as I possibly can to be back in an Avs jersey before the season is over. It kills me to be out again" —@matt9duchene
Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche will be out 3-4 weeks with an ankle injury. It is neat to hear from a player's perspective about what it is like to battle injuries.
Players, Trades, General Management
Green seeing Red
The Capitals Mike Green will face a disciplinary hearing this afternoon for a hit on Brett Connolly during the second period of last night's game against Tampa Bay. No penalty was called during game play.
Lupul Lost
The Maple Leafs will be without second in scoring Joffrey Lupul for up to a month with a separated shoulder. Lupul has notched 25 goals and 42 assists so far on the season.
Fleeting Flyers Forwards
Jakub Voracek and Jaromir Jagr both left Philidelphia's Tuesday match up with the Wings with injuries. Jagr returned to play later in the week.
Pick of the Week
Going Blue
The St. Louis Blues physical play and home successes have helped rocket them to the top of the NHL. A position previously held by the Vancouver Canucks, the top of the league and the Western Conference was taken over by the Central Division club today after a win over the Anaheim Ducks.
The Blues struggled in the beginning of the season going 4-6-1 in their October match ups. In November, Ken Hitchcock took over as head coach and the season began to turn around. Now the team has 43 wins and 93 points on the season.
After Saturday's home game against the Blue Jackets, the Blues begin a seven-game road trip testing their success as the season winds down.
What to Watch this Weekend
Anaheim at Dallas, Sat. 8 p.m.
Sitting a top the Pacific division, the Stars are four wins ahead of their closest division rivals, the Coyotes. Division Rivals the Ducks have fallen to the bottom with only 68 points on the season. The Stars will shoot for five in a row and the chance to stay high in the standings.
Philadelphia at New Jersey, Sun. 7 p.m.
The Flyers have gone 7-3-0 in their last 10 and the Devils have won their last two in a row. Four of the five Atlantic Division teams find themselves in the top eight of the east. Although behind New York and Pittsburgh, these teams have more than a dozen games left to battle for post season ranks.

Send Erik a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email. Have you already emailed Erik or another tutor? If so, you have an account! Sign in now
If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
I am a current student at Arizona State University majoring in Psychology and Political Science and maintaining a 4.0 GPA. I have been tutoring for about 8 years now, and I have acquired certain strategies and tools that can be very helpful with test taking and writing. I have been involved in speech in debate for 3 years and I am currently a member of the ASU forensics team. I am currently aiming to obtain a J.D./PhD with a focus in psychology and plan to continue teaching/tutoring throughout my professional life. In addition I have worked for a couple of political campaigns in the past and have had a lot of success. In addition, I was involved in a law internship through a private law firm. This positions have tested and improved my communication skills and organizational skills. With these skills, I can bring forth an excellent tutoring environment for students, and ensure they receive the knowledge and experience necessary to improve their grade and ensure they have a bright future.
I have been tutoring since I was in 6th grade, therefore I understand how important it is for students to get help in their studies early. Experience is extremely important when it come to education, and I am not a tutor that just helps students memorize facts and numbers. My philosophy is that students should gain real experience, not just understanding the material. With me, students can gain vital critical and analytical thinking skills that will not only help them understand the material, but actually be able to apply the material in a real life scenario. That said, I believe in student led sessions in which the student is in charge for the bulk of the session while I guide discussion, add input, and make corrections if necessary. This allows the student to fully develop the skills he or she needs to succeed in his/her academics as well as everyday life and future career.
I am bad at writing, but I'd like to say that Erik is very patient, understanding, and sweet with my daughter. She is always looking forward to her tutoring sessions with Erik. Highly recommended.
I was impressed with Erik's level of professionalism. He spent 6 weeks over the summer working with my son on study skills and he came prepared each week with something for him to work on. He took the time to review different ways of studying and determined how my son learned best. He then not only worked with him to reinforce that skill, but worked on the other ways so that he could improve in all areas. Erik helped my son learn the best ways to study for concept-based, mathematical, as well as factual subjects. It was an over-all great experience.
The girls learned a lot from him in a short time. They both stated what they have learned will help them next year and on. It was nice that he told them if they want to talk and ask a quick question, he will try to help, then told them that their professor or teacher will also be able to help.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am a current psychology major, and I have taken numerous sociology classes both in my undergraduate studies as well as high school. I have also previously tutored peers in sociology.
I currently maintain a 4.0 GPA in my college studies and graduated high school with high honors. In order to accomplish this I used many study techniques to not only memorize facts but to analyze and conceptualize items in order to retain the knowledge and use it in everyday life. I also have many test taking strategies that can help students do better on tests. Along with personal experience I also have eight years of experience tutoring students to prepare for tests or other assessments through tutoring and peer tutoring programs.
I have been playing violin for about ten years. I have played in both my school orchestra as well as formed a quartet in which I played for local community events. I have been involved in symphonic orchestras, honors chamber orchestras, and have been a first chair violinist in my high school orchestra. In addition, I have also helped teach beginning students violin while volunteering at summer school sessions.
Patient, Understanding, and Sweet — I am bad at writing, but I'd like to say that Erik is very patient, understanding, and sweet with my daughter. She is always looking forward to her tutoring sessions with Erik. Highly recommended. ...
Standard Hourly Fee: $30.00
Cancellation: 1 hour notice required

