With a few discarded mailing tubes, construction paper, and Fiskars Squeeze Punches you can craft these characters in under 20 minutes.
The AdvantEdge™ Punch System features slide-and-lock technology that makes punching perfectly aligned borders easier than ever.
Ringing in the New Year for my family is generally a small, casual affair and doesn't usually get a whole lot of attention when it comes to party décor. Although, this year, our celebration will have a little more fancy added to it thanks to some inspiration during my last shopping trip.
Last time I was out at the Dollar Tree I spotted these cute little individual serving-sized bottled of Sparkling Red Grape Juice that resembled a fancy wine bottle and thought it would be perfect to dress them up a bit to make our celebration at home feel a little more special for my kids.
I've put together some other quick and easy ideas for your holiday celebrating! These ideas work for a New Year's Eve celebration, but they are also suitable for any celebration whether it be a birthday, anniversary or wedding. Of course, each of these ideas uses some of my favorite Fiskars tools in very simple ways – simple because I want you to spend all your time celebrating this holiday, not slaving over your decorations.
It's quite traditional to wish everyone to be healthy, wealthy and wise in the coming year and I wanted to put my own spin on wishing my family well by gifting them with words of motivation and affirmation inside of a paper fortune cookie party favor.
They are quite simple to make and only need a few supplies.
First decide upon your 'fortunes' and print them in your word processing program. You'll want your phrases to stretch no longer than 4.5" long and no more than a few typed lines tall. You can google 'fortune cookie sayings' if you need help with wording your fortune.
Then, you'll gather patterned papers and cut a 4.5" circle for each fortune using the Ultra ShapeXpress along with the smallest circle from the Super-Sized Circle Set.
Gently fold circle in half, creasing ONLY 1" in the middle. Open circle and add a glue dot approximately ¼" away from the crease on both sides of the crease. Then pinch the circle in half in the opposite direction of the crease, but DO NOT crease.
Instead, grab the opposing points with your thumb and middle finger, while pushing inward on the crease with your pointer finger. Once the crease starts caving move your pointer finger and tuck the thumb and pointer finger in between the paper to pinch the glue dots together. Slide fortune into cookie. Once you get the hang of this process you can tuck the fortune in the cookie before collapsing the paper to form the cookie shape.
There are many other small ways in which you can put a little fun and sparkle into the occasion. For this next idea, I've just customized a standard bag of plain white confetti by adding small pops of color and sparkle to the mix. This is done with just a little hand exercise squeezing the ¼" hand-held circle punch! The punch collects all the little confetti dots as you punch controlling the mess as you go. You'll be surprise at what a small amount you'll need to punch to breathe life into the plain white confetti. (Pssst…if you can't find plain confetti at your discount store, then raid the 2-hole and 3-hole punches at the office. They work beautifully!)
Then, to 'ring in the new year', I added jingle bells as a functional embellishment just tied around the top of the tube.
To decorate the 'fancy' kid-friendly wine bottles, I simply covered the labels by layering patterned paper, with cardstock and sparkle paper, then finished it off with some ribbons. To add a little more dimension and visual interest, I ran the turquoise cardstock through the paper crimper first. The only thing you'll have to remember when doing this is to use a stronger adhesive when adhering the crimped paper.
A party wouldn't be a party without and invitation, now would it!? These invitations were made super simple by using the Ultra ShapeXpress along with the Uppercase Letter ShapeTemplate Set. Cutting the letters with a template ensures that each one is exactly the same and saves tons of time if you are duplicating the design over and over.
Lastly, since it's a party celebrating the arrival of a new year, you'll want to play off the '2012' in your décor as much as possible. A '12 sticker placed on cardstock, then punched using a squeeze punch makes the perfect little embellishment to hang from the neck of a wine bottle, the stem of your wine glass or even as a topper on your tube of confetti.
However it is that you decide to celebrate the New Year, just know that the Fiskars family wishes you a very safe, happy, and memorable celebration!

