Colorado Water Congress
February 2, 2015--Big game: Aquatic football? (Pueblo Cieftain)
The game plan is in place. The team has been conditioned. It's been a rough season. The quarterback got beat up a little bit, but seems to be on a winning streak. OK, it's not football. But that is one way to get a first down as the state marches down the field to score with the Colorado Water Plan.
January 30, 2015--Governor: Face woes 'head-on' (Pueblo Chieftain)
That two-word description is one way to boil down the Colorado Water Plan, all 2,000 pages and 15,000 comments on it, the Colorado Water Congress learned Thursday. "We have to be smarter. We're not going to have enough to do everything we want," Gov.
January 23, 2015--A conversation with Jim Lochhead and Eric Kuhn on water supply, transbasin diversions, conservation and more (CFWE)
Transbasin diversions have had a long, changing and important history redistributing water across Colorado. In partnership, the Colorado Water Congress and Colorado Foundation for Water Education coordinated a series of webinars looking at these projects and exploring questions that are arising in the drafting of Colorado's Water Plan.
January 15, 2015--Senate panel OKs water conservation measure (Grand Junction Sentinel)
Although the bill doesn't actually mandate anything, Republicans on a Senate committee Wednesday voted against it, in part, because they feared it might.

Last Friday, the former head of the water authority serving Las Vegas, Nev., electrified a crowd of Colorado water managers with her passionate and eloquent call for strategic collaboration amongst all who rely upon the Colorado River.
August 25, 2014--How the West was sunk? (Pueblo Chieftain)
Drought is nothing new to the arid West. Vast swatches of Colorado burned in 2012-13, and California, Oregon and Washington are experiencing one of the worst fire seasons in history this year. In the Colorado River basin, Lake Mead is at the lowest levels since it first filled, while Lake Powell is approaching levels too low to generate power.
August 24, 2014--Hickenlooper: No water brawls (Pueblo Chieftain)
Whatever else is in it, the biggest element of Colorado's water plan will be cooperation. "Water can either divide or unite us. In the end, it's our choice," Gov. John Hickenlooper told the Colorado Water Congress last week.
August 22, 2014--Governor thinks new major dam project 'unlikely' (Aspen Times)
Gov. John Hickenlooper told members of the Colorado Water Congress on Thursday that he thinks it's "unlikely" that public opinion in the state has shifted in favor of a new major dam project being built in the state, even in the face of population growth and drought.

text: LELO Items Make Their Hollywood Debut Posted by: Donna Turner in The Latest from LELO Share ! tweet It's only fitting that our tenth anniversary year would see us get our 15 minutes of fame. According to movie goers at advance screening of The Wolverine, the latest summer blockbuster based on the Marvel Comics superhero, LELO makes a special cameo amidst all of the action and high-flying stunts. Items like dual-action vibe Soraya™ and the wearable couples' massager Tiani™ 2 make an appearance in a scene in which Hugh Jackman, as Wolverine, finds himself in a love hotel in Tokyo, Japan where much of the film takes place. We're told that it's a fleeting scene though – so keep your eyes peeled! Not our first foray into mainstream entertainment, LELO has been seen on TV shows around the world, and even our G-spot vibrator GIGI™ had a very big role in a comedy film out of Hong Kong recently, The Wolverine, however marks our first appearance in a big budget Hollywood movie that everyone in the LELO office is dying to see. The sequel to 2009's X-men Origins: Wolverine, the more simply titled The Wolverine sees Hugh Jackman as the titular hero who this time travels to Japan and becomes involved in a conflict that causes him to face his demons. It's directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line, Girl, Interrupted) and opens in cinemas worldwide July 26th 2013.

WISCONSIN SPORTS ROUNDUP: Brewers sweep Philadelphia, now 6-0 on the road this year
PHILADELPHIA -- The Milwaukee Brewers are off to their best start since 1998, after completing a three-game sweep at Philadelphia last night 6-2. The Brewers are now 7-and-2, their best nine-game start since they had the identical record 16 years ago. Marlon Byrd homered in the second inning to give the Phillies a 1-nothing lead.

