Chain-link is excellent for many applications, but thanks to its institutional look, it's probably the last thing you'd want surrounding your front yard. While options such as plastic privacy slats and cute little finials can help, it's still just putting perfume on a pig. A fence with conventional wood posts will have a much warmer look, and can be finished with wire mesh, planks, lattice, or any number of interesting materials.

Customer Review Summary for Battery/USB Powered Water Drop Portable Speaker | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
July 2, 2012 | cordless speaker |
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
Review by
Steve from Wichita, KS
The water drop design is a very clever innovation. The speaker enclosed is a good quality sound device. I use it on my laptop when watching videos and feature films. As I have no requirement for silence where I do my computing, but desk top area is limited. The two and five eights inch base works out great.
I have only one complaint. It seems to use up AA batteries rather quickly.

Here's another update! I'm proud to announce that I have taken Pondaholics Anonymous one step further up the ladder. I now have the domain of Pondaholics.org for the club website. It isn't up yet, so don't everyone go rushing to it. The site should be up this week but no later than next Sunday. It cost me $4.95 for a year to register the domain and I got free web hosting to go with it. I did this when I was designing new business cards for the club and typed the link in for the club page. It was embarrassing how much room it took. Also, this will allow me to place the club on the WGI's website. I'm tickled silly about this. :o) G'day, |
Congrats Scott! |
You know you've made it in the world when you have your own domain. :D One day in the not-too-far future, when PondSmaninfl is famous for his...well, ponds in FL...we will all remember this as the turning point in his aquatic business venture/dream.

Which I did for you and Chicka. You will still not be able to get into the club member's area due to the fact that it is reserved for local club members. G'day, |
Scott, you may also want to consider adding the link to your website to your GW page. You might be surprised how many people click on it from time to time. Just another way of advertising the site and getting more traffic. |

DENR conducts census at CCPL
-A A +ASaturday, October 22, 2011
EIGHT years after the Central Cebu Protected Landscape was established, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR 7) formed a team that will conduct a census and registration of occupants in 22 barangays within the protected area.
The team is composed of representatives of local government units, nongovernment organizations and technical personnel from the Protected Areas, Wildlife and Coastal Zone Management Services.
"The activity is undertaken to provide the DENR with basic data as basis for establishing management zones and buffer zones, and for the preparation of programs, including the identification of alternative livelihood opportunities," said DENR 7 Regional Executive Director Maximo Dichoso.
The census, which has a budget of P442,000, includes detailed demographic studies, assessment of socio-economic conditions and validation of proofs of occupancy.
CCPL was established through a Presidential Proclamation 441, issued by the President Arroyo in August 2003. It has a total area of more than 28,000 hectares, covering the watersheds of Buhisan, Mananga and Kotkot-Lusaran, and the national parks of Sudlon and Central Cebu, which are located in the cities of Cebu, Talisay, Toledo and Danao, and in the municipalities of Minglanilla, Consolacion, Liloan, Compostela and Balamban.
"Our objectives are to determine and attest to the actual number of occupants within the protected areas, establish the exact location and approximate size of homelots or farmlots, and check the period of occupancy over certain portions," said Dichoso.
"We will be issuing an official list of tenured migrants, which is not a tenurial instrument that would grant security of tenure over the areas being occupied," he added.
Meanwhile, the DENR filed a criminal complaint before the Office of the Prosecutor in Cebu City against Richard and Jonard Obod, residents of Barangay Sudlon II in Cebu City, for allegedly cutting trees inside the CCPL.
The complaint is based on the joint affidavit of Protected Area Superintendent Ariel Rica, Cristituto Ruaza of Kantipla Ecosytem Enhancement and Protection Foundation and Danilo Villaban.

Budgeting seems time consuming. Besides, as long as you only allow yourself to have that morning mocha once or twice a week, you should be fineright?
Not necessarily.
Budgeting isnt just about making sure you can afford to pay your bills every month. Its also about being able to plan and save for your future goals. If you budgeted properly, maybe instead of that mocha on the way to class you could pay off that credit card!

Perhaps not, but replace "business" with "prosperity" and see if you're persuaded.

Claire, I like a natutral look and on the one hand I agree with you. But on the other hand this just shows me how insignificant nature sees us.......despite our efforts, the trees happily go about their business of living and growing. Bill |

I'm with you, Claire, these are just a little .. creepy. But if I could grow a chair like that, out of a "junk tree" perhaps, I'd do it. |
I agree with Claire. Well stated: "affront to the basic nature of a tree". |

While I dislike "ordinary" pruning of any tree or shrub, and prefer the graceful look of untrimmed natural foliage, I sort of like that tree chair. It looks like an elvish furnishing straight out of Tolkien. Thanks for posting the photo, digging, because I would not otherwise have seen it. I never open a link unless it is accompanied by a text excerpt or explanation of some kind or a photo from the site. It took a very short time (relatively speaking) for that tree to transform into a chair. I shall have to peruse the instructions... |

