There are two ways to tackle this and I assume you are using W7; if using XP the second method is slightly different:
In the software you are using to print from select "Print" and click the "Properties" button. Select the "Layout" tab and identify the "Orientation" option - it is a dropdown menu - change it to "Portrait" and click "Apply" and "OK".
Open "Control Panel" and select "Devices and Printers" identify your printer (there may be more than one shown) with a green tick on it. Double click the icon and in the new box select "Adjust Print Options". Select the "Layout" tab and identify the "Orientation" option - it is a dropdown menu - change it to "Portrait" and click "Apply" and "OK".

Mine is a bit different with an Epson. After selecting the print options and under the main tab, then select the advanced tab (bottom right). That's where my orientation settings are. You can save the settings there. Click the basic tab to go back and then click on show settings to check what has been saved.

I see from time to time some guys talking about sending oil in for analysis. I started to think i could try that too and checked price for service, it's over $20.
So if one wants to know how his engine doing he does one of this test but would it be counter productive to do this test just to find out if one needs to change oil? Even if it comeback "don't change your oil" you have little life left on it.
My oil and filter is around $35, why not just change it?
2nd. question: Do you know any place cheaper then $20?

I'm not sure which is worse, a runny nose or one that's completely stopped up. If you're inclined to think the former, you may be interested in the Pit Stopper. It's a nose plug that keeps water (and, um, other stuff) in instead of keeping water out!
Evidently, pollen season is a big problem in Japan, although I've been there at that time of year and didn't have any issues. Many people there wear masks to try to cut down on their exposure. However, the masks aren't typically very effective and are obviously very noticeable, so I guess these nose plugs were invented to tackle those problems.
If I had severe pollen allergies, I might be tempted to try the "Nose Mask Pit" instead, which is basically a filter instead your nose instead of a stopper. Neither would seem to be very comfortable though!

Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful. But it's taken a week for the product to reach my local Post Office since it was shipped. Not a week since it was ordered. A week since it was shipped. It now says it will be 1-2 more days before it arrives at my door. It took FedEx 34 hours to go from a location a 3.5-hour-drive away to my local Post Office. It just further reinforces the distaste I have for FedEx. During my last delivery experience via FedEx (not from Woot, mind you), the package arrived in-town at 5:12am. It sat until 8am the next day (31 hours) before it went out for local delivery. I understand the local truck "may" have left or been full or something before the 5:12am-arriving package got moving through the local FedEx office. But I see nothing like this with UPS. UPS gets packages arriving before 7am onto that day's trucks around here. No, I'm not affiliated with any shipping, packaging, retailing, or wholesaling company. I'm just a world-wide-web consumer who's constantly disappointed by FedEx delivery timelines and even moreso by the hybrid FedEx/Post Office shipping deals. Thank you for letting me rant. I know, I know, it's free shipping. But today's shipping and delivery sure has higher expectations regardless of price.
You must not have met SmartPost... Items would take weeks to reach me via the snail. This new shipping is rocket-fast compared to that.

Hello all, I'm midway through a kitchen renovation. We have extended the kitchen into what was once a cold storage area, and I'm trying to find an engineered wood to match the birch mill-run wood throughout the rest of our house. It's proving dang near IMPOSSIBLE! All the engineered wood I look at has almost no variation in it. The birch we see is all very light and uniform. The closest colour match we've found is in red oak - but it's very clearly not the same species. I don't mind if it doesn't match perfectly but I'm surprised we can't get closer than this. It is kind of killing me to pay so much for a very inexact match. Has anyone seen any engineered wood with this type of variation? I'm attaching a photo of my original floor so you can see what it looks like. Obviously I would put down hardwood, but it's on a concrete slab, with radiant heat underneath. We've even had a few people suggest we could just go with the hardwood anyway, since it's a small space and above ground, but we're nervous about that route. The break is literally in the middle in the kitchen, in between the stove and the sink, so it would be awkward to jump to tile or something like that. Any suggestions?? |

