Problems with TMW
Entered yesterday.
There are huge amounts of material, that's sure.
But I'm also having some problems:
1. No high-quality pictures :( When I download the video, I can choose "watch picture gallery" and then "download zip". But with the half dozen sets I tried, pics are not above FHD resolution, total size of gallery 10-80MB.
I want to download picture sets alongside the corresponding video set.
Any suggestions how I can get good pictures?
2. All the sites look the same. Can I change that? I would prefer seeing the original look of the sites (and have the possibilities to download material as if I were a member of the sites). Or are all the sites integrated into one?
3. The sets have no name! So when there is more than one set of a Model in a site, it is difficult to have a good structure and being able to see what I've already downloaded when I return.
How can I see the set's name?
Creampie Angels
Why bother?
The action is hot, the creampies are not. Why bother advertising creampies when they're so blatantly fake? As much as I hate the pull-out-to-hurry-up-and-cum-on-her-face routine, this site would have been better off doing just that, using a different name.

I've been a fan of this site for a number of years and the last two times I signed up, the password didn't work. After several emails to support, they kept giving me new passwords but nothing has changed. In fact, they even gave me another site to log in and that failed.
The second time was the same problem and have not heard from their support or even received a refund.
Poor support, movies are great but they keep taking my money.
PS Yes, I changed my computer settings and nothing has helped. UGH!

Slow download speeds at TMW.
I am currently a member of TMW.
Sometimes I get slow download speeds, not sure why.
I am currently downloading a video, 1.39 GB.
But I am only getting about 270 - 430 KB/sec, which means the video will take about 50 minutes or more to download.
That is the only file I am downloading at the moment; I could understand if I were downloading 2 or more files at the same time, that I would be getting a slow download on each file.
But I am only downloading a single file at the moment.
My max download speed is about 2.3 MB/sec.
So 300-400 KB/sec seems very slow.
I am using DownThemAll, which usually gives me good results.
If I keep experiencing slow download speeds, I will be really disappointed with my subscription.

Are they raising the prices at Teen Mega World?
If you don't use the PU/TBP link to go to the Teen Mega World site, but find the link through Google, the join prices are
$29.95 for 1 month, recurring.
$39.95 for 1 month, non-recurring.
$89.95 for 6 months, non-recurring.
Otherwise, using the PU/TBP link, the prices are
$19.95 for 1 month, recurring.
Not listed: for 1 month, non-recurring.
$89.95 for 12 months, non-recurring.
Before, I've seen the prices that you get with a PU/TBP discount link, at the Teen Mega World site, even without using the PU/TBP link.
But now the prices when you go directly to the Teen Mega World site, are definitely higher than using the PU/TBP links.
The 1 month recurring price has a $10 discount with the PU/TBP discount.
The 12 month non-recurring price has a $89.95 discount with the PU/TBP discount.

-High Quality Videos
-Beautiful teens
-Easy Interface
-Access to abundance of content
-Speedy customer service
-Relatively low membership costs
-Lack of much female diversity
-Limited by region
Bottom Line:
Overall, this is a great site and I enjoyed it very much but I found the limited regional variance. Personally, I like to see teens of all kinds that make me feel like I'm not tied down to a particular set of women. These models were beautiful and the videos were done relatively well, but I noticed there to be a particular look to the women used in these videos. Generally they were petite, had small breasts, and were european. Now I have no problem with that and I love all the above characteristics, but I want to see a variance of women with medium to larger breasts and different nationalities as the site is called Mega TEEN World, not East European Teen World. It feels limited to eastern European women and I feel it needs to include more types. There are a few exceptions but not very many. Like I said, it's a great site but I felt that it could have been better. The lack of variance and diversity made it stale to me after a while. Still worth checking out if you have a thing for the types of models they use though it could be even greater.

Captcha sometimes required.
TMW now sometimes requires you to enter a captcha to gain access to the site, in addition to a username and password.
Also, the login process can be slower than before.
When I was a member before, once I entered the site for the day, any time I re-entered the site that same day, I didn't have to re-enter my username and password.
But now, a popup window asks for my username and password, every time I enter the site. And sometimes it asks for a captcha, as well. The captcha is usually easy to read, but sometimes I make a mistake, and have to re-enter a new captcha.
Is a captcha really needed?
The old way, where the site stored a cookie to recognize me to make re-entry automatic, was really nice.
But asking me to re-enter my user name and password every time is just an added step, that is annoying.
And for some reason, when my PC saves the username and password, in a popup window, and I click on the window to gain access to TMW, that does not work. The server does not accept my username and password from the popup window.
I have to close the popup window with my username and password, then click on the hot link for "Current Member Login Here", and then, without entering my username or password, I then enter the site.
Otherwise, I can click the OK button on the popup window with my username and password, which makes the popup window with the username and password disappear momentarily before reappearing, and I can click on the popup window all day, going through a senseless routine of watching the popup window disappear and reappear.
Somebody told me that computers, over time, were supposed to be easier to use.
Was that the same kind of advice that told me that all good Republicans are going to heaven? And all those Democrats are going to hell?

1 site down
One of the sites on the network,
Teen Sex Mania
, is broken (can't access it at all). They're supposed to be fixing it but it's been almost 2 weeks???

Teen Mega World now has pre checked cross selling
When I originally reviewed this network it had no pre checked cross selling. I thought I would join again as it looked to have improved since that review. Unfortunately it now has pre checked cross selling. Sad and frustrating to see one more network which previously had a good reputation join the tricky rip off con alliance.