Well it looks like the instructions for making the living chair will only be revealed in detail in the website owners' book, awaiting publication. I do agree that the human figures molded from trunks of living trees are indeed creepy! I really like only the chair! Perhaps two trees could be molded into an arbor/entranceway. That might be something else I would like the look of. |
At the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, in the Sculpture Park - some artist planted a row of trees, but as they grow, he is somehow molding the trees together to make a fence/banister. Apparently the National Endowment for the Arts think that manipulating trees is worthwhile as they are funding this installation. |

george, thank you SO MUCH for linking to that! how extraordinary. I'm definitely going to those cal places when we next return there and i'm so excited! pixie, i am so disappointyed with the NEA for granting this piece. how deadly boring (unless I'm missing something). why couldn't he really achieve something and create an arched passage or room or............. best, |
Thanks, George! I think there should be a few trees of that sort in the world just to confound the mind. I happen to prefer the tree people to the chair. |
I can't believe it. When I saw the first trees on this thread, I thought of Gilroy Gardens in California. I went there last year with family who live in San Jose/Silicon Valley. Someone moved the artist's trees to this very attractive spot and opened a small amusement park for small children--seven and under. Aside from the curiosities under discussion here, the plantings are quite lovely and the amusement park is just perfect for the little people, of whom we now have lots in our family. So many of us have family in Silicon Valley that you might want to add Gilroy Gardens to your itinerary next time you're out there. The artist's daughter was there signing her account of the trees' creation when I was there last fall. Must add that tho the trees are an amazing sight, I agree with those who prefer their trees au naturel. PS--Gilroy is also the self-billed Garlic Capital of the World and has a garlic festival every summer. What more reason do you need? |
Ginny, 'au naturel', as requested :-) Cut and paste http://www.websad.ru/fpic.php?pic=98876 http://www.websad.ru/fpic.php?pic=98875 |

LOL, EGO. On a different but somewhat related topic...maybe I've mentioned this before, but there's an artist with an installation at the Brooklyn BG that I'd really love to see. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Patrick Dougherty article, NYT
I've never thought of myself as much of a prude, but now that I have a small child I find myself becoming prudish by the minute. When I look at that first link that ego45 posted, all I can think is how I would explain that to my 6 year old. I just don't get why someone would find it necessary to do something like that. |
- Posted by diggingthedirt CapeCod Z7? (My Page) on Thu, Nov 18, 10 at 16:53
Why would you feel that it was necessary to explain anything about that tree/image to a 6 year old? |

My goodness! That's quite allot of books. I rather doubt that they will get $5 per book plus $1.50 for mailing each one! I recognized many of them, and have several of the same titles. With the exception of the Christmas and floral ones, many are sort of "dated" now as are allot of my own. That's not to say that I wouldn't enjoy browsing through the majority of them, and I'm sure I'd find myself saying "Isn't this cute?" or "I'd like to paint this one." etc. LOL Thanks for sharing that site Anj. Luvs |
I know the price is kinda steep for older books, and $1500 for all! Did you see that? I was just sharing in case there is an out of print one someone has been looking for in the bunch. Wouldn't you love to browse thru them though??? Think of the hours of fun! ha We are nuts. hahaha ~Anj |
Thanks for all the great sites everyone. Wish I had more time to browse through them. I painted some ladybug bowling balls a few weeks ago and will try to get some pictures and share. Does anyone remember who had painted the bowing balls like ladybugs here on this forum? I'd like to give her credit for her fun project she shared with all of us. |

Hi Phonegirl, the ladybug bowling balls came from the Garden Junk forum. I think Craftylady had posted an inspiration pic, and then some of the ladies there actually made some. Can't wait to see your pics and details on how you painted it--I've got a black bowling ball just waiting to be decorated. Luvs |

As far as Opening Days go, the third such iteration for the 2012 season just might take. Sure, it isn't the traditional wall-to-wall orgy of good vibes and first pitches but what yesterday lacked in comprehensiveness it made up for it with greatness.
If you like pitching, yesterday was your day. If you like drama, you were in the right place indeed.
Turns out most of these guys getting Opening Day nods for reason, don't they? Justin Verlander and Roy Halladay vied for the non-binding Best Pitcher in Baseball title, each man tossing eight electric, shutout innings before giving way to expensive closers. At that point, their fates diverged.
Young contender to the BPiBB throne Clayton Kershaw only lasted three innings due to sickness, though it is something of a miracle he lasted that long.
Vin "the Dodgers begged Kershaw not to go out and pitch."
— Mike Petriello (@mike_petriello) April 5, 2012
Tommy Hanson and Johan Santana looked great/good enough in their season debuts after long injury layoffs, while the Marlins lost again. Cameron Maybin and Matt Kemp showed center field in the NL West is home to a lot of talent, just as the ballparks of that division are pretty cool places to hang out, I think.
It was even Strasmas! A great day, really.
All of this went down in the "shadow" of the longest Opening Day game in baseball history. It wasn't the prettiest game in history — thanks to the near-frigid temperatures — but Justin Masterson put on a show while Jose Bautista proved that he is indeed quite good. Edwin Encarnacion briefly returned to "E5″ form and the freshly rebuilt Blue Jays bullpen shut the door and kept it firmly shut for eleven innings. There was nearly a brawl! Something for everyone.
It all happens again today, with more great pitchers and more pomp and more circumstance. It isn't really Opening Day in the macro sense but after a great day of drama, we can't ask for much more than more great baseball.
It is back – baseball is here and it is a glorious thing. Drink it in, the dog days are just around the corner.

