posted at 12/1/2010 2:37 PM ESTBeautiful tree, Kar. I know you made the dollies and the snow flakes. Did you make the angel too?
I have a table cloth very similar. I bought it eons ago, and I really need a new one. It was used for the kiddie table, so there are lots of spills, I have a hard time to get off. But the kids don't mind. LOL
My tree is up and lit, but I still have to decorate it. Will take a pix when done.
Looks like you had a lot of fun decorating your home. :)

posted at 12/1/2010 3:11 PM ESTThank you, ladies! Gracie and I had good time - better than last year when she was into EVERYTHING as puppies are prone to do. Yes, I crocheted everything; the angel, snowflakes, and doily.
Warning, Pingo, if you go to Target to replace that table cloth, get a longer one than you need. I have to return this one; it shrunk in the wash by about 5 inches so the ends don't hang over the edge of the table.
I'm enjoying myself, but the day is flying by too fast. I still have to polish the silver (plated) set that came from DH's grandmother and clean so the decorations look good in a nice clean house. AND, start thinking about dinner really soon....where does the time go???
Thanks, again, everyone for sharing our home with us. :)

I didn't, but I can - - - I like that! I do think some of the staff do have a bit of fun with our avatars and noms from time to time. Probably a boring afternoon. They can change me back if they want.

posted at 12/1/2010 3:41 PM ESTtt, oh the horror shopping for boys that age...lol. All my son wants are video games oh and more video games. For his stocking I usually stick underwear and socks in there with some pencil erasers (he uses them like they were going out of style) and then a couple of things of candy. He's not big and candy and I don't want to get stuck eating it.

Thanks! I wish I could make them faster so I could sell them. They take about 30 hours, though, and I move right along.
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/1/2010 4:04 PM ESTIt's funny, Winter, when I was talking about stocking fillers with my son today, we talked about what they put in the kids stockings - candy! I'm horrified every time I hear that, I said, "Don't you remember how much fun opening your stocking the first thing Christmas morning was? All the little things in there?" At one time we even wrapped each thing in red or green tissue and tied them all together with red curling ribbon - probably because we didn't have much money and we wanted the boys to be able to open as many presents as possible. Then too, they could get up at 5 a.m. if they wanted and take their stocking to their room and open it, as long as they didn't get us up until at least 6:00. I told him today he's forgotten his humble beginnings and from whence he came. When he told me the price they paid for the Thanksgiving take out dinner for 6, I nearly fell off my chair. Told him next year he can pay me that and I'll cater their meal for them!

That angle is just --- beautiful. My grandmother used to make ornaments like this. She would starch them in sugar water. Is this what you do? Just look at the wings on your angle. How beautiful. I am so happy, that those old time crafts are not completely lost. Especially as a young lady like you, still honor them.

Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/1/2010 6:33 PM ESTOh tt, please don't get the chatters the wrong impression of me. I am not against cats at all. But when my sister's cat left 3 pieces of a tape worm on the bed, I was supposed to sleep in --- that really gave me the the creeps and antipathy of having cats in bedrooms.
My sister's cats were indoor during the day. Outdoor at night. May that makes a difference.
Our son has two very lovely indoor only cats. And I do love them. But they are not allowed on the kitchen counters and on tables. And that suits me just fine. So far, I have never seen them jump on the kitchen counter. My DIL uses a cleaner with a lemon scent, that cats apparently dislike.
- Pingo
In Response to Re: December Chat 2010:Reading your post, Amber - don't the cats paw the bulbs out of the bowl? Or, do you have well behaved cats that don't jump up on the kitchen table? Shhhh, don't let Pingo hear that I said that, she has a thing about cats on counters, tables, etc. so even tho they're Cloroxed a couple of times a day, I'd never be able to invite her here for a cuppa, 'cause my cat is everywhere.

Pingo, I don't think any of us cat owners "allow" our cat(s) on the tables or counters. Neither do I think that just because we reinforce this when we see it, does it keep them from going wherever they want when you're not around. When I'm in here on the computer lots of times I hear Cheerio jump down from somewhere - now that could only be a table or counter, so I know she's up there at some point. Hence the frequent wipe down of Clorox wipes, and hence, you and I will never be able to share a cuppa in my kitchen! You'd be too uncomfortable and that in turn would make me uncomfortable. We were meant to be just online friends! Don't think I gave anyone the impression that you don't like cats per se.

Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/2/2010 7:10 AM ESTMeant to mention too, Pingo, that Marshall's had some very nice looking table cloths yesterday. I didn't pay too much attention because I have a solid red cloth that I put a white lace one over each year. I think one cloth in front had a price of $14.99. Usually Marshall's are name brands, so I don't think you'd be so apt to run into a shrinkage problem.
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/2/2010 7:26 AM ESTWinter, thinking about gift buying for 10 yr. old boys - when I was having the stitches removed, nurse and I were talking about just that. She has a nephew that age, and said the one thing he does love if they're not too easy are the Lego sets they have now. She and a brother were going to chip in for one of the really big expensive ones for him. Forgot about that until I was talking with my DIL last night asking for hints of what to get her 10 yr. old grandson. Lo and behold she mentioned Lego buildings! I googled Amazon and see they have really expensive set ups for $60 - $70, but I'm sure if I go back in and scoot around I'll come up with something more in the $25 range that might be a challenge for him. - Just throwing that out there, might work for your son, and I'm going to check with youngest to see if his 10 yr. old might like a challenging one. I remember when he was younger, his mother loved to put them together, and the two of them would spend really quality time working on a project. Might work.
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/2/2010 8:20 AM ESTThank you mm and tt for both hints. Books and table cloth. Will check both out.
Also, Lego is always a hit at all ages. We have an entire closet full of them, enough to open a Lego store. My parents used to send them to our boys and got them the newest sets long before we could buy them here. It was a great hit with their friends. Once we had the floor of the family room covered with all kinds of set ups, pre-time, now-time and space - and boy did they play with that and what fantasies they had. Wish I had taken some videos of them playing with them.
For the older boys, there are also manuals one can buy, that give even more opportunities with the blocks, they already have. Then there are the stocking stuffers of the little people or small cars f.ex. - that always can be used with the larger sets.
Today is workday for me again. Want to go in early, so I can leave early. I just hate to drive home, when it is dark. Not that I am afraid of driving, but I feel so depressed, when it gets dark at 4.
You all have a great day - Pingo

Thank you, Dear. I've done my part to not let the craft die having taught about 10 girls how to crochet. I know at least one of them still does - she just asked my advice a month ago on a project and sent me photos of her beautiful finished piece (a purse). My grandmother always used sugar water, too, to stiffen the fine work, but I use a commercial stiffener called Stiffy.
Well, today I'm off to Target to return my shrunken tablecloth. I'll get the longer one and hope it shrinks just as much, or it'll be way too long. If I bemoan the extra trip, don't listen. I enjoy having a reason to get out of the house. ;)
I'm watching QVC, and they have what seem to be the loveliest flameless candles with chickadees or cardinals on the wax. Check 'em out online. I might have bought one of each, but they have a vanilla scent, and I'm allergic to fake vanilla. They even have a self timer! Why do they have to put scent in everything? Oh, well, it saves us $40.
Looks like a pretty day, yay! Yesterday, I had to push Gracie out the door to do her thing. She was so bored all day, stuck inside.

We were saying the very same thing when we went to the Christmas Festival last month. Were looking at some beautiful bees wax ornaments, G.T. was thinking of adding yet another tree decorated with just those, but they were all scented gingerbread! Really sickening when you were standing in the midst of a stall full of them on 3 sides. Unscented they would have been perfect.

posted at 12/2/2010 8:58 AM ESTThat was the case with my grandson, but I do remember how much he loved having his mother all to himself while SHE was actually putting the Pirates of the Caribbean together!
MY DIL mentioned a couple of other things I had never heard of: Backugons, Bionicles (Lego) and Tech Decks (skateboards for fingers). So at least I have a few options to check out. Trying to decide where to head after I have my second cup of coffee. Not Toys R Us, hate going in there, but maybe some local stores. Sometimes they have good sales on popular items too.

