If you have a child who hates to write (like me,) how about encouraging that child to write a blog?
Even if you don't we always need ideas to provide fun opportunity for writing.
Kids Can Write Blogs
Before you freak out and stop reading, let me tell you this — you can keep a child's blog private and password protected.
Some blog platforms for kids are: WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, Edmodo, Kidblog.org, Kidzworld, and Kidswirl.
Personally, I recommend using WordPress.com. It's free and easy to set up. Download my free ebook, Ready, Set, Blog, and I'll show you how to set up a family blog.
Another resource for kid blogs is KidsLearntoBlog.com, a website for kids under 13, parents, and/or teachers interested in blogging as an educational tool. Watch her free videos on blogging here.

Classroom Blogs
My teacher friend, Diane Dahl, began blogging with her classroom with amazing success. Read her recent post about it here.
Kelly of iLearn Technology writes about all the uses of blogging in the classroom here.
The website Teacher Challenge gives teachers some ideas of ways to use blogging in the classroom such as pen pals and book clubs.
Another website, Web 2.0 Classroom, gives 33 ways to use blogs for educational purposes. I like her ideas for art projects, children reviewing books, and supplemental videos or podcasts.
Here are some examples of classroom blogs you might like:

Happily, the Yours Truly diva left her trademark baby doll dress and kitten heels at home. Ari prowled the stage in a black bodice and fitted pants, which she teamed with white boots and Mickey Mouse ears. It was the perfect outfit for dancing and mini-Mariah showed off some killer moves while still delivering an impressive vocal. "Problem" is an odd blend of '90s pop and current urban trends (the trap-lite breakdown and a sax hook a la Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty") but there's no denying that it's catchy. Watch up top.
Did Ariana slay the stage or is she still a work in progress? Give your verdict in the comments below.