Comments about Canada Anemone Seeds, Canada Anemone Seeds:
Having read that this plant spreads and could become invasive, I decided that it was just what I needed at the edge of my sloping woods where it could trail off down the slope and through the woods. I was eager to start some seeds in peat pellets for transplanting. The results were extremely poor. I got three plants out of a packet of seeds. American Meadows stood by its product guarantee and replaced the packet, later providing instructions for cold stratification. I cold stratified the replacement seeds according to instructions, but to no avail. I have 4 small plants in total. 3 are old enough that I am seeing C. anemone blooms for the first time during Spring 2013. It is quite lovely and reminds me of strawberry plant blooms. I am also seeing some "runners" on one plant. I presume that it is getting ready to spread, and I welcome it to "take charge" for I have planted these in an area where they can enjoy free reign of the heavily mulched shaded slope to help avoid erosion during spring rains. Perhaps just a few success seeds will end up okay after all. Time will tell.I cannot honestly recommend this seed for people who expect good germination and superior results without a lot of work. Even the cold-stratification instructions did not work for me.

I'm going to try to sew a bedskirt. Any tips/suggestions?
As far as material, I'm wanting something with a bit of weight, nice drape (or hang), washable, and wrinkle-free. Any recommendations? I haven't found a pattern yet. So I plan to make my own for a simple, single pleat, tailored bed skirt. I'm thinking of making three pieces (left side, right side, and foot and then (somehow) attaching to a platform piece).
I would love to hear any comments or thoughts. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't use a deck. I make mine maybe 4-6 inches longer than the drop to the floor, do a top and bottom hem, and use twist pins to attach to the mattress, about 4" in from the edge so it doesn't show. The twist pins do not damage the mattress, and hold really well. Some use velcro, but that's expensive and you have to attach the velcro to the box spring, twist pins are cheap and non-permanent. I make mine a little deeper than the one I linked to. |
Here is a link that might be useful: example with velcro
- Posted by kathi_mdgd (My Page) on Mon, Mar 14, 11 at 20:28
I make mine from the poly/cotton percale type fabric.I figure the amount of fabric needed and since my bed is higher than most,i just fold in half lengthwise,serge the edges together then gather them.I then sew this to a fitted top sheet,that's placed over the box springs and i'm done.No hemming to do,it's nice and full the way i like them and quick and easy.Oh i do use my gathering foot for this. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Kathimdgd/DSCN1824.jpg Kathi |
jomuir - I do like the idea of not using a deck as it's so hard putting the skirt on by myself. My main concern about a wrap (or deckless skirt) was whether or not it would stay in place. I don't want to mess with velcro (we're not friends), but didn't even think of twist pins ,,, great idea. I will check that out. Thanks!! kathi - I do have an old white fitted sheet I could use, if I go this route. I probably should have mentioned that I'm new to sewing and definitely a beginner. Style-wise I would prefer a gathered skirt. But I was leaning towards a tailored skirt thinking it would be easier for me to sew. I have not yet done a serge stitch or used my gathering foot (lol). Then again, there's no time like the present to jump in and start learning. If my three sides total 220 inches (80+60+80), would you double that to allow for the gathering? Do you recall how you calculated your fabric? Or maybe just x 1.75? I'd love to be able to sew a skirt exactly like yours ,,, it's beautiful. Thanks for your help. |
- Posted by kathi_mdgd (My Page) on Wed, Mar 16, 11 at 13:31
How did the picture of my bedroom get to the post below mine???That's crazy!!! Kathi |
Lol, your bedskirt looks nice Kathi. The picture I linked to isn't quite how I do mine, it's too close to the edge of the mattress to me. I pin mine on about 4" in from the edge, so the top mattress helps hold the skirt in place, and hides the edge/pins. What I like about twist pins is they're cheap, you don't have to worry about being off on the decking or the mattress not being even, drop too short or long etc, it's totally adjustable. Also the deck usually stretches over time which can make the skirt sag. I may have to make a new bedskirt now... |
Kathi - if I tell you how the photo appeared, will you tell me how you calculated your fabric? Just kidding, if you want the photo to disappear, remove it (temporarily) from photo bucket (that will break the link between GW and photo bucket). Then you can add back to photo bucket. I'm so sorry, I just assumed you forgot to include the command sequence in your message (so I added it to my message). Your bedroom is perfect and your skirt is fabulous ,,, I really love it!! BTW, I'm used to hanging out in the decorating forum where we post bedroom photos all the time (and give each other decorating advice), guess I'm just de-sensitized to it. Sorry, again!! Jomuir - my top mattress is latex and so VERY heavy, so pinning 4" or more would work. I'd love to have your sewing experience, I'm just a newbie. My first sewing project was a x-mas tree skirt, my second drapes for my home office, and third x-mas stockings. This will be my fourth sewing project (lol) ,,, but I believe I can do this (and believing is half the battle, or so they say). Thank you both for your help!! |

