500 - 1,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Paul Dennis
- Love the app! Best one of its kind!! Developer did an AWESOME job!! Droid X.
- This is EXACTLY what I needed. I wanted an app I could run on my phone while I was sleeping that would allow ONLY important numbers to ring.....others to be ignored and silenced. This works flawlessly......love it. Its easy to setup as well....absolutely fabulous program.
- I hate spending money for cell phone apps and I'll tell you this is the best 5 bucks I've ever spent on any phone for any reason. This app works great.
- Had this for 1.5 years on m y droid 2 global and is by far the best ring filter I have ever used.
- Love this! Not only can I bock unwanted calls, but schedule times for certain callers! Very cool!
- Works perfectly! Couldn't ask for more. Now I can sleep without worrying I'll miss a call or leave volume on and lose sleep. not to mention I can set vibrate for some contacts while at work and school. Well worth the money!
• IF YOU DON'T LOVE RINGFILTER, RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND FOR UP TO 60 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE! JUST CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW WHY YOU DIDN'T WANT IT! (Note: You will not be able to use RingFilter after the refund) IMPORTANT: RingFilter no longer Blocks calls in version 2.3 or later due to security changes made by Android. However, it DOES SEND TO VOICEMAIL.
• RingFilter gives you true freedom with a cell phone. It's the most comprehensive, flexible Ringer Control program available. Schedule who can Call or Text!
• Please contact me with any questions or comments! I'd be happy to help or answer questions! Just email firstname.lastname@example.com.
RingFilter is a Whitelist and Blacklist program in one! Incoming Call options include
• Allow
• Silence
• Send to voicemail
• Block
Incoming Texts
• Allow
• Silence
Controlling who may Call and Text can be done at the following levels:
• Individual Contacts
• Number Prefix (Any number that begins with your chosen Number Prefix will be controlled exactly how you choose)
• Calls from Any Contact
• Texts from Any Contact
• Calls from Unknown Numbers
• Texts from Unknown Numbers
• Calls from Restricted Numbers (Private or Withheld Numbers, in which the caller does not supply their phone number)
• RingFilter gives you complete control over who may Call or Text you at any given time and day, and can accompany almost any scenario of exactly who you want to be able to call you or text you. Once set up, RingFilter will monitor incoming Calls and Texts at the SCHEDULES you specify, and for the times that you do NOT want it to monitor, you won't know it is installed and will not affect your phone at all!
• Some programs have an issue where the phone Vibrates or Rings for a very short period. RingFilter will ALWAYS catch a Call or Text before the phone Vibrates or Rings.
• This takes the idea of Do Not Disturb to a whole new level, so you can work, sleep, etc. in peace and quiet, while still knowing that the people that you want to be able to contact you will ALWAYS be able to do so
• Set RingFilter to only allow your phone to ring at night when your family members Call or Text you, and to silence everyone else. When you wake up, you may then check your missed calls and voicemails the same way as you normally would.
• Shows a Notification Icon When monitoring, which you can turn off.
• You don't have to have the conflict of whether to turn off your phone and miss important calls, or leave it on and be disturbed, ever again!
• If you need to quickly Silence ALL Calls and Texts, simply turn on Silent Override. Tap it again and everything is back to normal!
• If you have any questions on the required permissions before you buy, feel free to contact me.

Tags: zeroio, howtosolvesecurityexceptionmodify_phone_stateproblem, to tell phone not to ring while sleeping, ringfilter, ring filter, app for droid that overrides sleep.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Android 3.0 and later might need to use Force Phone Ring within Options for Allowed Calls to ring.
• Android 3.0 and later, fixed issue of quickly vibrating on notifications when RingFilter was monitoring whether allowed or not.
• License check is less intrusive. If license is valid, only checks every year.
• Fixed issue when other SMS apps are installed, such as GO SMS Pro, so that RingFilter now works when they're installed.
• Fixed Force Close on allowed Restricted Call
(72 stars)
Ring filter silences everything except for the alarm and people i allow 24hr access.

This application really works as advertised! The writer of the application/program is very hands on. He responds to questions and even offers assistace. As a courier and on call, nightly, I only needed my phone to alert me for work calls and text messages, and of course my family, so I could actually sleep and only be awoken by work and or family and not by everyone. Thanks to this app, I can do t

The UAE is spending US$40 billion on oil and gas projects between 2010-2014 and gas projects in the emirate of Abu Dhabi is taking the lion's share of the package with US$25 billion.
With this, the UAE ranks first in the GCC region where the value of oil and gas projects between 2010-2014 total US$75 billion, according to Mohammed Sahoo Al Suwaidi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd (GASCO) in a press briefing to announce that Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) will become an annual event from 2013.
"The Habshan-Fujairah pipeline to export Abu Dhabi's oil to the world bypassing the Strait of Hormuz will be operational on the end of the current month.. The construction of the pipeline has been completed and the construction of some of its facilities is being finalised in the meantime," Al-Suwaidi added.
Al-Suwaidi also announced plans by the government of the emirate of Abu Dhabi to build an LNG (liquefied natural gas) bunker station in Fujairah to meet 15% of the UAE's increasing demand on gas as a result of industrial expansion.
The new station will be built by an alliance between the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) and Mubadala.
Through these projects, Abu Dhabi seeks to provide gas supplied to Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad) and Industrial City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD) as well as to cities in the northern regions, Al-Suwaidi noted adding that between 75 to 80% of the current domestic demand on gas is met by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) through its operating companies as the remaining 20% is provided by Dolphin Energy Limited from the Qatari Ash-shamal Field.

