(A Little) Punk Floral
Happy New Year's eve everyone! I hope your 2010 has been lovely and amazing and your 2011 will be even better. I'm not doing anything big for New Year's, spending the evening with Edd and most likely going off to the pub for a while, assuming it isn't too busy. Then tomorrow staying 'round my lovely friend Sophie's house for a sleepover session which will no doubt involve lots of video games and our own weight in sweets being eaten. I haven't really set myself any goals for last year or next, but all I can say is I am so happy with how my blog has grown and how many gorgeous, lovely followers I have. Here's to a great 2011! Oh, and don't forget to enter my sponsored ad giveaway (only 3 hours left)

New Vintage
outfit post,
urban outfitters
A simple-yet-pretty outfit today, undoubtedly the famous yellow cardi will be thrown on top when I need to go out! If this hadn't been bought in the sale, without a doubt this would have been one of the most expensive dresses I own; isn't it just beatiful? I love the way the purple roses echo my hair colour and the vintage lace around the collar. I rarely step foot in Urban Outfitters as the staff tend to be pretty snooty and rude (though only to those over a size 10 I notice!), at least at the one in Bristol. Edd is back in the UK today! Even if I don't see him it's exciting to know he will be close by again.

The Princess
photo post,
Introducing the new love of my life;
Isn't she gorgeous? She's a purple Casio EX-Z330. She's named Peach, after a certain princess c; £71 (from £120!) in ASDA and the last one there! Super lucky. I've been 'practising' with her all afternoon, so here's some shots I took:
Dreaming of Daisies
I seem to be having a bit of a daisy overload at the moment, don't I? hehe. They're my favourite flower by far, and my mum came very close to calling me Daisy but (unfortunately) my dad didn't agree. Tomorrow Edd is home from France! But in typical boyfriend fashion failed to tell me when he would be back or if he is going anywhere else so I don't even know if I get to see him tomorrow. I hope I do! With my tradition of spending-all-my-money-on-dresses I grabbed this cutie from the ASOS sale today and it should be being sent to my Halls at Uni. Excited! I love ordering from ASOS, it's something I rarely do. Also just a quick note about my half price sponsor sale for those who didn't catch that post. £4 (small) or £6 (big) for a month's sponsoring is not bad and maybe a good way to invest a little of your christmas money? c;

Sponsor Time!
Since this is the first month I'm going to be attempting this, I decided to halve my 'usual prices' as seen on the sponsors page. So to sponsor an ad for one week would be £1 for a little sponsor, £2 for a big ad and so on. There are more details here, but I would really love it if I could get some lovely sponsors sometime soon c:

peter pan collar,
So I went and spent a massive chunk of my Christmas money yesterday, which is naughty of me but one thing I cannot resist is dresses! I ended up buying two yesterday and two (if you include the primark might-be-dress-probably-tunic) the day before! I'm a dress addict, I swear, I own so many now. I suppose there are worse things to be addicted to, though.... So as 2010 comes to a close I've been thinking about my blog. Is there anything you guys don't like about it, or any features I should do more? Perhaps more photos per outfit? I don't know. Some opinions would really help c:

Birds Fly
new years,
outfit post,
When I picked this dress (tunic?) up from Primark I didn't realise quite how short it was! Indecent without jeans, though I could think of someone who could probably get away with it as a minidress. Yesterday I went with my family up to Bristol, mostly because my sister wanted to buy a new phone. I got a new phone too (her old one!) into the bargain; a Nokia N97 mini, It's so adorable! I've already bought her a pink case off ebay. Her name is Dora (of explorer fame). I hope everyone had a great xmas/boxing day, the countdown to New Year's starts now!

The 25th Day
outfit post,
It's christmas! So I opted to wear one of my favourite dresses, paired with jeans because we are going to my Nan's and her house is always freezing. I got some lovely gifts too; a super cute hat, some (pink) bathroom things and lots of cookie and cake mixes (my family know me so well!) so I forsee a lot of baking in my future, since my friend Sophie also got me some dinosaur cookie cutters! c:

