I was always a fan of the shiseido eyelash curler. I live in the U.S. so when I went to Asia for vacation, I got my hands on the Shu Uemura eyelash curler. So. Frickin. Good. I have almond shape eyes. This curler curls your lashes effortly. It doesn't open as wide as the shiseido one but it works beautifully. I use my shiseido one to curl my real lashes to my falsies. Definitely would repurchase this!

LOVE THIS! it's a great investment but the annoying thing is that it came with only one replacement pad so it's always a hassle to go find those pads. Works great, esp on my asian lashes

I love curling my lashes, but no matter how many times I hear a praise for this one - it won't change the fact that it just doesn't fit my eye shape! It is made in Japan and it is just too flat to reach the outer lashes of my eyes! The metal body, the uncomfortable handles, the side-bars that pinch the eyelid - ouch! If you want to try a curler that is truly unique, that is customized to your eye shape using 3D scanning app - check out: http://goo.gl/eF49wb

If you ever need an eyelash curler, make sure you only buy this stuff. This is the only curler that works and lasts! Enough said!

This is the best eyelash curler you will ever own !!!
It never kinks your lashes and it curls like a dream...
just buy it, you will never regret it.
I paid $24 for mine on sale, and it is worth twice that
in my opinion.
Comes in a cardboard box with a spare rubber.

I have little eyes with short, sparse eyelashes and this is the only eyelash curler I've used for the past five years! I wouldn't recommend any other!

I have asian tapered double eyelids, this is probably the most effective eyelash curler I've tried (although I haven't tried the Shiseido curler yet). It's definitely expensive compared to most lash curlers in the market but it honestly does the trick if you have stubborn, super straight lashes. Shu Uemura really needs to sell the rubber eyelash curler refills because I don't want to be spending so much money for the same eyelash curler again when mine wears out because of the rubber.

I have been using it for years (have been using the same curler for 4 years) and its definitely a product I'll be using for even longer! I'm not fond of curlers that are too cushioned and this curler isn't one of them. Lashes are curled well and stay curled, definitely a classic staple.

The Shu Uemura eyelash curler is a well made product! I purchased the eyelash curler from Sephora for $24 in Canada. Most of the time, my lashes are kink free, however sometimes the curler doesn't get all my lashes at the ends so there is some kink there. I guess my eye shape isn't the best for this curler. I usually first curl the middle part of my lashes and then angle the curler is a way to curl the ends of the lashes. Still. I'm very impressed with this curler's ability to curl my lashes, they look so long and beautiful. With mascara, my lashes look doll like.

The first batch I did I used my fancy dancy new DIY rib cage IC and got this incredible cold break(right?). In order to put the wort into the fermentor I just poured it into the ale pale through a funnel. I know it worked great to aerate the wort but I just realized today that I totally undid or negated the cold break because all those proteins that fell out of solution just ended up in my fermentor. This finally dawned on me today while trying to figure out why my beer is not very clear at all. Anyway, I have a sanke keg waiting for me to install a ball valve and I'll be doing all my boiling in the keg. I wanted to use the ball valve to transfer the wort to the fermentor. My question is, since all the cold break junk falls to the bottom of the kettle, once I opened the ball valve I'd still be putting all the cold break into the fermentor. So what is a good method to use a handy valve to rack to the fermentor while still leaving all the cold break junk behind?
thanks for the help!
It will simply drop to the bottom of the fermenter, you can usually notice this occurring within 10-15 minutes. It won't re-combine with the wort in the fermenter - the fact that it the cold break happened and precipitated out is what really matters.
I pour my wort into the pail also, even when I stir it up that cold break still falls right back down within minutes so I don't believe it is anything to worry about. I do get clear beer in the end.
I thought having those proteins etc in contact with the wort could inhibit some clarity and even possible impart some off flavors. But it sounds like you get clear beer anyway. My beer isn't clear. In fact, this first batch of honey ale came out very similar in clarity to your avatar picture. Let's put it this way, I can't see from one side of the glass to the other and it's not a dark beer.
I don't have a ballvalve in my kettle, so I rack about half way, then pour the rest of the wort in. I usually don't strain at all, unless I've used a ton of leaf hops. I rack 1/2 and and pour 1/2 because I'm just too weak to lift 5 gallons and the keggle or the kettle. (I weigh maybe 135 pounds)
Here's a picture of my IPA:
I don't use any finings, except for whirlfloc in the kettle. The key is to get a great hot break and cold break. I have never had any off-flavors from not filtering the break material and hops sludge out.
Whilrpool and then rack from the side of the pot. The cold break/trub will remain in the center, and if you then rack from the very edge of the pot, you should not see an overabundance of proteins in your fermenter. I would be interested to know how well whirlpooling works with a ribcage immersion chiller, though. I would think it might be difficult. If you used recirculation to create the whirlpool, perhaps it would work, but I would be curious to hear if anyone has tried this. If you can't whirlpool, then the next best method is to use a screen of some sort to filter out the agglomerated pieces of trub.
Your beer looks great, very clear! I wonder why mine isn't very clear.