"The hard part is picking out the invitation, etc. There are so many to choose from. The easy part was personalizing them. Wedding Paper Divas makes it very easy. My invitations, response cards and thank you card are beautiful. The paper texture is very good and the colors really look great. They sent the proofs to be reviewed very quickly and the product was delivered when they said it would be. Customer service is great. I make a mistake on the order number and sent them an email within 24 hrs. they sent me back an email with a number I could call and the gentleman I spoke to was great. I was freaking out and he took care of everything in a matter of seconds, not even minutes. All brides out there use Wedding Paper Divas for you invitations, etc. They are great!!!"
"I really appreciated the proofing process. I wanted to make some changes to the wording of the invite. The changes came back more quickly than I expected, and I appreciated the edits for consistency. I was very pleased with the paper and design quality as well."
"Just what I wanted down to a tee, really happy with everything about this product,customer service were so helpful and did everything possible to get the invite customized for me. thank you for making this such an easy process!!"
"This turned out perfectly. The flowers and design overall are beautiful. The paper quality is excellent. I was able to personalize pretty much anything I wanted, I even was able to take off the menu selection items on the response card (we are having a buffet) and instead include a couple lines for people to include whether they are bringing a date or family member. Customer service was great! I am happy with the fact that they allow you to review the sample item again before the final shipment."
"I recommend ordering a sample of the invitations before deciding which one to get. We were surprised how some looked better or worse in person. We were incredibly happy with the product. The colors, paper, print, design were all fantastic. What we were most happy about was the costumer service and response time. We had a lot of special requests and everything got back to us to review or edit within 24 hours. It was just the easiest process!"

Tigger – 7 year old male Mastiff
Please meet terrific Tigger, a 7 year old Mastiff. Tigger is a gentle giant who is completely bewildered as to why he is in rescue. Tigger was brought to us as his family moved and did not take him with them. Tigger is proven with young children and is a big softie with everyone he meets. Tigger cannot live with cats or small furries, but could live with a laid back dog of similar size (he's a little worried by small dogs).
Tigger is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Tigger is used to being left for around 4 hours per day and is house trained and non destructive. Tigger is a laid back boy who just loves people and just wants a family to call his own once again.
Tigger is worried he will be overlooked because of his age – can you help restore his faith in humans? If you are looking for a living, easy doing, no fuss dog to join your family. Please fill in a pre-adoption form on our website.
Todd – 4-5 year old male Mastiff
Please meet Terrific Todd! Todd is a Mastiff of approx 4-5 years old, he came to us when he was left unclaimed in the pound and was due to be put to sleep after serving his 7 days – we have no previous history for him. He is quite the regal gent, he walks beautifully on the lead and is house trained, most of the day he spends snoozing on the sofa however he loves his food and walks!
Todd is a gentle giant who is mother hen to our tiny Dalmation puppy, he is a darling with not a bad bone in his body. He is currently a little under weight so is having 3 good meals a day to build him up. He loves other dogs so must be homed either where there is a resident dog or he would have plenty of contact with dogs. He is not destructive at all and is quite content being left for short periods. He is a very undemanding and lazy boy. Would suit an older person or couple.
This lovely boy would make a fantastic addition to any family as he is really laid back and undemanding, but equally a lovely cuddly loyal companion! Todd does have bursts of energy where he wants to play with you. He loves a tuggy toy and a football! Todd can live with other dogs and can also be housed with children age 13 plus.
Todd is castrated, fully vaccinated and chipped. He is flea and wormed. Could this gentle giant live with you?

Cara – 3 year old female Mastiff
My name is Cara. I'm a Mastiff girl around three years old. I was found abandoned in an empty house. I'm a big girl and full of energy. I will need a home where I'll get plenty of walks. Cara has been transferred to a busier branch to increase her opportunity for finding a home – kennelled on our behalf with RSPCA Chesterfield at 137 Spital Lane, Spital, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S41 0HL.