Punch-Out!! is a boxing video game developed by Next Level Games for the Wii and is the fifth main game in Nintendo's Punch-Out!! series following the SNES version of Super Punch-Out!!.[6][7] Following an early release at the Nintendo World Store in New York City on May 16, 2009,[8] the game was released on May 18, 2009 in North America, May 22, 2009 in Europe, July 23, 2009 in Japan and August 27, 2009 in Australia (exclusively at JB Hi-Fi stores).[2][9] An additional WiiWare title, Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!, was released exclusively for North American Club Nintendo members on October 27, 2009. It was rebranded under the Nintendo Selects label in 2011 for North American audiences only.[10]
In the January 2015 Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Punch-Out!! and other Wii games will be released for download through the Wii U's Nintendo eShop. In North America, Punch-Out!! was released on January 22, 2015;[5] in Japan, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, it has been announced for future availability, but no specific date was provided.[11][12][13]
Punch-Out!! features a boxer named Little Mac working his way up the professional boxing circuits, facing a series of colorful, fictional boxers. The game requires reflexes in reaction to the computer-controlled boxers' moves. Aside from a few new opponents, every other opponent is from a previous Punch-Out!! game. New opponents feature Disco Kid, Giga Mac and Donkey Kong, while the classic boxers are ten of the eleven boxers from the original game, as well as two from Super Punch-Out!!. The game allows three different control schemes. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk can be used together, a Wii Balance Board can be used along with Wii Remote and Nunchuk to duck or dodge, or the Wii Remote can be used by itself and held sideways in a traditional two-button control scheme.
In each stage, players must rely on quick reactions and identify various tells from their opponent in order to dodge or block their attacks, before returning with attacks to either the torso or the head with the left and right fists. Hitting certain weak points at the correct time, for example; when an opponent grins, earns stars, with the player able to store up to three stars, losing them if they are hit. When the player has one or more stars, they can perform a Star Punch which deals extra damage. Each fighter has a stamina gauge which must be depleted in order to knock an opponent down, with the player able to recover their stamina whilst their opponent is down. Additionally, the player has a heart counter that decreases if they are hit, or if their attacks are blocked. If it reaches zero, the player will be unable to attack and be vulnerable until they can successfully dodge an attack. The player wins a match by either successfully KO'ing their opponent (either by a ten count or simply because they are unable to recover), earning a T.K.O. by knocking them down three times in a single round, or winning by decision after three rounds have passed. If the player is hit by a knockout punch, it is possible to recover and regain stamina.
The single player campaign sees the player progress through three main modes; Career, Title Defense, and Last Stand. Career sees Little Mac climb the ranks of the World Video Boxing Association by proceeding through the Minor, Major, and World Circuits. Title Defense is a more challenging mode that sees Mac defend his championship belt against other fighters, who use new techniques and ways to protect their weakness (such as King Hippo protecting his stomach with a manhole cover).[14] Finally, Last Stand is an endurance mode in which Mac faces off against random opponents with a high heart meter and a stamina bar that does not regenerate. Once Mac loses three times, he will retire and the Career mode will become disabled, requiring players to start from scratch on a new file. Exhibition allows players to fight against opponents they have previously fought in Career and Title Defense, where they can try and complete unique achievements, or practise against a holographic clone of their current opponent. If the player manages to win against ten fighters during Last Stand, an additional Champions Mode option is unlocked, in which a single hit will knock Mac down.
New to the series is a split-screen multiplayer mode between Little Mac and a recolored clone. When one of the players has gathered enough power by repeatedly dodging all moves unscathed, he can transform into "Giga Mac" and the game moves into its single-player view, as Little Mac tries to overcome the bigger and more powerful Giga Mac.[15]
Doc Louis's Punch-Out!![edit]
Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! is a standalone spin-off title, which was released on WiiWare as a Platinum reward for Club Nintendo members in North America on October 27, 2009. The game, which takes place prior to the main game, sees Little Mac sparring with his coach, Doc Louis, through three progressively difficult matches, which are each cleared by knocking him down once. This title is not compatible with the Wii Balance Board.[16][17]
The game was revealed in 2008 at the Nintendo Media Summit, where a fifteen second trailer was shown.[18] It was later announced that it was being developed by Next Level Games, which had partnered with Nintendo on games such as Super Mario Strikers. Nintendo wished to make a new iteration similar to the original Punch-Out!! for the NES, so they asked the studio to design the gameplay to be exactly like it and the characters to look like the original games.[19] This led to the studio designing the game with classic NES-style controls by using the Wii Remote turned sideways.[19] Pre-production started when the Wii was released. At the time, Nintendo was discussing the idea with the studio. Soon after that, the studio created a prototype of the game.[20]
In an interview, the game's producer, Kensuke Tanabe, described the development as a collaborative effort between the people of Next Level Games and the people from Nintendo of Japan. As an example of this, Tanabe said that the roster of opponents that are in the game were chosen by people of both studios, Next Level wanting to include more NES characters.[19] When asked about the challenges of bringing an old franchise to the current generation, the game's gameplay lead, Bryce Holiday, said that the most difficult thing to figure out was how to design the gameplay and where to locate the camera. The game has a cel shaded graphical style, which was a decision of Next Level.[19] Both of the developers wanted to design the graphics in a way that would be immediately identifiable to any person who catches a glimpse of the game.[20][21] They also wanted to invoke the style of the previous iterations while at the same time creating some new visuals. Holiday called the style "the logical choice".[21]
The inclusion of Donkey Kong was a suggestion from an employee of Nintendo of America, and Tanabe also wished to include Princess Peach, but that idea was abandoned because of the issue of violence towards women's.[19] The reason that there were not many Nintendo characters in the game is because the studio wanted to solidify the game's universe.[19] The Title Defense mode was designed to make the game more of a standalone game and not just a nostalgia title, and also to make the game's length longer.[19] The developers liked this since it added more personality to the characters.[19] The studio adjusted the difficulty level in order to make the game easier to pick up and play.[19] The game's 2 player mechanic was difficult task to create, according to Tanabe, because the series didn't have a template to base it on.[19]
There were various additions to the game that were cut from the final product. One of these was online multiplayer,[20] while another feature was the ability to move around the ring in a 3D environment. This idea was scrapped so that the game would have the same feel as the older games in the series.[21] Other features include character customization, other RPG elements, and mini-games.[21]
Reception | ||||||||||||||||||
The game received generally positive reviews, averaging an 86/100 and an 87.29% at Metacritic and Game Rankings respectively.[23][22] Nintendo Power's Chris Slate scored the game an 8.5/10 in the magazine's June 2009 issue, praising its similarity to the NES title of the same name.[26] Slate stated "The folks at Next Level Games have created an amazing title that has made the 15 years since Super Punch-Out!! quite worthwhile." However, he said that the new additions didn't affect the game. Game Informer gave Punch-Out!! a 9.0/10.[24] IGN's Craig Harris gave this game an 8.8/10, citing its nostalgic gameplay.[25] Sumantra Lahiri of The Escapist also praised its nostalgic value, but suggested that the stereotypes exhibited by the characters that seemed harmless in the 1980s version had not aged well when early 21st century attitudes towards cultural and racial sensitivity were taken into account.[27]