I've been following the Wild Atlantic Way down the west side of Ireland and worked my way to lovely County Cork and into Drimoleague, where I have been invited to visit Top of the Rock – Pod Pairc & Walking Centre. Drimoleague is 20km from Bantry going due east on R586.
Top of the Rock Pod Pairc
Following the signs north on the well-marked route from town center, I worked my way up the hillside to Top of the Rock, owned by David and Elizabeth Ross. This is a small working farm in an idyllic location with marvelous little cabins (pods), perfect for travelers, walkers and families. The farm is a restoration of his grandfather's farm who settled here in 1920.
David and Elizabeth are the perfect hosts - with hospitality a-plenty and a wonderful knowledge of the West Cork area. Looking for places to walk or visit - just ask. There are walks of all lengths with sights to suit anyone. Hiking books and maps are available to purchase in the guest center as well. David's separate Top of the Rock Walking Tour's website has more information available on the walks starting from the Pod Pairc.
The guest center serves as a dining area upstairs as well as a reception area. Downstairs you'll find a game room with pool table and ping-pong table. There's a large laundry room as well as men's and women's shower facilities. For anyone who wants to prepare their own meals, there's a large kitchen with gas and electric stoves, refrigerator and freezer.
Top of the Rock is known as the "Walkers' Junction of West Cork." Because you can walk in any direction, your biggest decision will be "Which way today?" There are about 300km of dedicated walking trails that anyone can enjoy in West Cork…and lucky for you, I think David knows them all and can give suggestions.
How to choose a walk?
Want to hear about many of the walks available as part of the Drimoleague Heritage Walkways? David Ross narrated a series of ten 15-minute recordings you can download to provide further insight into the wonders of each walk. Click here to give a listen.
David was kind enough to custom design a whirlwind tour for this journalist, who wanted to see everything, but had very little time to actually walk the trails and soak up all the countryside had to offer. You'd do yourself a disservice to do what I did, the paths are incredible and you'll want to savor every step and discover West Cork's treasures slowly.
World's best Panna Cotta
Our first stop was a visit to his brother's Glenilen Farm where I got to sample some of his dairy products. To say his Panna Cotta was the best I've ever had is an understatement. I had the Coconut & Passion Fruit which was out of this world.
Their yogurt is packed in 160g. glass jars with the natural fruit layered at the bottom, and has zero additives or artificial flavors. Don't leave Drimoleague without picking up some of their products. You can thank me later.
Down to the river, we glimpsed Castle Donovan, one of the many charming scenes on the popular St. Finbarr's 34km Pilgrim Walk. Walking across the stone Ahanfunsion Bridge (originally built in 1830) we explored the much more current, gently arched, wooden Manager's Bridge.
What kind of animal is that?
Up another hill we found our way to the most enchanting of all the walks I did in Ireland this year – the Waterfall Farm and its Alpaca Walk. We couldn't start the walk without first meeting Emma & Markus Bird, owners of this little bit of heaven. They are still developing this as an attraction for individual walkers as well as school groups.
Waterfall Farm has a variety of animals from Flemish Giant and French Lop rabbits to goats to the ungainly but loveable looking alpacas. Cautious but curious, the alpacas will certainly want to look you over.
Starting out at some of Ireland's remaining standing stones, the one mile trail leads you past the pens of the male and female alpacas, past the donkeys, along some joyous looking Yellow Gorse shrubs, and down to the river. It's here the real fun starts.
Walking along the stream, there are dozens of mini-rapids where the water spills quickly over rocks and makes the most remarkable and relaxing sounds. Wending your way through flower patches, under blossom-filled trees and over stone-step bridges, you'll find your way to a mighty waterfall that feeds this entire area. If you want to linger awhile, you'll find Ally's gazebo tucked away nearby.
Can stones really stand?
Some distance away, we visited the Maughanasilly Stone Row which has been taking visitors since 1600BC. If you come here every 18-1/2 years (the length of the full lunar cycle) you'll discover that the stones are perfectly aligned with the most northerly point of the moon's rising. Ever wonder how the Bronze Age people got so smart without the Internet?
Irish males and Irish tales
Another short drive and we met Dan Sullivan and his restored Carriganass Castle tower house (built in 1541.) This was originally a five-story castle and eventually enclosed by a stone fort along the Ouvane River.
It was here I learned the legend of Donal Cam, who disguised as a monk, found his wife's murderer here in the tower and tossed him to the river below. Factually there's no evidence this ever happened, but it's the best story going in these parts – so who's going to ruin a good Irish tale.
Inspiring pilgrims since the 6th century
Finishing up the day we motored to the end of the St. Finbarr's Walk to see the glacially formed valley known as Gougane Barra. Here, set on the edge of an idyllic lake is the shrine commemorating St. Finbarr who built a hermitage here in the sixth century, before moving on to create a monastery and the city of Cork.
Warm hospitality in a glacial groove
As the day was drawing to a close, David and I were invited to the lovely Gougane Barra Hotel by proprietor Neil & Katy Lucey for dinner. They've been keeping a 400+ year-old family tradition alive since 2005. The hotel is open April through October each year. The hotel is recipient of dozens of awards and is a beautiful place to stay.
Food for the evening consisted of a salad of local West Cork cheeses with pear, bacon, croutons and honey dressing. The entrée was delicious, fresh deep-fried Dingle Bay Scampi with homemade chips and tartar sauce. That should have been enough, but they twisted our arms and insisted we try the 'Gougane Mess' – a heavenly combination of vanilla ice-cream with homemade mini meringue, red berry coulis and cream. Heaven in a glass.
Unexpected discoveries
Spending the evening with such good food, a view of St. Finbarr's Oratory across the lake and in the good company of David Ross was truly a highlight of my Ireland trip. As we talked travel, faith and family, I was truly in awe of his accomplishments as a husband, father, minister, rancher and now proprietor of West Cork's newest tourist destination – the Pod Pairc. This man's energy knows no bounds.
I also made a discovery about myself. As a travel writer, I always tried to cram as many stops in one days as possible to be able to tell my readers more about what they could find at any destination. I measured success by how many photographs I could shoot in 24 hours.
While that is still necessary at times, what I discovered is that the true Ireland can best be appreciated by walking its paths and getting to know its people. If you want to meet two of the best, head to Top of the Rock and meet David and Elizabeth Ross. If a walking vacation is in your future, you can't do better than this
Top of the Rock details:
7 Pods available:
· 2 Luxury pods have toilets, double beds and hand wash basins with mini-kitchen and dining table. A pull out sofa can handle an extra two people. €69-79/night (2014 rates)(pictured)
· 2 Family pods with three fold-up beds and handle five adults or six family members. Kitchen, shower and laundry facilities are in the main Pairc Centre building. €49-59/night
· 3 Standard pods come with two fold up beds for two adults and two small children (or three adults). Like the family pods, all services are close by. €39-49/nigh
Meals can be enjoyed in the Pairc Centre building, or Elizabeth can arrange a breakfast bag to be delivered right to your pod in the morning. It features those great Glenilen Farm products, jams and Elizabeth's homemade scones (as good as I've ever had.
Good night
We got back to the Pod Pairc just as the sun had disappeared over the mountains. The twilight glow let me get a couple more photos before making a cup of tea and then turning in for a comfortable night's sleep in my pod. This day certainly reminded me why I love traveling – especially to Ireland.