This is Colin, he's a young-ish (between 3-4) Mastiff mash-up. He's been a long-term project of ours after being given to us by the Metropolitan police when his owner got him into trouble. Colin has been in kennels and working every day on his rehab and is finally at the point where we think he can go to a home, whether long-term foster (feed supplied and vets bills covered) or forever. Colin, for all his size, is a timid chap and a bit of a worrier, he's improved beyond imagining since we've had him, and came on leaps and bounds when he was switched to a female handler, he is also very fond of his male handlers, but actively enjoys the company of girls (he is a ladies man) and becomes more playful and waggy.
He will take time to settle into a new home, and needs a very repetitive routine as any changes (in the beginning, even when we moved a coffee mug) can make him unsettled and he will begin to exhibit stress pacing which he can keep up for a long time. He is fully muzzle trained, because he can be snappy with other dogs, it is an agreed condition of adoption that Colin always wears a muzzle in public, however during his time with us he has been slowly introduced to our resident stooge dogs and has learned to play without being too much of a pillock. A truly experienced home with a truly stable existing dog will not be ruled out as an adoption option (we look at what's right for each individual dog, we don't work from tick sheets). But be under no illusion that Colin will be an easy pet! He's a project dog, for someone who wants to reap the rewards of hard work and seeing him through the next stage of his rehab. He's never (well, never say never!) going to be a dog you pop down the pub with who wants a fuss from everyone, but he will be a loyal companion and might teach a new owner some new things, we've certainly learned a lot from him.
Unusually, we're happy for Colin to live out as long as he has every day house time as well as daily human contact, he would be an excellent farm dog (wouldn't they all!), but equally we'll consider a house with plenty of land – Colin needs much of his exercise somewhere familiar and safe. He travels ok in a vehicle, and has been fine at the vets. If you think you're up for a real project, we'll support you as much as you both need, if you adopt in the Leeds area or are happy to travel there on a weekly basis the Colin and you can attend weekly training with his current handler, making the transition easier for both him and you.
For more information on Colin, or to arrange a visit, please email firstname.lastname@example.com MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...
Clara – 1-4 year old female Mastiff
Clara beautiful Mastiff girl of 1 to 4 years of age. Clara is a real headturner. She is a stunning example of her breed and has a great personality robot . Clara seems a well organised girl who will be a great addition to a lucky family.
Update: From one of our volunteers
Have walked Clara twice this week and initially she seemed quite a shy girl who stayed snuggled in her kennel, putting her head out when i put her kennel mate on a lead she then came out and happily enjoyed her walk. The first walk with both together and Clara on a short lead I found her quite strong but more because of her enthusiasm to get going. The second time I walked her on her own with an extendable which suited both her and me. She really loves to be out and explore and she put a smile on my face knowing how much she enjoyed herself. She connects well with you and pulls at your heart strings.