+Huge network of sites which give you access to over 3000 videos and their accompanying photosets.
+They have an excellent selection of young Eastern European models.
+They update once a day and all content is dated.
+They have a very good search engine that allows searches based on keywords or the models name.
+There is a synopsis of each scenes content.
+There is a lot of variety in their sex scenes which includes b/g, g/g b/g/g and solo
+Most of the models have multiple scenes.
-The vast majority of the sites are now dead and no longer updating.
-They keep adding new sites but then stop adding new content within a few months.
-They recently altered their update schedule where now they release the photoset first and the videos is only released in the follwing day or days.
-Many of the models have more than one scene but sometimes there is not a lot of difference between each of them.
-The older content is not aging well and I don't belive that they plan on remastering any of those scenes.
Bottom Line:
*These guys recently fixed an issue with their preview site and I'm one of those people that was complaining about that so I thought I should check the site out again. Not much as changed since my last time except to say that the content seems to have improved. I suspect that they have found other sources to fill the void left by Russia's change in policy in regards to shooting porn. That is good news because I was a little distraught the last time.
*Their choice of model is still excellent and the porn is usually well shot, well lit and the action quite good. My only negative is that the male performers are not always as good as they should so the scene does not reach the potential it could have with a better male performer.
*My one big issue with the network, and this is an old one, is that they keep adding new sites to the network all the while stopping to update those that were already quite good. Not to mention that the new sites are not'necessarily that good and even if they are then they will also stop updating it within a very short amount of time.
**I truly hope that their new update schedule has less to do with lack of new content on their part and more some kind of gimmick to make it appear as though they have a brand new scene each day.
**I'm giving the network is better score this time because they have started to add some good content.

- 27 sites, 832 models, 3034 videos and daily updates.
- For the most part videos come in 3 sizes (WMV high definition(1280x720), FLV medium (700x400) and mobile device ready (usually mp4 @ 480x240), although some scenes have specific apple format)
- All scenes come with zipped photo archives (for the most part image quality is high at 1400x960)
- Easy navigation and while things are a bit basic it's easy to find a particular niche or a particular model.
- Good download speeds while using a download manager (I am located in the US Midwest , not sure how that affected things but I had no issues with time-outs, network errors and everything went down fast)
- There is a forum feature where admins actually answer questions, it's not very heavily used but if you have feedback, questions or issues I have seen them answer within a few hours
- I believe the site is entirely eastern European girls with a strong focus on Russian girls. A lot of very beautiful girls some well know, some less so.
- The main issue with the network is lack of consistency, for example some scenes have a quick intro with subtitles, others are just a Russian intro with no translation. Some older scenes use a different streaming model and some scenes are MKV format, some are FLV some are WMV. It's to be expected for a network that's been around for such a long time and has as much content as this one, but sometimes it makes it hard to know what you'll get with each scene.
- As almost every eastern European site out there each video saves as a random name ( try to remember what scene 20.setflash.flv is)
- Navigation while functional is a bit basic and we only have a handful of categories to search by, it would also be nice to see a preview of the scene when hovering over the thumbnail (like 21sextury does)
- The light and camerawork could be a bit improved as it feels somewhat basic and can be pretty different from scene to scene (some have a lot of close-ups some are mostly zoomed out shots)
Bottom Line:
If I remember correctly this network was one of the first sites I ever joined, back in 2008-2009 and since then I come back to it every so often because of the high quality of the girls here. No matter when I join I always find a bunch of videos I'm happy to add to my collection.
They have numerous very hot girls and while they are not named the same way other sites label them, they have most of the big names as well as several girls I have not seen many other places. (Hennessy is Sveta here in some very hot anal action, Monica is Marta B. Sarah is Benta and so on)
The scenes range from solo masturbation scenes (on beauty angels) to lesbian (spread around the multiple networks, but around 100 scenes or so total) to anal and double penetration. A lot of the girls, wear cute outfits with a decent amount of stockings and different looking skirts and tops. Overall there isn't a lot of make-up and airbrushing leaving the girls looking pretty natural and adorable.
One interesting aspect to me is that the shots on
feel a lot more natural and innocent, almost home made/ amateur-ish, which for me makes them a million time more interesting, but it really depends what you're looking for.
A lot of the scenes have pretty basic lighting and there is a nice mix of far shots as well as close-ups, but they don't feel over produced.
Another nice aspect is that most of the girls have multiple shots so you can find them in both solo action as well as anal sex. Overall I'd say the network has a nice mix of the action giving you a good range (but don't go in expecting all anal or all solo stripping shots)
As mentioned above some of the minor complaints I have about the network are mostly related to consistency, I would like the beauty angels site to be all solo action as opposed to the occasional hardcore sex scene. I know I can filter by the solo tag, but why have a different network if the action is the same as teen mania or fuck studies? Also I'd like to see all lesbian scenes have their own site and maybe some new updates for some older sites, which seem dead at this point.
I would also like all scenes to be in the same encoding and same resolution and save with the model's name instead of the cryptic 11.setflash (interestingly enough older scenes do save with the model's name and the video resolution, not sure what changed in the internal structure of the site)
But these are small complaints which barely affect the enjoyment of the action which is great. If you're looking for natural looking girls in both softcore and anal action this network is probably one of the best sites you can join. I mentioned their main competition (21sextury) but that network feels a lot more geared towards mainstream looking pornstars with a lot of make-up and giant boobs. Teen mega world is perfect for anyone looking for hot, innocent looking teens in hardcore scenes and at this point it's one of the few Eastern European networks still updating daily with quality content.
Teen Mega World
Teen Mega World advertises 100% exclusive Our Websites.
That would imply that the videos at the sites are 100% exclusive.
That is misleading.
Some of the videos at TMW are also at the Diesel Access network. And most of the videos at
Rub A Teen
(one of the
Team Skeet
sites) are at
Tricky Masseur
, which is part of the TMW network.
But if you haven't been a member at TMW, because of the large amount of hardcore teen videos, I think the site is worth joining.
Teen Mega World
false preview section
Has anyone else noticed that although the dates posted on the more recent scenes keep changing to newer ones. The actual content posted on the preview sites hasn't changed in quite a while. I make it a point to visit the site at least once every couple of weeks(if not sooner) and I didn't really notice it at first but I went this moring and it's the same scenes that were there last week but they now have a date starting today March 29.
It's bad enough that the preview section sucks but to lie about updates smacks of bad business practice to me.

Support for MP4?
Does Teen Mega World support MP$? I need MP4 so video plays on Roku.