Sucker Punch Official Trailer 2 [hd]
Sucker Punch - Official Trailer 2 [hd]
Release Date: 25 March 2011
Genre: Action | Fantasy
Cast: Jon Hamm, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Abbie Cornish
Director: Zack Snyder
Writers: Zack Snyder, Steve Shibuya
Studio: Warner Brothers
Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared.
"Sucker Punch" is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid
imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate
escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time
and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible
adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary.
She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily
Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her
freedom, she urges four other young girls—the outspoken Rocket (Jena
Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal
Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)—to
band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their
captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High
Roller (Jon Hamm).
Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything
from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal.
Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to
stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their
unbelievable journey—if they succeed—will set them free.
Born from the creative vision of filmmaker Zack Snyder ("Watchmen,"
"300"), "Sucker Punch" features an ensemble cast of young stars,
including Emily Browning ("The Uninvited"), Abbie Cornish ("Bright Star"),
Jena Malone ("Into the Wild"), Vanessa Hudgens (the "High School
Musical" films) and Jamie Chung ("Sorority Row"). The film's main cast
also includes Oscar Isaac ("Robin Hood") and Carla Gugino
("Watchmen"), with Jon Hamm ("The Town," TV's "Mad Men") and Scott
Glenn ("The Bourne Ultimatum").
Zack Snyder directed "Sucker Punch" from a screenplay he wrote with
Steve Shibuya, based on Snyder's story. Snyder and Deborah Snyder
produced, with Thomas Tull, Wesley Coller, Jon Jashni, Chris deFaria,
Jim Rowe and William Fay serving as executive producers.
The behind-the-scenes creative team includes Academy Award®-winning
production designer Rick Carter ("Avatar") and "Watchmen" and "300"
veterans director of photography Larry Fong, editor William Hoy and
costume designer Michael Wilkinson. The music is by Tyler Bates and
Marius DeVries.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures,
a Cruel and Unusual Production of a Zack Snyder film, "Sucker Punch."
Opening nationwide March 25, 2011, the film will be distributed by Warner
Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
Synopsis:A young girl is institutionalized by her abusive stepfather. Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which will help her escape from the mental facility.

1994 Dodge Ram Van B150 Q&A
1994 Dodge Ram Van B150 Question: How do I remove broken thermostat housing bolts?
I was trying to replace the thermostat and had removed the alternator and was able to get to the bolts but the first one just snapped off when I tried to remove it. I had to replace everything due to time constraints and need to repair it soon because it is leaking water badly. I have the radiator cap on but not locked down to keep the pressure from blowing out all of the water in the system. Any help would be appreciated. - peco1015

I like to snack on these after a long run and never knew quite what to do with them. I can only find them at Whole foods in the mushroom section. They are green squiggles. Found this recipe on Melissa's organic food Website and tried it. It's really different and yummy if you're craving a salty crunchy meal. The Sea bean is also called Salicornia.
1 cup sea beans
1 jicama, sliced into matchsticks
2 organic apples-favorite, sliced into matchsticks
4 tablespoon Organic cold pressed Olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
black pepper to taste
prepare your sea beans, jicama and apples. The prepare the next 3 ingredients for the dressing. Toss. This would also work well with a nut cheeze to complete the meal.

Music really is a universal language
Researcher Thomas Fritz with two of the Mafa women who participated in his music study to demonstrate music conveys emotion across cultures
Article Summary
It's often said that a picture is worth a thousand words but the same image can have different meanings across cultures. Music, however, may bridge the cultural divide: a new study has shown that regardless of culture or previous exposure, people were accurately able to recognize three emotions in Western music - happiness, sadness and fear.

Plots will be available at Anythink's Commerce City and Perl Mack locations.
Due to a generous grant from the Tri-County Health Department, community gardens are scheduled to open this spring at Anythink Commerce City and Anythink Perl Mack. The grant funds are part of the $10.5 million, two-year grant that Tri-County received as part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative, which promotes healthy living in communities across the country. The library district received a grant of $75,000 to fund the project.
Anythink has partnered with Denver Urban Gardens to develop these community gardens at the two libraries. Community members are invited to sign up for plots that they will maintain throughout the growing season. As part of the Anythink Garden Project, the libraries will hold programming on gardening, nutrition and cooking. Community volunteer workdays will also be held this spring, where residents are invited to help work on the gardens, building raised beds and creating pathways. Dates for the community volunteer days will be announced in the next month.
"This is one more way that Anythink libraries have established themselves as community gathering places," says Anythink Public Services Director Ronnie Storey-Ewoldt, who is spearheading the Garden Project. "Not only do we want to promote ideas and creativity, but through these gardens our libraries will also promote healthy living and sustainability."
To reserve a plot at an Anythink garden, fill out the Anythink Grows plot form and send it to Deborah Hogue at firstname.lastname@example.com or Anet Martinez at email@example.com.