The very patient Clara waiting to be checked over by our Vet who thought she was just beautiful and took her picture she was a good girl and no complaints with being examined. When she wanted to walk made such a sweet sound it sounded like it was coming from a pup and not our big Clara. Off for her walk and one happy girl.READ MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...
Jumbo – 1-4 year old male Mastiff
Jumbo very large Mastiff boy of approx 1 to 4 years of age. Jumbo is an awesome sight, big , beautiful and a real head turner. His pics do not show how big he is and anyone considering adopting him will need to take into account the shear space he will take up in the home. He will need an owner who is relatively fit physically as he is a powerful lad. Jumbo, despite his size, is pretty well behaved, he responds well to a handler who can show leadership and, once who is in charge has been established, he walks pretty well on the lead. He would respond well to reward based training and he already knows the 'sit' command. Jumbo is a softy at heart and likes to give big wet kisses, he takes treats gently and is a bit of a gentle giant. Jumbo gets on well with his female kennel mate.
UPDATE: From one of our volunteers
I walked this giant chap earlier in the week and, yes, he is very strong but he didn't pull hard for long. I took him out on a normal lead and it took a couple of minutes for us to settle into a pace we were both happy with – somewhere around a medium-fast walking pace. Jumbo didn't sniff that much of the hedgerow – he seemed quite fixed on the distance ahead and wanted to get the maximum distance out of his 45 minutes outside the kennels.
We did break into a jog for a short while but he preferred to walk, in truth. As we rounded one corner, a bunch of squirrels were running around on the ground. Jumbo wanted to chase and took me with him for the first few steps, but soon responded to a firm "no" and me digging my heels in. He likes his doggy choccy treats but they look somehow out of place next to his mouth – he's a very big guy but very lovable, too. Jumbo passed other large dogs very well and showed no interest in what they were doing. Jumbo was no trouble at all to put back into his kennel and I look forward to taking him out again soon.READ MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...
Beam – 7 year old female Mastiff
Beam came into our care after she had served her 7 days in the pound and was due to be destroyed. As a large dog her home offers are limited, as a older large dog this lessens even more, but do consider our beautiful girl. Beam is a stunning looking girl, she is majestic to walk, although strong on the lead at first after her initial burst has worn of she is much easier.
Beam has had some previous training and knows some basic commands, she gets on well with her large male canine kennel mate. She loves people and adores a fuss, she wriggles and grins and almost bursts with pleasure when she is receiving a fuss, she is a happy girl and her tail is constantly wagging. Beam would make a wonderful companion.
Beth – 3 year old female Mastiff
Beth is a large, slightly timid Mastiff girl. She is approx 3 years old. She will need a large home with plenty of space to run around and enjoy life. She is not always ok with other dogs but with a capable owner, she should be fine.
She is a very strong dog, and pulls a lot on the lead so will need an owner experienced with large dogs.READ MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...
Arthur – 1-2 year old male Mastiff
Meet Arthur, a very happy friendly 1 or 2 year old Mastiff boy, who is fine with other dogs both male and female. He is also friendly towards children. He loves nothing more than cuddles and walks and to play and he is very affectionate. He would love to be in a family with another dog for company. Arthur will be neutered before his rehoming.

