"We ordered these in watermelon with the white pearl shimmer cardstock. Absolutely beautiful, already received tons of compliments! If you're doing a vintage/ shabby chic theme, these are perfect! The quality is fantastic! We also ordered the platinum silver shimmer euro flap envelopes & the matching envelope liners. Very easy to put together and a very nice compliment to the invitations. The only issue we've had is with printing addresses on the envelopes, the ink doesn't want to dry. However, you can buy a fixative at a craft store to spray on it and that solves the problem. All in all, very impressed with the invitations and would definitely recommend them!"
"I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with these invites that I wanted to share my thoughts. The customer service was exceptional, the turn around rate for edits was fast and they arrived promptly. I had looked through hundreds of invites and searched several sites, but kept coming back to Wedding Paper Divas. Their prices were competitive and the invites are of strong beautiful quality. We needed clear wording with a delicate touch and these invites came through! I'm looking forward to mailing these out soon!!"
"We adore our wedding invitations and every part of the suite looks amazing together. We opted to make the text black and to have a black layer behind the invitation. Note: if you do this, you have to assemble the layers yourself. ASLO - IMPORTANT: We ordered a stamp from WPD to custom stamp our address on the back of the invitation. However, we ordered the pearlescent/shimmery envelope and the ink does NOT sink in. We even let them sit out overnight. At this point, there is nothing that we can do but pray that they get to our guests without too much smudging, but I really wish that we had known this before!!"
"This is an elegant and understated invite. We paired this invite with a real peacock feather and chose the pearl shimmer paper. Couldn't be happier."
"I couldn't have asked for anything better. I was a little worried when I read some of the other reviews (before making my order). However, I was very happy with my experience: the order arrived two weeks earlier than anticipated, the colours/quality is perfect and the envelopes are nice as well (even though I picked the simple white ones). I would highly suggest to go with the satin finish, it is only slightlly more expensive but gives a very nice effect! I picked the watermelon colour."

This has been a busy week for online streaming video. It seems like every company out there is releasing new hardware, software and content at the same time.
Don't forget that I have my own streaming online show that Kim's Club members can watch weekly. Click here to learn more.
In case you missed it: Amazon came out with FireTV to compete with Roku, Apple TV and Chromecast - click here to see how they compare. Plus it released plans for several new exclusive pilots and shows.
Google announced a new streamlined Android TV software in an attempt to salvage its failed Google TV initiative from a few years ago.
Next thing you know, Microsoft announced two exclusive new shows for its Xbox TV channel and is planning as many as 18 more.
Then Yahoo got into the act, announcing an order of four Web series.
On the other hand, HBO fumbled the much-anticipated "Game of Thrones" season premiere when its streaming service HBO Go had serious hiccups for online users.
The bottom line is that it's never been a better time for TV and movie consumers, but it isn't anywhere near as good as it could be.

When I got my ingedients for my second batch it was during that wicked heat wave. I got the liquid yeast with a couple of ice packs. Of course it was so hot that I'm sure the ice packs didn't make much of a difference and when the yeast arrived it was quite hot so I put it in the fridge immediately.
A week later I take it out and give it a really good shake about 2 hours before my second brew. When I opened it up to pitch it I could hear it fizzing in the container and it sounded quite lively.
After 24 hours of no fermentation I'm definately not panicing, but there's a little voice in the back of my mind saying, "It WAS extremely hot, it COULD be dead"
Is there a way to tell if yeast is dead? I'm sure dead yeast would fizzle like that. I just want to make sure.
Up Next: ?
Primary: Jerry Porter (1.055 OG)
Secondary: none
Bottled/Conditioning: Savage Pale Ale (SPA)
For next time, try to take the yeast out 3 - 6 hours before you brew (closer to 6 and some put it out for 24 hours). You want the yeast as close to room temp. as possible.
I'd wait 48 - 72 hours before you think about pitching again. My first brew took 72 hours before it started.
Next time look into making a Yeast Starter next time. If you do a search, you can find quite a few threads that will tell you how.
definitely do a starter if you're at all unsure about the viability of your yeast.... even if you're not so unsure, it's still a really good idea to make a starter.
here's a good thread with info on starters...http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=2270
whoa....time warp...
The only way to be certain is the proof it by making a starter. Fizz in the tube can be leftovers and not an indication of live yeast. If you lost 99% of the yeast it will take an extra day for the ferment to start. In theory, one cell is all it takes; but it will take a long time.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Looks like the yeast was fine afterall. It took 3 1/2 days, but it's fermenting away right now.