Hello all,
I am looking for any information pertaining to my great great grandfather -Antonio Messina of Palermo, Sicily.
Parents: Joseph Messina and Maria Busalacchi
DOB: Aug 3rd, 1868
Spouse: Maria Balistrieri. I am not sure if they married in Italy or the US. My guess is they married in Italy, due to the timing of my GGF's birth (1908).
Traveled to the US around 1908 (according to the ship manifest).
According to a 1930 Census, he and his family lived in San Franciso, Ca.
I have found an Antonio Messina on two seperate ship manifest (via ancestry.com). One into New Orleans and one into NY. I tried searching ellisisland.com and was not able to find anything for an Antonio Messina. :/
Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Rappers raise voices against violence in Venezuela
But within minutes, a crowd had gathered, and dozens of people clapped and swayed to the music. In front of two large speakers, the air shook with the thundering reggaeton beat.
Microphone in hand, Espinoza rocked back and forth singing: "Wake up, wake up! The trumpets have sounded!"
After the song, he confessed to the crowd: "I used to be a thug. ... Glory to God for what he did in my life."
The crowd responded enthusiastically to the message, clapping for Espinoza and two other rappers whose songs also dealt with turning away from crime.
One teenage girl cradled a baby in her arms as she listened, while others a few years younger sucked on lollypops. Several of the boys wore baseball caps backward, their thumbs hanging from the front pockets of their jeans.
Joe D'Cristo, whose real name is Jose Herrera and who founded the group, paused for a prayer and a short speech, saying killings have become so frequent in Venezuela partly due to decaying values.
"I'm putting out a call to the youth and the people of this barrio who want to change society," said the bearded Herrera, who wore a tight black T-shirt emblazoned with the word "Revolution." "I'm saying it's time to have principles and values. I'm saying it's time for change!"
When Herrera invited people to step forward if they wanted to help change their community, five men walked up and stood beside him.
After the concerts, young men regularly approach Herrera and the other rappers interested in joining the group, which had been unique in Caracas for preaching a Christian message. Years ago, Herrera befriended Espinoza and helped him get into Christian rap. Their small recording label is now working with more than 30 young artists, and it's produced more than a dozen albums.
"We've seen results," Herrera said.
One 21-year-old recruit, Yoardy Ramirez, said learning to become a disc jockey has helped him kick his binge drinking, which he struggled with for three years.
"I'm a new person," he said.
The rappers gather most afternoons in their tiny recording studio, a windowless, second-story office loaned by a church in a gritty Caracas neighborhood. Their CDs hang on the wall, and a decal on the recording booth window reads: "Jesus the water of life."
"We all sing differently, but we have the same vision: positive," Herrera said, sitting in front of the computer where he edits tracks. "This is like a home where young people are given tools and they feel like a family."
The rappers sometimes get teary-eyed in the studio about the experiences described in their lyrics, many of which address the violence around them.
"The street is sick," rapped Edgar "Edu Ministro" Peroza in the studio one afternoon. "It needs to be healed. What the street needs, it needs peace. ... What the street needs, it needs a change."
Espinoza said one of his songs came to him in a dream, and he scribbled out the Christian-themed words when he awoke. He said his music is also influenced by those years when, often high on crack and other drugs, "we became monsters."

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Taj Lake Palace
Pichola Lake, Post Box 5, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The Taj Lake Palace floats on the calm surface of Lake Pichola and was built in 1740 as a summer retreat, taking advantage of the cooling lake breezes. The Taj group took over in the Sixties, and the hotel has since become standard postcard (and Bond film) material.
The standard rooms face inward, overlooking the courtyard and its lily pond; not a bad view in itself, but the slightly better rooms face outward. Many suites have private balconies, and all rooms and suites are quite modern, despite the old-fashioned and opulent décor, with central air conditioning and satellite television. This is, after all, a Taj hotel, and though the location is unconventional and wonderfully secluded, it is a world-class luxury hotel.
Dining and drinking options are plentiful within the hotel, with room service and the café available 24 hours a day. This is still the sort of place which is perfect for a romantic getaway, or just a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life, with a picturesque backdrop and flawless old-world service.
Travel advisory: Passport and visa requirements differ from country to country. Please check with your local authority before booking.
How to get there: Taj Lake Palace is a 40 minute drive from Udaipur Airport. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange airport transfers.

I'm loving these vintage wallpapers from Germany. Hausen (the name of their brick and mortar store (aka 5qm.de online) is located in Cologne and I'm kicking myself because I missed it when I was there last year. I have to change that when I return this year.
I can imagine lingering in a store filled with rolls of vintage wallpaper to rummage through. Mmm. Nice thought. Hausen stocks papers dated between the 1950's and 1980's, but it's the 50's and 70's prints that appeal to me the most. Most of the 60's stuff kinda freaks me out. I've chosen some of my favorite patterns above from thier extensive stock – all presented in English online. See if there are any that you like. Rolls aren't that expensive either, around $45 USD each (tax included). I'm thinking that next to most of the wallpaper I love from the UK, this is about 1/3 of the price I'm used to seeing. Best part, you can order any of their papers via email so we don't have to just look with lust – we can own. View their collection here.
Oh, and I want to credit where I found the link to Hausen, the Le Train Fant?me blog. This is a blog about a family who recently relocated from London to a fixer upper home in the countryside. This is the wallpaper that they purchased for their son, and yes, it's from Hausen – and I just love it. What a sweet accent wall! I can't see an entire room in these papers, unless it was a half bath or something, but as an accent wall or to paper the interior of kitchen or china cabinets – even book shelves, it's just perfect!
Here's the kids room I was telling you about… Nice, huh?
I just came across a beautiful new read from North Carolina blogger, Amy Leonard (she just started blogging last week!) called Design DNA. I spotted an image that I just had to share with all of you, it's this beautiful dressing area with shutters made using antique Indian screens. There is very little I wouldn't do to have these in my home. I may even turn tricks. (kidding!) Imagine returning from a long day, stepping through doors like these into your dressing area or bedroom? Or, better yet, having these on the front of your house. These are positively grand. I need to seriously stop gazing at this image because it's driving me nuts that they don't belong to me! :)
(image via design dna)
If you're already planning for a Spring spruce up, consider this…
It's great how little improvements can make a huge impact on your space, isn't it? Our decorating goal for 2007 should be to get creative in decorating instead of heading for the easy out – things that are already made and ready to install. I don't mean we have to go nuts here, but let's at least try out a few new ideas, okay?
One thing that comes to mind are window treatments. You can use tea towels as cafe curtains – a no sew version is to add clip rings to the tops and put them on a rod. Easy. Linens are pretty, and look for a tea towel that is around 17 x 22″. Two of these are all you'll need for a single window.
Or, if you need curtains for your bedroom or living room, you can use a twin sheet to create a single panel (or a full if you like more of a gather). Just flip the sheet upside down (depending on the pattern, of course) so the wide hem puddles on the floor and the thin hem is at the top, where you will simply add clip rings to hold it onto a rod. You can also hang the sheet the correct way if your pattern demands it, with the wide hem on top, just open up the hem on each side of the sheet and put a rod through the newly formed pocket. Again, very easy and no sewing machine required.
If you have a good eye for print and pattern, your sheet curtains can add a lot of beauty to your space.
Not a fan of DIY? Well, try to change that. You'll save a lot of cash and, funny as it may sound, it's a huge self esteem boast to do things on your own – no matter how simple. Some people are a bit snobby when it comes to doing anything for themselves, others would never admit to using sheets. But think about it, a sheet is a textile right? It wasn't a sheet until someone made it into one. Before that, it was on a bolt like every other textile out there. So lighten up if you find yourself overthinking things a bit too much. It's fabric, get over it. :)
This is sheeting from The Company Store, it's called Hexagon, and it just so happens to be on sale right now…
Can't find sheets that appeal to you, or perhaps you're looking to use something different like chenilles, velvets, brocades, or heavy cottons? A quick change for any living space is to add simple tab top or rod pocket curtains. Although this may not be a DIY project, it a budget solution for a tired room. Try to locate some inexpensive $20 panels. Target has some beautiful and inexpensive ones, so do other stores likes Pier 1, even the Martha Stewart brand at Kmart is nice. A simple curtain swap for Spring can breathe life into a tired space without breaking the bank.
Remember, you don't have to spend a fortune to give your space a quick facelift. With bed sheets, you can create a cozy grown-up space in a single afternoon.
Good sheet resources:
Martha Stewart Everyday at Kmart
Thomas O'Brien for Target
Garnet Hill (the GH outlet store in the mountains of New Hampshire is the best if you're ever up that way.)
Bed, Bath + Beyond
The Company Store
L.L.Bean (they have some of the best colors for solids, pale blues and greens, for instance.)
Tip: Always wash sheets after purchasing them, as this will soften the fabric and help remove the creases. Apply a hot iron before hanging. 200+ thread count cottons work best. Avoid sateens and flannels.
Please measure your windows before purchasing. Some windows are much larger than the standard sizes found in most homes, and others are much smaller. BTW – If your windows are tall, you can always take out the wide hem for extra length or look for extra long sheets.
Travel + Leisure, a magazine that I have been hooked on since 1989 (my friend Judith gave me a gift subscription as a teen), is known as the leader in directing thousands in the right direction when it comes to planning the perfect vacation. As a reader for 18 years, they have helped me put the dollup of whipped cream on all of my travel plans, that extra touch that I may not have ever known of had I not read about it in their magazine. This is why I am so excited to tell you about the new title from Travel + Leisure magazine, a gorgeous 287 page book called, "100 Greatest Trips".
Categorized by country, from the United States to to western Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, and beyond, this book is jam packed with hundreds of beautiful photos arranged neatly around quick bites of information (it isn't text heavy) in clean, modern typeface.
Inside you'll find everything from shopping expeditions to culinary tours, driving vacations, beach getaways, art and culture explorations, outdoor adventures, travel tips, mini-guides, and listings of recommended hotels, restaurants, shops, galleries, musuems, and tour operators. The best part, everything they suggest seems to be within my budget! Score! (This isn't too common in most travel books, as they tend to cater towards the money crowd.)
Shot by some of T+L's award-winning photographers, it's one of those books that grabs, and keeps, your attention. It's one that you'll find yourself coming back to again and again, it's almost a cookbook for travel. I love it because there are so many delicious interior shots that it gave me loads of inspiration. I highly suggest it either for yourself, or to give as a gift.
decor8 gives it: 5 stars
newsstand price: $34.95
amazon price: $24.12 (and comes shrink wrapped, so you can crack the spine. I know, I'm a dork, but I love being the first person to open a book.)
available here at amazon.