Bento Book Laptop + Tablet + Smartphone = Modular Transformer Computer
While this scenario has been explored before, it's the first time that I've seen something that might actually work well. The laptop becomes a dock for your smartphone and your tablet, allowing you to seamlessly use different devices without having to sync them. The Bento Book concept goes even further. Without the mobile devices, it's just a dock. It actually needs the mobile devices to actually become a laptop.
The design looks futuristic, but the overall specs are within the realm of possibility. Designed by René Woo-Ram Lee, the main laptop has got a 15-inch OLED screen. An 11-inch tablet sits where the keyboard should be. A 4-inch smartphone sits where the trackpad should be. This is all possible, though I don't know how easy it will be to use the tablet as a keyboard. In my experience, I prefer a tactile response, just like many other touch-typists.
But that doesn't stop this concept from being compelling. Only time will tell if we'll see something like this. My guess is no, especially not for Apple devices.
In fact, the concept design has some Fujitsu branding, which is normal since it was created for a Fujitsu design award.

I want one.
How do i get one?
Can i win one. -
yes i would drop 2000 for this easy!!!
haha it would be awsome if the pad and pod/phone where included.
this would be a very good product i would probley pay in a price range of about 500 to 1000 bucks for it and mabey 1500 but thats a maybe. do not under any sarcumstance sell this amazing idea to apple for since steve jobs has left they have been sucking. i would recommand selling it to google aka android or any place that would run android at full compasity. i see very much head strong ideas in the tablet deapartment right now. this would take the tablet world to a whole different world of possibilities. it should deffently be able to run flash and java likethe kindle fire (realesed nov. 15 2011)which i am very plesed with mine and i only had to pay 200 bucks. so all in all very good idea but if it remains an idea for to long it will be opsilete in the ever changing world of technolgy.
definitely want this, however it probably wont come on sale for a bit, if ever. It looks to me like it is running a modified version of ubuntu natty, rather than andriod, which I like. I cannot, however, see this device selling for anything less than 2000 USD; keep in mind that this is not just a tablet, but is a tablet, phone, and person computer all wrapped up into one big, happy nerdgasm
WOW, really amazing. is it been ever manufactured? how can i buy one?
@ Kooldoodle – what would you be paying for otherwise? the gadgets have to fit perfectly into the laptop part, which is a paperweight without them.
@ awesomeesst – do you not have spell check man?
Looks like something Apple should make :) haha
No way it is so much better that apple
I would definitively buy this if it comes out for sale! totally worth any price tag!
How do you buy this thing
Sounds good, but i think it may be some what distracting, i think having a moving screen as a keyboard and as touchbad may reduce concentration on a specific thing.
But it has an advantage of improving the tasks, and increasing the perception of the user. -
I wouldn't care this thing would cost 2000$ it looks totally awesome and it's everything in one…
It would be very nice if this thing really came on the market, i would put a sleeping place right in front of the store to get one haha. (no joke ) -
I love the idea of intergration of our daily use touch screen cell & tablet becoming a full time notebook. Data sharing & backup could be possible by just one click.
All in all, this is an excellent idea & if produced, I would certainly get one for myself. -
Shut up and take my money!!!
This is great device, and I really hope that one day I'll buy it))

