Our goal is pretty simple. Provide the information that we would want to know if the shoe were on the other foot, and help setup the conversations, free direct access and ability to purchase the necessary tickets and products to make a Las Vegas trip as perfectly outrageous as our visitors want to have. Launched in March of 2006, JackColton.com is often regarded as the leading Las Vegas nightlife resource for guides, recommendations, free direct reservation contacts, and for providing a very active open discussion amongst thousands-upon-thousands of Las Vegas enthusiasts. As of April 2012, JackColton.com has had over 7,000,000 visitors.
Additionally, we proudly work very closely with every major nightlife management company on the Las Vegas Strip to develop memorable events, assist in communicating their schedules, and to serve as a liaison for the unbiased customer feedback that comes from our vast web audience.
We receive an average of 2,500 – 3,500 daily visitors throughout our site, with approximately 1,500 of those visitors discussing their past and upcoming Las Vegas trips on our discussion boards. Much like Las Vegas itself, our visitors come to us from all over, with our primary feeder markets being Southern California, Texas, New York, Miami, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, and Southeast Asia.
JackColton.com develops and hosts between 40 and 60 annual signature events at most every relevant nightclub and pool party on The Strip. Some of our more popular parties are the annual celebration of the Most Beautiful People in Las Vegas, Las Vegas Sex Symbols, Nightlife Awards, Nightlife Entertainment Awards, May Invasion, Host Awards, Sexiest BFFs, 9-to-5: Because Partying is a Fulltime Job, and The Vegas Industry Roasts.
Our site has been extremely fortunate to receive no shortage of positive national and international press coverage over the years. MSNBC, Forbes, The Today Show, Robin Leach, ABC, CBS, Washington Times, LA Times, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, and the Travel Channel are just a handful of the major names we've interviewed in.
After serving as a nightclub marketing manager in the early days of the modern Las Vegas nightlife scene, the namesake of this site, Jack Colton, observed the need for a better class of online information for those who were planning their Las Vegas nightlife online, and used his previous experience in the dot com boom to build a unique brand that answered all the questions he would want to know if he weren't a local, and one that, as eccentric as it is, isn't always about making the most money.
In addition to JackColton.com, Colton's Las Vegas insight has been featured in hundreds of local, national and international media outlets, including ABC News, Associated Press, MSNBC, Las Vegas Weekly, TMZ, Seven Magazine, Vegas Magazine, AOL, Forbes, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Travel Channel, VH1, Daily Mail, Boston Globe, and even a few dozen in international inflight magazines.
A nine year veteran of the Las Vegas nightlife scene that has served as a Marketing Director for Light Group venues including Bare Pool, Liquid, and The Bank, in April 2012, Kalika Moquin joined JackColton.com full time as a Partner of the site and President of Operations, and currently oversees all local-driven events, merchandising, brand management, and our national growth.
Since 2004, EC Gladstone has been covering all levels of drinking and dining in Las Vegas for nationally-prominent media including AOL, Orbitz.com, About.com, VEGAS magazine, Las Vegas Weekly and many others. From the fanciest Michelin-starred restaurants to the Sportsbook hot dog carts. Gladstone has tried them all (and somehow, still doesn't weigh 300 lbs!). He also organizes the social media community VegasStarChefs.
He recently co-authored the book Restaurants in Las Vegas: The Best For Less, available for download to your Kindle, e-reader or smartphone from Amazon (and totally worth the $4.99 price). You can find the latest reviews on Las Vegas restaurants and lounges from EC Gladstone on his blogs www.nowImHungry.com and www.sipsavorswallow.com.
Gladstone has also been a club DJ, covered Hollywood for US Weekly, ran the Beastie Boys' magazine, and wrote about music for Rolling Stone, Spin and Alternative Press.

