I want to make this shawl for my mom: comfort shawl. I have a question: the pattern calls for circular needles. Can I use straight needles instead? I've used circular needles and I know a lot of people love using them, but I don't... just want to know if I'll complicate things by doing this on straight needles. I'm guessing it will so I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy more but I thought I'd ask the experts first.
Thanks! |

It's not absolutely necessary that you use a circular needle, but you may find it difficult to fit the 213 stitches you will end up all on one straight needle. If you could find some flex needles that are long enough, that might work. Otherwise, as you say, you may just have to bite the bullet and use the circulars. |
LOL -- I completely missed the 213 stitches -- guess that answers that question! Under those circumstances I think I'll be happier with the circulars. Thanks, Donna, for taking the time to look at this and see what I couldn't! |

You're welcome. |

You could always switch to straight needles when it is decreased in the number of stitches enough to do so. |
- Posted by donna_loomis (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 07 at 22:53
Except that it starts at the smaller end. So, you could use the straights to start off with and just switch to the circulars when there are too many stitches to handle on the straights. |
I hated circs the first time I tried them, but now I won't use anything else. Everything seems so heavy on straights. Maybe you are not used to circs yet? |
- Posted by threejsmom (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 07 at 9:07
There are additional advantages to doing a shawl on circulars. When it gets larger, the weight is evenly distributed on the cables and minimized on your wrists. If you use a long cable you can also spread out the stitches to check for mistakes or dropped stitches or count more easily. |
- Posted by donna_loomis (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 07 at 11:33
Carol Ann, is it possible that one of the reasons you don't like circulars is that there isn't as much needle to hold onto? I've heard that from others who say they don't like circulars. If so, take a look at some different brands than the one's you've used. Some of them have longer needles and might be more comfortable for you to work with. |
Donna, that's exactly it -- I'm used to having more space for my fingers -- I bought new ones this morning (I needed a new size anyway) that are longer so maybe I'll like these better. And as others mentioned, it's also partly not being used to them... I know there are some good advantages with circulars. Maybe this shawl will get me over the hump with them! Thanks, everyone! |
OK -- one more thing I don't like about circulars, which I remembered when I started swatching this afternoon with my new ones -- I don't like the way the cable is kind of stiff and never seems to loop the way I want it to. Seems like it's a regular battle to keep it out of my way and sometimes it gets tangled up in the yarn when I finish a row and swap needles in my hands to start a new row... I tried soaking the cable briefly in very warm water to get the extra loop out and that helped but it still has the curve from a loop in it and just seems to get in my way. (Is this making sense?) Any advice?.... |
- Posted by donna_loomis (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 07 at 19:05
Advice, yes, but probably not the kind you want to hear. I have mostly bamboo (Clover) circulars. And they aren't really a problem for me in the longer lengths. But the shorter lengths seem somehow "obstinate" to me. They don't want to curve in quite the direction I want them to. I have spent more money than I would like on a few pair of Addi needles, but they are so much more "cooperative", if you get my drift. I also brought some sweet circulars for socks from KnitPicks online and they, too, are a dream to work with. So, my advice is, do a little research and probably pay a little more for your needles (though that goes against everything in me) and you'll probably be much happier. |
Thanks, Donna. I don't mind spending more on needles if there's a reason -- and it looks like there is :) |

There are several brands with nice flexible cables. Knitpicks, that Donna mentioned, has interchangeable metal and wood needles with a great cord and the prices are very reasonable. You can buy one or two pairs and the cords separately to try them out. Addis and Hiya Hiya metal needles also have very flexible cords. If you prefer plastic, the Bryspun circulars have a nice cord. What length needle are you using? Some of the shorter lengths like 16 inches have shorter needles or a bend to allow you to knit without straining your wrists. Now I just buy the 40 inch ones which allow me to do Magic Loop for knitting in the round as well as flat knitting. The needle portion is about 5 inches on the Addis and Hiyas, maybe a little shorter on the Knitpicks. |

The Aperture and iPhoto Libraries, they're actually these wonderful containers that hold your data, your thumbnails, your original images. Very handy! It's like having a very cool grocery bag to carry all these items so you don't have to juggle them in your arms. And these containers can be moved and they can be renamed. Now, to move them, it's very simple. You basically just click and drag them to wherever you want. And you can create folders to organize these at the Finder level wherein our Exercise File folder right now, which is inside the Pictures folder and I can open that up and there they are.
Now, if I want to rename, there are two ways that you can do that. One is you can just click on the name itself and type. That's one way to do it. Now, I actually use Get Info most of the time for renaming, because it allows me to look at some of the other things that are going on. So, I'm just going to click on the file and I'm going to do Command+I right here and I could name it, for example, at Dusk, and hit the Tab key to enter it.
You noticed that it changes right away in the Finder. While I'm in Get Info, I can check to see the default application that this library will open with, how big it is when it was last modified. So, there are some other goodies in here. That's why I normally go here. But you can do it either way. And then, I'll just click Close right here. So there we go. Now, I'm not going to leave it at this name. I prefer just Sunflowers. So, let's just go back.
Command+I again and I'm just going to take at Dusk out. Hit the Tab key. Close, and just like that. So, you can move these containers around. You can rename them. There are two different ways that I like to do it. I love Get Info. Either way, you have control over how these libraries read and where they are located.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.

Welcome to Arizona and the forum. We hope to see a lot of posts from you. :) I LOVE the books that thisisme suggested. I've got each one of them and really love them. One other one to think about is Palm Springs Garden Style which has tons of great pics, plus the sort of personal gardening plant experiences that only someone from our climate would know about and describe. I'll put a link to it online below, but most larger local bookstores should have a copy too. Let us know which books you read and which you find useful and helpful, and keep us posted on your garden!