Implementation methodologies ACCIONA created the ACCIONA Microenergia Foundation (FUNDAME) to focus its efforts on social development activities, by facilitating sustainable access to basic services such as energy and water, in isolated rural areas in developing countries. Thus FUNDAME started ACCIONA Microenergia Peru (AMP) and ACCIONA Microenergia Mexico (AMM) as non-profit associations with the aim to be sustainable energy service social micro-enterprises. Both companies provide access to basic electric services of lighting by means of solar systems. AMP through the programme "Luz en Casa Perú" installs Solar Home Systems (SHS) that comprise one solar panel, one sealed lead-acid battery, one regulator and three energy-efficient lamps. AMP provides such electric service by using a fee-for-service model: AMP charges SHS users an affordable fee and, once the installation of the system is completed, uses the fee revenues to pay the operation & maintenance costs, as well as the equipment replacement . AMM through the programme "Luz en Casa Oaxaca", in collaboration with other partners, installs Small Solar Home Systems (SSHS).

(Liquid) Fire Walk with Me - a history of Neon
America's long fascination with illumination, - neon and otherwise - finds genesis within that outstretched, verdigris-hued hand of Ms. Liberty herself. Gazing omniscient down across New York Harbour, and up from on-high over numerous questionable commemorations, Liberty Enlightening the World - her torch grasped aloft forever before the nation - illuminates for all, America's unassailable independence and freedom.
Yet Neon herself did not originate upon these gilded shores, despite America's affection for colossal luminescence. Rather, two knowledgeable British chemists, Sir William Ramsay and one Morris W. Travers, discovered Neon gas, named for the Greek νέον, meaning new, in London's late nineteenth century. Neon alighted in the land of the free and the City Of Angels in 1923, by way of a Parisian, Georges Claude, and a Californian Packard automobile dealership. America's first ever neon signage in fact read Packard, fusing inextricably together the nation's fixation with the automobile, with advertising and consumerism, and with Neon herself, termed by the day - liquid fire...
Radiating forth across the nation, from coast to gilded coast, adopted with uncurbed enthusiasm by every state from Oregon to Maryland, Neon made her incandescent way at last to Broadway and 7th Avenue – 'The Crossroads Of The World', New York's Times Square. And there she has remained ever since, her seductive neon wares known as 'spectaculars' and 'jumbotrons' transfixing millions of bedazzled tourists and passersby. Times Square now rivals in density even that all-American desert Mecca of excess and luminescence, victory and spectacular decline, the world's consummate Sin City and The Entertainment Capital Of The World, Las Vegas.
Las Vegas: an expansive metropolis of entrancing neon lights, express marriage ceremonies and rapacious casinos. Las Vegas: a city largely constructed by Chicago and New York's organised crime syndicates. Las Vegas: the brightest city on earth when viewed from outer space, a luminous Xanadu that Tom Wolf immortalised as "the only city in the world whose skyline is made neither of buildings, like New York, nor of trees, like Wilbraham, Massachusetts, but signs … But such signs! They tower. They revolve, they oscillate, they soar in shapes before which the existing vocabulary of art history is helpless."
Long synonymous of course with luck's wayward hand, Las Vegas' neon brilliance might also be viewed as emblematic of fated American ascendancy, of triumph and redemption, rewarded daring and greatest downfall, of providence wholly seized. And Las Vegas, blazing fiercely forever on, deep within the Mojave Desert, alongside New York's Times Square and Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard, possesses a symbolic pre-eminence, in America's collective cultural consciousness.
Icarus arcing inevitably higher towards the sun, gosling daydreamers drawn to the fireside, neon is deeply entwined with the nation's mythologies, ideologies, and cosmologies. Her lanterns gathering Kerouac's mad ones, 'the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars' from every highway and laneway, town, city and county in the land.
Proclaiming vice and immortality, aspiration and dream, those neon bathed theatres and diners, that proffered leisure and refreshment, flesh and fortune found across the vast American night, all serve as constellations for those longing wayfarers seeking reward and redemption, fame, and even deification. Seize these, and seize yourself. See one's name in lights and possess that greatest expression of all-American cultural iconography. For you too shall have Warhol's fifteen minutes. You too will join the luminous Sunset pantheon. You too, may be President one day.
Sweetest Neon is however, more often than not, the cruellest vixen. And despite all Daedalus' implorations, courting those favours she so archly proffers is too often, a quixotic endeavour. For Neon's brilliant incandescence remains forever amnesic; fame and adulation sear themselves brilliantly across heaven and memory and consciousness, before inevitably expiring spectacularly once more. Faded supernovas, broken dreams, ebbing northern stars… courting neon demands caution, should you wish to possess her for more than a solitary luminous evening.
For all that glitters is not gold, after all.