Deutsche Telekom AG (DTE) four years ago bought a stake in Greece's largest phone company, promising investors growth in southeast Europe to make up for slowing sales in Germany. That offensive has now turned into a retreat.
Hellenic Telecommunications SA (HTO), also known as OTE, is selling assets in the region to stay afloat as the Greek economy is mired in its fifth year of recession with unemployment at 21 percent. After the disposal of a 20 percent stake in Serbia's former telecommunications monopoly this year, OTE is now looking for a buyer for its Bulgarian business.
Proceeds from the sale will help bridge a refinancing shortfall of 800 million euros ($1 billion) to 900 million euros, said a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named because the plan isn't public. Deutsche Telekom's European business, once hailed by Chief Executive OfficerRene Obermann as the main growth driver, shrank by 10 percent last year as the region's debt crisis curbed phone-service spending.
"They never really stood a chance," said Fairesearch GmbH's Heinz Steffen, the top-ranked Deutsche Telekom analyst according to Bloomberg data. "The business is still there, but the growth fantasy is gone. As an investor, you have to ask: Where did my money go?"
Deutsche Telekom has spent a total of 4 billion euros on a 40 percent stake in OTE since 2008. As OTE's stock slumped, Deutsche Telekom has recorded writedowns of 2.6 billion euros on the asset. The Bonn-based company determines OTE's CEO and consolidates OTE's earnings as part of a shareholder agreement with the Greek state, which owns 10 percent.
OTE shares have fallen about 90 percent in Athens since Deutsche Telekom began acquiring the stock. They climbed 3.4 percent to 1.85 euros in Athens today, bringing their decline this year to 36 percent and valuing the operator at 907 million euros. That compares with OTE's 3.4 billion euros of underlying net debt at the end of March. Deutsche Telekom gained 1.2 percent to 8.38 euros in Frankfurt.
The Greek phone company said yesterday it is exploring the sale of its Bulgarian assets, including phone company Globul and electronic goods retailer Germanos Telecom Bulgaria.
"A potential sale of these assets would drastically reduce OTE's future financial obligations, while allowing the group to strengthen its presence in its remaining strategic markets," OTE said in an e-mailed statement.
Bailout Plan
Globul is Bulgaria's second-largest wireless service provider with 4.3 million subscribers at end of last year, behind Telekom Austria AG (TKA)'s M-Tel unit. OTE also owns assets in Romania and Albania.
Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS (TCELL) said yesterday it has made no decision on bidding for Globul after the Capital newspaper reported that the Turkish carrier may be among potential bidders.
International Growth
Antonis Samaras was sworn in last week as Greece's prime minister, the country's fourth since November, to tackle the nation's debt crisis.
Greece won a second bailout this year from the EU and the IMF, taking the total rescue package to 240 billion euros. Under the country's bailout program, Greece has to reduce its budget deficit to 7.3 percent of gross domestic product this year from 9.3 percent in 2011, and cut its primary deficit, which excludes interest payments, to 1 percent from 2.4 percent.
The refinancing of OTE is secured until 2013 and the division will evaluate further asset sales to generate cash, Deutsche Telekom Chief Financial Officer Timotheus Hoettges said last month.
Deutsche Telekom's retreat from some European markets marks a shift from its earlier strategy.
After acquiring a stake in OTE in 2008, Obermann told investors that he intended to continue growing internationally.
"In 2000 we made less than 20 percent of our total revenue abroad," Obermann said at the company's 2008 annual shareholder meeting in Cologne. "In a few years the portion we generate outside of Germany could account for two thirds or more."
As recently as last year, Deutsche Telekom's then-interim head of Europe, Roland Mahler, said the carrier was looking to make acquisitions to consolidate holdings in market leaders and combine fixed and mobile networks. No acquisitions were made, and peers including France Telecom SA (FTE) and Telefonica SA (TEF) have turned to selling some European operations to repay debt and secure dividend payments.
Everything Everywhere
The decline in European sales last year included the impact of the separation of the U.K. business into the Everything Everywhere venture with France Telecom completed in 2010, Deutsche Telekom said. Excluding that, revenue from the region dropped 5.8 percent.
Elpida Trizi, a Deutsche Telekom spokeswoman, declined to comment.
Deutsche Telekom tried to sell its T-Mobile USA unit to AT&T Inc. for $39 billion last year before burying the deal in the face of regulatory opposition. To raise cash, the German phone company is also evaluating options for selling its 50 percent stake in Everything Everywhere, people with knowledge of the matter said in February.
OTE, founded in 1949, has a 445 million-euro loan and a 312 million-euro revolving credit facility due in September, according to its website. It also has a fully-drawn 900 million- euro revolving credit and 1.24 billion euros in bonds due in 2013. OTE reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of about 1.7 billion euros for last year.
Slim Prowls
Asked about the future of OTE, Deutsche Telekom's Hoettges said in May that "in the end, the Greeks will always need a phone provider."
The former national phone monopoly makes almost 70 percent of its revenue from its Greek home market.
The sovereign debt crisis prompted asset values to drop across Europe, inviting investors such as Mexico's Carlos Slim, whose America Movil SAB (AMX:US) has acquired stakes in Dutch phone company Royal KPN NV and Telekom Austria. Still, Deutsche Telekom is unlikely to resume its prowl for acquisitions, said Andres Bolumburu, an analyst at Banco de Sabadell in Madrid.
"People thought the sector was going to be resilient, but everybody who invested has been surprised by the impact of the economic slowdown," he said. "Investors really don't want to see any crazy new moves now. It's a different atmosphere than it was back then."

202 Princess Street Wilmington, NC 28401
(910) 285-6720 |Call for a roof repair quote.
All Seasons Roofing, Inc. is a family owned and operated Roofing Contractor located in Wilmington, NC that specializes in all your roofing needs. In addition to serving the Wilmington area we also provide services in Jacksonville, NC, Goldsboro, NC, Leland, NC, Wallace, NC and Burgaw, NC. We specialize in: Residential Re-Roofing, New Roofs, Metal Roof, Shingle Roof, Slate Roofing, Historic Tins, Wood Shakes, Metal Fabrication tile roofs, Single Ply Flat Roof, Roof Installation, Roof Repair and Copper Bays.
Your home should be the most comfortable place in the world. You can have a great carpet, stylish and comfortable furniture, a sturdy foundation, well-built and solid walls, and even that delicately subtle shade of paint that is so hard to get right - but if you have a leaky or defective roof, you've got a nightmare. Having good, high quality roofing on any structure is highly important, especially in those parts of the country that have frequent rainstorms or inclement weather.
Roof repairs should be done at the first sign of damage.
If you notice leaks, missing shingles, or anything else, call in a
trusted roofing contractor right away. At All Seasons Roofing, we
handle all types of roofs. From flat roofs to metal roofs, we will
keep your home protected from the elements.
Your roof protects the structure of your home. If it's
damaged, it is time to repair or replace your roof. The roofing
contractors from All Seasons Roofing are the best people for the
job. Putting a new roof on your home is no trouble for their
experienced contractors.
The type of roofing you decide to purchase for your home will depend on what you need for your house. If budget is an issue and appearances are not, there is always aluminum roofing. Sturdy, durable, and waterproof, the only downside to aluminum roofing is that it lacks the aesthetic appeal of some other types of roofing. Properly painted, though, it can blend in with most home styles.
A shingle roof is the traditional type of roof that most people think about. They are one of the most common types of roofs that we install here at All Seasons Roofing. The downside to shingle roofs is that they may need to be replaced faster than other types of roofs. Considering a new shingle roof is a great investment for your home, it can also increase the appeal of your home for sale if a new roof has recently been installed. Shingle roofs are more than just a protective barrier for your home. They can also add an artistic look with different patterns and colors of shingles. All of the roofing contractors at All Seasons Roofing are highly experienced with shingle roofs and would be happy to meet with you for an estimate.
Shingle roofs are very common and are probably what
initially comes to mind when you think of a basic roof. If you have
a shingle roof on your home and notice that it is missing some of
the shingles or that the roof is starting to leak, it is important
to call a professional roofer immediately. All Seasons Roofing will
be out to inspect your roof right away.
Flat Roofs
Considering a flat roof? Many people have no idea what the benefit to having a flat roof could possibly be. Some common uses of flat roofs today, believe it or not, are for green houses. Green roofs, as they're called, can thrive on a flat roof and can be very pleasing to grow, tend to, and see the production of hard work. If you would like more information on flat roofs and how they are commonly used today, please get in contact with us today.
Metal Roofs
Metal roofs can be a great option for our commercial as
well as residential customers. Some people choose to have a metal
roof installed simply because they are so durable. A metal roof
will last for years to come, withstanding the elements outside. For
more information on this type of roof or to see which type will
suit you best, contact All Seasons Roofing Inc of Wilmington, NC
Putting a new roof on your home can be a challenge. You need the right equipment, skills, and knowledge about what type of roof is right for the area that you live in and what will go with your home. All Seasons Roofing Inc. has a team of knowledgeable roofing contractors who are here to guide you in selecting the right type of roof and take all of the labor out of installing the roof. From traditional shingle roofs to metal roofs, we can handle it all.