Your original floor is solid or engineered? |

Do tile with the warm floor underneath. It would be better to have a mismatch in materials and tone than a mismatch in tone and grain both in a wood. One looks deliberate. |
Glennsfc, The original floor is solid. GreenDesigns, it's literally in the middle of the kitchen, and the entire rest of the house is in the original wood. I've been trying to find some examples of this that look interesting and deliberate, to no avail. Do you have any examples that manage to pull it off? |
Can you use solid wood? In other words, would it be possible to weave in new solid wood with the existing. Done that many times and as long as you use the same species and grade...and then sand it all up and finish it all at once...you most times cannot detect any difference between the new and old wood. |
@glennsfc, the extension is on a concrete slab with radiant heat underneath. None of the flooring guys are recommending this, they say there is too much potential likelihood of warping and buckling. |
I would find a tile you like that will go nicely with your hardwood floors. |
you mentioned the entire house is done in this floor. Would you be able to remove flooring from a different room, or maybe closet, enough to patch in your kitchen area, and then buy a different product for the area you used it from? More work but your hi-profile kitchen area would all be the same. |
@hollydave, it's on a concrete slab, so I can't put down hardwood. Finding a hardwood match has been easy, but none of the manufacturers recommend installation over concrete. |
Two suggestions: (1) do a google search on reclaimed wood flooring, some of it is engineered, you might be able to get a closer match; (2) without seeing a photo of your kitchen, could you put in a "tile rug" in the middle of the room surrounded by wood? |
- Posted by MelissaRDH (My Page) on Wed, Jun 12, 13 at 2:36
1) you CAN put hardwood over slab! there is a plasic layer that goes down then they cover it with a plywood type layer then the hard wood. But it will be about 1 1/2" thickness at least. 2) try lauzon engineered the different woods have different selections as far as variation available for example; oak select and better has a natural variation in color so it's smoother to the eye I think, but exclusive has more color difference and some visual knots etc which my husband prefers because he's color blind so he can see more of the color difference as it has mor light to dark and he likes the knots, so even the same red oak can be quite different depending on the grade we choose, plus most engineered now somes with a micro edge, you can get 3 1/4 lauzon with a square edge (looks like what you have), anyway, check them out and see what they have, somewhere on their site they have a decoration area you can decorate the room with a floor and see a multitude of different grades in a large floor in an actual room for an example |
Hi all, Just thought I would post what I ended up getting here in case anyone else tries to do something similar. We tracked down an engineered product with Mirage, that is much closer to what we were looking for - a birch with natural variation, prefinished. It wasn't quite as varied as our original floor, but it was pretty close. However in the end, we ended up purchasing unfinished 3/4" engineered birch. Again, it's not quite as varied as the original floor, but this way we can apply the same finish to both the old and new floor at the same time. It also doesn't have the micro edge, so it should blend a little better. We could also potentially stain the new portion of the floor to match the old, if necessary. We haven't laid it yet but this route will ultimately give us more flexibility when it comes to matching the look. |

Cream of Lobster Soup
Recipe is from Essential Pepin.
Yield: 10 servings
Community Recipe from
- Stock
- 1 tablespoon(s) Unsalted butter
- 1 Onion Coarsely chopped
- 1 Leek Trimmed, leaving some green, split, washed, and coarsely chopped
- 1-1/2 cup(s) Lobster-steaming liquid
- shells and bodies from 2 lobsters (about 1-1/2 lbs each)
- 2 Tomatoes (about 1lb) Coarsely chopped
- 1 cup(s) Dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon(s) Dried thyme
- 2 teaspoon(s) Paprika
- 3 Bay leaves
- 4 Garlic cloves Crushed but not peeled
- 1 teaspoon(s) Salt
- 4 quart(s) Water
- To Finish
- 2 tablespoon(s) Plus 2 tsp (1/3 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) Cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) Salt
- 1 cup(s) Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon(s) Cognac
- for the Lobster Stock:
- Heat the butter in a large stainless steel pot. When it is hot, add the onion and leek and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until they begin to brown. Add the reserved lobster-steaming liquid and stir to loosen all the particles on the bottom of the pot. Add the lobster shells and bodies, tomatoes, white wine, thyme, paprika, bay leaves, garlic, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook gently for 1-1/2 hours. Strain the stock through a very fine strainer. Reduce the stock to 8 cups.
- To Finish The Soup:
- Mix the butter and flour together with a whisk in the bowl. Gather this kneeded butter -a beurre manie- on the whisk and add it to the stock, whisking it so it dissolves well. You should not have any lumps. Bring to a boil, add the cayenne and salt and simmer for 3-4 minutes. If there are any lumps, strain and return to the pot. Add the cream and cognac and heat briefly (it doesn't need to come back to a boil). Serve the soup in hot bowls, sprinkled with the lobster roe, if you have it.
- Lobster Roe:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the roe on a small cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until dry and red. Crumble in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Set aside for garnish.

