December was a whirlwind of a month for us, as I'm sure it was for most of you. I didn't do much blogging, so I thought I'd post a few pictures that kind of sum up the month. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
Adam kicked off his Christmas break by painting the upstairs and downstairs hallways and the stairwell. These are before shots with all of his helpers.
And the after pictures!
We baked LOTS of Christmas cookies!
Joshua learned that you shouldn't blow into a bowl of cocoa. :)
We enjoyed some outdoor Christmas lights...
...and I think Esther had a little too much hot chocolate!
Adam shot a deer!
Joshua took some pictures with my parents' camera and they gave him a photo album for Christmas. He was very proud of them!
Helping Grandma (my Mom) open her presents.
Getting Christmas tickles from Grandpa (my Dad).
Opening a big box from Grandma and Grandpa in Kansas (Adam's parents). The girls each got a neat old cradle complete with handmade blankets and pillows for their baby dolls! They have them in their bedroom and they love them!
Opening gifts with cousins!
Noah enjoying the festivities. :) He now knows to smile for the camera. He actually learned to say "cheese" (or "chiz", as he says) the other day.
We gave the children a Play-doh "Doctor Drill n Fill". It's the perfect gift for children of a dental student or dentist!
Noah turned 1!!
He had a great time opening his birthday gifts!

Happy 1st Birthday, Noah!!
Noah turns one today. :) He's such a sweet, smiley, happy boy! He loves to be held, but he really only likes to snuggle at bedtime. He's a great sleeper and enjoys being in his bed, which is very helpful for me.
Noah is quite a stubborn little goober and likes to test his boundaries. He climbed four steps the other day, all the while hearing "no" from Mama who had her hands full with another child and couldn't run to stop him. He knows good and well what "no" means, but he gave me one of those guilty looks and climbed one more stair, which he promptly fell off of. He whacked his head on the banister and busted his lip on the floor at the bottom. Apparently he didn't learn his lesson though, because he has tried it several times since then!
Noah is talking a fair amount, though not quite as much as his big sister Hannah was at 12 months. He says all done, hi, mama, papa, Jaja (Joshua), Hannah, Aga (Abigail), sock, ouch, gak (which means several different things, including milk), nana (banana), and I'm sure there are a few other words that I'm forgetting. He's getting really good at trying to just repeat words that he hears. He's been taking some steps all by himself this week! Walking is not his primary mode of locomotion yet, but it will be very soon. He's our youngest walker so far!
Happy Birthday to our sweet little Noah Bean!

20 Weeks and It's a....
Boy! We think. :) The lady doing the sonogram was new and wasn't sure. At first we all thought it was a girl, but when she took a closer look we all thought it was a boy. The doctor looked at the pictures and seemed convinced that it's a boy. I probably won't have another ultrasound unless I go past my due date, so we may have a surprise at birth! But we're going with boy for now. :)
Everything looks great with the baby, and I've only gained 5 pounds so far. I've always gained a good bit more than that by 20 weeks, but I'm sure I'll be gaining plenty in the weeks to come. I tend to pack it on in the third trimester...as does the baby!

Work is Fun!
I'm a pretty big fan of teaching children that work is not drudgery. In all honesty, I enjoy housework most of the time. I get a great sense of satisfaction from seeing a shiny, white kitchen floor that was not shiny and white before I mopped it. Maybe I'm weird...I don't know. But I think it's important to teach the children that accomplishing things (in our case it is usually household chores) is enjoyable and rewarding, and most importantly that doing our best at the task at hand is one way to glorify God. I know all too well how often they mimic the attitude that I have about something, and I know that if I hate housework and complain about it, then they most likely will too.
Laundry is one of those chores that I definitely enjoy. I get frustrated with myself because I can't seem to get it all washed, dried, folded, and put away in one day (even with all my help!), and therefore there is always laundry somewhere in the house that needs to be attended to. But I really do enjoy the actual process. It's kind of therapeutic, for some reason!
The children seem to enjoy chores most of the time too, which is great! After breakfast on Monday mornings they make about 15 trips up and down the stairs shuttling laundry to the laundry room. They had been bringing it one armload at a time, but today the girls figured out that they can bring more at once if they all work together to carry a basket full of clothes. Joshua carried his own basket, and they thought it was great fun! I wish I had gotten a video of the whole process and all the commotion. It was pretty funny. Like I mentioned before, I enjoy laundry, but I don't usually laugh hysterically while I'm doing it like they do. Maybe I need to learn from them!
This picture cracks me up because the girls have a small basket overflowing with clothes and Joshua has a big basket with one lone pair of tights in it! :)