Welcome to the website of the European MD/PhD Network.
The European MD/PhD Network aims to bring together students across Europe who are performing full-time scientific research in the context of a Doctorate in Philosophy (PhD) before, during or immediately after their medical training. The European MD/PhD Network was established following the first European MD/PhD Conference in 2012 at University College, London (UCL). The second European MD/PhD Conference held in Paris further developed of a platform for European MD/PhD students to present data and share experiences, to promote the benefits of combining scientific research and medical training early on in your career and to improve awareness of MD/PhD programs amongst health professionals across Europe. The organising of a European MD/PhD Conference will be an annual event. The conference will be held in Switzerland in 2014.
The European MD/PhD Network is currently organised as follows:
1. A national organising committee consisting of appointed national representatives of European countries that have MD/PhD programs
2. A local organising committee based in the city where the European MD/PhD conference is to be held.
National representatives will represent the interest of MD/PhD students in their country and their contact details are listed in the contact page should you wish to get in touch with them. If you are an MD/PhD student and no national representative from the country where you study is listed, please contact us.
The yellow star in the European MD/PhD logo represents our spatial relationship with Europe. Furthermore, the triangles represent European local participators, while the lines of the triangles stand for the connections between all European places and MD/PhD students. All triangles together form a globe, which represents the coherence of the European MDPhD network. Only through all these connections are we able form the network that we currently are.

Moctezuma's first came to life in 1978, when Arturo Garcia decided to share his culture, love of cooking, and knowledge of the correct spelling of "Montezuma" with Northwest diners. To this day, diners can expect excellent service and a tasty menu of authentic, home-style Mexican cuisine prepared from the finest ingredients. Focus the palate with some fiesta queso dip ($5.99) or some chorizo bean dip ($5.99), then use your mouth mowers to shred a carne-asada salad ($11.99) with homemade chipotle-ranch dressing. Discriminating diners can find out what it takes to win Weekly Volcano's brutal, no-holds-barred Tournament of Tacos by trying a serving of Mexico City tacos ($12.99) stuffed with carne asada, marinated chicken, or pork carnitas. Final Fantasy fans, meanwhile, will get a kick out of watching the waiter cast Firaga on a plate of steak, chicken, or shrimp fajitas ($16.49) using a little gold tequila and a flamethrower. And if a cheddar-, guacamole-, and sour-cream-topped chimichanga ($11.99) doesn't make one sufficiently nostalgic for one's former life as a mermaid, enjoy a plate of camarones a la diabla ($14.99) with rice and sautéed vegetables, or happily consume a Cabo shrimp cocktail ($12.99) and then wash away the evidence with a refreshing Jalapeño Margarita, with house-made jalapeño-infused tequila, triple sec and fresh-squeezed citrus juices, hand-shaken and served in a 20 oz. shaker ($7.95).
Chevys serves up Mexican fare in Texas-sized portions, with salsa and tortillas made from scratch daily. Begin by ordering a bowl of guacamole to witness a server capture, skin, and gut a live avocado right at your table before hand-mashing it into fresh guacamole. From there, let your taste buds tango across tender tamales of real masa (wrapped by hand each morning), or play mad scientist and suture together an electrified monster plate from enchiladas, tacos, tamales, flautas, and chile rellenos ($11.99 for any two, $13.29 for any three, $14.49 for any four). Seafarers, meanwhile, will want to try the seafood enchilada ($13.69)—a mélange of shrimp and blue crab sautéed in white wine and garlic that's folded into corn tortillas with veggies and Jack cheese, then topped with spicy habanero-pesto cream sauce. To keep the hot peppers and piquant salsas from singing the sinuses, douse your mouth-flames periodically with a prickly pear or blue agave margarita ($6.95) mixed with top-shelf plata, reposado, or añejo tequila.
Since Frank Tonkin Sr. opened his first Taco Time in 1962, each location has hand-chopped its own vegetables and concocted pots of fresh-cooked pinto beans every morning. Try the classic beef crisp burrito ($2.79) or its meat-free cousin, the veggie soft taco ($4.69), with a side of spherical, seasoned Mexi-fries ($1.69 for a regular). Watch your figure through southwest chop-salad-colored glasses, with black bean and corn salsa, pico de gallo, and mixed veggies ($5.59). Or opt for a cup of white chicken chili, another of many healthy options at just 139 calories ($1.99).

Back in February, in his annual letter to investors, Berkshire Hathaway chief Warren Buffett spent a good bit of time discussing why one shouldn't own gold. Beyond the fact that, according to WB, gold doesn't "change in size and [is] incapable of producing anything," and you'd be much better off buying farmland (which "a century from now will have produced staggering amounts of corn, wheat, cotton and other crops and will continue to produce that valuable bounty") or shares of Exxon Mobil (which "will probably have delivered trillions of dollars in dividends to its owners"), the Oracle of Omaha had one incontrovertible, be all end all reason for eschewing the metal: its unfuckability. Oh sure, you can do things to a cube, you can fondle it, you can talk dirty to it, you can send nude pictures of yourself, you can even drill a hole in it and fuck it senseless, but, the thing is, the cube will not respond. No reciprocation, no gratitude, not even a sign it enjoyed itself. For Buffett, no further argument was necessary as to the worthlessness of the commodity. (Silver, on the other hand, will make you feel like you're 18 again.) Anyway, David Einhorn sort of feels the same way about the dollar. Read more »