TMW now has clear listing of sites you have access to.
For many years, TMW did not clearly list what sites you gain access to when you joined their network.
Now the company and site show a clear listing of the sites you gain access to with a site membership to TM@:
I think this is very helpful to people interested in joining this network.
Teen Mega World
They re-designed the preview pages for Teen Mega World.
The preview pages now show a clearer listing of some of the member sites you get access to with a membership in Teen Mega World.
They say you get access to 33 teen porn sites.
But the preview page only shows thumbnails for 24 sites.
For years, I have complained that Teen Mega World (and its member sites) do not show a clear listing of all the sites you are supposed to get with a membership in any one of the sites.
The new preview page is a much better listing than the previous one that showed a tiny thumbnail for some of their sites.
But it still does not show clearly all the sites you are supposed to get access to.
Is this a Russian or Eastern Europe thing, where you can't show clearly the sites you are supposed to get access to with a membership?
Also, the preview page seems very limited. Apart from the page listing the sites you are supposed to get, there is a page for "latest videos", "top rated girls", "categories", etc. But if you click on a thumbnail of a model you might like, instead of going to a page of the model where it lists her videos or photosets, you are directed to a signup page. The same thing happens if you click on a thumbnail of a video you might want to see a sample of: instead of a sample video, you are redirected to the signup page. You click on "Browse all our categories", and instead of a listing of the categories, you are redirected to the signup page.
I guess they want you to join their site.
But a better sales pitch would be if their preview gave a potential member the chance to see a model's page that shows a nice-sized thumbnail of the model, with her content at the network.
And it would be helpful if they included some sample videos lasting 30 - 60 seconds to show what the videos are like.
The network has a tremendous amount of videos, many of very nice quality, and I think they are missing an opportunity to showcase their goods.
Teen Mega World
Wishing they supported Roku
Looks like a site I'd like to subscribe to, but it doesn't appear to support Roku yet.
Wow Orgasms
New site in the network?
wow-orgasms.com is apparently the newest site in the Teen Mega World network.
Site currently has 23 videos.
If you're a member of the network, it's worth checking the site out.
I don't recognize any of the videos here, so maybe they weren't transferred from one of the other sites, and might be new to the network.

Teen Mega World network experiencing problems?
It used to be that you could be logged in to any of the member sites for hours before you would get a site timeout.
But today, I am getting a site timeout within minutes of logging in to the network.
This has happened a few times today, already.
Separately, you go to a video at one of their sites, that is supposed to have a streaming option to view. And instead of being able to stream the video, there is no hot link to stream the video. This is not true for all videos, but just today, I found several videos that would not stream.
I certainly hope that their technical staff will fix these problems.
Edit01: I just logged in to
, which I am also a member of. And I have the same problem of not seeing a hot link to play streaming videos.
So I now think that the problem is probably some software or hardware conflict in my PC, and not at the Teen Mega World network. Because I doubt that
would have the same technical problem of not displaying the hot link to stream a video.
I'm sorry that I suggested/implied/stated that Teen Mega World was having technical problems.
My guess is that it's my PC that is having technical problems.
It's a new PC, less than 1 year old. No virus or malware, that I know of.
Edit02: Yes, it's definitely my PC that has a problem. I can't find a play link to stream videos at
18 Only Girls
Young Legal Porn
, which are part of the Diesel Access network.
Edit03: I recently disabled Java because of the security warnings. That might be what's causing my problems. That's just a guess, because I don't have any way of testing that.
Well, I could turn Java back on. But the security experts say that Java leaves you open to too many security problems.

Newer stunt cocks at Teen Mega World.
I know some PU members have said the recent updates at Teen Mega World are below the standards that Teen Mega World had before.
But one thing that I think is an improvement, not just at Teen Mega World but at some other sites as well, is that we are seeing some new stunt cocks appearing in these videos. I am glad that the 3 main stunt cocks at Teen Mega World are appearing less often.

- Large network (nearly 3000 scenes)
- Network updates daily with one scene per day for the network
- Great teen-themed network
- Beautiful Russian and Eastern European models
- Decent proportion of anal scenes (though this is definitely NOT an anal-themed network
- Supports download managers
- No obvious time-outs for downloads
- No download limits
- Several under-served niches are here
- TBP / PU discount ($20 instead of $30)
- Non-English-speaking models can cause the heat to be turned down a bit
- Several sites not updating
- Download speeds can vary and are generally lower than average
Bottom Line:
I know this network has some detractors here but Im definitely not one of them. This network wasnt even on my list of must haves but I joined it to get access to sites that feature under-served niches like young women (18-20) with older men, for example, and Im glad that I joined. One advantage I have is that while many members here state that the site has lost its edge I have nothing to compare that to so the site still looks great to me. If you join now you likely wont be disappointed.
The entire network has a theme of promoting young (18-20) Eastern European and Russian models. There are 36 listed sites (but two of them are network duplicates) that offer these models in a variety of niches. The most common niches are here, which is good, but the better news is that several under-served niches are here too. For example, there is a massage site, a nylons site, a voyeur site and an old-and-young site. The network is large, offering just shy of 3000 scenes now.
The network is still active with one new scene being added per day. Thats one scene per day for the network, not for each site. Several of the sites havent updated in a while so they may no be updating at all now.
Each site opens into its own page where you see 10 scenes per page. Clicking on a scene you want to see opens it in a new page where you can either stream or download the video. I dont use streaming so I cant really pronounce on it, but the streams arent offered in different resolutions. The good news is that unlike many other sites the stream doesnt start automatically. The site layout is simple, effective and easy to use.
The downloads are a bit odd in that while there are options those options are limited. Unlike other similar networks where you can choose any number of resolutions in your preferred format this network doesnt offer that. For each scene there are usually options, but each resolution is offered in a different format. So if you want a particular resolution (and file size) you cant choose the format: youre stuck with the encoding that the network chose.
If photos are available, theyre well hidden because I didnt see them. I dont normally download photos either so I have to admit that I didnt look that hard.
The biggest advantage for the network is the look of the models. I dont normally take memberships to sites with Russian and Eastern European models but there is no good reason for this, especially since it seems that so many of the newest and most beautiful models are now coming out of Russia and Eastern Europe. This network is no exception: many of the models are new to me and many of them are incredibly beautiful.
This may be a pro or a con depending on your view, but while the network isnt anally-themed (though there is one anal site
Anal Angels
) there is a decent amount of anal sex here. Id prefer more, so that should be an indication for non-anal-fans that the site isnt overwhelmed by anal scenes. Id say the proportion is about right.
Some minor positives are that the network offers a TBP/PU discount and it bills through Epoch. They also allow download managers and there are no obvious timeouts on the links. There are also no download limits.
The site does have some negatives. Objectively, the limited download options is a problem (see above). Also, the download speeds can vary quite a bit. Im used to seeing speeds approaching 7MB/s and I admit that this occurred here, but it was more common to see speeds about half that rate. The lowest speeds I saw were down around 1MB/s but those only occurred at what I assume were peak download times in Europe.
This is a purely subjective negative, but I find that when the models dont speak English that takes some of the heat away from the scene. Im a big fan of the scene set up and when you cant understand what the models are saying it seems to turn the heat down a bit. This reason alone isnt a deal-breaker because so many of the models are stunningly beautiful, but if you plan to join you should be aware of this.
The bottom line is that the positives far outweigh the minor negatives to make this network a good value. Yes, they could offer more download options and the download speeds could be more consistent, but the large network size, the access to under-served niches and especially the stunning models make this a worthwhile membership.