I have used Native Plants for Southwestern Landscape by Judy Mielke. She is a local landscape designer. Also The Arizona Low Desrert Flower Garden by Kirti Mathura is helpful for flowering plants. |
Don't trust any book. We run a nursery out here and have so many people come to us asking for items that just don't make it out here! Your best bet is go to a local nursery and see what they have. On average we get approximately 10 calls a week for plants and trees that just don't fly in our climate. Thanks JP |

Like I said before, Texas Star is a hibiscus. I'm not sure what you mean by the flower is shaped like a hibiscus. There are many shapes to hibiscus blooms. There are single, cartwheel overlapping single, windmill single, fringed single, crested single and so on and so forth and them we go to the doubles, semi-doubles, and so on and so forth :-). There is a plant I think called Fireball that is similar to Texas star, but with a slightly different bloom. A closeup photo of the bloom might help:-). |

The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail - Crossing Course at Magnolia Grove
Mobile, Alabama
Wednesday Pre-Tournament Notes
May 21, 2014
Rolex Rankings No. 1 Inbee Park
Rolex Rankings No. 2 Stacy Lewis
Rolex Rankings No. 12 Michelle Wie
Rolex Rankings No. 54 Jennifer Johnson
Much of the country suffered through either a cold winter or an extremely wet spring and many golf courses were affected. The overall consensus from the players is that the Robert Trent Jones Trail held up extremely well despite the weather.
"It usually is pretty firm when we're here, but the ball's starting to release out the last few days. It's definitely dried out but the greens are holding, which is nice for us actually." Lewis said. "I think it's going to be a little soft to start the week but I think it just gets firm as the week goes on, which is good. But the greens are rolling great, they're fast. Fairways, everything's really in good shape. You wouldn't even know that you had a bad winter."
If past performances are any indication, the key to winning here is to go low and keep making birdies. Inbee Park hasn't played here for three years but thinks there will be plenty of low scores out there this week.
"The greens seems like it's a little bit more -- a little bit bouncy." Park said. "But I still think there's a lot of
birdies out there. It will be a good scoring golf course."
There is no biggie foodie on the LPGA tour than Michelle Wie. The #12 ranked player in the world spends a great deal of time on the road scouting out great food locations and the better the restaurants, the more she enjoys the city. Mobile is one city that hold a special place in her stomach.
"I'm really excited to be here and some good food this week." Wie said. "The clubhouse food is amazing, it's definitely one of the stops that we look forward to every year. There's a lot of just great restaurants in Mobile, a lot of great seafood, so I'm really excited for that."
At the age of just 29 years old, Stacy Lewis find herself as one of the veterans on tour. As a veteran, and someone who has had a lot of success out here, many of the younger players look to her for guideance and watch her for lessons on how to be a true professional.
When asked how she feels playing the role of leader out here on tour she said it feels a bit strange.
"I don't consider myself old but I guess I am compared to all the other standards. It's fun." Lewis said. "It makes you kind of keep you on your toes and realize that you have to make sure what you're doing is right because people are always watching you, they're watching how you're handling things and what you're doing."
Knowing you are being watched has some pressure but that is a role that Lewis has embraced.
"I like giving the younger ones advice. " Lewis said. "I like to see them do it the right way and learn along the way. You know, hopefully when they're my agethey're bringing sponsors in and doing things for the Tour."
Defending Champ, Jennifer Johnson, is focused on returning to the Winner's Circle this week at the Airbus LPGA Classic Presented by JTBC. Last year she clinched the win by shooting a 65 on both Saturday and Sunday, and Johnson expects similar results this year.
"Just trying to shoot the same thing as I did last year," Johnson said. "I'm always trying to do better than I did the year before."
Johnson has had a struggle returning to the top of the leader board this season, but momentum is on her side. During last week's tournament in Kingsmill she tallied a season best 12th place finish.
"All of the memories coming back," Johnson said. "I love this place, the course. It is just a lot of fun."
As Johnson begins her first-round Thursday, she looks for those memories to help guide her back to the leader board this weekend here in Mobile.
If the final field is set as it stands as of 6:00p CST, there are a few scenarios that have to play out for Stacy Lewis to regain the Rolex World #1 Ranking. Here are five different scenarios.
For Stacy to take over #1:
-Will take #1 with a win regardless of other finishes
-Will take #1 with a solo second and Inbee finishes T4 with two or more players or worse.
-Will take #1 with a T2 with one other player and Inbee finishes 9th or worse
-Will take #1 with a T2 with two other players and Inbee finishes 17th or worse
-Will take #1 with a solo 3rd and Inbee finishes 26th or worse
**DISCLAIMER: If the field changes before the tournament begins on Thursday morning, these scenarios will change.
Inbee Park has been holding the No. 1 spot on the Rolex World Rankings for 58 straight weeks. Players such as No. 2 Stacy Lewis and No. 3 Lydia Ko have been in the hunt to chase the top spot, and their time could be approaching.
"I don't really think about that No. 1 spot," Park said. "Everybody talks about being No. 1 and if you have a big lead, small lead or how many weeks are you going to hold, you could be No. 2 next week. I don't think about that."
Park knows that there is a chance that the No. 1 spot could be taken over by another player in the next few weeks. The movement is part of the game and she has acknowledged that she will move up and down in the rankings.
"I just think that numbers take my fun away," Park said. "So I'm just trying to enjoy the game and not think so much about the numbers. It doesn't really matter to me. I reached my goals and I've put myself into position where I want to."
Members of the Wounded Warriors Project, Bobby Dove and Brian Lowen, improved their golf game with the help of Nicole Castrale Wednesday. Castrale hosted the men for a clinic as part of the Wounded Warriors Project initiative in Mobile.
"It's been great" Dove said. "I would jump on the opportunity if we could do more events like this out here."
"You know, one, I just think at any age to qualify for the U.S. Open is impressive, it doesn't matter if you're 11 or if you're 30. I don't know, it's not something I would encourage kids to do. I like to see kids get better at every level, win as a junior, win at college golf, win in high school golf and then come out here and play. But one week out of the year, let's do it, have some fun with it, but I hope it's not a trend we see continuing."
-Stacy Lewis when asked what she thinks about 11-year old Lucy Li qualifying for the U.S. Open.
The social scene
Airbus has done a great job decorating the course for the event this week. The work put in was not lost on the players who took to social media to show their appreciation of the event.