Says dam is a threat to life and property Says dam is a threat to life and property
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Petition's Committee of the Assembly has recommended the construction of a new dam at Mullaperiyar in Idukki district in place of the 110-year-old lime and mortar dam, the safety of which is a subject of dispute between Kerala, where the dam is located, and Tamil Nadu, which receives the water that flows into the reservoir created by the dam.
The committee, headed by Monse Joseph, in a report tabled in the Assembly on Monday, said that even the British engineer Colonel Pennycuick, who supervised the construction of the dam way back in 1896, predicted a life of only 50 years for it.
The committee said that allowing the dam to stand beyond 110 years with the help of engineering patch-up works was by no means advisable, considering the magnitude of the calamity that it might cause in five districts in Kerala if anything untoward were to happen to the structure. The dam now stood as a threat to the life and property of nearly 35 lakh people living in the districts of Idukki, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam and Ernakulam, according to the committee.
Should withstand tremors
The committee said that a new dam should be designed factoring in the probability of tremors in the Mullaperiyar region. This region experienced tremors very recently and even two well-known geologists from Tamil Nadu, after conducting studies, confirmed that the region was prone to earthquakes.
It said it would be ideal for the two States to enter into a new agreement on the Mullaperiyar waters after the construction of the proposed new dam. The new agreement should protect the interests of both the States.
The waters that would rush downstream into the Kerala side if the old dam were to collapse would reach the Idukki reservoir formed by three mammoth dams at Idukki, Cheruthoni and Kulamavu.
The Petition's Committee said that these three dams would not be able to withstand the pressure of the flow from Mullaperiyar in such an event. The result would be a big tragedy.
The committee said that, for the present, the Kerala Government should commission a `dam break analysis' of the brick-and-mortar structure at Mullaperiyar and take precautionary measures to avert a possible tragedy. The Tamil Nadu engineers had created a sand embankment in front of the spillway of the dam and this embankment prevented the dam from overflowing even when the water level went beyond the height of 136 feet, which was now being considered safe. The committee suggested the removal of this embankment.

A'eda Odeh hasn't heard about the American helicopter. Over coffee in her brother's home in the city of Zarqa, 15 minutes northeast of Amman, she said that the idea that Jordan was working closely with the U.S. made her "very angry."
"I don't like Saddam Hussein at all," said Odeh, whose husband is a Jordanian policeman. "But because his soldiers are resisting the Americans, I've started to like him." She says she takes no pleasure from the reports of killed and captured American soldiers, and says the Iraqis should be left in peace. "They need to start a war to get of rid of Saddam?" she asks. "This is the most powerful country in the world we're talking about. I think they could have found another way." She says it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the Bush administration has bigger plans than liberating Iraqis.
The rumors from the Iraqi border have reached the streets of Amman. A falafel vendor asked whether the stories about the U.S. troops are true; and if they're true, what can the government be thinking? "I know Jordan needs the money, but these are fellow Arabs," he says, shaking his head in disgust. "I think, in the long run, this collaboration will end up costing us more than we can afford."
Back in the Zarqa living room, A'eda's brother tells her the story of the Iraqi farmers, and she listens intently, her face expressionless, till she can no longer contain her glee. "I don't favor war," she says, and takes a last sip of her tea. "But bravo to those farmers."