Hi....I have attached a link to a discussion on this forum in 2009 about this very subject. I have since made 2 bedskirts, a king and a queen. I tooke the existing bedskirt off and sewed velcro along the edges of the top just above where the skirt falls down. I then sewed the other part of the velcro to the top of the skirt I made. I put the old with velcro skirt back on the bed and then attached the new skirt with the velcro. So far they have both stayed on without any problems, even in changing the sheets. One of your questions was how to measure your fabric. If you are using 45" wide fabric, just cut it "longways" so you get two pieces about 22 1/2 wide. You will probably only need a drop of 18-20 inches from the top of your box spring to the floor. Hope this makes sense. LOL. Anyway, I just measured both sides and the bottom and used half that measurement, allowing for the wrap at the corners and a small wrap at the head of the bed. Hemmed all sides, attached the velcro, voila....a bedskirt. I have only made straight tailored skirts but the next one I plan to gather, it will just take more fabric. The corners at the foot of the bed are tricky, I just wrapped the fabric around and kinda overlapped it. It covers the corners and stays put. Also, with the velcro on the old bedskirt, to change the look and match whatever quilt I have on the bed, all I have to do is make a new drop and attach. No more lifting the mattress to remove replace the bed skirt. Hope this helps you with your project.Good luck! Murphy |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/sewing/msg042344468385.html
Murphy - thanks so much for the response (you make it sound so easy)!! Yes, I had read that post (I always search first), but nobody had followed up with any results. So I'm very happy to hear you had good results with both your skirts. I've not written velcro off entirely, but my last velcro project was a disaster, so I'm not sure if I'll go that route. I'm considering the twist pins or maybe even attempting a hidden button enclosure. We'll see. As far as fabric, from your post above: "but the next one I plan to gather, it will just take more fabric." That's the measurement I'm asking about ,,, how much more? LOL!! I'm guessing maybe 150% - 200%?!?! Maybe I should just try to figure it out by trial and error with some test fabric, besides that'd be good practice for me. Thanks, again, for your input ,,, I really appreciate your help!! |
- Posted by murphy_zone7 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 19, 11 at 5:15
I am not sure whether there is a "formula" to use to cut the fabric get the gathers you want. My guess would be that it would depend on how much gathering you want. I think the trial and error would be a good idea and what I would do. I would just take a strip of fabric 2 yards long and gather it up to the "gathering density" you want. Then measure the gathered piece. Now how you figure the percentage from that is way over my head...LOL. I use ball park figures for something like this. But if your gathered piece is half the length of the piece you started with, 1 yard versus 2 yards, then double is what you need. That is, if you like the amount of gathers. I didn't put a lot of work in my bed skirts because I wanted the emphasis on the quilts I had made to go on the bed. The matching skirts just complimented the quilt and did nothing to take the eye from the quilt, which is what I was trying to achieve. that and to keep the dust bunnies corralled up under the bed where they belong...:) Post again and let me know how it turned out for you....we can all learn from each other. Murphy |
- Posted by kathi_mdgd (My Page) on Sun, Mar 20, 11 at 18:05
jlt, i just measured around the 2 sides of my bed and the foot of it and doubled that amount.Once i figured that out i bought the fabric i needed,and cut it in half lengthwise,joined the lengths together figured my drop.Then i put in what looks like a 4" or so hem .Then i just put my ruffler on my sewing machine ruffled it,figured out how much i needed for each side and the foot,marked it off with pins then attached it to an old fitted sheet. We have no pets or smokers in our house so i only take it off at least once a year to wash it,then put it back on as soon as it's dry,no ironing needed. As for the picture,it can stay there,i just couldn't figure out how it got below my post. Hope this all makes sense to you,i'm better at explaining things face to face than writing directions. |
- Posted by kathi_mdgd (My Page) on Sun, Mar 20, 11 at 18:24
Ok i just went in and measured my skirt.It's a total of 360 long,so that means i bought 5 yds,cut them in 1/2 lengthwise,that gave me the 360.The depth of my skirt is 16 1/2 "deep with a 4" hem.My bed is a queen size. I do buy king size spreads for it however as i like them to come down far enough so you don't see where/how the skirt is attached,and besides i don't like skimpy stuff.LOL |