MODERATOR: All right, I'd like to welcome Inbee Park into the media center today. Inbee, you've held the top spot in the Rolex Rankings now for 58 straight weeks. When you first took over the spot, did you ever envision that you would keep it this long or did you have a number in mind for how long you did want to hold onto it?
INBEE PARK: No, I didn't, I didn't have a number in mind how many weeks I wanted to be there or how many weeks I was going to be there, but just I was playing week by week and trying to have, you know, bigger gap and just tried to play better every weekend. I think that's been already over a year. Yeah, it's pretty surprising.
MODERATOR: Knowing that you're No. 1 and everyone's out here chasing you down, does each week that goes by, is that added pressure with the way that you play, how you approach each tournament?
INBEE PARK: I mean, I don't really feel much of a pressure or I don't really think about that No. 1 spot as much as other people think. Everybody talks about being No. 1 and if you have a big lead, small lead or how many weeks are you going to hold, you could be No. 2 next week. I don't think about that. I really think I don't mind, you know, even if I do become No. 2 after this week, I have one more spot to move two weeks later and I just can't be really bothered and trying to think about numbers. I just think that numbers take my fun away, so I'm just trying to enjoy the game and not think so much about the numbers. It doesn't really matter to me. I reached my goals and I've put myself into position where I want to and I feel good about my game and I just play my own game and just can't control what everybody else is doing.
MODERATOR: Last week was a week off away from tournament play for you. Did you get a chance to get away from the game at all?
INBEE PARK: I wasn't really feeling well for last couple weeks I played, played the tournaments, so the next week was I probably took three or four days off trying to get healthier and get the bad things out of my system. The next week I try to practice a little bit more and work on my game because I didn't really have that big of a gap or a break when the season started, so I didn't really have time to work on my game as much as I would like to. That's why I take this past week and I feel like I'm more prepared than the other week. Yeah, I feel like I'm back in a healthy condition, that's the important thing.
MODERATOR: Was it a virus you were fighting?
INBEE PARK: I think it was food poison, and then I was catching a cold. Yeah, just everything was just really coming together. Just happy that I feel like my own person now.
MODERATOR: So final question, Inbee. You've had some experience on this course and it's been kind of a go‑low‑or‑go‑home type of course. Do you expect as you play now out here more of the same, kind of a birdie‑fest this week?
INBEE PARK: I haven't really played this golf course for the last three years because I didn't (inaudible) for three years. The last time I played it was playing probably a little bit softer than it is right now. The greens seems like it's a little bit more ‑‑ a little bit bouncy. But I still think there's a lot of birdies out there. It will be a good scoring golf course. So yeah, like you say, go low.
MODERATOR: Well, thanks for stopping in the media center.
INBEE PARK: Thank you.
MODERATOR: We're here with Stacy Lewis. Stacy, with how well you've been playing this year, eight Top 10s including one win ‑‑ you do only have one win ‑‑ how hard has it been to win out here this year?
STACY LEWIS: It's been extremely tough. You've got a lot of girls playing some of their best golf. It's a great thing, though. As a player, you want to play against people when they're playing their best, so it's been a great thing for the Tour. We have seven Americans in the Top 15 in the world now. The Tour is in a great place and it's just fun to be a part of it.
MODERATOR: You said last week that your ultimate goal is to win tournaments, but you wouldn't mind if you accidentally stumbled into the No. 1 world ranking again, would you?
STACY LEWIS: I wouldn't mind at all. It would be nice to get it the way Adam Scott did, but I want to win tournaments at the end of the day. Being No. 1 in the world is definitely a goal but you can't think about it all the time. If it's something I'm thinking about trying to make a birdie putt, it's just not going to happen, so I just have to keep doing what I know is right. Even if I do get to No. 1, the goals don't change. It's still give myself a chance to win on Sunday and let everything else take care of itself.
MODERATOR: Speaking of winning tournaments, you have won here before. In 2012 you pulled an Alabama sweep, didn't you?
STACY LEWIS: Yes, I did.
MODERATOR: So is the key here this week to actually just go as low as you can? Is it going to be a birdie‑fest like it was last year?
STACY LEWIS: There's holes here you can birdie but there's holes you have to really play it safe on, too. Depends on hole locations and playing smart. It's just the way the greens are set up. They're set up to make birdies, they're set up to kind of funnel some shots in and get them close. It's fun for the fans, it's fun for us to play, and being a good ball striker is where you want to be.
MODERATOR: And finally, much has been made of the strength of the Americans and also the strength of the young players out here. How does it feel knowing that so many of the Americans and so many of the young players look to you now for guidance and to be a leader?
STACY LEWIS: Well, I mean, it's a little strange. I don't consider myself old but I guess I am compared to all the other standards. It's fun. It makes you kind of keep you on your toes and realize that you have to make sure what you're doing is right because people are always watching you, they're watching how you're handling things and what you're doing. If anything, it keeps you on your toes. I like giving the younger ones advice. I like to see them do it the right way and learn along the way. You know, hopefully when they're my age they're bringing sponsors in and doing things for the Tour.
MODERATOR: Perfect. We can open it up for questions.
Q. I was going to say, how impressed are you with Lydia Ko this year? We talk about the race for No.1 and she's up there.
STACY LEWIS: Right. I've played a ton of golf with Lydia Ko. I mean, it doesn't surprise me the way she's played. I played with her when she won her first event when she was 15 at the Canadian Open, so it doesn't surprise me. Her demeanor on the golf course is tremendous and just the consistency in her game. You know, I would just like to see her keep playing well for a lot of years to come.
Q. How did you find the golf course? I know you like this place. Especially when you consider the winter that most of the people have had and this place had a foot of rain two weeks ago, is the course holding up pretty well?
STACY LEWIS: Yeah, the golf course looks great. It usually is pretty firm when we're here, but the ball's starting to release out the last few days. It's definitely dried out but the greens are holding, which is nice for us actually. I think it's going to be a little soft to start the week but I think it just gets firm as the week goes on, which is good. But the greens are rolling great, they're fast. Fairways, everything's really in good shape. You wouldn't even know that you had a bad winter.
Q. You talked about age. An 11‑year old just qualified for the U.S. Open. They can't even go to a PG‑13 movie and they're going to do that. What do you think about that?