Rupiah Gains a Second Week as Funds Buy Assets; Bonds Advance
July 6 (Bloomberg) -- Indonesia's rupiah headed for a second week of gains after global funds bought the nation's assets on expectation central banks in the world's largest economies would ease monetary policy. Government bonds rallied for a seventh straight week.
Overseas investors added 2.48 trillion rupiah ($264 million) to their government bond holdings in the first two days of this week, the most since the five days ended April 6, and purchased $165 million more local stocks than they sold this week through yesterday, finance ministry and exchange data show. The European Central Bank cut its reference rate to a record low yesterday and the People's Bank of China reduced borrowing costs.
"We see greater confidence in the Indonesia markets," said Rully Nova, a currency analyst at PT Bank Himpunan Saudara 1906 in Jakarta. "Global stimulus measures would be positive for Indonesia and for the rupiah as it would increase liquidity in the market."
The rupiah gained 0.3 percent this week to 9,405 per dollar as of 4:11 p.m. in Jakarta, poised for its biggest weekly gain since the five days ended June 15, according to prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg. The currency touched 9,334 on July 4, the strongest level since June 7, and weakened 0.2 percent today.
One-month implied volatility, which measures exchange-rate swings used to price options, declined 25 basis points, or 0.25 percentage point, to 8.25 percent, the lowest level since May 15.
Bank Indonesia's focus is now on keeping the rupiah stable, from countering slowing global growth since last year, Perry Warjiyo, director for economic and monetary-policy research, said today.
The government's 7 percent bonds due May 2022 advanced, pushing the yield down 11 basis points this week, or 0.11 percentage point, to 6.05 percent, according to prices from the Inter Dealer Market Association. The yield reached 6.03 percent yesterday, the lowest level since May 3, and climbed one basis point today.

I'm starting to feel like Bette Midler in The Rose ("Where's everybody going?"). Another case in point: Liz Smith was asked to join me and others on a Mediabistro.com panel called "Secrets and Lies: Gossip Columnists Tell All!," but she replied to editor Albert Lee, "Thanks, but I don't want to be on a panel with Michael, as much as I like him. Panels with him are not about journalism, only about gay issues. I'm sure it will be great without me, but he wants a forumI don't." Oh, these wacky bisexuals!
Moving on with my forum, my spies just spotted Matt Lauer dining at Gabriel's with Bryant Gumbel. Funny, not that long ago they would probably have had each other for dinner. . . . For dessert, Elaine May's written a play called Adult Entertainment in which someone named Heidi the 'Ho calls her TV viewers " 'Ho watchers." I hear Robin Byrd auditioned for the role, and also hoping to play Heidi-go-seek are divas from Teri Hatcher to Sandra Bernhard. Anyone need a Rhinestone Trucker?
In other legit news, the Flower Drum Song revival can deal with the potential stereotyping problem by taking a cue from Thoroughly Modern Millie and having the characters announce at the end, "By the way, we're not really Asian at all. We're crazy, evil people pretending to be Asian!" (That should please all the racially sensitive Michael Jackson types out there.)
I pretended not to freakstay with me nowwhen the power went out on Fire Island last week, forcing all the Florence of Arabia types to huddle around candles, forage for food that didn't have to be refrigerated or cooked, and flashlight their way to the Pavilion, praying the place had a generator so the summer-long dance party could keep its mojo going. It did.
While I light up this island with my throbbing glowstick, let me remark that my gaydar is pinging for that Bloomberg guy. But hey, I've been fully assured that he's straight, just like past mayors. Well, some past mayors.
EXTRA ITEM: Guess what's going to be the next strike in the current battle involving Jacko. I hear it'll be the public opening up of court files related to his pedophilia suit! And I hear Jacko will hit back with some blockbuster allegations of his own!

I was so happy to see this group in the community. I've been veggie for over 20 years, DH made the change about 5 years ago, and we are raising DS vegetarian. I have started to notice my diet slipping since DS has been eating real food (he is now 30 months old). I've gradually started making foods that are more agreeable to him, because although we started him with a variety of veggies, he has really started asserting his preference for dairy and carb rich foods (yogurt, bread, cheese, milk, are common requests). So I am starting to work a lot of vegan meals and snacks in to reduce our dairy dependency. This is proving downright objectionable to my toddler. He is mad, pulls our heart strings, claims starvation, cries for cheese until far past his bedtime, etc. My awesome pediatrician has encouraged us to hold our ground for the health of our whole, and I've started reducing dairy available in the house. But DS refuses dinner then throws a tantrum for dried mangoes or cheese before bed. Any advice on bedtime snacks and just generally making the transition with a very strong willed little guy.
Oh and for fans it is really Dr. Joel Furman's book disease proof your child that is inspiring me. Although I don't think we will completely follow his path I think it's an excellent guide.
Aug 2009; DS1 Sep 2010; Dec 2012; Dec 2013; May 2014
What about trying some non-dairy products that would satisfy his cravings, like soy yogurt or homemade nut cheeses? Whole Soy makes really yummy yogurt, and they have an unsweetened version now, so you can blend it with fresh fruit for sweetener or use it savory with baked potatoes, or in soups. I've been using it as a starter for almond cheese.
My toddler loves nutritional yeast. Sometimes I mix it with homemade almond cheese, or on popcorn or in soups. If you're not familiar with nutritional yeast, it comes in powder form and has a cheesy flavor. It's full of b vitamins and protein.
Maybe you should give him a cheese-esque snack before bed, and then try the more difficult veggies and fruits during times when he isn't tired. Best of luck! It can be hard feeding a toddler!
Thanks dovey for some ideas. I haven't found unsweetened soy yogurt, but I will keep looking (we have an great coop so I can ask). I've never tried a nut cheese, but have a few raw recipes so I will give one a try. I've cooked with nutritional yeast, but haven't gotten very adventurous, but that is a good idea. One item that is sometimes a hit is hummus, but lately that is a no go. These are great suggestions!
Aug 2009; DS1 Sep 2010; Dec 2012; Dec 2013; May 2014
DD can't have dairy so I had to stop it as well which meant no cheese - a HUGE par of my diet pre-baby. Turns out I am mildly sensitive to it so it's probably a good thing I stopped, but thankfully I have a vegan friend who turned me on to Daiya vegan cheese and that has been a godsend in our house! I can make some of the foods I love and not have to veer too far from my comfort zone and DD is able to share them with me. Nutritional yeast is one I use a lot of, anywhere I might use parm I swap in the nutritional yeast instead - popcorn, pasta, sauces, omlets, potato dishes.
DD loves her veggies, and at 16mos prefers them to just about anything else still. But I've started doing morning smoothies and she loves that - we add chia seeds and/or coconut oil. I cook almost everything with coconut oil nowadays and there is a great spread availablle alongside all the butter at the store that we use on toast.
Currently we're on a pre-bed peanut butter kick - she loves it and really can't get enough! I get the organic stuff and she also will eat sunbutter, either way a nice satisfying bedtime snack.
Thanks all - he is still basically only eating fruit and is in his room right now crying for food (milk and cheese!), but we are sticking with it. Made nutritional yeast and quinoa patties with kale tonight, but what is it "they" say. it takes 9-15 times before a toddler may like a new food.