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editor's note: This review has been updated to include the results of our battery drain testing.
Back in May, we fell in love with the original RIM BlackBerry Curve, but a recent refresh of the smartphone has our hearts pitter pattering all over again. The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 keeps the same sleek design and robust messaging capabilities of its predecessor, but then adds GPS capabilities. The ability to use your smartphone as a navigation device is particularly useful for mobile professionals who are constantly on the road, running to meetings or traveling for business trips. And we found it to be quite the capable navigator during our road tests using the TeleNav GPS Navigator service. The tradeoff is that for the GPS, you give up integrated Wi-Fi, which is what T-Mobile opted for in the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320 (we know--we want both, too) and there's no 3G support yet. For this review, we chose to concentrate on the features and performance of the device; for more details on the phone's design, please check our review of the original Curve. The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 is available now from AT&T for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates, in either red or titanium.
The biggest difference between the original Curve and the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 is the addition of GPS. With this feature, you can use Curve as a handheld navigation device with the addition of a location-based service (LBS) or navigation software, such as Google Maps for Mobile. AT&T offers its own LBS called TeleNav GPS Navigator, which includes color maps and text- and voice-guided driving directions, and local search. You can find out more about the add-on service in our full review of TeleNav, and be aware that the service costs $9.99 per month for unlimited trips or $5.99 for up to 10 trips. Check out the Performance section to see how the Curve fared as a navigator.
Other wireless radios on the Curve 8310 include Bluetooth and EDGE. Bluetooth allows you to connect to wireless headsets, Bluetooth stereo headsets, and hands-free kits. In addition, there's support for object exchange and dial-up networking so you can use the device as a wireless modem for your laptop. Unlike T-Mobile's Curve, however, this version doesn't have integrated Wi-Fi, so you'll have to surf the Web via AT&T's EDGE network. As we've said many times before, we know EDGE isn't that slow, but after using other 3G-enabled phones, the EDGE data transfer speeds tested our patience a bit.
As for voice features, the Curve is a quad-band world phone and offers a speakerphone, voice-activated dialing, smart dialing, conference calling, and speed dial. The phone features advanced audio technology that's supposed to cancel out background noise and echoes and will automatically increase the volume when you're in a noisy environment. In addition, the smartphone supports AT&T's push-to-talk service, allowing you to instantly see the availability of your contacts before calling them and make individual or group PTT calls. PTT plans start at $9.99 per month. The BlackBerry 8310's phonebook is limited only by the available memory--the SIM card holds an additional 250 contacts--with room in each entry for eight phone numbers, e-mail addresses, work and home addresses, job title, and more. For caller ID purposes, you can assign a photo to a contact as well a group category--business or personal--or one of 45 polyphonic ringtones. The Curve also supports MP3 and MIDI ringtones.

Beautiful roses! And your gardening clothes look fine to me! |
These are also Easy Elegance roses, My Girl. They are also loaded this year. Must be all the rain we had earlier. However, it is starting to get dry. |
Those are beauties, and pretty much just what I am looking for for my garden. And you are in my zone! Are Easy Elegance roses scented? I was looking at Knock Outs but was disappointed that they had little to no smell. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 ATL (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 14:10
Those are gorgeous Mary_lu! I've been wondering how they hold up in heat and humidity. I love my old fashioned roses but it would be really nice to have some that bridge the gap between summer and fall blooms. Your roses are just a knockout :) |

I like the rustic pump in the garden. And your blue shorts are a nice contrast to the rose-pink of the roses! |

How fun to see you in the photo. Those roses have really done well. Both are beautiful, but I like My Girl the best. I reminds me of my Port Merion. Your garden clothes don't have as many holes as mine. Kathy |
Your roses are drop dead gorgeous! Thank you for posting the pictures. |

Love the roses. You are positively in "black tie" compared to my gardening gear. kay |
mandolls, Sunrise Sunset does have some scent, and My Girl has a little. However when they are in full bloom like now the scent is very noticeable. What I have found is that most roses that are bred for hardiness seldom have much scent. I have been very pleased with the Easy Elegance roses that I grow. For me scent is secondary to hardiness. GGG, they hold up quite well. We do get a lot of heat and humidity in late June and July and they keep on blooming. now they don't look quite so nice as we got 1.98 inches of rain within 1-2 hours this morning. It got extremely dark and poured and poured... Hard on the bushes when they are so loaded with blooms. mantis_oh, I emailed that picture to my sister and she told me I "boobooed" as my red shirt did not go with the pink roses! We have had that pump somewhere in the garden for the past 10 years. It was a nice dark burgundy color, but has faded and desperately needs repainting! Kathy, I hesitated to post that picture as I don't usually put myself "out there", but when I have posted these roses in the past it was mentioned that it would be nice to have something for comparison (to determine the true size of the bushes.) No, not too many holes in these, but there are paint spatters/wipes as these are also some of my painting clothes! roselee, thank you. I have many more roses in the yard, but didn't want to overdo the picture posting. Also still getting used to the new software and it is taking me a little bit to get the hang of resizing. Somewhat different than the old program. schoolhouse, yes there have been some drive bys the past few days. Slow down, stop, go, stop, etc. Kind of fun to watch. DH noticed 2 yesterday. Kay, I was actually only watering last night, so stayed fairly clean, if a little wet. Usually much grubbier! One pair of painting/gardening jeans are so full of holes and paint that it is hard to tell they are blue jeans! Thanks again everyone! It is fun to share with other gardeners. None of my friends are really into flower gardening. Most think it is way to much work! Will post more pictures after I have time to get a better handle on resizing. |