Owners Tina and Kevin Yancey didn't start their marriage with the idea of running a bakery. Kevin, a business owner, and Tina, a corporate employee, were simply fans of their local Great Harvest franchise and the freshly baked breads the staffers forged from scratch each day. With the couple's natural love for cooking and entertaining, they quickly realized the fulfillment they would gain from opening their own Great Harvest bakery. In 2007, they found that fulfillment by unveiling their very first location in Las Vegas.
Though far from the glitter of the Strip, the Yanceys' Birmingham location still bakes pillowy breads with the same techniques as the original Great Harvest that impressed them years ago. Everything from sweet scones and cookies to 10 types of flavorful bread are made completely from scratch with whole-grain flour the company mills itself and baked in an oven fueled by the company's fire-breathing staff members. The menu transforms from month to month, giving new and veteran customers alike new treats to taste throughout the year.
Nutrition isn't usually the first thing you think about when buying cookies, but at Cooper Street Cookies, it's actually rewarding to turn a package over and see what's inside. That's because the family-owned bakery makes all of its cookies without the use of dairy, nuts, or trans fats, and instead uses only all natural ingredients with a minimal sprinkling of sugar for taste. The result is a selection of low-calorie cookies, produced not with cheats such as fake sugar and styrofoam peanuts, but with natural ingredients including dried fruit and extracts. These family recipes have been so well-received that they now appear on the shelves at Whole Foods and Macy's. Because of this commitment to high quality ingredients, cookie flavors take a unique turn and include mint chocolate chip, orange cranberry, and key lime coconut varieties available in batches and even custom-wrapped cookie towers.
Backed by 45 years of tradition, Stroh's Ice Cream Parlour freezes brains with sweet scoops of handcrafted ice cream in more than 40 imaginative flavors. Beneath a glass case laden with old-fashioned candy and fresh popcorn, chilled air curls around mounds of rare ice-cream varieties such as lemon custard, caramel-nut cluster, and banana pudding, each waiting to meet its spoony soul mate. Frozen globes of pistachio mingle with mackinac island fudge atop double-scoop cones ($4.60), and single cups ($2.82) or triple scoops ($5.20 for cup or cone) of moose tracks puff up their peanut-butter cups to intimidate waiting mouths. Frosty frozen yogurt morphs into myriad tangy forms ranging from low-cal and low-fat to sugar- and lactose-free in a rotating cast of flavors including double-dutch chocolate and pumpkin. Hand-packed pints, quarts, and gallons ($5.10–$12.99) cram frosty treats into take-home cartons so sweet seekers can decadently bribe freezer poltergeists into submission.
Every day, Breadsmith kneads and breeds made-from-scratch breads, honoring the practices of centuries-old French bakers. The delectable dough sculptures receive the royal treatment, with all delicate yeast bubbles bursting inside of a 6-ton stone-hearth oven. The oven's sweltering heat creates a cushy crust for American-style breads. In the presence of lightning-quick steam injections, European-style breads take on a crisp, crumb-dressed outer core. Daily bread offerings vary from baguettes to sourdoughs to specialty loaves. Use today's Groupon to fill up the family with lusciously leavened loaves fresh from the oven—or wait for them to go stale and then wield them as harpoons during the next potato-soup hunt.
The Coffee Beanery's methods of roasting and brewing coffee transcend from process to artistry. For 36 years, the international chain has roasted its own hand-selected beans at its Michigan headquarters using its trademarked Right Roast technique, in which humans take the place of robots to roast small batches to their peak flavor. Each of their kosher-certified coffee flavors sets taste buds alight without the use of sugar, alcohol, lactose, or glow sticks. Decaffeinated versions drip into cups sans chemicals, as each batch is made with only the Swiss Water Process.
Party Cakes' expert bakers alchemize fresh ingredients into delectable baked goods topped with homemade vanilla or chocolate buttercream icing. Adorn fall feasts with a dozen autumn-themed cupcakes, embellished with chocolate acorns, sugary pumpkins, or candy-covered haystacks. Halloween-themed cupcakes brandish spooky ornamentation, such as spiders hunching over black-icing webs, perfect for holiday get-togethers or monthly meetings of arachnid enthusiasts.

CEO Graham Coate will use the opportunity to meet with the growing number of Middle East operators who regularly fly into the UK and Europe to offer them a seamless, high quality VIP service on the ground.
"We are exhibiting at MEBA because we are seriously looking at positioning vehicles in Dubai – as well as to add to our client list of jet operators who regularly fly to the UK from the Gulf. We are keen to pursue three to four day bookings, where we can provide a driver and luxury car to support a client for the duration of their stay and be at their full disposal while in the UK on business."
First Class Cars owns a 35-strong fleet of vehicles including the S-Class Mercedes saloon, Mercedes Viano, Chrysler Grand Voyager, Bentley Continental Flying Spur, plus a brand new addition to the fleet, the Rolls-Royce Phantom. All vehicles in the First Class fleet are immaculate in sleek black and beautifully appointed inside with sumptuous leather and wood finish.
The company marks its 10th birthday next year and Graham believes the success of its business, in the private aviation arena of late, is its ability to be fully adaptable to the needs of business aviation.
"Business jets and executive helicopters often have to divert from their chosen destination because of poor weather, a client changing his mind about where he wants to go, meetings over-running, etc. Private aircraft position where clients want them and we can be there to meet the aircraft with the shortest of notice."
He notes that the VLJ business model is an especially interesting sector, where aircraft will stay at an airport until it is booked again, saving on positioning costs.
"We are well placed and keen to support this sector," he said.
First Class Cars uses a state-of-the-art vehicle tracking system, which provides updates of vehicle positions every 60 seconds.
"Upon taking a call, we can despatch a vehicle within two to three minutes and have the flexibility to manage vehicle movements effectively, avoiding any unexpected delays."
Also, key to serving the demanding business jet market, the company uses a sophisticated flight tracking system, enabling it to monitor the precise arrival times of jets, saving clients and charter brokers waiting time and cost.
First Class Cars is headquartered at London Luton Airport, serving key fixed based operations (FBO) clients based at the airport.
Six months ago the company opened a new facility at London Stansted Airport, a decision taken in response to the airport's growing popularity for business aviation.
Here, First Class Cars is supporting the FBOs and a number of privately owned jets.
First Class Cars was founded in 1999.
It boasts a discerning clientele from the music and film industries, who demand a high level of service, plus numerous blue chip companies.
First Class Cars also has global connections through affiliates in Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Washington DC and Sydney.
It is also currently committing to becoming 'carbon neutral.'
First Class Cars will be working with Emerald Media, a business aviation PR specialist to raise its profile in the sector.
Hampshire, UK-based Emerald also has PR representation in Spain, Germany, the US and in Asia and Australia through its partnership with LeadingEdge Communications.

