Hello, I've lived in a rental apartment my whole life so have zero experience with remodeling. My mother moved into a condo near me and her kitchen needs some upgrading and appliances replaced. I don't even know where one begins. It seems all the blogs/internet info are either DIY or super high-end. Where do people go who need a pro to refurbish cabinets/install new appliances/replace countertops and other such mid-level upgrades? We don't want to spend tons of $$ but also don't want to go DIY IKEA. Any advice, links, tips, starting points, etc greatly appreciated. We're in San Francisco if that helps. thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
PS - she did have a Home Depot person come out and measure but the guy was really rude to her and we weren't that thrilled with how they handled things, so we are hoping to find a better alternative. |
For GCs and cabmakers, I got recommendations from people I knew who had redone their kitchens anytime in the last few years. It's also worth a one-year subscription to Angie's List to be able to read reviews. Definitely google anyone you consider using. You can sometimes find reviews online, but do take some of the comments with a grain of salt. You can get ideas for what appliances will work for you in your price range on the Appliances Forum. If you just want to see what they are likely to cost, check out someplace like AJMadison.com. Local appliance stores will sometimes meet an on-line price. Did you look at the "New to Kitchens" post at the top? Lots of good info there. |
Try a post on here for recommendations for KD, Cabinetmaker, Dealer in San Francisco. Make up a budget number- simply how much your comfortable with. You will be get better results if you walk in and say "I want to spend xyz" than simply "I don't want to spend a lot". In any case they have to figure out if they can help you get what you want and meet your budget. Make it clear that the budget is a priority. It is assumed that people hold back 10%. When I shop I don't, and assume that clients don't, but I'm a little different. IF they think what you want is a priority over budget they are likely to come back with a quote that is over budget. Why? Because everyone that walks through the door want more stuff than they want to spend for. So your leaving them with the choice of either not giving you what you want or not meeting your budget. The trick is to get as much of what you want for what you comfortably want to spend. Have a target date for when you want to be done. Preferably a few months. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Kwanza, Groundhog day as deadlines are not the best idea. Then find 3 places to try. See what they offer, let THEM tell you what and how they do this. What can they offer to meet your budget. Try to look at it as fun, makes it easier. You are just shopping- NO commitment until you are comfortable. Concentrate on gauging who you are working with- what brand is secondary. It's kind of like dating- it can be fun, awful, tedious, absolutely hysterical, eventually you find someone to spend some time with and have a few laughs. |
If you mom is in a condo, can she talk to any of the other residents who might have done a renovation recently? |
What valuable information and suggestions, Jakuvall. Spike, I'm unclear what the actual scope of work you're envisaging is. In any case, I'd pay particular attention to Jakuvall's suggestions, but especially if "refurbishing" means replacing. If what you really want is "refurbishing," maybe a little retrofitting, but not all new cabinets, etc., what you need is a good quality, independent handyman/carpenter. I can name 2 in my area who make a living doing jobs too limited for kitchen shops/contractors all the time and are good at what they do. They're also far less expensive than alternatives. I don't know what my guys're charging these days, but it's probably still around $35/hour labor plus materials. They come with tools, their own insurance, and links to other good independent trades in the area. |
Are you just talking appliances and countertops? Or a whole new layout? Or the same layout and new cabinets? Just be SURE the cabinets are acceptable before putting on a new counter. Appliances can be shuffled around and reused but the counter usually can't. For appliances, I agree that AJMadison is an excellent place to narrow down selections and see what is available in the desired sized appliance. In fact, the local appliance store guy was looking up things on AJ's website as an easy resource. Kinda funny I thought. A budget reno will probably do fine with Sears because they have the standard stuff and frequent sales (although you may wish to special order a few oddball items). It's also not a waste of time to visit the Sears outlet store. Scratch and dent appliances are perfectly fine if the dent is on the side! Counters--have Mom look at stone, tile, laminate (Formica), Corian, etc. and decide. Then you figure out where to buy it and who installs it. If you're replacing cabinets, well, that turns it into a full on kitchen redo and it's the same whether it's budget or not. |
Wow - thanks! This is incredibly helpful. Jackuvall - I will sit down with my mom this weekend and walk through your prep with her. She wants to keep the layout and refrigerator. Her cabs are ok mostly - but they need either refinishing or painting. There is one door that needs replacing and the drawers are crummy. I'm also begging her to get rid of the circa 1979 ceiling panel style fluorescent lights and put in something more pleasant - nothing fancy just something that doesn't make everything that weird greenish color. |
For the flourescant you can change the bulbs. In my studio/showroom we couldn't get rid of all the flourescent so I put in GE reveal bulbs-makes a big difference. Faster and cheaper fix. |
- Posted by angela12345 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 8:11
If it turns out that she is considering replacing any of the cabinets, post your layout here first ! People here are amazingly helpful on getting the most out of your layout. Also, if she is considering refacing (new doors), that can get pretty pricey and for just a little more she could possibly get all new cabinets. Also, I have seen people use the same cabinets they already have but move them around in the kitchen to get a better layout. |