Pumped up: Cards' bullpen closes door on slumping Braves
MAY 05, 2014 11:13p ET
From the way the TV cameras caught Yadier Molina pumping his fists, the Cardinals seemed more excited than might be expected after their 4-3 victory over the Braves on Monday night.
Perhaps that's what happens after you win back-to-back games for the first time in nearly three weeks. Perhaps that's what happens when you win consecutive one-run games for the first time this season. Perhaps that's what happens when a player who hasn't contributed much this season -- Peter Bourjos in this case -- plays a key role.
Or perhaps the Cardinals were just glad to be playing in 80-degree temperatures after freezing all weekend at Wrigley Field.
Whatever the reason, with everyone on the roster beginning to make contributions, the Cardinals might be ready to go on the kind of roll for which Mike Matheny has been waiting. They have already caught a break going into Tuesday night when they will face Gavin Floyd in his season debut rather than Ervin Santana, who is 3-0 with a 2.41 ERA. The Braves are passing over Santana because of a bruised thumb.
-- Bullpen. Four relievers covered four innings and while they were short of dominant, they kept the lead. Pat Neshek and Carlos Martinez retired all three batters they faced, in the sixth and eighth, respectively. Kevin Siegrist was touched up for a homer and double in the seventh, while Trevor Rosenthal gave up a single and a walk but struck out Justin Upton -- on a 98-mph fastball -- to secure his ninth save in nine chances.
-- Bourjos. He didn't hit the ball that hard but, when you're in an 0-for-19 rut, you'll take hits anyway you can. Bourjos got his first on an excuse-me swing that resulted in a soft liner up the middle and went for a single. An inning later, he managed to ground a two-seamer from Aaron Harang through the right side of the infield for an RBI single. Bourjos, in the lineup because he had been 4 for 10 against Harang, also showed off his speed on a running catch in center field. It would have been nice to see him try to steal when he had what appeared to be an ideal opportunity, but he played it safe and ended up scoring anyway.
-- Jhonny Peralta. The hits are starting to pile up. In his past 10 games, Peralta has gone 15 for 39 and his batting average has climbed to a season-high .232 from .151. He has had two hits in six of the games and been held hitless only once.
-- Shelby Miller's efficiency. He picked up his fourth win, lowered his ERA to 3.20 and showed plenty of resolve escaping difficult situations. But once again, he did not go as deep into the game as he and the Cardinals expect. Miller did not allow a run in the first five innings even though he allowed the leadoff hitter to reach in four of them. In the sixth, he wasn't so fortunate. After he allowed the first three Braves to get on base, he was removed from the game after 86 pitches and would up being charged with two runs. On the plus side, Miller walked a season-low two.
-- Middle of the order. The 3, 4 and 5 hitters -- Matt Holliday, Matt Adams and Allen Craig -- batted 12 times and did not hit the ball out of the infield. Holliday and Craig both had infield hits, however, with Holliday's driving in the Cardinals' third run. Adams struck out three times, all on breaking pitches against a right-hander. Craig, who seemed to have found a groove on last week's homestand, is 2 for 16 on the trip with no walks.
-- Harang vs. Cardinals. Even though six of his seven starts qualify as quality, including this one, anyone who remembers Harang's years with the Reds should not have been surprised that he didn't beat the Cardinals. He came into his 26th start against St. Louis with a 7-13 record, 4.37 ERA and 21 homers allowed in 154 1/3 innings.