Okay Photoshoppers, I want to give you a quick tip on how to center a layer inside a document, or even center more than one layer inside a given document. Let's begin by doing the Free Transform text layer here. We're going to center that in the document first. The trick here is to select the layer in the Layers panel that you want to center or align here. We'll do Select All, Command+A, Ctrl+A. Once you've got that selection going in your document, if you look at the Options Bar, you've got some Alignment buttons. So I'm going to click the Horizontal Center button and the Vertical Center button. Voila! I've got my Transform Text layer here centered perfectly in the document.
Okay and then go ahead and deselect, Command+D. Let's say you want to center more than one layer in the center of your document. So let's get these off center, I'll put the Free Transform layer here and I'll click on small layer and kind of move it there. So things are not centered anymore. To center more than one layer to the center of your document, juts Shift-click on the names of the layers to group them into a selection here. Then we'll do our Select All command again, Command+A, Ctrl+A, and now you've still got your Alignment buttons again. So I'm going to click the Horizontal Center button and the Vertical Center button. Now both selected layers are centered within my selection. Since I did Command+A, that centered within the entire document.

This plant looks okay, but I rescued a single, sprouted leaf off of a smaller sibling that was dying in another shop. Kalanchoe species, maybe? I wouldn't mind knowing the two in the pot behind it also. I'm tempted to buy them, but they are GLUED in that pot! Criminal. |

Beautiful. Thank you! |
Kalanchoe tomentosa is right, but it is the 'Chocolate Solider' cultivar. 'Panda Plant' has a paler color to it and no yellow tint. Here's mine: |
Oh and the plants in the back are: Crassula ovata 'Gollum' jade plant, and an echeveria (already stretching...) These big box stores definitely are succulent killers, I always feel bad for not saving them from the no-light, glued-on rocks condition but simply don't have enough space.. |

Is that a donkey tail to the right of it sedum morganiumism (I KNOW I didn't spell that one right lol) anyway if it is, does it grow pretty fast? I've been wanting this plant for YEARS and finally found two at Telley's here in Michigan |
Yup. This one was actually my first succulent before I knew what succulents were. A relative's friend just gave us bunch of cuttings and now I have 2 pots of them looking quite nice. I wouldn't say they're the fastest growing, but they do propagate like crazy! They sell these as hanging baskets quite often in nurseries, keep your eye pierced and you should find them some day! |
This post was edited by DavidL.ca on Fri, Aug 1, 14 at 1:09
Thanks for the additions, correction, and clarification, David. I just know I'm going to go back for that plant, despite the glue. I just can't stop looking at it, even in a photo. It doesn't look real. Is the height of yours typical of both cultivars? I've been eyeing "burro's tail" too. Don't know if I have enough sun here for that really nice compact growth I see in southwestern plants, but they are so pretty. |
Go for it and rescue it, it seems healthy at the moment. I got mine when it was already this tall. I think it is a more mature plant but also a bit etiolated, so if you give it more sun it should stay shorter and more compact. Yes, my burro's tail is definitely not grown in optimal condition. Mostly shaded but pretty good indirect light all year long. |
I thought my chocolate soldier wasn't real for awhile too. I def poked it's leaves in the store bc I was convinced it was fake. |
I got one! It's TINY. A local shop just got some in this morning - $1.50. It's an itty-bitty one, but I'm fine with little plants that I can grow myself. |

sea squirt
sea squirt
Any tunicate in the class Ascidiacea; found in seas worldwide. Resembling potatoes more than animals, they are permanently fixed to a surface. A forceful contraction of the adult's vaselike body shoots a jet of seawater when it is disturbed. They filter-feed near the shore on debris from dead plants and animals and, in deeper water, on plankton. Adults, from less than 1 in. to 1 ft (2–30 cm) long, have functional male and female reproductive organs. The free-swimming, tadpolelike larvae hatch from eggs shed by one individual and fertilized by another. Some species live individually, others in colonies.