Bonjour Monsieur
cache cache,
outfit post
In honour of Edd being en France I decided to wear a dress I got last time I went over there with his family from French chainstore Cache Cache, which has been sitting in my mum's wardrobe for the past year because I'm never quite sure if it suits me or not, so I gave it to her. Therefore it's just on a loan to me for today c: I'm wearing makeup today(!), only mascara and a little Barry M 'eyeshimmer pencil' but for some reason it makes me look really made up, hehe ^_^ Knowing me I will probably be posting tomorrow, but if not Happy Christmas/whatever you celebrate everyone! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Brr, it's cold today! I'm in a bit of a morose mood, Edd is off to France and everything just feels a bit crappy. Not a good day, and I can't even really go out unless I want to face ridiculous crowds of people panic-buying all their christmas presents. It's really windy outside too as you can see from the photos! Apologies for the rubbishness of the photos, they all turned out a little dark and grainy :c
{dress: primark via ebay 99p, cardi: h&m, tights: h&m, body: new look £2}
Christmas Before Christmas
The boyfriend and I exchanged presents the other day, since tomorrow he is off to France with his family to spend Christmas there. Which is kind of sad, but at least I got to see him before he went, anyway. This is also the reason for lack of outfit posts over the last few days; I've been spending time round his (we've been mostly playing Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare which is really good!) hence no real photos. As per my feedback from my last post though, I did set up a little sponsor thingy with prices I think are reasonable; just over there on the sidebar or follow the link here. So, here's what my lovely boyf got me;
Gorgeous and crazy expensive earrings! I love them, they are so sweet and steampunk-y ^_^
The Zombie Survival Guide. More of an essential than a gift, really.
This thing will be read until it's dog-eared and decrepit.
Comfy Cosy
ebay find,
outfit post,
reel big fish,
This is probably the closest you will see me to a jeans and teeshirt - this jumper itself is practically a dress on it's own; if I were a little shorter I would wear it on it's own with black tights. It's blowing a mini blizzard outside again, Edd and I were meant to go to a shopping centre in Bristol but I'm pretty sure that will have to be postponed. Also, some exciting news (for me anyway); thanks to the lovely Rosie I'm going to see Reel Big Fish live in February, in Cardiff! I'm so looking forward to it, they are one of my favourite bands ever (though Lemon Demon are my number one always).
Lately I've been wondering about blog sponsorship; currently Blargle Fargle is attracting about 4,500 hits a month (which is amazing in itself for me, though for some bloggers a tiny amount!) and I was wondering if I should start putting the idea of blog sponsors out there. Next University term I will be in a pretty bad way financially so it would help a little, and making a tiny bit of money out of doing something I love would be just amazing. So, what are people's opinions on this? Would anyone be interested in sponsoring? Should I wait until my blog is better and more popular or leave it be? c:

Cyan Blue
blue hair,
outfit post,
I'm not sure if I like this or the green better; maybe I like both just the same amount! It's so nice to have such bright colours in the hair, just looking at it makes me smile on a grey day though I've been getting lots of second glances when I'm out and about. I also gave it a bit of a trim as well. Edd ended up getting home on Friday night and I spent all yesterday with him, playing left 4 dead mostly! I'm pretty terrible at it but I'm getting better ^_^
{dress: topshop £10, body: new look £2, cardi: h&m, tights: topshop £1, necklace: primark}
It's snowing! I'm so excited! I imagine for other people in the UK this would be a subject of lots of moaning and eye-rolling, but down in the South West we don't really get that much, so it's still something different ^_^ It's snowing out there right now and there's already a fairly thick blanket. Part of me wants it to carry on all weekend, but the other part of me is worried whether Edd will be able to get home if it carries on... it's a long journey from Stoke. It's nice being home again though, I missed my family and the doggies and I can't wait to see Edd again before he goes to France ♥