- Part of the large
Teen Mega World
- 93 scenes available
- Beautiful Russian and Eastern European models
- Allows download managers
- Bills through Epoch
- TBP / PU discount
- Updates infrequently
- Language reduces heat
- Slower than average download speeds
- Limited options for video download
Bottom Line:
Im a big fan of the massage niche and will usually try a site at least once to get access to new material, as I did here. One advantage with this site is that is that it gives you access to the entire
Teen Mega World
network. The name of the network should be an indication that the network and the sites within it arent for everyone: the site owners take the teen theme seriously so the only models here are beautiful young (18-20) Russian and Eastern European models. If your tastes are for older women, you probably wont like this site or the network. (But for those of us who do prefer younger and more petite models, this site and the network are great.)
The site currently has 93 scenes available. The scenes follow the usual setup used in the massage niche: model walks in to get a massage from a male masseur, she undresses and gets on the table under a sheet or towel, the massage begins with the masseur slowly exposing more of the model as he massages her, eventually shes naked and the fun begins. While this can be repetitive it can also increase the heat of the scene if it is done right. The right chemistry between the models and the right amount of tease can make for a great scene.
But heres where TM has a bit of a problem. I realize that this is very subjective and is beyond the control of the site so I wont say this is a negative and I didnt consider it when assessing a score. The problem is that in most massage scenes a lot of the heat is built by the interaction between the male and female models. But since this site uses Russian and Eastern European models they dont speak English so the viewer loses a key element of that interaction. The site does use subtitles which certainly helps, but it doesnt generate the tease and heat of a site that uses English-speaking models. The language issue is partly offset by the female models though, as most of them are incredibly beautiful.
The site layout is simple and easy to use. Each page has ten scenes listed with basic information about that scene. Clicking on a scene opens a new page where you can stream or download the scene. I didnt try the streaming so I cant comment on that. The scenes are available as one complete file or in parts. I only downloaded the complete scene so I cant comment on the scene in parts either.
When it comes to downloading the scenes the site has made a choice that seems a bit odd. I dont know enough technical stuff to understand why theyd do it this way, but Im assuming that there is a reason. On most sites there are multiple file formats and sizes available. So, for example, you might prefer WMV files and those are available in two or three resolutions. If you prefer mp4 files, those are available too and in multiple resolutions. Here the choices are a bit different: there are multiple file sizes available but each one uses a different format: the high resolution is a WMV, there is a medium resolution in either MKV or FLV format and a resolution for mobile devices that comes as an mp4. So if you prefer WMV format but dont want a 1GB file youre out of luck.
Im fine with WMV so I downloaded the highest resolution available which is in that format. Even the oldest scenes on the site (which arent that old the first scene was uploaded on November 28, 2010) come in at 1280x720 at 4800+kb/s and 25fps. They use WMV Codec 9. Subjectively they look great. I cant speak for the lower resolution files as I didnt download them.
The site permits download managers (I use IDM) and I had no issue with links timing out. One issue that I did experience is that the download speeds could fluctuate. With IDM Im used to seeing downloads near 7MB/s on most sites. With this site there were times when I could see those speeds but those times werent frequent or sustained. I could regularly see speeds well below 2MB/s. On average, Id say that I got 4 to 4.5MB/s. Still not bad, but less than I normally get. The slower speeds also seemed to correspond with peak download times in Eastern Europe so I could often improve my downloads by waiting until those members were less likely to be downloading porn.
The site appears to be still active though updates are now infrequent. There was an update on November 24, 2012 but the next most recent was in April. As recently as March 2012 they were adding four or five scenes per month.
One factor that some potential members may be interested to know (and it could be a pro or a con depending on your preferences) is that while there are a good proportion of anal scenes on the other sites in the network,
Tricky Masseur
has no anal scenes.
The bottom line is that this is a pretty good massage site. The models are incredibly beautiful, young and petite and make for some great porn. If you like massage porn Id recommend giving the site a try and as an added bonus you get access to a huge network and you get a TBP / PU discount too.