Warren Buffett And David Einhorn Are In Agreement Re: The Frigidity Of Their Disfavored Investment Ideas
By Bess LevinIf You Must Know, Nassim Taleb Is Actually Kind Of Looking Forward To The Break Up Of The Euro
By Bess LevinNassim Taleb, author of "The Black Swan," said he favors investing in Europe over the U.S. even with the possible breakup of the single European currency in part because of the euro area's superior deficit situation. Europe's lack of a centralized government is another reason it's preferable to invest in the region, said Taleb, a professor of risk engineering at New York University whose 2007 best- selling book argued that history is littered with rare events that can't be predicted by trends. A breakup of the euro "is not a big deal," Taleb said yesterday at an event in Montreal hosted by the Alternative Investment Management Association. "When they break it up, there will be a lot of fun currencies. This is why I am not afraid of Europe, or investing in Europe. I'm afraid of the United States." [Bloomberg]
Update: NNT says he's not looking forward to a Euro break up at all actually, and that a "tawdry" Bloomberg reporter took his words out of context.
Anger Over Christine Lagarde's Tax-Free Salary (Independent)
Lagarde was accused of hypocrisy yesterday after it emerged that she pays no income tax – just days after blaming the Greeks for causing their financial peril by dodging their own bills. The managing director of the International Monetary Fund is paid a salary of $467,940 (£298,675), automatically increased every year according to inflation. On top of that she receives an allowance of $83,760 – payable without "justification" – and additional expenses for entertainment, making her total package worth more than the amount received by US President Barack Obama according to reports last night. Unlike Mr Obama, however, she does not have to pay any tax on this substantial income because of her diplomatic status.
EU Proposes 'Banking Union' (WSJ)
The 17 countries that use the euro should consider setting up a "banking union" that allows them to share the burden of bank failures, the European Union's executive arm said Wednesday in a report on the currency union's crisis-fighting efforts. To further stop expensive bank bailouts from pulling down governments' own finances, allowing the euro zone's new rescue fund to directly boost the capital of banks "might be envisaged," the European Commission said.
Greeks Flock To Germany Even As They Criticize It (CNBC)
Germany, Europe's economic powerhouse and a country which has been criticized by many Greeks over its harsh demands for austerity cuts in return for bailout cash, has experienced an influx of young skilled immigrants. Der Spiegel magazine noted that while Greek newspapers "printed cartoons depicting the Germans as Nazis, concentration camp guards and euro zone imperialists who allow their debtors to bleed to death," the Greeks have kept arriving — bringing an "anything is better than Athens" attitude with them.
Pissarides Says Euro Exit Would Aid Rich Greeks At Cost To Poor (Bloomberg)
Nobel economics laureate Christopher Pissarides said wealthy Greeks would benefit at the expense of poorer citizens were the country to exit the euro. "A lot of Greeks" have withdrawn money and deposited it with banks elswhere in the 17-nation currency zone, Pissarides said in an interview in London today. If the country returned to the drachma, the new currency would be so devalued they could buy it cheaply on international markets with the cash they'd exported, enabling them to buy more assets in Greece. While poorer Greeks are equally able to appreciate the difficulties facing their country, they're not as able to shield their funds from an exit from the common currency, Pissarides said. They need to preserve quick access to their savings, which isn't as easy to do if it's held at a foreign bank, and such lenders may not always accept small deposits.
Zuckerberg Drops Off Billionaires Index As Facebook Falls (Bloomberg)

Woman's Boyfriend Took Car Without Permission Before She Slammed It Into House (NYP, earlier)
Dan Sajewski, 23, arrived at his family's Huntington estate last weekend with Anderson, 21, his on-again, off-again waitress girlfriend. While his parents vacationed on Long Island's North Fork, the duo helped themselves to his mother's 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320, a birthday gift from Sajewski's anesthesiologist father, a source said. They took a joyride to the Hamptons, where they had a little too much fun. A field Breathalyzer test revealed that Sophia Anderson drove home with a .30 Blood-Alcohol Content — nearly four times the legal limit and the equivalent of about 15 drinks, prosecutors said at her arraignment yesterday. They drove back to Huntington and she was speeding along Southdown Road when she failed to turn at a T-instersection — ramming through the front of Indiere's house, obliterating her kitchen, and exiting through the back wall, prosecutors said. "We can't believe he just let this girl drive a car he wasn't even supposed to have in the first place," a Sajewski family member said. The relative added that Sajewski didn't call his father about the accident until two hours later. In the police report, Anderson told cops "her power steering got stuck, causing her to crash," and that she only drank "three beers." Read more »

Christine Kenney, a triathlete who works the equity capital markets execution desk at Citigroup (C) in Manhattan, starts every morning at work with a bowl of low-fat yogurt, honey, and a heap of chia seeds. Throughout the day she subsists on chia snack bars. "It's better for my job because I'm not supposed to be off the desk very much," she says, noting how she's gotten most of the co-workers from her desk hooked on the seeds. "There's other seeds out there that are nutritious, but this is the best. It's the alpha seed." Among Wall Street's trading desks and bullpens, chia seeds are becoming the stimulant of choice. Healthier than coffee, cheaper (and obviously more legal) than cocaine, and less juvenile than a 5-hour Energy drink, chia has undergone a total metamorphosis from 1980s punchline (Chia Pet's "ch-ch-ch-chia" jingle still haunts Gen Xers) to superfood.