Blogspiration v.2.0
It's been a long time since I've done a blogspiration post so I figured now is as good a time as any, and it's always lovely to recognise those whose blogs have influenced me whether fashion-wise or blog-wise or even life-wise ^_^
#1 - Violet of Violet LeBeaux is not only an adorable part-lolita (with some gorgeous outfits to boot) with stunning hair but also is an amazing artist, crafts-wise. Her blog is stuffed full of cute, crafty ideas with sparkles and pink and florals as far as the eye can see. I want to be like her when I grow up ♥
#2 - Emma of Oh Really? is a level of fashionable I'm not even near! She combines edgy accessories with pretty vintage or sometimes the other way round, and her style is always shifting and changing which makes her even more brilliant!
#3 - Charlotte of Girl Next Door Fashion is amazing; not only is she studying in the USA for the year she finds time to write professionally for several fashion blogs and keep up to date with her own! I'm envious of her style too; so many things I would pick if only I were a little braver c:
Changing Room Subterfuge, The Return Of.
changing room subterfuge,
Since I was in town on my own this morning, I figured I'd do a CRS! Something I've not done in absolutely ages I know, silly me c: This time my travels took me to the Topshop Outlet and H&M...
The first dress is a pretty patterned maxi dress. First thought I had upon trying to try it on is 'I feel like a sausage!' I look slightly like one too, ick. I'm not designed for clothes that tight and clingy. This was £7 in the outlet. The other dress was from the topshop/christopher kane collection and who can say no to bright neon yellow? With control pants it would have looked ok if it weren't for the weird underboob window. I don't know why anyone would want to show off the bottom of their bra! This was £5 in the outlet.
This first dress was just way too cute on the hanger! And the back is elasticated, so win-win. However, it's not even dress length on me. I'm pretty sure even people who wear microminis would flinch at wearing this out. The bust was boned too, which made it a little tight and caused a 'flattening' effect. This was £10 in the sale. The middle dress was just gorgeous, it's a brighter orange than it looks and I probably needed the size 16, not 14, but unfortunately with my hair it created a clown type effect. A cute very well dressed clown, though c: In another colour it would have been perfect. It's £19.99 full price. The final dress had a really weird fit; the shoulders were odd in that I couldn't really lift my arms up! There was elastic at the back but it was too low down so it just flipped over itself making the skirt stand out in an unflattering way. This was £10 in the sale. What do you guys think of them? c:
of Shorts and Sequins
ebay find,
outfit post,
I cannot get enough of this dress, I'm so glad I grabbed it when I had the chance as I feel it's going to be a wardrobe staple all year round! I love everything about it from the 'secret' embroidered tattoo pattern, the sequins on some of the flowers, the hook and eye bust. Almost-perfection in dress form ♥
{dress: river island via ebay £1.70, cardi: george@asda, tights: primark x2, shoes: converse}
Last night I clicked on over to Frocks and Frou Frou and saw her new post in which she talks about wearing shorts or control pants under dresses to avoid 'chub rub'. All I can say is, snap! Admittedly though part of the reason I wear them is I have trouble getting tights in my size, so I end up wearing these in an attempt to keep them up all day; it seems to work, too! My shorts are normally made from cheapo primark leggings or those 'control' leggings you can get from peacocks or asda because they stay in place all day. So now you know c;
Disheveled & Mini Blog Sale
hair dye,
outfit post
What do you think of my sexy, unwashed hair look? Haha. I've been trying really hard to get past wanting to wash my hair everyday but it's pretty difficult; even with dry shampoo in I feel a bit, I don't know, unclean. I've had short hair for ages and ages so I'm so used to washing every day. But if I want my hair dye to last that can't happen :p Some of the ends have gone brown-ish because the bleach didn't quite take enough so I'm going to bleach them again before I dye again. I'm also thinking about sticking some purple or blue dye over the top too. What's your hair routine?
{dress: new look via ebay 99p, cardi: h&m, jeans: DPs, shoes: converse sneakers}
Also, I am going to be slightly cheeky here and advertise something for sale on my blog. I got this lovely H&M dress for a bit more than I normally would on eBay due to seeing how cute and vintage-y it is, and imagine my dismay when I got it in the post today and it was obviously more of a 12 than a 16! The previous owner didn't even wear it, just washed it so it must have been shrunk. But essentially it's still a brand new size 12-14 dress. I'm thinking of selling it for maybe £5 plus P&P (which would be like £1.50, though international would be more!) c: email me (there's a link on the sidebar) if you would be interested....

Eric's Home Birth, through His Brother's Eyes
Upon returning home from kindergarten earlier this week, Miles (6) carefully presented me with a small stack of papers.
"Look at the story I wrote at school today, Mommy!"
Turns out that my six-year-old is far more efficient at completing Eric's birth story than his mother is.
Maybe all I need is a box of crayons and a BOATLOAD OF CUTENESS.
First I went up for bed.
I was just about to go to sleep.
My mom was crying. Waaaaaaaaa.
Then my mom had the baby.
My aunt was reading to my brother Alec.
The end.

Hey, I think that its actually an excellent thing, though, never really got around to making use of it.
I programmed it around a year ago, and never really thought to ask members whether they use it or not. So, do you use it, or have you never really noticed it?
If you do view it, do you think it should display more threads? Less? Be positioned elsewhere?
Hey, I think that its actually an excellent thing, though, never really got around to making use of it.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes.
I do view it. I like it where it is right now.
I used it just last night
I look at it ALL the time.
Welcome, you step into a forum of the flash bang, chew toy hell, and shove it down your throat brutal honesty. OoE
I'll use it more now that you've brought it up.
Not really, but I may do so in the future! I think the place for it remains at the bottom of the page.
I don't but I think a lot of people do. It's a cool feature.
Use it all the time.
It's in a good spot, IMHO.
I view it all the time too! Location is fine with me! Thanks for asking.

I agree with the above. Though, as new as I am, I never know it was there until I read this thread. Now I'll be using it all the time.
"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach...just make sure you thrust upward through his ribcage."
Didn't know it was there. In any event, for me at least, all threads that have been posted in or made since I last logged one, appear in bold.
But it changes slowly.
"Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination."
I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
Not normally, as all new posts are boldened since my last visit to the site but I must admit I have on occasion found items of interest there that I had managed to miss whilst going through the posts.
Semper in excretum. Solum profunda variat.
Multiple redundancies are always good. Threads can get buried in the "New Posts" display, but they stick around a bit longer down there.
Yep, it shows new threads in the order they were received, regardless of the latest post on them.Yes.
But it changes slowly.
The idea was to put it somewhere where it wouldn't be in the way for people who don't want to use it, but of course where people who do can.I do view it. I like it where it is right now.
I'm glad to see people have view it, makes it seem like not such a waste of code insertion.

Whether or not the remarkable response from men for suffrage was expected back in 1914 isn't clear. However, this article published in the New York Herald about the huge suffrage pageant at the Armory documents a growing and more influential suffrage movement. The article noted that support from men had grown significantly in the previous three years and how enthusiastic men had stepped forward to be patrons of the Armory ball and pageant. Even children, including little Serena Kearns, were part of the production, as well as other children of the period. As the article shows below, my grandparents demonstrated their support as patrons.