STACY LEWIS: You know, one, I just think at any age to qualify for the U.S. Open is impressive, it doesn't matter if you're 11 or if you're 30. I don't know, it's not something I would encourage kids to do. I like to see kids get better at every level, win as a junior, win at college golf, win in high school golf and then come out here and play. But one week out of the year, let's do it, have some fun with it, but I hope it's not a trend we see continuing.
MODERATOR: Thank you, Stacy.
MODERATOR: We're here with Michelle Wie at the Airbus LPGA Classic. Michelle, how are you feeling this week?
MICHELLE WIE: Good, I'm doing great. I'm really happy to be back in Mobile. It's just a great golf course. I haven't really done well in the past here, so I'm determined to do well this week. It's a great track. I'm really excited to be here and some good food this week.
Q. Good food, are you planning anything?
MICHELLE WIE: Well, the food's always important here. The clubhouse food is amazing, it's definitely one of the stops that we look forward to every year. There's a lot of just great restaurants in Mobile, a lot of great seafood, so I'm really excited for that.
Q. There's a great field here. What are some of the other reasons you think this is such a popular spot?
MICHELLE WIE: I think the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, you know, we play in Prattville, we play here. It's just a great track, a great golf course. Alabama, we have a lot of great fans. It's just a lot of fun to play here.
Q. What about this course? You said you haven't played well here before. What's tricky about this course?
MICHELLE WIE: You know, I just think that it's a tricky golf course. You have to be on the right parts of the greens, you have to keep it on the fairway. It's a good track. It looks good visually, and it's weird that I haven't really played well here in the past. It's one of those golf courses where it's just a lot of fun to play. So this year I'm just going to put no pressure on myself and just have fun playing the golf course.
Q. After winning did you kind of reset the chessboard because you were playing so well or didn't want to lose the momentum? What's been going on?
MICHELLE WIE: You know, it's just really the beginning of the season. I think that I'm very happy with the way I'm playing but I think just setting in well for the majors that are coming up. And also I'm just having a lot of fun out here. Every week is a fresh new start. It doesn't matter if I won or came in dead last the week before, it's a whole new fresh start. It doesn't roll over to the next week. Every week I'm still focusing on getting better and improving every week. I just want to take small steps forward every week.
Q. Did you kind of enjoy the feedback that you got after winning and everybody compared your putting stance to Jack Nicklaus'?
MICHELLE WIE: You know, I don't read anything at all but I have to say I was extremely happy just after I won. It's just a great, great feeling. Definitely it made my hungry for more.
Q. How tough has it been for you to get to that place mentally where you're having more fun going week to week?
MICHELLE WIE: You know, I've always had fun on the golf course whether it's been hard or not. Just got to put things in perspective. You're out here, it's beautiful outside, I'm outdoors doing what I love to do for a living. Obviously there are hard days where it isn't so much fun, but you just have to look back, step back and just really realize how lucky I am. I'm just grateful for each opportunity that I have, and just to be here playing in Mobile this week, you know, I'm just really grateful for this opportunity and hopefully I can make the most out of it.
Q. What is your advice that you give to some of the younger girls who come out on Tour like you did maybe that you learned that you could pass on to them?
MICHELLE WIE: You know, just really to do what they want to do, you know? If they want to do this and do that, it's their life, they really shouldn't do it to try and please others or try not to cause controversy or whatever. If they want to do something, just go for it. I don't really hand out advice unless they ask for it. I feel like they have a great head on their shoulders, and if they want to ask me something, they're obviously more than welcome to. I feel like I make myself very available for that, but I don't really try to guide them. I think they're doing great on their own.
MODERATOR: We're here with Jennifer Johnson, the defending champion here at the Airbus LPGA Classic. How excited are you to return this year?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: It's been a fun week so far, just all the memories coming back. I love this place, the course. It's just a lot of fun.
MODERATOR: You described yourself as a big foodie last year after you won. Have you gone to any of the places? Have you repeated anything from last year and are you superstitious at all?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: Well, The Shed I was told shut down. I think the one in Mississippi's still open. I'm going to have to find a new barbecue place this year. That's on my to‑do list this afternoon.
MODERATOR: The Shed was kind of a hole‑in‑the‑wall by (indiscernible) place, right?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: Oh, yeah. It looked like a shed but the food was really good. I just love barbecue. I don't get too much of it when I'm in California.
MODERATOR: Did you eat a lot of it last year while you were here?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: I think we went two times.
MODERATOR: Okay. Now talk about the excitement of winning here, though. Do you feel any pressure coming in now that you're a defending champ?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: A little pressure, I think. Maybe just trying to shoot the same thing I did last year because I'm always trying to do better than I did the year before. But I think the pressure really just you put it on yourself.
MODERATOR: You shot a 65, didn't you, in the final round?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: Um‑hmm, Saturday and Sunday.
MODERATOR: Saturday and Sunday, excuse me. Can you do better than that?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: It may be tough but I'm going to try.
MODERATOR: That's a good answer, I like the confidence. So before your win last year, you mentioned that you went and got some last‑minute putting lessons and then you made a putter switch, is that correct? Have you made any changes, I'm sorry, before this tournament?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: No, I haven't really had time to go see my coach, but I've been using the putter I switched to for a year now. That's like the longest I've used a putter, I think, in my career for a while.
MODERATOR: Stick with what works then.
JENNIFER JOHNSON: Yep.
MODERATOR: And then finally, you completed in the longest drive contest yesterday at the airport. How difficult was it actually hitting the ball down a runway?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: It's a lot tougher than it looks because your fairway's basically a white line. If you land on the right or the left, it's not going to stay on there as long. It felt tighter than an actual fairway.
MODERATOR: Did you enjoy it, and how do you feel about your performance there yesterday?
JENNIFER JOHNSON: It wasn't my best but it was fun. You don't get to do that every day.
MODERATOR: Very good, well, thank you.
JENNIFER JOHNSON: Thank you.

