I've got a modern house outside of Chicago, and I'd like to make my landscape modern as well (not prairie). My first idea is a Japanese Maple, but the site for it has unrelenting afternoon sun -- a straight West exposure. I also thought pagoda dogwood, but I believe that's a shade tree. And Nandina isn't meant for zone 5. Any ideas? I really like horizontal branching and a lacy look. I have some Viburnum mariesii, but I don't think they'd get tall enough. I need 8-15'.
Thanks for any help! |

I also live in Chicagoland and after losing three Japanese Maples to the northwest wind, I tried Sambuca both 'Sutherland Gold' and 'Black Lace'. Sutherland is now four years old and ten feet high - Black Lace is two years old and I've kept that one shorter and shrubbier because I need the shade in that spot for hosta. They are actually giant shrubs but I've been pruning the heck out of them and they're gorgeous - look just like JM's. Westy |

Maybe it's the wind or something else, but I have multiple Japanese maples in sunrise til about 7pm sunlight here in Virginia. Once they got established, there's hardly been any scalding on the leaves. Warren |

As of Thursday, August 1, 2013

Gwinnett Daily Post
ATHENS — The initial USA Today coaches poll was released shortly before Georgia head football coach Mark Richt addressed the local media Thursday at Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall.
And the way he sees it, the Bulldogs' No. 5 preseason ranking make for some lofty expectations that are, well, pretty much expected.
"I think that's where we are on (my ballot). We're five or six on mine," Richt said.
How long Georgia, which finished last season ranked No. 7 in the BCS standings and as high as No. 4 in the coaches poll, stays in the top five will likely be determined very quickly.
The Bulldogs face three teams ranked in the top 13 of the preseason poll — No. 7 South Carolina, No. 8 Clemson and No. 13 LSU — in the first four weeks of the season, beginning with their Aug. 31 opener at Clemson.
So, it was apparent to every coach and player that everyone had to get right to work once they took the field for the first practice later Thursday.
"Because of where these teams are ranked in the preseason, that's probably why you're asking the question," Richt responded when asked about the opening gauntlet. "But every single year, that first SEC game is a monster. … If you lose that game, you've got to run the table, basically. No matter who that next SEC game, it's a monster. … So, they're all really, really big.
"I've been thinking a lot about (Clemson). I always think about our first two opponents than anybody else because that's who we game plan for in our offseason. Before our coaches go home for summer vacation, we like to have those first two games already game-planned and ready to go."
The players are just as aware that they will know a lot about how the team's 2013 campaign will go by the time that brutal early stretch ends Sept. 28 against LSU at Sanford Stadium.
And the fact the Bulldogs pretty much had to run the table to win the SEC East after an early-season loss at South Carolina a year ago gives them confidence they can be up to this season's challenge, as well.
"I know we're excited for the challenge," said quarterback Aaron Murray, who bypassed a shot at this spring's NFL draft to return for his senior season after setting school records by throwing for a 3,893 yards, 36 touchdowns and a 174.84 QB rating last season. "We have a great group of older guys who've been through a lot. We came in and were 6-7 our first year, then 10-4, and 12-2. We've been through it all, so we have a lot of experience, and I think we've done a great job of leading the younger guys and making sure everyone's ready to go, and understanding how important every game is."
Much of that experience will be on the offense, where the Bulldogs return all but one starter from a last year.
Among those returners are Murray, the potent sophomore running back tandem of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall — who combined to run for 2,144 yards and 25 TDs as freshmen — and an offensive line that is expected to feature no fewer than two former Gwinnett grads in Wesleyan's David Andrews at center and Buford's Dallas Lee at guard, and could also include another at times in Buford grad Kolton Houston.
And while expectations for the offense, which averaged 37.8 points per game last year, are lofty, Marshall says the neither he nor their teammates are taking anything for granted as preseason practice begins.
"Expectation-wise, we want to be the best offense in America," said Marshall, who was second on the team behind only Gurley with 759 yards and 8 TDs a year ago. "That's always the expectation and your goal, but obviously, we've got to start from (day) one. It's not like just because we (had) a good system last year, it automatically up there (again). (Offensive Coordinator Mike) Bobo and Coach Richt always talk about it. We're not close to where we were last year yet. We've got to work to get there."
Georgia's defense may have even more work to do during the preseason, with only four returning starters from last year's stout unit that gave up an average of only 19.6 points per game.
Having lost such stars as Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree, John Jenkins, Shawn Williams, Sanderson Commings, Cornelius Washington and Bacarri Rambo to the NFL draft, the Bulldogs will have to rely on some new faces this year.
And Richt said he will have an eye on several newcomers throughout preseason practice, including South Gwinnett grad and true freshman linebacker Reggie Carter, who raised some eyebrows after graduating high school early and enrolling in time for spring practice, and then finishing second on the depth chart heading into the fall.
"I'm not concerned, like fretting that we don't have an answer for any position across the board," Richt said of his defense. "I'm more curious to see just how quickly the entire defense can jell, and just watch them perform. It's just like, I got a pretty good taste of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall before we played a game (last year). I'm going to get a pretty good taste of what our defense looks like before we play a game. But until you get in a game, you really aren't sure how everybody's going to react under that kind of game pressure.
"Reggie's going to get a lot of reps. He's starting out as a No. 2 linebacker, but he'll get plenty of work and plenty of opportunity to prove that he deserves to play. Right now, he's still fighting for playing time, and he's fighting for a starting position, as well. The big thing for a true freshman is if you can't win the starting job, and I'm not saying (Carter) can't, but just earn enough of the coaches' faith and confidence that you get in the game. Then when you get in the game, it's just going to extend your playing time."