material or styles we can do, simply call today and speak with one

Solved! Go to the solution
13-01-2011 10:38 AM - edited 13-01-2011 10:39 AM
You should be addressing that question to STV, not Sky. It is the decision of the broadcaster to decide which platforms carry their programmes. There are also legal and contractual matters currently ongoing, mainly between STV and ITV plc, that are affecting the situation. Don't hold your breath for a speedy resolution.
In the meantime, add it manually. 10936, V, 22.0, 5/6 . STV HD is Label 3855.
When added, you'll find it in 'Other Channels'. It is not in the EPG. It is not recordable.
13-01-2011 11:42 AM - edited 13-01-2011 11:48 AM
Kenneth, thanks for the reply.....already do all this for STV HD & STV+1. Problem is that you cannot record them. I have already complained to STV with the standard response, hence trying to get some more info on what the problem is. STV HD has been available since summer....both sides need to push each other.
on 13-01-2011 11:42 PM
i think we in scotland should get a rebate in that we pay the same for hd and don`t get stv hd or stv+1.
also. we should be able to watch any itv region not what is in our card and what sky say. i can get anything with freesat and as the name says, it is free. sky up prices constantly. wish they had competition again like the old days when they first started.................

Apologies....you are right with respect to viewing the HD channels but they are not on the EPG, and therefore cannot use the planner or record these channels, which is my main issue.
on 14-01-2011 12:41 PM
OK. I am in Edinburgh, and have adopted a 'wait-and-see' attitude to STV and their current scuffle with ITV plc. Sky can only act after the two parties have resolved their current differences, and STV HD can be made available on the EPG.
on 14-01-2011 01:10 PM
on 16-01-2011 02:01 PM
Some more on this today Clicky ie, we'll get it when STV are good and ready to shell out for an EPG slot, and also when they've concluded their 'negotiations' with ITV plc.
on 16-01-2011 03:03 PM
on 24-09-2011 12:15 PM
All Sky customers should not watch STV and watch ITV on channel 993, to show STV that they have to change there minds over not allowing HD on Sky
on 04-04-2012 12:55 PM
If you have SKY HD box be like me I do not watch STV now I only watch and record ITV its the best way I know them
on 12-06-2012 01:50 PM
I also watch ITV instead of STV but it does not offer HD.
My daughter who has Virgin in Dundee maintains she gets ITV HD?

I am not even going to try to compete with this week's quotes. Thanks Don. |
Kurt Vonnegut...you just gotta love him. |
Don, your quotes all week have been terrific; thanks very much. About today's, I've always felt there HAD to be some advantage to growing old, so I now feel free to say and do pretty much what I want--within the bounds of good taste, though. I wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings with a thoughtless remark or act unkindly--not deliberately, anyway! :>) |
Dan, if you keep going the way you have been, you may be elected "permanent quoter of the GW/Party"! Love the Curt Vonnegut quote but the other old pharts are right on, also - too bad that in our society they are Senior Citizen - when in other places they are called "Elders" and it's a title of honor. |