Prison religion: Insincere faith behind bars
Re: "How fringe faiths found their way into prisons," Feb. 15 Perspective article.
Daniel Genis does a good job of exposing how mainstream (and non-) religions "depend on the vulnerable to grow their numbers," but he touches only briefly on how the incarcerated abuse their religious freedom.
By his own admission, Genis did not "choose" a religion or faith because of a religious conviction, philosophical belief or moral value; rather, for his own self-centered desire to be among "educated thinkers" with whom he could relate.
I have been incarcerated since 2010, and more often than not, I've seen offenders use religion and the resulting opportunities for their own benefit and to manipulate the system. I have yet to see an individual on a kosher diet who's actually a practicing Jew (kosher meals are of better quality than regular prison meals); I consistently see prisoners using their new-found faiths for sentence re-considerations and appeals; and rarely do I observe a prisoner behaving in a manner appropriate to their religion or faith when it demands personal sacrifice or offers no personal gain or incentives.
There may be fringe faiths in prisons, but from what I have observed, the majority of offenders who may embrace a religion will abuse it and are not sincere.

AMERICA/BRAZIL - The invitation of the PMS: The mission must rely on the dynamism and generosity of the youth
Brasilia (Agenzia Fides) - "Youth in Mission" is the theme of the 2013 missionary campaign that the Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) of Brazil submitted to the national press along with a rich program of initiatives for the celebration of the missionary month of October.
As every year, the campaign aims to draw the attention of Christians with regards to their commitment to the universal mission of the Church. "The mission must rely on the dynamism and generosity of youth", says Father Marcelo Gualberto, National Secretary of the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith, in a statement sent to Fides Agency, which launched a call for greater involvement of young people in the mission throughout Brazil.
The Campaign of the missionary month this year sees a number of digital proposals on the web, such as several videos prepared by the staff of the national PMS in Brazil that have been proposed also on social networks. All the subsidies have already been sent to the 276 dioceses and prelatures of Brazil, and it is not just posters, printed publications and leaflets with the prayers of the faithful, but also DVDs with testimonies. The material can be downloaded from the portal of the PMS. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 05/10/2013)

Looking to repeat its success with landing the Corners development, town officials want to establish a vision for the land north of the Corners that they hope will attract like-minded developers.
"Developers often seek out that kind of vision to get their thoughts rolling," said Town Planning and Zoning Administrator Gary Lake.
For an initial cost estimate of $13,300, the town plans to contract with Vierbicher, which previously helped envision the Corners area, to research development possibilities that could include offices, housing, retail or other uses.
Lake said the goal is to "conceptualize the highest and best use" for the northeast corner of Barker and Bluemound roads as if it were a "blank canvas."
"Because of the value that the Corners will create, a whole new paradigm exists across the street because the land values from the Corners are extraordinary, and that changes more than we can imagine," Lake said.
One development option is already on the table. Mark Wimmer, president of Wimmer Communities, has proposed apartments and retail space for the northeast corner of Bluemound and Barker roads along Poplar Creek.
Wimmer said he would not be asking for any public funding for the project. Because the land is under the same tax-increment district as the Corners project, any development there would help the town pay off its contribution to the Corners.
Town officials have expressed concern that Wimmer's development would only address part of the corner, leaving the rest to develop piecemeal. Wimmer said the other property owners on the corner were not currently looking to sell, leaving his project as the next-best thing and laying a foundation for future redevelopment.
But Lake said the Corners property also originally had multiple owners, and he thought a larger development couldn't be ruled out.
"Developers will make the effort to assemble whatever they need if they see that the community has a common vision," Lake said.
Lake brought Vierbicher's proposal to the town Plan Commission last Wednesday for feedback. The proposal included a focus on office use, which commissioners asked to expand to other uses. A final contract will have to be approved by the Town Board.

