Although many of the park blooms will be past their peak for this year's Flowertown Festival, remnants will still be visible hiding in shady areas. Red Bud I all but finished putting on its lavender-pink show and there are only a few camellia blossoms left for visitors to see.
Visitors may spot a few of the local azalea favorites still adding interest to the landscape:
G. G. Gerbing, a medium size white bloom, adds great show to any garden. Good examples are in many yards, in Azalea Park behind Bethany United Methodist Church in Summerville and in Cypress Gardens.
Coral Bells is a small-leafed compact evergreen azalea with pink hose-in-hose blossoms in April. A hose-in-hose azalea is one for which every trumpet-shaped flower has a second trumpet-flower inside it. The Coral Bells variety is also known as Daybreak & Pink Beauty.
A softer lavender azalea, the George L. Tabor, puts out a pastel bloom with a splotched deep purple throat. It is reminiscent of an orchid in shape and effect. It's a good addition to any landscape and can grow about eight feet tall.
President Clay with its brick red blooms are putting on the best show this week with their full bushes lining the Azalea Park sidewalks that run parallel to Main Street.
Formosa azaleas may be one of the most popular because of their hardiness, but they also put on one of the best shows. With medium to large brilliant magenta blooms and full bushes, they are a favorite in large parks and gardens.
Dogwoods are also still sporting a few blooms, but if you find them to be somewhat less spectacular than you remember, your observations are correct. The dogwood show has been diminished in recent years by a blight. The blight came down from up north, through North Carolina and has been difficult to eradicate. The blight causes the blooms to be smaller and look dingy, lessening the impact of the brilliant white of affected trees. Those without the blight are relatively obvious because the show is so much brighter.
Wisteria is beginning to bloom and some examples are in the park. There are also good examples of wisteria along the Berlin G. Myers Parkway.
Among the more popular flowering trees is Red Bud, with examples not only in gardens but in the woods as well. Although it's called Red Bud, the effect is more of a strong lavender with tight little blooms covering the branches, the trees practically glow with color.
Yellow jasmine is also finishing its blooming season, trailing along the tops of other bushes and trees.
The town's parks department has the parks ready with green winter grass brightening the gardens and seasonal color planted near the gazebos.

There are few meals that are so spectacular that the memory, the impression left stays with us forever. Meals unique in their originality, quality, flavor; care and attention, a warm, welcoming ambiance add to the meal itself, framing the memory in elegance or glamour, creating something dreamlike, but it is the food that is center stage, the primary element, the leading lady, the meat and potatoes of the narrative. If the food isn't perfect, nothing will hold the experience in our imagination.
It is a truth universally known that the simplest things are often the best. A slow, lazy Sunday morning in bed with a good book. An evening in with husband and sons just chatting, laughing, dreaming together. A pizza and a movie on a Saturday night. A walk through the vineyards on a sunny morning, hand in hand, dog romping happily around our feet. A little black dress, the only ornament a dab of red lipstick. Three little words. A single band of gold. Nothing gaudy, nothing complicated, just focusing on the basic, unpretentious beauty and simplicity of the best. Pure, simple pleasure.
Take food, for example. A few, simple ingredients, fresh, seasonal, of the highest quality, make the best dish. Pasta tossed simply with ripe sweet tomatoes, fragrant basil, a drizzle of olive oil and the gentle bite of garlic create a stunning meal. A chicken, cooked to perfection, the meat tender, flavorful, the skin crispy, golden brown, roasted with nothing more than salt and pepper, maybe a handful of herbs from the garden or the surprise of lemon, is heaven itself. Bread still warm from the oven slathered with butter and a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or peanut butter smeared on warm toast, what could be simpler and what could be better? Or a classic jambon-beurre, a single slice of ham and a lick of pure, creamery butter on warm baguette. The perfect, dense, gooey brownie, no adornment necessary.
One of my most memorable meals was simplicity itself. A romantic getaway on the coast, an afternoon and a night at the Hôtel Anne de Bretagne in La Plaine sur Mer left an indelible mark. Elegant white surroundings, a view of the wild late-summer ocean, crisp table cloths, crystal and china lending sophistication and charm, the evening meal for two promised to be special. A warm bowl of thick chunks of crabmeat in a creamy fennel chaud-froid with a layer of shellfish gelée was a stupendous starter. But astonished I was to discover that the main course was unforgettable as simple as it was: tiny lamb chops, no bigger than the palm of my hand from top to bottom, grilled to perfection; tender baby vegetables, miniature carrots and leeks, slender asparagus gently steamed and laid out delicately across the plate in a light sauce like a breath of flavor. The high quality of the ingredients needed nothing more than the hand of a great chef to create such an incredible dish so full of flavor. And the final applause, the exquisite finale to this astounding meal was, well, so simple it took my breath away. A tarte fine. A paper-thin round of just-crisp puff pastry topped with swirls of paper-thin apple slices, delicate and sweet, and brushed with a hint of jam. Nothing could have been better, unadorned purity, perfection embodied in the simplest of desserts.
And that perfect tarte fine has stayed with me, making me dream, and I have longed to recreate something so wonderful. Our boulangère fills the glass case of her bakery with seasonal tarts, great rounds of puff pastry topped with layers of apples or chunks of peaches and dabbed with glistening jellies and I ogle each one, scolding these delicacies for taunting and teasing me each time I walk in for our daily baguette. And I have decided that it was finally time for me to create my own with summer's ripe, sugary, juicy peaches, abundant this year and sweeter than usual. I had spent a lovely afternoon joyously rolling out my own puff pastry and all I needed to do was dash to the market early and choose the fruit.
As simple as….pie.
TARTE FINE AUX PÊCHES (Peach Puff Pastry Tart)
Using very good quality store bought puff pastry or homemade using this recipe and these directions, simply weigh out a round of puff pastry – I cut mine out with a large ring mold – and roll it out gently on a floured work surface; do not push the rolling pin, rather gently and lightly roll back and forth, take your time so as to neither compact the pastry or distort the circle. Turn the circle of dough around and around after each stroke of the rolling pin in order to create a circle.
Puff pastry
Unsalted butter (7 or 8 g – ½ Tbs), softened
1 Tbs granulated brown or white sugar
For a tart about 22 cm (8 ½ inches) in diameter use about 250 - 300 g (9 - 10 oz) puff pastry. This serves 4 to 6 guests depending upon how hungry they are and if the tart is served with a scoop of ice cream or not. Use about 3 ripe peaches.
Feel free to use more puff pastry and more peaches for a larger tart. The tart is freeform so all you need for a bigger tart is a larger baking tray.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 2 – 3 mm (not more than 1/8 inch). You can leave the edges a bit thicker. Place the round of dough on a parchment paper-lined baking tray larger than the tart (the butter and juices may run a bit), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) Note: towards the end of the baking, you will need to turn the oven up to 200°C (400°F) in order to brown the edges of the pastry.
Lightly brush the puff pastry with some of the softened butter, all the way to the edge of the dough. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Slice the peaches into thin slices and place them in a concentric circle on the dough, overlapping the slices slightly, but leaving about ½ to 1 inch free all the way around (do not place the peach slices to the edge). Dot the rest of the butter over the peach and sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the fruit slices and the edge of dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 – 40 minutes. If the puff pastry is not yet golden and puffed all the way around, simply turn the heat up to 200°C (400°F) and watch the tart carefully so it browns without burning.
Remove from the oven and dust with powdered/confectioner's sugar just before serving.