Hello all,
AMD has offered significant sponsorship which will allow
linuxaudio.org to have a stand at the Sounds Expo music technology
trade show in London, 14-16 April 2005. This will be our second
exhibit at Sounds Expo, following generous sponsorship from the
AGNULA project last year.As you may know, AMD has worked closely with the Linux development
community to ensure that Linux can run natively on its 64-bit x86
processors. There is also at least one shipping Linux-based pro audio
product on the market with an AMD processor inside.I will be at Sounds Expo in person, but other people who can help on
the stand are also needed, mostly to answer questions about Linux and
libre software from musicians, sound engineers and hardware
manufacturers. It need not be for all three days - if you can help
out on just one day, that would be great.This is a great opportunity to once again put libre audio software
directly in front of the target users, so please help if you can.Cheers!
Daniel James

So while I am working on the reconfiguring of my kitchen, I thought of something I wanted to ask the great minds of garden web. Formerly, I had the golden oak cabinets, which I painted two tone ( Uppers BM Cloud White, lowers stained with General Finishes Java- thats a different thread eventually) Anywho, Im looking at my window bay, and my sliding doors and the golden oak surrounds are bothering me. Paint or not to paint, this is the question� Thoughts? **Update** Ive already primed the kitchen bay window, and am waiting to give it a sanding before painting it the cloud white. Wow! It really opens up the room!! It enhances the light! In any event, I currently need to paint the entire kitchen, and I am trying to figure out what colors I like best for a two tone kitchen. Attached you will find the color my DH picked (he really wants blue green for some reason) BM Largo Teal. Here is the current color, Laurel Leaf by Behr (when cabinets were golden oak The soffit above- (its a stencil, not wallpaper). I don't know if a dark color will work… The largo teal against the BM Cloud White and the teal against the darker lowers To dark? Other options? My kitchen is always very, very bright due to the windows and the sliding door, so I thought I may be able to get away with a dark color… Thanks!!! |

Follow-Up Postings:
Hmm. I think I'd trying staining one area, first. Sometimes dark woodwork can look absolutely beautiful. Given the Golden Oak color, though, you probably have smaller, builder grade trim. (I hope not.) In which case, painting might be your best bet right from the start. If anything, do paint. BM's Cloud white is so much prettier than any Golden Oak, IMHO. |

and Sorry- its not taking pictures well because its noon here, and very, very bright |
This post was edited by apinksweater on Fri, Mar 14, 14 at 14:18
I'd do the BM Could to go with the uppers. |
BM Cloud would be my choice too |
- Posted by teachertile none (My Page) on Fri, Mar 14, 14 at 14:55
I would paint them the same color as the cabinets since they butt right up against them. |
- Posted by apinksweater (My Page) on Tue, Mar 18, 14 at 14:24
Bumping for the new info! :) |
The paint color looks so different just between your two pictures. No one here can tell you how it'll look on the wall. I'd say get some posterboard and cut it to fit between your counter and cabinets, and paint it with your proposed color to see what you think. Or, if you can get a good shot of a larger amount of your kitchen from further away, perhaps someone here (or over on Home Decorating) can help you envision some different color options using Photoshop. |
You might also want to start a new thread with a different title ("what color to paint kitchen?" or something), because a different set of users might hop into a thread like that who won't see this one due to its current title. |

Penn College's Weatherization Training Center is featured in a U.S. Department of Energy video.
The Weatherization Training Center (WTC) at Pennsylvania College of Technology has expanded operations in response to the growing demand for service fueled by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
The center has trained over 5,000 men and women since 2009 to help low-income households reduce energy consumption and costs in the coming year.
The funding boost is expected to provide 940 jobs in Pennsylvania by 2012 for individuals who will weatherize at least 29,700 more housing units, reducing energy usage in the state by the equivalent of 155,000 barrels of oil a year.
WTC provides competency-based training courses on-site and on-location for employees or contractors of community-based organizations who administer mechanical and building-shell retrofits under the assistance program.
- Competency-based courses approved by Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and mapped to the Job Task Analyses for the Home Energy Professional Certifications developed by the U.S. DOE National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)

Fujifilm has announced its new 10-megapixel FinePix Z30. The exclusive features include fairly basic ultracompact camera with a 3X optical zoom and 2.7-inch LCD.
There are some other features too which makes it quite different from other youth-oriented models.
Apart from having face detection and automatic scene recognition to help with fast shooting, the camera also has a Blog Mode (a carryover from the Z20fd) that apparently preps shots and video so they can go right online for sharing.
The users don't even need to switch to a different mode, since there are separate buttons for the still photo shutter release and movie record. Furthermore, they can also stitch small movie clips together in camera to create a single, 60-second clip.
The device is available in three colors of pink, orange, and black and the users would be able to pick one for $179.95 in March.