Running out of Naperville-specific knickknacks? Naperville General Store has plenty of ideas to replenish your stock, including wooden frames embellished with typical Naperville sites and scenes.
Glenn and Debra Anton, owners of the downtown specialty store, are always looking to offer authentic and Made in U.S.A. items. They recently expanded their Naperville-specific offerings by adding a horizontal 4-by-6-inch, a 5-by-7-inch, and a vertical 8-by-10-inch photo frame to their local selection.
"We commissioned the frames since we get so many requests for Naperville-themed items," says Debra Anton of the frame the store started offering in early June. "We had received requests for picture frames, too, so we just put the two requests together."
The frames are made of a hard wood called alder wood making for a sturdy but also rather lightweight product.
"It's a hard wood that takes the engraving well. The image is clear and precise and will last indefinitely — it won't chip away," Glenn Anton says. "You can feel the texture of the design when you run your hand over the frame."
The frames feature the Dick Tracy sculpture, Dandelion Fountain, Fredenhagen Park, Millennium Carillon and the covered bridge on the Riverwalk, Debra Anton says.
The store, 204 S. Washington St., offers the frames for $22.95, $25.95 and $42.95, depending on size. Also check out other custom-made items featuring Naperville.
"With a frame, they can put a favorite photo in a frame that features the most well-known Naperville landmarks," Debra Anton adds. "It makes a great memory."

I've been wanting to build an exterior table. I need something fairly large and had been considering several varieties of wood slabs. The problem I have come up against, is that anything I would consider large enough is pretty expensive. So, I have come across a couple of pine slabs that aren't too costly that I think I can make work. My question is, would pine be a suitable variety of wood for such a purpose? Thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
A lot depends on the glue used. If it's rated for exterior and you put a protective finish on it. Why not? |
Just be aware the slab will split as it ages. Fixing the split will be labor intensive---or expensive. |

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina's security secretary says seven first-responders were killed battling a fire that destroyed an archive of bank documents.
The fire at the Iron Mountain warehouse took hours to control and the sprawling building appears to be ruined despite the arrival of at least 10 squads of firefighters Wednesday.
Security Secretary Sergio Berni says the dead include five firefighters and two civil defense workers who were killed when a wall of the building collapsed on top of them.
National civil defense director Alberto Crescienti says nine others were hospitalized with serious injuries.
Buenos Aires civil defense director Guillermo Montenegro says the archives contained banking documents.
The cause of the blaze isn't immediately clear. Iron Mountain advertises that its facilities have multiple protections against fire.

Time Trial Tech at the Liege Prologue
Prologue Gearing Choices
6 / 15
Teams often vary chainring size for time trials based on rider strength and terrain. 54T big rings are common, but on flatter courses riders sometimes use larger small rings as well to improve shift speed. This Cofidis bike is equipped with a 54/46T combo, although it's likely the rider never even used the small ring on the flat, fast Liege prologue course.

Lib Technologies Wayne Pant - Men's

Best pants ever
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm 6'3"/200lbs, I have the XL size. These pants are awesome. Great breathability. Perfect fit, they're not too baggy, and not too skinny. Goldilocks all the way. For the $125 outlet price these are a no brainer. 1/3 the price of anything comparable. Wish there was more color ways, but debating picking up another pair anyway.