Introduction to Fall 2014
The KENZO Pre-Fall 2014 collection has launched online and in store. We asked Isabella Burley, the editor of Dazed & Confused magazine to introduce the collection.
It's been almost twenty-five years since David Lynch's eerie cult drama Twin Peaks first aired and pulled an entire generation into the depths of its bizarre world. Reflecting a career-long fascination with the darkness concealed behind a facade of the banal, the sleepy town was a fictional realm where nothing was as it seemed. Lynch put it best himself on the poster of his 1992 film Fire Walk With Me (a prologue to the series) with the headline: "In a town like Twin Peaks, no one is innocent."
Whether it was Agent Cooper's pristine suits or Audrey Horne's black and white brogues, for many of us, Twin Peaks left a lasting impression on our collective fashion psyche. Apparently we're not the only ones, as KENZO's Pre-Fall 2014 collection is very much a love letter to the warped dualities and complexities that drew us into Lynch's fantastical world. But Carol and Humberto have never been too literal or singular with their references. This pre-collection, which was followed by an artistic collaboration on the set and soundtrack with David Lynch for the Fall/Winter 2014 show, draws on the motifs and codes of Lynch's Pacific North-West but is re-mixed for today's digital generation.
Plaid – which holds its own position in American folklore and made oh so many appearances on Lynch's oddball characters - is twisted and re-worked with bold neon accents (imagine stark '90s fluorescent beam lighting via the 20th century artist Dan Flavin – a favourite of the design duo). Further skewing the familiar, the plaid prints of the collection infused with neon, with jagged lines that dart their way across skirts, jumpers and dresses like the eerie visuals of TV static. Shoes and belts are made up from hypnotic prints and serve as optical illusions – a nod to the fact that in Twin Peaks you can't ever trust the ground you stand on.
Then comes fire. Now, if you've ever seen the creation of a Cai Guo-Qiang gunpowder painting then you will understand its parallel state between beauty and destruction. In Twin Peaks, the line "Fire Walk with Me" is ambiguous invitation to the unknown. Carol and Humberto quite literally play with fire in this collection, emblazoning the words as a slogan on knitwear and allowing yellow flames to creep up the back of garments. In their hands, it's a fearless force of great power.
The interplay of contrasting elements is very much at the core of this collection. Carol and Humberto might have grown up on the West coast, but here they explore the mystery and strangeness of the American Northwest. Silhouettes of mountain peaks adorn garments alongside prints of doors that ultimately lead to nowhere. Just as Lynch sought to explore the human instability that lurks underneath the everyday, Carol and Humberto remind us that modern life is far more exciting when you get to push the limitations of reality.
Shop the KENZO Pre/Fall 2014 collection for women and for men.
The Best Coast is the West Coast
The raw energy of '80s American Punk - bands like Black Flag and Circle Jerks and the underground artist Raymond Pettibon - were among the native Californian inspirations that influenced Carol and Humberto for the KENZO Spring/Summer 2014 collection. From psychadelic rock to ska, grunge and hip hop, what makes California such a hive for counterculture music? Kenzine asked former i-D magazine music editor Milly McMahon to dive deep into the music culture of Los Angeles and environs; the harvest of which is an epic journey of the West Coast underground from then to now…
Ask any sunkissed CA resident their favourite destination in the world and their immediate answer will be 'the best coast is the West Coast.' Culturally, linguistically and ecologically rich, L.A. lifestyle rules dictate "just vibe and chill". The world-famous trippy nightlife scene truly ignites in the AM, when the sun rises and industrial warehouse spaces light up. A true melting pot of culture, anyone and everyone is a beckoning 30 minute drive from either the crashing surf of the ocean or the peace of the mountains. No matter how crazy and warped a weekend will become, the heavenly L.A. sun and sand rejuvenates you from the outside in; the sunshine state is a multi-sensory pleasure centre.
Giving rise to a host of the most successful musical icons of generations past and present, California's litany of success stories reads like a who's who of cool. The legacy of L.A.s flamboyant roots are secured within the diverse history of the area's open-minded relationship with music and the sub cultures that have kindled their own genres. Crafting timeless grooves, accepting of the fashions that have influenced different sounds - no matter how extreme – L.A.s creative diversity is boundless. From surf and psychedelic rock to techno, soul to house and hardcore to DnB breaks, L.A. can take credit for a colourful roster of the world's best musical acts: The Beachboys; Jefferson Airplane; Santana; The Byrds; The Grateful Dead; Frank Zappa; The Eagles; Janis Joplin; Motley Crew; Korn, Metallica. These bands typify historically significant musical movements of their time, while the inheritors of the West Coast - Madlib, Dam-Funk, Kendrick Lamar, Inc., Delroy Edwards, Dr Dre, SFV Acid, Ariel Pink, Shlohmo, Baths, Daedelus, Flying Lotus, Snoop Dogg - all represent the breaking homegrown talent of tomorrow.
In translating L.A.'s famously gritty, post-punk, hardcore energy into an electronic setting, techno, house, drum and bass and every dance subgenre in between currently dominate the emerging music scene on the West Coast. Recorded in the same studios that original rock records were created, Californian dance music tracks sound worn, raw and dirty. The electronic vibe is aggressive and loud; the original L.A. rock form continues to inform the evolution of house and techno. Noise bands Sun Araw and DJ Punisher write modern rock, translating the previously influential sensibilities of Black Flag and Wasted Youth into their own current thrash productions. The originators are spawning a tribe of brand new originals. Delroy Edwards raw, Southern L.A. label 'Club Resource' is a perfect example of 'noise' infiltrating a whole scope of genres. The famous L.A. riots of 1992 still feel prevalent in non-conformist, niche anti-surf rock circles (No Age and Wives), which exist in contrast to more placid surf pop acts (Wavves and Best Coast).