Your roses are gorgeous! I think you have inspired me to give them a try. I am in the Bemidji area and haven't had any luck at all with the Knockout Roses. They will last maybe a year or two and then die out for me. Your garden clothes look positively dressy compared to mine! |
freezengirl, we are considered a zone 5 now, but I still plant mostly for zone 4. I have several knockout, both the double and single. The double ones have been planted since 2005 and are doing quite well. Some winters they will die back quite far, but always come back like gangbusters. This year there was almost no die back and they are about 3x4 already. You might want to check out the Easy Elegance roses. They are guaranteed for 2 years. Not bad. Also are own root vs. grafted. So even if they die back to the ground, they will regrow as the same bush, not the graft stock. |

Let the "scape watch" begin! I can't wait to see what the blooms look like... regardless of the cross! -Tina |
Very exciting to see that scape first peeping through. The anticipation is almost as good as the finished product. Looking forward to seeing the result. |
I've got one of Alana's seedling too, the same as yours so I will be waiting with anticipation to see what yours looks like!..Donna |
Everyone that got a bulb of RA x BP, please post your pics here so we can compare!!! Yeah I can't wait!!! It's an interesting combo!!! |
My Sis has lots of her crosses blooming, only thing don' know what the crosses are. some of them are beautiful!!! |
today |
they look very healthy to me its exciting waiting on new seedlings to bloom for the first time last year I had 200 seedlings bloom for the first time it got me out of bed in the mornings I have even been known to go out at night with a torch to see if any thing new has happened I think I have the bug very bad lol have fun and happy growing danny |
getting close... |
So it's going to be a May flower. The anticipation is getting to a fever pitch |
Here is the final product!!! Opinions? I dont see any stamens... and the stigma looks odd. possible to pollinate? ENJOY!!! :) thanks again Alana! |
Wow! Well how about that! Took after Dad with just a touch of Mom! A real pretty double! I would have expected much more red..goes to show you never know which genes will get pull out. I hope mine looks like yours, but it won't be blooming this year..maybe next year. Alana doesn't seem to post any more but if you have her email I'm sure she would enjoy seeing your pictures... I don't see any pollen unless there is some tucked under a petal somewhere so I think you're probably out of luck with any pollination plans. Donna |
Thank you!!! Yeah that's unfortunate and ill still dab some pollen, but I'm just happy it produce offsets at a quick pace. I emailed her :) thanks for the idea Donna! |