I Actually Made a Curtain!
I have a friend here who is wanting to teach sewing lessons in her home after her children are gone. There are a few of us young-ish mothers who don't know a whole lot about sewing, but would like to learn. (I say "young-ish" because I'm not feeling so young anymore. I'll be...*gasp*...30 before this baby is born. Ack!!) So she has decided to make us her guinea pigs and give us free sewing lessons! She has two teenage/preteen daughters, as does one of the other ladies in the class. They have volunteered to watch the children (8 children under the age of 7) while we sew! I'm pretty sure we're getting the better end of this deal!
Our first class was on how to make a curtain and I chose to make one for the nursery. Poor Noah has had a bare window since he was born. Not that he cares, but I think it looks nicer now! I was trying to find gender-neutral fabric since the next baby may not be a boy. This wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but I'm pretty happy with it.
Right after I finished it I laid it all nicely ironed in the laundry room so that I could get the curtain rod up. Adam had asked Abigail to get a pair of scissors out of there, and she decided that it would be fun to use them on the curtain. Needless to say, I was less than thrilled. Thankfully she only cut the ribbon, and I was able to replace it fairly easily.
Speaking of Abigail, Adam took her and Esther out for a run/walk in the jogging stroller one day last week. Abigail saw something and asked him a question about it, and he proceeded to give her a thorough answer. When he was right in the middle of his answer, she interrupted him with a question about something totally unrelated. He said, "Abigail, are you listening to me, or am I just wasting my breath?" To which she replied, "You're just wasting your breath." :) That girl is something. Sometimes the drama is just a little more than I can handle!
Speaking of drama, I found a dead frog in Noah's mouth last week. I know...gross. I try to keep the floors really clean since he's eating anything and everything that he can get his hands on. I have no idea where he found the thing. Probably under a piece of furniture. It had obviously been there a while!

I'm a beginner with herbs and would like a very **simple** book giving me ideas on how to use them in everyday meals, what part of the herb to use etc. Does anyone have book suggestions. |

I suggest that you visit your local library and browse through the dozens of books on herbs they're likely to have. Take a note-book with you, or photocopy relevant pages. It's a good try-before-you-buy place to go. There are also hundreds, if not thousands, of websites with the sort of basic information you need - though not all will tell you which parts of the plant are used. For the most commonly-used culinary herbs, like oregano, rosemary, basil, chives, coriander, parsley, sage, bay, thyme, mint - it's the leaves which are used. The flowers of all of these are also edible. Commonly used seeds are: pepper, sesame, fenugreek, coriander, dill, fennel. Commonly used roots are: ginger, turmeric, arrowroot. Do NOT assume that because one part of the plant is edible, all parts of the same plant are edible! When in doubt, ASK. Below are some websites you could look at - I picked them at random after a google search for 'herb uses cooking' (I had a choice of 4,830,000 sites!): http://www.mountainvalleygrowers.com/kitchenherbgarden.htm http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food/cooking/fresh-herbs-cooking-guide http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A505513 http://www.yankeeharvest.com/spice_mill/yhspgloss.html |

Your local library will have "beginner" books. Go and see what books you like. The "beginner" books all contain much the same info but are formatted differently. See what format or book appeals to you. Buy a copy (used saves oodles of cash!) if you really like it! FataMorgana |
OK. I'll do that. Thanks to both of you. And thanks for the info and links daisy. |
Thanks for the encouragement. :) |

Hi, Everybody,
I think I should let you know that I updated my jjajangmyun recipe.
I made my jjajangmyeon by following my own recipe a few days ago because a few people pointed out their jjajangmyeon turned out too bland.
I exactly followed the measurements in the recipe and found out some were wrong! I don't know what happened to me when I wrote down the recipe! If you stick to my video recipe, you might not have noticed anything wrong, but those who followed my written recipe closely would have found the measurements were not clear.
Before I started my cooking video recipe stuff, I had never used universal measurements such as cups, teaspoons, table spoons… I used just my spoon. I still don't use measurements while I'm cooking my everyday meal. I use measurements only when I make videos. It's actually difficult for Koreans to measure cups and tbs exactly because some sticky ingredients like hot pepper paste or bean paste are not easy to scoop.
Fortunately I'm getting more accustomed to measuring these days.
I corrected the recipe and already updated it on my website, and also edited the podcast and video to make it clearer. But I can't do it for YouTube because it doesn't allow us to replace a video.
I hope those who bought my books read this blog. I will correct the cookbook too.
Anyway, I corrected this:
from 6 cups of water to 3 cups of water
from 2 tbs of black bean paste to 6 or 7 tbs of black bean paste (in the video, I used 2 big spoonfuls of black bean paste which is amount of 6-7 tbs!)
Thank you Linda and Jen! Without your comments, I probably would never have found that I wrote down the wrong measurements.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Very happy with the product and customer service was super helpful with the design and invite ! I ordered samples first and they arrived quickly and the invites themselves arrived FAST! Very happy :) Process was super easy and experience was very pleasant."
"I am having a summer wedding in a garden, and these invites perfectly captured our wedding. They are simple, sturdy, and elegant. The design process was a breeze and we received our invites in days. I can't wait to send them out!"
"I loved everything about these invites, I used them for my wedding with a picture of my fiance and me and then a picture of our daughter, and then one of us as a family. It worked perfect and fit the theme amazingly. The pictures were crystal clear, and printed beautifully. My order even came in a week earlier then was estimated. they were quick and professional."
"I was skeptical about ordering invitations online but had only heard wonderful things about Wedding Paper Divas, so we decided to go ahead and order. I am so glad that we did! The invitations turned out beautifully. The paper is incredibly nice, the design is flawless, and the color is just like what is shown on the site. We decided not to personalize the color as the color was very similar to our wedding colors. However, we did have an extra line we wanted added and our designer helped us with that tremendously! I also contacted Wedding Paper Divas with a few questions here and there, and they were always quick to answer and very helpful. Thank you for making our invitations so beautiful!"
"I had a lot of questions about wording certain things and took full advantage of the live chat feature on the website. The customer support was WONDERFUL and made my invites look better than I ever could have imagined!"