COLUMBIA — Tipsters who report drunken drivers in Columbia can get a $100 reward under a new initiative.
The Report A Drunk Driver program was launched Friday by AAA Carolinas' Foundation for Traffic Safety and officials with the City of Columbia.
People can call 911 and give details about someone they suspect of driving drunk. The calls will be coded specifically for the RADD campaign, and tipsters get $100 if the person is convicted.
AAA says South Carolina ranks third highest in the nation for drunken driving deaths per vehicle miles traveled. In 2011, Richland and Lexington counties recorded 13 percent of the state's drunken driving deaths.

"Is there an easy way to white-label a domain when using SSL?"
Short answer: not really. One way would be to get a different IP and SSL certs. There are still some hurdles when sharing sessions across domains. Cookies can't be read across sites, either.

How To French Cut an Onion
Home Hacks
If a recipe calls for "frenched onions" or tells you to french-cut your onions, this simply means to cut the onion into thin wedges from stem-end to root-end. This gives you very thin strips of onion that are (more or less!) the same length - great for stir-fries, caramelizing, and lots of other presentations. Here's how to do it!
What You Need
One or more onions
Sharp knife
Cutting board
1. Cut about a half an inch off both the stem-end and root-end of the onion. (See note below about when to leave the root-end intact.)
2. Turn the onion onto one of the flat surfaces and cut it in half from stem to root.
3. Peel off the thin papery layers from the outside of the onion.
4. Lay on half of the onion flat on your cutting board, so it looks like a dome. Starting on whichever side you hold your knife, make thin cuts angled slightly toward the center. You don't need to actually cut through the center - just work radially from the side to the center gradually increasing the angle of the cutas you work toward the center.
5. Once you reach the center, tip the onion over so the surface you just cut is now the bottom.
6. Continue slicing the onion as in Step 4, being careful once you get to the very center.
7. Repeat with the second half of the onion.
Additional Notes:
• Don't forget to hold the onion using the claw to avoid cutting yourself!
• You can make each slice as thick or as thin as you prefer for the recipe you're making, but just make sure they're all about the same thickness.
• You can leave the root end intact instead of cutting it off in Step 2. This will keep the onion in wedges instead of thin pieces. In Step 4, try to slice all the way through to the root.

Door may hit a$$ on way out... Achtung baby!Quote:
Dear Mr. King,
I am 38 and have been a life long "constant reader" of yours. I am one of those folks who (when actual bookstores were still around) would rush out to buy the hardback of your latest offering the day it was available. Hell, I'm one of those guys who would have bought your grocery list in hardback if you ever published it.
That ended today. Never again will I give you 1 cent of my hard earned cash after your statement about the NRA and responsibility for gun violence. I spoke up for you many times when they blamed "Rage" for school shootings. I thought it was a shame when you pulled that story out of guilt. I am sure you wrote this essay out of guilt, as well.
Just as I would never think to blame a fictional story for the deeds of an evil individual, it is just as much a folly to blame inanimate objects for those deeds. I only wish you could understand that.
As I sit here and wonder "What should I now do with this entire bookcase of Stephen King hardbacks (and truth be told some paperbacks, as well)?", I think maybe I should give them away to charity. No, I don't want to encourage someone else to make the bad decision I made in becoming a fan. Maybe I should start a protest bon fire with them and post a photo of it on your wall. No, I can't get behind burning books for any cause.
I think I will quietly slip them into the recycling can and try to erase you, Mr. King, and your stories from my memory. I am done with you.