Full coverage (and I do mean full)
Smooth, creamy texture
Tiniest amount needed (your first try, you'll take too much on that little tool they provide, don't feel bad lol)
May seem pricey but trust me, it will last
this is my exact routine and I can't imagine changing it: despite the woman at Sephora telling me to put it on OVER my foundation - I moisturized my face, put on my under eye primer, used my finger (you want it to melt a little on your finger, trust me) to dot the slightest amount of this on under eyes (do NOT brush - dot it on)...I then put my actual concealer on (Nars stick) and grabbed my stipling brush to apply lightest amount of foundation (it's too hot for a thick layer). This whole time, the "paste" and concealer were kind of sitting there (very obviously) but the stipling brush with a little foundation tied it all together so I didn't look like I had big white streaks under my eyes (I hate when I can SEE people's concealer). I think this stuff is great as a base to cover the initial darkness/skin discoloration and then you can gauge if you need more or another product (my circles can be dark so I personally use this and then my "concealer") As always, an excellent moisturizer is going to be key to avoid creasing/caking but I'm totally sold on this stuff :)

I don't see the benefit (haha!) of having a concealar in a pot like this. It's very unhygenic, impossible to use the right dosage and probably a like a petri dish of germs. When using the spatula it's very hard to pick up only the tiny amount needed, so there is always a lot of waste. The product itself is highly pigmented, creamy and easy to blend.
I don't think it lasts a long time and the finish is also not that great.
For me it's a clear "Meh"
In terms of makeup, my biggest problem was always finding a way to cover the dark circles - I've tried a huge number of products ranging from drugstore ones (l'oreal,maybelline,technic), to middle ones (laura mercier, oriflame and bobbi brown) and more expensive ones - dior and ysl.I am also really fair, so matching the colour was a great problem also.I've read about this concealer online and couln't find it where I live since there isn't a Benefit counter in my country.I finally managed to swap for it and can't be happier! The concealer is extremely creamy, has great coverage and is a pleasure to apply.It counteracts the blue tones from my circles extremely well and leaves my eye area looking almost flawless.The colour match is also great!
The only downside is that the packaging isn't that convenient since I have to scoop the product out, but that's ok.
The only 2 things I have to mention is that 1)Better to use a tiny brush than the scooper,get A TINY bit of product out and apply it (you won't need more than this no matter how dark the circles are)
2)Don't apply too much product since it can look cakey and ugly.
Other than that it's a wonderful product that is also priced reasonable.Would definitely purchase again!

I was on the hunt for a new under eye concealer and after watching countless youtube videos, I decided to try this one. Well, I wasn't too keen on paying $28 for something that I may hate..so I was thrilled to find a sample size of this at Ulta for $10! I picked it up in MEDIUM. I couldn't wait to do my makeup the next day to try this! Well, first of all..let me stress how little of this product you need, I just tap my CLEAN finger into it, then blend it into my circles. It is very pigmented and creamy so it spreads easily and covers very very well! It has a brightening property to it, so I wouldn't use it on pimples. However, for under the eye, it's pretty good. I have fine lines (I'm 40) and honestly, everything settles into them...however, this is so creamy that it doesn't seem too as badly as other products I've tried. I also set this with Makeup Forever HD power. I will buy this again, when I run out...and if you are on the fence about it, pick up the sample size, I'm glad I did!

I purchased a mini jar of this for $10 at ULTA the other day (I found it in their last minute beauty buys section). I figured I didn't have a lot to lose for $10, since the nearest ULTA is quite a distance away and returns would be difficult. The only shade they had was Medium, but it was more or less a match so it was fine. It's a little light on me, but since I use it under my eyes, it's no big deal.
The consistency of this concealer is very thick and creamy. It's very high coverage and a little goes a long way. I tap my ring finger in it before tapping it under my eyes and gently blending it out. I feel like using a brush would apply too much product. Because of the high coverage, it can look a little cakey if too much is applied.
My main concern with this product is that it is very difficult to set. It's very creamy and rich but it seems to remain a bit slick and wet the whole time. It does set a little once it's blended, though. When I go over it with a powder in a small angled flat top brush, it tends to look fake and cakey. I have a lot of bumps on my skin, and it definitely accentuates it.
Overall, despite the fact that I love the great coverage, it settles into the crease I have under my eye. The color is great and brightening, but the lasting power isn't so great. I don't have extremely dark circles, but by the end of the day, there definitely isn't much left. I won't purchase it again because I'm on the hunt for my HG concealer, but I'm glad I tried this one out and I'll definitely use the whole thing.