Imagine taking him for walkies! George the Great Dane is 7ft long, weighs 18stones and is the world's biggest dog… but he's terrified of Chihuahuas
By DAVE NASSER - Last updated at 12:37 AM on 23rd July 2011
- we saw George, our beloved Great Dane, he was no more than a tiny, cowering ball of fuzzy fur.
As my wife Christie opened the door of the crate he'd travelled in, he teetered to a standing position and looked out at us, moving his head slowly from side to side, taking in the wonder of it all.
Finally, as if weighing us up and deciding we were acceptable, he tentatively pushed his little nose forward and gave Christie her first lick.
Man's biggest friend: Devoted owner Dave Nasser with George, the world's biggest dog
Though it didn't really register, George's paws were comically large even then. But all we saw was this cute puppy.
We certainly never dreamed he would one day become the biggest dog in the world, standing nearly 4ft high at the shoulder, 7ft long and weighing nearly 18 stone. Right now, he just looked bewildered.
He came into our lives in January 2006, just a few months after we had married and set up home in Arizona. We both had busy jobs, Christie selling medical equipment while I was a property developer, but she had always planned that, once she had a house of her own, she would also have a dog.
A doggone miracle: George the Great Dane with the Nasser's daughter Annabel at home in Arizona
Puppy love: A young George with Dave's wife Christie. Even as a pup he had comically large paws
She wanted a Great Dane as they make great family pets, so we tracked down a litter of 13, born 1,000 miles away in Oregon. Their owner emailed us a photo showing a chaotic jumble of paws, snouts and tails.
Twelve were entangled with one another, but our eyes were drawn to one pup standing apart from the rest. He was clearly the runt, endearing him to Christie immediately.
George made the long journey from Oregon to Phoenix by plane and we picked him up from the freight area, tired but unshaken.
As soon as George settled into our home, we discovered our plans to be fair but firm parents were wishful thinking.
All the things that make Great Danes wonderful pets — their lack of aggression and their attachment to humans — make them more emotionally sensitive than other dogs.
They need to be with their 'pack' at all times and at night the cute pup with intensely blue eyes turned into a caterwauling banshee whenever we tried to leave him alone in the kitchen.
Magnificent: George measures more than 7ft from nose to tail and weighs 18st
No matter how much we reminded ourselves that he had every home comfort (warm dog bed, warm blanket, warm kitchen, squeaky bone), each whimper created a picture in our heads of a tragic, abandoned pup, desperate for his mother.
Eventually, we gave in and shunted George's dog bed into our bedroom. In the coming months, Christie really threw herself into being a mum to George. As well as a photo album, he had a growth chart — we were soon reading it in awe.
At five months he still acted like a puppy, chasing his tail and playing games of fetch and tug-of-war with his favorite bit of rope. But he was already the size of a fully-grown Labrador.
He was putting on more than a pound a day and he bounded around like Bambi, skittering on our wooden floors and hurling himself at everything he fancied, including us humans. His displays of affection could leave you pinned temporarily against a wall or a piece of furniture.
His size did not go unnoticed in the outside world. Our local park had a section for puppies but we were bullied out of it by other owners, who were scared George would hurt their pups, — but the opposite was true.
The smaller dogs ran around and under him, and he'd be constantly sidestepping them, obviously anxious and jittery. Slowly we realized that our enormous puppy was a big softie. Besides his terror of being left alone, he had a fear of water.
He'd growl anxiously at the side of our swimming pool, alarmed that his 'pack' members would so willingly place themselves in danger of drowning.
If the pool was his most-hated place, his favorite was our bedroom. Eventually he outgrew the single mattress we placed there for him and preferred instead the comfort of our king-sized bed — sprawling between us like some over-indulged prince while we spent half the night clinging onto the edges.
Paws for thought: George's giant feet dwarf Dave's hand
In the summer of 2006, we solved this problem by buying him his own queen-sized mattress, which he still sleeps on today at the bottom of our bed.
But soon we encountered another challenge as George reached doggie puberty. Once he had grabbed life by the lapels, now he was grabbing onto legs — table legs, chair legs, human legs, he wasn't picky — and doing what all male dogs do with the vigour of a canine giant.
He calmed down in the furniture department after we had him neutered, but then he took up a new hobby, eating as if it were an Olympic sport.
A sausage on the barbecue was like a siren to a passing sailor. You couldn't turn your back for a minute. And he was so tall that he actually had to bend down to pinch food off kitchen counters.
He could reach the high shelves as well, so we had to hide everything away in cupboards. Soon, he was getting through around 100lb of dry dog food every month.
As he approached his first birthday in November 2006, weighing about 14 stone, it was getting physically impossible to make him go anywhere he didn't want to — including the vet's surgery. He had not forgotten the time he went there in possession of his manhood — and came out less than whole.
As soon as he recognised the entrance, he refused to move. So I had to take him around to the less familiar back door instead.
For all these troubles, George gave us plenty in return, not least the following year when Christie lost the baby she was carrying.
Evidently tuned in to her grief, George was a constant presence at her side. When she sat, he sat too. When she stood, he stood and padded alongside her to wherever she was going.
His personality grew more delightful the bigger he got. A male Great Dane typically weighs from nine to 11 stone, but by Christmas 2007 George weighed 15 stone — bigger than most men. At this point, he loved being chauffeured around in my golf cart and would sit in it, his haunches on the seat and front legs on the floor.
By Christmas 2008, our canine colossus weighed 18 stone. A friend suggested he might be a contender for the Guinness Book Of Records, but we had other things to think about: Christie had discovered that she was pregnant again.
With size comes problems: George the giant barely fits in the back of his owner's SUV
The trouble was, when our daughter Annabel arrived that September George made it clear he wanted nothing to do with this interloper. He was used to spending nights in delightful oblivion at the foot of our bed. Annabel's high-decibel presence simply wasn't on.
When she cried, he'd wake, harrumph and then turn over in annoyance. Once it was clear the racket was going to continue, he'd exhale heavily again, till one of us finished that mysterious feeding thing we did with the noisy intruder.
But while he might not have cared much for Annabel, George loved her dolls, especially a stuffed green one that played a nursery rhyme when squeezed. Whenever he could, he placed it between his paws and pressed it so he could hear the tune.
It was like a security blanket. It was a period of such big adjustment for him that if it made him happy, then it was fine by us and our patience was rewarded.
Slowly, George understood that Annabel was our pack's youngest member and in need of his affection and protection. And on Christmas morning, he ended his three-month sulk, acknowledging her presence with a lick of her hand. It was the best present we could have had — although the beginning of 2010 brought more good news.
Over the previous weeks, while Annabel slept, Christie had applied to the Guinness World Records people on George's behalf. That February, one of their adjudicators came to watch George being measured in the presence of a vet. He was officially declared not just the world's tallest living dog (43 inches from paw to shoulder) but the tallest dog ever.
The following week we flew to Chicago to appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show and were put up in one of the city's most luxurious hotels. We had a huge sitting room, dining area and even a bar — but there was just one problem. There was nowhere for George to sleep.
As we enjoyed a gourmet meal and a bottle of red wine that night, he struggled to settle on two roll-out divans provided for him. Infuriatingly, they wouldn't stay together. So he had his head on one and back end on the other, but his stomach was sagging onto the carpet.
'You know what we need to do,' I joked. 'Give George our bed to sleep on and have the divans in this room ourselves.'
Christie looked at me with a telltale gleam in her eye and I knew immediately my joke had been a fatal error. An hour later, our boy was sprawled in splendor in our huge, fluffy king-size bed.
'Well,' whispered Christie, 'George is the star here, after all.' She was right, of course, and since his appearance on TV, Giant George has built a following around the world, with his own fan club, website and 70,000 fans on Facebook.
None of this, of course, means anything to George. He still spends his days doing what he has always liked best: eating, playing and sleeping.
Our cherished pet may have become a global celebrity — but really, he's just one of the family.