Converting unconventional spaces into house raves and parties, TOP 40 is the city's number one go-to live music venue for breaking talent. A large, open space where all forms of art and life can come and share freely with one another and run by Meghan Edwards aka MISS ME MISS, TOP 40 is a multidisciplinary art show and music hall. Thinking outside of the box and encouraging the survival of good music in the city, producers in the state are focused on maintaining the feel-good vibes popularly on rotation at illegal warehouse gatherings. With a significant shift in live music events taking place in obscure venues, most live shows are now staged outside of the club and bar paradigm. Being re-appropriated to a re-purposed or altered space has helped to alter the mood and experience of artists' sets. Record store Mount Analog is a perfect example of an impromptu, makeshift venue that has developed a reputation for staging must-attend, one off events.
Boiler Room, the world's leading underground live music stream, now hosts amongst the most prestigious and groundbreaking shows direct from L.A.'s disused, unofficial industrial areas. Music is being created to be laid down live on a wider scale to fill vaster spaces not originally constructed to contain sound professionally. Chopped, skewered and sampled beats form the basis of DJ's sets; artists Rare Times and Inc. typify this perfume style of sexy, R&B blended song structure. The vibe is quietly rebellious, catering to the needs of audiences looking to chill, chat and just get down. Every musician, producer or DJ works alongside fellow artists who create a variety of different kinds of music; funk, techno and house crowds all attend each other's parties. The subsequent musical cross pollination that then follows is crucial to the melodic mix of blended genres getting laid down on record.
G-Funk will always and forever be an integral part of Los Angeles musical heritage. Originally coined as 'West Coast gangster rap' in the '90s, G-Funk is a subgenre of hip hop which samples P-Funk, blended with an artificially lowered tempo. Tupac and Nate Dogg famously went on to adopt the signature laid back melodic G-Funk groove in the context of their own flow. Playing out any song by Dr. Dre -the number one pioneer of G-Funk - specifically "XXXplosive", is the fail safe way to set any L.A. party popping. Artist Dam-Funk is a true ambassador of G-Funk spin off genre "Modern Funk" and artists Rare Times, Inc., and P. Morris continue the tradition with their own breed of Balearic funk summer sounds. Soul, jazz, funk, house, techno, and hip-hop all equally and universally relate their foundations back to black culture. Given the fact both Godfathers of rap, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre both hail from the West Coast, the legacy that respectfully proceeds them reiterates the importance of their influence on all music created from then to now.
L.A. is home to some of the rarest and revered record labels in the world: niche imprints Friends of Friends, L.A. Club Resource and Stones Throw push forward independently, alongside major imprints Capitol Records & Warner Brothers. Former member of Friends of Friends and now independent manager and Boiler Room rep., Julian Schoen is based in hispanic Highland Park and describes his perfect evening in L.A. as typically laid back: "My ideal night out would involve a dinner, ideally KBBQ in Koreatown Ramen or Pho and then a friend's house to hang out, drink and get ready for a party around 11 or 12. From there, we usually go to some obscure secret space either downtown or worse and party till the sun comes up." After relocating from London to L.A., Partisan signed young filmmaker Dexter Navy's career soared when he began shooting hip hop innovators, prevalent on the West Coast scene: "In L.A. l feel the rawness of the youth working together, they're all young, wild and free with no reservations about what's cool in the city. Los Angie is always alive dusk to dawn, they love my London accent… they love us!" The city itself has becomes an enabler, an inspiring subject to the young talent it is able to nurture.
With the underground, industrial currents of the L.A. music scene proving so influential on the mainstream, California is harnessing the energies guiding the future and defining the trends of tomorrow for the rest of the world through rose tinted spectacles. Drenched in vitamin D, the sunshine state encourages all forms of eccentricity, promoting a health first culture, whilst facilitating hedonistic behaviour through a healthy haven of rave induced escapism. The future of new music is bright, the West Coast truly is the best coast.
In the second part of "The Best Coast is the West Coast", Milly speaks to L.A. electronic acts Rare Times, P. Morris and Inc. to hear their take on the climate of new music and how hot temperatures keep their audiences the coolest. Read it here.
The Life Aquatic - Marine influences in the SS14 collection
The watery depths of the world's immense oceans have fascinated us mere mortals for centuries. Sailors went to their graves while trying to tame the wildest seas; artists have painstakingly attempted to capture the brilliant, but ever-shifting shades of blue; and divers continue to be enchanted by the world beneath the surface.
Kenzo Takada felt the lure of the ocean. He crossed countless seas on his maiden voyage to France from Japan, encountering exotic places along the way. The adventure left such an impression on him that it informed the very aesthetic of KENZO itself — that eclectic mix of cultures and influences — and also became a touchstone for many of the brand's most important archival moments. We've found a men's button-down shirt from the late 1980s that features an oversized fish print, and the wave crest logo that was used for KENZO Jeans. The denim label featured a motif that resembled Japanese artist Katushika Hokusai's famous woodblock wave print series.
Carol and Humberto have also always been aware of the powerful pull of the ocean. Growing up in California with the immense Pacific Ocean lining the coast, they witnessed the ebb and flow of tides and the delicate world our marine life inhabits within. It's fitting, then, that the life aquatic was the jumping off point for KENZO's Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Vibrant blues feature throughout and a wave crest motif has been explored in a myriad of innovative ways. In a touch of irreverence, wide-legged trousers are cut in shimmery lacquered silk — a nod to the wondrous watery world that inspired the collection as a whole.
Fashion can be used as a powerful soapbox for awareness, and Carol and Humberto hope to help bring awareness to the devastating effects of overfishing, helped by a partnership with the Blue Marine Foundation. Bluefin tuna, rainbow trout, marlin and grouper are just four fish species that are currently protected by the foundation, but ongoing support is crucial. The 'next generation' eye-catching KENZO fish print was introduced for the Spring/Summer 2014 collection, but this time it is emboldened by an important message — "No Fish No Nothing".