Hey KB, how exciting! I haven't been by the forum lately (just busy with personal stuff) but was so glad to get your email. Thanks for the heads up on this thread. I'm thrilled your bulb grew and bloomed. And I have to say, I just love the bloom too!! Those dark streaks are very cool. There's something special about that Blossom Peacock bulb I have. Denver Ryan says it has strong growing genes - lol. The parent bulb just keeps creating bulblets. I do see some pollen tucked in the folds of some petals so I'm sure you can use that. Perhaps next year you'll get more pollen. I also, finally, have some blooms coming up from this cross. I used to keep them in small pots and they never bloomed for me there so I put them in the ground and now have scapes emerging from the ground. I'll post pictures when they open. I'm hopeful I get one that looks as good as yours! Good job growing it - you've got the touch for sure. I hope everyone is doing well. Good to see your name, Donna! I miss you all! Regards, Alana |
We miss you too Alana, try to post even if it's just occasionally!! KB2 Yup I do see a bit of pollen in your second picture..I missed it the first time, you're in luck! Here is mine, it appears that I have two main bulbs, one with 4 offsets and the other with 1. Going to be a while for mine though, these bulbs definitly do better growing in the ground. Donna |
This post was edited by dondeldux on Fri, May 3, 13 at 10:34
Yeah I put all my bulbs in the ground and they grow much faster!!! Thank you!!! :) I can't wait to see what other versions look like!! |
- Posted by e36yellowm3 7 Raleigh, NC (My Page) on Fri, May 3, 13 at 18:54
Below is a picture of the Blossom Peacock bulb the pollen came from. KB, I think I might like your offspring bloom better! Is it fragrant like Blossom Peacock as well?
thanks, its the best flower i own right now! I have offsets that I can send you if you would like! It is fragrant!!! |
- Posted by berkeleysgr8 none (My Page) on Sat, May 4, 13 at 1:14
The bloom on your cross reminds me of a water lily. It is quite beautiful! -Tina |
thanks tina!! i got the same feeling!!! |
Fantastic flower - I'm impressed by how much there is of the blossom peacock that has not been drowned out by red genes. I wish I had used blossom peacock on this year's crosses now, but they have all finished - they had very few stamens though, only one or two, so the pollen is pretty hard to come by. Look forward to seeing others from the same cross when they flower |
- Posted by e36yellowm3 7 Raleigh, NC (My Page) on Sat, May 4, 13 at 13:30
I agree, HippieZep, I had suspected the same thing - that the Red Lion would be pretty much dominant. At the time I made the cross (2009) I had very few hippies and Red Lion was the only non-double one I had, so by default it had to be used. Since then I had never used Red Lion for crosses, thinking it was too ordinary. I'm really impressed at how lovely this bloom is! KB, let's see what my RL x BP crosses turn out like - should be in a week or so. I might take you up on an offset - thanks so much for the offer. Ryan reminded me he called it "weed genes" that the Blossom Peacock had. (I send him an offset from the bulb a few years ago and he's now got quite a big cluster.) So your seedling probably inherited those weed genes - lol! I'll be sure and post pictures when they bloom. Alana |
Very pretty KB! Good growing!!! |
Thank you!!! final product |
So one of the offsets also sent out a scape and after a few days it too flowered. But there is an anomaly.. looks like there is a stamen on the petal? After a light drizzle the following day |
your thoughts? :) |
Doubles quite frequently do this, nothing to worry about. I see more pollen here and there but I'm sure the flower would be seedpod sterile. It's very beautiful and I think that like my self, with PapExStacy, you've had a great case of beginners luck! Make sure you mark this bulb well so it doesn't get mixed up with the masses... Donna |
- Posted by e36yellowm3 7 Raleigh, NC (My Page) on Tue, May 21, 13 at 21:09
Wow, I'm still struck by how gorgeous that bloom is! The extra bit of pollen / stamen on the petal happens sometimes. Maybe also because it is its first bloom. Well, the bulbs I have from this cross are also blooming for the first time and two just opened yesterday amidst a heavy rain all day. I'll take some pictures tomorrow when the third one might be open as well - but I'll warn you, KB, that you definitely wound up with the pick of the litter. I think I'd like to take you up on a trade for the offset. Perhaps for a mother Blossom Peacock bulb? Congrats on your good luck and growing skills. I think you have a seriously beautiful bulb. Meanwhile, I'm going to be doing a little pollinating on my Red Lion bulb pretty soon :-) Alana |
Thank you Donna!!! Thank you very much Alana, for the bulb and the comment. I can't wait to see what other variations look like!! I will email you Alana!! |
These are just gorgeous, I'm slowly but surely being converted from a "species" girl.... |
- Posted by e36yellowm3 7 Raleigh, NC (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 21:12
OK KB, here are my pictures from that cross. I started with over 50 seedlings, gave lots away, lost some and some have not grown to blooming size yet. But three have, and interestingly they're all doubles! So here goes (and I apologize in advance for the condition of the blooms - we've had so much heavy rain this spring everything has really gotten beaten up)... Two not particularly well-formed doubles (aka 'messy doubles') that look to me like a Double Susan. (Donna, remember the year all the boxed bulbs came out to be Susan?!! These reminded me of that year - when everyone said "not another Susan!")
I'm hopeful these clean up their act next year. And get a longer scape too. Or they're outa here :-) This one was a ho-hum double red:
And while I was out there I noticed that the 'supposed' Red Lion seed parent I had used and now is prolific around my garden is actually not Red Lion. I was unable to ID it on any web site - it's got a gorgeous green throat (but no white markings) which I now know is not a Red Lion at all. It also has green markings on the reverse of the petals. See if you can see the green throat on any of these pics:
So KB, I think you got the pick of the litter so far! Well done! Alana |
I did get the winning lottery, for sure!!! Ill be sending a mature bulb your way in a couple weeks! And a couple extras! The red one is pretty though! That's definitely a keeper!! It's cool how there is so much variation!! |
Since its not red lion as the seed parent, we should give the bulb/flower you sent me a name!!!! What should we call it???? Pink Double Surprise Pink Blossom Flamingo Blossom PseudoLily Pink Lily Blossom Alana's Surprise Double Alana Pink Jubilee Pink Double Trouble Pink Joy Idk Haha thoughts?? |
I like Alana's Surprise.... |
Alana needs to get her name in there. So Alana's Surprise Or Alana's Double ? |
...well, it was quite a surprise wasn't it?.... |
Hence forth this bulb shall be known as Alana's Surprise!!!! |
Very pretty results! Congratulations to both of you!!! For those who do not know yet...Blossom Peacock is a Japanese hybrid bred by Miyake Nurseries, registered in 1997. It is one of my very favorite doubles for it's Lotus like flowers. A definite must have in ones collection. Like most flowers that "blush", intensity of it's flower's colors is very dependent on light exposure and temperature. Here is one of my Blossom Peacocks that bloomed in a cold January. |

This is such an interesting cross. I would love to grow a splendid hybrid like this. Thank you for the idea, Alana and the gorgeous pictures, KB. Is the bloom about the same size as Blossom Peacock? |
Ty! and im sorry i do not know the size of a blossom peacock, but i can tell you that its about 5-6 inches from petal to petal. |
Thanks again!! I planted the blossom peacock and its already sending up leaves! :D |