Losing excess weight comes with several benefits. However, this may not always be the case. There are some ways of losing weight which cannot be described as being safe outright.
Exaggerated dieting has brought a number of health problems to many people. There are circumstances which are not ideal for weight loss programs either.
When a person has an existing medical condition, then the method of losing weight if necessary at all comes into question. Usually, in the desire to lose weight fast, people may choose to use supplements like Garcinia Cambogia Extract.
While this is a product that is widely considered to be safe and effective, there are several situations that call for extreme caution when using it. Click on the following link to know about Garcinia cambogia side effects and benefits.
When you are pregnant, there is considerable strain to your body. The child takes its nutrition from you and this is bound to leave you less strong than you would ordinarily be. You also have to handle the extra weight that its development brings to your body.
Your body will sometimes gain some weight to help keep the body healthy. However, this does not mean that excessive weight gain should be ignored. The truth is that being extremely overweight during pregnancy can come with risks to both you and the baby.
Adding more weight than is required is a common problem that many expectant mothers have to deal with. This is when many women feel that they would benefit from using Garcinia Cambogia extract.
However it needs to be emphasized that using weight loss pills are not recommended when you are pregnant. Garcinia Cambogia, for example, works by blocking the formation of fat from sugars consumed and suppressing the appetite.
This can prove to be dangerous given your situation. For starters, you need to consume sufficient food to cater for your unborn child's needs. When your appetite is suppressed, you may deny the baby important nutrients which can cause developmental problems for it.
At the same time, your body is already very much strained from pregnancy. By exposing yourself to the supplement, you will simply be increasing this strain.
Hence, if you feel that you really need to shed a bit of weight during your pregnancy, you are better consulting your doctor or checking out few pure garcinia cambogia reviews. There are several measures that he can prescribe for you to help control your weight in light of your condition. Garcinia Cambogia fruit extract should never be used without the due guidance of a doctor during pregnancy.

Industry Leaders Sponsored by
Making a connection with people is one of the most important aspects of esthetics to Shanti Claire Savarese, owner of Skin Goddess SpaCare in Tempe, Arizona, and it was also one of the motivators that spurred her into joining the profession.
"Growing up in New Jersey, I was always aware of skin care and the spa industry, but it was still a little bit under the radar," she notes. So, after attending William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey, as a vocal major for two years, she headed in a different direction, working as a singer in Atlantic City casinos. Eventually, however, she got involved doing public relations work for a perfume company, bringing her attention more fully to the beauty industry. "I was going into upscale department stores, talking with the women at the makeup and beauty counters, and I developed a connection with cosmetology," Savarese explains.
Taking her interest to the next level, she enrolled in the cosmetology program at Capri Institute in Brick, New Jersey. After only a short time in the program, however, she changed her focus to esthetics. "I always wanted to do skin, and once I got in there, I loved it. I got my esthetic license and never looked back." That was in 1997, and soon after, Savarese began working at various area facilities, eventually becoming the manager, lead esthetician and trainer at Bellezza Spa & Salon in Toms River, New Jersey.
Along the way, she continued her education, and one technique that really caught her attention was ayurveda. Although she didn't pursue this interest initially, a life change soon brought Savarese closer to the ayurvedic training she desired. "My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and so, in 2004, I packed up my daughter and my parents and moved to Arizona," she says, explaining the move was to escape harsh East Coast winters and be closer to her siblings, who had relocated to Arizona and California.
With the move, Savarese had intended to just to act as a caretaker for her parents and 17-year-old daughter, but quickly found herself missing esthetics. "I had sent ahead to transfer my license to Arizona just in case, and within three months of moving, I opened Skin Goddess SpaCare at the Desert Sage Herbs store in Chandler, Arizona," she says.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chance!
Facts about Chance
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Chance's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Chance is a beautiful white male German Shepherd, he is a bit on the smaller side at about 60lbs. Chance is approx. 5 years old, he is playful and gets along well with other dogs, he has a sweet disposition. He has done well with his cat testing and we will do more testing with him. We feel he would benefit by living in a home with senior citizens or a quiet home. Chance is very mellow, calm and can be a couch potato, but does love to go for walks. He is not lazy or sedentary by any means. Chance needs a 2nd chance by an understanding and patient family. If you would like to make this quiet fella a part of your family, he will make a great companion.
Please apply with this rescue.
More information and photos will be added as he is further evaluated.
If you would like to add Chance to your family, please file an application.
Each dog's adoption donation varies depending on the age of the dog.
$300 for any dog 1 year and younger (BABY)
$250 for any dog 1-3 years (YOUNG)
$200 for any dog 3-7 years (ADULT)
$150 for dogs over 7 (SENIOR)
All our adoptable dogs are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing & monthly preventative and have been spayed or neutered.
Everyone must submit an application before an appointment is made to meet the dogs. Dogs are introduced to prospective adopters BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
***Not able to adopt? Consider FOSTERING one of our four-legged friends***
Donations to help us care for all the dogs in our program are also greatly appreciated and may be made from our main petfinder page: http://IDGSR.petfinder.com
Other Pets at Imminent Danger German Shepherd - TN Chapter Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chance, a Greeneville German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Greeneville, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Greeneville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greeneville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greeneville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greeneville paves the way for another one to be saved.