The research examined the dynamics of citizen planning through an in-depth study and comparison of two communities – Richmond Hill and Caledon – that are immediately adjacent to the Oak Ridges Moraine. The study documented the issues, the roles of key actors, the strategic outcomes, and the local historical circumstances and political regimes under which citizen activism takes different forms. A book is forthcoming in 2011/2012.
Harris Ali and Roger Keil
The research explored the direct connection between global city formation and the way in which SARS affected the city of Toronto. Issues arising in this inquiry included how the global city network facilitated worldwide microbial traffic, and the implications for institutional governance and regulation concerning urban vulnerability and public health security. A book on Networked Disease Emerging Infections in the Global City was published in 2010.
This transnational research project involved collaborators in Toronto, Los Angeles as well as Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama in an examination of the intersection between popular education and community arts practice among pluriethnic and diasporic populations in northern and southern contexts. It provided information on the work of popular educators, community artists, organizers and cultural studies theorists as they addressed social, political and economic interests across an increasingly integrated hemisphere, with increasingly globalized social movements. A book titled ¡VIVA! Community Arts and Popular Education in the Americas will be published by SUNY Press in October 2011.
The research developed and tested a narrative methodology for exploring human knowledge making about animal consciousness, and considered the implications for re-situating animals in environmental ethics, conservation and education. In particular, this involved an examination of Western ideas about human-animal relationships, gathering anecdotal knowledge about consciousness in whales and bats and exploring the ethical and political implications of this knowledge (Wikimedia Commons file photo).
This research project addressed the importance of image production for Toronto, Canada's largest metropolitan area and the country's primary 'global city'. Image production in this study referred to images produced in cities and by cities as a competitive strategy to attract and retain local and global capital. In contrast to most of the literature, which is mainly concerned with the outcome of city-building processes, focus of the study was on the building process. While construction sites have always maintained a certain fascination within the imagination of the spectator, the building process had changed under the impact of globalization
This action-based research project focused on Dufferin County, part of the Headwaters Country region north of Toronto, in which FES is part of a network of partners (Sustainability Dufferin Society) engaged in a range of sustainability initiatives (Headwaters Communities in Action file photo).
Gene Desfor (Principal Investigator), Tenley Conway (Co-applicant), W. Scott Prudham (Co-applicant), Gail Fraser (Collaborator), Adrian Ivakhiv (Collaborator), John Jorgensen (Collaborator), Michael Moir (Collaborator)
The overarching question the research addressed was: How have various discourses and practices combined to produce and regulate Toronto's waterfront as a socio-economic and ecological space? Two books have been released as a result of the study: Transforming Urban Waterfronts: Fixity and Flow edited by Gene Desfor, Jennefer Laidley, Quentin Stevens and Dirk Schubert published by Routledge in 2010; and Reshaping Toronto's Waterfront edited by Gene Desfor and Jennefer Laidley published by University of Toronto Press in 2011.

With city planning focused primarily on the downtown and suburban regions, what lies "in between" has yet to be explored. Using the region surrounding York University, this research project investigated the relationships between investments in highways, airports, institutions and industrial structures, and the frequently under-serviced residential and natural areas that lie among them. A book has been edited and published as a result of the project and can be accessed at: http://www.praxis-epress.org/availablebooks/inbetween.html
The January 2008 workshop examined the conceptual basis, methodology, data requirements and availability for estimating Canada's ecological footprint. It aimed to critically review the conceptual foundation, assumption and methodology of Canadian ecological footprint.

The project systematically examined the impact of the TRC on the ability of Local Electricity Distribution Companies (LDCs) to deliver Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) programming. It aimed to provide a systemic and objective assessment of the impact of the test of LDC on the ability of LDCs to act as CDM program innovators and delivery agents. The report is available online and can be accessed at: here.

The project adapted an outcome mapping approach to evaluate achievements and consolidate learning from integrated environment and health research in an urban slum community. It implemented the outcome mapping evaluation approach in the inner city slum of Anju Kudasai of Chennai, India, and disseminated lessons and findings from the evaluation study to institutional governmental and non-governmental actors of Chennai and the international scientific community.

A comparative investigation of the globally-induced transformation of metropolitan governance systems in Toronto, Montreal, Paris and Frankfurt. The project focused on the urban region with its growing web of metropolitan governance. The emergence of collective action at the metropolitan level in Canada and Europe were examined through infrastructure, public health, green space, and human security.
The project provided a collaborative mechanism among researchers at York University, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the civil society organization Citizens' Environment Watch to monitor environmental conditions of local watersheds – a program that directly supports the Greater Toronto Remedial Action Plan. It aimed to facilitate adoption of the Juturna web-based community monitoring system by organizations having different spatial areas of interest. A follow-up project will commence in 2011.
The project aimed to train the Toronto Teen Survey (TTS) project's Youth Advisory Committee in focus group facilitation and support them in conducting follow-up discussions on adolescent sexually transmitted diseases and their access to reproductive health services. Community-specific qualitative data were gathered to allow more in-depth understanding of the issues and trends and to provide youth with an opportunity to make key program and policy recommendations.

The project was conceived given the lack of research on the HIV prevention needs of this vulnerable group despite confluence of risk factors and the existence of approximately 300,000 Canadian youth between the ages of 15 and 24 living with disabilities. The proposed study aims to address this gap in research by working with youth with disabilities to examine vulnerabilities to HIV and to identify methods for effectively delivering HIV prevention strategies to this population.

Bodymapping combines a process of storytelling, drawing and group discussion led by a trained facilitator through which participants develop an understanding of themselves, their bodies and their social environment. The study explored how connections between different ways of knowing were negotiated through body mapping processes. The project website is accessible at: http://bodymapinfo.com/.
The research aimed to evaluate effective methods of stimulating and supporting ethical policy-relevant community-based research in Canada as well as to develop innovative models of HIV prevention and support programs for youth at the local and global levels.

The research explored the direct connection between global city formation and the way in which SARS affected the city of Toronto. Issues arising in this inquiry included how the global city network facilitated worldwide microbial traffic, and the implications for institutional governance and regulation concerning urban vulnerability and public health security.
Kaz Higuchi, Jim Maclellan and Neil Comer
The project aimed at identifying and assessing various methodological approaches for analyzing and encouraging the development of a reflexive institutional approach for supporting climate change research, ecojustice, and sustainability initiatives at York.
The project aimed to develop an international research network on equitable participatory watershed management, including English and Portuguese-speaking African, Brazilian and Canadian academics as well as NGOs working in the field.
The project built on existing university-community partnerships to develop, improve and disseminate arts and science-based methods and materials for increasing environmental and watershed awareness and activism among youth in marginalized urban communities in Canada.
Jose Etcheverry, Lynda O'Malley and Jenifer Taylor (MES students)
The project identified effective approaches and strategies to increase renewable energy implementation rates through research and consultation with international/national industry experts, government regulators, NGOs, academics and community experts. It aimed at expanding the market for related technologies in Ontario particularly within the Greater Golden Horseshoe region.