Additional Information
Before the merge occurred, staff members on all English-speaking hotels tried to predict which Rares would rise and fall in value on Habbo.com (International). Habbo.ca and Habbo.co.uk both received predicitions that the Forest Dragon Lamp would rise in value (drastically for UK players), but this proved to be short lived and it only attained about 80 Credits value before falling again. The owners of rares that were predicted to fall in value received Merge Compensation furniture.
The name change from "Elf Dragon Lamp" (originally named due to it being released around the Christmas period on Habbo Hotel UK) to "Forest Dragon Lamp" occurred due to the dominance of American furniture names over British furniture names on Habbo.com (International).

Review: EOS Lip Balm Spheres

Review: Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush
March 16, 2012
I recently embarked on a determined quest to find a blush that doesn't fade after 30 minutes. You see, I've been using a basic powder blush — and while I like the pink shade when I first apply it, I'm convinced that it immediately fades into my skin. What gives? In an attempt to keep […]

Gear Review
These pants are amazing they are bright red, and so warm. All I wear is long underwear under and im toasty the hole day. they fit pretty baggy on me and im like 6 ft and 160 lbs. and I got a large. These pants are awesome, the vents are great on warm days to cool off and the pockets are located where if you fall, it's pretty difficult to break a phone, ipod, bowl, etc.

I just wanted you.) Hands like paper cranes, hands like wind chimes. Then we could've been like lovers in a parody: "I love you, I love youno, I don't. But you are beautiful." And while I was not your lover, neither was I your queen. Either way, you wouldn't hold my heart.iii. Our fingers would've taken flight and then the rest of us, too. Then you would've known of the ballroom in my chest, the migrations inside my body, of the tiny secret nothings that make their way like monarchsas if by instinct, as if they have been here beforefrom ballroom to piano hands to the museum that is my mind to my stomach.

TributeShe came back to me undone, brazen & alone & alive, awash in morning light, with mockingbirds braided 'round her ankle, with her soul cradled in the arc of her foot, & took me outside. She came delicately, barefoot through the days I had sat alone, hush-hush through the grass & gold, came & laced fingers through my mind & called to me, down through the years & the hallways of my heart where the dust of you had long lain undisturbed: "He is no longer here, but I am."I have found the voice that left with you.
Wildflowers, Imperfect BirdsI breathed your name like wildflowers under vast broken skies, in wide-open spaces. The wind blowing through them spoke of dew and dirt and petrichor, and there was sunlight on the ground like a mosaic patterned by god's own hands.I said it like a monarch claiming new land: a declaration, a butterfly breath over old earth; like it was coffee on a warm morning with the sun in my eyes, interlacing with my lashes; like it was a dream; like it was a prayer like it was a miracle wrought of air and bone and body: you, in, out, in, out, in and in and in.I cried it out like an earthquake between lip and lip, continents that don't quite fit: your name, a fault line that doesn't know how to apologize.And I whispered it like it had grown nothing where there should've been feathers, no wings to fly it on, like my lips were the nest it would always call home.So I breathed it,And I whispered it,And I said it,And I sang it,Like a castle; like a mirror; like it was the big bang and ever