american apparel yoga
Loved it? Leave a tip!
21 Responses to "american apparel yoga"
This is so unbelievably hilarious…presentation 10+ by Elephant Journal!
apparently the photographers have never done yoga either… how could they put their name on these photos?
So judgmental for a bunch of "yogis". She's a kid, doing yoga, or some form of it. They are not advertising yoga, they are advertising apparel and clearly the apparel is able to move with/cover her body so it's doing the job. As a teacher, i would love to go help her with alignment so she doesn't get hurt, but to poke fun is simply not yogic. Grow up "yogis". I would love to see how wonderful all your alignment look. Yoga is not always pretty and a good student knows it's not about the asana or it's "perfection"
I agree.
"but to poke fun is simply not yogic"
-Neither is self righteousness. Or judgement. Or attachment.
I can't believe you are posting this saying that this girl is not good enough to model yoga clothes. She isn't showing people how to do yoga. She is modeling clothing and I think it is refreshing to have someone that looks half normal modeling clothing for a change. This article is petty and really, sort of disgusting. You don't need to be a super yogini to model yoga clothing and I am glad they didn't get one. I would have expected better of you, Elephant Journal. This is like a bitchy popular teenager making fun of someone for not being as good looking as she is. In a time when models are grotesquely underweight in general and girls this models age have severe image problems for looking like her .. which is perfectly cute .. you post this article making fun of her. Really?
It's pure marketing. Show the opposite of what yoga journal is doing. Use a passive disenchanted less than healthy looking waif to illustrate how "boring" & mainstream yoga is. It's not special, it's what this girl's mom has been doing for 15 years and the look on her face is "lame". And… AA has long been known to use the thinnest, youngest models they can get away with, wearing the least amount if clothing needed so as not to cross the pornography line. They are well known for this kind sexist tactic. I refuse to support them.
That´s actually cute I love it.. don´t need to be perfect…
This is hysterical!
I think this was intentional, to counter the perfection standard that has made yoga feel too difficult for the mainstream person. Many people look like this as beginners. It doesn't say she's teaching yoga or going to always do yoga this way. It just shows an imperfect young girl trying some yoga poses. I could care less about American Apparel, but laughing about her
"bad" yoga as anti-yoga philosophically as it gets. I'll take this over naked yoga any day. Both versions are there to sell something. -
I agree with the others who commented about how judgmental and superior this article sounds. The poses could be improved, the photography and lighting could be improved, the clothing could be improved, the writing in this article could certainly be improved. But that doesn't mean it is helpful to judge, mock, or put someone down.
Unfortunatelly we are too used to see thiese gorgeous models with extremely thin bodys performing perfect asanas. This is kind of refreshing! Well done girls!
Just guessing, but I'm pretty sure they did on purpose. Yoga clothing ads can be very intimidating, and can give the impression that if you can't do a perfect pose you don't belong in these pants, or something like that. I'm guessing they picked her because she looks cute in the clothes. They call them yoga clothes, but they want everyone to want/buy them.
I think it's great that she isn't "picture perfect" in her poses – after all, having a perfect looking pose is NOT what yoga is about, because THAT is based on the outside.
Isn't yoga about the inside? Unless you are doing gymnastics and calling it yoga, then I guess it is about how it looks and what is happening on the outside.
Yes, her alignment needs a little help, but in my opinion, it is smart advertising. It actually makes yoga seem like a human process that is real, rather than what is on the cover of Yoga Journal or any of the other magazines….it shows a cute girl, wearing cute and stretchy clothing that she can wear to a yoga class. It shows that she is a student, not a perfectionist. I think she is more yogic than the perfect looking yogini.
I like what this ad has generated- discussion with good arguments on both sides- way to go EJ and AA!
*However I have to agree that what AA is doing is purely to keep in stride with thier ironic image of 'whats not cool', not trying to create a fresh positive role model for young girls. But at least her arse isn't hanging out : / -
I identify with her a lot more than I do the Lululemon models!
Maybe it's saying: "If you wanna start doing yoga, these pants are a good place to start."
I think the people posting negative things are missing the whole point of yoga.
I can do a full lotus and don't even do yoga (yet – planning to)… Always have been able to. Can also put legs bent up side of body and lay on my back
When we point one finger at one, I hope we look down and see three pointing at yourself. What did Lululemon give as an impression for women and how to look. yoga is about going within. What I see positive about this advert is it looks like a normal teen not having to be perfect. Just be extraordinary by being her ordinary self. Teens struggle because there is always a show of perfection and they are finding their own voice. Lets not criticize why not change our way and look for the positive instead of critising the alignment. She actually makes yoga feel real , while all the others made many people misunderstand the true essence of yoga.