Maybe you can't tell, but we work hard to make Redfin easy to use, going round and round on every design until we've forgotten where we started.
In an effort to improve our forms, ace product manager Matt Goyer bought a book on usability for one of his young charges, Jim Lamb. But when Jim started reading the book, he found that one of the forms the book was supposed to help us improve was already in the book:
On the left side of the page pictured here, you'll see Redfin's Offer Wizard.
When Matt came into my office to show it to me, I could only think of Groucho Marx's rejection of any club that would accept him as a member. "Wow," I thought. "It's time to get Jim another book."
(In fact, the book looks fantastic. Many thanks to author Luke Wroblewski for including us!)

Watched Prometheus last night and liked it well enough. I am still rather puzzled concerning 'the why' of the opening scene. Anyone here know if that was just suicide, homicide, or what?

Watched Prometheus last night and liked it well enough. I am still rather puzzled concerning 'the why' of the opening scene. Anyone here know if that was just suicide, homicide, or what?
I just watched Secretary and have to say I really enjoyed it. I love stories about people dealing with their problems in unusual manners, or struggling to make themselves fit into society and it just not working. Their romance isn't conventional, but it's what works for them and makes them happy, and it was pretty fantastic.
Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009) - a comedy SF film which manages the rare double of being both good SF (it all makes sense) and is very funny. Three ordinary blokes find a time rift in the toilets of their local pub. Complexity ensues. Wonderfully written stuff. Loved it.
I saw Cloud Atlas this weekend. I really enjoyed it, despite the distraction of "name that actor" every time they brought out a new character played by the main actors.
I'm really looking forward to this - I really liked the book and spot the actor is not going to concern me. I wouldn't recognise Halley Berry (I think she's in it) if she fell on me. For that matter most currently working Hollywood actors are blank canvases as far as I'm concerned.
Tonight I watched Arrietty, Studio Ghibli's beautiful take on the Mary Norton Borrower books. I read the books as a kid and have seen just about every screen adaptation over the years (bits at least) but this film is by far the best. Slow gentle and utterly enchanting. And not just me. My three kids: aged 10, 8, and 3 were riveted. I don't think I have ever seen them so engrossed in a film. (We watched the UK dubbed version. The US dubbed version is, I understand, very different - and sounds very horrible.)
I enjoyed Cloud Atlas as well. Thought it was as true to the book as it could have been considering time restraints. Last week, the wife and I went and saw Flight. Good movie, entertaining, but not worth the Oscar hype.
I saw an old classic Japanese SciFi Film called Atragon. It is about a lost society called the Mu, who are kind like Atlantians only in the Pacific, and their plot to overthrough and enslave the world. The only hope is a super submarine built in secret by a Japanese sub commander who fled the civilized world rather than surrender to the americans after WWII. (Of course there is a monster to deal with too!) Sure it was silly, but overall it was a joy to watch. I was expecting a total B movie, but this film had high production values and good FX and model work for the time, 1962. I wonder how many other Japanese gems there are out there to watch.
I loved it. I want Merida's hair.
Watched X-Men First Class about a week and a half ago. Thought it was really well done. Liked the infusion of fresh characters. Action and plot was generally well paced.
Been on a Disney/Pixar kick lately (still am, admittedly), so I picked up Up cheaply. Wow, that blew Brave away by a country mile. What an awesome film. As our Rob knows, I didn't quite manage to cry, but it is still an emotional ride. I really cannot... SQUIRREL!
Pixar Short Films Collection vol. 1
Not quite a movie, but eh. Nice collection of some of their earlier films. Some excellent pieces (Knick Knack, Boundin' & Jack-Jack Attack), some okay ones (Mike's New Car, Mater and the Ghostlight), one that causes you to say Hail Marys for its duration (Tin Toy - that baby was HORRIFYING) and the worst animated piece I have ever seen in my life (The Adventures of André and Wally B. - though admittedly it was one of their very firsts). Probably not really one for the kids? It's more a... hm. Not sure.
Pixar Short Films Collection vol. 2
A much stronger collection, worth it for the Toy Story shorts alone, with some really good films. La Luna stunned me, Hawaiian Vacation & Small Fry (the Toy Story ones) had me laughing out loud, Your Friend The Rat was edutainment at its finest, and Day & Night was one of the most creative things I've seen in a while.
Pixar has put Disney back on the animation map. Brave was the best effort I've seen this year (though admittedly I haven't seen most of them). Up may well be the best Pixar effort yet. I remember seeing La Luna as a short before another feature-length Pixar film (I think it was Despicable Me, another great Pixar film) and was very impressed with it!
Despicable Me was not a Pixar film. It is very good, though.