I am sorry to hear about the troubles and inconvenience you had with one of the hotels booked on our website. Thank you for letting us know what happened.
All hotels advertised on our website has their own system which is connected to our website and this is where they put all information about their property, rooms, and other facilities. I will be more than glad to further help you. If you could please provide me your booking reference number so I can check.
Once again I would like to extend my sincere apologies. I hope that this will not detract too much in using our service again.
Kind regards,

Hello, I'm sorry to hear this but it does sound like your friend booked a "non-refundable on cancellation" room (these are labelled as such before booking). If your friend gets in contact with us, we can try and ask the hotel to refund them. However this is up to the hotel's discretion, we'd be okay with the refund as long as the hotel is fine with it.

Thank you for your feedback and please accept my apologies for the impression caused by your experience. If a customer finds a like for like booking cheaper elsewhere we do run a Price Promise scheme (full information on our website) but the details do have to be identical.
Kind regards,
Written on: 31/10/2014
went through all this at the time! all sorts of excuses! for example
you can cancel with us you cannot cancel if you book same room through the hotel! whats that all about? what a nonsense! all for £12?
the reason I was fighting my corner was ( I book for four of us, I like to think I have done my best re price and quality, also two are OAP's .
Therefore if Laterooms reputation is not worth £12 ? what can I say?
Written on: 05/11/2014
The reason for the price difference is the hotel were offering a Non refundable room for £12.00 cheaper to the flexible booking you had made on our site, prices will often differ as to the terms and conditions on the room. Because you can cancel the room on our site as I mentioned it is flexible this is why there is an increase in price. The hotel are also in control of the prices advertised on our site, as we were unable to assist with the price promise we would suggest you contact the hotel to see if they are willing to offer the same rate they are advertising. (Paul)
Written on: 06/11/2014
I know what the reason was ie the option of a refund but, I want the best price! you give the impression that is what you get with Late rooms, this is not the case, Now I have an insight as to what goes on ie the hotel is in control, I will book direct in the future! you are still saying £12 is too much to refund it is all a nonsense! BBC Watch Dog could do a slot on this as they have on booking holidays!
Written on: 07/11/2014
As we do not take any form of payment we would not be responsible to refund for a booking that is priced by the hotel, we have given you clear information on how to obtain the best rate available for your stay. We have also advised that the prices are put in place by the property and we have no control over this. Our company displays competitive rates as it is generally seen to be cheaper to book online through comparison sites than it is to book direct, as the hotel have supplied a cheaper rate for a different room type this is still the case as the terms and conditions will determine the price of the room.

Needing to have the last word on this subject, I am pleased to have an in sight as to the procedures re late rooms and obviously other booking agents such as you. That is obviously what you are just booking agents. So I will not need an agent in the future I will go direct to the source. The £12 must be going to pay your wages. I have to watch my pennies. Always looking for the best deal and do not appreciate it when I am feeling fleeced.

Your booking was on the payment on arrival rate and the hotel doesn't make any claims on our site they had any disabled access. I apologise that the hotel did not put any notification on our site or theirs regarding their refurbishment. I've been in contact with the hotel and they will be adding a notification to our site shortly.
Best regards,

If it was a failure in the lateRooms procedure then we would accept responsibility, as the responsibility clearly lies with the property for this incident then it would be up to the hotel to rectify the problem which we have been in contact to make sure this is brought into place. We have in this situation assisted in making sure that the hotel updates their policies and description for future bookers to eliminate this issue happening again. (Paul)

Singularly the worst booking experience of my life. I guess that the idea of sending me a £10 voucher was to make me feel good about the brand but I am afraid that is not what has happened.