Lady Gaga - Lady Gaga lands freebie from Donatella Versace
Lady Gaga was reportedly given her favourite look from Donatella Versace's Spring/Summer 2014 collection for free.
Lady GaGa was given her favourite item from Donatella Versace's new collection for free.
The 'Applause' singer was reportedly so enamoured with the Italian designer's crystal-embellished white mesh hood when the look hit the Atelier Versace catwalk in Paris on Sunday night (19.01.14) that she begged her close friend to let her keep it.
It is rare for designers to make such a generous offer straight off the catwalk and Gaga is now the only person in the world to own the high fashion piece, Vogue.co.uk is reporting.
Close friends Gaga and Donatella arrived at the Atelier Versace show for Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2014 this weekend looking like clones of one another.
Gaga - who is the face of Versace's new campaign - stunned in a floor-length black silk gown, with her platinum blonde locks matching the Italian couturier's own tresses.
The pop star isn't the only source of inspiration for the iconic designer, however, with Donatella citing Britain's Queen Elizabeth as one of her greatest muses.
She told The Sunday Times newspaper: ''She is couture. I could put her in the colours in this collection, the lilac, pale pinks and purples, but my dream was to put her in black.''

L'Eixample, Barcelona
11 Reviews
11 Reviews
Favorite thing:
Barcelona is not only the old town – city, but also it has more districts for a nice visit.
Firstly, Barcelona old town is a place with oldest treasures of city – Cathedral, Santa Maria del Mar church, Kings' palace. Here is also Citadel park, where some time ago town's citadel was built, also vibrant Rambla street.
Montjuic is a place on a hill with nice panorama views of city. Here is a green surrounding, but also nice architectural objects as Montjuic castle, National art museum, and Olympic stadium.
Eixample district is the most famous for Gaudi works – Sanctuary of holy Family, houses of Cassa Batllo, La Pedrera, and hospital of Sant Pau. This district mainly represents Barcelona architecture of 19 – 20 centuries.
Every picture of this tip presents different district.
Favorite thing:
Located north of Placa Catalunya, L'Eixample is the city's commercial and economic heart. It is also home to some very fabulous modernista architecture, most of which is located on or near to the elegant Passeig de Gracia.
The main attraction in the area (and possibly in the city itself) is the stunning Gaudi designed basilica, La Sagrada Familia. This immense church is still under construction after more than 100 years! You can take a look inside and see the builders at work.
Another Gaudi designed building is La Pedrera or Casa Mila. If you have the time it is worth a look inside - make sure you pay a visit to the roof to see the giant chimney pots. Close by, you may see the pointed turrets of the Casa de les Punxes, or perhaps the intriguing façade of Casa Comalat. The latter was designed by Salvador Valeri and Gaudi's influence is evident.
Fondest memory: Just off Passeig de Gracia check out the bizarre looking Fundacio Antoni Tapies, which is a modernista building with what looks like a pile of barbed-wire on its roof. The building is filled with the art of Antoni Tapies, who is known for his experimental works.
Back on Passeig de Gracia, you have three modernista gems all in a row. Casa Batllo is a Gaudi designed residential building - a fabulous place to visit, with probably the most expensive admission charge in town.
Next you have Casa Amatller, which was designed by Puig I Cadafalch. It has Gothic windows and an unusual stepped gable roof. Pop inside the foyer to see the beautiful stained glass ceiling above the stairs.
Last building on the same block is the Casa Lleo Morera which was built in 1905, designed by Domenech I Montaner. It has lots of small, columned balconies on its face, with a domed tower on top.
Favorite thing:
In my opinion, the best place to stay is in L'Eixample, near the Sagrada Famiglia.
I liked this neighborhood because I found it clean and safe, very convenient and full of stores and restaurants that stayed open late. The prices for food and drink here were half of what they were in the Barri Gottica.
Fondest memory: In this area, you're not staying in a tourist trap. You're staying in Barcelona. You won't find a whole lot of tourists here. While the plus side of this is that you really do get a good feel of what it is like to live and work in Barcelona, the downside is that you will need to use whatever Spanish you know. In this neighborhood, you really don't need to worry about the pickpockets and guilleys. Grocery stores are common, and there is just a lot to see and do.
Favorite thing:
This is the name (La Manzana de la Discordia) given to a block of houses in the Passeig de Gracia, where you can find the:
- Casa Lleo Morera,
- Casa Amatller and the
- Casa Batllo,
3 jewels of the BCN modernism.
So why "apple"? The word manzana has 2 meanings in spanish: apple and block of houses.
The first meaning is a block of houses that are all very important and the discord comes when it has to be decided which one is the best.
And here comes the other meaning (apple): according to a Greek Myth, an apple was the responsible of the Trojan Wars, as it was given as a prize to the most beautiful Goddes (out of 3), causing the revenge of the other 2.
So here are 3 buildings (as the 3 Goddess) and none wants to decide who is the winner... well, I have my favourite, but I won't tell, LOL!!
Fondest memory: Passeig de Gracia 35, 41 and 43.
Metro Pg. de Gracia
Favorite thing:
There's a zone, in Barcelona, in the barri Eixample, and also a little part of ciutat Vella, where the gay people hav a lot of bars, discos, and another things to enjoy. A lot of this gay people get now their home here, and we can say it's a new neightbourghood, that i have heard people talking about as "Gaycelona". If a couple walk around, they can feel like the men look at the leggs of the man, the other way that normally. In the photo, the zone, more or less.