JPMorgan Has A Lot Of Great Things Going On This Quarter Other Than, Y'Know
By Matt LevineWhen the London Whale thing came out, JPMorgan made one sort of clever attempt to minimize it by saying this:
Since March 31, 2012, CIO has had significant mark-to-market losses in its synthetic credit portfolio, and this portfolio has proven to be riskier, more volatile and less effective as an economic hedge than the Firm previously believed. The losses in CIO's synthetic credit portfolio have been partially offset by realized gains from sales, predominantly of credit-related positions, in CIO's AFS [available-for-sale] securities portfolio. As of March 31, 2012, the value of CIO's total AFS securities portfolio exceeded its cost by approximately $8 billion. Since then, this portfolio (inclusive of the realized gains in the second quarter to date) has appreciated in value.
What did this mean? Well, I think it roughly meant what it said, which is that as if March 31, JPMorgan's Chief Investment Office had about $375bn worth of bonds for which it had paid about $367bn, and that after March 31 (1) that portfolio of bonds increased in value to at least $375,000,000,001 and (2) JPMorgan had sold at least some of those bonds at a profit. But one nice thing about it is that, if you squinted, you could read it as "our hedge decreased in value, yes (and by $2bn), but that's because the underlying portfolio increased in value (by $8bn), so net-net we're way ahead, and it was a hedge, and whaddarya gonna do, hedges go down when things-hedged go up, that's life." That turned out to be an entirely wrong reading but hey they tried!
Reuters moved that story forward a bit with this kind of interesting parsing of Jamie Dimon's words, including particularly the statement that JPMorgan had realized $1bn of gains on the CIO portfolio of available-for-sale securities between the end of the first quarter and the beginning of that super-awkward whale-confession conference call.

Planning to knock off work early every evening from now through Labor Day and/or take the edge off life with some adult beverages during lunch because it's summer and you deserve it? Want to have "fun" but not do anything "crazy"?

Google Wave's Massive Potential for Business Users. Howard Greenstein is a Social Media Strategy and Marketing consultant, and President of the Harbrooke Group.
He's also a national board member of Social Media Club. Google Wave is an innovative new way for people to communicate and collaborate. But as Gina Tripani, author of The Complete Guide To Google Wave, noted in her recent keynote at the recent Web 2.0 Expo in New York, Wave is designed for power users. Wave France - Tout sur Google Wave. Wavera bien qui wavera le dernier.
4 Surprising Google Wave Uses. Now that Google Wave has opened up to one million users and there are countless unused invites floating around, just about anyone who wants to take Google's new collaboration tool for a spin can do so.
Sure, some users are disappointed with the platform, but if you're among them you'll have to admit that whether it's going to catch on or not, it's been used for some neat stuff. Four uses in particular have stood out for their cleverness and high fun factor, and you probably didn't see any of them coming. Extensions List (Google Wave Extensions List) Google Wave Introduces Read-Only Wave Access.
In its current state Google Wave is decidedly not ready for the masses, but two just-launched features — read-only participants and restore from playback — will certainly make it more appealing to business users.
Should you create a wave, you can now grant either full access or read-only access to participants you invite to join. You can make the change by clicking on the user's avatar at the top of the wave panel and using the drop-down menu to adjust his read/write status. Thankfully read-only privileges extend to groups, which means you can now finally make a public wave read-only as well. Google Wave - Communicate and collaborate in real time. As we announced in August 2010, we are not continuing active development of Google Wave as a stand-alone product.
Google Wave will be shut down in April 2012. This page details the implication of the turn down process for Google Wave. 5 Ways to Use Google Wave for Business. Sharlyn Lauby is the president of Internal Talent Management (ITM) which specializes in employee training and human resources consulting.
She authors a blog at hrbartender.com. Remember Google Wave? Clearly, Google Buzz has recently overshadowed Google's other hotly anticipated social communication platform, but before you ditch your Wave account, give it a second try. There are many useful business applications for Wave, especially in situations that call for collaboration with a group or managing a project. Wave can easily allow users to dispense with the formalities (and expenses) of meetings, phone calls, travel, etc. and instead make it easy to collaborate across time and space.
How To Use Google Wave for Live Blogging. Last month we wrote a short post about using Google Wave for live blogging.
Today, during Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook privacy press conference, we decided to put this theory into practice and live blogged the event with Wave. The reaction to our experiment was overwhelmingly positive, so we decided to share how we it up for our live blogging session today. How It's Done It's surprisingly easy.