We are sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience whilst making a Gift Voucher booking, sadly the procedure we have to follow to confirm the reservation via the voucher offer is a rather long winded one as there a many steps to follow. We again apologise for the inconvenience this has caused. ( Paul )
Written on: 03/10/2014
That's all very well but I don't see why you can't simply have a Voucher Redemption box in the online checkout? I had already got to the checkout point online (in less than a minute) and the room was clearly available. So I don't understand why I had to abort the online booking and spend 20 minutes on the phone at my expense talking to someone who claimed they could not here me to get confirmation of something I already knew. Indeed why couldn't your agent confirm the availability in less than a minute online? It is a Laterooms.com offer, not a hotel offer, so surely you can take responsibility for making sure your customers have a pleasant time taking advantage of your generosity rather than making them miserable? Sounds like you need some more joined up thinking between sales, marketing, IT and operations? (JK)
Written on: 06/10/2014
As explained in my previous email this is the procedure we have to follow for the time being even though as mentioned it is a long winded and complicated process. The process is necessary as the payment is made by ourselves for the additional £10 to the booking which means we have to supply our own card details whist the booking is made, this meaning there is no possible way of a voucher booking being able to be completed online. Again we are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for sending through your comments and please accept my apologies for this overbooking situation and the worry and inconvenience it has caused.
When a customer makes a reservation on our site this is against availability loaded by the property itself and it is their duty to ensure that this is maintained and up to date. I sincerely apologise for whatever lack of internal communication prevented this hotel from closing out their allocation, leading to this overbooking. I was, however, pleased to hear that they assisted you in finding an alternate place to stay. Please rest assured that we booked this in good faith on the allocation provided by the hotel and we had no indication that there was an issue.
Once again, please accept my apologies for this booking issue but I hope that this response has shown how we do take on board concerns when they are raised and strive to assist here at LateRooms.com.

I booked accommodation through LateRooms and due to unforeseen circumstances had to cancel and according to their site they charge no booking fee or cancellation fee.

Thanks for leaving your feedback about your recent booking. I was sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with this reservation. Bookings made through our site have different cancellation policies, as determined by the hotel in question, and it could be that you booked an advance purchase rate booking which are non refundable in the case of cancellation.
If you wish to reply to this message and provide your booking reference number I will gladly look into this for you.

Yes! Absolutely! "Worst Travel Booker". I hope everyone reads your story carefully. I second it... my cousin in England, who tried to deal with them on my behalf, will "third" it. In the last twelve or fourteen years I have made use of upwards of twenty travel bookers, and I have to say they have ALL been highly satisfactory -- peas in a pod, really -- except this one. Thety may OFFER you free cancellation (as they did to me), but just try to get them to follow through with it! The excuses for why you CAN'T cancel your booking are legion, and, the more you argue and demolish each new excuse, the more bizarre their reasons become. After weeks of saying that they never tried to cancel the booking because their security requirements for the cancellation weren't fully met, they finally said that they HAD rung the hotel to cancel the booking, but that there was a "language problem" (the hotel is in Palermo, Sicily, not -- as you might have expected -- Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, or Addis Abbab, Ethiopia), and, finally, that the hotel had decided to enforce its own cancellation policy and overrule the booking form laterooms had provided, and so, narturally, this had nothing to do with them and that the customer would just have to forfeit the full amount. Their "helpful" suggestion was that I should just pass on the loss to my travel insurance company... laterooms wants nothing to do with any talk aboiut THEIR obligations. I've had weeks and weeks of emails and excuses from laterooms, and I will publish the full story (with direct quotes from their responses) when the last chapter has finally been written... but until then, take care. All those other travel sites -- booking.com, ratestogo, onhotels, easytobook, hotelTravel, alpharooms, etc etc -- all do their job efficiently and with the customer's interests high on their list of priorities. Stick with them and give laterooms a WIDE berth.

I will not be using Late Rooms again after being lured into a false sense of security regarding a cancelation policy for a hotel. The description before proceeding to booking states 'Cancellation is 48 hours prior to arrival or the total stay will be taken'. When I tried to cancel 96 hours prior to arrival, Late Rooms told me the policy was an advance credit card rate which was non refundable and non transferable.