But since I installed my new Anker battery (was on a half-in-the-bag EZO Power 1900mAh), the problem came back, happened twice now, a week apart.
I'm trialing KitKatDS right now, but will probably go back in a week or less due to wakelock (Android OS) issues. Judging by above, when I do I will bump up the minimum even higher. Hard to see the correlation with how the battery will be causing it, but I see no other change.

One election: three presidents. That's what happened in 1960. Three men sought the highest elected office in the United States. Eventually all of them would serve as Commander-in-chief. Author David Pietrusza brings history to life in his book 1960—LBJ vs. JFK vs. Nixon: The Epic Campaign That Forged Three Presidencies

It's baaaack…
Yup, Katie B (and Will & Jeremy) drove up to VA to pay us a visit this past weekend. Sneaky little Bowers. And among other things, we posed in the yard holding big white signs. You know, the usual. We'll share more what-we-did details a little later in the week, but for now we're here to issue the second ever Pinterest Challenge (it's not actually sponsored or endorsed by Pinterest – we're just obsessed fans).
My Pinterest addiction runs deep (as you know from this heartfelt post of yore), so a few months back when Katie called me to say that she thought we should challenge ourselves to make one thing each season that's inspired by all the amazing stuff that we've pinned over there (and call it… wait for it… The Pinterest Challenge) I thought it sounded like fun. It's a welcome slap of stop-pinning-and-start-doing. Because I've pinned 1001 things and only done about 1% of them. We ended up having a great time with our first Pinterest Challenge this summer, so we're back with the fall edition.
The only rule is to do your take on something inspirational that you've pinned, so it can be anything- big or small (decor or sewing or cooking related – or beyond). Last time John and I made a clothespin light fixture for the laundry room, but this time we thought something seasonal could be fun (since the winter edition of the Pinterest Challenge won't roll around until January). So I thought I'd seize the opportunity to whip up a bunch of Pinterest-inspired ornaments for a (hopefully) charming "homemade for the holidays" effect.
I've already pinned about fifty ideas, but I'm not sure which ones John and I will end up doing (and what our riff on them will look like) – but we'll be back with all of those details when we complete the challenge next week. Oh and you're probably wondering who else is playing along with Katie Bower from Bower Power (aka: The Pinterest Challenge Founder – somebody get her a beard and a top hat). We thought it would be fun to ask different folks to "guest host" with us each time, so we're thrilled to have:
the amazing and oh so handy Ana from ana-white.com
Erin from House of Earnest (who submitted a super inspiring project during our first Pinterest Challenge that compelled us to ask her to climb aboard)
So here's the part where I extend my arm with an awkward smile and an uncoordinated curtsey and humbly invite you to join in… and do your own spin on something you pin! We figured we'd give everyone (and ourselves) the weekend to work on stuff and reconvene next Wednesday morning (the 2nd) to share our projects. We're hoping this'll turn into the same über fun share-fest that we soaked up this summer (check out all the amazing linked-up projects here). So just drop in next Wednesday to see what we've done – and to submit links to stuff that you've completed so we can all check it out. Maybe we'll even pin a few things. And so the vicious cycle continues…
One more time, for the people in the back: regardless of the fact that I say Pinterest ten million times (drinking game, anyone?) this wasn't paid or perked by them or anyone else. We're just eye-candy obsessed gals who love a good pin-fest. Sometimes while watching certain Beverly Hills Housewives.