I sell the gun at retail with a scope for $299.99. Great little shooter, with a good scope on it one should get close to MOA grouping. I saw on YouTube where a guy replaced the factory scope and stock, and he was shooting just over 1/2MOA.
Expect a LOT of recoil! My cousin has one in 06 and it kicks almost as hard as my 12 when I shoot slugs out of it. Good gun though, I haven't really sat down and shot good groups with mine though, can't find any .308
Marlin Model 60 Mossberg Maverick 88-12 GA Mosin Nagant 91/30 Stag Model 2 Savage Model 11 Saiga 7.62x39 Mossberg MVP Varmint Chinese T53 Mosin Nagant X2 53 Springfield M1 Garand
the Mossberg ATR100 is a good solid rifle, well made and pretty danged accurate. as mentioned, they do have some stiff recoil. i highly recommend them for a hunting rifle, but not for target shooting. when i had mine a few years ago, with handloads, mine was very accurate. Mossbergs have a solid reputation. the only reason i traded mine was because of the recoil. i tried different things but just couldn't soften up the felt recoil. if you can handle the recoil, then you will be pleased with the rifle.
I have one in 30 06 and it shoots pretty well. Recoil is a bit beastly so I am hoping to change the stock, I really prefer wood anyway. For the money they are pretty good shooters.

Finding stuff on the road.
Saw a post in the random thoughts thread. What's some good stuff you had found on the road or wherever. I have found lots of tools mostly. My best find being a new dead blow hammer.

I run and when I see money on the road or sidewalk I ALWAYS pick it up - doesn't matter if it's a twenty or a penny. All of my found money goes into a special jar to be spent at the end of the year on new running shoes. This year has been exceptionally lucrative and I am probably up to about $90 so far (a $20 and a few $5s really help the total).
I find a lot of bungee cords on the road but never bother picking them up. People forgetting that there are bungee cords in the beds of their trucks and losing them must be what drives 80% of the bungee cord purchases in this country. |

dog farts are the worst!!
I foundinged a full set of dewalt 18v tools, circular saw, sawsall, drill, charger batteries and a bag full of blades. I put an ad on craigslist lost and found offering it up if they could tell me what was in the box besides the tools, but never got a response.
I foundinged a Craftsman shop vac new in the box, looked to have been used once to clean up some carpet scraps from a carpet job. I watched it fall out of the truck from right behind him and he pulled over. as soon as I passed him he pulled out an left so I pulled over and turned around to grab it! found a full package of three big boxes of red scotchbrite pads on 696, all wrapped together probably 15 years ago. I still have half a box left! I've found tools and such but those were my best founds. Last edited by cameron69; August 23rd, 2013 at 03:10 PM. |

For my 2.5 yr old I should have started her using this from the beginning of trying solids. She eyes it with much skepticism and although the same stuff is inside as on her plate, she trusts the plate more. I started my 1 year old on the other hand with this from the get go and she has no problem with it. Down side is its hard to clean. Basically not possible to just throw it in the dishwasher. I've tried flipping it inside out for easier cleaning but easier said than done.

I am a retired home designer/builder who loves to share. I once owned a magnificent houseboat on Lake Powell that I designed and shared with friends and family. I named the boat Amnesia with the goal of making my guest forget about everything besides the natural beauty of the lake! I have named my home in Prescott Amnesia 2 for the same reasons. The original cabin was built in 1952 and was added onto by several owners that followed. I bought the home and did a complete makeover that simply makes it the best vacation rental in Prescott. I have honored the sacred land and the heart of the original owner. The ceiling is the original roof.
"I have built hundreds of homes in Arizona and have never found a setting as awesome as this! It is a sacred place without question."