Other than a texture that's slightly less creamy, this daytime moisturizer with sunscreen is nearly identical to BeautiControl's BC Spa Facial Defend & Restore Moisture Creme SPF 20. As such, the same review applies: This fragrance-free daytime moisturizer with a pure titanium dioxide sunscreen provides gentle, broad-spectrum protection in a creamy, antioxidant-rich base that's excellent for normal, dry, or sensitive skin. (Despite the "lotion" part of the name, this is too emollient for oily skin.) True to claim, this does indeed combine maintenance, repair, and prevention in one product. Antioxidants are joined by skin-repairing and soothing ingredients, along with a few cell-communicating ingredients that help "train" cells to act in a younger, healthier manner.
This lightweight, oil-free lotion nourishes and protects skin without leaving a greasy after-feel like some sunscreens do.
Active Ingredient: Titanium Dioxide, Other Ingredients: Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetyl Esters, Jojoba Esters, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG-8 Dimethicone, Stearyl Alcohol, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Resveratrol, Ubiquinone, Citrullus Lanatus, Acetyl Tyrosine, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Adenosine Triphosphate, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Sodium PCA, Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 60, Di-PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Adipate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Proline, Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Hydroxyethyl Behenamidopropyl Dimonium Chloride, Acrylamide/Ammonium Acrylate Copolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Alumina, Aluminum Stearate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Polyisobutene, Synthetic Wax, Steareth-20, Carbomer, Polyquaternium-67, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrulline, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Chlorhexidine Digluconate
Texas-based BeautiControl has been around for nearly three decades and has maintained a consistent focus on skin care. Most recently they have shaped their line around the concept of creating your own in-home spa, which the company uses to entice women to host BeautiControl parties for their friends and family. Whether you find out about (or end up purchasing) these products by attending a BeautiControl party or you happen across their Web site, there are some compelling reasons to consider several BeautiControl products. Let's start with the positives.
The best face forward side of BeautiControl is that their price point is not over the top, and mostly reasonable; plus several of their products are exceptional. We also think their overall approach to taking care of skin is well-intentioned. Without question, the ingredients in their best products demonstrate they're keeping up with the state-of-the-art. If they stopped including problematic ingredients and discontinued the poorly formulated products this line would be a much stronger option for consumers looking to take excellent care of their skin while remaining brand-loyal.
BeautiControl's focus on launching more and more miracle products with incredibly misleading claims might help them sell more products, but it doesn't always make for good skin care. And how come they have so few facial moisturizers with sunscreen? Protecting skin from sunlight indisputably keeps it looking younger, firmer, smoother, and even-toned far longer than anything else you can do for skin.
BeautiControl's makeup collection has been streamlined a bit, and that's good news. The foundation colors are divided into warm, cool, and neutral tones though the warm tones (those that begin with the letter Y) are more neutral than warm, which is good news. The cool shades (those that begin with the letter P) are the least impressive. Throughout the color line are some happy surprises, such as the improved powder blush and eyeshadow trios but also some really bland products such as the eye pencil and some gimmicky primer-type products. You'll find some great products whether you want to shop BeautiControl's color line piecemeal or assemble a complete makeup wardrobe, and the prices are reasonable.
For more information about BeautiControl, call (800) 232-8841 or visit www.beauticontrol.com.
Note: We would like to acknowledge and extol how exceptionally helpful the staff at BeautiControl's main office has been in allowing my team and me to compile the information necessary to complete this review. Very few cosmetics companies extend such a high level of service and reliable information to us, and we truly appreciate it.
This is a good moisturiser for dry skin. In the winter my dry skin shifts to very dry and it's the only moisturiser I've found so far that almost does the trick. My complaint is that even after I wait 20 minutes to put on my make up, my foundation still only lasts until mid day. I have used both the cream and lotion versions and they are virtually identical in texture. I use the lotion now because they added some irritant preservative to the cream version. It's good but not perfect.
love it, but a little expensive for this tube.

What Is A Goal?We often hear this term applied to a variety of things throughout life. A goal may be applied to games where one strives to score on another team, or
it is the desire of a nation to eliminate poverty or
to reduce fiscal or financial debt. Each of these examples are indeed within the meaning of the word
but how does this term apply to one's life on a personal or professional level? Catherine Pulsifer Most dictionaries define the term "goal" as: a point marking an end; the object of effort; or ambition; a destination. And, here is how I define it: "A specific measureable achievement that is accomplished through defined and targeted actions." The major key in this definition is that your goal is where or what you want to have in the future and it is different than where you are currently. The other eal and important component is that you must define clearly what actions you will take where each actioin has a target date for completion. |
Let's take a quick look at a small company or business. In this case, let's talk about a restaurant. Now, it is simply not a matter of opening a restaurant and expect that people will come. You need to first know what kind of food you will serve, what kind of atmosphere, where it will be located, and where you want your business to end up in terms of how much money you want to make. In order to be successful, the owner will want to, indeed will have to, make a detailed plan or goal, and within this goal must be defined all those points listed above. No one can expect that they will reach a financial position without careful planning and execution. Each detail and action must reinforce the ultimate achievement of the goal. Here is a simple exercise if you think I am wrong. Go and visit a successful restaurant, one that has been in business for several years, and one that is known for quality food, a great atmosphere, and superb customer service. Ask to speak to the owner for a few minutes and ask him or her how they became so well known and successful. I believe you will find an owner who set a goal, had a detailed action plan, and stuck to the plan with very little deviation. The same analogy applies to professional athletes no matter what sport. An athlete does not become a professional or skilled amatuer just be simply declaring that they are an athlete ready for competition. I know this may seem a bit simplistic but the message should be clear. An athlete knows exactly what he or she wants to achieve; each athlete has a specific goal, a specific plan and specific actions that each must take, and these actions repeated over and over again (training) is what ultimately brings them to each athlete's goal. |
Here is the real meat of this discussion. You can set a detailed course of action for your life, or you can just let life deal you a hand without any input or direction. The future for you is not one that is not influenced if you do not have a set goal or goals. It will simply be a future that is set by circumstances or by someone else's desires or intentions. Which kind of future do you want? The decision to have what you want in the future is not dependant on someone else. It is not a future that relies on what some people call good luck. But, it is a future that you hold in your own hands where everything you do is your responsibility. If you want or desire a different kind of life than you have now, or if you are just starting out on a path in life as a teenager, it is really up to you to grasp and get what you want. |

"I cannot even tell you how many complimens we received on this birth announcement! It was so wonderful to get that feedback. They are even nicer in person. I would describe them as pretty, elegant and delicate. We did almost identical to the stock photo (grey back drop with white trim and our photo was 'naked' baby with white flower headband that somewhat matched the trim on the cards). Oh- and I ordered at 10 pm on a Wednesday and they were at my door step Friday afternoon! Just wonderful and am so, so pleased with our order and Tiny prints!"
"The card was a high quality paper and turned out better then we imagined. Perfect way to share the announcement of our new daughter with friends and family."
"My husband and I waited until our daughter was about 3 months old before taking professional photos and sending an announcement. After reviewing multiple options, we decided that this design was perfect to showcase her look. We styled her in a "little black dress" complete with pearls and photographed her against a pink blanket. I loved that the gray background of this card complimented her outfit and the pink made her first and middle name pop. We have received so many compliments on this announcement. And I look forward to saving it in her memory book."
"I needed the announcements for my first little girl to be perfection and they were. I ordered the sample first so I knew ahead of time how pretty they were in person. My only regret is not splurging on the type of paper. The pearl shimmer would have made them even more beautiful."
"Everyone loved it! we chose the design exactly as the example showed it- with the fancy shape. everyone told us how much they loved it! so unique and modern, yet still classic feeling. great card."