Favorite thing: Between 1860 and 1920 Barcelona expanded into a grid of uniform streets parallel to the sea, an area known as l'Eixample (the Extension). Today this is a residential, commercial and business district, divided in half by the Diagonal, a grand avenue cutting through the grid at a 45-degree angle. It's an interesting example of innovative town planning, and contains Barcelona's finest Modernist buildings. Some of the best are in the Passeig de Gràcia; look for No. 43, Casa Batlló, with a mosaic facade and wavy roofline that represent St. George's dragon. The block at No. 92 is known as La Pedrera, Gaudí's last secular work. It's without a single straight line or sharp corner.
Favorite thing:
the area of Barcelona called eixample is a quarter that was built after 1859, when they tore down the city walls. This second Barcelona was carefully planned and structured by Ildefons Cerda i Sunyer and laid out as a grid.
Fondest memory: It's where most of the wonderful modernist buildings are located: Gaudì's houses (la pedrera, casa batlò), the sagrada familia, parc guell, but also, by other architects, casa amatler, casa de les punxes and the hospital san pau.
Fondest memory: wandering the streets of the Eixample area and discovering its weird and wonderful and distinct architectural styles...just go when the lines aren't so massive and maybe you can go inside these buildings instead of just observing from across the street...
Favorite thing:
When visiting Barcelona you should take your time! It's not possible to 'do' the cituy in two or three days, you better take at least one week to explore all that this city has to offer. I myself have been there so many times now, and each time i find out that there are still interesting things to discover!
The city has several intersting areas that you can visit: of course there's first the barri gotic: the old town with its small, dark little alleys, its historical buildings like the Carhedral and its beutifull placas like Placa Reial. Secondly there is the Eixamle ('extension.' It's the part of the city build during the Modernité, at the end of the 19 th. century and beginning of the 20 th. century, wich is build under influence of the city's great Modernité architects like Gaudi)In this area you can find Gaudi's famous houses like La Pedrera and of course the hughe, almost surrealistic Sagrada Familia. Third, there are two hills that you must Visit: the monthuic and the parc Güell. At the Montjuic you can find many interesting things: there's an old castle, there's a 'poble espanyol' (a little village with buildings that are exact copys of all kinds of spanisch typical architecture), you can find the Palau National at this hill, and last but not least, the estadi Olympic. The parc Güell, located on the other side of the city, is like an open air museum, containing a great deal of Gaudi's architecture style: beautifull, colourfull stutues, buildings and recreation facilities. It also gives you a magnificant view over the city of Barcelona! But there's still more to see: Near the harbour you find Barceloneta with its lovely little restaurants and pubs (where you can have tastefull 'tapas'), and the harbourdistrict offers a lot of nightlife possibilties (there are disco's and bars lying in the harbour) Near Barceloneta you can also find the Parc de Cuitadella (wich was once build for the Expo: there is f.e. a museu de Zoologia and art modern, and a zoo) and the olympic village (from the games of 1992). And, finaly you can visit the Tibidabo hill, which has a funny amusement parc at some 1000 meters above the city!
Fondest memory: There are so many great memmories of the city. The best thing to do is, when you have visited all the important sights, just to relax and hang around on one of the many placa's the city has, like f.e. the placa Reial or the placa Catalunya. Sitting there on the grass of the place Catalunya near the fontain, meeting other people there, having a drink and playing guitar, that was allright! Nowadays, though, the place Reial and Catalunya have changed a bit: there are some negative characters hanging around there, annoying others with their drugsdealing. That's a pity, but the police is starting to do something agaisnt it, so that the good atmosphere is going to return!
From all things I have visited, the most interesting one was the parc Güell. It is interesting for it's originality and for it's location: you enter the parc at a placa called 'Lesseps' and then you clim up the hill, by stairs, so that you finaly get on the top of the hill, where there's a cross, and from that point you have a splendid view over the city, while you yourself are in the middle of nature, mediteranean forrests, and the smell of Eucalyptus; a very pleasant sensation.
Favorite thing:
Gran Teatre del Liceu (Opera House): Restored after a fire in 1994.
Gaudi's Palau Guell.
The Plaça Reial it is a must among meeting points when the day comes to an end.
And Wax Museum which brings us closer to one of the most unusual café-bars in the city- El Bosc de les Fades, the decoration of which is reminiscent of a forest inhabited by fairies and elves.
Our walk ends at statue of Cristofor Colom ( Catalan or maybe Genovese who discovered America in 1492).
Near Via Laietana (It is a main street which receive the name from Laietans Iberic residents in Barcelona former to Greeks and Romans), you can find The Palau de la Música Catalana. It is the main work of Lluis Domenech i Muntaner. One of the most important concert halls in the city and a stunning example of Modernist architecture.
You are now in the quarter where there are a lot of wholesale and retail clothing business in the city (it is a must in Trafalgar and Ronda Sant Pere).
Favorite thing:
The commercial and touristic centre, full of big stores, restaurants and people walking around.