"I couldn't find Bulgar so I had to leave it out. Traded teriyaki sauce for the hoisen sauce.
This was DELICIOUS. Only other suggestion is using a little less vinegar and maybe soaking the cucumber and onion for about half as long-the taste was just a bit stronger than we prefer. (Rice wine vinegar very strong)""

Amazing shirt, this is going down as one of my favorites!
I'm really interested in the gradients used in this.
Is this like that little scuba diver guy that was a bath toy you put those dissolving pellets in and it made bubbles?
Good use of color theory on this print. This reminds me of Legos for some reason.... Unsure about buying this though I did have an ex-girlfriend who wanted to survive a shark attack so this would have been a good shirt for her...

Interesting shirt! Wow... looks like nom nom as a descriptor is pretty popular with shark designers. As a scuba diver, this might be a must-have shirt

Hmmm... nice catch. The descriptions lists four colours. Presumably these would be the dark blue, orange, yellow and white. So that is some sort of gradient for the shadows... interesting.
great shirt that shark look plastic. it bit that scuba guy? BTW: 71 hours TurboGraphx16
i think the design woulda been better on a white shirt
I love the colors used in this one. It's definitely a fun shirt that I really like a lot. Congrats to the artist!
*laud laud*. I enjoyed the copy today very much. The shirt, however, I will pass on. XD
condition: OM NOM NOM NOM AHAHHAHAHAH...good thing I didn't read that at work, because the Coke would definately been shot out of my nose and onto my vintage MS keyboard and my cackles would have been heard out to the elevators and back. My son vacuums his thumb and tries to cuddle with my leg and says Om Nom Nom Nom when he's tired and silly. Whew...you had to be there.
Sherpa What!

the shark is part of the shirt color.
You're gonna need a bigger boat.
nice balance of colors!
I really like the colors as well. Red might have been a tad too bold as blood for this fun shirt and I like the blue backdrop for obvious reasons. I'm a waterbaby, I'll probably nab this one.

I can't bring myself to woot this now, but it's a solid design, and would if I had a bit more cash
Kind of Ironic out here in CA, since we recently had a swimmer die after his legs were chomped off... I would say don't wear this shirt to the San Diego County beaches anytime soon, people might not get the humor of the shirt... Then again, I am buying it and look forward to wearing it to work!
Nice... Subtle. A definate almost. ;-)