I'm so glad you did. And I'm so glad that you're still with this story despite the long stretches between updates to it. Thanks bunches for that. And thanks for continuing to review, HarmMarie!

Review of chapter "Whole" from
Yeah, this one was way too short, but - at the same time - the perfect length. I'm finding that part hard to explain. So happy to see an update for this one, period, though. There can never be enough.
Comments from author:
Update dedicated to you and your, I believe you refereed to it as "impetuous and bratty", insistence that I update in your last review. *laugh* I've been jumping around like crazy lately with what I write but your review made me think about this fic a lot - and Ginny in particular.
Glad you liked it and I'm happy the length was perfect (/sad it was too short) for you. *giggle*. Thanks so much for your continued feedback - it truly does push me to write a lot of times. So, again, thank you. :)

Review of chapter "Grand Insight Aside" from
Right, update, now. I demand it. I am impetuous and bratty in my insistence. Because this perfection needs to go on.
Two typos, though: Ginny's full name is Ginevra. And wizards have cars, remember. The Weasleys were allowed to use one to take Harry and all their children to school that one year with Ministry permission. They just have magical accouterments, remember? Wider and more spacious on the inside while looking perfectly regular on the outside. That sort of thing.
Comments from author:
He he. Your bratty impetuousness delights me. I am sad to say though that it might be a bit before I update. I haven't abandoned this - I actually have a few pieces in the works - but I am doing the Wishlist this year and have 10 prompts to complete. That is on top of the Walking Dead crossover, Fringe, and Warehouse 13 fics that I am updating fairly regularly right now.
Busy busy. But, you've actually got my brain back in this universe now. Bah. bah.
I will definitely go and change Ginny's name. I have a problem with that sort of thing. I think I was doing the same thing with Godric Gryffindor earlier. Those sorts of names you don't use a lot. Although I think Ginerva is more common than Godric. :)
And with cars - it was my impression that cars were still seen as a Muggle thing. It is, after, all a purely non-magical piece of technology before you add magical add-ons. Maybe that wouldn't be the view by all, but I thought that pure blood families might have maintained that view. And didn't you always need specific permissions to make those accouterments? I thought Arthur got fined when people found out about the car because he hadn't got special permission to tinker with Muggle things...I don't know. I might be wrong in this or it might be one of those things they never flat out said specifically in the books.
Either way she probably wouldn't have much knowledge about hybrids. *laughs*
Thanks again for all your reviews. :)

Review of chapter "The Blood In Their Veins" from
Right, so everything's amazingly fantastic and HOW DID YOU PULL THIS MASTERPIECE TOGETHER, BUT the spelling's getting hairy again, not to mention, this takes place in Europe, for the most part, but everyone talks like an American? I really don't get that.
Lastly, but never ever muchly - Andromeda is Teddy's grandmother, not great-aunt, remember? Hence her thoughts about Dora in the first place, and the further asides about Remus. I suppose I'll find out if the first Ted Tonks is ever mentioned between them when I keep reading.
Comments from author:
That's true. I don't know why in my head I thought of her as his great-aunt. *bangs head on keyboard* At least the nickname GrAndy works as his grandmother as well. Grandmother Andromeda - GrAndy. I think that still works. *sigh*
As for the American talking, I do apologize for that but being American it rather happened that way. I didn't want to equate Europe or British people to throwing in the word 'bloody' all the time, so I figured I'd just talk like it felt natural and that would be that. The only real thing I remember purposefully doing to make it regional was changing things to metric and shifting the school systems to European ones.
When it comes to Ted Tonks........well, I was actually about to write something out here but I think I just became intrigued. I might actually write a bit on that in the future. I haven't actually done an Andromeda POV yet.....
And thanks so much, yet again for your exceptionally kind words and taking the time to review.

Review of chapter "Grand Insight Aside" from
Yay! Thank you for updating, i think about your story and your world a lot lately and literally squealed when i saw a new chapter.
I must say, i am writing a little Malfoy fic myself at the moment and reading this chapter almost brought me to tears, thank you for writing it. It hits all the big notes, the sadness, the pain, the regret of the war and their involvement but also the happiness and contentment. Made me recall why the Malfoy's are my favourite characters, especially thinking of the final movie that just came out.
It is just magnificent, i think i can say this a thousand times and still mean it, you have exceptional talent. Please, never stop writing because you capture emotions in the way of a painter, you make a painting with words. It makes me feel honoured to be a writer.
I can't wait till the next piece.
Comments from author:
Goodness, it's been a while since you wrote this so I need to start out by apologizing for the belated reply. Life has been a bit challenging lately.
Your review was absolutely lovely though and it truly made me feeling baffled - in a totally good way. I've just always had a hard time thinking of myself as a good writer, or a writer at all really *laughs*. Thanks again for your kind words, Xia - I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

Review of chapter "Closure" from
Damn, that last chapter was painful to read. Poor Dennis. And poor Oliver. As always I'm deeply impressed with your way of conveying and understanding emotions.
Comments from author:
Thanks, tals. From the very beginning Dennis was this little ball of pent up bitterness and angst (and for good reason). And although he has grown over time, he hasn't become a completely different person. Poor Oliver just wants to make everything -better-, he thought they could have this talk and it would be painful but then everything would be -better-. Too bad Dennis never got that script.
As always, I am glad I was able to convey at least a bit of what was in my head onto the page(/screen) and I sincerely thank you for the compliment of it being painful to read. *laughs* Than means it worked.
And thanks for taking the time to comment Tals - I appreciate it.