In the case of Zurich, it's the extras that put it on top when stacked against other quality-of-life candidates like Melbourne, Vancouver, Toronto, and archrival Geneva. Everyone expects the world's most livable cities to have a good airport, low crime rates, and a strong education system. Not necessarily factored in are cultural diversity, outstanding food stores, proximity to nature, a dynamic modern art scene, and a lake with drinkable water .
In the mid nineties I started taking long weekends in Zurich to get away from the grind of London. I returned to the city for the very same reason that I first fell for it in 1983—it was easy. Everything I wanted to see or do was within walking distance: I could drink the best coffee by day, see non-dubbed English films in the afternoon, and sit quietly in a perfect Italian restaurant in the Kreis Vier district in the evening and watch smart-looking couples pull up in their muscular Audis .
You can tell a lot about a town by the cars that circulate through its streets, and Zurich is firmly an Audi town. Just as the brand is discreet, confident, and a little sporty, the same can be said for the city: Zurich doesn't reveal or share its secrets readily, there's a bit of self-satisfaction that can veer close to arrogance , and the 90-minute drive up to the Alps makes most locals more sportif than average.
Zurich does its best to discourage cars in the city center —those of residents and visitors alike—by investing heavily in a busy tram schedule and issuing some of the stiffest traffic penalties anywhere. While the Swiss will look for any excuse to dig a tunnel or drill into a mountainside, the city's politicians have not been persuaded to build a subway system, although if they did it would doubtless be perfectly engineered and architecturally interesting . But, given its scale, Zurich does just fine with its mix of trams, buses, and bicycle lanes. This is a good thing, as the taxis are some of the worst I've ridden in anywhere in the world—developed or otherwise. Switzerland is obsessed with quality, good design, and efficiency, yet Zurich's taxis are often ex–U.S.-military-personnel cars that have been imported from Germany and tend to be both smoky and dirty, and the drivers rarely know where the hell they're going. On top of all this, the cabs are absurdly expensive. It's for this reason that I usually tackle most of the city on foot and bridge any gaps by jumping on the tram.
A perfect Zurich weekend (and the city can be covered in 72 hours) used to involve my leaving work at lunchtime on a Friday and jumping on a Swissair flight from Heathrow. One hour and 15 minutes later I'd be touching down at Kloten airport, and then I'd take the train to the Hauptbahnhof and grab a taxi, despite my better judgment, to the Hotel Baur au Lac.
I'm convinced you can't have an affair with a city unless you have a comfortable, efficient hotel to work from. It doesn't need to be luxurious or crammed with amenities; it just needs to function as a base for rest and refreshment . The Baur au Lac does these things, including the luxury bit, very well. It's a grand hotel in the truest sense of the words, and the manager, Michel Rey, is still the keeper of the keys and can arrange anything from a private-jet transfer to St. Moritz to delivery of all the Japanese dailies with your breakfast. The staff knows you by name beginning the moment you check in, and in the 12 years I've been staying there, I've never encountered anything the management team couldn't cope with—including storing large parts of my life in their cellar for months on end as well as rustling up last-minute restaurant reservations. The Baur au Lac is the type of hotel I could see myself moving into at some point later in life. Its location at the foot of the Bahnhofstrasse puts the best shopping within easy striking distance, the lake is just across the road, and Restaurant Kronenhalle is a five-minute walk over the bridge.
Just as you need at least one good hotel to fall in love with a city, you also need at least a handful of restaurants. Or perhaps not?What if a restaurant serves the best schnitzel and Rösti in double portions, displays original works by Marc Chagall and Joan Miró on its walls, and has a bar designed by Robert Haussmann, a godfather of Swiss Modernism ?I'm inclined to think that one restaurant of such a caliber is reason enough to make the journey. Anyone who knows Zurich knows the Kronenhalle, in part because it's a culinary classic, in part because it's a scene from another time.
The restaurant is divided into a main salon, inhabited by regulars, and a pair of side rooms stacked one on top of the other, and I've had some of my most enjoyable meals there while dining alone and deciphering the personalities behind the meringue-like coiffures, bronze-tinted glasses, fur collars, and fallen cosmetic surgery— and those were just the men. In the bar next door, entire evenings have vanished with a few good friends and many bottles of rosé from Canton Vaud.
I used to harbor a certain jealousy of Zurich's locals, who seem to have the most charmed life in Europe, if not the world. Theirs is a completely manageable city; skiing in the Alps is a short car ride away and desirable parts of Italy and the south of France a bit farther off; and their national airline could take them anywhere else in the world with daily frequency from an airport just 10 minutes from town. The autumn of 2001 gave me an opportunity, if somewhat tragically, to experience the city as a full-time resident. In the wake of September 11, Swissair went bankrupt and its global fleet was grounded. Having had little warning that the airline's balance sheet was in such bad shape, the country was in a state of disbelief. How could a national icon collapse?In the Swiss press the morning after, a blame game erupted with many pointing fingers and no solutions to the crisis . Watching the unbelievable unfold from London, I spoke to the editors at one of the leading German-language Sunday papers in Zurich and offered up a 10-point recovery plan for the airline. Long story short: the advertising and branding agency I run was hired to create a new national airline brand for Switzerland.