So excited! I had to share. My seedling are popping up :D I have 2 Cherokee Purples with leaves (more are seedlings, you'll see what I mean). I have 2 Sweetie Cherry tomato with leaves and my King of the North Peppers are starting to show just under the dirt (2 out of 6 so far). yay! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Good. Keep the top moist so they can push out with less effort. What is your starting medium ? |
I am using Sunshine 4 :) I've tried spritzing them lightly as they were quite dry (the "helmet head parts). Some have already shed the coating. :) |
And give them more light. If using artificial light, they should be an inch above the leaves. |
I am using artificial light, they are nearly touching the light :) |
Woohoo! Now if it would only get warm outside... |
I agree. I'm in NB and we just got walloped with a storm (nasty storm) and on Sunday we're supposed to get another! UGH! |

This occurred, near Chanute, Kansas. They gave no cause of the crash. Read the whole story... but here is a piece :
Marine's final act of valor saved friend from plane wreck | Fox News
Marine's final act of valor saved friend from plane wreck
Published May 14, 2012 FoxNews.com
An Oklahoma Marine made the ultimate sacrifice when he pulled a friend out of a fiery plane wreck, saving her life but suffering fatal burns over 90 percent of his body.
Friends of Hannah Luce, the lone survivor of Friday's crash of a twin-engine Cessna 401 just northwest of Chanute, Kan., hailed Austin Anderson as a hero who gave his life without a second thought. The pair was among five young adults bound from Tulsa for a Christian youth group conference in Iowa.
He is a very tough guy, but once you got to know he was such much of a teddy bear, Lauren Rockett said of the man she got to know at Oral Roberts University. It would be totally like Austin's character.
Three companions aboard the flight, Stephen Luth, Luke Sheets and Garrett Coble, died instantly, but Anderson, 27, and Luce, 22, survived the crash. Luce was trapped inside the burning fuselage, but Anderson managed to pull her out and guide her to a nearby road. Luce had a passerby call her father while they waited for an ambulance, which then took them to a Wichita hospital. Anderson died there early Saturday morning.

Odette Yustman and Kristen Bell are former rivals in "You Again." (Touchstone Pictures)
Early on in the relentlessly shrill and awkward new comedy "You Again," a character asks for a blindfold.
Audience members may find themselves relating to this urge.
Although it's stuffed with badly beaten clich�s, "You Again" has one fascinating aspect: It features two small, perky, blond, bursting-with-talent actresses named Kris-something who seem to have a knack for landing in bad movies.
The first would be Kristen Bell, originally from Metro Detroit and former wunderkind of TV's sassy "Veronica Mars." She's the star of this show.
The second is Kristin Chenoweth, the big-voiced Broadway sensation who never seems to fit in a film. She plays a wedding planner.
OK, it's not much, but trying to find anything of interest in this film is a chore.
Ms. Bell plays Marni, a high school geek-loser (yawn) who blossoms into a successful beauty in later years (double yawn). But she comes home to the wedding of her brother (James Wolk, another Michigan product being abused) only to find his future bride, Joanna (Odette Yustman), is the popular cheerleader who tormented her in high school.
It gets worse.
Marni's mother Gail (Jamie Lee Curtis) realizes that Joanna's treasured aunt, Mona (Sigourney Weaver), is her long lost frenemy from high school, as well. Let the witchy backstabbing begin.
Director Andy Fickman -- who helmed Bell's best film by far, "Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical" -- can't seem to catch his tone here. At times the movie veers toward being a musical, with dance numbers breaking out like hives, but mostly it's simply a far too broad comedy with no real laughs.
Kristin, Kristen: You can both do better. Actually, you can't do much worse.
Review: 'The Drop' rises on its talent and affection
Review: 'Last of Robin Hood' is a tawdry tale too familiar to fly