Hi! I wrote to you some days ago, as a kind of "last ditch" help. I hope you can "resolve" the matter for me also., and in a more satisfactory way than your Customer Solutions people (they just sent an email saying that, as I hadn't replied fast enough to meet their requirements, they had marked the matter as RESOLVED... which, of course, seems to be laterooms -speak for "no refund".
Written on: 25/07/2014
There were no giggles when I contacted the Customer Solutions Department, but maybe that's because you can't laugh on email. Telephoning isn't so easy, because they don't always pick up the phone, and when you're ringing internationally, that's a real worry... precious hours tick by and your cancellation deadline is getting inexorably closer. With most of the booking sites, all it takes is to log on and press the "cancel this booking" button, but not laterooms.... their site announces that they need you to ring them (the telkephone number they give you has bno country code... they don't want to make it easy for you!) and quote your booking number. When you (finally) manage to do this, you find that this is not nearly enough for laterooms; there's a LONG list of questions to answer (none of these are mentioned on their booking form), to guard, they tell me, against "fraud against the booking". The thought of a gang of international fraudsters hacking into passwords and/or booking numbers, and maniacally cancelling people's hotel bookings all over the world was enough to make ME giggle, but laterooms, it seems, is desperately worried about this. So the qquestions go on and on until there's one you can't answer, and then they say, "Well, in that case, the booking can't be cancelled". Even when you finally DO ring them back with the detail they required, that doesn't mean they will cancel... their commission means too much to them for that! Now comes the delaying, obstructing, and confusing tactics, where they tell you one thing and then deny it, blame you and then blame the hotel (some hotels around the world, they seem aghast to find, don't even speak English!), but the bottom line is always the same: there won't be any refund, regardless of what they offered on the booking form. They'd rather you took it up with your travel insurance company.... then their commission is safe. Laterooms is the only booking site I've ever used that I would never use again, and am warning people off. Have nothing to do with them.

Larger ground pvp maps
Is it possible to have larger ground pvp maps? The kind of foot print big dig has for exmaple.
At the moment they feel like the size of quake2 deathmatch maps.
Also being able to have say 20 side would be a bonus too. Instead of single people running around we would have groups that can go for different objectives and have several small skirmishs at any given time rather then the run at each and fight in the spot over and over again that keeps it so limited
Good luck getting any sort of PvP content ;)
But seriously, we haven't gotten anything (other than Shanty Town) since launch. I wouldn't get your hopes up. But the Devs have stated that they're looking to convert old FE maps into "Daily PvE missions, Fleet Actions, or PvP maps", so there is a 1/3 chance that one day, we might have a shot at a new map.
Actually, I'd like to see smaller maps, that are more reminiscent of a boxing ring. Sort of like the arena in the mission Coliseum when you battle the sarlacc with a lirpa.
There is already a large PVP map, called Otha, the ground warzone. However it is bugged at VA level so you can't get into an instance to fight the other faction. It would be cool if Otha could be queued in 5v5 teams.
Here's some footage of some fun pvp inside the warp core of assimilated cruiser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XE07rc7WtI
Whoa, big dig is massive!!
Hopefully when we have Open Ground PvP as part of the Territoral PvP thats "on the drawing board", I would seriously love maps like the Nopada Desert where it's so huge you can hide anywhere.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
All-around Mage build?
I'm not a regular on this board and I gotta say I'm really surprised with the replies. Very detailed and informative, I highly appreciate it, guys.
XBL GT: BorgyWorgy
I approve of this topic.
Pure Mage is my go to build. Since most everything has been addressed I would like to mention Necromancy. Firstly, it doesn't suffer the atronach glitch which can be infuriating, if not fatal. Dual cast and with the (non-vampire) necromage perk, your reanimates have a duration of six minutes, that's almost an eternity. Weapons including staves clan be placed on a corpse before raising and there is a perk that increases health.
Range is limited as with atronach summons, but raise dead staves have unlimited range as well as the benefit of not turning your reanimates to ash when the duration ceases. The downside to staves is that they don't seem to benefit from all your conjuration perks especially dual casting. The highest base level of a raised enemy is level 40, increased with necromage/necrovamp.
Thralls are a whole different level of Necromancy, and a way of life. There is a very good guide in the faqs section of this site, though it could use a bit of an update. They require more attention than followers and a slower paced play style, but when you're an all powerful master of the dead, you don't need to hurry for anyone.
Illusion goes well with necromancy. Frenzy a group from magical stealth, and raise them as they fall.
just one other thing about magical defences. the wards spells actually also add armor on par with that you can get from alteration (not sure if they are affected by the mage armor perks), so if you find yourself in a situation where you need more defence in a hurry, keep in mind that wards add physical defences as well. and the defence from flesh spells and the defence from wards stack as far as i can tell. i really almost never get hit so defence is sorta a moot point for me,
also paralysis is easy to overlook but can be extremely handy, especially the aoe version. just beware it doesn't work on everything.
oh and since no one has mentioned it yet, there are more useful things in alchemy then the obvious spell school boosters. there are also poisons that create (or increase) a weakness to a given element like fire or frost or shock or magic or poison etc. so what you can do if you want is poison dangerous enemies with these and THEN blast them to bits. useful against really strong enemies with high resistances or just for the hell of it. you can actually stack these as well. for example you can hit them with weakness to poison than weakness to magic then weakness to whatever element (optimally whatever they are already weak to). and so on. that sort of thing can lead to some huge damage numbers, both from you and (theoretically) other magic using allies in the group. like mage followers. and atronachs. and mistmen(?).
everytime i think i've seen it all...
someone does something stupider
i agree with hoonding elsewhere fondues are arguably the best food item for any magic user. and of course having high magicka regen gear will increase the effect. also worth mentioning is the ring of the erudite which has both a LARGE magicka bonus and a very good magicka regen boost.
everytime i think i've seen it all...
someone does something stupider
Oh and especially early on, use scrolls if you need to! I used to just sell them all but recently I've started using them when facing bosses etc, very handy. Free Master level spells at level 10? Yes please!