Going to use this version though
Holy snap! That's some talented stuff! Very nice! So when is it hitting the market? I can already see myself driving it =D

I am worried about the soil being waterlogged. I would take it out the pot and improve the drainage and squeeze the roots to get rid of excess water. With the improved drainage (stones, vermiculite, gravel or whaterver) and put the Acer back in the same pot. It will not be growing until spring and a quick way to kill them is waterlogging.
I have a wooden greenhouse with polycarbonate glazing. It is warmer than a metal frame and glass glazed greenhouse. You can hang things like insulation directly onto wooden frames. Polycarbonate as double glazed offers better insulation in winter and as the glazing is slightly opaque, you get the light but not full on glaze that glass offers.
Size depends on what you want to grow. I plant to dig down in my GH to get extra height and that also offers extra insulation.
I have not had any problems with GardeningExpress. I do not like paying £8 P&P but that is my choice of using them or not.
T&M plants tend to be small, too small for my liking and they often do not tell you the size of pot/plant that you should expect. Any problems have always been quickly resolved. There is no such thing as 'free'. You are paying £5-6 for the bulbs and a little for postage. In a GC you would get them cheaper! If you fall for their advertising then caveat emptor.
J Parkers - no issues and for bulbs they are very good. Plants are much larger than T&M and all have thrived.
I tend to use specialist seed and plant suppliers, all of whom I would recommend and would be happy to name but am not sure if this is the right place.
Keep it in the pot until spring, as you want to avoid overpotting with its problems of root rot. It would actually prefer to go in the ground - it should turn into a lovely tree within 5 years.
They like well draining, damp soil and frost free though are hardy. They do well in wet western Scotland and Ireland and progressively worse the further east you go. They were on sale as they are not as hardy as the normal Cordyline austalis.
Now is fine if you can keep them out of the frosts. They take till Spring to root.
Looks like Mint to me.
What type of Peony do you mean? An herbaceous or tree Peony?
MrsGarden wrote (see)
Primrose have the liquidambar in 5litre pots, 1.5 - 1.8m tall, £29.99, does that sound reasonable?
Reasonable, esp if it includes postage?
Sounds like Sauromatum venosum. There are a few hardy varieties but I would say Sauromatum venosum is the hardiest for me. Apparently the flower smells like rotten flesh for 24 hours during flowering - I havve never detected a smell yet from them.