Tender, Loving Credit
The trouble is that these loans start out with lots of heartwarming feeling. Tales of goodwill with unforeseen emotional consequences abound. There's Blair E., who was moved to help his out-of-work friend save the farm (literally, a farm) and ended up sinking $9,200 into the property. Blair hasn't seen a penny of it, and though he insists the friendship hasn't suffered, neither man has mentioned the loan in two years. "I shouldn't feel guilty about bringing it up," says Blair, "but I do. I have more net worth than him."
A successful brother funnels cash to his downtrodden twin, as his wife laments having married the two of them. A mother has to sneak funds to her son for a car because her second husband, his stepfather, has forbidden her to "spoil" the boy. Indeed, roughly eight million households in the United States, according to numbers derived from a Federal Reserve survey, have loans of between $400 and $500,000 outstanding to friends, relatives, and business associates. That's about $89 billion in jeopardized love and loyalty spread out across the country. And the reality that this happy sharing frequently turns rotten isn't new. It was as far back as 1600 that Shakespeare wrote his famous warning to the likes of Blair and Hank in Hamlet, Act I: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be;/ For loan oft loses both itself and friend."
When it comes to offering tender loving credit, financial advisors and gurus love to quote Shakespeare. Don't Do It is their basic point. "It's a disaster waiting to happen," says Sheryl Garrett, a certified financial planner and author of Just Give Me the Answer$. "My father warned me to never ever lend money under any circumstance. His wisdom was excellent.

When it comes to your home, a window has the ability to truly bring a space together. The window covering you choose for that space can easily enhance or distract, the choice is up to you. Despite the traditional look of indoor plantation shutters, more and more people are choosing this style for their homes. There are several great reasons to consider replacing your current window coverings with plantation shutters.
Green Solutions
With all the recycled material being used these days to be re-formed into usable appliances and furniture, there is no reason to not consider this options for your windows. If you are replacing your current window solution, choosing wooden shutters leaves you with the option to go with a green replacement such as composite shutters or wood blinds made of "smart wood". Composite shutters are an extremely durable material made from a combination of recycled man-made product and excess wood from lumberyards. These shutters will not only last just as long as traditional wood shutters, but they are also much easier to maintain and easy to install. Blinds made with "smart wood" are designed with real hardwood, but come from maintained forests to ensure crosscutting has not been implemented.
Color and Style
Window shutters today come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and are able to fit nearly any window including round ones. Modern designs are allowing shutters to bring a nice, classy look to any space without dimming the natural lighting. Having the option to paint your shutters can also make a big difference in your home as well. You are able to change the style of décor in any room without having to change out the window treatment.
Bring in the right light
Shutters are dynamic in the amount of light they bring in or block out. Made from such a solid material like hard wood or thick plastic, closing the shutters has an effect similar to black out blinds, as hardly any light will filter in. However, once they are open the sun will warmly light up the surrounding wood and appear to be brighter than you ever could have imagined. With these kinds of options, you certainly will not go wrong with new shutters in your home.
More durable
You will find that shutters eventually outlast typical blinds, shades or drapes. Because they are typically made from wood or another durable material, they will sit sturdy in your windowsill for many years after purchasing them. Shutters are also made to fit snugly within your window frame, requiring little movement aside from opening and shutting the wooden slats.
Shutters are in!
With more and more people looking to shutters for a new twist to their home décor, shutters have actually become more stylish than ever at this point in time. Home décor trends can last for years, so installing brand new shutters inside will not only add a hip new touch to your home, but could also increase the value of the house when it comes time to sell.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama called on Washington to work together in his State of the Union address Tuesday night and lawmakers crossed the aisle to sit with each other in a show of bipartisanship.
But reaction to the speech from Arizona's congressional contingent still split mostly along party lines.
"I liked it. I liked the idea about investing in our people. I liked the idea about a fairness in our tax code, everybody shares the burden," said Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Tucson. "I really liked when he said, 'I am not going to let us go back to the policies that got us here.'"
Rep. Trent Franks, R-Glendale, on the other hand, said he was not sure the speech "has any positive dimension for Arizona."
"He (Obama) said a lot of wonderful things. The notion that he quoted Lincoln and that the government should only do for the people what they can't do for themselves," Franks said. "But that's like Elmer Fudd starting a rabbit protection agency. It's just completely antithetical to everything he's ever done."
Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Flagstaff, said bipartisanship needs to work in both directions, noting the president's vow to move forward on his agenda "either with us or he'll do it without Congress."
"I think that's a dangerous comment," said Gosar, who did not attend the speech but watched from back in Arizona. Gosar said he felt it was more important to spend time with constituents than attend what he likened to a campaign speech.
"Once again, it's filled with promises and bigger government and more spending which is something that we ... cannot afford," Gosar said. "It still does not address that we are in grave condition economically. We need a government that works with us, not dictating to us."
The president's address, his third, ran an hour and 10 minutes and was interrupted repeatedly by applause - mostly from Democratic members at the joint session of Congress.
His "Blueprint for an America Built to Last" touched on broad themes of economic strength, energy independence and financial parity.
"Think about the America within our reach: A country that leads the world in educating its people. An America that attracts a new generation of high-tech manufacturing and high-paying jobs," he said.
"A future where we're in control of our own energy, and our security and prosperity aren't so tied to unstable parts of the world ... An economy built to last, where hard work pays off, and responsibility is rewarded," Obama said.
The president noted successes in Iraq and against al Qaeda in the last year, and said the economy is returning. But he called for a renewal of America's manufacturing base, promised to target businesses that move profits offshore and to crack down on countries that infringe on U.S. intellectual property and do not engage in fair and open markets.
Obama also called for comprehensive immigration reform, saying his administration was cracking down on illegal immigration and that opponents of further reform "are out of excuses." That is particularly true of immigrants who grow up here after being brought here as children, he said.
"Send me a law that gives them the chance to earn their citizenship. I will sign it right away," he said to applause.
Franks said comprehensive reform is "what the Republicans have been saying for years." Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Mesa, agreed that reform is needed but that "we got to have more border security first."
Gosar looked past immigration reform to Operation Fast and Furious, the failed Justice Department gun-trafficking investigation. He called it "inappropriate" to talk about reform while "we've used Mexican lives as collateral, we've used American lives as collateral."
"To jump to the DREAM Act ... well, you've gotta secure our borders to be able to do that," Gosar said.
But Grijalva said it is past time for the country to move on immigration reform and the DREAM Act, which gives a path to citizenship under some circumstances for immigrants brought here illegally as children.
"I'm glad he brought it up," Grjalva said. "He said if you're not going to do anything about comprehensive reform because of divisions in this Congress, then let's do something for the 100,000 ... that have so much to contribute to America."
Rep. Ed Pastor, D-Phoenix, said he was impressed by Obama's call for Congress and the nation to pull together and for everyone to do their part to move the country forward.
"Everybody needs to feel a little bit of the pain, but everybody needs to contribute a little bit. That's what makes this country great," Pastor said.
"We need to rein in our deficit, but we need to invest in the future," said Pastor, who thought the speech - the 20th he has heard as a member of Congress - "struck chords" that will resonate with Americans.
Pastor agreed with Obama that, with wars winding down overseas, it's possible and preferable for the country to invest back home.
But Flake, in a prepared statement released immediately after the speech, said it did not do enough to reduce the "crippling debt to the next generation."
If there was one area that both sides could agree on, it was the uplifting presence of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Tucson, who was grievously wounded in a shooting spree just weeks before the 2011 address. She returned this week for what will be her last speech as a member of Congress - she is scheduled to resign Wednesday to focus on her recovery.
Giffords sat between Flake and Grijalva, a bow to last year's address when the two men sat next to an empty seat that would have been hers.
Flake said it was "certainly nice to sit with Gabby Giffords. It was much better than having the empty chair next to us last year."
"That was beautiful. I'm so thankful she was here" Franks said. "That was the highlight of the night without a doubt."
But even that moment could not completely skirt party lines.
"She (Giffords) was engaged in the whole speech, and her and I were cheering him (Obama) on," Grijalva said.
"Flake wasn't cheering him on that often, but we were cheering him on," he said with a laugh.
Cronkite News Service reporters Salvador Rodriguez, Stephanie Snyder and Dustin Volz contributed to this report.