Not a lot of people know who Adam McKay is but he's Will Ferrell's best friend. They met on SNL when McKay was the head writer. He's responsible for such brilliant films as Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Step Brother, The Other Guys and the co-founder of Funny or Die. I love it when he's behind the camera. He seems to put out top shelf entertainment and some of the funniest films ever made. Get Hard has all the feel of an Adam McKay movie but it's not. He just came up with the story and the rest was outsourced to a first-time director and that's where it went wrong.
Will Ferrell is one of the funniest, if not the funniest, people alive today. He could look into the camera and read from the Wall Street Journal and make it funny. He's joined by Kevin Hart in this film (hear my full interview with him below), a king of comedy in his own right. The premise of the film seems hilarious enough -- a millionaire douchebag is going to jail but before he does he hires a black man, he assumes has been to jail because he's black, to teach him how to survive prison. Sure, it's a racist premise but it's not the first time a comedy has been made that set out to poke us in our collective racial sensitivity. But for some reason, this plot just kind of sucked.
Another big problem with the film is that director Etan Cohen doesn't have the experience to pull the plug on a scene before it wears out its welcome. There are moments in Get Hard that are amazingly funny but then go on for another few minutes and that negates whatever comedic progress was made in the scene before that. Not to mention that some bits in the film don't work at all from the very beginning and they go on too long as well. It makes those particular moments especially frustrating to watch. Cohen chooses to go for shock instead of actual comedy for much of the film.
Ferrell and Hart are funny in the film though despite a lousy script. That might be my own bias about them as performers though. They don't have a ton of chemistry but given the nature of their characters, that's fine. Ferrell is known for ad libbing and improvising most of his dialogue and Hart comes across as someone who sticks to the script. I'm not sure how much of that went on in Get Hard but if I had to guess, it was a lot.
I appreciate what McKay and his crew for Get Hard try to do with the social/political message they have in this. I also appreciate how hard they try to get that message across and still create a funny film, which they did for the most part. Get Hard isn't the total disaster that some are saying but it's far from the success the premise could have made it. When you put two of the funniest working comics in a movie together the expectations of greatness should be reached. They're not. And that is the real crime.
Listen to Kevin Hart on the Wake Up Call:

Google in 2000
What search engine did you use in 2000? It's very likely that the answer is not Google. Three months before Google became the default search provider for Yahoo, Google's search results looked slightly different than they look today. Google showed relevant categories from DMOZ, the snippets were much shorter, the "related pages" feature was called GoogleScout, "I'm Feeling Lucky" was added to every search results pages and you could choose the number of search results from a drop-down. At that time, Google didn't offer any specialized search engine, but it added at the bottom of the page a list of links to competitors (you probably used one of those search engines). The number of search results was much smaller because Google only indexed around 200 million web pages and Google was still looking for ways to monetize the search engine.
Google still hosts a search results page from April 2000, even if it's slightly modified because it was a part of an April Fool's Day prank called Mentalplex. Here's a slightly updated search results page from later that year.
The same year, Google introduced text ads, but they were rather primitive. "Google has recently started to include text-only banner ads on their search engine, but you may have not noticed the change because most searches currently don't include a banner ad along with the search results," reported tomalak.org in January 2000. Here's how the advertising system worked at that time:
"Google uses its Patent-Pending PageRank Technology and sophisticated query classification to create a Virtual Directory. In other words, Google categorizes the thousands of different search queries into the Internet's most popular and targeted areas. Advertisers simply select from a wide range of available categories most appropriate to their business. Google will match the appropriate ads to the category most relevant to the user's search."
The web could still be approximated by directories, collections of high-quality sites manually categorized by editors. In March 2000, Google integrated data from the Open Directory Project: "1.5 million entries, arranged in over 200,000 categories, selected and maintained by a volunteer corps of more than 22,000 editors." Larry Page concluded that "the addition of Netscape's Open Directory Project creates the most comprehensive and robust search resource for finding information and browsing the Web. We've combined the best aspects of search and directories to create an enhanced tool for easy access to information contained on the Web."
Google's traffic started to grow at an alarming rate. "Google ended 1999 averaging about 7 million searches each day, a roughly 70,000% increase over the 10,000 searches per day that were performed on the Google site in December 1998! This explosive growth reflects the total number of searches performed by users on www.google.com and on our corporate partner sites. As of the middle of January, we are averaging more than 10 million searches each day," reported Sergey Brin and Larry Page in the company's newsletter. Google wasn't satisfied and launched an affiliate program that enticed webmasters to add a Google search box to their sites. "By signing up for our affiliate program (...) you'll be able to place a Google search box on your site and begin receiving 3 cents for each search you send our way." At the end of 2000, Google handled more than 100 million search queries a day.
2000 was also the year when Matt Cutts joined Google. "When I joined in 2000, Google was a scrappy underdog search engine. Back then, Altavista was vastly more popular and reported 50 million searches a day. Google was popular among savvy webmasters and at many universities, and usage was growing quickly by word-of-mouth, but the smart folks at Google were eager for the company to be more well-known."
An example of positive feedback from 2000 (Usenet, via Google Groups):
"Try www.google.com. I've been most impressed with its ability to return good, relevant hits. Another big bonus with Google is that the site is almost completely clear of bandwidth-hogging graphics and advertising. The web site has to be the fastest I've ever seen."
2000 is the year that made Google a successful search engine, even if many people wondered what's the revenue strategy. "The company's adamant refusal to use banner or other graphical ads eliminates what is the most lucrative income stream for rival search engines. Although Google does have other revenue sources, such as licensing and text-based advertisements, the privately held company's business remains limited compared with its competitors," concluded Business Week in December 2000. "Now comes Google's big test. Can it keep forswearing pay-for-placement deals that allow commercial sites to buy high rankings in searches? Yahoo has begun cutting these deals in droves, matching lesser competitor LookSmart. But Brin says he isn't worried: When somebody searches for 'cancer,' should you put up the site that paid you or the site that has better information? Brin is betting better information will win the day. "