Excerpted from Family Circle by Susan Braudy. Copyright © 2003 by Susan Braudy. Excerpted by permission of Anchor, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Cast of Characters: Who is the Boudin family circle?
Kathy and Michael's great uncle Louis Boudin, a founder of the socialist party, who despite Lenin's admiration of Louis'interpretation of Marx, disdained Lenin's revolution. Louis walked out of a socialist convention in 1919, never to return because he hated Bolshevik tyranny.
I.F. (Izzy) Stone was the brother-in-law of Leonard Boudin and the leader of the Boudin Family Circle. IZZY was a great man, an activist and mighty wordsmith. He was a fearless fighter and government critic whose independent newsletter was widely respected and remains a standard today. Izzy supported the formation of the state of Israel, but later condemned Israel for its treatment of the Palestine Arabs and advocated a Palestinian State. He formed an impressive committee to fight the victims of Congressional witch hunts for alleged communists. He opposed our intervention in North Korea, noting the gap between the Soviet Union and other communist countries.
Kathy and Michael's father Leonard Boudin, was a civil liberties lawyer and legal warrior who used the Constitution to fight the government and illegal FBI tactics. His clients included Paul Robeson who had been unfairly denied his right to travel by the State Department. Leonard also fought congressional subcommittees for the rights of accused communists in the 1950's. He was the lawyer for anti-war activists such as Philip Berrigan and the world-famous child-care author Dr. Benjamin Spock. Leonard made headlines on behalf of his client Daniel Ellsberg who stole and released the Pentagon Papers study of the Vietnam War which arguably was the last straw in the public outrage. His other clients: Fidel Castro's Cuba, the Socialist Worker party, the Scientology group and Judith Coplon. Leonard Boudin in later years declared himself "a-political", but his job was defending the rights of lefties because he said "the government is so right wing."
Jean Boudin was an idealist, a poet, who wholeheartedly encouraged her husband's crusade on behalf of dissenters of the left. Having suffered a nervous breakdown as a young wife, she rallied and later took charge of supporting Kathy after Leonard's death in 1989.
Michael Boudin is the influential chief justice of the circuit court in Massachusetts. A conservative and the Boudin family rebel, he writes opinions against such issues as affirmative action in the Boston public school. He teaches Constitutional law at Harvard and is the third generation of the Boudin legal dynasty.
David Gilbert is the soft-spoken, gentle-seeming father of Chesa Boudin and former husband of Kathy. He is a man of luminous intelligence who dazzled his professors at Columbia. A liberal who opposed radical action at first, he is now in Attica prison serving a 75 year to life term for the Brinks robbery in Nyack. He refused to defend himself at his trial, because he said that the criminal justice system was unfair to his co-defendents.
Chesa G. Boudin is the son of Kathy Boudin and her former husband David Gilbert. Chesa is a Rhodes scholar and a summa cum laude graduate of Yale. In England he will study the involuntary migrations of people in South America. He was raised by Bernardine Dohrn and her husband Bill Ayers, members of the radical weatherman group. A child with many problems linked to his separation from his birth parents, he has prevailed and became an important advocate for his mother's parole.
Celia Stone Gilbert is Jean's niece, a respected poet, and the wife of Nobelist Walter Gilbert. Celia was a favorite of Jean's.

jerryy commented on the blog post CNN Host Engages in Gatekeeping, Dismisses Key Aspect of Liz Wahl's Resignation in Interview With Her
Hello Jane,
This is a follow up comment (I apologize for being mostly off-topic, although bent sophistry is probably enough to find a connection :) ) about getting TOR to work in your Ubuntu setup. I have found what I think is a better approach* for you to try:
Read though the whole page and let it sink in a bit, the folks there tell you how to get TOR running under Ubuntu as well as getting it to work with browsers and what not -without- you needing to have skills rivaling the best of sysadmins.
* this approach, in essence shows you how to tell your OS to find the software, install it and then keep track of updating it, as long as you let your OS maintain updates in general. You do not have to worry about keeping things updated, nor about how to fix problems with compiling softwares.
jerryy commented on the blog post As FCC Net Neutrality Deadline Approaches, Netflix CEO Accuses Cable Providers of Degrading Services
This is a wild guess, but in looking over the instructions, you may not be running your Ubuntu as an administrator but as a non-privileged user. Doing so makes installing some new softwares tricky.
Try this for the command line instructions…
Download the software, change to the directory and extract the software as the instructions tell you ( up to and including to the tar -xvf stuff).
Then do one line at a time:
sudo make
sudo make installAfter you type in each line hit the carriage return and then wait until the computer finishes and gives you your prompt back before entring the next command. Special note: you will be asked to enter your password to use the sudo command lines, which also means at some point you must have had your account added as having administration priveldges, of you do not, then it is easy enough to get them hit the web and look up how to add to the sudoers file.
Once each line is finished it should tell if if things went well or things broke. After the sudo make install is done, then you should be able to use the software.
jerryy commented on the blog post Not Quite Off Topic: Switch to Linux/Ubuntu
If you can, grab an 8GB SD card and pull a copy of Arch Linux off of the Raspberry Pi website downloads sections. It starts out as a command line os, but one can put LXDE or XFCE or KDE or many others as the desktop and choose between them as they so wish.
The advantage is that Arch is a bit leaner and allows you to use more recent software releases (Debian is more cautious and uses older versions much longer). — Some think the Debian approach is better. But Arch is a bit leaner, Arch + XFCE + Enlightenment + LibreOffice + Gimp + XBMC + music apps + quite a few others takes less than 6 GB of that 8 GB card.