Yay yay yay!! Every free weekend I find myself getting excited about some new pinterest project. Can't wait!
I have a Pinterest project that I've been trying to find time to make (even bought all the supplies!) So this may be just the motivation I need to finish it!
Pinterest is deadly for me…I could waste away half my life with it! ;)
I just joined Pinterest — so you're giving me an excuse to get pinning!
This also gives me an excuse to not ditch my plans to spend a weekend in November re-decorating my dining room using all DIY decor!
Thanks to you, I'm officially obsessed with Pinterest and had been waiting for the new challenge. I may or may not have squealed loudly in my cubicle, clapped like a seal, and accidentally knocked over my glass of water (way to show how productive I'm being)! Good luck!
I am so excited to do this! I am a super Pinterest addict and this is a great way to get my hiney in gear and finally do something! Also, am I stupid for asking if we are just doing something seasonal? Or, can we do anything we want?
Love it! I'm totally pinning this.
Yea…I am so excited! I loved doing the last one. I am on pinterest daily and have so many I want to do! I was actually thinking last night of talking about some of my pinterest finds next week…what a perefect tie-in!
I completely forgot about the Pinterest Challenge being a seasonal thang. Yay – Now I need to go look at my pins to see what I might want to tackle between now and next Wednesday! Thanks for hosting!
Yay! My bff and I have made loads of stuff we've pinned (tho maybe still only 10%. In fact, one of our posts for today is eyeball jewelry made with those jiggly eyeballs. We can thank you for it all since we cruise it constantly – and follow you! We'll show you something next week, but if you want to see today's post with the eyeball jewelry, the link is: http://www.wom-mom.com/2011/10/five-days-of-halloween-eyeball-jewelry.html
~Ethne and Lori
i'll be moving this weekend and then setting up house so i won't be able to participate which makes me sad. i'll be waiting for the winter one to finally be able to participate.
and sherry – after looking at these pictures above, i can now say i think clara is turning into her mama. you look exactly like her in these pictures!
silly girls! everyone will want to play along! =) haha I'm going to start brainstorming and pinning my butt off! yay!
can't wait!
Jenn @ Peas and Crayons
I have just literally packed of 12 happy little girls from my daughters Tangled (pin interest inspired) birthday party! From the banners, cake idea, food and tangled hair plait from the window from SuperMom blog to the balloons from your daughters birthday party! It was a great success and everyone commented on it all!
I'll have to see if I have any more energy for this challenge after today, organsing parties are exhausting – how pro's do this for a job I do not know!
Just step away from the Martha string/balloon/glitter/glue idea. Trust me. Tried and failed miserably. Glue and glitter everywhere and sad, limp sting balls. (heh).
Yay! I'm so glad you're doing this again (and plan on doing even more of them)! Can't wait to find something fantastic to do try this weekend! And, if you are ever on the look-out for guest hosts – I'd love to participate! Love the blog and can't wait to get involved in the challenge!
Yay! Thanks for the Pin-speration girls. I accept the challenge and look forward to seeing everyone's stuff.
So excited! I have the perfect little project …
You girls are too cute! I hope you have some pics of Will & Clara for us :)
I just have to say that I love that my two favorite bloggers are friends!
I'm so excited to see you and Katie together!!! Back to back in my reader!!!!
I LOOOOVE this challenge!!!! I created a whole blog devoted to the Pinspiration you can find on Pinterest!
I'm so excited for this little boost of motivation to get some fresh new posts up!! Can't wait to see what you guys do!
SAAAAAWEEEEEEET! We will be participating once again here at The Treehouse!
Yey!!! Pinterest challenge! I'm thinking you two will do something with ornaments or drapery. That's what my inner YHL nerves are sayin'. Off to find my Pinterest pin to do!
LOVIN' me some Pinterest!! And I think I have just the project…can't wait to share~ OH, and you silly girls make me smile :)
Oooh such a great idea … I'm totally in! I didn't really "get" what the 1st Pinterest Chellenge was about (saw bits and pieces right after I started to visit YHL recently) so this compeletly clarifies it.
And I had planned on spending all of Saturday being domestic so double bonus!
Sherry, your mouth opens wider than… than… I don't know. But it's crazy! I started laughing at the pictures and had to go back to reread the signs after I stopped giggling. Katie's tongue is a little alarming as well.
Woo, Pinterest Challenge! I'm excited!
And poor Erin. She never saw the traffic spike coming… I hope she gets back up soon, I'm dying to check her out.
(This whole comment sounds really pervy, and for that I apologize.)
Stephanie – I'm back up :) It was just the hour after the post went live that was so bananas! I'll have to switch servers for next week!!

The Ice Box has great ice cream! Their portions are huge and they have a vast selection of flavors. The milkshakes are the best! Thick and rich. My one granddaughter ordered a banana split which she couldn't finish! The other one simply wanted a chocolate dipped frozen banana and was very happy. My daughter ordered her ice cream in a cup and was surprised at the size of the scoops. I got my favorite, a salted caramel shake. Delish!
The owner is a very sweet woman who is friendly and willing to make suggestions if needed. This is a winner in our book!

Writing your own undocumented manpage is just as bad.. typing man and having to read something like `foobar has no manpage, type this and that and don't bother me.' it's the same thing. The manpage must provide some minimal information. That's what I'd propose. e.g. The manpage must provide at least the information you can get from the online help.

I am not sure the situation that resulted in the review of the management being uncooperative. I have lived here for about a year and have found it to be a very great experience. Management has been very helpful and respectful of privacy and tenant needs. I feel very safe here, and the units are large and have amazing unobstructed views. Security is friendly and effective, I think that this building is being managed well and by good people.