Been working like this for several years, it's just not a technique for the average weekend woodworker but it definitely has a place in full time professional woodworking. It´s good for tenons and even short dado cuts. I never had any bad experiences with this method; as long as your workpiece is firmly supported on both mitre gauge/fence and you know where your fingers are at all times there should be no problem. I think a good concise article explaining this technique thoroughly would place it within the reach of experienced FW readers.

Re: Are CNC machines ready for Fine Woodworking?
Most definitely, it is time to open up to CNC technology. I own a Shopbot in my one man shop business and the variety and quality of work possible with this machines is incredible. Up to 40% of my work is done with it, doors, furniture, decorative accents, you name it. Parts or even whole projects that would take weeks to complete using standard power or hand tools are possible within hours and otherwise impractical or complex elements are within reach in a CNC. The availability of these machines to the small workshop is increasing everyday and new ideas and creations otherwise hidden would have the right outlet in Fine Woodworking. I understand that not everybody needs or enjoys the speed and complexity a CNC can deliver but there is much to learn from this segment of the woodworking community.

Re: Is it OK to sell furniture based on FWW articles?
I think Russell Jensen´s answer said it all, we all find inspiration, ideas, and just plain cool projects in FWW and if somebody puts them together and sells a few, well, good for them because they built a beautiful object that somebody liked enough to buy it. On the other hand if a project is literally copied in order to mass produce it or funds a whole business then the builder needs at the very least be granted permission to do so or agree on some sort of compensation for the author. Projects and ideas will be copied and sold no matter what, if a how to article is printed it is expected that people will build the project.

Divorce Party Favors
Remember in "Under the Tuscan Sun," how Frances goes out to dinner when her marriage ends? Her friend Patti says, "You start a marriage with cake and champagne. Finish it that way, too." If you're helping a friend to celebrate the end of a difficult time, our Champagne Favors with personalized messages can help you say, "Congratulations! You made it through!" |
Happy Trails - Divorce Party Lip Balm Favors |
Maybe your friend isn't feeling much like sowing more wild oats at this stage in the game... this whole "single again" thing seems a little nerve-wracking! Say "Cheers to You!" and lighten things up with Sex on the Beach flavored divorce party favors. Have you encouraged her to move on but she's having a hard time letting go? There's nothing like a little tequila if your friend needs help forgetting him: Margarita lip balm favors are the perfect fit (and no negative effects after the divorce party!). While we certainly don't promote vengeful thinking, what's a little venting among friends? For those who can't wait to make it final, Dirty Bastard is a mixed drink flavor with attitude! Add a "You go, girl!" tag and head out on the town with your diva friends! |
If you and the girls prefer a cosmo or appletini, you can stick to your favorites with our favors: our Girls' Night balms come in more than a dozen of your favorite cocktail flavors (see below). Gift tags can be personalized with soon-to-be-single's name and/or date of "freedom"...see below for examples of tags and talk with us about adding your own personal touches! |
Version 2.0 - Ready for a Reboot? |
Our balms are made with almond oil, coconut oil, beeswax, avocado oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, Vitamin E, essential oils and/or other flavorings and colorings.

NEW! Divorce Party
Divorce Party Ideas |
Our friends have come up with some really unique ideas for divorce and break-up parties. Here's another idea for a Divorce Party theme: Lemons to Lemonade. This works with lemon or lemonade balm, or we can also do Lemon Drop if you'd rather have a Sweetini flavor!
For a multi-generational party, this is a terrific theme that puts a positive spin on this transition. |
If you (or your friend) are feeling footloose and fancy free, this might be the design for you! It was just right for Sharon's "Free At Last" party, and you can customize the colors and fonts for your own divorce shower! Just ask for the "footloose" design when checking out! | |
Another of our customers contacted us about creating favors for a "Renewal Party." This is another idea for a divorce shower theme. Isn't this a great way to think about this change? Here are some other words that you could use for a party like this: awakening, rejuvenation, rekindle, restore, resume, revitalize. | |
Here's another idea: Vanessa 2.0. She's innovative! She's progressive! She's brand new! Personalize with your own or a friend's name, of course, and it's another positive vision of life beyond break-up. Can't you see these as divorce shower favors for a tech-savvy friend? | |
We just had to laugh while we were putting together this order. Yes, this was a real order! When people talk about "kissing balm" they usually aren't talking about this! We're sure there are plenty of women (and men!) out there who can relate.
The point is, no matter what your divorce party theme or party idea, we're delighted to work with you in making unique, one-of-a-kind favors and gifts. Don't hesitate to call us or email to discuss the details of your event! |
Here are some popular Break Up Party drink choices we can create for you. Don't see your favorite drink here? E-mail us with details—we can create a special balm just for you! Appletini, Champagne, Cosmopolitan, Dirty Bastard, Foxy Lady, Irish cream, Lemon Drop, Margarita, Mimosa, Mojito, Piña colada, Pink champagne, Pink flirtini, Sangria, Sex on the Beach, Strawberry Daiquiri Please contact us to discuss your options and let us help you create the perfect flavorful favors! |