It is counter-intuitive, but if you are going to charge rates based on connection speed, the slower speeds should be the higher priced ones, not the higher speeds. The higher speed connections allow someone to get the file they want and get out of the way of other users in a hurry, so to speak, [...]

That's why I've worked with Just Foreign Policy and the Win Without War coalition (of which MoveOn is a member) to set up a petition at Avaaz calling on Congress to vote no on the war. We want to engage the huge membership of Avaaz, which is worldwide.Can you help us reach Avaaz members with our anti-war message? You can sign and share our petition here:

The Microsoft iinvesting in Dell idea needs watching down the road. This could close off another avenue the open source based software groups (Linux, etc.) use as their get-the-foot-in-the-door.

jerryy commented on the blog post All Your Instagrams Are Belong to Us
Note: IANAL.
"Publishing without copyright notice loses it as well,"
That is not true, but the gist of your thought is on track. You are probably thinking of Trademarks, where you as the holder have to activiely protect the mark.
These may help you:
You do not have to register your copyright to get protection as long as you have some proof you 'created' it, but if you need to pursue legal remedies it needs to be registered so the courts can determine appropriate responses (ie. no registration not much money, registered – some money). I suspect contract lawyers wil have something to chat with judges about on those click-through agreements.

If you want to fight the man by being the man, you can form your company to do similar things like Google or Yahoo or Bing or whomever, but it will take some serious money to get going. This will give you a vague shadow of an idea of what is involved:
but take what you read here with a lot of spoons of salt. To do this as a large scale competitor, non-or-for profit, you will need lots of equipment, some highly educated talent and the means to support them both. You will have to break Google's clout, older computer folks might remember a marketing slogan 'No one got fired for recommending IBM'. IBM ruled the tech world until that clout was ended. Right now, now one gets fired for recommending Google's advertising.
jerryy commented on the blog post Reuters Reporter's Hit Job on a Recent Report on US Drone Strikes in Pakistan
I think you are close to why she is among others that are suddently pouncing on this report… because it is getting some airplay, so to speak, inside the US. News articles about reports like this one from Amnesty International:
have been around for a while, but do not get much notice in the US media. This one from Stanford and NYU is from the home crowd which means folks inside the US will have access to the information.

jerryy commented on the blog post Apple Holding $60 Billion in Offshore Reserves for Ransom
You are mistaken in your claims.
The OS (operating system) is open source, called Darwin, it is free, you can install it on a variety of hardware setups. The GUI (graphical user interface) is what Apple restricts to their own hardware — that makes sure it actually runs on the hardware. Should you really push it, there is a thriving online community (look up Hacintosh) that will show you how to get the GUI part running on generic computers.
The price of the complete OS and GIU package has never been very high, the most any Apple OS and GUI package has cost is $129 — without needing any special phone home license numbers — compare that to the 'generous' terms offered by Microsoft, which are not. Nowadays the complete OS and GUI costs around $49..
Also, your claim about the hardware lockdown is misleading. Open up a Mac Tower computer. Making internal equipment changes does not get easier. Adding memory to any Mac machine that can actually use it is straight forward. Yup the iPhones and iPads are sealed pretty tight, but most folks do not want to open them up. As well as most folks do not want to replace motherboards on their computers, so those are a bit more harder to get at.
Lastly, now pay attention to what is written. the complaints about about the high prices and low quantities were from the older times when Apple had assembly lines here in the US. Not now, then. Long before the idea of unibody computers was even thought of. Now the prices are low and requested quantities are available.
jerryy commented on the blog post Apple Holding $60 Billion in Offshore Reserves for Ransom
Ms. Rosalind, you might want to reread the report you are citing. It mentions Apple twice in the whole thing, first in a chart that lists corporate incomes and second in a line saying that Apple is asking for a repatriation holiday. None of the mentions are connected to the paragraph you quote.
In 2010, Apple paid an effective 24% US income tax (they paid $4.53 billion in US taxes. In 2011, they paid $8.52 billion in US taxes) much higher rate than many other US companies, especially upper income US companies.
The income Apple has outside the US comes from selling products outside the US.
Apple employs quite a few seasonal, part time and full time employees in the US abd also creates quite a few indirect jobs as well. (Yes, they create quite a few direct and indirect jobs in other countries as well, but they do it here as well.)
btw, GE has over 90 billion parked outside the US.
This is a weird attack on Apple, it used to be when Apple had assembly lines in the US, folks complained that the prices were 'too high' and 'not available in large quantities' so business buyers would not buy Apple's products in large quantities, except for graphics departments.