CNN in a Hurricane: Like Pigs in Sh**t
They love this, don't they? This is what news is all about in the age of corporate media: pictures and sounds and bells and whistles. CNN couldn't have been bothered to discover whether Saddam Hussein really did have weapons of mass destruction or whether Karl Rove orchestrated the outing of a CIA agent or whether those little red blood vessels on George W. Bush's nose were telling a story the mainstream media didn't want to report.
But winds and waves—an entire CNN army patrols the nation's shoreline …
Friedman is a useful tool. Colin Powell might as well endorse an aluminum tube.
Who the hell cares what Colin thinks?
He helped Cheney, Bush, and the gang abuse and disregard any threads of decency in our intelligence agencies. Our military and tax payers/citizens of this country in order to conquer and take resources. Nothing more.
He should be on the war criminal list with the rest of them!
Ouch. Bad sentence. Oh well, you know what I'm saying and feeling.
Just listening to democracynow and the VT disaster that Irene caused. Flooding around where I am can be accommodated bc the land along the streams can spread out when they flood, and while swift, and damaging, is still manageable.
In VT the streams run betw mountains and as the gov sez become raging rivers. I've done enough hiking up there, mostly in NH not VT, to know what he's talking about. It is catastrophic.
"One analyst, Greg Thielmann, told Correspondent Scott Pelley last October that key evidence cited by the administration was misrepresented to the public.
Thielmann should know. He had been in charge of analyzing the Iraqi weapons threat for Powell's own intelligence bureau.
"I had a couple of initial reactions. Then I had a more mature reaction," says Thielmann, commenting on Powell's presentation to the United Nations last February."
Had a more mature reaction? Oh, I've always wondered what was the right term for letting your country go to war based on a lie. My bold.
It certainly is. Our local reporters are saying that NC had wind at 115 mph at one point.
Has anyone heard from Cynthia? Last I saw of her the roof had started leaking.
Mature reaction!
Oh, it was pressure and money I'm sure. Nothing at all mature about it.
That is not true for Margaretville, NY. We got wiped out and we are about 60 miles to the West of you as the crow flies:
We got everything from Hurricane Irene, except the mermaids.
Hurricane Irene killed at least 18 people from Puerto Rico to Connecticut, caused an estimated $3 billion in damage and cut electric power to more than 4 million homes and businesses across the eastern U.S.
I know irene was powerful and caused damage in the southern part of the country, but here in the northeast this thing was not even as strong as the flash storm we had last year, a storm that lasted about an hour and did far more damage then irene
as I mention in my diary, in the north east, this looks to me like they shut down entire grids intentionally and pro-actively, it does not look like the storm did this whole sale, entire quadrants were without power, usually when a storm causes a power down it's cell by cell, block by block
in ct power was out from at least exit 40 all the way up to the border, I cannot believe such a mild storm was able to take out every power cell along the way, the same thing was true for the southern areas of long island.
I am going to become known as the irene conspiracy theorist!
Gov of VT sounds like one of the few sensible human pols that are in office. What a bit of fresh air.
Yep. I did hear a bit about the Catskills on the local channel this morning & its exactly the same story as VT. Are you personally OK?
I don't have all the facts for your area, I just know that I've been through many hurricanes and tropical storms. I believe I saw some posts where the electric companies had to shut down certain grids due to water damage or the threats to the system.
Will you be harvesting soon?
I hope you and your home are ok, but wiped out is a pretty good description of what the photos show. I'm so sorry.
Eric Cantor is going to help, though. He is going get the money by gutting some more school lunch programs.
When people like those in your town (and the poor kids in the lunch programs) are hurting, that is the Republican response.
And where are the Dems standing up to such hate speech? ? ?
Not until October, if then. Twice as many hives does not necessary mean twice as much honey bc you've got to leave enough for twice as many bees to make it thru the winter. Both my hives got a late start: one thru being split then swarming, the other thru varroa mites. They're doing OK, and both should be fine for the winter, but not sure how much honey will be left for me.
it looks to me like that's what they did in southern long island and a good portion of ct, I think they proactively shut down the grid.
but I gotta tell you, this was premature, the storm did no damage here, there is hardly any debris and if I told I saw three trees down that would be exagerating
This is a tourism area, so this storm is pretty much an economic disaster. I really can't think of anything good that will come from what happened. Not yet anyway. :)
That is wonderful news. I'm glad that not many people in your area were harmed. It is a sad thing to have a home flooded or destroyed at any time, but with our economy so bad it is the worst disaster ever.
Mornin', BT, pups
What econobuzz said about Colin Powell but with more gusto.
In happier news:
No, I think nothing good will come of it. I'm so sorry.
Okay. I will try to remember to put up some more honey recipes next month.
Poor little thing! So glad he was taken care of.
well here ya go';
LONG ISLAND — Irene is ravaging the island with widespread power outages being reported on Sunday. According to the Long Island Power Authority, more than 275,000 customers in Suffolk County and more than 189,000 people in Nassau County are without power. LIPA said that electric service has been intentionally shut down on Fire Island, Crabtree Island, Robert Moses and Oak Island. To report any power outages, call 1-800-490-0075.
that's what they admit to, I am going to lay odds they proactively shut down entire areas besides that one, I am going to include ct in that bet
There were not any casualties. That's good. Don't worry about it.
I am going to work on some humor about the whole deal: like how there were no mermaids, just plastic covered bales of hay and floating oil tanks!
You have a good day. I am going outside to clean up the mess.
A very large campaign contributor has some more ugly hiding. Customers need to be aware of this:
LOL! Yeah, utterly clueless. Not funny to us, but funny as you commented.
Good Morning, BT, Wet and Shaken Pups
I'm pretty sure that there are many people who were emotionally stirred up this weekend. This kind of turbulence takes its toll in many different ways.
Hi demi, did you get some rest last night?
Cheney says Rumsfeld was the best boss he ever had. Learned a lot from him.
Crooks in prison learn to be better crooks. No reason to believe that sociopaths in authority don't learn to be better sociopaths.
Like a log. Weird dreams though. You're sweet to ask.
(Your photo at myfdl reminds me of a photo of myself on a neighbor's horse, taken when I was about 15 – is that a recent shot?)
Relax and proudly hold yer head up today.
Oh my gosh no. I was 18. You wouldn't want to see me on a horse now :
I'd love to see your riding photo. Some Caturday maybe we can have a virtual photo album for anyone brave enough to show their new reality.
Thanks, dear. I'm going to do just that. You were very sweet yesterday and I should have thanked you for the wise advice then.
(You going to tell msohm about Mr. Sadness?)
She came back to Caturday and I gave her the comment.
That would be a trip. Photos of us and animals, from way back until now.
(Did you figure out how close you and sadlyes are? It would be great if you two could hook up.)
Those guys have been best buds from way back. They still did 'continuity of govt' exercises during the period when neither was in govt. Something profoundly ominous about that, that I've never seen anything reported about. I've seen it mentioned, obviously, since I know about it, but not why they did that nor what they did.
Me, here. He did, I went back to Caturday later and he pulled out that comment for me.
I have formed a very distinct visual image of Caturday and its denizens.
We're in a full blown "Carter-type" malaise — with an irrelevant president.
Heh, I've got my hippie pic all over the place. Too old to give a shit.
We could probably meet in an hour and a half and I hope we will do so. I remembered on my profile page there is a link to my old cafepress store. There is a photo from about 2007, but I've gained a ……little…….weight since then!
OK, Braveheart, cough 'em up :)
G'Morning, PP.
Indeed it does. As Margaret mentioned yesterday, adrenalin isn't meant to stay in our system for long periods of time. Nor anxiety, neither.
Good Morning BT and Firedogs,
fyi – James Hansen, NASA Climatologist will be joining the Tar Sands Activists at the White House fence today
I'm sorry, I have been way over caffeinated for weeks and need an intervention. Someone, please take me gently by the elbow, steer me into a quite corner and softly whisper…..STFU!!!!
Different pic than the one you see at Caturday or my profile but same dude.
Oh, I just read your profile. There you are! Great hair, which reminds me I have to do my roots this morning.
Weight? That's what mother nature leaves under our pillows after we become Women of a certain age. Who doesn't enjoy having a little extra girth in the tummy?
That is a great shot. You look much more stern than I picture you, but you were in a serious situation there.
If there is going to be means testing for recieving S.S. then it seems to me that there should have to be means testing on the revenue side. Those who can afford more should pay a higher percentage (based on an individual's total gross income)of their S.S. taxable income if we are going to cap the amount of income that is taxable.
Also, isn't raising the S.S. retirement age counter productive to preserving the program? If you force older people to work longer, isn't that removing job opportunities for younger people who need income in order to contribute to the trust fund. The only way raising the eligability age works is if the subsequent attrition rate is equal to or greater than the job creation rate.
Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.
US KIA Afghanistan: 1,751
US KIA Irak: 4,474

