Fashion e-tailer has leaned on the social site to dramatically increase customers.
Fab.com has doubled referrals from Facebook since going live with the social site's Open Graph platform in January, while also dramtically lifting members from 1.8 million to 3.2 million. Those metrics from the fashion deals site were released today in a blog post by Facebook developer Piyush Mangalick.
Open Graph has made it easier for people to share Fab.com products via their Facebook news feeds and, more recently, Timelines. Mangalick touted Fab.com for using action verbs, including "bought" and "faved," to bolster sharing.
He pointed out a pair of other tactics that retailers may be able learn from. Fab.com has pushed limited-time promotional credits on Facebook, incentivizing users to add favorites to their pages. The e-tail company has been able to increase Facebook impressions in the user news feeds and Timelines, leading to a big referrals increase.
Timeline Study: Cover Images And Pinning Matter Little
Meanwhile, an eye-tracking study by Simple Usability suggests that brands shouldn't obsess about their Facebook Timeline cover images. The research examined what elements numerous Facebook users were drawn to, distracted by, and engaged with. Timelines for American Express, Pizza Hut, Manchester United, Gap, Coldplay, and Coca-Cola were part of the study.
Simple Usability found that Facebook users paid little attention to the cover and profile images - despite some industry assertions that these are important branding tools. Users seemed to view the cover image as corporate messaging and ignore it, Simple Usability says. While they viewed the Timeline, they focused on the previous month, implying it's important to keep the page fresh.
On one level, Simple Usability's research contrasts a study recently released by Simply Measured, which said that the pinning posts feature was helping brands increase engagement rates on their Facebook Timelines. Simple Usability contends that users failed to notice pinned posts.

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Listen to the Story
Public school advocates say the state's Republican leaders are moving Ohio in the wrong direction when it comes to funding public education.
That's bringing protesters back to the Ohio Statehouse.
Ruth Ann Wolf of the Cincinnati area is a public school parent who says she's tired of a school funding formula that treats children differently because of their zip code. Wolf says the current funding formula relies too heavy on property taxes and puts schools in impossible situations.
"Every day we fact huge obstacles that cannot be fixed by baking brownies or selling wrapping paper.," Wolf says.
A former Democratic state lawmaker who worked on school funding issues when he was in the legislature says the state has taken a step backward when it comes to funding schools properly.
Steven Dyer with the progressive think tank Innovation Ohio says during the past couple of years, Republican state leaders have focused more on providing income tax breaks and helping charter schools than helping to fix an over reliance on property taxes.
Dyer says more districts are going back to homeowners more often now because public schools don't have enough money.
But he says public school advocates need to keep the heat on lawmakers over this issue.
"Even the guy in green eggs and ham was eventually won over by persistence," Dyer says.
Melissa Cropper with the Ohio Federation of Teachers says lawmakers need to fix the school funding system now, then stick with the plan.
"We cannot have a funding system that changes every time our politicians change."
Cropper and other public school advocates pushing for a new funding formula are taking their voices straight to lawmakers.
They marched on to Capitol Square Wednesday, carrying signs and chanting, hoping to make their voices heard.
But Republican Representative Lou Blessing says lawmakers had good reason to lower income taxes when this general assembly began.
"We need to keep business here and attract businesses here," Blessing says. "That's the whole focus of it. Once you get people, entrepreneurs and businesses here, those tax problems will be solved.
"You keep raising taxes like that and paying for public services and you are going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg so we have a fundamental disagreement with those folks that are protesting."
Blessing says schools will be getting some much-needed revenue soon from casinos.
Rob Nichols, a spokesman for Governor Kasich, says it was not the Governor's fault that some schools were forced to make big cuts.
"Many of these schools were living off stimulus spending and everyone warned schools that money was going away and not coming back," Nichols says.
"So for many of those schools that were paying salaries and operating on stimulus money, they knew as well as everyone else that that money was going away."
Nichols says Governor Kasich's school funding plan is still being crafted.
"They are criticizing a school funding plan that has not even been introduced yet," Nichols says.
But the public school funding activists say they don't like what they've seen from the Governor and lawmakers during the past year and a half.
And the advocates say they will keep the heat on to try to convince lawmakers to reduce reliance on property taxes and change the system so all schools have the funding they need.