I moved to OK in July 02...boy I love it here....Still triing to learn how to make some of the foods from here....got the ole Frito chili pie down pat now...But I got a couple people who love very hot spicey things so what is the hottest pepper that I can get??? would love to grow some here but don't know what I'm looking for. Thanks |

Well, Sconfer (sp?) is probably the best source of info on growing peppers here in OK. I just moved here last year, but if the first year is any indication-this is the place to grow hot peppers. Everything I grew did wonderfully. The hottest peppers I have personally grown are Habaneros. The other pepper to try that is just a notch below the habanero in hotness is Orange Thai peppers. Tiny, but they pack a whallop. I am trying a new pepper this season, its a polish heirloom called Cyklon. Check out the postings this summer and I'll be sure to let you know how these do. Sorry I can't offer many of these for trade, but I'm still about a year away from growing out all desired varieties. If you want any of the Ciliegia Piccante seeds however, I have plenty that were sent me in a trade. I'm more than happy to spread the wealth! |

At Least When It Comes to Clutter
My thoughts have been centered on what it means to be clear about the direction of your life – all kinds of clutter.
I've talked about the turning point in my life, when I finally got that no amount of stuff will make you happy, and I'm betting when some of you hear the word "clutter," you think of an episode of Hoarders or Clean House or crazy cat ladies. You envision closets stuffed with a century of clothes and "Mount Wash-More" in the laundry room. You imagine guests arriving, but being unable to walk into a room because of crap on the floor and piles of papers and dishes on the counters.
This is clutter in the big sense of the word.
And ten years ago, my world could be described in that way. If we were having guests, there was an hour of panic as things were stuffed into closets and under beds.
When I learned to love myself – the real me – I began to shed clutter and get the bulk of my physical world in order. As my physical world began to shape up, my doubts about my purpose on this planet began to shape up too.
Life crystallizes when your physical space is in order.
But that isn't the only clutter I had in my mind's eye when I was creating this course.
"Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor—it's anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living." — Peter Walsh
We live a pretty uncluttered life, in the big sense of the word. My bed is made daily. An unexpected visitor could pop over and I wouldn't be embarrassed. In fact, I could quickly produce a snack and a beverage without needing to dig around for it.
Nevertheless, there is a reason I chose "streamline" as my bonus word for the first three months of 2012. My days are not as productive as they could be, and much of that productivity loss is due to clutter in the smaller sense of the word.
The last quarter of 2011 was busy for JB and I. We made three trips to Chicago, spent a week in New York, and a long weekend in DC. We went to holiday parties and had a houseguest. We also completely redecorated the dining room, the living room, the family room, and breakfast nook. In all that busy-ness, I fell out of many of the routines I have in place that keep me organized.
Papers didn't get filed and new files weren't set up for all the new purchases. When I went to pull a pair of scissors out of the "junk drawer" in the kitchen, I found receipts, pens, gum but no scissors. I baked four cakes and twelve dozen cookies in a week, but had to dig around for the cinnamon – a must in everything I bake.
And I don't even want to mention the disorder in my closet.
Some folks may see these pockets of small clutter as no big deal and part of living an average life. Who cares, right? Everything I mentioned is in a place that can be hidden away if an unexpected visitor popped by.
But what if I told you that each pocket of clutter I am accepting as "normal" was what was really distracting me from my best work?
Our minds are creative creatures. That old lizard brain wants to keep us safe and unchanged, and clutter helps keep us from stepping into our best possible living.
Big clutter and small clutter – this is a case where size really doesn't matter.
Everything has energy: the cup we drink our coffee out of, the outfit we wear to work, our beautifully made bed and the stack of laundry. We need the energy in our lives to focus on our work, for our dreams, for challenges and for staying healthy.
Every time we encounter something in our world that is undone, incomplete, or overdue, our energy to focus on what matters the most is drained.
We need to pay attention to what we are telling our subconscious minds when we hold on to clutter. Every time you open a drawer and have to look for something, your mind refocuses. It turns to the task of finding scissors and distracts you from writing that chapter of your book, that blog post, that sales letter or the perfect line of a song.
When energy is consistently flowing out to things that don't really matter or to things that distract you, you have to play tricks in order to get by. You have to "get more" things to keep your energy up.
I could decide to "get organized" and to do it all NOW. I would start the day with a couple of back-to-back Venti Mochas from Starbucks, launch into hyper mode, and run around like a crazy woman clearing my spaces. I've done that before and ended up somewhat organized. I also end up exhausted and no clearer in my thinking beyond "clean".
Or. I can do what I know works – and what 30 Days to Clarity: Clutter Busting Edition can do for you: get things streamlined, de-cluttered, and organized in small, steady doses.
This approach allows us to slowly add routines and build a momentum of organization, without the exhaustion at the end.
It also adds to – instead of draining – that precious energy.
Getting clear in your life by dealing with your clutter – big clutter and small clutter – will allow you to direct your precious energy towards creating the clear path to a life lived in the zone.
How 30 Days to Clarity: Clutter Busting Works
I created the Clutter Busting Course to help you slowly clear your physical spaces. Each day of the class, an email will be delivered each day to your inbox with a task for the day to help you shed physical clutter. Each task will take less than 30 minutes – some will take less than five.
- With each daily email, you'll begin to create an environment that is rich and supportive of your dreams.
- I'll also be sharing some tips for getting out of the house each morning with less drama.
- There will be bonus tips on prepping your home for the holidays – and guests!
- And we'll have tips, too, on how to set up a system so that you won't miss important bills.
No matter how organized – or disorganized – you may be feeling now, by the end of the course, you'll feel worlds lighter. It also promises to be a fun, effective and affordable way to make space in your life for what matters most.
Clutter Busting is running one more time in 2014 beginning Sunday, October 26, 2014.