'Front row' seat with Bruschi
By Mike Reiss
ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi talks about preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro as part of ESPN's "
Front Row
" blog.
Bruschi will be joined by former Titans coach Jeff Fisher on the climb, and he tells a story from the 2006 season when his emotion overflowed on the field against Fisher's team.
"One of my biggest tirades as a player – and it didn't happen often – was actually directed at Jeff and his team,"ĀBruschiĀrecalls. "Receiver Bobby Wade went low on Rodney Harrison and blew his knee out. I went ballistic. It was the first time, one of the only times, I ever lost total emotional control on the football field when I started yelling at the Tennessee sideline. Jeff was in my sights and I just lost it. I'm sure we'll relive that memory a little bit."
That was an unforgettable day, as Harrison had worked hard to return from a knee injury. It was the season finale and the game was extremely chippy.

Alliances Mega #2: Stinking Swamps
As the next phase in the Summoner Wars continues, with alliances being struck between the sixteen previously-disparate factions, what do you get when the undead Fallen Phoenix invade the lands of the Swamp Mercenaries?
Whatever else it may be, it's going to be stinky.
Alchemists, also known as The Other Board Game With A Smartphone App, is all about chemistry. Y'know, sort of. Strictly speaking, it's about alchemy, and I'm sure any self-respecting chemist could speak some stern words about how they're different, even if those words amounted to so much whiffle and puff to the rest of us.
However, Alchemists is about chemistry in the sense that you take some ingredients, set up an experiment to combine them, get your results, and then still not have much of an idea what's going on. At least not yet. It's a game where you'll complete a long-awaited mixture — say, mandrake root and red scorpions combine to make paralysis potions — then quietly jot down a note and chew on the back of your pencil for a bit, wondering how the hell you're going to publish a paper about that underwhelming factoid, let alone make a fortune or get famous from it.
Welcome to academia.
Argent: Big & Tall
Argent: The Consortium was my favorite game of 2014 — which, sure, was a bit of a cheat, considering it didn't release until early 2015. But such is the perk of being a gentleman thief who only targets overseas board game warehouses.
The base game was packed with variety. There were tons of treasures, spells, and supporters, certainly more than you could see in a single game. Every single room and even the workers who carried out your bidding came with an alternate B-side. Between the myriad possible university combinations, powers, spells, and victory conditions, it was possible that every game would be different in some way.
To that end, if you had asked me if Argent needed an expansion, I would have laughed in your face, spittle soiling your eyebrows. Now, I can't imagine playing without Argent's first full expansion, Mancers of the University. So what's the deal?
Alliances Mega #1: Hogar's Run
Deals have been struck. Some benevolent, some… well. It was always inevitable that once the Summoner Wars began in earnest, the sixteen factions who found themselves in possession of summoning stones would seek alliances, no matter how desperate or ill-motivated. And when it's between the Tundra Guild and the Cave Filth, that's one fight you sit back and let run its course.
Homeland Is Where the Smart Is
Trust no one.
Except me when I tell you to trust no one, obviously.
Like so many of Phil Eklund's games, including the hit Pax Porfiriana, the cards transform after a couple games. At first, they're cluttered with text and competing symbols, so many that they're nearly impossible to parse. After sending your tribe to hunt polar bears, you'll reach out to pick up your failed rolls for another try, only for another player to bark at you, "What are you doing? You can't reroll those."
"Yes I can!" you'll insist. "It says so right here."
"That's a Sage," they'll point out. They might even reach across the table and tap your tribe elder card. "Your Sage lets you reroll fours, yeah, but only for metallurgy rolls. See? See the difference? You'd need a Tracker to reroll fours while hunting on land."
After a while you'll spot them, the tiny symbols that represent metallurgy and land hunting. You'll nod slowly, staring at the cards spread across the table. Then your opponent will clear his throat. "Oh, and hey, threes mean the polar bears ate your guys. So you just lost two hunters."
Do Deus
When it comes to board games, one of the few things I enjoy more than arranging tableaus is arranging tableaus that matter.
What on Earth do I mean by that, you ask? Basically, that you should play Deus.
The Scramble for Ganymede
While the European powers of our universe were bloody to the elbows with the "Scramble for Africa," invading, occupying, and colonizing the continent down south, their near-exact counterparts of Greg Broadmore's Dr. Grordbort's setting had already taken to the stars — to invade, occupy, and colonize everything other than Earth. It's the difference between Heart of Darkness and Heart of Darkness on Titan, with helpings of big game hunting, resource exploitation, and suppression of unruly and many-appendaged natives.
Considering the delightful eccentricity of its setting, it's hardly surprising that Onward to Venus should be designed by Martin Wallace, whose unconventional design philosophy resulted in that other alternate-history mashup, A Study in Emerald. But where A Study in Emerald was about the paranoia that surrounded European anarchist movements in the 19th century (plus aliens), Onward to Venus is concerned with the aforementioned explosion of colonialism at roughly the same time. Plus aliens.
Not too much in common, then.
Fief: Chocolate and Raspberries Edition
The vanilla edition of Fief: France 1429 already contained about 76 things to keep track of at once, so it's only natural that it should already have five expansions to round that number out to an even hundred. All including the biggest of these expansions arrive in a small package, but even the smallest wants to add a whole mess of extra things to one of the busiest games I've played in recent memory.
Since adding the expansions presents almost as much difficulty as learning the base game itself, let's talk about all five, what they do, and whether they exacerbate or alleviate Fief's madness.
Love and Hate in the 15th Century
I'm a historical kind of guy. I like my women in hennins, the sleeves of my cote-hardie decorated most ostentatiously, and my games to reflect the harsh realities presented by merely getting dressed on any given morning in the 15th century.
With that in mind, Fief: France 1429 ought to be the greatest game I've ever played. Instead, I'm prepared to make two completely true statements:
1) I absolutely hate Fief.
2) I absolutely love Fief.