On the eve of today's GOP 1st District primary runoff, Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch released an internal poll that indicated she would be competitive with either Republican candidate in the May 7 election.
The Lake Research Partners survey shows Colbert Busch ahead of former Gov. Mark Sanford by 47 percent to 44 percent and leading former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic by 48-39.
The poll of 500 voters was conducted a week ago and had a 4.4 percent margin of error.
Go to postandcourier.com/first-district for additional coverage.
Colbert Busch, a political newcomer, has shown solid fundraising ability, but she is still considered an underdog because a Democrat hasn't won the 1st Congressional District since 1980.

Dear Scott: I can't ever get my hair to look like it does when I leave the salon. Can you give me some simple pointers to help me make my hair look like the pros did it?
Answer: Keep in mind that you don't have arms coming out of your back, so the results that you get at the salon are always going to be a little better than what you can do for yourself.
Shampoo: Start at the beginning with a top quality product. Gentle cleansing is a must for the best finished results. Natural oils produced by the body should remain contained within the hair shaft while excess oils are removed.
Condition: Great conditioning is the next step for shiny, healthy looking hair. A good conditioner will absorb into the cuticle. The rest should rinse off. To make hair more shiny, rinse conditioner with cool water to close the cuticle layer of the hair shaft, sealing the product inside. If your hair is thinning or fine, condition the scalp instead of the hair to promote healthy growth and prevent limp hair.
Style: Don't forget to add something for hold and manageability as the third step for successful results. A healthy scalp needs to breath. Choose products that don't coat the scalp. Styling products will create volume and distribute weight, allowing movement and memory to the style. Add heaviness to overly curly hair with a styling paste. Foaming mousse will provide lighter hold for airy whips. Use a gel for stronger holding power. Gel-foam products give you the best of both in one easy step.
Heat: Dry hair immediately. Air drying will cause the base of hair to become distorted from drying flat against the head. Blow-drying will lift the hair up off the scalp, adding fullness and volume. Tabletop dryers give air-dried looks without the frizz. They can also be used to dry curly hair straight. Comb the hair flat before drying, and then fluff it at the end with a blow dryer. If drying without heat, use a T-shirt to wrap the hair up while it dries. Terrycloth towels cause distortion from the hair getting caught in the fibers of the towel.
Finish: Aerosol finishing is best for the final touch. Non-aerosol spritzing products increase dry time, making the style either collapse or explode into frizz. An aerosol spray needs some alcohol for the quick-drying needed for a good finished look, but too much alcohol will dry the hair. Spray should be water soluble. Use a product that will not coat the hair or scalp. Any leftover residue will complicate your styling efforts the next time around. Spray into the brush for added styling control.
Touch-ups: Wet your hands and shake out the excess water. Run your fingers through the hair to reactivate the styling products that are already in there. For fuller styling, turn your head upside down and rake through it with the water in your fingers. For tighter styles, smash it down and rake it out with your hands after it's dry.

Study Participants Needed: Pregnancy Phenotype and Predisposition to Preeclampsia
This research study seeks to understand the relationship between a woman's health and physiology prior to pregnancy and the risk of developing preeclampsia during pregnancy, as well as to gain insights into improved ways to both prevent and treat it. We are recruiting women who are planning to become pregnant within the next year and who might be at risk for the development of preeclampsia during pregnancy. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant soon and fit into one of the following categories, please contact the study coordinator:
1) If you are between 18 and 42 years old and planning to conceive your first child,
2) If you have diabetes, OR have a personal OR family history of hypertension, OR
3) If you have had preeclampsia in a prior pregnancy.
If you choose to participate, you will undergo testing on 3 occasions, one prior to pregnancy and 2 during your pregnancy. For each visit, you will be provided meals for 3 days prior to your appointment. For those who do not live locally in Vermont, 3 days of a food diary can be done instead of meals being provided. During the initial visit, researchers will ensure you are not pregnant before allowing you to continue in the study. Using ultrasound and MRI, the way blood flows in your body will be measured. You will spend one night in the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at Fletcher Allen during each visit. Ovulation detection kits will be provided to aid your timing in achieving conception. Financial compensation of up to $375 is provided.
We are focusing on the northeast region of the United States because of concerns about travel, but if anyone is willing to come from further away, we certainly would not deny you! The main concern is that while we can offer some funds for reimbursement and travel expenses, the further you travel, the more it costs. Unfortunately we do have a limited budget.
Alsoif you are not interested/eligible for inclusion, please inform any friends or family members who may be able to travel to Vermont. We are also recruiting women who are trying for their first child.

In the years that I've written for Business Jet Traveler, I've discussed nearly everything that affects your choices as a charter user. There's at least one factor I haven't covered, though: the FBO or fixed-base operator, through whose lobby you pass to board your charter jet.