The Last Full Measure
How Soldiers Die in Battle
In this brilliantly researched, deeply humane work of history, Michael Stephenson traces the paths that have led soldiers to their graves over the centuries, revealing a wealth of insight about the nature of combat, the differences among cultures, and the unchanging qualities of humanity itself. Behind every soldier's death lies a story, a tale not just of the cold mathematics of the battlefield but of an individual human being who gave his life. What psychological and cultural pressures brought him to his fate? What lies--and truths--convinced him to march toward his death? Covering warfare from prehistory through the present day, The Last Full Measure tells these soldiers' stories, ultimately capturing the experience of war as few books ever have. In these pages, we march into battle alongside the Greek phalanx and the medieval foot soldier. We hear gunpowder's thunder in the slaughters of the Napoleonic era and the industrialized killing of the Civil War, and recoil at the modern, automated horrors of both World Wars. Finally, we witness the death of one tradition of "heroic" combat and the construction of another in the wars of the modern era, ranging from Vietnam to America's latest involvements in Iraq and Afghanistan. In exploring these conflicts and others, Stephenson draws on numerous sources to delve deep into fascinating, period-specific detail--tracing, for instance, the true combat effectiveness of the musket, the utility of the cavalry charge, or the vulnerabilities of the World War II battle tank. Simultaneously, he examines larger themes and reveals surprising connections across both time and culture. What does the medieval knight have in common with the modern paratrooper? What did heroism and bravery mean to the Roman legionary, or to the World War I infantryman--and what is the true motivating power of such ideals? How do men use religion, friendship, or even nihilism to armor themselves against impending doom--and what do we as human beings make of the undeniable joy some among us take in the carnage? Combining commanding prose, impeccable research, and a true sensitivity to the combatant's plight, The Last Full Measure is both a remarkably fresh journey through the annals of war and a powerful tribute to the proverbial unknown soldier.

From: Austin, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Groundcovers, Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Benefits of Habiturf from Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have been reading about Habiturf and my question should be easy to answer. Is this is a grass you would recommend for kid play? Sitting on the lawn, kicking a soccer ball, etc. Any information about the types of activities this lawn can withstand from humans would be great. thanks
Absolutely. First, read this article from the August 12, 2013 New York Times. Arid Southwest Cities' Plea: Lose the Lawn.
I sent an e-mail to Mark Simmons, Director, Research and Consulting, Ecosystem Design Group, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, who led the effort to develop Habiturf. He responded to the Times with this e-mail:
"Certainly, lawns maintained conventionally are a landscape on life-support. So lose the lawn or pay dearly. Or a third option – use native turfgrass species adapted to drought and low soil nutrients. Better still, use a blend of native species to form a lawn that effectively simulates a 'miniature prairie'. We have been researching this alternative approach to lawns for the last 5 years and already it has been adopted by home-owners, campuses and even at the George W Bush Presidential Center in Dallas. If the bi-monthly watering stops, then this lawn turns a drought-dormant brown, but will recover when rains return. This may be unsightly to some, but a few months of brown is a better alternative to no lawn at all. My kids would rather play in temporary-brown lawn than among cacti and rocks. And I still want my deck-chair and beer on grass, not hot gravel."
That is, if you will, from the horse's mouth.