VIBE Summer 2013 Cover: Pharrell And Daft Punk
You've got a lot of other great musicians who played on Random Access Memories. How did you go about getting them all on the album?
WILLIAMS: They won't ever take credit for that, but there's a reason why that album is the equation that it is: You have to love music. You have to love the musicians that pontificated and decided to put it on tape. When you listened to this album, you were listening to two huge fans working with people they have admired all their lives. And that is one of the biggest things that I have an incredible admiration for when it comes to them because they have the willingness to stare all of the contemporary and modern equipment in the face and go, "I will not use your preset. You will not lock me in this box."
BANGALTER: That's that energy. We wanted to do dance music with live musicians.The process—the arrangement, calling, production on these instrumental tracks— was new for us, but there was so much life and energy from the music performances themselves.
DE HOMEM-CHRISTO: For instance, with "Get Lucky" we would have Nile [Rodgers] performing on guitar, then we added Paul Jackson Jr., who was feeding off the energy from Nile playing. Then we added the keys and the final bass parts—it felt like everybody was up there playing with Nile. It was becoming easier and easier. By the time we connected with Pharrell to finish writing the song, it was infused with so much performance that it became the easiest song to write to. It became this timeless piece.
WILLIAMS: I find it so funny when people say disco. It's not disco. It's not of that time. It was never meant to relate to an era. I'd say post-disco.
BANGALTER: It's something as simple as music that makes us feel good and makes people feel good. Nile made music in the '70s and the '80s that made people feel good. And it's us and Pharrell that make people feel good in the '90s and 2000s. That's four different decades. It feels like the four of us are teaming up and playing music for the fifth decade. At some point we can still recognize Nile's guitar, Pharrell's voice; but somehow it's a little bit of a different twist on it. And it has both that familiarity that feels like you've heard it before, and then there's something new, like music you could hear in 2014 that encapsulates those things. Trying to focus on happiness in a very essential way can become some kind of a bigger statement.
"Lose Yourself to Dance" is the second single, also featuring Pharrell. What is the statement of that song?

Genus of clawed theropod dinosaurs that flourished in western North America during the Early Cretaceous period (144–99 million years ago). Deinonychus walked and ran on two legs, yet its killing devices, large sickle-like talons 5 in. (13 cm) long on the second toe of each foot, required it to stand on one foot while slashing at its prey with the other. Its long, outstretched tail was enclosed in bundles of bony rods that grew out of the tail vertebrae, making it very rigid. About 8–13 ft (2.4–4 m) long and weighing 100–150 lbs (45–68 kg), it had a large brain and was evidently a fast, agile predator.

New Year, New Budget
Looking to tighten your belt in 2012? You can start by using coupons, searching for discounts or simply buying lower-cost versions of the items you typically purchase. But if you're looking for truly big savings, consider entirely cutting out the products and services you really don't need.
"There are lots of things that you can eliminate from your life altogether, and you can do it without sacrificing convenience and quality of living," Andrew Schrage, co-owner of Money Crashers Personal Finance, tells MainStreet.
Indeed, from those daily coffee shop runs to your landline phones, there are many items you can certainly live without this year if you're hoping to build up your savings.
Here are 12 things to consider cutting from your budget in 2012 so your new year isn't filled with new debt.

Hi all. I've been lurking around the myFICO Forums and CreditCardForum for about six months now and I just wanted to thank you all for the world of insight you've provided. Last January, I had no credit cards and four student loans. I didn't need it, but I got a $300 Wells Fargo Secured Visa just so I could "build credit". After I found these forums and learned the best techniques for building credit, I was inspired to pay my student loans aggressively and pump up my credit limit as much as possible. So I threw a ton of money into the secured visa card (an additional $9700), and payed one of my loans off in full. It took me a while to get here, but my credit score is now pretty decent and my utilization is always 1% at statement time.
Just today, about one year and ten days after my getting my first secured card with an annual fee, terrible rates, and just 1% cash back on all purchases, I applied for a US Bank Cash+ card in the branch (which I had been building a relationship with for two months through a checking account, as was suggested to me on these forums) and was accepted! With an $8000 limit!
I am ecstatic. Thank you all for your awesomeness.
To everybody just starting off or struggling to make it back, just stay in there and pay off as much as you can as quickly as you can.
Ah, thanks for the info. Maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit! Still, for me any limit is good as long as it's Cash+. Did you ever consider calling for some kind of reconsideration or increase of the limit?
congrats!! Now if I can just settle in until may rolls around .
TU 715 No apps to 05/13 cash+ 5/13!!! 738 TU CSP April 13!!!CSP approved May 13!!!
Just confirm it was the cash+ Auricom. I would assume you're pretty sure since you applied in branch, but they DO hand out the 1% cash rewards downgrade with credit lines over 5K now.

Yes, it's the Cash+. The banker told me that if I was denied the Cash+, I'd probably qualify for a lower card; however, when everything went through he said "yep! You got the Cash+!" and pointed at the card on the brochure.
As for the high credit limit as a newbie, here's my lesson learned: If you can stow away $10k in a year, do it and put it into a Wells Fargo Secured Visa! Banks try to match CL ranges made by other banks, so if I have $10k in one, the other bank will want to compete. Now, hopefully I'll get that $10k back soon so I can throw it at my student loans...