Letter to the Editor: Republicans think with their wallets in mind
Republicans love to say "Democrats know how to tax and spend," as if it were a crime.
Of course we tax and spend, but it is public service to do so, not a crime. Democrats tax and spend monies on our roads, schools, public safety (police and fire) and social programs to protect those in society that need the help (the old and the young).

Chimney Rock Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Chimney Rock - California - United States - Napa Valley - Stags Leap District
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
One of the most commonly planted and cultivated white wine grape varietals in the world is the Sauvignon Blanc. This green skinned grape originated in southern France, where it is still grown today and produced into exceptionally high quality wines. However, it is also very much a varietal of the New World, and can be found almost anywhere with the correct climatic conditions for it to thrive in. Generally, Sauvignon Blanc grapes prefer cooler climates, and benefit best from an early harvest. Too much exposure to heat causes the juices inside the fruit to lose much of their character, and results in flat, uninteresting wines devoid of the grapes' usual bite and crispiness. In many countries, Sauvignon Blanc grape juices are aged in barrels, and are allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation, which transforms this dry and refreshing, zesty and fruity white wine into something far mellower, more buttery and refined.
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
California has long been recognized as a wonderfully rich and fertile location for viticulture, and hundreds of years now, vintners in the United States of America have used the valleys and mountain sides of California for gradually building their own wine culture, based on techniques and practices brought over from the old countries. When it comes to Californian wines of real quality and distinction, however, there is nowhere quite like the Napa Valley, which is now widely considered to be one of the world's premier wine regions, and very much the standard bearer for modern, American wines. With Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel varietal grapes all growing well in Napa Valley, the region produces an impressive range of wines, which have had an enormous impact on the Old and New Worlds, and have changed viticulture forever.

The Neanderthal with the world's oldest tumor
A benign bone tumor that afflicts modern-day humans has now been found in one of our ancestors: a Neanderthal more than 120,000 years old.The discovery of a fibrous dysplasia in a Neanderthal rib is the earliest known bone tumor on record, predating other tumors by more than 100,000 years. The rib, recovered from a site in Krapina, Croatia, indicates that Neanderthals were susceptible to the same types of tumors modern-day humans get, despite living in a remarkably different environment."They didn't have pesticides, but they probably were sleeping in caves with burning fires," says David Frayer, an anthropologist at the University of Kansas and the co-author of a new paper about the discovery. "They were probably inhaling a lot of smoke from the caves. So the air was not completely free of pollutants—but certainly, these Neanderthals weren't smoking cigarettes."...

A fragment of lower jaw recovered from a Serbian cave has now been dated as the oldest hominin ancestor found in this part of Europe. The fossil was dated to between 397,000 and 525,000 years old, a time when distinctly Neanderthal traits began to appear in Europe. The evolution of these traits was strongly influenced by periodic isolation of groups of individuals, caused by glacial episodes. According to research published in February 2012 in the open access journal PLoS ONE, the individual probably evolved under different conditions than populations who inhabited more western parts of the continent during the same time frame....