When Harvey tries to revisit past glories, the results feel awkward and out of place. "Who the Fuck?" sounds like an outtake from Rid of Me, with its Albini-like wall of electricity and heaving, sassy chorus, while "Cat on the Wall" whirls inside a shoe-gaze haze of ambient guitar effects. Ultimately, Uh Huh Her is about self-acceptance, an acknowledgment of Harvey's stylistic and musical limitations. That doesn't mean that she can't write good songs anymore; Uh Huh Her is as compelling an album as she has ever done, but it's miles away from the awe-inspiring mystery of To Bring You My Love. When she strips her records of artifice and conceptual pomp, all that's left is great music and not much else.

Hi! this is Mario, your host. I was born in Peru but grew up in Southeast Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal). Also lived in London and back in South America before moving to the States. I received a BFA in Dance and Theater from the University of Florida and danced professionally in the US and Canada for some years. Moved to NYC in 2008 and live in the Lower East Side just blocks from this property. I split my time between managing a yoga studio, dancing and choreographing and running FOOD FOR LIFE, a community organization that serves meals to the hungry and homeless of Lower Manhattan at Tompkins Square Park. I'm also a member of M.I.L.E (Music Is Love Exchange) a network of artists that help disadvantaged children and families in the highlands of Guatemala and a Regional Coordinator in Peru for ONE BILLION RISING, a global campaign to end violence against women and girls.

We were very pleased with our stay. It is in a convenient location to access the city. Wide options in neighborhood restaurants. Whole Foods within walking distance. Room was very clean and quiet. Complete kitchen gave us options for meals. The staff was very kind and helpful. Breakfast options limited. Would stay again!
Nice and huge studio for a very good price. The room was very clean and the customer service was charming and dedicated. Well situated in the middle of lower east side. The breakfast is good, very recommended for vegetarian people!

Sanctuary NYC é uma excelente opção para quem deseja ficar em Nova Iorque. O apartamento é ótimo, super bem equipado. Muito limpo e de bom gosto. Além da cama de casal, existe também a opção de uma cama adicional. O ambiente na recepção também é muito bom, aconchegante e muito acolhedor. O pessoal é muito prestativo e receptivo. Definitivamente voltarei a me hospedar com eles!
Great location if you want to see a lesser-seen part of New York City, lots of character in the neighborhood. The property is clean and filled with light and the staff could not have been nicer. We will return!
Great stay at Sanctuary (as usual). Second time in the hotel, and everything was perfect. It is a very good chance to stay in NYC at great prices, where you can cook your own food.
Only "downsize" would be the lack of cleaning services, so you have to make-up everything during your stay. But it isn't really a big deal.
Would stay there again without second thought!
The Lower East Side is the oldest neighborhood in New York City and presently one of the most fashionable in Manhattan. Once the home for working-class European immigrants, the LES has become one of the trendiest areas in the city full of cool boutique hotels, bars, restaurants, yoga studios, fashion stores, health food stores, art galleries and live music venues. Iconic artists like Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro, Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen used to live on our street and countless movies and TV shows are filmed around throughout the year.
Just blocks away is the Delancey/Essex Subway Station and a quick train ride to Midtown (Union Square, Flatiron District, Empire State Building, Times Square and Central Park) or Brooklyn (Williamsburg, DUMBO). A few minutes walking and you can be anywhere Downtown: East Village, SoHo, West Village, Little Italy, Chinatown and East River Park.

IMGDC Keynote Overview
IMGDC Keynote by Josh Williams, CEO of GarageGames
GamersInfo.net updated their site last night with a look at the Keynote speech from this past weekend's IMGDC.
Many indies just decide to try to Âboot strap the funding of their game. This Âdo-it-yourself in your spare time has worked for a few, but is probably the most difficult to make a game on. The developer takes on debt, uses life savings, inheritance, or whatever they can find, to buy what they have to in order to get their game made

Style can take you places. Style is not about a look or a fashion, it's about how you carry yourself in the world. It is your personality showcased where people can see it, feel it, enjoy it, understand it. My style took me around the beautiful New York City and the exquisite Red Rock Canyon in Nevada. I hiked along the big boulders and squinted in the sun. I took photos, danced, and froze my booty off on the High Line. Where does your style take you?