Tubular mascara
Have you tried this? It goas on like traditional mascara, but is supposed to coat each lash in a little tube. Then the whole tube comes off when you wash your face. Or, you can pull them right off with a finger.
Can anybody tell me your experience with it?
I haven't actually seen that commercial. I saw the mascara in Beauty First (a retail store), but I didn't sample it because of the hygiene thing. The young clerk said she liked it, but she wasn't wearing it so I didn't get to see how it looked.
Does the commercial show removal?
Lots of reviews of this style mascara with Google. It is expensive. Some say it is difficult to remove. Some say there is a learning curve to using it. I have been wanting to try it. It is suppose to come off with warm water and does not need any extra, expensive, special "mascara remover". Supposedly it will not come off in COLD water when swimming, only warm water. That is a plus for me.
I've tried shopping for it and get blank looks when asking for "tube mascara". They just think I want mascara that comes in a tube instead of cake form like mascara did in the old days. They must not train any of these sales people. I used to have the same problem trying to shop for colorless mascara and still get clueless sales people occasionally.
I think I have what you are looking for. It's Loreal Double Extend. It has "beauty tubes technology". It has a white primer on one end, and the mascara on the other.
It works good, although I think it can be improved. It's a little gloppier than I am used to, and need to use an eyelash comb because my lashes are close together, or I am applying it wrong. The little tubes do come off in water, and look funny at first. They do lengthen and thicken quite a lot though. I give it a B.
The idea has me intrigued. I checked out a couple of brands and chose Blinc - Kiss Me Mascara. I bought a couple of small tubes yesterday on ebay. I can't wait to try them. I'll let you know how I feel about the product if you're interested.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mascara
Too Faced Lash Injection supposedly does the tube thing- it's by far my favorite mascara. It doesn't clump- either leaving clumps or sticking lashes together, and it really lengthens.
I tried the Costco/Kirkland Borghese as I was out of the Too Faced and didn't want to go to Sephora or wait for it (and I had a coupon). I do not like the brush at all- the center has about a third as many bristles as it seems like it should, and seems to clump my eyelashes together, as well as leaving chunks of mascara too.
Weed, you should post that on the money saving ideas forum.
I normally use Maybelline Full and Soft, and I like the look for every day. I was hoping the tubes would be more dramatic - like a false eyelash look - to use when I want to be more fake looking. It sounds like some of the tubes do not thicken/lengthen much more than my Maybelline product, but some do...
My other concern was that pulling off the tubes (which I'm sure I would end up doing at the end of the day) would also pull out my eyelashes. I can't afford to lose any of them. Anybody had the problem of eyelashes coming out along with the tubes?
Thanks everybody for all the info.
Wow! I used the Blinc mascara yesterday for the first time. The only problem I had using it is that if you curl your eyelashes (and I do) you have to do that before you put mascara on, which is the opposite of my normal routine. The only problem with that is that the lashes are closer to my lids then and I got a little bit of mascara on my lid. But a wet swab cleaned it up with no smearing. Sometime during the day I totally forgot that I was wearing the new mascara, so I forgot to check before I went to bed to see if the claim that it stays put with no smearing was accurate. And I'm a bad girl - I often go to bed with my makeup on, which I did last night.
I wash my face first thing every morning, even before I shower (helps wake me up). Well, after I washed (still not remembering I had used the Blinc) when I looked at the towel I saw a couple of black squigglies and I remembered the Blinc. So I washed my face again, lightly rubbing my fingers across my lashes. Like magic, the tubes all came off and there was no residual smudges you sometimes get with regular mascara.
Jamies, you don't "pull" on your lashes at all, so there is no worry about losing lashes.
I think I'm going to like this product.
No morning racoon eyes? I'm sold!
Donna, how did the length and thickness compare with other mascara you have used? Did you use a primer?
I often don't wash my face at night. I choose makeup that's close to cosmecuetical for that reason. I'm going to try Blinc when my current mascara runs out.