Can someone identify this vine & fruit?
Is it edible?
They're usually called choko in my part of the world.
I'd only eat them if I was pretty desperate. Ever tried a marrow (mature zucchini)? Chokos are like an even blander version of that. Not very tasty at all.
Productive though. The usual law applies that if it's really productive, it's generally not particularly good!
Animals will eat them, so will compost heaps.
In Australia, the rampant vines are usually used to grow over an especially ugly shed.
Pick small if you intend to use them raw. The plants come in male and female forms. There is a superstition in parts of Mexico that you must plant 3 plants to get fruit. The plants will reportedly climb telephone poles and wires.
Here is a link that might be useful: Chayote wiki
I've only once happened across the spiny one for sale at an Asian or Latin American grocery store.
Here is a link that might be useful: spiny mirliton
Um, guys, sorry, but I don't believe this is a Chayote at all.
The pod bears a superficial resemblance. The foliage is COMPLETELY wrong.
Chayote leaves are pretty typical of things in the squash/cucumber family, and actually look a LOT like cucumber or melon (Cucumis melo) foliage.
Here is a link that might be useful: Chayote Images online
I also don't think it is a Chayote. Looks like the fruit from some form of Asclepias or butterfly weed. Open up one of the fruits, if it mostly hollow inside with the seeds clustered together down the middle then it is what I am thinking, if there is only one seed in the middle and it isn't hollow then it is a chayote.
I'm with the naysayers; I have chayote on my farm and in two of my tropical gardens; and this is definitely NOT Chayote, or Guisquil, as we call it in Guatemala
Still kicking Brady, I did eat a piece the size of table grape when I thought it was a chayote, tasted bland and decided not to use it for anything.
Those are the leaves of the fruiting plant, you can put your hand on them and follow them to the fruit.
Here is a picture of one open. Multiple seeds so that confirms no chayote correct?
I'm very glad about that melikeeatplants.I was going to ask for more pics.The one end on a Chayote reminds me of an old lady's mouth who doesn't have any teeth.This doesn't appear to have that feature.It'd be interesting to find out what it really is.Oh well,Happy Thanksgiving.Brady
maybe Milkweed Vine, Morrenia odorata one of the Asclepius' which is why it has milky sap. I think the fruit you cut open isn't fully mature and eventually the seeds get little parasols like a dandelion seed. They blow away on the wind that way. Should not be edible as far as i know.
I believe trianglejohn has it right,Milkweed Vine.Here is a video.Brady
Here is a link that might be useful: Milkweed Vine
BradyBB, great video. Our teacher says the leaves are grey-green and slightly fuzzy, which doesn't seem exactly like those pictured. Wonder if it might be another milkweed relative, maybe one in this genus? The fruit of this species looks quite similar. See at the bottom of the page.
Here is a link that might be useful: Araujia sericifera
Yes, that Eat the Weeds guy is very informative and fun to watch.
It could be related to that carolync1,but it tells of the seeds being black but in melikeeatplants photo they look yellowish.
I never knew this many plants had similar appearing fruit.Brady
this is Araujia sericifera, called Mothplant or Cruel Plant in New Zealand.
I accidently ate it while pregnant and got very ill, I had a vicious rash all over my body and was sick. I do hope it didn't do anything to the baby. I saw it at the local grocer shop as Chayote (we call it Choko) but it was Mothplant. It grows heaps in my garden.
Do not eat, it's really awful. It looks like Chayote but Chayote is lighter green and heavier in weight and has a solid core. Be really careful, I felt sick for 3 days and thought it's the pregnancy, but it was this poisonous plant i had

November 8, 2013
It looks like Electronic Arts doesn't mind a little friendly competition, claiming Battlefield 4 is "the best FPS out there, period." It released an image with a ton of positive review scores from several notable outlets. Scores include a staggering 9.5/10 from Gametrailers, 8.75/10 from GameInformer and 8.5/10 from IGN, which is one of the leading gaming sites.
Naturally, this image cherry-picks favorable critiques to bolster its appeal. It leaves out less, but still decent, scores from other huge outlets like Gamespot, which gives it an 8/10. Some go even lower, like the 7/10 from Edge or 7.5/10 from Polygon, who recently has been known for a strict rating schedule.
Many critics address Battlefield 4's rocky singleplayer campaign's iffy state. This is a recurring event from Battlefield 3, when EA decided to implement an impactful singleplayer event in the multiplayer title.
Still, Battlefield 4 does offer some impressive multiplayer experiences. With its new destructible environment, its giant maps transform from reflecting buildings to gigantic piles of rubble. Some locations hold up to 64 players going to war, which makes for quite the hectic environment. With elevators and aircrafts, gameplay also takes multiple levels.
Multiplayer is where the action is in Battlefield 4, that's certain.
With the image, EA takes a jab at its competitor Call of Duty: Ghosts. Activision's prize pony received a few harsher judgments. The prime concern was that the series has become stagnant, despite additions like dynamic maps and underwater action.
From a purely technical standpoint, EA is right to say it has acquired better scores, since the Metacritic scores that pool all reviews together place Battlefield 4 higher than Call of Duty: Ghosts. Whether it follows this up commercially isn't certain yet, as Activision already boasted $1 billion in sales on its shooter's first day of release.
Daav has been playing games since Atari was a thing and still likes games that look old, but also new stuff. There's no allegiance to platforms or genres; anything big and small can make a good game. This gives him a ton of perspectives to write about.
I haven't even bought Battlefield 4 yet, never buying a AAA game on day one ever again. I will get it in the new year with premium.
Yeah, really tough crown to win when the only alternative is Call of Duty. Then again, why don't they shut up and get to making the game playable online? I don't even care for Sony (or EA, for that matter), but Killzone looks a lot better than Battlefield, in my opinion.
Oh, and the only reason Battlefield rates more-highly than Cod is because it's only on installment #2 of this franchise, really. If they were on the 10th game, their ratings would drop over sameness as well.
Actually BF franchise have more than 20 installments, not 2. The reason Battlefield is getting higher rates than cod is because people are realizing that IW and Activision are just getting more money by doing less work, they keep the copy and paste strategy (im not saying that i will blame them for that) but people are just tired of getting ripped off. Killzone may look a little better than Battlefield because it doesnt have half of the content that BF have, helicopters, jets, tanks, jeeps, boats, avs, jetskis, destruction, 64 players online, interactive maps, levolution etc etc. still they managed to make the best war fps experience out there, and it looks amazing.
Technically Battlefield 4 is the 3rd game on consoles, bad company does count. Unless you count Ghosts as a new franchise the Bad company would be included.