Cranberry Pot Roast

- 1 Comment
Yield: 8 servings
We've seen pot roasts flavored with horseradish and pot roasts flavored with rum. But this cranberry pot roast is a tasty twist on an old Yankee favorite.
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose white flour
- 4 pounds beef pot roast (boneless chuck or rump roast)
- 3 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
- 1 can (16 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
- 8 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- salt and pepper to taste
Rub the flour into the roast. Melt the shortening in a Dutch oven. Brown the roast in the shortening, turning it to brown all sides. Reduce the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for at least 3 hours, turning once or twice during the cooking. When the meat is tender, remove from the pan. Strain the drippings and discard the spices. Allow the drippings to cool and skim off the fat that rises to the surface. Reheat the meat in the degreased sauce, then bring to the table to carve, serving the sauce on the side.

School should be a place where critical learning skills are developed and each student's tastes in fashion is respected. In order for such a school to exist, and for its students to excel, creativity, ingenuity and problem-solving skills need to be accepted as its core values not just by the school, by also by the parents and teachers. These abilities, when nurtured, enable individuals to thrive in a democratic society. Students sit in a classrooms, year after year, simply being taught to learn only through rote memory drills, and being asked to regurgitate factual information on examinations,. These traditional teaching methods, only encourages student complacency and indifference to the world around them, and inhibits challenge and achievement.
The inquisitive learner who develops a new thought, or who expresses ideas through art or prose, is often proves to be the learner who feels stifled in a traditional school system. Without the encouragement to express their individualized ideas and freedom of thought, students' intellectual curiosity and creativity becomes a hindrance to their "success" in school, rather than an asset.
The purpose of education is to transmit the values and culture of a society to the next generation of its membership. To encourage individual ideals and expression an arts-integrated curriculum is to be viewed in high regard as "'the'" method utilized by an educational system to teach core academic courses, rather than disparaged as frivolity. Teaching history through art and music, learning about Machiavelli through dialogue on stage, and performing a dance in Anatomy class, brings these subjects to life and embraces each student's creative and intellectual spirit. Learning to work collaboratively to write a song, to solve a mathematical problem or to build a model of a house, develops a sense of community within the school.
An arts-integrated curriculum is not a new idea. John Dewey, Alfred Whitehead, Howard Gardner and Rudolf Steiner, all extemporary leaders in the field of education, theorized that students learn best through the arts and through experiences. By teaching core academics through the arts, students learn to empathy towards characters in a novel, and trace the steps of history. Teaching through the arts also provides a multi-sensory approach to and meets the needs of a wide range of learning styles and the multiple intelligences.
Learning through an arts-integrated approach encourages the individual to be creative and to seek solutions to problems through calculated risk-taking. Students need to be able to stretch their minds and determine new answers to standard questions. When students are confronted with a problem, without being limited by a pre-defined answer from their teachers, students learn to work together to create new solutions and possibilities. This is exactly the type of school that Conservatory Prep Senior High School strives to be, and the learning environment that we believe you want your child to be placed.
If you share our philosophy that the ultimate goal for our children is to raise productive, self-reliant citizens, then we must educate them in an academic environment, which will challenge their ideas, enhance creativity and instill beauty in life through the arts. We invite you to visit with us at Conservatory Prep Senior High School, located near the intersection of Pine Island and Stirling Roads in Davie, to explore the possibilities for your child. Contact us at (954) 680-5808 or visit our website at http://www.conservatoryprep.org. We would love for your child to join us for the upcoming 2009-10 academic year.
Our next Open House is on Thursday February 12, 2009 from 10:00 – 11:30AM. Please RSVP through the website.