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things
Never. Give. Up.
Well, I haven't done that in a while! I'm a patient woman. Let's wait and see what's forthcoming.
I almost remember the emotion of swooning. Funny how things change as we, uh, mature. Mostly now, I'm happy to be just fairly comfortable.
Me, too, but it is a constant adjustment as we age, to sort of re-invent ourselves. There always needs to be something in one's back pocket to strive for or look forward to.
You are going to be fine today. It won't last forever. Talk to you tomorrow. I'm going to check out this photo and head out for the day.
Bye, pupses, take good care.
I do. Especially the shoes. I mostly remember how neat it was that you surprised the bride. There a precious and special moments in life to cherish.
Good Morning All…Demi, Take good care today…You'll be fine b/c you are, of course. I managed to spend most all day on this machine on yesterday; maybe Ill be a bit more constrained today w/no Caturday. The Book Salon was really good, also.
And I really do not understand the poo-pooing of the storm stuff. There were in fact major damages and great threats….I think not recognizing that would have been very negligent…but Im old ;) and have lost cars to flood in New Orleans….My $.02.
I would like to fill a stadium full of families and their special needs adult children/siblings and have Mr. Perry make his comments about Social Security being a Ponzi scheme and a lie.
Perry must love the idea of a radically punitive and abrasive society. And this man calls himself a Christian? Shameful.
I really liked when I was walking to one of the bars they had set up for another single malt when a lady from the NAACP said, "Excuse me, but you're the sharpest looking dude in the place." Made my day.
I do, too.
Hi RevBev, meeee toooo. It is addictive. Give Angela a little scritch for me. Bye now.
I agree.
I know the religious I normally hang with all agree.
The right wing fundi thought that the Bible calls on individuals to care for each other does not mean government should not help.
'Mature' = having the 'Facts of life' pointed out to you, by people who wouldn't even think twice about having your wifes' brake lines cut…?
hmm.. 'just because someone is paranoid doesn't mean 'they' aren't out to get 'you" ;)

Full user review
"A genuinely useful addition to Mac software"
I have often wanted to draw simple illustrations/diagrams for articles I am writing, and until now this has been difficult without rather expensive software. Paintbrush seems to fill that gap nicely.
It is slightly counterintuitive, but a little usage should get over this.
It is easy to use and, with some slight reservations, does what I want. It is slightly counterintuitive, thus if there are two objects, you select one and flip vertically, it is the other one that flips, which is a little unexpected at first. The biggest absence is the ability to rotate or reorient just a little bit. An attempt to increase the relative size of a selection led to the application crashing, so I do not know whether that is possible or not.
Overall, a good application, but could be improved.