The fractional aircraft business is fascinating, in part because it is founded upon several myths, partial-truths and artificial constructs that are both pleasing for owners and profitable for providers. In many ways, fractional flying is more akin to using an executive airline than to owning a whole aircraft.

With new business jet delivery slots stretching out as far as 2015 and acquisition costs hitting the high side of $40 million, a growing number of buyers are foregoing factory-fresh models in favor of refurbished used airplanes at a fraction of the cost.

All takeoffs are optional but all landings are mandatory. It's one of those clever dark-humor catchphrases that permeate aviation and it speaks an unerring truth. Once you break ground and clear the security of the runway, you've left behind the one option that absolutely guarantees you will not have an airplane crash today.
June 1, 2007
When I founded The Air Charter Guide in 1985, almost all charter companies expressed prices in dollars and cents per statute mile to the destination, with the operator's cost to return included. Operators found it easy to present prices that way. And passengers could look at any map, see the distance to their destination and calculate the cost.

A key advantage of owning an airplane is that it becomes an extension of your home. You can fill the cabin with all sorts of creature comforts, such as your daughter's favorite teddy bear or your son's video games. The cabin might also be host to one or more actual creatures, such as the prize Papillon dog your wife carries around in her large pink purse.

The oxygen mask drops from the ceiling. You know what to do because your pilots or flight attendant briefed you before takeoff. Give the lanyard a tug, place the mask over your mouth and breathe.

It took four years after the 9/11 attacks for the Department of Homeland Security to reopen Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to general aviation traffic. These days, though, flying a business jet into the heart of the nation's capital is easier than you might think.

The $47.95 million Gulfstream G550 mates the latest bells and whistles to an airframe-engine combination that can deliver eight passengers and a crew of four to destinations up to 6,750 nautical miles away. That's Tokyo to Palm Beach nonstop in 12.5 hours, with reserves.

I have a tan leather apple 5S case, I tried alcohol wipe and noticed it was also removing the leather colour!
Sent from the iMore App
Apple made a re-entry to the accessories market with the launch of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, one of which is the range of pretty awesome looking leather cases for the 5s. One problem – much less obvious if you got the black – is that leather attracts dirt. General dirt, grease, the stain from the inside of your jeans pocket, it's almost impossible to prevent.
Indeed, I picked up a (Product) RED leather case for my own iPhone 5s around 10 days ago, and it's already looking a little second hand. But, think about the leather seats inside a car. They get dirty, and a little tired, but they also get cared for, cleaned and treated to keep them looking their best and prolonging the usable life. The Apple iPhone 5s case isn't a cheap phone case, so it's not an unusual idea to apply the same tactics to caring for it, right?
So, if you've got any tips or tricks you've already tried to help keep your case looking its best, we want to hear from you. Personally, for light staining and general dirty marks, I find regular old baby wipes can be a useful thing to keep lying around. Especially if you've got a few leather products in your household.
So, jump into the comments below with your own experiences, tips and tricks. Or perhaps you're perfectly OK with the 'distressed' look achieved after many days in a jeans pocket? Or maybe you avoided the leather cases for this very reason? We'd love to hear from you!

That was the worse idea ever! Good way to try out any leather fast! Go to the car section and get leather cleaner and leather conditioner. Don't get the conviction type as it doesn't let the conditioner soak in as much for better protection against drying and protection against the elements. Caring for a leather case takes just minute and will last forever as long as you take the time to do so. Most heavy oils for conditioning will change the look and feel drastically, so stay away from oils if you don't want that kind of change.

Clean with alcohol wipe. Then put some baby oil or moisturizing lotion. Will look slick with time.
Put a couple coats of Kiwi neutral shoe polish on your case before you use it. After each coat, polish with a shoe brush. This will seal the leather and keep the dirt off. It will also be protected from liquids. I have the brown case and it didn't change color. Can't speak to the other colors. This has a further benefit of making the case less slippery.
did you try? did it work?
you tried this 7 months ago, so tell me, is still your case totally clean? i want to purchase the brown one, but i'm not sure, because the bad comments
Sorry for my english. Do not buy such a case. I have a beige one. After six monthes I have the Known dirt problem, but the most serious is the loose of its original texture, mainly on the corners and borders, what makes it look much more dirty than it really is.
Try dropping it, as the tissue-thin layer of leather shreds when it hits the ground, you won't care whether it's dirty or not -- you'll just start to wonder which case you >should< have purchased ;-)
I found that out yesterday when I dropped the black one -- luckily the case prevented any damage to my iPhone, but where the case hit the sidewalk the leather disintegrated on contact...
Try a magic eraser. I use them on white leather shoes.
You should try a leather case from this website :
It´s just perfect for the iPhone 5 or 5S!