Save a Life…Adopt Just One More…Pet!
Everyday we read or hear another story about pets and other animals being abandoned in record numbers while at the same time we regularly hear about crazy new rules and laws being passed limiting the amount of pets that people may have, even down to one or two… or worse yet, none.
Nobody is promoting hoarding pets or animals, but at a time when there are more pets and animals of all types being abandoned or being taken to shelters already bursting at the seams, there is nothing crazier than legislating away the ability of willing adoptive families to take in just one more pet!!
Our goal is to raise awareness and help find homes for all pets and animals that need one by helping to match them with loving families and positive situations. Our goal is also to help fight the trend of unfavorable legislation and rules in an attempt to stop unnecessary Euthenization!!
"All over the world, major universities are researching the therapeutic value of pets in our society and the number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental institutions which are employing full-time pet therapists and animals is increasing daily." ~ Betty White, American Actress, Animal Activist, and Author of Pet Love

...of how fast things can happen in the woods. Yesterday, around mid-morning, I was starting to get a little tired and the elk weren't buggling much. I paused on a bench near the bottom of a canyon, stood there flat-footed without an arrow nocked and cow talked hoping to hear a buggle in return. Instead, I almost immediatly saw movement about 70 yards below me as a bull came straight up the hill toward me on the trot. I grabbed some cover, got an arrow out of the quiver. I had it nocked by the time he was about 20 yards away, but still comming. He stopped 10 yards away and looked around. At one point he looked directly at me, and then looked away. I was debating on what to do. His body language said that he was unaware that anything was amiss. I knew he'd at least look right at me if I drew, but thought maybe he wouldn't run. At any rate, I drew and, you guessed it, he wheeled and ran.
I usually nock an arrow and at least stand in a spot where I can take cover quickly before I call, but didn't that time. The moral to the story is that things can happen fast, so be ready. Darn it, could have had him!