The Fire Next Door: Mexico's Drug Violence and the Danger to America
Since the Mexican government initiated a military offensive against its country's powerful drug cartels in December 2006, some 50,000 people have perished and the drugs continue to flow. The growing violence has created concerns that Mexico could become a failed state, and U.S. political leaders also worry that the corruption and violence is seeping across the border into the United States.
In his compelling new book, Ted Galen Carpenter details the growing horror overtaking Mexico and explains how the current U.S.-backed strategies for trying to stem Mexico's drug violence have been a disaster. Boldly conveyed in The Fire Next Door, the only effective strategy is to defund the Mexican drug cartels by abandoning the failed drug prohibition policy, thereby eliminating the lucrative black-market premium and greatly reducing the financial resources of the drug cartels.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 12, 2013
Ezra Firestone's Brown Box Formula has just been released to the public sending shock waves through the E-commerce community and drawing an investigative review from HonestyFirstReviews.com's Tiffany Hendricks.
"E-commerce has always been a hot topic among online marketers," reports Hendricks. "But, due to a few recent changes to the marketplace, the online physical goods market has just become more attractive than ever. Our website visitors are demanding E-commerce training and we are always looking for solutions we can feel good about recommending, so when we were informed about the launch of Firestone's Brown Box Formula we were excited to review the program for our readers."
Hendricks' Brown Box Formula review explains that the course provides customers with step by step instructions for "carbon copying" Firestone's E-commerce business plans. This includes information on finding the best products, how to "load up" one's products on to popular sales channels like Amazon, and how to launch a new E-commerce store in less than a day.
"In the past setting up an E-commerce store took a lot of time and money," says Hendricks. "This was something that even savvy, successful business owners struggled with because of all the complicated technology involved. In our review of Firestone's course we discussed the fact because of recent technological breakthroughs, this isn't even an issue anymore. Nowadays using pre-built E-commerce platforms one can have a fully functional E-commerce store up and running for about 29 dollars."

I would like to see my App in Full Resolution. I'm writing app in html5, javascript, C# and XAML on Windows Phone 8. I'm using Canvas. When I placed image in canvas in size of 472x472 (the screen resolution should be 480x800) it doesn't fit into screen (it goes out of the screen). I figured out, that screen is scrolled: when I touch the screen i can scroll it and see rest of hidden image. But i would like to see whole 480x800 px application, without scroll. Is it possible?

Mark Sanchez in Toms River Helping Hurricane Victims
Posted by Erik Manassy on Nov 6, 2012 in Main, Player Tweets | 0 comments
Mark Sanchez tweeted today that he was going to Toms river to help the NJ residents of that area from Hurricane Sandy. I saw many tweets that the New York Giants sent relief in dollars ($500,000.00) as well as players visiting.
I hope Mark Sanchez wasn't the ONLY Jet to volunteer and it would be in bad form if the organization didn't donate dollars.

Great fit & size
My head is about 22-23inchs in circumference and this hat fits me pretty well. Just enough for a bit of sag in the back without the floppiness. For reference it's thinner than the coal frena (almost by half), a bit wider, & stretchier.