text: Pre-Trip Report Two days until we make our triumphant return to Disneyland! (The triumph? Making it a whole year since our last trip to Disneyland!) A bit about us: Were both adult women without children. DF is a HUGE Disney fan, member of D23, annual pass holder, etc... Her boyfriend has a rule that he will only travel to DL for her every four years, so several years ago, she asked me to go along with her. Ive never been fan of all things Disney, but she talked me into it with Halloween decorations, Star Wars, and Gay Days. We have a friend who volunteers for the Gay Days organization, and she made it sound like great fun and very welcoming, even if we werent, strictly speaking, gay. She was completely right. Its awesome. We love it. Weve been every year since. (Except that one fall when Harry Potter tempted us away to Universal Orlando instead, and we pined for Disneyland for the rest of the year.) Weve made customized t-shirts some years, the most famous of which reads, What happens in Anaheim on the front and Stays in Anaheim. on the back. This year were flying into SNA on Thursday morning and back to Portland on Sunday evening. Well be using DK Livery again, and planning for a grocery stop to pick up juice, veggies, adult beverages, and other snacks. We always stay at the Grand Californian, making use of the Gay Days rate. I bought my 4 day park hopper through them as well. We dont follow a touring plan, but we are planning a few things: On Thursday, we have Carthay Circle reservations for a late lunch. Im keeping my fingers crossed, because Im mostly vegetarian, and Ive heard mixed reviews of the way they handle it. Well also be getting WOC passes for that night. We were going to do the DCA Power Walk on Friday morning (and maybe Saturday) but learned that it only goes through DTD these days, and it starts at 7:30, which is a half hour after early entry. We agreed that we dont want to trade park time to walk through DTD. DF is training for the WDW Princess half marathon, so she really wanted to do it. Instead, shes going to spend some of our designated nap time on a treadmill at the gym. We also decided not to do Mickeys Halloween Party this year, and we dont want to deal with the crowds at DCA, so well be taking it easy Friday evening. There is a Gay Days cocktail mixer, and later theres a special screening of the season premiere of RuPauls Drag Race, with some of the previous contestants present. (I love that show!) If there are still tickets and a time that works for us, we might also go to see Frankenweenie. Saturday is mostly going to be spent doing Gay Days activities, taking time off for a late breakfast at Steakhouse 55. Later that night, we have reserved dessert seating for first showing of Fantasmic! Thats particularly exciting, because Ive never seen Fantasmic! (Yes, I know its amazing they still let me post here.) Well probably stay in our seats through the fireworks, then head off to Kingdom to dance the rest of the night away. Sunday well have half a day in the parks. Officially, the Gay Days crowd is supposed to shift over to DCA, but the reality is that most people bounce back and forth both days, and we will too. Thats our last chance to visit our favorite rides and soak in some of the magic. We usually head back to the Grand Californian at least an hour early to retrieve our luggage and chill out in the lobby before heading back to the airport. Trip details aside, what Im most excited about is that I secretly booked an in-room celebration to surprise DF! Shes a huge Nightmare Before Christmas fan, so I got the Jack Skellingtons Halloween Treat. It comes with a bunch of Haunted Mansion and NBC stuff, including a Jack plush, Halloween decorations, and lots and lots of candy. I actually customized it some, taking out most of the gummi candy (since I cant eat it anyway) and replacing it with Halloween popcorn. Theyre also adding a Scary Teddy plush, because counting the Scary Teddies in the NBC Haunted Mansion overlay has always been a tradition for us. (It actually took a couple phone calls to get that added, because the first time I asked, they said that they werent available in the park. Thankfully, I called back and they found them!) DF knows nothing about it. Her birthday was two weeks ago, and I told her that she was getting her present at DL, but didnt give her any other hints. I am excessively excited about this! She keeps talking about Fantasmic! and Cars Land and some of the Gay Days events, and all I can think is, I cant wait until she sees our room! Very, very excited!