Hamilton was strong all day on hotlap pace and race pace, coming on the radio at one stage and praising the life left in his Pirelli tyres. The Briton, with a best time of 1.38.673, was the fastest of the quartet that emerged as the most likely to challenge for pole position, with Vettel next up, followed by Nico Rosberg and Mark Webber. With a mere 0.171 of a second separating the top four, the scene is set for a Red Bull versus Mercedes shootout for pole, and perhaps even a battle for top honours on race day. Sebastian Vettel second fastest in FP2 Hamilton was pleased after a day's graft at the empty confines of the circuit near Mokpo, "It's been a good day. I feel like I have a bit of a better foundation this weekend. I can't remember the last time I had a really strong Friday." Vettel was also content and declared, "I am pretty happy. I think it will be very close this weekend with Mercedes." Felipe Massa emerged as best of the rest with the fifth best time, almost half a second down on Hamilton's best, with Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso seventh after being baulked during his flying lap by traffic, according to his team. Splitting the reds in sixth was Romain Grosjean who again is looking more comfortable, and faster, than Lotus teammate Kimi Raikkonen who walked away from a pretty heavy shunt at the very end of FP1. The Finn is again not looking very comfortable in the cockpit of the E21, and is at times ragged which is not his custom. He was eighth fastest, and a second down on the top time. Jenson Button was ninth fastest in FP2 The McLaren crew spent a lot of time fussing over Jenson Button's cockpit, after he set the ninth best time in the session, teammate Sergio Perez was 12th. The Force India pair Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta, who have their sights on beating McLaren, were 10th and 11th respectively, splitting their targeted rivals. As the track rubbered-in the pace increased by about a second across the board, but once again the absence of spectators at the Korean International Circuit was blatant. (GP247) Subbed by AJN.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis -- Treatment
In this article
The main treatment goals with rheumatoid arthritis are to control inflammation and slow or stop the progression of RA.
Treatment is usually a multifaceted program that consists of medications, occupational or physical therapy, and regular exercise. Sometimes, surgery is used to correct joint damage. Early, aggressive treatment is key to good results. And with today's treatments, joint damage can be slowed or stopped in many cases.
Drugs for Rheumatoid Arthritis
As part of rheumatoid arthritis treatment, your doctor will probably prescribe a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). These drugs reduce pain and inflammation but do not slow progression of RA. Therefore, people with moderate to severe RA often require additional drugs to prevent further joint damage.
Over-the-counter NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) and naproxen sodium (Aleve). Most people with RA require a prescription NSAID as they offer a higher dose with longer lasting results and require fewer doses throughout the day. There are many prescription NSAIDs to choose from.
All prescription NSAIDs carry a warning regarding the increased risk of heart attack and stroke. NSAIDs can also raise blood pressure. In addition, NSAIDs can cause stomach irritation, ulcers, and bleeding.
You and your doctor can weigh the benefits of NSAIDs against the potential risks. You may have to try a few different ones to find the one that's right for you.
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) help slow or stop progression of RA. Methotrexate is usually the first DMARD used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. If methotrexate alone doesn't calm the inflammation, doctors may try a different type of DMARD. Other DMARDs include Arava, Azulfidine, and Plaquenil.
In rheumatoid arthritis, an overactive immune system targets joints and other areas of the body. DMARDs work to suppress the immune system. However, they aren't selective in their targets. Thus, while they can increase the risk of infections, they also cause a wide variety of other side effects.
DMARDs, particularly methotrexate, have produced dramatic improvements in severe rheumatoid arthritis and can help preserve joint function.
Xeljanz is a different type of DMARD. Because it affects a specific part of the immune system involved in RA, it also increases the chance of a serious infection.

Daniel McBreen to join Central Coast as planned
Daniel McBreen will end his spell with Perth Glory and join Central Coast Mariners as planned.
Former Mariners coach Lawrie McKinna arranged to sign the 32-year old during the season on a pre-contract when he was with North Queensland Fury before he moved to Perth on a short-term deal.
After McKinna left his role as coach and took up the football operations manager job it was unsure if McBreen's contract with the Mariners would still be valid but new coach Graham Arnold has assured him he is a wanted man.
"The only way I was ever going to come (back) to Perth was if Arnie came in and said I wasn't wanted at Central Coast," McBreen told Perth Now.
"But we've sat down and had a chat and he said I'm definitely part of his plans so he wasn't getting rid of me. It's all positive and I'm looking forward to it."
McBreen had a successful stint with the Glory, scoring five goals in six matches and earning himself a Socceroos call-up. He said no matter how short his stay was, he would always remember it is a good time.
"If I hadn't gone there I don't think it would have happened (making a Socceroos squad) so I'll always look back on it fondly and I had a good time even though it was short and sweet," McBreen added.

$300m is more than enough to cover make whole. That's about $180m this year and $120m next year (or with lost games $130, 120,50). After 2 years all the players contracts should fit under 50% split and all existing contracts should be being paid in full anyway.
Linking that to 5 years seems stupid to me too.We don't know if the NHL has spotted some killer flaw they aren't letting on about that 6+ deals can exploit (I can't find it). We aren't in the rooms so we have no real idea. Is the NHL is playing hardball? Is NHLPA is playing games? Has Fehr's entire game plan always been to decertify and the negotiations are just a front to make it look like he tried?
Anyway I'm surprised they haven't murdered each other.