Request: Adjust the Borg Neural Processor trade
So the new trade project is here, where I can trade 50 omega marks for 500 dilithium. That's awesome! But the other project-5 neural processors for 1,000 dilithium-is too much. My request is, please reduce the cost to 2 neural processors, or increase the dilithium reward.
Here's my rationale: I can easily get over 100 omega marks in two Elite STF runs. This allows for two trade in projects, or 1,000 dilithium.
However, I can only get 1,000 dilithium for FIVE neural processors, which takes FIVE Elite STF runs. This is just unbalanced. If the cost could be reduced to maybe 2 neural processors (making the effort required for the same 1,000 dilithium more equal), or maybe if the reward could be increaded to maybe 2,000 dilithium, this would be awesome. Thanks.
Check again I got 11 processors off of 1 STF at the end drop
Most STFs, you will probably only get 1.
i got 6 BNP's from an elite run w/ optionals . . .
DFJ... how about you stop complaining?
They added a way to exchange a butt load of omega marks (which are super easy to make) into dilithium.... yet you people still find something to complain about.
This game isn't meant to be completed in 1 hour. You actually have to work towards getting the rewards you want. You people are soo damn impatient.
Why don't you thank them for brining back more ways to earn a monetary conversion currency rather then complain?
I've said what's on my mind.
Dilithium austerity is the new norm. Less dilithium for more work.
Cryptic should be proud.
960 dil for completion
600 dil from marks conversion (minimum)
200 dil from BNP conversion (minimum)
= 1,760 dil per mission (minimum)
And that's being screwed?
Personally I say leave it alone, it's a suitable amount now.
I've said what's on my mind.

sick and tired of this wind
Don't know about you folks but I'm am sick and tired of the wind which has been blowing like crazy
It's almost always windy around here. Sometimes when it stops it seems like something is missing. Today was pretty calm and beautiful and sunny outside and it took me about an hour to figure out why it seemed too quiet.
It's good for fall raking though, sometimes I just rake towards the edge of my property and stand around looking innocent while the leaves blow across the road. ;0)
Yes, I don't think I've seen it this bad, most of last week, only
Friday was good, now all weekend when I have time to work
in the yard...sickening!
Friday I took the afternoon off cutting up some fallen poplars,
today I have witnessed about another 7 crashing down!...My
chainsaw is dull!
Boy, do I hate the wind. Couldn't we just for once have just a nice breeze? Between the wind, the mosquitoes coming, the ruts in the roads, the voles......it's enough to drive a person crazy =:(
Konrad that's too bad about all your trees. I hope when they fall they're not damaging additional trees.
Northspruce - if I lived across the road from you, I'd have to break down and get one of those annoying leaf blowers and send the leaves all back your way, LOL!
Stanly - Ditto.
I was out briefly this morning and almost got blown away.
If the kids are driving you crazy, put them outside, and they'll surely get blown to the neighbour's house, no matter how far away that may be, LOL !
I'm just hoping my newly acquired and not planted shrubs don't end up in our livingroom !
Nice break from the wind today, yesterday was TERRIBLE! My backyard is rather protected, so I was able to continue to work away and had seen and heard many dead trees come crashing down ... and yes, I'll also need to be getting the chain saw out to remove those that fell upon the lawn.
The other day while at a friend's place, the wind was so strong it was pelting their windows with blowing debris.
Sad for those that have lost their homes and livelihoods in the Slave Lake fire.

Jack Butler, a member of the Pro Football Hall of fame, has died. He was 85.

More from GlobalPost: Green Bay Packers give highest annual average salary in NFL history Butler was known as a revolutionary athlete. "Jack was a tremendous player who ranked among the best in league history," Steelers chairman Dan Rooney said in a statement. Butler made the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted rookie in 1951. Yet he became "the premiere cornerback of his era," CBS Sports wrote, collecting 52 interceptions during his nine seasons with the Steelers. He made the Hall of Fame in 2012.