OLYMPIA – Attorney General Rob McKenna today announced that The Weinstein Company is the first motion picture company to add anti-smoking public service announcements (PSAs) to DVDs in which smoking is depicted.
Beginning with the December release of "Clerks II," the Weinstein Company's upcoming DVDs will include an anti-smoking ad created by the American Legacy Foundation. The DVDs are distributed by Genius Products, TWC's exclusive home entertainment distributor.
"We're very thankful to Bob and Harvey Weinstein for agreeing to help us reduce underage smoking," McKenna said. "We have been trying for years to get Hollywood studios to work with us on what we believe is an important and meaningful protection for our children, and the Weinsteins have stepped up to serve as a model for the entire motion picture industry."
The company's action responds to aSeptember 2006 letterfrom McKenna and 40 other attorneys general to Hollywood's 13 major motion picture companies, offering free and unlimited use of teen-targeted anti-smoking ads developed for the truth® campaign of the American Legacy Foundation. The ads were created as part of the 1998 settlement of the states' tobacco litigation against the major tobacco companies. As of this date, no other studios have responded to this PSA offer.
"We are very proud to be the first to sign on to this important initiative," said Bob and Harvey Weinstein. "The Attorneys General made a very sensible request, and we think the concept has a lot of merit. Hopefully, our company's decision to move forward will make other studios reconsider the idea."
Harvey Weinstein added, "As a former smoker, I feel like it's my responsibility to do everything I can to educate young people about the dangers of smoking. We really hope this initiative will have an impact with viewers across the country."
Cheryl G. Healton, Dr. P.H., President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Legacy Foundation stated, "Our hope is that the Weinsteins' bold move sets a trend with other decision makers in Hollywood. It is a simple way to prevent thousands of youth from smoking, and can ultimately reduce tobacco addiction and premature death."
Tobacco remains the number one preventable cause of death in the United States and 80 percent of adult smokers begin before age 18. Research has shown that teens are strongly influenced by seeing actors they idolize smoke on screen, regardless of the characters they play.
To counteract this, the Attorneys General have repeatedly asked the Motion Picture Association of America, and the major studios to show youth smoking prevention public service messages in theaters and on DVDs before films that contain smoking. The Attorneys General also asked the National Association of Theatre Owners and its members to run such messages in their theaters.
The Weinstein Company is the first studio to proactively offer to embed a classic truth® campaign ad in its DVD release of one of its most popular films. "We applaud The Weinstein Company for leading the way to deter young movie viewers from smoking," McKenna said.

Peaceful Patchouli Moisturizer contains a significant amount of patchouli oil, whose volatile components (including eugenol) can be irritating to skin. Far from being a peaceful experience for anyone's skin, this moisturizer also contains several other plant extracts and oils known to be irritating, and the heavy thickeners it contains can quickly clog pores. Patchouli oil may smell appealing, but fragrance isn't skin care, especially for someone with sensitive, reddened skin.
Earthy, woodsy, stimulates, sedates, anxiety reducer, aphrodisiac, sensual, exotic. These are some of the attributes long ascribed to Patchouli. Whatever the benefits, its soothing performance on dry, sensitive & chapped skin is legendary. Patchouli Oil is one of the few essential oils that improves with age--much like yourself. Hemp seed oil serves as an ideal super fatting agent, adding lubricity and preventing the skin from becoming irritated or too dry. Enjoy this all-over lotion whenever you have skin that requires tending.

Lining the shelves of many health food stores and the "natural" skin-care aisles of quite a few national grocery store chains is this sweetly named line of skin-care products. Similar to competitor Burt's Bees (where Burt himself sold handmade products out of the back of his pickup truck), the owners of Kiss My Face are also vegetarians. (What does dietary preference have to do with skin care? We don't know, but it's mentioned several times in the information about this company.) Also similar to Burt's Bees, the founders of Kiss My Face started on a farm and took their products and concept to the big city, where it was well received.
Of course, the farm setting juxtaposed with the urban success speaks to the company's desire to maintain their natural image, despite using several ingredients that aren't natural in the least. If anything, many of the natural ingredients Kiss My Face chooses are a problem for skin because they cause irritation. Even more upsetting is that they do so without exerting a benefit. The company claims to use the latest scientific research mixed with the best nature has to offer, saying that doesn't leave any room for "unnecessary chemical additives," but there is a lot of research about all kinds of ingredients, natural and synthetic, that indicates they are excellent for skin. Kiss My Face must be doing some inadequate or extremely limited research.
What Kiss My Face lacks is a product range that keeps up with state-of-the-art options from neighboring lines in the mass market. We are leery of any skin-care company that claims to be using the latest research and yet sells sunscreens without reliable UVA protection, toners with irritants, and far more bar soaps, which are also a problem for skin, than water-soluble cleansers. Again, what research are they using? Although the natural slant here is more a front than factual, there are some winning products to consider, and the price point is very attractive, as is the simple packaging. Shopping Kiss My Face carefully can result in some great beauty bargains.