I love the self-published ebooks that ereaders and ebook sellers have made possible. I love them for several reasons. One is that they are much cheaper than other ebooks. What can I say? I'm cheap. The other, though, is that I believe they are primary historical sources. When you learned history in high school (if you learned any at all), you probably learned most of it from secondary sources. Your text book was not written by someone who was there to witness that history but someone who had learned that history in someway. That's fine (if they learned it right, anyway), but it is not as good as consulting a primary source. And that is what we independent ebook writers are producing. Amazon Direct Publishing, YouTube, and blogs are turning us all into historians, recording the history we see playing out before our eyes. And the materials we are producing are much more valuable than those a secondary historian could produce. They are much more valuable even if they are erroneous in some way. Even if the authors or filmmakers have their facts wrong, they are still recording history as they saw it, and there are few things more valuable than that.
I bring all this up merely as an introduction to a ebook I came across recently called My Loser Phase: Tales of Video Game Retail 1992-1997.
This book has a lot in common with my books Arcadian and ANESthetized. Both were about video games. This one, though, covers a later era of gaming than mine, and it covers it from the vantage point of a guy who is slogging his way through the retail world. If you loved the Genesis, SNES, Turbografx-16, Playstation, and computer peripherals of the mid-90s, you will like reaing Johnson's account of how they appeared in the stores and were received by customers. And if you worked in retail (as did I), you will like his thoughts on those experiences as well. Even though this era is not my favorite era of gaming, I did live through it and enjoyed the memories Johnson's writing evoked. I sympathized with his customer service and college experiences as well. Overal, I really enjoyed reading this primary historical source, and if you like my books and this blog, you probably will, too. Check it out here.

We knew the remaining season tickets for the Winnipeg [insert name here]'s would be gobbled up at light-speed. But it's still remarkable that it took only 17 minutes, with more than a few enter keys no doubt busted around the city and province after some brief pandemonium at noon CST on Saturday.
The pre-sale for Manitoba Moose season ticket holders, mini-pack holders, and corporate sponsors earlier this week already began to demonstrate that Winnipeggers were more than willing to dig into their pockets. By Friday afternoon 7,158 tickets had been sold, making the jump to the final goal of 13,000 a quick one once the remaining spaces at the MTS Centre were made available to the general public.
With the expected support arriving swiftly, Gary Bettman was clearly pleased. We're still not sure if he's actually allowed to set foot in Winnipeg without the presence of an armed entourage.
In an e-mail to the Winnipeg Free Press Bettman said that like the rest of us, he's impressed with the sheer speed of ticket sales.
"While I had no doubt the 'Drive to 13,000′ would reach its destination, the remarkable speed at which it got there certifies the fans' hunger for NHL hockey and their commitment to True North's initiatives."
Jim Ludlow, the president and CEO of True North Sports and Entertainment, also issued a statement and expressed his gratitude to the city of Winnipeg. The league's board of governors have now seen the resounding support that the NHL has in Winnipeg, and Ludlow said the "success of the campaign is a key ingredient to ensuring the sustainability and long-term viability of NHL hockey in this province".
The only drawback to such strong season ticket sales–if it's possible to even call it a drawback–is that single-game tickets will now become nearly impossible to grab at ticket booths, and the expected price hike on the secondary market will become a reality. After luxury boxes gobble up another chunk of seats, fewer than 1,000 will be available to the general public on a per game basis.
No matter which avenue fans choose to score a seat, attending an NHL hockey game in Winnipeg won't be a cheap endeavour. Fans without season tickets will be faced with a similar environment to those in Toronto and Montreal, where the only realistic options to attend a game are through either popular ticket sharing websites like Stubhub, or by approaching a man with far too much facial hair and intense body odour outside of the rink.
Aiming to capitalize on the strong wave of interest, True North announced the start of a season ticket waiting list that requires an initial deposit of $50. That deposit increases to $100 next year, and those on the waiting list also get priority access to playoff tickets, and discounts at the team store.
At this pace we give it a week until the Winnipeg ticket line begins to linger dangerously close to the infamous waiting list for Green Bay Packers season tickets. Don't worry, that list is just 86,000 names long.
Unconfirmed Interweb rumblings place the number of names already on Winnipeg's list at 4,000. Newborn babies in Winnipeg will be signed up for tickets tomorrow, and they'll receive them in about 40 years.
Now all that's left to do down in Atlanta is to see how long the Thrashers website will stay active. Act now on great merchandise deals!
UPDATE: As a commenter pointed out below, True North actually placed a cap on the waiting list that limited the number of names to 8,000. Since that cap was reached in just a matter or hours, it's safe to say that the Winnipeg list was blazing a Packers-esque pace.
For the record, Green Bay has a population of just over 104,000, while Winnipeg's sits at 633,451. In a matter of days the second-smallest city out of Canada's now seven NHL outposts was able to have 21,000 people either committed to sit in the MTS Centre next fall, or anxiously waiting for their turn.

How do you know that hospice is right for you? - page 2
Currently, I am a nursing student. But, between experiences in a clinical setting as well as my own personal life, I feel like I want to be a hospice nurse. Does anybody have any advice for me... Read More
0Sep 2, '13 by Ginapixi, BSNEquestrian, i am so thankful for you and nurses like you, the ones with a heart! far too often have i encountered nurses who do not want to get their hands dirty, do not want to be bothered, just put their hous in and do as little as possible - they went into nursing for the pay; probably realized at some point it is not at all what they expected and caring has never been their strong suit to begin...
so to all who want to go into the hospice field, if you do not care more about the patients than yourself it is not for you - oh and you must find a balance as well, so you do not drain yourself in a short time!