Dude be positive !
Looks like a nice template, certainly interesting and from the front end it seems to show that some good hard work was poured into it.
POSITIVITY is the key to SUCCESS … Just a thought for the day
I do like the template, looks very functional and easy to use (configuration wise).
From my personal opinion, and i'll give it to you straight out as there is no point in beating around the bush, i'm not too keen on the design (layout, functionality – yes i like it) the colors and overall theme aren't just suited to me.
Cool thanks guys. I like the tips too, I will be positive!
I dont like things sugar coated and I am glad you didnt. I will keep the design ideas in mind for the next theme. I have noticed most of the designs here are similar as far as sharp lines and subtle graphics. I like this too but thought I would try something different. I wanted to keep in this yoga theme so I was thinking natural and clean. Thats why I chose the sky blue going to beige and the texture at the bottom is like a yoga mat. The next theme I upload will be a stark contrast to this one.
Thanks again.
Quick question – About how long does it take for files to be approved? I have been in 1 of 2 queue since upload long time ago.
I think they review once / day .. so its always less than 24 hours .. but its currently saturday in australia so maybe we will have to wait sunday night ..
Welcome to the forest Liquidvx!
If you uploaded it today I believe the review will be made on Monday.
Now about your theme. I do love the overall design, but I think there is a little more work that can be done. Here are some that I found. Note that this is just my opinion.
1) The curl you made on the white background makes the content look crooked. I really don't think you need the curl in your design.
2) The header width and the content width seems different. It might be nice to align them. (Header seems a little shorter)
3) The footer links have a padding on the left. It will be nice to have it aligned with the titles.
4) Maybe having a arrow next to the navigation that has a sub-navigation would be nice. It's really hard to notice if there is a sub-navigation.
Hope this helps!
Generally, all templates are reviewed within 24 hours. Weekends can be a bit longer, but not always.
Awesome, thanks for the replies guys. I like the suggestions made for change which makes me wonder another question.
After submitting a file is it possible to revise it? If a file is revised does it need to be resubmitted?. I read the selling FAQ but did not find these answers.
Yes. You can resubmit your theme. If it's still on the waiting for a review delete the file you had submitted and make a new upload.

(Makes 12)

Break up the shreaded wheat in to a bowl.
Break the chocolate up in to a measuring jug and melt down in a pan of boiling water. Stir in the honey.
Mix the melted chocolate in with the shreaded wheat and sprinkle in the sesame seeds.
Place a spoonful of mixture in to a cupcake case and press down a well in the center.
Add a few mini eggs and leave to set.
On my one of these I used cornflakes and golden syrup
can i use something else than shreaded wheat??? o.O cool project!!!:3
Adorable! Now I can't wait for spring!
My hsband made a version of these on Easter Sunday. He made ordinary spnge fairy cakes, iced them with belgian choc buttercream icing then made mini nests with shredded wheat and melted Mars Bars then... popped a chocolate egg in! They were SICKLY SWEET but AMAZING!! :o)
I made these for easter today and they ended up really cool, ialso drizzled them with white choc. to add more flavor and they were a big hit!
yum! these look amazing!!!!
i made mine with coconut instead of the wheat stuff. i'd post a picture, but they where eaten quiet quickly.
Yes they do harden, I don't usually keep them in the cases either.
Do they harden after a while? because I think they would look so much cuter without the cupcake cases.(not that they're not cute already)Love this idea anyways!
A friend just shared this with me, and I just shared this idea with aother friend. Very cute.
But not just for springtime! Summertime ~ fill with fresh strawberries and add a dollop of freshly whipped cream. What a wonderful blend of flavors and textures! Winter holidays ~ fill with glistening sugar gum drops and add a few whole cashews. Autumn ~ black and orange jelly beans. I can't wait!

I watched a preview of this last week and it looks fantastic.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
My dad was in the Marine Corp. in WWII and fought in the Pacific. He was in the 4th Marine Div. and was in on the landings on Roi-Namur, Saipan, and Tinian in the Marianas. He caught Dengue fever there and got send to Hawaii and missed the Iwo Jima landings. His unit got pretty chewed up there.
I still have all of his Marine Corp. books with photos and all that (he died in 1994). I'll be interested to see if this series is all historically accurate.

The Pacific is based primarily on two memoirs of U.S. Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie.[3] The series will tell the stories of the two authors and Marine John Basilone, as the war against the Empire of Japan rages.
Given the literary sources mentioned above, the series will feature well-known battles involving the 1st Marine Division, such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, as well as Basilone's involvement in the Battle of Iwo Jima.