I would try substitutions and keep trying new brands.
My baby was very sensitive to Dairy as a newborn so I had to give it up for a while. I am already vegetarian so giving up dairy wasn't that big of a deal.
I emailed lots of vegan companies like "Follow Your Heart" and asked for coupons or samples and most of the companies atleast sent me coupons.
Skinny Bitch in the Kitch is a book with lots of awesome Vegan recipes for everyday use.
We love Almond milk for a milk substitute. They make Almond and Soy milk in small "Juice box" sizes too.
Good Luck!
Thanks All - So I made nut cheese with Cashews, not too hard just a commitment to let it ripen etc., but it is delicious, and works well on crackers, rolled up in sprouted tortillas etc. I came across chef Amber Shea's blog and cookbook, practically raw which sounds great, so I think I'll get the book, and I've already tried a couple of things from the blog. Bed time is slightly better, but still a lot of crying for food, not necessarily cheese! Thanks for you support and advice!

Mali Nicole - Sunday Afternoon
Artist: Mali Nicole
Producer: C Ballin
Album: Confessions of a Teenager EP
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 2 votes )
No, your ears and eyes don't deceive you; that soulful, seasoned voice is really coming from the teenage star of the video below. On her debut DJBooth feature, Sunday Afternoon, 16-year-old Cali singer Mali Nicole exhibits a vocal presence so far beyond her years it ain't even funny. C Ballin provides a mellow, hip hop-infused backdrop for the artist's impressive verses, which detail an evening of innocent fun with her homies. OK, maybe "innocent" ain't the right word—Nicole manages to incorporate a reference to molly, and the official visuals involve some good, old-fashioned underage drinking—but those elements hardly compromise the record's carefree, breezy vibe. Sunday Afternoon is the lead single off Mali Nicole's forthcoming Confessions of a Teenager EP. Keep it locked for the latest on the set, which currently lacks a drop date.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments about Ghostly Spirit:
The piece is cool looking; however, the folding creases take most of the "coolness" away. How is one suppose to iron out creases on plastic? The fold lines take away from the illusion of the ghosts.

James Bond Film Skyfall Inspired By Stuxnet Virus 187
from the license-to-kill() dept.
Is it really necessary to prove it's possible to ruin a James Bond movie by taking all of the fun out of it?
...and it's fun unless you expect a James Bond movie.
To give an explanation, I think Craig is so far from the Fleming character and when introducting him they shouldn't have thrown out the good bits of the existing film canon.
He could code (and in multiple languages), in contrast to, say, Steve Jobs.
From what I've read of the experiences of other coders/designers/architects, he had the in-depth technical acumen to make a one-on-one development review a very detailed and rather harrowing experience, as well.
Downloading from The Pirate Bay doesn't take a lot of smarts. Pay to watch ads, or see the movie for free without them? The industry is brain-dead, this is the kind of crap that drives people to the very piracy the industry hates and was the sort of thing DeCSS was written for.

Going to the Vet & The Tagging GameNovember 7th 2008 12:12 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
I was sleeping contently on the bed when I heard the sound of the carrier coming toward me. I quickly ran behind the bed where Mom couldn't get me. She finally grabbed me and tried to put me in that thing. I gave her a hard time and let her know it too. I cried all the way and once inside even louder. The nice girl weighed me and said I was 14.6 lbs. The Doc said I was a chunky boy. The nerve. I had a good checkup and blood drawn. I was hungry when I got home, but I hid instead. I had to make sure it was safe again.
The black kittyNovember 3rd 2008 8:09 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
I was sitting on the deck today, and the black kitty came right up to the gate where I was sitting. I hissed and meowed real loud when Mom came out to see what was going on. She said he was probably hungry and thirsty so she filled up his bowls. He quickly ate. Mom tried to pet him but he ran off. I tried to "meow" to him that Mom wouldn't hurt him, he didn't care and ran off crying.
When is nap time?October 30th 2008 5:54 pm

I'm not napping with my Daddy anymore during game time. He just doesn't sit still for more than 5 minutes. How am I suppose to sleep thru that?! I'm glad the Phillies won and it's finally over, and I'm also glad that we didn't have to build an ark with all the rain we've had. Maybe now I'll get a good nap in. Oh no..those trick er treaters will soon be here! I guess I'll be hiding under the couch again!
Getting cuddlesOctober 23rd 2008 3:03 pm

I've been sleeping under the covers for the past few nights, it's always a favorite cuddle spot for me when the nights get chilly. I watched the Phillies game and cuddled with my Daddy last night and hope to do it again tonight.

I was relaxing in the beautiful sunshine on the deck and I happen to see that intruder again. That black kitty sure has alot of nerve, he/she came right up to me meowed and just stared, I hissed and he/she ran into the garden and was eating all my catnip, then he/she did the unthinkable! He/she did a #2 right in my yard! I meowed at he/she and said hey..go poop in your own yard..

Daddy was rolling the ball and playing with me last night, I was climbing up and down the cat scratcher. I think I had the zoomies. We watched the Phillies game together, and he gave me a pawsome belly rub. I'm being extra nice to him this weekend cause he's having a Birthday tomorrow. I hope you have the best Birthday ever Daddy, and thanks fur being so good to me! Now where's my treats!?

Since the nights have been getting a little chilly I've been getting alot of good cuddles on my fleecy blankie an it feels extra good. It warmed up nicely yesterday and I spent alot of time out napping on my deck in the sunshine. There has been a pretty black kitty sneaking around my backyard all summer long, she's pretty..I think she's a she..Anyway she came up close to my gate when I gave her the eye, then I guess I got so excited I started coughing. Mom told me that's no way to impress the ladies. I couldn't help it..I got excited cause Mom was feeding her all my Food, that's how she reeled me in..MoL!