Rush Pikes Peak Developmental Program General Information
Rush Mission Statement
Rush Pikes Peak Soccer is committed to providing an unparalleled soccer experience for all who have interest in the game of soccer. The Rush promotes the spirit of sportsmanship, the electricity of competition and the importance of pure enjoyment. The Rush accepts the responsibilities of teaching life lessons to our athletes to further their development inside the game and out. The Rush is committed to making soccer a pleasant, safe and rewarding experience for everyone involved, regardless of age or ability. We believe that all players are winners because everyone is afforded an equal opportunity to explore their potential and pursue positive outcomes on and off the field. Through quality coaching, sound leadership and absolute sincerity, the Rush will work to be the best club in the state, nation and world.
In any soccer organization, great or small, three pillars exist that determine the club's decisions, direction, and vision:
> Coaching | > Administration | > Political |
Any one pillar is not greater than another. The three pillars must co-exist and cooperate if a soccer organization is to succeed and reach its fullest potential. All pillars must communicate and work together in order to make decisions that allow for a club to move in a positive direction.
Developmental Soccer
The Developmental Coaches manual is designed for our coaches in order to help bridge the three pillars; and, although this manual is certainly not all inclusive, hopefully it will give our members a solid foundation to build a healthy team and ultimately help develop the Rush players.
The Developmental Branch is divided into two divisions, the Micro Division and the Bantam Division. The Micro Division is for players from U5-U8 in which teams are formed by geographical region. The Bantam Division is U9-U10 and offers these different categories, the standard inter-league play for U9's and U10's, and Intermediate for U9 and U10 players. For players who are seeking more competition, the club offers Intermediate in which teams play teams from other clubs. The following is a list of our programs:
>School of Excellence >Intermediate
>Player Clinics >Coaches Clinics
Rush is proud of its traditions of taking young and talented players to the next level. Some of the players that the club has helped grow and develop are now part of our national or professional teams in the country and/or around the world such as Bobby Burling, Aleisha Cramer, and Conor Casey to name a few.
The purpose for the Developmental Branch is as follows:
> To promote the game of soccer in the community and provide a comprehensive and educational soccer program
> To provide a soccer experience that will meet our members needs and allow them to achieve their highest potential and thus become the best soccer club in the state, nation, and world
> To provide competent coaching and adequate physical facilities to the best of our ability
> To promote the spirit of sportsmanship and good physical and mental health associated with the game of soccer
The Rush, through a player first philosophy, has given kids of all ages a place to play and improve. The Developmental Branch allows each child to pursue his/her own goals, while building confidence and self-esteem.
For any questions, please contact Matt Stelmaszek at firstname.lastname@example.com.

We all deal with uncertainty when making everyday purchase decisions. From what earphones to buy to what type of chair you should pick up for your office. Sure, salespeople and product benefits tell you a lot about a product, but overselling and exaggerating every little feature of the item can sometimes cloud our judgement, which may result in a disappointed purchase. It seems their is a gap between what the product says it offers, to what you experience or can do with the product. That void is what I like to call the true "reality of a product". But how and where do we go to find accurate information about a product or service before we actually go through with the purchase. Well, three gentlemen from Seattle saw this discrepancy and created a place where consumers can interact with others, ask questions, and provide insightful information about a product or service.
Welcome to Yabbly
Yabbly was created out of need to streamline consumer questions, specifically relating to purchase decisions. The idea for the application was initially spurred in 2012 by three Seattle-based engineers: Tom Leung, Steven Neuman and Ian Shafer. They saw a flaw in the current consumer purchase process, from inaccurate product information and benefits to the inefficiencies of asking users about products on current social media sites. Thus, Yabbly was born.
At its foundation, Yabbly is a social media app that specializes in purchasing decisions, stating they are "Quora meets consumer reports". It pairs users together to create the ultimate shopping research engine, providing crowdsourcing to answer any question a consumer might have about a product or service.
The issue with apps these days is the intangible benefits that a user needs or gains from using the application. Finding that point is key to the success of any startup, asking what users want and how they want to be recognized. Yabbly did this by incorporating "Karma" points into their system. When you answer someones question, you get karma points, and vice versa. This point system gives the app that fulfilling feeling of helping someone else out. It also increases usage, as it holds parts of the community accountable in regards to a users posed question.
Looking to the future
The trio have been making some impressive moves in 2012, from a couple rounds of seed funding to making some noise at this years SXSW Accelerator. From an online standpoint, the model isn't new. There are hundreds of product review sites, but Yabbly delivers it in a very unique way. The idea of pairing consumer information with social features, while adding in a bit of "karma" to engage users on a regular basis is what will propel their success. This will allow the Seattle startup to gain some traction in the app and consumer review market. As of right now, you still have to request an invite to join the community, but they are accepting new people everyday.
Do you see this app gaining traction in the consumer review market? Or is the market too saturated?
Look forward to hearing from you.