First reviews are starting to come in
Review: HBO's 'The Pacific'
Barry Garron has posted his review of HBO's "The Pacific." I just finished watching last week and my opinion of the project went way up from the two-episode rough-cut I saw last month, which was exposition-heavy to the point where even Tom Hanks was complaining about the cut at TCA.
"The first two episodes are the weakest," assured HBO insiders at the time.
I was doubtful -- we hear that sort of thing a lot -- but the executives were right.
When the final cut was delivered, the clunky exposition was cut out. And after the first two couple hours, the immediacy and writing improved.
Is "The Pacific" as strong as its predecessor, arguably the best miniseries of all time, "Band of Brothers"?
No. It's uneven, with a weaker group of supporting characters (one big exception -- Rami Malek as Merriell "Snafu" Shelton is utterly hypnotic, like Gollum from "Lord of the Rings" reincarnated as a morally ambiguous Marine).
Another point of comparison: For better or worse, "The Pacific" is far more graphic than "BOB." Dismembered limbs flying, Marines cutting gold teeth from dead (and not quite dead) Japanese soldiers, a scene involving an open skull cavity that I won't even describe.
One episode -- Part Nine -- deserves special praise. Directed by "Sopranos" veteran Tim Van Patten, this penultimate hour, set on the island of Okinawa, is the most harrowing and revolting depiction of war I've ever seen. As a self-contained hour of drama, it's a masterpiece and alone worth the price of admission.
So my bottom line: "The Pacific" is a must-see. But if you're a "Band of Brothers" fan, set your expectations accordingly.
Here's some of Barry's take....
The result is "The Pacific," also 10 parts but in some ways as different in its approach to the material as the jungle warfare of the Pacific was from the more conventional fighting in Europe. Both miniseries are infused with raw, powerful stories of personal triumph and adversity, but "Pacific" feels more random and more contained. Each episode is so completely built on discreet incidents that a strong case can be made for calling this a limited series.
But call it what you will, it is a gem of a production and would be a highlight of any TV season. "Pacific," in its totality, conveys a sense of the combat experience that is as complete and realistic as any work of film could be. From the harrowing nighttime battles with a deadly but invisible enemy to the sheer misery of the punishing jungle climate to the macho posturing of the young American fighters, "Pacific" omits nothing.
Where "Band of Brothers" adapted Stephen Ambrose's saga of a single unit, "Pacific" melds the memories of three authors: Robert Leckie, Eugene B. Sledge and Chuck Tatum. Leckie and Sledge become two of the three principal characters; the third is John Basilone. During the course of the war, the paths of these three Marines cross, but each has his own circle of friends and unique set of circumstances.
Bump, Just wondering how many people are watching and what they think. I think it is just ok, the last episode #4 was the strongest so far and has me wanting to watch this weeks episode. While a bit disappointed with it I find it is still better than 90% of what is on tele now.
When I see the 2015 Reds, I see a 100 loss team.
I've been watching. Like the review above says, it's not Band of Brothers, but without that to compare it to it's pretty darn good.

It is picking up. I really like it. It's not Band of Brothers, but I think that works. It's much more personal and it gaining steam in the last two weeks big time.

I'm going to pick up both Sledge's book and Robert Leckie's. I've got two or three of Leckie's history text books from college, and they're good reads.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
I just finished watching The Pacific on DVD and thought it was pretty incredible. It's inevitably going to be compared to Band of Brothers, and it's difficult to ever live up to that. But had this come first, we would have been just as in awe of it as we were BoB.
Was it as "good"? Probably not, but it wasn't far off. I thought this one was more "impactful" as I watched it from beginning to end. The pacific war was a different animal than Europe and I thought Spielberg captured the brutality of that one about as well as it can be captured on a screen. I also think this one did a better job overall at portraying the way war can change a person in the story of Eugene Sledge.
Episode 9 in Okinawa was probably the best and most powerful episode amongst either mini-series. That episode alone was worth the entire 10 hours.

I loved both, caught Band of Brothers on HBO ondemand the month or so prior to The Pacific coming out, then watched that over the next couple of months, so I got to compare the two in a similar time frame.
I think Band of Brothers tells a better story, but it also has the advantage of being part of the battle that more of us know about. For whatever reason, the pacific battle is lost in History in a sense comparred to the attention that the European front has recieved. So from that standpoint, The Pacific needed to concentrate a bit more on the background of each episode, and had less time to focus in on the "story of the individuals" which helps move a movie along better (IMHO). The Pacific was more graphic; the author of Band of Brothers (Stephen Ambrose?) wanted BoB to be largely showable in a classroom setting, wanted limited cursing or over the top violence, which again allowed the show to get more into the story of the individuals.
In the end though, I think I got more out of the Pacific. While the discovery and releasing of the jewish prisoners was a moving and key story line, and even taught me something I had not known (spolier alert: like the soilders being forced to take food back from the prisoners for fear that giving them too much food in their state would cause their stomachs to explode) has been largely covered, while the battle amongst civilians in Okinawoa (sp?) w/ civilians running out b/w battles to avoid fire from the japanese side was something I had never heard before. The Pacific gave me knowledge that history class or previous movies have never told me (perhaps I wasn't paying close enough attention)
I think both are excellant, and both are worth watching and both provide depth that your typical 2 hour movie can't match. HBO usually does things right anytime they make a series (save "The comback") and I was pleased to see HBO live up to their billing with both of these shows.
I think that's a really good way to put it. I, too, "got more out of" The Pacific as well. I recognize that BoB had the better plot to follow, was more linear, and was an overall better piece of cinema. But The Pacific was more powerful, IMO.
I think over the years, I'll wind up watching The Pacific more often than BoB.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/pos...i-hero-co.htmlDick Winters, a decorated Army officer whose World War II service was recounted in the best-selling book and HBO mini-series "Band of Brothers," died Jan. 2. News reports listed his age at 92.
That's very sad! A truly great american. I read his war memoir and I'd recommend it for those who want to know more about him.