IMA 2006 Salary Survey David L. Schroeder and Karl E. Reichardt, CMA Average total compensation of IMA members increased 5.5% to $113,963 in 2006, according to the latest annual survey of IMA members in the U.S. In 2006, members reported an average salary of $95,268, a 2.7% increase over the amount reported in 2005. As in past years, those members responding to the survey with either CMA or CPA certification, or both, earned more than those with no certification in every age category except the 60+ category.
Five Key Principles of Corporate Performance Management Bob Paladino, CPA What do key executives of successful companies know that enables them to consistently achieve outstanding results? Based on research projects with executives and leaders from 40 leading organizations, this author shares his insights on the principles that form winning companies' DNA.
Saying Goodbye to U.S. GAAP Ramona Dzinkowski The International Financial Reporting Standards already are the "one global accounting standard," and the U.S. may have to get with the program. Experts at a recent Securities & Exchange Commission roundtable seemed to agree that a planned reconciliation of IFRS-U.S. GAAP by 2009 would be a mostly futile and expensive exercise. Instead, the SEC may move to permit foreign private issuers to file under IFRS and eventually might allow American companies to do the same.
Getting Down to Specifics on RCA Kip Krumwiede, CMA, CPA, and Augustin Suessmair German firms are far more satisfied with their costing systems than U.S. companies are, according to a survey of 148 German and 130 U.S. companies. U.S. companies that use German cost accounting, Resource Consumption Accounting (RCA), need to implement these practices more deeply, supported by a stronger commitment to management accounting information by U.S. executives, in order to get the full benefits.
Sustainable Performance Improvement Through Predictive Technologies Brian Robertson, Adam Boehler, and John Hansel To improve performance, many companies are employing advanced modeling and forecasting techniques that enable financial leaders to predict current and future performance. Plagued by rising costs and many uncertainties, the healthcare industry illustrates how these techniques, like satellite radar used by the meteorologists to forecast the weather, can help their financial executives improve performance in a constantly changing environment.

Power Spy 11.48.0
- Demo
- eMatrixSoft Inc
- C: \ Security \ Keylogger / Monitoring
Encrypted tool which can be hidden
When the "Stealth mode" is activated, this utility is practically untraceable, since it does not appear in the task manager, nor in the "Programs and Features" section of Control Panel. The only way to access it is to press the user-defined keyboard shortcut. Furthermore, it is password-protected, in order to prevent others from uninstalling it or terminating the process.
Clear-cut GUI
The main interface of Power Spy is very similar to the Windows 8 Start Screen, with all the options displayed as tiles. It provides fast access to all the recorded logs and enables you to start computer monitoring or configure the application behavior.
As a consequence, we can safely say that this program is dedicated to all types of users, including those with little or no previous experience with the IT world.
Information that can be gathered and upload logs to an FTP server
One of the advantages of Power Spy is that it is fully customizable, enabling you to select the items you want to log and exclude the ones you do not need. It can secretly log the typed keystrokes, the list of accessed websites, the read e-mail messages, Internet searchers, opened documents or executed applications.
Chat and instant messaging conversations are also recorded. All the popular IM clients are supported, including Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, AOL, MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, ICQ or Skype. The application can also be used as a surveillance camera, since you can set it to periodically take desktop screenshots and save them locally.
The log reports can be accessed directly from the monitored computer, exported to the hard disk, uploaded to a FTP server or sent to you via email.
To wrap it up, Power Spy is easy to use and provides you with a wide range of information. It comes in handy for any parent who needs to protect their children, by preventing access to dangerous webpages or inappropriate online content.
CPU and memory usage is low at all times and thus, Power Spy does not affect the system's performance. Jobs are completed in a timely fashion and, in our tests, the tool did not hang or freeze.
Power Spy was reviewed by Mihaela Citea, last updated on January 16th, 2015

Thank you in advance for any feedback you can offer. It's a long winded post, but I tried to get all the info out there.
My husband and I are looking to replace the windows in our single story 1979 block construction home.
Quote #1 - $3800 CWS Custom Window Systems on the front window and all others PGT WinGuard horizontal rollers, plus optional $500 install (front window separately matl's+install $1600, included in the $3800 price) - this guy's local and has been in business for over 50 years, seems reliable
We're going to get a quote on Jeld-Wen impact HR's this weekend from Lowe's or Home Depot just to get all options. Lowe's is running a 20% off custom windows which may apply to the windows we need. We got a quote for 1 before and it was somewhere between PGT and Simonton's price, around $550 for (1) bedroom window, not counting the promo discount. I don't know much about CWS Custom Window Systems, other than they're a local company (actually made about an hour west of us). Their price is about 15% less than PGT, and Simonton is about 15% more than PGT. We're going to apply for the tax credit (30% of materials up to $1500). I've never actually operated a horizontal roller / gliding window. Most local showrooms are closed when I'm off work, but we have a neighbor who has them and I'm going to ask him how he likes them this weekend. I guess my questions are -
2. Are horizontal rollers better sealing and function wise than casements? 3. Do you think installing block construction windows is too much to take on? It seems pretty straight forward, even the people quoting said so. 4. I think the windows quoted are Low E 270, which will qualify for the tax credit, except the front large window would need to be Low E 366 to qualify - I don't know how much extra the cost is or if it's worth it. The first quote for $4300 installed seems pretty reasonable, and I would assume with that company being in business for so long, they wouldn't try to sell window brands they wouldn't believe in. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