1995 Buick Century Custom Review
quick and efficient
body roll and crappy seats
Fastest 30mpg + Car You Can Buy — I bought this car a year ago from a family that estate sold everything their grandmother had. This item only had 48k on it. Man, this little buick will scoot. it gets great mpg and will do what the speedo says. I also own a new ford taurus. This buick will run circle around it. The only drawback is the cheap suspension.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

My Bucik — Awsome, Complete Awsome, the seats are comfortable and well it has good handling but the way it drives is awsome but seriously it has no trunk space. this is a fun car to drive and to ride in. trust me i suggest it

1995 Buick Century Limited Review
It is no longer mine.
kind of old, interior stains, broken plastic over speedometer, isn't sporteo.
My Old Car. — My mom bought the car. She was very sensible and I think she was influenced by male family members. Nonetheless it was a $25,000 car back in '95. It has over 200,000 miles on it and I've put a Garmin device in it as well as an Ipod player. It needed a new transmission not long ago and I hope the rest of it continues to hold up. It has lots of pine sap marks on it. We have not found a way to remove the pine sap. It doesn't really matter because I ran it hot about a year ago and burnt the rings. I don't have the car anymore. I sold it to my mechanic for $200.

Finding the perfect Christmas gift is always tricky, but in this case, small and sweet is the perf way to go. Sometimes it's hard to find the right gift in stores, so why not make something?
Don't be afraid to let your creativity shine. Since he's your BGF, you two must have loads of cute inside jokes. You can start by making him a personalized card. Construction paper and markers aren't just for kids, you know! Fill your card with memories and fun times you've shared, and you can even glue in pictures or notes or mementos from activities you've done together.
Turn your card into a small-scale scrapbook if you want, but remember to keep it fun. A "novel card" (a card that has so many pages it looks more like a book) is sweet, but ya don't want to go too overboard in case he doesn't reciprocate. You wouldn't want him to feel bad if you got him something big and he ends up getting you something small or nothing at all.
If you're proud of your personalized "scrapbook card," there's no reason to feel like you have to buy him something on top of that, but if the card idea isn't working out or you're not too artistic, then buy him something funny or low-key.

The new feed showcases only Product Pins, or Rich Pins with information about pricing and availability, and includes everything from books to clothing to decorations.
Pinterest has created a Gifts feed to showcase the items on the network that are for sale, the visual discovery tool revealed on its official Pinterest business blog.
The Gifts feed, which the post describes as a "work-in-progress feed," displays only Product Pins, which are Rich Pins that include additional details like real-time pricing, availability, and where they can be purchased. With Product Pins, pinners also receive email notifications when pins they've added drop in price.
Product Pins help pinners "decide which products are right for them," the post says.
Other Rich Pins include Place Pins, Article Pins, Recipe Pins, and Movie Pins. Pinterest advises that users with products they want to include in the Gifts feed should get Rich Pins by visiting its developers site.
The Gifts feed also includes price filters designated by dollar signs "so you can find something for every budget," Pinterest says.
According to the post, $$$$ represents products that cost more than $200, $$$ shows products between $50 and $200, $$ is for products from $25 to $50, and $ "is anything less than that."
Products in the Gifts feed include such diverse items as the Calita Dress from Tory Burch, a Grapevine Wreath with Monogram from Etsy, and The Fault in Our Stars from Barnes and Noble.
"So far, we've learned that Product Pins get higher click-through rates than regular Pins and make your brand more visible because of the logo on the Pin," the post says.
Product Pins also include tabs that pinners can click to see the products on the e-commerce sites where they can be purchased.
Pinterest says it launched the Gifts feed because "we know people love to use Pinterest for shopping ideas."
The Gifts feed lives within Pinterest's regular categories.