flooring options - help!
plumgalOctober 22, 2010
I need to replace an old tile floor - but just found out that any new flooring that results in a higher floor will impact all of the doors in my house (including the front door - a double steel door with glass inserts that I love) - the front door won't be able to be opened (unless there is something that can be done??) I have a 1/2 inch plywood subfloor with 1/4 inch tile over it (no backer board). I wanted hardwood - but that doesn't seem doable at this point...what are other options that would look good and not raise the floor to new heights!?@#$

The Caliph's House: A Year in Casablanca
Doubleday, 2006 - Dwellings - 356 pages
Look into the eyes of a jinn and you stare into the depths of your own soul (Moroccan proverb) Writer and film-maker Tahir Shah - in his 30s, married, with two small children - was beginning to wilt under brash, cramped, ennervating British city life. Flying in the face of friends' advice, he longed to fulfil his dream of finding somewhere far removed from London - a place bursting with life, colour, history and romance - in which to raise a family. Childhood memories of holidaying with his parents, and of a grandfather he barely knew, led him to Morocco and to Dar Khalifa, a sprawling, long-abandoned (but for its jinns) mansion on the edge of Casablanca's shanty town that, rumour had it, once belonged to the city's Caliph. And so begins Tahir Shah's gloriously vivid, affectionate and compelling account of how he and his family - aided, abetted and so often hindered by a wonderful cast of larger-than-life local characters: guardians, gardeners, builders, artisans, bureacrats and police (not to mention the original neighbours from hell and the jinns, those spirits that haunt the house) - returned the Caliph's House to its former glory and learned to make this most exotic and alluring of countries their home. THE CALIPH'S HOUSE is a story of home-ownership abroad - full of the attendant dramas, anxieties and frustrations - but it is also much more. Woven into the narrative is the author's own journey of self-discovery, of learning something of his grandfather, and of coming to love this magical, multi-faceted, contradictory country.