2013 BMW 3 Series Sedan 328i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I've had this car for 1 1/2 years now, have about 22,000 miles on it. Bought it because I have to commute about 50 miles to work each day, highway driving, and I wanted something that would feel safe (especially for winter driving), comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Very happy with this car. Favourite feature is the engine -- accelerates so nicely, for passing trucks and making lane changes. Built in bolts attachments for a roof rack were a nice surprise, makes it easy to transport my bikes. Bluetooth works really nicely for talking on phone hands-free. No real negatives. Engine seemed loud at first, but I don't notice it anymore. Get the heated steering wheel for cold winters!

2013 BMW 3 Series Sedan 328i 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
This is my 3rd 3 series. As a few have commented, the interior of this car seems to be a step backward from prior models. Other than that...it is a delight to drive. I have 39,000 miles on my 2013. It is a thrill to drive...although different from my 2001 and 2007. Gas mileage is very good....27 in town....36 on highway...with plenty of power.
Bottom line....I'm very pleased with this car.
Someone earlier compared it to a Corolla. Pure Hyperbole!!

2013 BMW 3 Series Sedan 335i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
This car requires a lot of optional extras to be worthy of a BMW badge. I have the 335i with msport package, adaptive m suspension, and the variable sports steering as well as most of the tech options. If you're a driving enthusiast, PLEASE make sure your car has these options or you will be disappointed and feel ripped off. If you're just a law-abiding, eco pro using commuter, then by all means get a base 3 series with the tech package and you'll be content.
I feel like this car can handle DECENTLY, provide DECENT comfort, and has DECENT build quality. It's not a master of anything; I see it as a "jack of all trades". Good daily driver though.
Read the full review
I first fell for BMW in 2008. I purchased a 328xi. I was impressed with the sporty and solid road feel, refined-smooth-sounding power, and overall impressive build quality and materials throughout the cabin. I acquired another one in 2011, but noticed a very slight decline in materials...sun visor were plastic-like instead of cloth, and the nifty, cost-saving "Rest" feature was removed.
After driving a 2014 for one month, I'm so glad I didn't trade my 2011. Car sounds loud and odd, feels cheap, and the size of the vanity mirror is smaller. Stereo system quality has declined (lack of depth), and steering feel reminiscent of my grandfather's Buick. BMW has skimped on quality with this one.

I am really enjoying the car.
I only have 7,000 miles on it so far of mostly extreme cold weather driving and it has been great.
Not one single issue or visit to the dealer so far.
The AWD system is better in snowy conditions than any vehicle I have owned, and that includes a modern Subaru system, a Grand Cherokee, and two Toyotas, (one AWD the other 4WD).
It is very confidence inspiring in snow and ice, the electronic nannies do a great job.
Gas mileage has been surprising for how well the car performs.
In winter at temps of 10 below, still managed 24mpg in an AWD car.
When the temps get about 40 mileage hits low thirties for me but I drive like a sane person.
Excellent car.

I was a previous 3 series owner, 2009 328xi.
The straight 6 cylinder does sound different, the 2.0 liter turbo does fine.
The 2009 felt more solid to me and I actually liked the hydraulic steering.
My wife tells me she hated my old car and loves my new car.
Go figure.
If you are a new BMW owner I think you will like the car, the power and technology.
The car has an auto start/stop feature which I had the dealer remove, I wasn't a fan.
There are three driving modes, Eco, Normal and Sport.
You will take off like a rocket ship in Sport Mode, I think it might be too much throttle for the weight of the car.
Eco is actually not too bad and you save some milage which is always good.

I had a 2003 325i for 9 years before the repairs became too costly. I loved the drive, but jumped to an Infiniti G37x seeking more room, interior refinement, and reliability. The G just didn't do it for me from a performance perspective though, so back I came.
I surprised to see BMW went to a 4T, but once you drive it you won't know it. Quiet, smooth, and fast, plus it gave me a 9 MPG bump over my G and old 325. You get to 70 mph and think you're doing 45. The cabin is quiet, the engine is quiet, and its all BMW. The steering is softer (not soft, though), but gets tighter with speed. Even at lower speeds though, it is responsive.