Lemont's Nichole McKevitt takes the ball from Waubonsie Valley's Sam Stricker. | John Patsch~For Sun-Times Media
high school
Article Extras
Updated: July 4, 2013 2:38AM
Looking to earn another Lemont Cup title, Waubonsie Valley was determined to put away the hosts early in Saturday's championship match.
"We just wanted to get as many goals as possible in the first half so we could get a lead and not have to press as much in the second half," the Warriors' Kristen Dodson said.
Dodson made sure her team accomplished that goal, scoring and adding an early assist as Waubonsie scored three times in the first 13 minutes and went on to a 3-1 win over Lemont.
Dodson got the Warriors (15-3-1) on the board five minutes in on their second consecutive corner kick as she headed home Jori Romano's cross.
"It's been awhile since I got a header for a goal," Dodson said, smiling. "It felt good to finally get one. It was a great ball from (Romano)."
Two minutes later, Dodson sent a ball into the box where Kristen Brots went up for it. Brots collided with Lemont goalie Kelly Fritz (9 saves) but was able to direct a header towards Tori Christiansen, who scored into the open net.
Brots got in on the scoring, finishing off a Dodson pass for a 3-0 lead with 22:08 left in the half.
The Indians (13-3-2), who made the championship game for the first time in the 10-year history of the tournament, played well the rest of the way but couldn't recover from the rough start.
"We gave up two goals on crosses that we should have handled better, then on the third goal I think we had a bit of a pity party," Lemont coach Rick Prangen said. "I couldn't be prouder of the girls that were out there in the second half, though. I thought they worked their socks off for us."
Lemont broke the shutout thanks to an own goal in the second half as the Indians' Kim Walsh struck a shot that was deflected in by a defender.
In the semifinals, the Warriors got goals from Jenna Romano and Paige Filipek to top Sandburg 2-0 while Lemont edged Hinsdale South 1-0, winning a shootout by a 4-3 count.
Fritz made two key saves in the shootout.
"My adrenaline was going so high," Fritz said. "I didn't even think about it. I just got kind of lucky."
Sandburg 2, Hinsdale South 0: Meghan Carmody and Morgan Manzke scored for Sandburg (12-5-3) in the third-place match. Hinsdale South fell to 7-9.
Andrew 1, Plainfield Central 1: Alicia Halikas scored for Andrew (11-4-1) as the consolation championship ended in a tie. Paige Fuller scored for Plainfield Central (7-11-2).
Lincoln-Way East 2, Plainfield South 1: Hanna Dawczak and Lindsey Murphy scored for Lincoln-Way East (8-8-1) in the seventh-place match. Kailyn Haski scored for Plainfield South (8-5-2).
Andrew 2, Lincoln-Way East 0: Alexis O'Neill and Nicole Novak had the goals for Andrew in the consolation semifinal.
Plainfield Central 1, Plainfield South 0: Haley McLain scored for Plainfield Central in the consolation semifinal.

I haven't been posting much lately because we have been remodling and...well, I just didn't have anything new to share. I've tried to keep up with all the posts, but there are so many that it is almost overwhelming. It is so exciting to see so many new garden junkers! Anyway, someone had shared this inspiration picture, which started me thinking.
My brain immediately thought of bowling balls. It took me a long time to collect 19 bowing balls. I finally got them all painted and placed. |

I would also add other small sizes of balls to complete the realistic look!!!! Does your white paint have irredesant-opalistic-opaque paint coating it? (I just made that paint concoction up but it would be a cool effect. lol) "ATTENTION SHERWIN WILLIAMS- WE NEED THE AFORMENTIONED PAINT FORMULATED FOR ALL OF US BUBBLE MAKERS". You did good!!!!!!

WOW...now that is something to behold. I've saved the photo to add to our Misc inspiration album. Collecting and painting 19 bowling balls was pretty darn ambitious of you. And certainly rewarding from the looks of the result. Way to go!! I love that old tub, and new paint job on it. hugs, Karen |

Wherdja go Shysue? That is GREAT!!! Did you fill the tub with soil first so you had something to plant the allysum in? Definitely inspirational! |
Thanks all of you for your kind words. It makes me think it was worth it. WHEW! Yes, the flowers are allysum. I thought they looked like tiny bubbles. LOL I had the tub already filled with dirt from last year. Even with the dirt, I still had to use 19 balls and it could probably really use a couple more. I got the BBs from yard sales, thrift stores, and from a bowling alley where I hounded the poor manager for old balls until he finally gave me enough to finish it. This is what the tub looked like in previous years. I got tired of trying to fill it up with flowers. |

dang and I passed up a claw foot tub, cuz it was too heavy for inside the bathroom. I wasn't thinking in terms of out in the yard! fabulous...I'd thought of regular tubs for plants but nixed it, cuz they're too plain but this is top drawer cool! it's also worthy of a "set as background" on the computer screen. |

Add a little romance by adding solar lights around it to look like candle light. There isn't anything more relaxing than a bubble bath by candle light!!! |
What an adorable idea!! This place has the most talented people~~the ideas just keep coming. Your tub was great with just the floowers, too. Thank you for sharing. JLily |
Oh my goodness! As soon as I saw the pic I told my husband, "Wow! This person is a real go-getter!!!". I love it!!!! I'm completely amazed the tub feet aren't sinking into the ground. The weight of the tub alone seems like it would sink them, but add 19 bowling balls and WOW LOL :o) Love it!!! Great job! |
Thanks everybody! I haven't been over here in a long time. I just thought I would pop in and see what all I've missed, and saw that this bubbles post was back up. Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. I am always looking for ideas to improve things. I like the idea of adding smaller balls for a more realistic look. I keep expecting the tub to sink into the ground all the way to China with all the weight that is in it. If anyone does get a tub, please post a picture of what you do with it. |
OK, my jaw LITERALLY dropped!! That is stunning. LOVE IT!! And DANG, look at the cute yellow ball in the lower left with the daisies made from metal pull tabs (is that the right word?) and half-round marbles. TOO CUTE!! |
what a huge dose of whimsy in the garden.. so cute!! |

How do I introduce this game to my board gaming group? The game seems pretty 50/50 on if someone loves it or hates it, and I would like the most out of my investment if I purchase this. I know I will enjoy it, but I am afraid there is a ring of truth to the game's criticisms for first time play, and I do not want to buy a game that doesn't get played because the first time was too difficult or unbalanced.
Most hostility seems to be how the first game goes due to complexity, length, and dark cards combined with those two for a volatile mix. I have read one suggestion that dark cards should be read before playing but that sounds like it ruins the mystery of the game play, especially first time. The strategy card offered to each player seems like it would suggest to a new player how to avoid those dark cards. Is this true?
To avoid the length dilemma, I will be playing the first game two player with someone who I do know has been wanting to play it (heard this game by several reviews has no dilemma being played 2 player). After that, I believe I will slowly introduce the game to the three player mark until I know who loves it or hates it and manage when and where to bring and set up a game or not pending on those opinions.
Is there any more suggestions on how I can introduce properly this game to friends for the best gaming experience?