Hello All! I've been a lurker for over a year. I'm new to home ownership. I've been reading and learning a lot about different things. I live in north Louisiana. When I first moved here, the trees in the middle of my yard were beautiful. I moved here October 2014. The flowers bloomed shortly after I moved here. They were so beautiful! I don't know a thing about trees, so the blooms were unexpected. The tree is an evergreen. The flowers are pink and white I think. One of the trees looks like it's dying. I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm not sure if I'm suppose to prune, fertilize or water it. I think it may have started to look like that around last summer. There are also trees or shrubs, beside my patio. One looks like it dying. I'm really not sure what I'm doing (or not doing) wrong. Please help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If they also sport blue berries, then they're probably invasive Privets. Should probably be eradicated to help halt their spread and replaced with something else nicer. There are TONS of better options here! :) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Privet
No it doesn't have blue berries or white flowers like that. I wish I would have taken a picture while it was in bloom. |
It's hard to see - are the leaves opposite one another on the stem, are alternately arranged? |
I'll try taking better pictures tomorrow after work. |

Pages is easy on the iPad
Pages for iPad may not be as sophisticated as other desktop word processing apps, but packs plenty of punch when you just want a way to produce nice-looking documents on the go.
Pages for iPad may not be as sophisticated as other desktop word processing apps, but it packs plenty of punch when you just want a way to produce nice looking documents on the go. After only a few minutes playing around with the controls, we were able to create documents with stylized text, imported images, tables, and graphs, and make formatting changes on the fly, all using the touch-screen keyboard. The program comes with several common templates to start from including standard letters, letters with photos, resume layouts, project reports, and many more. With Apple's keyboard dock connected, Pages performed much like a word processor on a desktop computer, with the one major difference of using the touch screen, rather than a mouse, to perform formatting and other file management actions.
Pages offers several text formatting options, but it's not immediately obvious where to find them. Changing standard heading and text sizes requires that you highlight the text in question, touch the "i" button at the top of the screen, then scroll through the available options. Fonts can be changed using the same menu, but you'll need to scroll to the bottom to select Text Options do change fonts, font size, and text color for your selection. Clearly, we like that the options are available, but would have liked a dedicated button on the main interface for choosing global style options like these.
While Pages for iPad doesn't have as many features as a desktop word processor, the features it does have are both useful for writing on the go and smart. A button in the top part of the interface lets you bring in images, tables, and graphs with only a few touches of your finger. Once placed, you can resize an image and the text automatically wraps around it on the fly. A two-finger touch lets you rotate the image so you can make your document look exactly the way you want. Similarly, once a table is placed, you can add columns or rows and edit the title fields to your specs all with a few touches of the screen. Graphs offer the same smart functionality found in iWork for the desktop, letting you double-tap a part of the graph to edit the spreadsheet from where the data is drawn, changing the visual representation of the data in your document automatically. Pages comes with auto spell check and document edge guides to make sure your work is error free and fits within standard document sizes, but each of these can be turned off in the settings if your work requires a more customized approach.
When you're done with your project in Pages, you only have a couple of options for what to do with your document. You can send the document via e-mail, share the document on iWork.com (registration with Apple required), or export your work in Pages format, PDF, or Microsoft's DOC format. The iPad sadly does not locate nearby printers, but if you are connected to iTunes, you can quickly export your document to your desktop and finish the job there.
Overall, we think Pages is an excellent word processor for the iPad, with just enough features to make great looking documents wherever you are. Though it is not as complex as desktop word processors, the features offered are perfect for when you need to work on the go, with the one drawback of not being able to locate nearby printers. In any case, for word processing on the iPad, Pages is the app to beat.

3 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)
J.C. Penney
Nearest Resistance: $16
Nearest Support: $14
Catalyst: Credit Rebuttal
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Shares of retail giant J.C. Penney ( JCP) are finding some buoyancy again after dropping double digits in yesterday's session. The trigger was news that commercial lender CIT Group was starting to cut off credit to some of Penney's suppliers -- a major vote of concern for JCP's ability to pay its bills. Management refuted the claims today, boosting shares by 2.5%. This stock is still down considerably on the week. Penney's drop is less concerning than it would be if shares had dropped below an important technical level. Instead, $14 still looks like strong support in JCP. That's not to say that shares look especially bullish from here -- the stock is still in a downtrend since its May highs. Even so, it doesn't look like the floor is going to fall out from here.