2013 BMW 3 Series Sedan 320i 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
it came down to the audi A4 quattro and this car.
i almost got the audi, save for reliability issues that i had heard about.
at first, i wasn't that warm to the idea of the 320i, being that it was a detuned, stripped-down 328i.
but after a test drive, i was reasonably impressed and decided to go that route.
handling is nimble, car is quick enough, and it handles like a BMW, though softer than my old manual-transmission E46 325ci.
mine is a base model with basically only the moonroof and the power front seats with memory as the only options.
stripped-down and basic, but that's all i needed for a commute that was four miles to/from work each way with no freeways.

Here's to the new $40K BMW Corolla, or should they just be embarrassed to even put the BMW symbol, which is (really, was) the symbol of "fun to drive"?!
The pick-up in this car is jet-like, but that's where it ends. It handles like a Corolla. The interior is cheap and outdated, like a Corolla. This car handles like, you guessed it, a Corolla. It even has the same engine note as the Toyota Corolla. Everything about this car says "Toyota"! Except of course for the gorgeous exterior.
The ridiculous introduction of electronic-assisted steering will prove to be the beginning of the end for BMW. I don't wonder anymore why Audi is advertising "more drivers than ever are switching over from BMW"!

2013 BMW 3 Series Sedan 335i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
After owning for several months I think it is time to leave a review. Previously owning a 00 330i and 06 330i I was excited to be getting my first 335i. This car has been a disaster. It left me stranded on the side of the road at 900 miles after overheating, the entire fan system had to be replaced, the passenger side mirror is already broke and does not move, there is a constant vibration and rattle in the steering column, there is dull spots in the paint where it looks like it wasn't clear coated properly. I have already had this car in for repair's twice and without it for two weeks. Compared to my 00 and 06 this one does not even come close to the build quality. At least it looks nice.

Epic questions
Does anyone know if the Blue man group show and the Cirque dining shows will be extra charge?
The Blue Man group's shows are included in the fare.
The Cirque style shows are done in a "dinner theater" setting, and will carry a "small" surcharge.
Lucky you - getting to see BMG for free. In NY or Vegas you would pay $100/ticket easily.
The BMG is included.
Cirque is I believe $15 per person.

The Den Rooms
Even though it does not look appealing when first looking at destination, the rooms themselves were lovely, very basic all you needed for a one night after a night out very handy.
Although we were not informed we would be sharing a flat with other people which was strange and we did feel intimidated. The room was supposed to be non smoking even being in the room 5 minutes clothes and atmosphere stank of smoke it was disgusting!

Starting Soy Candle Business
I have been approached to sell Soy Candles on consignment at a business, which will be built in the summer.
I have never made soy candles in my life and would like some recommendations or hints if possible. I have found a supplier (Enchanted Lites Candle Company), which seems to have a good reputation and actually is the closest to my home.
Some additional questions I have are:
1) What recipe for ingredients do you use?
2) How large of batches(in double boiler) do you make?
3) Any labeling ideas?
4) I want to make 5 different scents to start, which would you recommend?
5) I am looking at making 15 oz size and any other size you would recommend?
6) What size wick would or should one use?
Any hints to start would be great!
Well to be quite honest. It takes longer than a few months to work out a quality consumer safe product.
However, the best place to start is with a kit. It takes some of the guess work out for you, gets you familar with the process, and gives you building blocks to work with.
Check the link out below. Moonglow carries EL waxes, and some of their fragrance oils.
Otherwise like I said Call up Enchanted Lites and ask for Bruce. He might be able to put a kit together with stuff they carry right there.
Here is a link that might be useful: MoonGlow Kits~Enchanted Lites Wax Supplier
Hi Dean,
I don't know how old this post is, but I thought I would tell you about the company where I buy my supplies. It is not only a soy candle company, but a health company and we offer a way to make money on many ways, not just your own efforts. If you would like to know more about it, check out this link and fill out the form when you get to the page.
Here is a link that might be useful: Soy Candle Therapy
I am not in business, but friend of mine is. So I can make 1 or 2 suggestions.
1)In addition to a 15 ounce candle, you might want to offer a 4 ounce "Try Me" size. Many consumers do not want 15 ounces of something they are not yet sure they like.
2)For scent, generally 1 ounce scent per pound of wax will work, though you will need to test each scent individually.
3)The size of wick varies with the diameter of the jar. There are many companies who sell supplies, and have an on-line guide to determining the right wick. (I know that CandleScience and PeakCandle do.)