NOPD Task Force update 1
Date: Sat, Mar. 20, 2010
The search for a New Orleans Police Department Superintendent is well underway. The overarching goal is to find 3-4 extremely well-qualified candidates for chief, from whom Mayor-Elect Mitch Landrieu will make a final appointment. SilenceIsViolence is proud to participate in this important project.
To date, the Task Force has received input from current law enforcement and criminal justice members; from external consultants with experience researching and matching successful law-enforcement managers to cities who need them; and from those most impacted by the successes and failures of the NOPD: New Orleans residents and community members. Together, this input is being compiled into a profile for the police chief who will lead New Orleans to a new standard in public safety for every citizen.
Creating a Profile for the New Orleans Police Department Superintendent: The voices coming together to create the profile of the next chief.
Public input: Public input has been collected during the NOPD Task Force's first public meeting on March 11, and through nearly 1,000 public surveys submitted since March 5. In addition, Task Force members continue to solicit and receive ideas, concerns, and suggestions regarding what the community wants in a police chief.
Law enforcement input: Task Force members Danatus King, Barbara Major, Patricia Jones, Ralph Capitelli, and Darlene Cusanza have reached out personally to New Orleans law enforcement officers, organizations, and unions. NOPD administrative and managerial strengths and weaknesses are being examined through these ongoing conversations.
Task Force input: The experts and community leaders who make up the NOPD Task Force continue to guide the process while representing all New Orleanians.
The Profile: Characteristics of the next Police Chief.
This Profile is still being formulated. Based on public input to date, New Orleanians are primarily interested in a Chief ready to take on corruption; address the issue of race head on; work with citizens; communicate; and instill the NOPD with professionalism, transparency and real accountability. In particular, the following characteristics and priorities have arisen repeatedly in surveys and comments:
Experience in cities with high levels of violence.
Specific strategies for dealing with repeat offenders.
Experience in community policing.
A plan for how community policing will work in communities with different socio-economic and population density realities.
Specific strategies for working with social aid and pleasure clubs, Mardi Gras Indians, and other New Orleans cultural traditions.
Dedication to constructive interactions between police officers and citizens, including: police out of cars, participating in neighborhood clean-ups, and other community-building events.
Dedication to youth intervention and alternatives to incarceration.
Proven strong leadership skills.
Experience leading a large, diverse police force.
Experience collaborating effectively with other criminal justice agencies (district attorneys and public defenders, judges, federal agents).
A plan for advancing technological systems, both for the sake of criminal justice processes and for public information.
Experience in intervention and prevention.
· Dedication to professionalism and discipline.
· Willingness to conduct evaluations of existing officers.
Understanding of the unique cultural, social, and demographic realities of New Orleans, and their implications for public safety.
No history of corruption or brutality charges.
Open to public oversight; willing to work with the Independent Police Monitor.
The role of technical advisors: Resources for the NOPD Task Force.
International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP): The Task Force has engaged the International Association of Chiefs of Police to assist in identifying, recruiting, and assessing candidates. The IACP is recognized as setting the standard for thorough, probing, and successful searches. Based on the input provided by the public, current law enforcement officers and organizations, and NOPD Task Force members, the IACP is helping to finalize the profile of the next police chief and to post the announcement for the job. In addition, the IACP will assist the Task Force to reach a list of finalists by compiling lists of candidates and making recommendations for interviews and visits.
Additional advisors: The following organizations and individuals with specialized insight into our search process and/or the New Orleans Police Department are available to the Task Force for advice:
National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE); Police Executive Research Forum (PERF); Chief Bill Bratton (formerly of Los Angeles and New York City); Lee Brown (former Mayor and Police Chief of Houston); Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly (NYC Police Department); Chief Richard Pennington (formerly of New Orleans and Atlanta); Bob Stellingworth (former President of New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation); Col. Henry Whitehorn (Police Chief of Shreveport).
As Mayor-Elect Landrieu has attested, there is no more critical decision he must make than the appointment of a qualified police chief. All of our voices are important to this decision, so please continue to send your perspectives and ideas over the coming weeks. SilenceIsViolence will be posting weekly updates through the remainder of the search. Visit www.transitionneworleans.com for more information on Mayor-Elect Landrieu's transition.

The WTB website claims the weight of the Team saddle to be 215g. You guys have it at 250g. Is this an older model or something?
Mike Nelson
HI Mister Augie,
Our weight may be out-of-date or incorrect. The saddles we have in stock arrived in our warehouse summer of 2014. They should comform to WTB's current specification.
How thick are rails?
How thick are rails?