Since the first time I caught Studio Ghibli's 2001 anime Spirited Away, I've always had a special place in my heart for the animation studio dubbed the "Disney of the East". In preparation for my visit in the next few weeks to the Studio Ghibli museum in Tokyo, I thought I'd take a look at a few of the titles I've yet not seen, including the latest title to receive a western release - Ponyo, otherwise known by its literal translation, Ponyo on the Cliff. Ponyo is described in the story as a 'goldfish', but resembles something more akin to a humanised child-fish. A chance encounter with a young boy named Sosuke, creates a desire for her to become a human, which is strongly forbidden by her steadfast father Fujimoto. But when Ponyo escapes her father's watch to be reunited with Sosuke once more, it will take more than encouragement to keep Ponyo below water. It would be easy to infer the parallels between Ponyo and Hans Christian Andersons' The Little Mermaid and the Disney movie of the same name, but in reality there really isn't much more in the way of similarities. Whilst I enjoyed Ponyo for the most part, I struggled with the concept of grounding the film in reality, but implementing many unreal elements that the characters (especially the adult caretakers) accept in their stride. I don't mind fantasy or the suspension of disbelief, but I found other Ghibli entries such as Spirited Away handled the real and the unreal with much more care. Just like the human characters in Toy Story are unaware of the toys anthropomorphism, I prefer films to withhold certain knowledge from breaking the illusion and setup. Despite this, Ponyo is another quality animated film from the studio, filled with some rich and beautifully rendered designs and colourful illustrations which really pop from the screen. Video Ponyo is presented in a full screen aspect ratio of 1.85:1 (its original aspect ratio), encoded with AVC MPEG-4 compression. The sumptuous visuals are really given the chance to shine on Blu-ray, so much so that it reveals some of the animation shortcuts. The image is sharp and crisp at all times. The expanded HD colour gamut really allows the full spectrum of colour to come alive. Suffice to say, this gets top marks from me, up there with some of the best transfers yet committed to Blu-ray disc. [img]2[/img] Audio The Disney produced English audio track is encoded in uncompressed PCM at 24 bits, and the original Japanese language track is encoded with DTS HD Master Audio at 24 bits. I listened to the entirety of the film with the English dub and sampled the original Japanese language track. Of note is the American release of the disc, for Disney Home Entertainment has only given the original Japanese dub of the film a lossy Dolby Digital audio track, unlike here. Kudos to Madman for going above and beyond. I'm happy to say that the audio tracks here are almost as impressive as the video transfer. Of note is some of the most impressive audio recording I've yet heard for an animated film. The front sound stage has some clear separation, but it's the surrounds that impress the most - with some extremely immersive split surround effects. The waves of the ocean travel from left to right and back again, creating a very realistic soundscape. Overall, a pretty spectacular audio sound mix, regardless of the language of choice. | Extras [img]3[/img] Madman Entertainment have created a good Blu-ray disc, using the best elements from the worldwide DVD and Blu-ray releases of Ponyo. First up is the feature length Storyboard Experience which uses the picture-in-picture function to include a small window of the films storyboards in sync with the finished film. The next few featurettes produced for the English dub give a bit of background to the film and an explanation of Studio Ghibli in an international sense. Meet Ponyo is a short interview with regular Spielberg collaborators Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy who acted as producers for the English dub. Of note is the work of reclusive E.T. writer Mellisa Mathison who acted as a consultant for the dub. The aptly named A conversation with Hayao Miyazaki and John Lassetter is just that - bringing together the famed director with Pixar's equally famous studio head. Behind the Microphone: The Voices of Ponyo looks at the faces behind the voices of the English dub, Creating Ponyo takes a look at the genesis of the Miyazaki process, Ponyo and Fujimoto discusses the creation of two of the leading characters. The Nursery discusses some of the changes made to the film during production (shades of the Pixar process here), Scoring Miyazaki looks behind the scenes of the amazing orchestral score by Miyazaki regular Joe Hisaishi, The Locations of Ponyo looks at a few of the real world locations that inspired Miyazaki. Dubbing Session and Interview with the Japanese cast is a English subtitled fly on the wall documentary look at the all important vocal sessions, featuring coaching by Miyazaki. Animated films are generally recalcitrant to show this level of behind the scenes, but no such fear here. The Five Geniuses who created Ponyo is a 50 minute, made for Japan documentary (but subtitled in English) which focuses on the five biggest talents at Studio Ghibli, and gives an over-arching view of the production. Two Interviews are up next; the first with Director Hayao Miyazaki and the next with Toshio Suzuki Interview. Subtitled in English, both are relatively in-depth and feature a scope far in excess of just their films. The Theme Song Music Video is nothing like we have in western countries, I can assure you. I really have no idea what the theme is here, but it is definitely the main theme to Ponyo. Finally, we have an assortment of Japanese Trailers and TV spots, but disappointingly none from the western release. |

I've looked all over the internet, and I can't figure out how many calories 2-3 cups of thinly sliced steak is. Can someone help? I'm trying to count calories. Sorry I don't know the type of cut the steak was.
Food Talk And Fabulous Finds - How many calories in steak?View Full Version : How many calories in steak? Serval87 06-15-2011, 01:36 AM I've looked all over the internet, and I can't figure out how many calories 2-3 cups of thinly sliced steak is. Can someone help? I'm trying to count calories. Sorry I don't know the type of cut the steak was. kaplods 06-15-2011, 02:09 AM Steak cuts vary so tremendously in calories, it's almost impossible to estimate calories without knowing the cut and the approximate weight of the steak. Volume measurements are tough because the calories would depends on how thinly the steak was cut, as that would change how much would fit into a cup. It also depends on whether you're estimating a loosely or tightly packed cup. Even the cooking method and whether the meat was cooked to rare or well-done and whether or not the steak was marinated (and if so, what was in the marinade), all can affect calorie count. Although the cut of steak and the weight of the steak would have the most impact on the calories. Literally, the calorie count could come to anywhere from 350 - 2000 calories. (It's not a typo, I really did say three hundred and fifty to two thousand calories). A food scale really is tremendously helpful, because then you don't have to deal with the issue of how tightly the food would be packed into a measuring cup. And you don't have to spend a ton of money, sometimes you can even find food scales in dollar stores. They're not as accurate as a higher quality scales of course, but they're still a lot better than eyeballing. I like to weigh food because I know that it's impossible for any food to have more than 9 calories per gram (or 250 calories per ounce), so I always know the upper limit. And if it doesn't feel greasy or doesn't leave a translucent stain on a piece of printer paper I also know that it probably doesn't have more than 4 to 5 calories per gram (because fat leaves a grease stain that pure protein and carbs generally don't. Collagen/gelatin from meat with bones can be a little tricky because it does feel like fat in the mouth, but it's not that often that you're dealing with whole joints of meat anyway). One of the reasons I switched to an exchange plan was because of the difficulty in counting meat calories. In exchange plans meats are fairly simple - one ounce usually is one protein. If it's medium fat (you can taste and see fat, but it doesn't taste greasy) for every ounce of meat, you also count one fat exchange as well, and if it feels/tastes greasy you count one more fat. If there's more fat than meat (like bacon) then you count 1 ounce of fat as 3-4 fat exchanges. I know that doesn't help you. I just got carried away in explaining. Serval87 06-15-2011, 06:11 AM Thank you. I was going to get a scale eventually. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. The meat was super tender, very thin, a little greasy, not fatty, and was not cooked in oil. Only spices were added. kaplods 06-15-2011, 10:36 PM Personally, I'd estimate it as 500 or 600 and move on. Even if it's way off, one error isn't a big deal in the scheme of things (although little errors can add up fast). It takes 3500 calories to affect your weight loss by one pound. So even if you're wrong it means you will have lost at most a half pound or so less than you would have if you'd been more acurate. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Review by
DEVEN from New hope, MN
I love all the features on this unit. I think the price was ok too. I would have been happier if the screen was a little brighter or had options to change colors on the display itself. The buttons are small and the joystick knob is not friendly at all. I am able to accommodate a double din receiver into my vehicle, so I will be returning this item to SONIC for double din Clarion HU with larger displays. I will miss the fact that the iPod is hidden, but I think I can sacrifice using a front USB cable on the Clarion for a larger LCD display. Other than that, the unit is solid and has many features to adjust.