SOURCE DESCRIPTION: Former Australian Senator
PUBLICATION: Yes, but without attribution (please speak with me first)
SPECIAL HANDLING: Speak with me before any publication
SOURCE HANDLER: Jen
Iron Ore Prices:
Physical iron ore prices remained little changed on
There is still very little trading activity as China
remains to the sidelines whilst dealing with delays in
discharging of existing purchased ore due to bad weather.
Especially high winds at some discharge ports (EG Rhizao and
Liangyungang) continues to prevent berthing and shifting.
Bad weather delays are also reducing takeaway capacity
which is significantly reducing China's daily import capacity
and has caused heavy congestion in Her ports. China is focusing
to clear Her congestion before purchasing fresh spot ore which
would attract additonal heavy congestion charges and add to
delivered costs.
In the meantime the affect of Chinese congestion is to
continue to delay arrivals for ongoing shipments forcing miners
to fix spot spot replacement vessels which just yesterday (since
Rhizao/Lianyungang closures due to high winds the day before)
has forced Woz/Qingdao spot rates back up from USD 11.50 to
USD 13.30 reported fixed late last night for a 16-20 dec
arrival West Aussie.
Rio Tinto sold a 165kt cargo of Australian 57% Fe Robe
River fines at $125.68/dmt CFR Qingdao through a tender.
Indian miner Fomento sold two Panamax cargoes of 57/56%
Fe material at $98/dmt FOPB Goa.
Bagadiya Bros dropped their offer for Indian 63.5/63 Fe
fines, to $144/$148 from $148/$151 overnight.
The TSI was marked down just 20 cents with Platts
TSI 62% (3.5% Al): $139.40 (-$0.20)
PLATTS 62%: $141.50 (unch)
TSI 62% (2.0% Al): $140.90 (-$0.20)
Market comments:
Offers for iron ore cargoes have dropped with Indian 63.5/63
grade material down to $148 a tonne from $151 earlier this week,
reports Reuters.
Top iron ore miner Vale sold two cargoes this week at prices
lower than index-based reference prices. One cargo with 246,000
tonnes of 64.4-grade iron ore fines was sold at $144.15 a tonne,
C&F, and another shipment with 236,000 tonnes of 63.2-grade fines
was sold at $141.5 a tonne, both via tenders, Reuters added.
Global miners, including Vale, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton ,
are all running their production at full capacity, convinced Chinese
demand will remain strong as the country continues to invest
heavily in urbanisation and infrastructure, reports Reuters.
China's average daily crude steel output in late November
rose for the first time since late September, although doubts
remain about underlying steel demand as the government's
clampdown on the property sector stayed in place, Reuters added.
Vale SA, the world.s largest iron-ore producer, said it.s
in talks with customers including ArcelorMittal and China Steel
Corp. to cut contract prices after clients pressured the company
to revise its pricing system, reports Bloomberg. Almost
80 percent of the company.s iron-ore sales are based on the
current quarter.s price, compared with a previous system that
used the period ending a month before the onset of a new
quarter, Jose Carlos Martins, head of iron-ore and strategy
for Vale, said. .With the recent drop in prices we got a lot
of pressure from customers to change. the pricing system,
Martins told reporters during a press conference after Vale
hosted a meeting with investors. .We are more flexible to
accept the price reality from the market..
Fortescue Metals Group, Australia's third-biggest exporter
of iron ore, sees strong prices for the steelmaking ingredient
in 2012 with potential for quick declines similar to those
seen this year, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
Prices .will be reasonably strong, but don't be surprised
if there's a couple of sudden dips,. Chairman Andrew Forrest
said in an interview in London today. .I call reasonable
anything above $US100. That's a good sustainable iron ore price..
In November this year, iron ore shipments from Australia's
Port Hedland increased by 25.9% YoY and were slightly down
by 0.4% MoM, totaling 19.8 million tonnes, reports Steel Guru.
According to Port Hedland Port Authority, iron ore shipments
made from Port Hedland to China amounted to 14.73 million
tonnes in November, decreasing by 0.1% compared to October
of the current year and up 24.3% YoY. Japan was the second
largest export destination for iron ore shipments from Port
Hedland, with shipments totaling 2.4 million metric tonnes
up by 23.9% YoY and up 10.4% from October.

Subject: From MX1
This is in response to Fred's request for the analysis on car bombs.
With regard to car bombs:
ATF has a wealth of research into improvised grenades in Mexico. I
don't have the Mexican analysis, or access to it. I remember
reading it well over a year ago. It was about 4 pages long and it
followed the discovery of C4 in Rancho Anapra. There, SEDENA
discussed the uses of C4. It explicitly mentioned car bombs as a
potential use of C4 explosive because it would be an easier method
of delivery for the cartels, given that they don't really have much
else. I remember the report also mentioned other explosives, and
cited a case back in (I think 2007/8), where a dumbass blew himself
up carrying a briefcase with high explosive on Reforma and
Insurgentes streets in Mexico City. He was targeting the Ministry
of Public Safety/PGR offices that are there. However, he never
made it.
Latest information on the CDJ incident that I got was sticking to
the grenades story, so I am at a loss as to why there was
conflicting information in the first place. It is interesting
indeed, and I got at least 3 different versions from people.
As for the Eurosoldiers, I have not heard anything more about that.
I'll look into it and get back to you. My only commentary based
on limited knowledge would be that La Linea responded with the "car
bomb" very quickly after 35's arrest. Therefore, if they did have
the capability, they had it before or ready to go. I'll check what
the story is with the Eurosoldiers.

Reason: Traded in on GMC Acadia
Pros: "reliable, great gas mileage, great on or off-road"
Cons: "small"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"All you really need to know about a Subaru is that if you're strapped for money, you probably can't find a more reliable vehicle that can do it all and get great mileage while doing it. I bought the car with 120k miles on it for $4700. Drove it for three years (45,000 miles). I never changed the oil and finally on a 2500 mile round trip it started knocking. I checked the oil, which it had not burned any of, and it was as thin as water. I changed the oil and the motor stopped knocking and I drove it another 5000 miles before trading it in on a new GMC Acadia. Subaru vehicles can be trusted to get you from point A to point B. Trust them."