Newly renovated, 1938 bungalow in Old North Boulder, for the quality-minded traveler.
Bungalow Asio is an original farm house for the former fruit orchard on this land, situated just north of downtown. Asio is an owner-managed, full-time vacation rental; we live in our home next door, available to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We welcome you to come enjoy the unique features of Bungalow Asio, as well as Boulder and the mountains of Colorado.
Asio is an easy one-mile walk to the Pearl Street Mall, also one mile from several trailheads leading into the foothills just west of town, and a six-minute walk to shops, cafes, banks, a pub, a pharmacy, and a boutique Whole Foods grocery store. Bikes of all sizes and types are provided to easily get around town (including a Burley trailer, a tag-a-long, a tandem cruiser, helmets, locks and more).
Asio has unique artist features inside and out. It is 1200 sq. ft. and seems much larger. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, Asio easily sleeps six, is cozy for two and spacious for the whole family. Additionally, the loft has a queen bed for two more. The chef's kitchen is a guest favorite.
You must be 26 or older to book Bungalow Asio. Children are welcome.
We update our calendar as soon as it changes, so you can feel confident when making your plans. Additionally, we enjoy having personal contact with our guests, so please feel free to write or call (9am-9pmMST) with any questions or concerns. Check out our *** WEBSITE *** for additional information: listed below under Owner Information and above the Photos.
We have resided in Boulder since the early 90's, Greg originally from Minnesota and Donna from Maryland. We met here in Boulder while doing a meditation retreat and have enjoyed raising our daughter at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Greg is a musician (Brazilian, Jazz, Classical) and Donna is a painter (former dancer), and both enjoy gardening. We live next door to Asio, which we purchased after having been the property managers for the former owner (a good friend of ours) for over seven years. With the mountains, rivers, and canyons, the university, the thriving music and arts scene, and sports to participate in around every corner, Boulder provides everything we look for in life. It's not surprising it seems to regularly top a lot of the lists for good living.
Donna & Greg LaLiberte purchased this bungalow in 2013
We each moved to Boulder around 1990 and met through Naropa University. After living in various parts of town, we purchased the house next door to Asio in 2001 (which is where we reside) because of its location, the history of a close-knit neighborhood community, and living well close to downtown. When Asio came up for sale in 2012, we jumped at the chance to save the house from the wrecking ball (developers were wanting to build a large, modern house on the property). We spent much of 2013 lovingly and carefully renovating Asio inside and out, striking a balance between preserving and enhancing historic qualities, honoring features from a former artist/carpenter/owner, and including necessary modern conveniences. We think you'll agree we found a good balance.
Bungalow Asio is situated perfectly in Boulder, a short walk to shops, restaurants, and cafes, a quick run or bike ride (nice assortment of bikes are provided) to open space trails, three blocks from public transportation, and a fifteen minute walk to the Pearl Street Mall and downtown. Asio is surrounded by an adobe wall and privacy fencing, its property filled with mature trees, flagstone paths and patios, garden areas, and three outdoor seating/eating areas. The kitchen makes any chef happy, the antique spiral staircase to the TV/getaway loft charms all ages, the gas fireplace warms up the coldest winter evenings, the swamp cooler (like an A/C) cools the hottest summer days, and the amazing quiet the house calms all souls.
House was amazing. Super clean, eclectic and comfortable. Owners were also fantastic, doing whatever possible to make the stay enjoyable. I'll recommend this place to anyone who needs a house for Boulder.
Our family spent Thanksgiving at Bungalow Asio and the house was the perfect setting. The kitchen was fully stocked with roasting pans, pie spices, and everything we needed. We expanded the table for the six of us and had quite a feast. The beds are very comfortable, the TV in the loft great for the game watchers, and the living room worked well for visiting and reading. And even the weather was terrific and we sat outside in the lounge chairs and enjoyed the sunshine. Would love to stay there again and highly recommend it.
My cousin and I chose Bungalow Asio as our retreat for a week of quilting.
We were in awe by how comfortable, clean and well stocked the bungalow is. Not only is it decorated as a work of art, the attention to detail is phenomenal. So many amenities were provided and all were of the highest quality. Our hosts treated us like family.
One of the highlights of our stay was finding the apple tree in the back yard. We picked fresh apples and made an apple pie!
Boulder is a beautiful city with friendly people, scenic views, great restaurants and so many fun things to do. I am looking forward to a return visit and plan to stay at Bungalow Asio again.
I have stayed at many VRBO's across the country (Chicago, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Juan Islands...). This VRBO was by far the best. The attention to detail is amazing; the owners, Donna and Greg, are so hospitable; the home is clean, orderly, has supplies, comfort...I cannot say enough good things. They have thought of everything. We are definitely going back next year! Our week was relaxing, the neighborhood quiet, the town beautiful. Thank you Donna and Greg for taking the time to make your home so welcoming!
I rented Bungalow Asio for me and my bridesmaids to stay in for a few days prior to my wedding. It was perfect for a classy girls getaway. The home, the decor, and the garden are so charming. We had everything we needed in the home. And on my wedding day, we had our getting ready pictures in the house and my husband and I did our "first look" pictures in the garden. The photos turned out so beautiful! I am very thankful that we were able to use Bungalow Asio for my wedding weekend.
Bungalow Asio was picture perfect. Four of us (3 generations) came for a late summer getaway. The bungalow had period charm and impeccable updates, plenty of space to stretch out, a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of a supermarket and downtown Boulder, bikes galore, and a host that quickly felt like a friend right next door. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful property.
Close by attractions/activities: One block to the north are the Community Gardens and the Iris Gardens, both of which are next door to the North Boulder Recreation Center, which has all the usual facilities, such as lap pool, kid pool, gym, weight room, yoga and fitness classes, tennis and platform tennis courts, volley ball courts, sauna, etc.
Nine blocks straight west is Mount Sanitas and Dakota Ridge, with many miles of hiking/running trails. For single track and dirt road mountain biking, some of the best riding is also straight west of here, many great hour-long loops to be enjoyed, such as up to Betasso Preserve. A fifteen minute drive north brings you to some of the best single track riding around, like Heil Valley Ranch, which is connected to Hall Ranch. And, of course, there are a lot more rides. Five blocks west is the North Boulder Park, a huge open field typically filled with ultimate frisbee on the weekends. Five blocks south is the Casey soccer field and outdoor basketball court. Five blocks north are the Iris Baseball Fields.