Ahoy! I'm doing pretty good enjoying the cooler weather, and looking out all the windows. Mommy's neck and back went out last week and I've been keeping her busy like cleaning up hairballs and things like that! I hear it's good exercise for the back.
Don't fence me in!September 4th 2008 11:53 am
[ Leave A Comment ]
I've been spending alot of time out on the deck watching the birds and whatever else thats out in the yard. I've also been slipping thru the rails a couple of times too. Dad didn't think I'd be able to slip thru the rails cause I'm a little chubby boy. I guess I showed him for saying that! Then, he showed me by putting up a wired fence around the rails, now I really can't escape, I think I could jump it though. Think I'll ponder that idea more after a nap.
Fun with crickets!August 25th 2008 3:17 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Daddy was working in the front yard and left the garage door open for awhile. He must have left some crickets in. Oh Boy! What fun! Sammie was under the car trying to get at one, and I was on the other side trying to bat at one. He didn't even realize how much fun we were having, when he said come on kids it's time to go inside. I tried to tell him that all the fun begins when you turn the lights off because they jump and sing real loud. Well, he didn't listen, He can be such a spoilsport! It was fun for awhile though.

Weekly Standard
Claudia Koonz...explains in her insightful new book how Germans, who were among Europe's least anti-Semitic people, came to support a leadership that sought to annihilate European Jewry...The readiness of many Germans to acquiesce evolved as a consequence of their internalization of the knowledge that was disseminated apparently by legitimate institutions of the state. As Koonz notes, the indoctrination was successful because there was little reason to question the facts conveyed by experts, documentary films, educational materials, and popular science. The German public was reeducated to support the elimination of Jews, Gypsies, the chronically ill, and other categories of the 'unfit'—all as a moral good, consistent with the dictates of conscience. Koonz's prodigious work is a major contribution to our understanding of the social and ideological history of the Third Reich.

Can Wix Become WordPress For The Rest Of The World?
The unusual offering from an Israeli freemium website creation and hosting firm could be a bellwether of what's next for tech IPOs.
Wix, an Israeli web-hosting startup with a popular build-your-own-site service, is going public today. The initial public offering is expected to raise at least $119 million. It's the latest in a series of high-profile public offerings by tech firms, with Twitter leading the helm. But for Wix, it's an unusual launch—both because it's a hosting firm and because it's Israeli.
The usual exit plan for many Israeli tech firms that get big is to get acquired by a larger company. Waze, which was purchased by Google for $1.3 billion, is the best known example of this phenomenon (and Wix was even featured in Fast Company's list of post-Waze Israeli startups to watch). Due to a host of structural and cultural factors, including limited marketing possibilities to Israel's Arab neighbors and the lure of Silicon Valley, Israeli tech firms tend to sell after reaching a certain size. Wix's IPO is sure to be watched by other tech firms rumored to be considering similar moves like Outbrain.
Adding to the novelty of Wix's IPO is what the company actually does. Its model is similar to Squarespace, Weebly, and even WordPress. Wix offers web hosting and drag-and-drop website design for a clientele, primarily small businesspeople, who don't want to deal with hiring a web designer or the messiness of hand-coding HTML and Javascript. It even offer its services on a freemium model—users can put their sites online for free, although they'll include advertisements for Wix's services baked into the home pages. Wix has tens of millions of users, but its still small potatoes compared to hosting giants GoDaddy and DreamHost, neither of which has filed for an IPO yet.
Nir Zohar, Wix's president and COO, told Fast Company that the company is gaining 1 million registered users each month, with much of that growth overseas—its IPO filing notes users in 190 countries and offering platforms in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. He noted that only one-third of its users are Americans, with most of the rest coming from Australia, Canada, Brazil (an especially strong market for Wix), Argentina, Colombia, Russia, and other countries. It was also emphasized that Wix's future lies more in offering website creation and content management tools for users rather than in hosting infrastructure.
The growth of the Internet worldwide is seen by Wix as an opportunity to boost its user base; Zohar noted that Wix's freemium model helps sign up users in countries where, unlike the United States and Israel, it's less common for customers to pay for services with credit cards online. Also emphasized was Wix's App Market, which offers HTML5 plug-ins for Wix customers' websites. By allowing third-party developers to create plug-ins, Zohar said, Wix is able to expand its functionality set for users while having its engineers work on core projects instead.
In 2012, Wix generated $44 million in revenue and lost $12 million. But in the first nine months of 2013, Wix's losses jumped to $18 million in advance of the IPO. Much of its growth has been tied to the international market—while it offers a popular service, it's also one that makes sense in the context of a larger corporate patron, like Google or Microsoft, just as much as it does as an independent publicly traded company. But to hear Zohar explain it, he sees Wix almost as a utility service that offers easy website creation to the world. "We still have less than 1% of this market, and this market is enormous," he added.
By all accounts, Wix is expected to have an impressive opening day. The question for now is which other tech companies will also pull off IPOs next quarter on prominent stock exchanges such as NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange. Any guesses?

My experience says that WIX is very good for beginners but for those who are really serious about their web presence need to switch to wordpress or other professional service.
I hired these guys www.wixtowordpress.com and so far they did a great job on my site and they converted my painful wix site to wordpress within 8 days.
Wix is a simple tool for amateurs from which less than 2% manage to successfully publish a website on domain...

I believe website creation is a professional job and professionals need professional softwares, not simplistic DIY tools...
Wix, uflifying the internet one crappy web site at a time.
Is it too little too late? Why now? When you have a plethora of companies offering the same services out there. Still wonder why?
I don't care who you are. If you neglect your customers then your business model will suffer. Wix is an intermediary step. Some people stay, a lot of people will leave. In my experience with Wix, they focussed on casting an ever widening net while not focussing on decreasing the size of the holes in it. Eventually we all find a way out.
Neal, I contributed a guest post the other day, talking about Wix's growth potential overseas. https://www.equitynet.com/blog...
I think Wix has tremendous potential and I have used it for many years.
Do you think that because Wix started in Israel it allowed it to expand quicker internationally?
If your mission is to create a website quickly, to start adding basic content and you don't need a lot of custom plugins to achieve your goals, then Wix is certainly a viable option to other one stop shop blogging solutions.

Do you think that because Wix started in Israel it allowed it to be better at expanding internationally?
does wix think they are going to make a quick buck by filing for an IPO?
I love Wix. I use it as a photo portfolio. It's easy to use and allows for a lot of freedom to drag, drop, and size things exactly how you would like. Anything involving photos in Wordpress is a huge headache.
The first thing I noticed about this company was the slow response time of their website. It took quite a while before it was completely loaded in my browser. And even after reloading it, the display wasn't good. This all happened at an Internet speed of 10MB while other sites all loaded fast in my browser. For example usa.weloveourhost.com loaded in only 1 second. Coincidence? I don't know but it doesn't really give me much confidence.