The Lions parted company with assistant coach Carlos Spencer and conditioning coach Wayne Taylor with immediate effect.
The Johannesburg-based union issued a press statement which confirmed the duo's dismissals.
"The Golden Lions Rugby Union announced that MTN Lions coaches Carlos Spencer (backline coach) and Wayne Taylor (conditioning coach) had their contracts terminated," the statement said.
Head coach John Mitchell was suspended in June, following allegations of a player revolt, and was replaced on an interim basis by forwards coach Johan Ackermann.
Last season, Mitchell guided the Lions to their first Currie Cup title since 1999, but they ended the recently concluded Super Rugby campaign at the bottom of the table, having won only three of their 16 fixtures.

The radio said this morning that a couple of investment accounts with investment dealers in the Toronto area, relating to tens of thousands of dollars, had been raided by hackers, with the investments being sold and other, speculative investments bought. They thought that the purpose was to generate activity in the speculative accounts and thus try to get the prices to rise artificially.
There was a suggestion that the investors who owned the accounts were working from a home computer, and may have been invaded by a spy system that recorded keystrokes, thus were able to learn PIN numbers. Thought you might like to know. ole joyful |

No one should be doing banking, investing or any other financial stuff on the internet with a Windows computer. It's just not secure. |
Let's be realistic. You make sure you have adequate antivirus, anti-spyware, and firewall software, you utilize reliable institutions that aren't going to leave you in the lurch if there is unauthorized activity, and you monitor your accounts. Society is not going to turn its back on the convenience and advantages of online transactions. You can also be mugged walking to the bank... |
Large organizations have been known to take the view that they didn't do it ... ... so they ain't payin'. These guys were out tens of thousands, I believe. Hackers put in order to sell their good stocks - and buy crap stocks. Which they, or their friends, principals of scrap companies that hired their call centre to shill their stock, had millions of worthless shares to peddle. The couldn't order the stock broker to send them cash from hacked accounts - but they could order the account to buy large amounts of worthless shares. Haven't heard yet what's to be done about it. Going to a meeting of an investment group tonight - someone will likely have heard. One learns a lot of good stuff from that group - two heads are better than one (even if they are cabbage) ... ... and two dozen, better yet. ole joyful |

text: Hi, I have a question and was wondering if any of you can answer it. What happens if you have too much of a dose of thyroid med.My doc. office just called and they are lowering it. Can this make it hard to lose weight if you have to much of a dose? I have had this for 3 years and I have been on 3 different doses. I have gained and lost weight, but within the last 5 months they have lowered it from 175 to 125 now. I did gain a huge ampount of weight which I think fairly quickly this summer. I blamed it on stress. Than a new doc. lowered it to 150. This is what I was on for a while. I went to a new doc and they lowered it to 125. I am still heavy and have just lost 12 pds on sb. Even though I lost the weight I am still heavier than I was when I started the meds and I was on 150. I do not understand why the doc. keep changing it. Did it take you all a long time to get it under contrrol? I am so sick of gaining losing gaining or not doing anything when I am trying soooooo hard. I know there are alot of questions here. But I am really wondering what are the side effects when you are taking too much medicine ? I am hopping I can blame this weight fluctuations on that.