The fitness instructors, personal trainers, and nutritionists at ClubSport wield the foundations of total-body wellness: detailed knowledge and cutting-edge equipment.

ClubSport also transforms bodies outside the fitness studio and weight room. A self-described resort-style aquatic center features several lap and exercise pools where swimmers can fine-tune their breaststrokes and favorite shark calls. At an on-site spa, massage therapists ease muscle tension with modalities ranging from hot stone and prenatal to trigger point and reflexology.

When it comes to describing Kristin Chenoweth, "multitalented" is an understatement. Overlaying a soaring voice with sparkling charisma, Chenoweth won the 1999 Tony for best featured actress in a musical and originated the role of Glinda the Good Witch in the smash Broadway hit Wicked, earning both fame as the definitive incarnation of that character and the legal right to carry an Oz passport. Her forays into television have included an Emmy win for Pushing Daisies, a stint on The West Wing, a guest appearance on Glee, and a starring role in ABC's new comedy GCB. Mixing classically trained control with the ability to call up a folksy twang from her childhood in Oklahoma, Chenoweth regales audiences with heartbreaking ballads and high-energy romps.

Jim, had lots of fun tredding water!! |
Jim- If you want that larger maple that I still have in my yard (same size as that other large one I brought) I'd be happy to dig it out for you- it eventually has to come out anyway- just let me know if you want it and we can coordinate. :) |
Don and I would like to add our thanks for the trade. I swore I wouldn't bring anything home, but somehow ended up with some dahlia tubers anyway! Amazing. Jim, do you want me to have the Arbor Day trees sent to you again this year? Let me know, and if you do, I'll need your address again. Barb |

Many thanks to Jim and everyone! For those who left between 11:00 and 11:30, it stopped raining at 11:32. Sooper-dooper thanks to the Bejoys, Kellycomposter, TreePalm and everyone else with whom I traded. I did end up with a few things that I forgot what they were by the time I got home. But they are wonderfull nonetheless! See you all again in the spring! pj |

Great for taking off makeup w/o irritating/drying out my skin. Gentle enough for my sensitive/oily skin. I like this better than Purpose Face Wash- because its not as drying. I like the pump a lot -it gives just the right amount to use. The price isn't too bad since you are getting a lot of product for $9.99 at Target. I keep coming back to this cleanser. It helps clean my oily/high sebum producing skin.
i think this is the best facial cleanser i have found. i have really sensitive skin, but this never made me breakout. i used to go to a dermatologist and pay $18 for neostrata, but this is so much better for than half of the price.
I neither hate nor love this stuff. My only gripe is that I never feel as if it has rinsed completely off my face.
This is one of my staple summer cleansers. It removes all traces of makeup & oil without overdrying, and doesn't cause irritations or breakouts. The only thing I'm not too keen about is the smell, but I'm getting used to it. It smells like patchouli incense, which is too strong for my taste.
UPDATE: Because of the smell, I now use either the Clean & Clear cleanser for sensitive skin or Beauty Without Cruelty 3% AHA cleanser. Both leave my face clean & soft, and have very light, but pleasant scents.
I am madly inlove with this cleanser! This is the first cleanser I've used that was liquid rather than cloths. It removes all my makeup and my skin has never looked better! I LOVE IT! EDIT: I knew it was too good to be true. After a couple of months of using this, it became way too drying and didn't thoroughly clean my skin. Oh well, maybe I'll try Purpose. continued >>
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
LOVE this-its my staple. i use it twice a day and my oily, acne-prone skin has never been softer. everything else dries me out and stings. this is perfect, recommended by my derm. wont cure your acne, but it is part of the recommended daily maintenance of acne-prone skin.
I LOVE the pump bottle, I love the consistency, and I love the way my skin has evolved since I've started using this cleanser. I've replaced my old holy grail Dior iOD with this. It's cheap and very readily available, in fact the only reason I tried it is because I went on a trip and my iOD exploded in my suitcase and I only had access to a Walgreen's.
I purchased this upon the recommendation of my dermatologist, along with the Cetaphil Bar. I'd told her that the regular Cetaphil wasn't enough for my oily skin. Unfortunately, this cleanser burned as soon as I put it on my face and left my face dry and tight. The smell is very strong too. I just haven't had much luck with the Cetaphil line of products!
So far I love this cleanser! I just switched from Clinique's gel wash (it dried my skin too much!) and I am surprised and pleased. For 6.99, you get eight full ounces of mild, almost scentless, cleanser that removed all of my makeup and left me moisturized instead of dry. I have combo skin and have battle acne since a teenager, and this was recommended by my derm. So good luck ladies, it's worth the try!