Organizers against a mine proposal in northern Wisconsin are looking to maple syrup to provide an economic boost for the region.
The Lac Courte Oreilles Harvest Camp, also called the HELP Village has maintained a presence in the Penokee Range for almost two years.
Spokesperson Paul DeMain says maple syrup production is a more sustainable alternative to open pit mining.
"The tapping industry, not just maple but we're talking about potential yellow and white birch – we'd like to talk about revitalizing that industry."
The Lac Courte Oreilles Harvest Camp celebrated its one-year anniversary this weekend.
On Saturday, April 26th, a group of about thirty people gathered in Iron County to feast on pancakes and locally produced maple syrup they call "Penokee Gold."
Paula Mohan came from Madison for the event.
"I wanted to come for the pancakes and the Penokee Gold and all the other food and the fact that it is the one year anniversary," Mohan said. "I was last here in February and it's kind of nice to be here because it is not twenty below and there are no bugs yet."
A member of the Harvest Camp near the proposed Gogebic Taconite mine in Iron county says he went through the proper process to vote as a homeless person.
Thursday, State Senator Tom Tiffany filed a complaint with the Government Accountability Board and Attorney General, saying Nick Vander Puy allegedly improperly voted in the town of Anderson on April 1.
Vander Puy says the complaint is without merit....
Members of the Lac Court Oreilles Harvest Education and Learning Project plan to rotate in and out of the site to comply with Iron County rules.
Earlier this month the Iron County Board of Supervisors gave Harvest Camp residents six business days to leave, saying they were in violation of a 14-day camping limit.
Camp spokesperson Paul DeMain says the site will remain as it is, but longterm residents will follow the rules by leaving every two weeks for at least 24 hours.
The Iron County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to close the Lac Courte Oreilles Harvest Camp Thursday night, saying residents are violating a 14-day camping limit on county forest land.
About 30 people attended the meeting, most speaking in support of what's officially called the Harvest Education Learning Project, or HELP Village. An hour of public comment was followed by an hour in closed session, where county supervisors consulted with legal counsel. A motion to close the camp passed 13 votes to 0, with two members absent.
The Lac Courte Oreilles Harvest Camp in Iron County won't be going anywhere for the time being. The Iron County Board has taken the camp's eviction off its Tuesday agenda.
Harvest camp residents have been staying on county forest land since the spring in response to Gogebic Taconite's mine proposal. But the Iron County Forestry Committee voted last week to evict them.
Iron County Clerk Mike Saari says this week's delay doesn't mean the issue is gone for good.
Iron County Forestry and Parks committee members have again unanimously voted to evict the residents of the Harvest Camp near the site of a proposed iron mine.
Members of the Lac Courte Oreilles tribe and other supporters have been camping on county land since early spring in opposition of Gogebic Taconite's mine proposal.
The Lac Courte Oreilles Harvest Camp is celebrating a feast day Thursday.
The camp formed in the spring of this year in response to a proposed iron mine in the Penokee Hills.
Five people are spending the winter at the camp…which has already seen more than a foot of snow. Spokesman Paul DeMain says the camp has visitors every day, and several dozen people could attend the feast.
Negotiations have begun between Iron County officials and the Lac Courte Oreilles Harvest Camp. Tribal members and supporters set up camp in May near the site of a proposed iron mine in the Penokee Hills.
After signs that county officials planned to evict the group, the tribe asked to negotiate for a long term arrangement. Tribal member and camp overseer Mel Gasper says he believes the conversations will be fruitful.