"Bought my 2003 Outback in 2011 with 65,000 miles. I have driven back and forth from Florida, gone through many mounds of snow and sleet, as well as icy roads. Replaced the water pump last summer. The check engine light came on at 105,000 miles, had all my belts changed, and general 100,000 work done, and light still on. Back hydraulic hinge for hatch back rusted off. Not sure why that would have happened, as no water gets into back. Still is the best car I have ever owned, has never left me stranded. Have always been a Jeep person, but after owning a Subaru, and not having to put very much money into the vehicle after almost four years and after almost 50,000 miles. Great car. Every one I know who owns one loves them. I have heard issues about head gaskets, but I have not had one major engine issue."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 135,000
overall rating 1 of 10rating detailsPros: "Recommend if plan on only keeping for 4-6 years"
Cons: "Only buy if you have money to waste"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 5
"Drivers side rear began rusting after 5 years with no accidents or scratches on it; now quite bad and needs lots of body work before it will pass inspection again. Check engine light repeatedly goes on for more than half the life of car. Paid lots of money to have it fixed many times, but light just comes back on again after a few weeks. Each year before inspection time must go to shop and they do something to make the light go off and blame it on something that has costed anywhere from $120-$700. Have records to prove it. Head gasket went close to 100,000 miles which is an outrageous repair bill due to labor. Car has only 135,000. 2nd subaru kept more than 4-5 years; best to get rid of them financially wise after 4-6 years. Had 5 Subaru's all together due to needing good awd and not caring for SUVs; I always buy new trying to avoid someone elses problems; 2 rusted quite bad when not very old, despite being garaged and not scratches or accidents. All had issues with rear hatch latch, except my 2012 had none yet. 3 had issues with check engine light like above. I like the car, but it is a matter of luck whether you get one worth keeping for the long term to get money's worth. They look nice and run good when new, but after warranty is gone, plan on spending to keep it for the long haul. I do like the AWD and ground clearance and the 2015, like others in the past have nice new features, but if you look around enough long enough they can seem to be a step behind and it is a matter of luck on quality. I have had better luck with Honda and worse with Ford. I always buy the Subaru limited with all the nice options, but would be more content if they were built to last longer without expensive time consuming issues."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Bought this car several years ago with less than 30k miles on it and have used it to travel to work around LA as well as several road trips. A great vehicle, always reliable, never any trouble. Aside from normal maintenance, it has new battery, newish tires, and some recent body work to clean up some scratches and minor dings. I would pass it on to a friend or family member, but everyone I know has new cars. I need something small and light for me, as I'm getting older and don't want to drive a wagon anymore. Call me if you need a safe and reliable vehicle to schlep kids or stuff around."

NEW ORLEANS -- St. Tammany Parish deputies have arrested two more suspects who allegedly helped kill a Folsom-area paramedic in a murder-for-hire plot concocted by the victim's wife and an accomplice.
With the arrests of the Jefferson Parish men, investigators believe they have rounded up all those involved in the killing of Mario Scramuzza Jr., 48, who worked for St. Tammany Parish's 3rd Fire Protection District, which covers the Lacombe area, Sheriff Jack Strain said.
Erly Yamil Montoya-Matute, 22, of 1657 42nd St., Apt. C, Kenner, and Luis Starlyn Rodriguez-Hernandez, 26, 1201 Lake Ave., Apt. 115, Metairie, were both arrested in Jefferson Parish late Tuesday and booked with first-degree murder into the St. Tammany Parish jail in Covington, Strain said at a news conference Wednesday.
Gina Scramuzza, 41, and Carlos Rodriguez, 38, of Kenner, who allegedly orchestrated the plot over the course of several months, were arrested earlier. Gina Scramuzza had become distant from her husband and had taken out several insurance policies on him, Strain said.
Rodriguez, Montoya-Matute and Rodriguez-Hernandez were allegedly paid cash by Gina Scramuzza and told that they could take valuables and their victim's pickup from the family home, Strain said.
The men let themselves into the home at 44 Green Hills Drive on Friday, using a key that Gina Scramuzza had provided, and waited for Mario Scramuzza to return home, Strain said. Gina Scramuzza was at work as a CAT-scan technician in Jefferson Parish at the time and the couple's 13-year-old son, Gianni, was not at home.
When Mario Scramuzza returned home, the men subdued him and may have held him at gunpoint for some time before strangling him, Strain said. The St. Tammany Parish coroner's office reported Monday that he had been beaten during the attack.
The suspects, who wore gloves and took other steps to avoid leaving evidence behind, stole items from the home and left with Scramuzza's truck, Strain said.
"It wasn't typical to see a novice murderer take the steps these guys took to conceal their crime," Strain said.
Investigators believe they took the objects both as a form of payment and to bolster their story that Scramuzza had been killed during a break-in, Strain said. The property has been recovered, he said.
Rodriguez and Gina Scramuzza were arrested over the weekend after the paramedic's body was found in his home. Gina Scramuzza initially told investigators that her husband had been the victim of a burglary, but inconsistencies in her story eventually led her to confess the role the pair played in her husband's death, authorities said.
After the pair were arrested, investigators continued to look for Mario Scramuzza's truck, which turned up in Walker on Tuesday, Strain said. After canvassing a trailer park near where the pickup was found, investigators got on the trail of the other two suspects.
With the aid of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, deputies arrested Montoya-Matute and Rodriguez-Hernandez, who are both believed to be illegal immigrants, Strain said. Investigators worked rapidly on the case for fear that the pair would flee the country, he said.
"We knew we had to tighten the noose quickly," he said.
Investigators said Montoya-Matute and Rodriguez-Hernandez knew each other before allegedly being hired for the killing, but it is unclear how they knew Rodriguez, who is not cooperating with investigators, Strain said.
As he announced the arrests Wednesday, Strain criticized federal enforcement of immigration laws and said he would bring up the need for tighter border security at a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano today. Strain said the "large volume" of illegal immigrants in the New Orleans area have created problems for investigators, who are not able to use tools such as databases that often help them research U.S. citizens.

4 "Maybe that will wake you up. Maybe then you'll realize that I'm indicting you in order to put new life into my covenant with the priests of Levi, the covenant of God-of-the-Angel-Armies. | 4 And you will know that I have sent you this admonition so that my covenant with Levi may continue," says the LORD Almighty. |