Hope you had a fantastic long weekend!
As I mentioned, last week, I went to Veranda Magazine's chic cocktail party where the magazine unveiled the House of Windsor - a showcase house designed and realized by renowned interior designer Windsor Smith. See previous posts for glimpses at the other rooms!
After Windsor designed and had the 8,000 square foot equestrian estate built from the ground up...she and many of her famous decorator friends decorated the rooms. The house is spectacular in my view. So much to see. So many great ideas.
I think my favorite room in the house is the nursery. Go figure. I don't have kids yet I was totally charmed by this room and the detail in the space. Maybe I liked it because it definitely was a baby room but didn't feel cliche in any way, shape or form.
This nursery was designed by Theresa Ghevondian who is a designer working at Windsor's company. Theresa did an amazing job with this room in my view. Simply amazing!
I love the crescent moon shaped bassinet or crib from Kenneth Cobonpue's rattan furniture collection - it is called Le Petite Voyage Crib. The gold wallcovering from Kneedler-Fauchere, the gold changing table and the overall vibe of the room. It works. Modern yet classic. Lots of attention paid to detail. Even with the gold accents...soothing and relaxing. The paint color is Benjamin Moore's White Dove by the way. The built in cabinet shelving is lined with Schumacher's "Jungle Play" wall covering. I love it!
What do you think of this baby room? I'd be interested what you moms have to say about this. Is the room functional enough for a baby? Would the decor work for you?
What a delightful room I think! Wonderful job Theresa.
Once again, as a reminder to those of you in Los Angeles within the next couple of weeks, you can buy tickets to see the House of Windsor in person. It is open until July 17th. I think I am going back next weekend if I can squeeze in a day!
Happy Tuesday!
P.S. Today, I'm dealing with a traffic ticket (oy), going to the dentist (oy again) and trying to figure out how to get a COCOCOZY sign made right way for our Atlanta showroom where we are showing the COCOCOZY textiles collection next week (oy 3) (assistant KS is working on this one...so that oy might disappear very quickly). Don't mean to sound like a complainer....but am whining a bit. Will stop. Maybe I'll try to turn these into a positive...here's my optimistic spin...I learned a valuable lesson with the traffic ticket, I love the dentist because he makes my teeth healthy and makes me look good, we will figure out a sign this morning and get it to Atlanta by Thursday! There. I feel less better already!

I don't have any children yet, either, but I love this nursery, specifically, the crescent moon bassinet and the jigsaw puzzle table. very clever. I like the idea of having a day bed in the room, for when mommy needs a nap in-between feedings. Although, I like the color palette, it feels too grown up to me. I'd prefer the nursery to have more color, to stimulate the baby.
Thanks for posting, for all of us who aren't in LA!Oh- my- gosh! The wall paper is amazing...the "changing table" ... Everything! Practical? Well, as long as the baby never gets past the baby-in-your-arms phase, you're safe. The nesting tables will be gone pretty fast, once he or she is crawling, but the rest looks fairly safe. Talk about being born with a silver/gold spoon in one's mouth!
ReplyDeleteI sound like such a negative nelly but this house is a major disappointment from the creative minds involved. I'd love to know who did what. Since I own a children's company (we're revamping so don't mind our appearance) and two little beings I am so not a fan of that room I can't even begin to.... I'm all for having some grown up pieces in a baby's room done tastefully.
OH how I love your blog, your prints and your fantastic adventures. I just really dislike this house. I'm wasn't even going to comment on it anymore but I'm a mom and very involved in a children's world.
Good luck on your show, I'm sure it will be great!Beautiful room! Totally impractical for a baby! Glass top tables.... really? Bassinet is beautiful and the baby will enjoy it for about 2 months.. max. Where's the crib, toys, hamper? Changing table is very sophisticated but the reality is that babies are messy and what new Mom or Dad is going to have time to keep that shiny. Maybe this nursery is for a baby and a nanny not for real working parents!
Beautiful space just not practical!rozcurran, nmaha and I have the exact same feelings. Beautiful room but it will only work for an infant. Personal experience has also taught me that growing babies love (and need) visual stimulation like bright primary colors and there isn't any of that in this room that I can see. Hopefully there is a playroom that is older baby/toddler/child-appropriate and an actual crib on order!
ReplyDeleteOH MY ....it took me awhile to realize this was a nursery!!! Super cool, i love it.