Fire crews in Colorado are working to contain a wildfire along the mountainous area just southwest of Denver.
At least two people have been found dead within the wildfire area, although authorities have not yet linked the deaths to the blaze.
Fast-moving flames spread out Monday, destroying as many as 25 homes by Tuesday.
More than 900 residents have been evacuated. A shelter was set up at an area high school as people were forced to leave their homes.
Local sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley said the wildfire may have been caused by a controlled burn last week that sparked back up after strong wind gusts.
More than 100 firefighters are working to extinguish the flames, but high winds are slowing the firefighting efforts.

text: Earlier this month Frisky staffers shared the stories of the worst gifts we've ever received. When we read the horrifying/hilarious bad gift stories from our readers, we had to share those too. But what about the best gifts we've ever received? I'll never forget one birthday when I was in high school–my brother secretly asked all my friends, family, and teachers to write notes to me and then stapled them all together in a little book titled "Why We Love Winona." So awesome. A non-nostalgic close second? The thermal pants my aunt got me for Christmas last year. Whenever I wear them (pretty much every night) I feel cozy and grateful. Read on for a few stories from Frisky staffers, and please share your own best gift stories in the comments!

We all know what to expect from "Grown Ups."
You've all heard the phrase, "It's lonely at the top." Well, Pixar no longer needs to worry about that.
"Splice" is what you get if you make Frankenstein female and oddly beautiful, give her hip quirky parents and have Sigmund Freud write the screenplay.
"Get Him to the Greek" is shamelessly funny. No seriously - it literally has no shame.
May isn't even over, and we already have our first summer flop in the making.
We are fortunate to live in a time when actresses older than 40 are no longer considered "over the hill." Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and many others have proven once and for all that women don't suddenly lose their beauty or their ability to act and draw audiences when they reach a certain age. And there was much rejoicing.
"Shrek Forever After" is the least necessary sequel of 2010. And yes, that includes "Piranha 3D" (releasing in August).
Can Robin Hood's wooden arrows pierce Iron Man's armor? Doubtful.
No other movie in 2010 will hit theaters with more hype than "Iron Man 2." You're all waiting for it and you're all going to see it regardless of what I write next, so the real question is, does it live up?
You know those horror stories you hear about people who went in for minor surgery but wake up to find the doctors mistakenly performed some radical procedure? Like a guy who goes in for a vasectomy but has his leg amputated?
By the time you read this, the 2010 edition of the Atlanta Film Festival will be winding down. Today is the final day, with a full schedule of films, then the week wraps up Friday night with the Drive-By Truckers shindig.
For the next eight days, the Atlanta Film Festival offers movie lovers a veritable paradise - more than 100 films that celebrate local talent, discover voices from around the world and frequently defy categorization.
For decades, Hollywood stuck to a predictable calendar. Studios released family fare and their better-genre pictures during fall, offered their award winners for our consideration in the winter, dumped their losers and specialty pics each spring, and unleashed their tent-pole blockbusters every summer.
Somewhere, stop-motion animation legend Ray Harryhausen is shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Is that the best you whippersnappers with your fancy computers can do?"
Don't you hate it when dragons storm your village and steal your sheep?
"Selma" wasn't the only film about race to get short shrift from Oscar voters this past year. "Black or White" is a frank, touching and very well-acted melodrama about child custody and cultural perceptions of "blackness" and "the race card," and could have earned Octavia Spencer and Kevin Costner fresh Oscar nominations.
We have forgotten how subtle Al Pacino could be, pre "Hoo Hah!" Something about his Oscar winning turn in "Scent of a Woman" unleashed the beast, a performer as big, broad and puffed up as that mountain of hair he keeps teased about his head.
In June of 1964, three civil rights workers, two white and one black, went missing in Mississippi. Later found murdered and buried in an earthen dam, the case captured national attention and sparked a massive FBI investigation.
"The Wedding Ringer" is "Wedding Crashers Redux," a "Hangover Lite" that softens manic funnyman Kevin Hart's persona into someone almost as funny, but more sentimental than abrasive. That helps "Ringer" work as a bromantic comedy that feels like a romantic comedy.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Look great, affordable and convenient. Got them way before the wedding, quick delivery. We used the whole package, so it was perfect."
"I was going for something very sweet, classic and simply beautiful. This card lived up to my requirements and so happy when I received it. I chose the gold foil on blush colored paper with my name at the bottom. I kept the back simple with no pattern/photo/text on it and the corners were cut out. Even with these minimal designs, the card is absolutely lovely."
"I ordered these to match my invites. They are simple and timeless. I ordered the silverberry paper with the silver foiling. The design is amazing, I just wish the silver would've popped better, but that's soothing I kew would happen because of the closeness in colors. Over-all I am extremely happy and satisfied! LOVE my invites and thank you cards!"
"Quick delivery to Australia. Beautiful quality card & envelope. Versatile card design can be used for more than Thank You cards"
"I was so surprised with the quality of the cards we received for the price we paid! beautiful quality and outstanding printing job/ clarity I have already recommended this website to several of my friends!"