Got mine after an hour from posting, i should say its okay, i was previously applied zagg leather skin for my iphone and its peeled off so i try this leather case. The problem i got is the dirts show near camera hole, which i think it happens to all hard cases.
Good news is i tried putting it into my jeans pocket, thought the dirts will stick to the leather just like any other silicon case, but it didnt. I wouldnt say its a dirt magnet.
I really want the black leather case for my silver 5s but I keep hearing how fast it wears and how dirty it gets. The cases are pretty expensive so I want it to last. I really can't make up my mind.
They get dirty very easy I got this same color "Red" and I am about to call apple for refund.
Sent from the iMore App
well I'm huge in keeping my car/trucks clean so i enjoy detailing them so i got lot great stuff around the house but i use my leather cleaner and leather conditioner on my red one and its like new http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-131-adams-leather-interior-cleaner.aspx
I was seriously considering this case but I read a lot of reviews about it getting dirty fast. I did some research on the type of leather the case has and this is what I found:
ANILINE leather's are very porous and delicate and do not perform in everyday use as well as protected leather.
Being porous the ANILINE will absorb dirt, oils and grime and these will eventually block the pores of the hide and ruin the feel and finish. It is also susceptible to fading, even with indirect sunlight the colour can change dramatically.
The low durability factor means that basically it cannot be cleaned. It will also mark and stain rather easily.
I got this from a leather website. I have decided to go with a Sena case because they use premium leather with their cases and will last longer. Hope this helps.
There are a lot of automotive leather cleaner and sealers that are perfect for any leather case. Mothers Brand Cleaner and Condition or Turtlewax branded cleaner conditioner are two the come to mind and both are designed specifically for car seats that similar tend to get grubby really fast. Though I haven't thought about purchasing one of the cases to use on my iPhone 5 and kind of still like the 99 cents cover that I bought (even though I've bought expensive ones including a leather wallet style case I still go back to the cheapest of the cheap clear plastic cover) I just cannot bring myself to hide the phone away from view.
Though I have used the Mothers Conditioner on other leather products and been happy with the results.
Sorry about stating the obvious but get a black version. It's true mine is only a couple of weeks old but it's perfect.
This ...
I have the brown and I love the more color it gets. It adds a certain look to it that I like. I don't consider it "dirt"...just "character"
I wash my hands
I have had a red case for a week now, and even though we had one for our other (which got traded for a black for this reason), my red case looks better than new because I have applied a good leather conditioner that makes it feel (and smell) great. I got the conditioner at walmart in the shoe section and it says to apply it once every couple of weeks and I plan to do just that, so that it keeps looking new. Red was the only case I liked, and hope they come out with a navy blue case which would be amazing :)
Wonder how well the leather Protectants for hats and shoes would work for this.
My local Apple Store did NOT replace it. They pointed to the disclaimer stating that the appearance will change over time.
Just remember that leather is basically skin so anything that would dry your skin out will do the same to leather. Avoid anything with silicon in it as it will dry leather out in no time. I use Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner on my car seats and on my case. After using any quality leather product cleaner/conditioner, your own skin should feel pretty good as well as you are basically cleaning and moisturizing.

I didn't like any of the cases I'd seen and thought they looked cheap.
I use saddle soap (look for it anywhere shoe polish is sold; it's in a similary shaped can). Saddle Soap. It's not really soap, you just rub it on--it cleans, moisturizes, and protects any leather.
Bought a Red one and looked awful after 4 weeks. Took it back to London store and they swapped it without even wanting a receipt. Before using the new on I gave it a few coats of Leather Protection Spray and still looks like new 2 weeks after. Will apply a new coat every few weeks.
I'm taking my red one back. Not even 4 days out of the package and has been in my pockets and a couple of clean desks. I'm not obsessive compulsive but owning this case will make me such person. Bareback anyone? Should my iphone just do the full Monty in style? The other pain about this case is of you need to get your phone out of it. I don't want to have to buy shoe polish for my phone case.
I bought the brown case and after about 3 days the case looked super bad all black sides so I took it to apple with the box and they gave me a new one. This time before I used the case I went to Walmart and purchased a can of "KIWI protect all" for about $7 and coated the case to where it was thick and smooth. I let it dry and then repeated the steps about 8 - 10 times. When the case gets scratches or dirty I simply coat it again with protect all and wipe it off.. let it dry and then coat it again for protection. Seems that the actual coating is the one that gets dirty and scratched so spaying it with protect all and cleaning it and then re coating it does the trick. I have had the case for about 3 weeks now and it is looking awesome. I can see the case aging now but the color is a good color like leather is supposed to look when aging.
Hope it helps guys and believe me best case by far. Just make sure to use protect all.
Great tip! I will give Kiwi Protect All a try.
In the past for cleaning the leather, I would just get a can of Pledge or the the Pledge Wet Wipes, as they have a line that is used to clean leather sofas, and it works great on my leather cases as well.
I didn't get the Apple leather case, but got a leather one customized here:
Cost about the same, but I get to choose from a wide variety of crazy colors and textures.
The whole point of a case is to provide protection for the phone from minor scratches, drops, bumps and keep the phone looking good; this is what the case is for so if you are now having to also worry about keeping a case looking clean/good then you have purchased a rubbish case and there are many out there including the expensive ones!
A good case should look good and be very low maintenance, if simply wiping/brushing it is not enough to keep it clean then it's a fail, you should return it for a better one.