What a wonderful home to come and relax. The back patio was the perfect place to enjoy the ocean views. The private pool was perfect for adults and kids alike. Beautifully furnished and a great layout. I would highly recommend this home for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Loved the sunsets and snorkeling every day. The house is a great family retreat destiny. We would return!

pictures of kitchens w/superwhite?
Could you please post pictures of your superwhite quartzite kitchen?
Thanks so much!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Super White! Go for it! Fyi it is also called or closely related to White Fantasy and our placed has it labeled Alpine White, which I think is used less often.
Here is a link of one I came across today, but I know another person on here that has it on her island, just can't think of her name.
Here is a link that might be useful: super white/white fantasy
I have a ton of superwhite in my kitchen. Here is a single photo of my island, but I linked the rest of the gallery below.
Here is a link that might be useful: My finished kitchen
I have Donna Sandra marble which looks so close to Superwhite. I have some pics in this thread:
Good luck!
jgopp...you are the kitchen I was trying to locate! thank you for seeing this post and sharing your pictures. i am in the process of deciding on my own super white, but they vary so much right now. some look more like chunks of rock than others. but they are all beautiful!
1.5 years later still totally in love with our Super White quartzite kitchen counters! Click on photo's to see other photo's.

Hi Missy - thank you so much! Our backsplash is finally in - I did white subway tiles... but still no potfiller. Hoping that goes in when I get the plumbers back over here Friday and then will post finished pics! (fingers crossed). I love our countertops and really don't think you can go wrong with Superwhite!
Moon Night is another quartzite very similar. (I actually think they're all the same stone just named differently.)
Slush used it in her kitchen. I'll link her kitchen below. It's so beautiful.
Here is a link that might be useful: Slush's Moon Night
@ Lake Girl, They are Hudson Valley Edison Collection in old bronze. I purchased them from A.D. Cola lighting in Natick MA. They were kind enough to drop ship them right to my house from the Hudson Valley warehouse. I did change the shades on the island pendants out to the ribbed one. The one above sink I could order as is with no extra charge. The island ones come with 3 or 4 different length rods.
oh my jgopp....SO SO SORRY! i should not have assumed all of us on here are girls, sorry :( well, let me just say it again, you did a fantastic job in your kitchen. i wish my hubby had a your vision when it came to our own kitchen. he is so sick of granite yard trips, and he has only gone once :)
just saw on HGTV Genevieve used this stone to make a dining room table top! it was a long table and the entire top was super white. i don't think they called it by name, but definitely was super white. the surrounding cabs were all painted a navy blue color. very interesting.
Here are some more pics of my SuperWhite/Moon Night honed. Kitchen is STILL not completed but here are a few photos. No etching or staining at all so far. From Almost finished Kitchen From Almost finished Kitchen From Almost finished Kitchen From Almost finished Kitchen

Reposting from Fiber Arts Blog: The assault on local yarn stores.
The assault on local yarn stores, by Phyllis Alberici. This was a good read. I don't know what to say except that I adore our local yarn shop, The Spinning Room, in Altamont. I don't buy a lot there because I've been making my own yarn with my own fiber, but I do buy a […] [Read More]
Needing to daydream….PICTURE DAY!
Every year around this time I think I post about being stuck 'blah' in winter….especially when it's really icy and gray outside. The next couple of months will seem to drag on, but at least this year I can spin yarns inside and that's a little like sunshine. This morning….I just went through some 'warm' photos. […] [Read More]

Saw another new house up today…in the country…with a closed-fancy-gate at the end of the driveway. I don't get it.

Below Zero this morning – Hey Ralphie!
Only a handful of llamas were in the big barn cozy in deep straw bedding. the rest were outside under the shed roof…chewing their cud. I do love farm animals.

It's THAT time of year. Thinking.
I'm right smack in the time of year I've been waiting for since November. Quiet time. Thinking time. Time to re-group and plan for 2012.