......and this will sell off. I no longer care to own it.
Their financials are terrible. This stock is no better than any average chain pizza stock. Its run OUT!!!
If SKX keeps up the pace they will be off to races at Earnings. I have been wearing their amazing shoes for years. They actually have a variety and don't focus exclusively on sport shoes.
Niki's guidance has deminished. I am going with Cramer and buying a little here.
Time to get out - way oversold
They have an "A plus" rating and "THE BEST CEO" with a duvey too
All arrows do point to Solid Value to year end.
Not long ago someone on this board figured $25. I thought I might get in at $50 but now I plan to wait and see.
Check it out for yourself. If this stock goes down it will be manipulation or market sentiment because fundamentally they are like a rock. After that Call I could see this double by year end. Positively on fire.
That is a pretty aggressive forcast. What has penny stock to do with a stock like ABC?
I surely hear you. Still betting on tcs. I just know a lot about this stuff and an activist takes on the challenges you mention. We need an activist running the U.S. gov, but unfortunately it is already out of hand! Just own a little and see, maybe add some in increments. Good Luck to you.
It is happening now and thanks to Carl Icon this company is the leader. I don't see this stock Shooting up but rather advancing at an everyday pace. Early stage sleeper stock !
Whenever an activists gets involved its to the moon. They don't take on a business unless they know they will make money . Having been in business and having visited this store in FLA I can see where it needs some VERY serious revamping in every area except their product. They have a good handle on their product but I do keep asking myself how I managed to walk out of the store after buying only one item I could not live without. I may go to work for them as they pay $50/hr :)
Niki move over. As SKX takes off it's unlikely they will retrace or sell on profits. The fundamentals and support are rock solid into 2015
And .... Morgan Stanley upgrade. Just a little player taking market share from Cisco.
With the nice earnings surprise and Republicans taking the senate EOG is on the comeback trail. I wish I had brought more at 85, in a perfect world!
I went in dressed to impress and asked for a burger my way. They toasted the bun perfect and piled on everything I asked for. Cooked the burger to order and I ordered a side of fries without salt and the girl washes and dried the scooper using a fresh batch of not yet salted fries. She either thought I was a secret shopper or a person from corporate?
Does anyone know?
Spot on. I already own too much or I would be right in there Buying this stock. Now that they have the Chinese involved its only uphill from here. The neat thing is the stock will continue to go up as they continue to train the Chinese how cool it is to drink coffee. They love "COOL".

In Yemen, 800-year-old houses provide all the comfort of a modern, cutting-edge structure.
SANA'A, Yemen — The Old City of Sana'a looks a little like a gingerbread house, delicately frosted on Christmas Eve, and then rediscovered months later in a cabinet above the radiator.
This ancient, walled city is a dilapidated rabbit warren of medieval towers intricately adorned with alabaster crescents. Centuries of rain, sun, coups and civil war have taken their toll on its 800-year-old buildings. But despite their age and dilapidation — it's shocking that any of these structures are still standing at all — the buildings feature some impressive green technology.
"It seems to me the architects in the past were much more clever than us," said Abdullah Zeid Ayssa, who overseas the government's preservation efforts in the Old City of Sana'a, the whole of which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. "Our modern architecture doesn't care much about the sustainability of the materials, or the climate [a building] will exist in."
Roughly 6,000 "tower houses" — narrow, four to five-story structures built side-by-side, like Brooklyn brownstones — still stand in Old Sana'a today. Nearly all of them were built by hand using locally quarried stones, hand-mixed plaster and a naturally waterproof insulating material, qudad, made of volcanic cinders and lime.
The Old City of Sana'a is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. (Paul Stephens/GlobalPost) |
Both the materials and the centuries-old building techniques help maintain a constant temperature inside the homes, eliminating the need for air-conditioning and central heating — a key factor in the poorest nation in the Arab world, where millions of people live without electricity, and power outages in the major cities occur on a daily basis.
"If your house is made of cement, it's cold inside, but if you live in an old house, it's much warmer," said Taha Ahmed, who has lived in a 100-year-old tower house his whole life, and have never used either a heater or air-conditioning. "It is insulated by clay walls, so it's quiet and warm all winter."
Ayssa, who studied architecture at Texas A&M University, said the comfortable interior temperature is largely due to the buildings' "passive solar" technologies, and naturally efficient "thermal mass."
"Basically, that means [the tower houses] soak up the heat of the sun during the day, and release it gradually at night, so it creates a perfect environment year around," said Pamela Jerome, a professor of historic preservation at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture who has worked extensively Yemen. "It's not a fancy technology, but it works."
Despite the soaring and plummeting temperatures of a desert city situated at more than 7,000 feet, the internal temperature of Sana'a tower houses rarely fluctuates more than a few degrees, according to Ayssa's doctoral research.