I bought the red case, and by reading all of this comments I only use it on important events

Picked this up at my local Chanel counter and wow I am impressed! Im not usually one for lip glosses but fell for this shade when seeing it on swatches and blogs.
When I applied it it slid on easily and effortless and my lips were a vampish purpley pink shade that really complimented my skin tone.
It is a little pricey but so worth it for the quality and pigmentation. I would recommend wearing this without eyeshadow though for best effect.
Chanel Crushed Cherry Glossimer ($29.50 for 0.19 fl. oz.) is a bold, berry-red with a glossy shine. MAC Plum Fun is more plum and has shimmer. MAC Lasting Achievement is much darker and has shimmer. MAC Rebel is purper. NARS Bougainville is slightly more berry-hued. NYX Burgundy is not quite as red and has shimmer.

animal rescue: tesla
Nicknames: Tesla Rose is named for Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American inventor/physicist best know for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system—and the very cool Tesla Coil which emits high voltage electric discharges that create a pretty good light show.
Tesla's middle name, Rose, comes from the movie Titanic. There's a scene where Rose poses naked for Jack on a couch. Early on we realized Tess loved lying on her back for a good tummy rub—and her favorite place for it is on our red velvet couch. She sometimes even brings one of her front paws up over her head, similar to Kate Winslet's pose!
Before she was famous: Tess is a 3 year old beagle/Australian shepherd mix. She was adopted in October 2011 from a P.A.W.S. shelter in Tinley Park. We don't know much about her past, but just days before she was adopted, the P.A.W.S. staff found Tesla at a kill shelter in Indiana. She was a bit beat up with a split tongue and crooked jaw, and she had just had a litter of puppies. They brought her across the border to Illinois, where they were able to find her a loving home.
Talent Show: Tesla has lots of energy and loves to play with everyone. She likes nothing better than meeting new people—she gets so excited when someone new opens the door that she spins in circles and jumps up and down until they flip her on her back and give her a good scratch.
Tesla's best friend is another beagle mix named Darwin. Tesla chases Darwin around and around the yard as fast as she can—and when Darwin finally lets her catch him, they wrestle for hours.
Favorite Snacks: Her favorite treats are peanut butter, deer hooves and fresh bones from her grandpa the hunter.
Cat and dog adoption fast facts:
…approximately 4 million pet dogs and cats are euthanized each year due to overpopulation.
…25% of pet dogs euthanized in animal shelters are purebred.
…adopting a dog or cat from the Humane Society, ASPCA—any rescue group—can save their life.
…and, being a pet owner can add years to your life too.

Released less than 24 hours ago…here are the first official photos of the little Royal Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge with his parents, the Duke William and Duchess Kate. These images were taken by the Duchess' father, Michael Middleton, in the garden of the Middleton family's home in Bucklebury, Berkshire.
The simplicity and beauty we see in these photos reminds us that although they are royalty, they treasure their family & new baby the same as we do. Those of us lucky enough to have a loving family know first-hand how enjoyable it is to celebrate such a momentous event with loved ones close at hand. We can clearly see how much they love little George and relate to their feelings of pride and excitement. Seeing Kate & William so relaxed and in such a bucolic environment reminds us of why we love these unique royals so much.
Although we here at DRIA can not speak for everyone… we are SUPER excited to see some more photos. We have already seen how Kate rocked the fashion world with her style and thrifty shopping. Now we are starting to see how she has influenced maternity wear just by being photographed in few choice outfits. The Royal Prince has followed in his mom's footsteps and has already started a fashion following of his own by being wrapped in such a cute swaddling blanket after birth. A few photos of the Royal Prince in his Swaddling blanket has started such a craze that the company announced they have a waiting list after selling out hours after the prince came out of the hospital. Perhaps soon we may find Kate in her Dria Cover, breastfeeding the Royal Prince, or perhaps we will get a glimpse of the little prince wrapped up and snuggled in his mommy's Dria cover ; )
Have you seen these pics yet? What do you love most about them? Leave a comment below.

Every human being dies at least twice.
And everybody knows how and why they died the first time, it doesn`t have to be the same reason for everybody.
After that first death, you can try to fool yourself, to pretend like nothing has happened, but still, somehow you know you are dead.
You can, lets say, move to another country, change your hairstyle, lose some weight, maybe even change your name. Maybe you can try to find interest in something new, so you can hide behind that, but you know that the lethal wound is there, that you are dead.
Maybe you can even find a new love, but only if that person has already died as well. So you don`t have to explain anything, so you understand each other without words and you can avoid each others lethal wounds.
The ones you died from.
The only hope left is, that when you die that second, final time, it won`t hurt as much as it did the first time.
Did you ever die yet?

CRESTVIEW — Tim Hatten's second year as Crestview High School's football coach starts Thursday with spring practice's opening.
The Bulldogs will need a replacement for defensive end Denzel Ware, who will play football at the University of Kentucky.
Crestview also has taken a hit on the offensive side, with rising senior running back Emmanuel Reed transferred out of the program.
But Hatten doesn't spend time thinking about players lost; rather, he chooses to focus on those who are on his roster.
"You have kids come and you have kids go," he said. "The players we have concern me more than anyone not in my program, and that's kind of how you have to deal with it."
3 quarterbacks, developing skills
Hatten expects year two to be easier than year one, if for no other reasons than players being familiar with his offense and quarterbacks better understanding the offensive scheme.
Rising junior Corey Armstrong started the 2013 season's last half at quarterback and is the man to beat heading into the 2014 season. Rising junior Alex Maxwell started for the junior varsity last year, and rising sophomore Rusty Moorer started for the freshman team.
"The big thing is we've got three guys that played in our system last year," Hatten said. "The first-year quarterback is really hard to predict. The second year is a little bit easier.
"They have a grasp on what you are trying to do and how you are trying to do it. Their reads are a little more easy. They are little more comfortable."
All three quarterbacks have made considerable progress during the off season, and Hatten said he looks forward to seeing how they will continue to develop.
Even with Reed's departure, the Bulldogs will be deep at running back and, Hatten said, "I feel great about our running backs."
He also likes the returning receivers, and said to expect some defensive starters to get touches on offense this year.
"We like what we are going to do," Hatten said. "We think it's going to be a challenge (for defenses) with the people we have at the perimeter (wide receiver), the slot receiver position, running back and quarterback.
"We think getting ready for us is going to a little more difficult and we are excited about that."
More athleticism, more aggressiveness
The Bulldog defense stood strong last year, and Hatten expects more of the same this year.
"I feel really good about defense as a whole," he said. "We think we can be every bit as aggressive as we were last year with a little more athleticism. We feel good about that."
The Bulldogs were 5-5 last year with a big win over rival Niceville High School.
With a foundation established in 2013, Hatten hopes to continue to get better.
"We are just hoping to build on what success we had last year and move the program forward," he said. "We want to establish some continuity and make sure you have a decent off-season program.
"If you make sure they are doing what they are supposed to in the classroom and conduct-wise, everything else will take care itself."