Body Sponsored by
Protection.The skin protects internal organs from injury and infection. Keratin in the outer cell layer prevents germs from invading the body. Skin's elasticity withstands physical pressure and reduces injuries.
Regulation. Sweat secretions evaporate on the skin's surface, thereby cooling the body and regulating its temperature.
Sensation. The skin is a sensory organ. Nerve endings in the epidermis respond to heat, cold, touch, pressure and pain.
Secretion. Skin secretes sebum from the sebaceous glands. Storage. Skin stores vitamin D.
Currently, the United States' inhabitants include 78 million baby boomers—those who were born during the great population increase after World War II—and they spent $6.4 billon on anti-aging products last year.* How well you understand the needs of this market segment will determine the success of your business during the next two decades.
What is the holistic approach toward aging? Most people are born with a beautiful complexion. However, what you do and how you take care of yourself and your skin will affect how you appear. When I first opened my spa in New York in 1977, one of my first editorial interviews was about holistic care—a subject that was not covered very well at that time. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and, although it normally is thought of as ending at the neck, any discussion about skin care must include the entire body. Skin serves as a barrier—it keeps out bacteria, sunlight, germs, heat, cold, dirt and gases while keeping in water, blood, minerals, vitamins, hormones and proteins. (See Main Functions of the Skin.) I always took a holistic approach toward beauty by incorporating health, wellness, and face and body care. This also includes the importance of nutrition in the anti-aging process.
The skin has two main layers: the epidermis and the dermis. Without it, you could not live, yet it is abused on a daily basis by overexfoliating, overirritating with chemical and physical peels, and overexposing it to the sun. The past two decades have brought many new discoveries in the fields of cosmetics and esthetic medicine. At times, new discoveries can be rushed into without a firm understanding of the consequences and without the benefit of in-depth knowledge. Buzzwords such as "cosmeceutical," "medical-grade" and "pharmaceutical-grade" ingredients have penetrated the professional skin care arena, causing confusion and creating misconceptions. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), none of these categories are recognized legally. Products either are cosmetics or pharmaceuticals, available by prescription or over the counter. It is important to understand the facts, to share them with your clients and always to obtain information from reliable sources.
As a practicing esthetician, spa owner and product developer for three decades, owning a spa in the competitive market of New York sometimes tempts me to stray from my beliefs and give in to the latest trends, such as microdermabrasion, glycolic peels, light therapy and laser hair removal, to name just a few. But when I examine skin under a Wood's lamp and see the damage caused by some of these treatments, I stick with what works—providing long-term benefits and lasting results. I know that many of you might disagree with this statement; however, everyone has to make a professional choice based on their own personal experience.
Estheticians should provide the following treatments to help rejuvenate the skin.

John Paul II
John Paul II, Karol Jozef Wojtyla (May 18, 1920 - 2 Apr 2005), Pope from 1978
The later to become pope was born in Wadowice, a small town near Krakow, Podkarpackie. His parents, Karol Wojtyla and Emilia Kaczorowska, were married in 1904. His father was a career NCO in the Austrian army, arrived in the Polish army as captain. Both parents descended from modest families and rural artisans had little education. When Charles (nicknamed Lolek) was 9 years old, his mother died. Three years later he died, his elder by 14 years, brother Edmund, who was a doctor.

John Paul II has raised rapidly throughout the world, very sympathetic, but also hostility, leading to a coup, carried out on 13 May 1981 in St. Peter's in Rome by the Turk Ali Agcę.
In so doing, John Paul II, one can see a few basic directions. The pope sought to members of the Christian renewal of the Catholic Church among others through the implementation and development of guidance to the Second Vatican Council, but also through their own enterprising eg the World Youth Days. John Paul II also addressed himself to other faiths and religions, by participating in ecumenical and interreligious dialogue.

The Pope also mentioned the importance of culture for human rights and urged the Church to your interest in this form of preaching the faith. Do not ignore the Pope's relations with the international environment. John Paul II has repeatedly pointed to the moral hazard for the world, such as contempt for human life, the crisis of family values, unjust political and economic systems, secularization and materialization of life.