Simple Tips To Help You Understand Home Security
Don't leave empty boxes for big-ticket purchases outside on your curb. A burglar may see the box and decide to target you as a result. Break up the boxes into smaller pieces before you put them near the curb. Keep your smoke or carbon monoxide detectors clean. Dust can build up and cause the sensors to not be as effective as they should be. Dirty detectors will not protect you from fire or carbon monoxide. When you don't want to spend a lot on maintenance, go for a hard-wired system. As nice as wireless systems can be, the constant charging and battery changes can become tedious and expensive. Neglecting this maintenance can cause faults in your security system and leave you improperly protected. It can be expensive to replace a ton of batteries.
When choosing between security companies, read everything on the contract. You need to find out about hidden costs, such as cancellation fees in case you want to cancel your contract before it expires. You'll want to avoid any surprises so be sure and read your contract carefully. Be more proactive when you are determining the safety of your neighborhood. Introduce yourself to your neighbors. Watch out for their homes, and ask them to do the same for you. You never want to ignore gossip. Important security details (like the presence of strangers in your neighborhood) can come out of the most innocent conversations. No matter how good your security system is, it should be checked annually. Make certain the security company you choose provides for regular inspections. A number of factors can cause problems with your security system, including wild animals and mother nature. If the problem cannot be seen, you probably won't even realize there is one. Make sure any valuables cannot be seen through a window. This includes items such as electronics, paintings, firearms, or anything else of high monetary value. If thieves can't see these items, they won't break in.
A great way to achieve extra security is to install exterior lighting equipped with motion detectors. In the evening hours, this lighting can provide extra security and an economical way to light your front entrance way when you arrive. By carefully placing them around the outside of your property, you create a perimeter that cannot be breached.
Be sure your roof, floors, and ceiling are fire resistant. This can help your home be safer. Fire prevention should be taken seriously because it can stop a major disaster from happening.
Get some professional assistance by asking a home security company to come to your house and work up a plan for a customized security system. They should take your concerns seriously and address any issues you have. If you find a company that will tailor the plan you choose to your needs, you can get the highest level of security that makes you feel comfortable.
Sliding glass doors pose large security issues in homes. They can be simply unlocked with a lift and a shake. A pipe cut the right length should be wedged in the door if you have no security system. This helps keep your door closed and makes it not easy to open.
When you decide to purchase a home alarm system, make sure you comparison shop. You would be surprised to see that the prices are much different for each company, even though it's for the same type of protection. Get three quotes or more before making a choice.
If you want maximum security, make sure that your exterior doors are either solid wood or metal. This sort of door will deter intruders. If a thief tried to kick the door, he would not be successful in doing so. The cost of replacing these doors is very minimal if they were to break. Try installing motion-sensor lights. They'll flip on when people walk within a certain distance of your house. You will receive advance warning of any potential issues, and a would-be intruder will probably be scared off. But keep in mind that the bulbs to the security light should be routinely changed to ensure that the deterrent system functions properly.
Consider purchasing a wireless security system for your home. Wired systems could cost less, but they can also require intrusive electrical work inside your house and can fail when the power goes out. The easy of installation and maintenance when it comes to wireless set-ups makes them the best bet.