Sheer Spring Flowers
Perfect for a wedding, Mother's Day, or just springtime decoration, these elegant Sheer Spring Flowers, from Debbie Buckland, are easy to make and look beautiful in a bunch or by themselves. These sheer flowers are perfect for bouquets or hair clips, too! While these flowers are a beautiful lavender blue, you can make them in any color you'd like...and an arrangement of colors would look great on your Easter table!
- Sheer white fabric
- Stampin up! Re-inkers or other re-inker you prefer (I used tempting turquoise)
- Flower stamens – spotlight stores or craft stores
- DMC thread that matches your chosen colour (I used 392)
- Fiskars Micro tip Scissors
- Small wide flat lid that fits your flower and some water
- Cut out three flowers. I used quicKutz cookie cutter dies nesting flowers.
- Put 4 drops of re-inker in the lid and put a bit of water in it and mixed it then put the flowers in the ink to colour them – rest them on a stain resistant surface then transfer into a towel to dry naturally. (blotting takes out the color) also do the stamens if desired. 4 for each flower is good.
- Let dry for about 30 minutes.
- Stack your flowers and find the middle then snip a small hole.
- Fold stamens in half and poke them through the hole in the flowers.
- Now get out your thread and secure the stamens in the flower by poking through the needle between the stamens and wrapping around.
- Now to alter the actual first petal neat the stamens poke your needle half way through the petal and then through the middle of the flower. Pull firmly but not too much. This scrunched the petal a bit.
- Now tie a knot in the thread and finish it off.
- You have finished the flower!
- Keep repeating for as many flowers as desired. Then enjoy them by putting them on your favorite projects.

Hello. Electrician told me my panel has bad shape ,no ground ,etc and need to be replaced.Just panel,no breaker box.For 425$ with labor. Hi is right? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Wed, Dec 4, 13 at 11:02
What does he allege is wrong with it? The panel itself doesn't look like there is anything particularly wrong with it. 100A may be cutting it a little thin on service, but there's more to upgrading service than just replacing the panel. That being said, I do note several issues here. 1. I'd vacuum or otherwise clean out all the crud from the bottom. It's unworkmanlike, and can lead to corrosion and other issues in the future. 2. It is not proper to ground branch circuits (or just about anything else) by putting the wires under the panel mounting screws (bottom of the second picture). 3. It appears to be a GE panel, it should not have a CH breakers in it (there seem to be a handful). Conversely if it were a CH panel, it should not have GE breakers. 4. It's hard for me to tell which wires are going to the breakers for sure, and eyeball wire gauge from a photo, but it appears some of the 20A beakers (like the second from the top on the left side) are feeding 14G wire. |

This panel looks like there is a LOT wrong with it! 1st: If this is the Main Distribution Panel, then WHERE is the main bonding jumper (Screw)? 2nd: Why are there 2 grounded conductors (ie 'neutrals' under the same 'main' lug? 3rd: Where is/are the Grounding Electrode Conductor(s) that are supposed to go from the MDP (Main Distribution Panel) to the grounding electrodes and grounding electrode system? 4th: Why are Equipment Grounding Conductors attached to the mounting screws of the panel box? (Anyone who can't see tis problem is either no electrician or is BLIND!) Unless someone can make a case to the contrary, I'm with your electrician on this one: The existing panel is not even close to compliant, is unsafe, and needs to be replaced. |
Thanks. But what about breakers? He don't wont to replace it. |
If he does a completely new panel, I would have him change all the breakers to new ones also. It would be pretty stupid to install a totally new panel and use the old breakers in my opinion. Personally I wouldn't use a GE panel either, but that's just my preference. If you're looking to save cost, keep the existing panel and breakers, but add what's needed to make it compliant/safe, (ground bar, bonding jumper, etc...) A panel is basically just a shell that holds everything. Unless your bussing is totally FUBAR (which I doubt) you can save yourself the money and just add what's needed to this one. |

The question is what's wrong with the panel no that's wrong with the idiot who has been installing/modifying the circuits. Some of the things Manhattan and I pointed out are obvious, some are just guesses because it's hard to see where the wires go based solely on the two photos. Suffice it to say the panel needs work even if not outright replaced. If what you are saying the plastic part that separates the breakers from the case is cracked so that you can no longer insert the screw to hold it securely in place, then he may indeed be correct. While GE isn't my first choice, there's nothing wrong with GE panels. Panels sometimes tend to be a regional thing, while QO and CH you can pretty much find anywhere, BR, GE, etc... tends to be a bit regional in usage. I kind of like the GE skinny breaker idea better than Square D's tandem approach. |

Manhattan: Not all "main panels" have the bonding screw. Mine sure has hell doesn't (and is not permitted to). It only needs it if it is the service disconnect. In my case, the service disconnect is out at the meter. I suspect that's where the apparent missing ground/bonds you are expecting are as well. This also seems to use armored cable so there aren't a whole lot of ground wires for the branch circuits kicking around inside the panel. I already pointed out that the ones connected to the mounting screws were bogus (no matter what they are coming from). |
A decent electrician can make this panel safe in 2 hours plus materials. - install a bond screw (if service equipment) - install a ground bar - separate grounds and neutrals (if not service equipment) - relocate the doubled up white neutral from the main neutral lug to the neutral bar - install a grounding electrode conductor to water and ground rod (if service equipment) - change out any breakers not of the same manufacture as the panel - maybe a couple other odds and ends There is nothing wrong with this panel shown in the pics (short of burned buss or other hidden problems) that would warrant a replacement. It just needs some professional tweaking. It was probably Mr.Quick electric out to scam another unsuspecting customer. |

I think what he is saying if I can understand the followup is the plastic piece that backs up the bus bars is cracked down near the bottom (to the point that the mounting screw has no place to go). Look at the second picture. The electrician is proposing swapping out the "insides". There's really not any grounds to relocate. Other than the two wires that are under the mounting screws for some reason, there seems to be a lack of grounding conductors but it looks like some sort of armored cable was used so that's not unexpected. |
ronnatalie said: "the plastic piece that backs up the bus bars is cracked down near the bottom" I missed that. Yeah, that is a problem only solved with new guts. Unfortunate but true. |

I'm onto my 2nd pot of this. I love it. It smells very lemon zesty. It's kind of expensive for its size but it lasts a long time due to its solid balm consistency and having to only use a thin smear of it for a single application. Will buy again, and again.