Review of chapter "Closure" from
So broken, so mangled as far as lives go in your fic. It's interesting to see a fic that has them holding together but so very broken at the same time. I have to agree with Lily, it's needed. :)
Comments from author:
It's rather odd when you look at it. You have a Community dealing with the impressions of two wars (the first of which people barely talked about because they didn't want to say the name of the main person involved out of superstition) and no real professional support system. I've never even been a huge proponent of having to go get psychological help in all situations - sometimes just talking things out amongst friends or family can work in my opinion. But, with all the stuff these people have been through....how could they not be effected, how could some of them not need a bit more help? Some people just aren't able to deal and that isn't anybodies fault. We've all heard of people who come out of war with PTSD and such.
Like I said, I'm no expert. And most of the people I write about here have been dealing the best they can, and they have gotten on with their lives. But some haven't let go of this stuff as much as others.
I'm terribly sorry, you wrote me a lovely review and I went on a bit of a tangent there. When I start typing it just gets away from me sometimes. :) Thank you very much for taking the time to comment, MistofRainbows, I really appreciate it.

Review of chapter "An Understandable Type" from
I love the interplay between Ron and Hermione, how comfortable they are with each other but not in a bored way. I also really like that Ron is still a touch jealous because it was a big part of his personality. Of course I'm also very fond of men find smart girls hot, but then this is fiction. Oh well, lol, loved the update.
Comments from author:
I'm glad it read that way - comfortable but not bored, that is. At this point they've been married about two decades and known each other coming up on three, so there is definitely familiarity there. And I agree that Ron had always had a bit of jealousy (especially when it comes to Krum and Harry), even though he is grown I'm not sure that would completely evaporate.
As for guys who find smart girls hot, that seemed to be at least one of the main reasons why Victor was attracted to and sought out Hermione. And as it is such a huge part of who Hermione is, I figure Ron would appreciate as well. Plus, as you say, I am fond of such men as well. :)
Thanks for reviewing!

Review of chapter "The Blood In Their Veins" from
I think, as someone else said, the only way to describe this world is it makes you want to laugh with tears on your face. a perfect description.
I loved this chapter for the absolute realness of it, it just shows me yet again how talented you are. The GrAndy made me laugh, so cute. How he described V makes me love her even more, how sexy a photograph as well, you truly made me see it in my minds eye. The description did remind me of a pic i saw of Emma Watson recently though, odd!
I can't wait for more, maybe Teddy could become a photographer and take photos of her forever? it would certainly feed his obsession with his mate, or not..
I loved the last chap as well, so sad - poor Fred, she feels like she is losing herself while gaining an Identity, through growing up and setting her future, again so true. Happy that she hasn't forgotten that she does have a family. Xia.
Comments from author:
Yeah, that was HarmMarie (internet hugs) who said that she was quoting a bit from the end of the chapter 'Hopelessly Intertwined'. I'm glad you see the series that way though, I didn't know it was that intense to other people really. Honestly, that's how I often feel in life - you want to cry (probably should) but you just laugh instead because sometimes things are so shitty it's ridiculous and crying won't make it better. Sometimes laughing about horrible things makes them seem a little less horrible.
....sorry I think I just got a bit preachy/ranty on you there. *laughs*
Oh, GrAndy. I came up with that back in the last chapter of the first set of drabbles. I thought it would feel weird for Teddy to keep calling someone like Andromenda, Grandma. So it kinda went from Grandma Andromeda - Granny Andy - GrAndy.
....again, way too much information probably. Might as well continue with the trend, huh?
I haven't seen the pic of Emma Watson, but that does surprise me because I thought she got her hair cut short or something...Anyway, I'm glad I wrote it in a way that you could clearly picture it.
Also, I don't think I will make Teddy a photographer. I just set him up in this chapter as getting into music (I think Oz tainted me and I now think all werewolves must play an instrument) - I don't really want to jump him to a different career when I still have everyone else to deal with. And I think we have enough of the group tied up with Pansy's company now *laughs*. Plus, I have an idea where his interest in music will take him....
And Fred had her family/friends, if she keeps them close they will keep her grounded. She is always going to question her identity a bit (how could she not) - but her life is different in key ways.
So, glad you liked it. Thanks for the lovely lovely review. And I apologize for writing such a long response here - I really hope you don't mind.

Have i ever mentioned how much i adore V? She is simply fabulous.
Comments from author:
I do love my Veela girls. *grins* You have Fleur, Gabrielle, and V - all of whom I find awesome -and- I attempt to make distinctive in my universe. I'm glad V is getting love though, when I shortened her name and shaped her personality I wasn't sure how people would take it - same with all the younger batch I suppose. So, I'm glad you like her! :)

This chapter was perfect. It made you want to laugh with tears on your face.
Comments from author:
I'm glad I got it right then. I don't think her identity is something that will ever be quite solid for Fred, but I don't want it to be something that is always on her mind - always tormenting her. She has her own life and similarities don't mean duplication.
Thanks, as always, for taking the time to review HarmMarie. :)