Lots of coding....shoutcast, php, assign something to IP..
Could someone tell me if this is possible? Thanks.
If someone could code this that'd be great....if not I can go and look it all up and figure it out. :-D
Or, if someone could tell me if this is possible.
I want to set up a "rewards" program for my shoutcast server...
What it is, is every hour they listen, they get half a point, and when they want to they can cash in their points.
What I would want it like:
Let's say they click the "rewards" link. They would see this.
(If first time viewing the page)
*welcome message*
Your IP is (javascript displaying IP)
Please assign a username to this IP address so we can track your points.
It would then assign that username to that IP address. Then:
(2nd visit on)
Welcome *username assigned*!
You have XX Points!
[Cash Out]
What that would do, somehow, is read their IP and match it up with the username assigned earlier. Now, for the "XX Points" that would be somehow decided with shoutcast.
In the shoutcast log, it shows
[dest: 220.127.116.11] connection closed (24 seconds) (UID: 90)[L: 0]{Bytes: 635439}(P: 1)
For the cash out button, I can code most of this, but I also want it to reset the number of points they have to 0.
So if this could be coded/told if possible I'd really appriciate that.

First of all IP's are unreliable if you want to track something for a long amount of time. Some (actually a lot) have dynamic IP's so you should assign points to a user whohas a session with that IP. I'd say it's doable but the "how" is a mystery for me.
I'm not sure if this was any help, but I hope it didn't make you stupider.
Experience is something you get just after you really need it.

you can't use IP's. You can't use sessions either (since the sesion can be destroyed by the garbage collection if the user waits to long or if there are a lott os sessions).
the most simple sollution is to just work with useraccounts and either
- require a login from the user on each visit
- automatically log the users in based on a cookie
you know, like the rest of the net does...

LG might be producing larger phones but they decided to go in the opposite direction with this wireless charger. The WCP-300 has just been announced and it's the world's smallest wireless charger. It's capable of charging any device that is Qi compatible. The device will be launching this week in Korea and will make its way to the US and other markets later in the year.
BARCELONA, Feb. 26, 2013 – LG Electronics (LG) today introduced the world's smallest wireless charger at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. At only 6.9cm in diameter, the WCP-300 is designed with portability in mind. Despite its di-minutive size, the charging area is 1.7 times wider than that of LG's previous generation wireless charger. The new model is compatible with a standard 5-pin micro-USB charger, providing the highest level of charging performance and user convenience.
The WCP-300 employs electromagnetic induction technology and is Qi certified by the Wireless Power Consortium. Electromagnetic induction produces a magnetic field that in turn generates an electric current to charge the batteries in devices placed on the charging pad. Certification ensures that the WCP-300 is compatible with all smart-phones that support the Qi standard.
"Wireless charging is the holy grail of smartphone user convenience," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "With the WCP-300, LG was able to deliver both portability with top-class charging capabilities in a device no larger than a typical beverage coaster."
In the US market, both the LG Spectrum 2 and Nexus 4 feature built-in support for wireless charging right out of the box, eliminating the need to purchase separate covers. LG believes that built-in support for upcoming smartphones will be the most critical development in making wireless charging the industry standard going forward.
LG is committed to offering consumers a better mobile user experience by introducing smartphones with more advanced wireless charging technologies in the global market.

1 sheet frozen ready-to-bake puff pastry, defrosted
3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
14 pieces Werther's Original Caramels, unwrapped
Tastes okay although it was a bit to sweet. I made it exactly as the recipe instructed and it just didn't turn out properly.
Tastes great and makes the house smell wonderful. However, like stated before the caramels did not melt evenly. Also, the ready-to-bake pastry is too small to cut into a round shape. I will make it again but basically know I will have to wing it on the directions :-(

Too sweet for my taste!
Will not make again! The caramels did not melt evenly and quickly became hard again quickly. Not gooey at all like expected. I watched it being made on TV and looked so wonderful but I was very disappointed.
Would not make again. The caramels return to hard too quickly. Not gooy at all.

Pretty... but waaaaay too glittery. Nope, nope. Not worth the fallout and ruining the rest of your face. Very frustrating to work with. Would not recommend any of UD's glittery shades.

This was my first UD eyeshadow. Grifter is a beautiful and sparkly lilac shade which has an ethereal effect on my eyes. When I say sparkly, I do NOT mean shimmery. This has straight up glitter in it. Normally I would shy away from glitter but this glitter is very fine and snow-like. I feel like a fairy tale princess when I wear this shadow. The only reason I gave it 4 lippies is that the glitter fall-out is horrible. It stays put with the help of a good primer but even just removing this eyeshadow is very messy and leaves glitter all over the place.