I'm very sorry to hear about his passing. Dick Winters was the definition of a real American hero IMO. Just a great man in all things he did.
I wrote to him a number of years ago to express my appreciation and admiration to him. He sent me a very nice letter back with a picture of himself. It wasn't long after that he and his wife said they had to quit responding back to all the letters they received. The BoB series had overwhelmed them with letters and request for book signings. Also he had been diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. So they wanted some peaceful times with the remaining years they had left.
R.I.P. Major Winters, you were a real American hero that no one should forget.

RIP Dick Winters. I am in awe of the people of his generation.

In need of crits and suggestions
something is wrong with the hip, but I don't quite know where to start fixing.
The pose is getting challenging to get it right, i will double check with a mirror as well.
And anything else is welcomed, as I am still trying to complete this image and move on.

I dont see anything wrong with the hips right now, but his torso looks a litte too short? Oh and his eyes seems to be too far from each other, and his right palm is too long. You could use some more color in the skin. Otherwise, its looking good

i had my bro pose for me... (should have done it before i start) and realized some of the problems.
new adjustments in place... keep going.
Parsakoira: thanks for the crit, I will look into them.

lengthen the body. I am changing the pose.

i'd say the eyes are too wide. His jaw could be bigger, right now his face is kinda long and thin. Also the hair feels a bit plastic, not like hair, and it does not match the textured wall behind him. other than that i think the pic is kinda cool, keep workin on it!

Would he walk upon the water If he couldnt walk away?
And would you, Would you carry the torch for me?

This is a pretty good start. I think you need a much harsher light on his clothes. That beam of light coming down is very intense but there's almost no indication of it on his clothes. You do have some on the face but not enough. The other thing that feels off is the direction of the light. You have it coming down meeting the corner of his shoulder yet his face is getting it but it's completely in shadow? move that beam of light over to about the ear or so. That might help. It just looks funny.
The lower right corner whith the orangish floor should be changed in tone. Make it more of a wood color or something similar to what you have on the floor in shadow. The light will be hitting it of course but you get my drift.

thanks for the detailed feedback RoboBobo. I will get to work on it.
July 3rd, 2008 #8
Working after the feedback-
I curved the value a bit, now it's getting a lot brighter.
Added more lights to the jacket. (need to work on the pants and shoe)
I am going to leave the eyes the way it is, and the bright splash of colors that doesn't make logical sense,
calling it a stylistic choice until I start hating it. (but I would like to keep the lighting, texture, material, and overall body proportion near as realistic as I can.)
Ideally.... I wanted the bright side of his face to receive lighting from the intense lit wall.... but if that doesn't work I will move it up once more.
I will keep working on the hair... to sort of give it a gelled hair look (or else how can I justify this hair do...)

The paramilitary Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will raise a unit of 1,000 men that will take over the protection of all VIPs in the country who need Z+ security. There are 37 VIP/VVIPs with Z+ security, each of who needs 20 bodyguards at any point, besides separate guards at home.
There are too many policemen guarding too many VIPs, and in the process ignoring the citizens of India and the investigation of crimes. India already suffers from a massive shortage of policemen on the streets: The government has sanctioned about 145 policemen per 1 lakh people, but there are only 117 policemen per 1 lakh people. The UN has mandated a figure of 220 policemen per 1 lakh.
Worse, too many of our policemen are sucked into guarding VIPs, which many don't need, but insist on as a status symbol. Just a few days ago, the government approved Z+ security to Union minister Beni Prasad Verma, going against its earlier promise to cut down the number of VIPs with Z+ security. It is this lack of policemen on the roads that allows men to gang rape and murder women, whether in Delhi or Mumbai.
A completely separate team to guard VIPs will free the cops to police the streets and investigate crimes, If funding is separated, it will ensure that money meant for the policemen is not spent on VIP security. This CISF move is welcome and it would benefit all Indians if it were implemented across India.