Dow Jones Global Indexes | Global Stock Markets
The worst may be over for some European banking stocks—and they could be in line to rebound, big-time.
"If you are convinced that European banks are not going to collapse, then you could make 50% to 100%," in the medium term, says Marc Renaud, founder of fund managers Mandarine Gestion in Paris. He sees "good value in some European banks, because the market always goes too far."
A colossal caveat: "Be very selective." This isn't for the fainthearted.
But the sentiment's gaining popularity. Financial stocks were the biggest losers last year, shedding about a quarter of their value. Yet they've bounced back since Jan. 1: Financial issues have already climbed 9.3%—the second-best performing sector in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, behind basic materials, which are up 11.6%. And they still have room to run. "Financials are on fire," writes Société Générale.
Don't be fooled into thinking that the European banking industry's problems are anywhere near over. Banks are still mired in tortuous negotiations with Greece over the extent of the haircut they will take on their holdings of Greek government bonds, and there still is a chance of a disorderly default. Then there is the small matter of the 115 billion euros (€1 currently fetches about $1.30) in fresh capital that the European Banking Authority demands banks raise by June 30, in order to meet tougher capital-adequacy requirements.
But the market has harshly punished the whole European group, even banks with less exposure to euro-zone debt problems. While Renaud admits he got into some of them about seven months early—in mid-2011—he believes his investments in the good-value banks will be redeemed. He sees BNP Paribas bnp.fr 1.9412191582002902% BNP Paribas S.A. France: Paris EUR56.19 1.07 1.9412191582002902% /Date(1427499393000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6940525 P/E Ratio 432.2307692307692 Market Cap 70010357237.6876 Dividend Yield 2.6695141484249865% Rev. per Employee 490311 More quote details and news » (ticker: BNP.France), Banco Santander san.mc -0.4772234273318872% Banco Santander S.A.

BNP Paribas had a liquidity problem rather than a capital issue, says Renaud, who estimates that even a 100% haircut on the value of its €3.5 billion holding of Greek government debt wouldn't wipe out a year's profit. The bank is a leading lender to oil companies. BNP Paribas shares, which closed Friday at €35.33, have jumped 16% in value since the start of the year, and currently trade at 5.8 times estimated 2012 earnings; dividend yield is 5.9%.
Santander has been punished because it's based in Spain, although it generates only a quarter of its income in its home market, says Renaud. "These guys will be the winners of the crisis, because they are good bankers," he adds. Santander acquired a nationwide network of banks in the U.K. for a nominal sum. Santander's shares closed Friday at €5.91, 6.9 times estimated 2012 earnings and offer a dividend yield of 8%.
Intesa raised €5 billion in capital last year, and currently trades at a cheap price-to-book value of just 0.4 times. Its stock closed Friday at €1.38, 8.7 times estimated 2012 earnings; the dividend yield is 5.8%. Brokerage Citi notes Intesa has the strongest capital position and liquidity profile of the major Italian banks.

"I am not telling you everything is good in the euro zone," he says. "We have a big job to do."
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index ended Friday at 255.85, up 2.7% on the week. France's and Spain's successful bond auctions bolstered the euro.

Ennui - Telepathic Beat
|The brainchild project of Pittsburg native Jim Doutrich, Ennui is the musical ensemble of ambient synth pop and upbeat musical arrays. Apart from his choice of a highly interesting name as his alter-ego, in 'Feel It' Doutrich emotes distinctly through the words,especially in the infectious "I can feel it" chorus.
The psychedelic edginess imbibed into those energetic 80s musical patterns ensures the listener is never jaded into a monotonous backbeat. I for one am pleasantly reminded of a personal favorite synth-pop group, CHVRCHES. - AltSounds
Ennui - Telepathic Beat
|New Artist Discovery: Ennui, aka Jim Doutrich, just released his new single "Summer of Love." The single, which was released last month, was the first track written for Ennui's upcoming record "Telepathic Beat." The nearly seven-minute track is filled with the ambient electric/pop vibe that represents Ennui. With its techno-like beat and overlay of vocals, "Summer of Love" will be infectious even after the summer days pass. - NoisePorn