This is not lavender. This is a rather sheer, cool, light, slightly purpley pink, i.e. lilac, with lots of matching microglitter. I might conceivably repurchase this due to my love of cool pinks, but US$17 is pretty steep, particularly considering that I can probably find something a bit more purple, which I prefer, and that I already have this in two UD palettes (which I only buy because of the "ooh, shiny!" factor.)

I got Grifter in the Ammo Palette. It's a beautiful lilac lavender-y color. :) Looks pretty with my brown eyes. The glitter on this isn't the typical Urban Decay glitter. It reminds me more of how fresh snow looks. Glistening and shiny. :) I applied this shadow wet and PATTED it on. I didn't get any fallout. I paired this with Crash and it was super pretty. When I first saw this color in the palette I thought to myself that I would never wear it because it looked like a cool pink to me, which I can't really do cool tones very easily. But this is very pretty on! I'm excited to try this with more colors. :)

I completely agree with the other reviewers that said this is a must-have for brown eyed girls. It's such a pretty colour that it looks great just as a wash, and makes my brown eyes stand out. Sometimes I add a bit of purple e/l like UD lust, and it's such a simple, pretty look. I have no problems with fallout, just use a damp brush and pat it on.

I got this eye shadow in the Urban Decay 'Alice In Wonderland' palette.
This is an icy lavender with a fine glitter finish, which does lead to a little fall out.
This is a lovely colour but it doesn't have brilliant longevity and is a little translucent.
Look's good teamed with Urban Decay's 'Flash'.

This is one of my first eyeshadow purchases. This pink-purple color really pops my eye color which is hazel. I don't use it a lot because I find other products more fascinating. For a fun or halloween look, I would use this color. I won't be purchasing this item again because it's not necessary.

Bread for the World: Women Key to Ending Hunger, Improving Child Nutrition
WASHINGTON, March 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Bread for the World announced that it recognizes today as International Women's Day, and called it an opportunity to celebrate the achievements women make in the workplace and at home, as entrepreneurs and as mothers.
With The Hunger Project, based in New York City, Bread for the World calls on our nation's leaders to focus greater attention on the links between gender equality and hunger in the developing world if we are to reverse the recent worldwide increase in hunger and poverty, according to Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World.
"Around the world, 70 percent of those who suffer from hunger and poverty are women. In addition to serving as the primary caregivers for their children's health and well-being, women also comprise the majority of small-holder farmers who struggle each long day to grow enough food to feed them," he said. "Despite the vital roles women play, inequalities in education, economic empowerment, political participation, and access to basic health services have a strong impact on hunger and malnutrition. Gender inequality must end in order for us to reach the Millennium Development Goals to cut world hunger in half by 2015."
Rev. Beckmann added that the strongest correlations exist between hunger and lack of education. "Educated women in the developing world have higher self-esteem and are more likely to avoid early pregnancies, HIV infection, domestic violence, and exploitation," he said. "Also, an educated mother is far more likely to send her children to school, so that they can one day find a good job and break the cycle of poverty."
The United States has identified fighting hunger and improving nutrition as key priorities of its foreign assistance agenda. Sustained improvements in the lives of hungry and poor people around the world will only be possible if investments are made to improve the health and well-being of women and small children. Supporting women as food producers and caregivers is critical if we are to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and achieve a brighter future for all people.
For more information about International Women's Day, or women's role in fighting hunger and poverty, visit www.bread.org/womensday.
Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation's decision makers
to end hunger at home and abroad.