I'm a huge fan of Burt's Bees, but this is one product I don't love. I had a small tin from a sample pack. It's thick and greasy, but not nearly as greasy as some other Burt's Bees hand cremes. I like the smell - light and lemony - but I felt like it honestly didn't moisturize well. After applying at night, my hands and nails look nice. The next morning, my hands were back to looking dry and cracked. I tried applying this for a week straight, and saw no improvement. There are definitely better moisturizers - even ones made by Burt's Bees.
I paid six dollars and some change for this at Ulta after reading the good reviews here and on the nail board. I wouldn't have called it a cream at all because it has a greasy consistency, like thickened chilled coconut oil. Despite this, it is a good product with a nice lemon scent. I apply a thin layer to my cuticles and rub it in after washing my hands and moisturizing with a hand lotion. When I do this consistently, my cuticles are soft and free of cracks.
Basically the best item I own. I hate dry cuticles. I apply this before bed. It really works for me. You can also use it like a lotion anywhere you have dry skin areas..like ankles or elbows. Very moisturizing.
Love this stuff for overnight moisturizing! I love the smell but wouldnt recommend this for during the day because it is kind of sticky. I keep it in my nightstand and it works!
This is a great cuticle cream. I have used Lush Lemony Flutter before as well. I like the texture of this one before than Lemony Flutter. This seems to sink into my cuticles more than Lemony Flutter. My cuticles get pretty dry in the winter, and I like having this at my desk during the day and apply. It feels like a mini manicure in the middle of the day. I find it quite relaxing. As long as I apply at least once a day, my cuticles stay healthy looking.
I really like the lemon scent, but I'm also a fan of citrus scents. If you don't like the scent, it goes away fairly fast.

I really dislike the smell and texture of this. It smells exactly like Country Time Lemonade Mix. I'm generally not a fan of lemon scents, so I'm particularly sensitive to this. I don't like how this feels on my fingers. It's tacky and greasy at the same time. Thankfully, this absorbs pretty quickly. Even though I apply it before bed, I usually can't stand the feeling and put on hand lotion after the cuticle cream has soaked in. My cuticles aren't particularly dry, but I'm prone to hang nails. This does moisturize the area around my nails, but I feel I would do better with a cuticle oil of some kind. I can tell the pot will last forever, so I will try to use it up.

This product is amazing. My cuticles are so soft after i put this on. So i think in terms of how good the product is there are no questions BUT....the smell is a little weird although you can only smell it if you have your nails like right next to your nose so it is ok anyway.
There was one thing that i didnt like and that is why i gave it a 2 on the packaging quality, because it could be so hard to open because i have the tiny tin.
but i would buy again for sure.
Love love love this!! Been working hard to stop my horrible nail biting habit and picking at my cuticles and I must say this has really helped. I put it on whenever I feel like picking and my cuticles smell great and look nice.
Love the smell and how it makes my cuticles look. I don't consider it expensive, as this pot lasts a long time - use mine daily, had it since may 2012 and still have over a quarter left.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It really works on my extremely dry fingers suffering from detergents. I use it every night before sleep, allow the thick ointment to work into my skin and cuticles. The next day I would wake up with baby soft hands. Love it. The lemon smell could be a little disturbing at first coz the resemblance to lemon-scented air fresheners, but I to used to it soon.

New Orleans Mardi Gras Louisiana, is a Carnival celebration well-known throughout the world. The New Orleans Carnival season, with roots in preparing for the start of the Christian season of Lent, starts after Twelfth Night, on Epiphany. It is a season of parades, balls (some of them masquerade balls), and king cake parties. It has traditionally been part of the winter social season; at one time "coming out" parties for young women at débutante balls were timed for this season.
Celebrations are concentrated for about two weeks before and through Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras in French), the day before Ash Wednesday. Usually there is one major parade each day (weather permitting); many days have several large parades. The largest and most elaborate parades take place the last five days of the season. In the final week of Carnival, many events large and small occur throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities. The parades in New Orleans are organized by Carnival krewes.
The celebration of Mardi Gras was brought to Louisiana by early French settlers. The first record of the holiday being celebrated in Louisiana was at the mouth of the Mississippi River in what is now lower Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, on March 3, 1699. Iberville, Bienville, and their men celebrated it as part of an observance of Catholic practice. Each year the Mardi Gras (or Carnival) season starts on January 6, also known as Twelfth Night. The Twelfth Night Revelers, one of Carnival's oldest Krewes, holds a masked ball each year to mark the occasion. Many of Carnival's oldest groups such as the Elves of Oberon and the High Priests of Mithras hold masked balls, but do not parade in public.
The parade season starts off some three weekends before Mardi Gras Day with the Krewe du Vieux parade. There is usually at least one parade every night starting two Fridays before Mardi Gras. Uptown, the Zulu parade rolls first, followed by the Rex parade, which both end on Canal Street. A number of smaller parading organizations with "truck floats" follow the Rex parade.
Numerous smaller parades and walking clubs also parade around the city. The Jefferson City Buzzards, the Lyons Club, Pete Fountain's Half Fast Walking Club and the KOE all start early in the day Uptown and make their way to the French Quarter with at least one jazz band. At the other end of the old city, the Society of Saint Anne journeys from the Bywater through Marigny and the French Quarter to meet Rex on Canal Street. The Pair-O-Dice Tumblers rambles from bar to bar in Marigny and the French Quarter from noon to dusk. Various groups of Mardi Gras Indians, divided into uptown and downtown tribes, parade in their finery.