Despite the passing of 14 centuries since the first building of the Grand Mosque, located 30 kilometers east of Basra and despite the renovations that it underwent about five years ago, if you look at this place and mosque from up close, you will find yourself surrounded by the past and enclosed in history. And if you stare at the marble base that supported the Mosque's pillars, many meters away from the new building, you will feel that you are entering a courtyard from the first century A.H.
The Director of the Shia Endowment in Basra, Sheikh Mohammed Al-Matouri, said: "This is Basra's first mosque, and the third mosque in Islam. It was built by 'Utba bin Ghazwan, following the founding of Basra in the 14th century A.H., out of reed and papyrus. It was rebuilt during the rule of Abi Moussa Al-Shaari, in the 16th year A.H., out of adobe, like the houses in Basra, after being burned down by a major fire."
"The mosque was destroyed in the year 45 A.H., and was rebuilt with plaster and baked bricks. Its ceiling was made out of sheet metal in the year 160 A.H, in the era of Harun Al-Rashid," he added. "After this it could no longer fit all those praying, as more than 20,000 believers prayed there, so the government building was destroyed and annexed to the mosque."
"The government building was located near the mosque," Al-Matraoui continued, "as were all the offices related to the government back then, and the markets and the city's most prominent landmarks."
The Director of the Shia Endowment went on to say: "At its height, the mosque had 18 doors and 14,000 spaces for the many believers. More than 900 study sessions were held there, in which many of the prophet's companions and followers studied."
"Most Islamic schools and doctrines were born next to this mosque, such as the Al-Mutazila, Al-'Ash'ariya and Sufism. Great scholars in interpretation, jurisprudence, philology, grammar, rhetoric, history, conduct, language and literature graduated from here," Al-Matraoui explained. "The first lesson that took place in the mosque was the one of Jaafar bin Abi Al-Hassan. The most famous include those of Abi Al-Aswad Al-Duuli, Anas Ibn Malek Al-Ansari, Omran ibn Al-Hosyan, Omar ibn Abid, Wassel ibn Atta Al-Mo'atazili, Al-Hassan Al-Basri, Ibn Siirin, Abu Abido Maamar ibn Al-Muthana, Al-Khalil ibn Ahmed Al-Farahidi, Saybuba, Al-Mazani, Al-Mabred Al-Jaheth and others."
The Director of Basra's Shia Endowment continued: "The mosque's enclosure was rebuilt in 1997 A.D. with donations from the people of Basra. After the fall of the former regime, it was completely rebuilt by the Shia Endowment, resulting in a beautiful and modern building. All that remains of its ancient ruins are four granite bases from some of the mosque's pillars."
For his part, Researcher Al-Zubairi Thamir Al-'Asaf said: "This mosque, which is Basra's first mosque and the third mosque in Islam, maintained the name of 'Grand Mosque' until the 7th century A.H., when Ibn Battuta mentions it in his travels and calls it the Imam Ali Mosque."
Al-'Asaf added: "Today it is called Imam Ali, since Imam Ali is the most prominent Islamic personality to have passed by this mosque. He and his children, Imams Hassan and Hussein and his son Mohammed ibn Al-Hanifa stayed for the battle of Al-Jamal, which took place near this mosque, in the year 36 A.H."
"All that remains of the ancient mosque are granite bases and the leaning ancient minaret, which is currently undergoing maintenance," the researcher explained. "Whoever looks at it is reminded of the sermon by the Imam to the people of Basra: 'As if I in this city of yours saw nothing but the battlements of its mosques as if they were bows of ships in the depths of the sea.' This is one of the famous sermons among the people of Basra, and it appears in Ibn Abi Al-Hadid's book "Nahj Al-Balagha."
"Many people in Basra visit this place on different occasions, especially religious ones," Al-'Asaf noted. "This phenomenon grew enormously following the fall of the previous regime. It is especially true on the anniversary of the death of the prophet and the death of Imam Ali, as well as the Arbain festival for Imam Hussein."
Al-'Asaf added: "This mosque witnessed important political, intellectual and military periods of Islamic history, and due to its presence and the study session held there, as well as the intellectual, rhetorical, philological and literary schools there, Basra was known as the Islamic treasury."
Al-Zubairi noted that the mosque also witnessed bloody events, the most prominent of which may have been when Al-Hajaj took over power in Basra, in the Ummayad era, and of which he said in his famous sermon: "I see heads that have ripened so it is time to pick them," which was followed by bloodbaths.
The area near the mosque was called Wadi Al-Sabaa. It is located around 200 meters from the mosque of the tomb of the prophet's companion Ibn Abidullah, which was destroyed by unknown assailants in the year 2007 A.D.

We are getting ready to replace some wood dh (builders grade) windows that are 27 years old and starting to rot. We've got it narrowed down to Marvin Ultimates (full replacement) in either the casement or dh. We would really like to go with casements this time around - they are on the NW corner of the house and get slammed with wind & rain (we get a lot of rain being in the MidSouth). The windows are 31x64 so it's a pretty good size...is that too big for a casement? The RO is probably more like 34 x 67. Do you think that's too large for a casement? These are 2nd story windows and the Marvin casements would be so much easier to clean. We would have a checkrail put in to simulate the dh look. Your thoughts? TIA |

I don't have Marvin's spec sheet in front of me, but that size sounds doable. If you go with the casements, I love the simulated check rail option. My question is, why do you say that the casements would be so much easier to clean? The new Marvin dh's all tilt in for easy cleaning. |
Yes, exactly, they would be easier to clean because of the mechanism that allows the window to swing around for easy cleaning. I know the Marvin dh's tilt in easily - they dertainly have the best mechanisms we've interviewed for wood clad windows for sure. But the casements seem to be more airtight from what I'm reading and we aren't getting any younger. To clean both top and lower sash in the dh, you really need 2 people. This is another reason why I am leaning towards the casement with simulated check rail...assuming the size isn't too large. Anything that will make our lives easier (less maintenance and easier to clean) as we move on up in years. |

Casements, by comparison, will be more airtight. Your Marvin rep should be able to very quickly tell you what the size maximums are for their casements. Even the RO sounds like it is within the max limits of the casement. Just be sure to not leave it open for long periods of time or it can pull on the mechanism and create issues down the road. |
Your sizes are well within Marvin's maximum sizes (40"wide by 92" tall or 36" wide by 96" tall). Since they are tearouts, have the rep compare a standard size versus the 34 x 67 that you mention. Also have him show the taller bottom rail option as well as the checkrail. Looks dead on like a double hung from exterior. |
- Posted by HomeSealed (My Page) on Tue, Feb 12, 13 at 16:56
Ahhh... you are are referring to the "release" on the Marvin casements that allows the sash to turn around. Very slick feature. I still would not say that it is necessarily much easier than the DH's, if you think that 2 people are needed then your sales person did a poor job of demonstrating that. Casement and double hung can both be a good choice, and each has pros and cons. Casements are indeed "tighter" out of the box, however they are prone to sagging over time and the seal can be affected as such. They also generally have more service calls due to the number of moving parts and inherent design attributes. If you don't keep them open much, that will decrease the load on the unit and lessen the chances of issues... I know it sounds like I am "anti-casement" but I assure you, I am not "casist" , lol... I just like to try and provide all of the pros and cons of each to make sure that you are as happy with your purchase in year 10 as you were on day 1. ;) The cleaning feature and the simulated check rail on the casements will definitely give you a "Wow factor" with friends and neighbors. |
Double-hungs can be difficult to tilt in for some older folks and short people. I am anti-casement myself, other downfalls are screens to the interior side, but than can also be a benefit.The similated check rails are not cheap and would be a big expense to make casement look like a double-hung.It would also defeat another benefit of the casement the, the large uninterrupted viewing. |