Innersense Organic Beauty, I Love My Hair!, Volume, Volumizing Lotion, 8.5 fl oz (250 ml)
By Innersense Organic Beauty1 Review
Expiration Date:?Jan 2019
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.71 lbs (0.32 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

When it comes to taxes, credits are the preferred way to cut your bill.
While deductions, either itemized or standard, reduce your amount of taxable income, credits cut your actual tax bill, dollar-for-dollar.
That's because credits come into play after your tax liability is figured. So if you owe Uncle Sam $500, a $250 tax credit will cut your
bill in half.
Similarly, some credits are more valuable than others.
Refundable credits may eliminate any tax you owe and provide you with a refund.
So even if your tax bill is zero, you could get money back from the Internal Revenue Service thanks to a refundable credit.
Nonrefundable credits can take your tax down to nothing, but you can't get money back from the government.
These credits can't be used to get a refund on your tax return. When your tax bill reaches zero, any leftover credit amount is wasted. With the adoption credit, however, you can carry forward unused amounts from year to year until the credit is absorbed or the carry-forward period expires, whichever is first. Watch: "Filing taxes - software vs. accountant"
Your choice of tax return also could affect your credit claims. The earned income credit is the only one that can be taken by Form 1040EZ filers. To get the benefit of the other credits, you must use Form 1040 or Form 1040A, and some of these credits require you to fill out additional forms.

Partagas Black Label Magnifico Reviews
write your own review
Wonderfully constructed cigar with a nearly black wrapper. Burn was a bit inconsistent but the flavor was very full. Will definitely smoke again.
I have tried many maduro handmade cigars that were weak and poorly constructed until I found the Partagas Black Label. I have been enjoying the Partagas Black Label Magnifico for years. When I read the negative reviews spouting poor draw, short ash, one note flavor , and cigars that go out ; I question what they were smoking before they finally tried a Partagas. I love the full flavor and I really enjoy the length of time I have to enjoy this cigar due to its long burn. You need to try these cigars. You will not be sorry!
I have basically been a daily cigar smoker for about the last 35 years. This cigar was once a staple in my humidor. It was my go-to smoke about five years ago, but the quality of the roll began to fall off around 2009. It became too tight of a draw and the burn was consitantly uneven. Each stick became difficult to complete without relighting and an occasional stem would protrude through the wrapper. I put them down until trying another in 2011 and another in 2012. It was just more of the same. What a shame because this was once one of the finest cigars available at this price point. I sincerely hope that these cigars will once again be in my humidor.
With any Partagas Black when removed frm the wrapper or tube you will likely feel they are hard to the touch, let them breathe for a few weeks at least in your humidor until you notice they are softer. The draw will be looser and they will burn better. They are worth the wait as they are one of the most flavorful for the price.
While I have had some great cigars and have a sense of what a good smoking experience should be, I am in no way one of these jargon-happy aficionados. I just like a good smoke from time to time. Ok, so my stand-by is a Sancho Panza double maduro alicante. Wanting to deviate from my routine, I picked up a Partagas Magnifico. As the price was double my usual cigar, and because the salesperson hyped it a bit, I had fairly high expectations. It lit well enough (soft flame), burned well enough, but I found the flavor a bit one-dimensional. I decided not to be critical until I finished it, after all, maybe the second half would take me to a new and completely different place. Not so much. After a slow, somewhat tedious (read: golf ball through a straw), and relatively flat smoke... it died. Just died. I was in mid smoke and suddenly I realized I was pulling on cooling ash. Then a slight crack up the side. I actually tried to relight it, which tasted terrible, ruined my whole experience, and I ended up throwing basically half a cigar (5-6" maybe) away. On my porch, with my dogs, iced black Americano in front of me, sun shining, nothing to do but enjoy this thing... and it died. Very disappointing.
From the start to the finish this cigar has a range of flavors. Nutty, with hints of chocolate. I have tried other Maduro wrapped cigars, but this has to be the best buy around. I will definitely order another box. They are tightly wrapped, but I didn?t have any problems smoking them. If you are looking for a quick smoke this is not for you. If you want a good cigar to savor with some single malt then give this one a try. The construction is very good and the ash stays in place.
It's pointless to make a cigar you can't draw smoke from!!! I'm shocked they haven't found a decent roller...get with the program Partagas!
Impossible to draw these! Had to cut in half to even smoke these. Had one good cigar in 20 that was good draw.
The draw was very good and the taste and quality have been consistently great. construction was very good as well.
These cigars are impossible to draw off.