Shinamo Moki - You Couldn't Be More Distant
The 405
|Electro duo Shinamo Moki, harking from Brighton, draw upon their passions for Japanese pop culture, nature and Eastern architecture for what they describe as "sparse synths and splintering, textural percussions," which, to give them credit, is pretty accurate. There's a spazzkid-type clattering of synthetic noise, a delicious cataclysm of post-dance/synthpop eye-twitch glee and saccharine sharpness, like razorblades in lollipops. It's gorgeously eccentric pop. - The 405
Ennui - Telepathic Beat
|Based out of Pittsburgh, the eclectic solo project Ennui floats into the airwaves with their most recent song "Circles". What was once a four-piece band has since dwindled down to Jim Doutrich, who has been the primary songwriter along the way. It really is surprising to see how Ennui's sound has fluxed over the years. In looking through their 4 years of available material you can find a mix of styles ranging from a heavy 80's influence, a more modern laid back indie vibe and the most recent airy, experimental touch.
Beginning with an uplifting melody, "Circles" is the kind of song that takes off regardless of whether or not you are strapped in and ready to go. Shifting in and out of deep grooves, easing vocals play off of morphing synth patterns to accentuate the differentiation found throughout. Just when the song seems like it has taken its best turn it shifts in a new directions that are equally as enthralling. - Earmilk
Ennui - Telepathic Beat
Consequence of Sound
|When Pittsburgh's Ennui started out a few years back, it was as a four-piece playing energetic synth-rock. Eventually, the lineup was eventually whittled down to the twosome of multi-instrumentalist Sam McUmber and producer/principal songwriter Jim Doutrich. Following the release of 2011's more eclectic Formation of Tides, Doutrich decided to go it alone, holing up in his home studio to experiment with dreamier, more atmospheric sounds. The result is Ennui's latest album, Telepathic Beat.
In anticipation, Doutrich has unveiled the album's lead single, "Circles". The track captures the lazy, romanticized days of summer with pensive synthesizer loops and heartbeat drums. Between the glossy hooks, Doutrich finds room to get weird with distorted and psychedelic synth flourishes. His effected vocals feel somewhat reminiscent of Washed Out, creating a sense of worldly detachment as he repeats, "Turn away, drift apart/Don't go back to the start". It's the ideal soundtrack for those serene nights at the beach, ones spent hoping the evening will never end. - Consequence of Sound

Lerna and other settlements on the mainland were eventually surrounded by massive walls with projecting towers, and neighbouring islands like Aigina or Syros in the Cyclades also had towered walls with trap gates.

Even with Alberta being the most conservative province in the Country, I really do feel as though this person misspoke. What he said was offhand and without much thought (and the only reason he was speaking in the first place was in order to address the issue of homophobia in Albertan schools). It really doesn't seem to me as though there are any discriminatory undertones here — a worthy headline nonetheless.

I am doing some work on a web site that has a secure area which is available to users only after they have logged in. In this area there is a page with links to pdf documents which can be downloaded. The physical documents are outside of the web site's root directory. The links to the pdf documents look something like this:
Which executes the following (note: I know this is the way to force a download rather than open the file inside the browser):
// check security, get filename from request, prefix document download directory and check for file existance then...
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . basename($file) . '"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
header('Connection: Close');
This works well but in Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7 (I haven't tested with any other browser) won't open this file inside the browser, they both show the download dialog box (as expected). If I select Open rather than Save, the document is downloaded and Adobe Reader is started outside of the browser to render the document.
The problem I have is downloading the file inside the browser and having the correct default file name if saved.
I would like the document to open in the browser. One way of doing this is using the header "Content-Disposition: inline;" but this means that I can't specify a filename (because is seems to be ignored by the browser). The problem with doing that is when I save the document, the default name is that of the URL, not the filename of the pdf document:
How can I get Firefox and Internet Explorer to open the document inside the browser and provide the correct default filename to save?

First time shopping on OS. Very impressed with their quick turn around time, and the fact that the shipping was so low was the bottom line that made me buy here. The price for this product was lower than other sites I checked on which made the purchase of this item making you feel like you had hit the sales in stores, but all from your computer at home. My grandson of 4 years LOVED this book. He tells everyone he wants to be a chef, so this particular book was exactly right for him. He has just about worn the pages thin after only a week, and my daugher has already helped him make a few of the recipes in it. This product was exactly what they said it was in the OS description, an exact replica of the 1957 book. I will now be doing a lot more shopping at Overstock.com, due to the quality of service and prices of my first shopping experience on their web site.