I never used to conceal my undereye circles until I got the mini size of this in the Confessions of a Concealaholic kit, then I fell in love with it. It's the perfect shade to cancel out any darkness and makes eyes appear more awake. The other plus is that the small sample size jar lasts a long time as you only need a bit of product. My HG undereye concealer!
As with all Benefit products, the packaging generally out weighs the product. I can't help but think that's what I'm paying for half the time.
I was given a sample of the 'medium' shade to sample before I bought. It covered well but I have pale skin, but was given this shade even though it blatantly wasn't going to match, so it sometimes left orange-y marks.
Lately an old school friend has taken over the concession when I mentioned about the above she gave me a sample of the 'fair' shade. It works perfectly with my skin, no reaction at all actually even if I'm using a tinted moisturiser and touching up. After I gave her feed back and bought something else she gave me a WHOLE pot in my goodie bag :D
Love Love Love this stuff. Been using it forever. Sometimes when I run out I try other brands but nothing comes close. The coverage is great. It covers my dark under eye circles. This product is not meant for someone that doesn't have dark under eye spots to conceal. They would find it too thick. A little product goes a long way. If you put too much you will notice creasing. I enjoy the spatula. It is not unsanitary if you clean the spatula each time. I use a daily brush cleanser.
I got a small tester tube of this. I'm surprised but really like this. I use just a really really small amount under my eyes and then put a little of a regular concealer over the top. It really brightens my under eye area. A little goes a long way so even this teeny tube will last a while. I'm very tempted to buy it when this runs out.

Tap Into This
Capital Tap Haus's "turn-of-the-century beer hall" is right at home on State Street
It's more than a little ironic that a place that used to sell cheese (House of Wisconsin Cheese) now sells … beer. No one can say we Wisconsinites aren't predictable.
Capital Tap Haus (107 State St.) serves about ten Capital Brewery beers plus limited-edition Capital varieties when they're released. The cozy wooded interior was constructed to resemble a turn-of-the-century beer hall, also known as a tied , house. Explains co-owner Jack Sosnowski, "Tied houses served one brewery's beer—since bars were so heavily taxed they looked to breweries for support, so the breweries subsidized them." Look for historic details in keeping with the theme, including an ornate chandelier once housed in the Milwaukee County Courthouse and Turner Hall and large, black-and-white Angus McVicar photographs featuring revelers in the old Fauerbach Brewery (located off of Willy Street) the day Prohibition ended and an old shot of the Hausmann Brewery on Gorham and State.
Find pub-style sandwiches (burger, veggie sandwich, chicken club and pulled pork), an every-day fish fry, appetizers and entrées—all under $14. Many dishes use beer as an ingredient, notes co-owner (and Sosnowski's fiancé) Julie Stoleson.
The couple wanted to open a downtown venue that focused on beer—after all, their other cocktail lounge, the Ivory Room, has a completely different focus.
"I truly believe Capital beer is the best beer in Wisconsin—if not the Midwest—and I think that should be celebrated," says Sosnowski.
We'll raise a glass to that.

*Top 100 Wines of 2004* Wonderful spice and currant aromas to this young wine. Full-bodied, with super well-integrated, refined tannins. Long caressing finish. This is very, very silky. Just like from barrel. Cos is on top of it now. (3/ 2004)
A beautiful effort, the 2001 Cos d'Estournel (65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot) exhibits a poised, noble bouquet of black currants, cedar, spice box, and licorice. A hint of truffles emerges as it sits in the glass. Medium-bodied with sweet fruit (mostly black) and nicely integrated wood, it builds incrementally in the mouth, ending with a 50-second finish. Drink this sylish, restrained yet substantial claret over the next 15+ years. (6/ 2004)
Bright ruby-red. Vibrant, complex aromas of cassis, graphite, eucalyptus and tobacco. Fat and sweet but shapely, with impressive density and underlying structure. Flavors of plum, mint, roasted nuts and sweet oak. Fairly full for young Cos, but quite suave. Finishes with firm but smooth tannins and excellent grip. Better than the 2000. (6/ 2004)

A surprise for my girlfriend that is!
She knew it was coming at some point, but not when or where. I managed to successfully throw her off my trail though and had her convinced I was not going to do it Saturday. We had already planned to go out with a couple close friends (who are also dating) and I recruited them to help me out.
Saturday morning I went to pick her up and we went to the gun range for a little fun and so she could shoot a 9mm she's thinking about buying. We grabbed lunch afterward and saw Voyage of the Dawn Treader (good movie by the way. She said they didn't follow the book completely but I haven't read it so I enjoyed it.) that afternoon. We did a little Christmas shopping and then went to dinner with our friends before heading to a big Christmas lights display where this happened:

Excellent value for money
Reviewed: March 17, 2014 by DrGiz, a Straight Engaged Male
I bought these a while ago. At the time I was not expecting much but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
The large one fits nicely around all the important bits without feeling too tight, and the small one is nice and tight around the base of the penis.
All in all well worth the money - especially if they are your fist cock rings.
- Pros
- Price, feel and fit.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Excellent value for money.