2008 Miami Dolphins Season Odds
Ready for some football? The 2008-09 NFL Season is ready to kick off in September and oddsmakers have released individual odds for all 32 teams to win the Super Bowl. The Miami Dolphins are currently listed at 90/1.
Perhaps the Dolphins' biggest offseason acquisition was welcoming Bill Parcells into the front office. Parcells didn't stand pat either, inking free agents Justin Smiley (49ers), Ernest Wilford (Jaguars), Randy Starks (Titans) and Chris Crocker. Miami also landed arguably the best offensive line prospect in the 2008 NFL Draft in Michigan's Jake Long.
Not a lot of football analysts are high on the Dolphins this year, but that doesn't mean they don't think the team is on their way to improving. Parcells has eventually won wherever he's gone and the Dolphins had made strides to improving their overall talent level. The additions of Long, defensive end Phillip Merling and quarterback Chad Henne should make an impact now or in the near future.
Miami is a long shot at every major sports book. Current prices on the Dolphins' chances to win the 2009 Super Bowl range from 90/1 at Sportsbook.com and Bodog, and 99/1 at SBG Global.
Oddsmakers have also set the Dolphins' over/under total for wins in 2008 at 5.5, but clearly think Miami will lose more than 5.5 games considering the under pays out at –120 compared to -110 for the over.
The Dolphins have a lot of work to do in order to rebound from their 1-15 record from 2007, but they certainly hired the right man to turn this sinking ship around. Parcells has already put his mark on this team and will continue to do so throughout the year, getting this team competitive along the way. Teams going from last to first is a common practice in the NFL, so don't fall asleep on the Dolphins this year because they might surprise.

Alexander Calls for Best Ideas on "Simple Plan for Voluntary Savings that Employers Would Be More Likely to Adopt"
Thursday, January 31, 2013
Washington, D.C., January 31 – At a hearing today of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on retirement savings, Ranking Member U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), asked four expert witnesses to "start from scratch" and offer the committee a simple plan for voluntary savings that employers would be more likely to adopt.
"Because of the problems of complexity, legalese, and liability, there seem to be plenty of opportunities to make it easier for employees to choose plans to adequately save for their retirements," Alexander said.
Alexander suggested that the plan include automatic enrollment and automatic increases in levels of savings in order to increase the amount of money that employees would have for their retirement – in a case of automatic enrollment or increase the employee would immediately be able to opt-out of the contribution if the employee chose to do so, for whatever reason.
Alexander said that Social Security and the current number of private savings plans are not going to be enough to provide adequate retirement for many Americans --- just 68 percent of private-sector workers are employed at establishments that offer one or more retirement plans, according to the National Compensation Survey from March 2012.
"More and more Americans are becoming independent contractors or part-time employees and are not working for a company that will offer the plans," Alexander said.
He cautioned against new mandates on businesses saying, "small businesses are struggling with the cost of the health care law and cannot tolerate any new mandates to provide automatic savings accounts."
Providing an example at the hearing, Alexander said he recently met with a franchise group that owns nearly 20 fast food restaurants. The company, which has 542 full-time employees, faces 6.2 percent Social Security and Medicare taxes for each employee, a menu labeling mandate that costs $1,000 per restaurant, minimum wage mandates that cost nearly $25,000 a year, and paid sick leave mandates.
The health-care mandates will increase their costs: "They tell me they offer health care to all of their 542 employees but only 34 take it. If nothing changed next year—that is, if the health care law didn't come into effect—they would still be spending more than $94,000 in health care. Under the health care law, if they opt to pay the penalty, they'll be spending $1 million, instead of $94,000. That exceeds their entire [budgeted] net profit for the year 2013. If they were to decide to continue to offer health care, their costs would be between $400,000 and $1.4 million. You could apply the same sort of reasoning and statistics to a smaller company and come out with a similar result."