I use the Silverados on every bike, no matter the style or application. They are durable, light, fit great, and age well.
Brian Bernard
(Black) Gold Standard
This saddle makes mountain biking awesome. It supports well, it's tough as nails, and it's comfortable on long rides. That's all anyone wants out of a saddle. It's damn near perfect.
Scott Pendleton
Great XC Saddle for Narrow Butts
I love this saddle. It's firm and it supports my sitbones without touching anything else. It's firm, it supports. It's really, really light, and the flattish shape is good for mtbing, allowing me to hover up toward the nose on climbs and drop off the back on descents.
It may be too firm for some. Also, my sitbones are pretty narrow and this saddle is about as narrow as it can be for me. Anyone with widely space sitbones should probably look at something else.
Christian Koblitz
WTB Silverado Team Saddle
I have two of these, one on my DH bike and another on my AM bike. Saddle is very comfortable for me but may not be for others. Every arse is different, probably not the best saddle for weekend warriors. Not sure about durability yet but everything seems good so far.

Sarasota, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Baltimore Orioles signed pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez to a four-year contract on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old is coming off a strong rebound season, posting a 13-9 record and a 3.30 earned run average over 32 starts with the Indians and striking out 194 batters in 182 2/3 innings.
Jimenez finished third in the National League Cy Young Award voting in 2010 after amassing a 19-8 record with a 2.88 ERA with the Colorado Rockies, but went just 19-30 with a 5.03 ERA over the next two seasons prior to last year's bounce-back campaign. He led the majors with 17 losses in 2012.
Over eight major league seasons with Colorado and Cleveland, the Dominican right-hander has gone 82-75 with a 3.92 ERA.

text: 'Lauschen' is a live recording of an immaculate performance from one of electronic music's very own giants, Hans-Joachim Roedelius. It was recorded at the CTM-Zodiak Festival in Berlin in February 2012. These nine parts of a minimal electronic soundscape were performed by Roedelius, Onnen Block and Armin Metz.In a natural development of sound, these serene beauties appear like snowdrops do on a flat bedding. They are cold, but not cold in a distant inhumane way. These clear and calming compositions gently evoke contemplation. Listening to 'Lauschen' must be followed by a substantial silence, to fully grasp the monumental evenness. And when the album is ebbing away from your short memory, you may like I did return to 'Lauschen'. This live recording does render what Qluster performed, without any gossip or glitter. It is glitchless glory in the most moderate manner possible. Track Listing

I was hugely disappointed with Tropic Thunder in the summer. I had built the damn film up to be the best thing since sliced bread after having seen the trailer for it before watching The Dark Knight. Then came all the complaints over Ben Stiller portraying a retard and not being one to care much about political correctness, that made me want to like the movies even more.
And then I actually went to see Tropic Thunder and realized I'd seen all the best bits in the trailer. It was still a mildly entertaining 90 minutes of cinema but apart from Robert Downey Jr. (who was absolutely exquisite in his role as Kirk Lazarus) it all felt a little hackneyed, overdone, and dull.
I was obviously in the minority in thinking this way though because there has been intense speculation surrounding a possible Tropic Thunder 2. There is clearly some fan demand for it as well as a willingness from the cast to regroup and make a new one. But Robert Downey Jr. doesn't seem too keen and has dismissed the rumors that a sequel is being planned. He told Extra:
"I have a feeling that we'd still make some money but it probably wouldn't be as good."
Not as good as the first? That would be pretty terrible then. But as Downey Jr. rightly points out, it would likely make a ton of money into the bargain so I'm sure Ben Stiller is at least considering the possibility. Personally I think they should leave it well alone. It's brought Downey Jr. back into the mainstream and made Tom Cruise look less like a douchebag. That's good enough.

This square cigar burns unevenly to a extent that is really upsetting . It has a very depressing Ash color and taste when you remember how much you paid for it and how many you have left over. It has butchered its name.

How would I go about doing this? I found someone a few hours away who has grape vines in their greenhouse and is willing to give me a clipping from pruning. When is the best time to get a clipping when trying to start a new plant? I'm planning to start on in my own green house, but to start it will be in a pot in the house until we can finish building the greenhouse next spring. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Get the canes when your friend prunes, preferably in late spring before growth begins. Keep them damp not wet until you callus them. You either need to wait until it warms up outdoors or maintain 70+F soil temperature during callusing and rooting. |

I am the lazyest person in the world. So gramp said. The day after 99% of the snow is gone I do yard cleanup on my rental houses. part of that is pruning back the grape vines. when I get home and throw the stuf on the burn pile I cut a few and stick them into last years compost pile. When it is time to work the compost into the garden I transplant the ones that look good anywhere between the pile and the garden. I have about a 50% grow rate. Now I am trying to figure out how to have them dry to raisins before I pick them. so I can pick into a vacume seal bag and just put them into the pantry. |
I got some clipping as the buds started to swell (so later then normal) and stuck them in pots, all grew. |

Grapes are easy from cuttings. In SoCal I can take them anytime after the leaves have dropped, but colder climates maybe better to wait for spring? Cuttings should include at least 4 'nodes', and you will bury 2 of the nodes. Stick them in the ground, compost pile, pot or a thick bag of potting soil. Water them sometimes. Your friend will have plenty, because they are normally pruned aggressively. Just because they have new leaves, doesn't mean they have a good root system and are ready to transplant. Probably easiest just to take several and stick 'em in the ground where you want them. Cull the weaker ones as 1 or 2 show themselves to be stronger. |