Berries - Will they grow in Clay Soil? Greenville area.
Okay, I admit it, I probably leaped before I looked. I bought some berry plants at Sams when I was up to close on our new (old) home last month without even knowing if they will grow in a yard with clay soil, where to plant, how to plant, etc etc.
Can anyone give me some advice? I'm leaving to go back tomorrow, plants are taking the road trip too, at least 7 ouy of 8 of them are, one was a dud, I don't think there was a plant in there to begin with. There's some blueberries (5) and a raspberry and I think a blackberry.
Can they be put in pots? If so, any good recommendations on where to get some cheap pots in Greenville area?
Yes, berries can grow in pots, but they will have to be pretty big. You can use those plastic tubs or storage containers after you drill drainage holes. Blackberries and raspberries won't have problems with clay, but the blues would benefit from adding some light stuff before you plant, and plant high, like torajima suggests.
compost compost compost! Homemade, landfill made or store bought. Some vole block/permatill wouldn't hurt, either. Amending the soil is mixing the compost & permatill into it. Start by searching the forums here and reading up- you'll learn a lot.
Thanks for the reply.
Was at Ace yesterday and bought some potting mix, some garden helper, mushroom compost and few other things they had on sale - now I'll figure out how to use them, and wehn. Maybe Sunday I'll make an attempt to plant the berries, but first, I have to tackle the weeds. That's a whole other post!!!!

The Girl You Left Behind (edition 2012)
by Jojo Moyes
Work details
The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes
Suggestions (2)
Architecture in fiction (144)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
She reminded me that the world is capable of beauty, and that there were once things-art, joy, love-that filled my world, instead of fear and nettle soup and curfews.
This book was really right up my alley. I've read many books that follow a woman from the past and a woman from the present that I have enjoyed. This book follows that same pattern and I really enjoyed it. I haven't read much WWI historical fiction so while this book was similar to books that I have previously read it also was something new to me.
I was interested in both Sophie and Liv's stories. Sometimes I find myself more interested in the woman from the past but that was not the case with this book. Both women experience heartbreak and go through changes because of their heartbreak. I, like Liv, was dying to know what happened to Sophie. I loved that while the women were quite different they were also very similar.
I loved what happened in the end. I was a bit wary towards the end because it looked like it was going towards a situation that I knew I wouldn't like. I really look forward to reading more from Jojo Moyes.
This is a story about life under german occupationin a smallvilaage in France and a current legal case concerning art restitution. Both stories are about relationships, courage, and the love fro someone you have lost. Another great JoJo Moyes novel!
I enjoyed this book a lot. It follows parallel lives of Sophie, in 1917 and modern day Liv. liv acquires a painting on her honeymoon called "The Girl You left behind". The subject of this painting is Sophie. So we follow Sophie's life married to an artist Edouard Lefevre who goes to war and she is left to run the bar which gets occupied by Germans during WWI. Meanwhile Liv is a widow lost in grief until she meets Paul. As it turns out Paul works for a firm that retrieves stolen art. He works for the Lefevre family and the obvious happens. However, the novel still has interest as the whole idea of stolen or lost art is very interesting.
Both past and jpresent stories are very strong and the characters rich. very good
After reading Me Before You, I had the strong desire to read another of Ms. Moyes's novels. Although The Girl You Left Behind is a completely different genre than Me Before You, I enjoyed it even more than MBY. My favorite genre of books is Historical Fiction and the story within the novel gave me a look into War World I through the eyes of a wife of a painter who is off fighting for France.
Sophia, the artist wife, is the subject of the painting of The Girl You Left Behind and this reader felt her pain and the emotional pain of the present owner in the 21st Century in this tragic story of love. The story is endearing and will stay in my memory for a long time.
An interesting mix of life under German occupation in a small village in France and a current legal case concerning art restitution. Both stories are also about relationships, courage and the love for someone you have lost. I found the book to really pick up in the second half.