Apple's Snow Leopard Leaping Forward At Lighting Speed
by Ron CallariThe Snow Leopard Operating System's video was taken down from YoutTube by Apple preventing folks like us getting an advance peek under the hood. However, since this new operating system is being premiered at Apple's WWCD June 8-12 in San Francisco, we were able to retrieve some first-hand reports from the Confab and surface a video by APPLEBuzz. The insights I uncovered will show you what makes Apple's new OS purr like a domestic kitten and race like a wild cat.
Funware, A New Game Theory For Marketers
by Ron CallariThe generation of the new online game players has motivated consumer brands, websites and charities to use gaming devices to attract attention to their products and services. "Funware" is the application of game-like qualities to non-games. Researchers say that when we play online games, we enter a "flow state" that makes us receptive to the images and information we encounter. While traditional commercials interrupt that state, funware allows for these messages to seep through.
Spark.ly, the Dungeons & Dragons of Social Networks?
by Ron CallariSpark.ly describes itself as the "definitive social and economic ecosystem that empowers people around the world to communicate, engage in commerce and have fun in a culturally aware and profitable virtual environment." With a BETA launch date of June 16, 2009, nobody knows yet whether that description is an illusion, bravado, grand self-promotion or truly the next big shiny thing. To date there are no blogs written, no product announcements, and no press releases to alert the media. One would think with a June 9th launch date, Spark.ly should be 'sparking' a few conversations out there? Or is this part of their master marketing plan to create buzz about their emerging online kingdom?
Social Networking Brave New World of China
by Ron CallariOn June 4, 2009 during the 20th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, the government actually shut down access to Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Flickr. Then Hotmail blipped off the radar, followed by Bing, Microsoft's latest search engine. Repression was rampant as a Great Firewall went up to prevent Chinese webizens from mourning online in their respective virtual worlds. Is Big Brother alive and well in China?
Gillette Goes Viral With The Hair Down There
by Ron CallariDid the Age of Viral Advertising meet the Age of Aquarius? Does hair down there have a place in mainstream advertising? Well Gillette seems to think so. Since mid-May when it started its ad campaign about shaving the short hairs with their Gillette Fusion razor, its YouTube video has racked up over 890,000 page views.
Unpack Your BING Before You Travel
by Ron CallariBing Travel aims to dramatically reduce the amount of time consumers spend searching for travel information by presenting comprehensive results in one place, and to help consumers make more informed decisions. According to a recent survey by Bing Travel, more than fifty percent of potential travelers search three or more sites before booking their flight and hotel arrangements. By aggregating Expedia, Cheap Tickets, Cheapoair, Priceline and Booking Buddy on the Bing Travel site, travelers can not only search for flights and hotels but book without ever leaving the search engine.
Google Squared - Hollywood Squares For The Digerati
by Ron CallariGoogle has gone anal, and for all those A-Type personalities that like things neat and tidy, have they got a search engine for you. In a recent move by the Big-G, there is now a way to take all that unstructured data you've been searching for, and collating and sorting it into an orderly spreadsheet of labeled boxes. Literally, that is what Google Squared does. It uses the principles of 'semantic' search, gathering information from multiple sources to present you with all the information required to answer your query. First announced at Google's recent Searchology event, Google Squared is now live and operational in Beta.
Blu-ray Hits The Streets: World's First Portable Available This Month
by Chris WeissIf you enjoy Blu-rays but hate being trapped inside your home, the new Panasonic DMP-B15 is a necessary upgrade. Take your Blu-rays wherever you go and then connect to your HDTV when you're ready to sit and relax.
Twine...Digg on Ritalin!
by Ron CallariThe digital doorway to Web 3.0 is beginning to ease open ever so slightly, as we learn more and more about semantic technology. Now joining the excitement of Wolfram Alpha and Google Wave is a small start-up called Twine. In the grand scheme of things, Twine might be a fledgling to the social networking space, but its definitely pushing the Web 2.0 envelope inside out with its debut. Similar to online aggregators like Kayak for travel sites or Indeed.com for job seekers, Twine acts as an aggregator of articles, blogs, documents and videos that you can accumulate from friends, associates or as a result of your own research. Twine then ties it neatly all together by topic, so you can have it in one place and can connect with other twiners with similar interests.
Siri, Advice from Virtual Personal Assistants
by Ron CallariRemember the computer "HAL 9000" in the movie "2001 Space Odyssey," that acted like a personal navigator? Remember when you had personal assistants to help execute some of your everyday menial tasks? Well, a new shift in searching the Internet is going to make that technology, a reality. Virtual Personal Assistants are coming to a mobile device or computer near you this summer. Siri brings a very advanced collection of technologies (speech recognition, natural language processing, semantic data processing, and geo-location) to create a digital assistant that will help you perform tasks through a conversational, question-and-answer interface.
Top Ten "Have Netbook Will Travel" Options
by Ron CallariThis side of the millennium has spawned legions of "on the go" digerati who need their electronics to travel with them...and units that can offer the same computer features that we are use to having at home and in our offices. Netbooks are unique in their size, speed and functionality...and based on their light weight, they travel well. Whether you call them Netbooks, mini-laptops, or quasi-notebooks, these small, low-cost, low-power systems are the hottest thing to hit the electronics scene... since the first laptops!
NKOTB 'Hangin' Tough' (From Virginity To Menopause) Polls
by Ron CallariIf you've followed the Tink! blogs, you are loyal NKOTB fans, or "Blockheads" as you affectionately like to refer to yourselves. As a writer, what I've found amazing is the number of fans who have waited faithfully in hibernation until the NKOTB's return in 2008. Some of you experienced NKOTB in your teen years and have not wavered in your support during their 14 year hiatus. Many of you are now adults, and others are mothers returning with their daughters (now the same age they were when they first were introduced to NKOTB). In advance of NKOTB's Summer Tour, here are 6 quick polls that will determine some of the demographics and preferences of the NKOTB fan base. Take the "Hangin' Tough' (From Virginity To Menopause) Polls.
Ghostbusters,The Video Game Coming to Your Neighborhood...