A simple 'n' easy cock ring
Reviewed: February 24, 2013 by MrSpike, a Gay Single Male
I got these because I lost my last cock ring and thought I'd surprised the other half with it one day. Not to brag, but my god, you should've seen the eyes. Of the person, not the penis...
The large one is too large for me, the small one I can't get off once on, the middle one was just right. Made my cock look huge, but sadly it did mean having to train the other half's hole a bit. I couldn't get it in first time. Or second. But we were fine by fifth.
- Pros
- It's simple and not too solid.
- Cons
- That I had to cut the smallest one off. But that's my own fault.
- Bottom line
- A bit of a laugh, really.

Simple but great
Reviewed: December 5, 2012 by SD-CJ, a Straight Engaged Male
I got this product to test out and couldn't wait to try it! It's so simple - 3 rings, but they're just the right size and get you nice and hard. Having the 3 of them on at once felt great and my GF couldn't help but play with me when she saw how hard they made me.
All in all another great product and highly recommended!
- Pros
- How hard it made me.
- Cons
- Nothing.

- A great product that's tight in the right places.

Minimum Stay | nights |
If you are planning holiday around Europe, please note I have also some apartments in PARIS and ROME.
All my apartment are located in central and safe area.
This Deluxe Penthouse apartment (155 sq m / 1655 sq ft) with a large terrace is located at the beginning of Turnacibasi Sokak (a quiet street just off Istiklal, the main shopping street), behind Galatasaray Licesi, in the lively and varied Beyoglu district, with its many restaurants and vibrant night-life.
The area is central and safe.
Occupying two floors (4th and 5th) at the top of the building, with a private elevator/lift, the apartment, which has been fully renovated by an architect in the spring of 2008, is very comfortable and elegantly decorated: parquet floor, high-quality furniture and equipment, designer accessories, etc. ( see the articles published in « Home Art » and other architectural and design magazines ).
Its large terrace offers a superb panoramic view of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn, Haghia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Galata Tower and Topkapi Palace, among other famous sites.
***** The top floor, which can be reached directly by the elevator/lift, is entirely designed as a very large and bright open space with high ceilings at 4.5 meters, chandeliers, a handsome exposed brick wall along one side, and an elegant palette of greys highlighted by glass and steel (see photos).
It includes:
* a dining area with tables for 8 persons, giving onto a winter garden / solarium
* a top-of-the-range , fully equipped steel-plated open kitchen with a 3.5 meters worktop.
* a living area with a desk and two «L» shaped sofas ( each sofa is a convertible sofa bed that can be used as double-bed when open, single bed when closed).

Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Cobalt International Energy Inc., a deep-water oil explorer whose biggest investors include Goldman Sachs Group Inc., climbed to a record after test results at a discovery off the coast of Angola exceeded the company's expectations.
Cobalt surged 37 percent to $32.70 at 11:15 a.m. in New York. The stock earlier touched $36.51, the highest price since the company first sold shares to the public in December 2009.
Work at the Cameia-1 well confirmed a 1,180-foot (360- meter) oil column, the company said in a statement. Cobalt and its partners will now begin to appraise the well to evaluate the discovery's size, according to the statement.
"The results have exceeded our pre-drill expectations and have increased our confidence in our entire West Africa pre-salt exploration inventory," Joseph Bryant, chairman and chief executive officer of Houston-based Cobalt, said in the statement.
Cobalt said on Jan. 10 its Cameia-1 well in the Kwanza basin found a "high-quality" oil reservoir. BP Plc, ConocoPhillips and Total SA are among oil producers that won licenses in Angola's pre-salt areas largely running from the equator south to the Tropic of Capricorn.
The Cameia well may have the potential to produce more than 20,000 barrels of oil a day, according to Cobalt, which has wells in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa. The company said it plans to start drilling at the Cameia-2 well this month, work that's expected to take 100 to 120 days.
Goldman and private-equity firm Riverstone Holdings LLC each hold 19 percent stakes in Cobalt, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
