LightSquared, a company that has had problem with GPS interference for their GPS devices such unlocked Motorola Atrix, Samsung Infuse, etc.. is now creating the rural America initiative. The company promises that their new initiative will be more of a help and it will be a hindrance. You're going back to take another look at their 4G LTE service, that is already signed up alongside a number of partners. The company is looking to increase the coverage of rural American areas with their GPS devices. The company is known for creating GPS devices that look to limit the amount of pesticides that are accidentally sprayed in crops throughout rural America. Because of recent GPS interference glitches, the company has had a very hard time controlling the spread of pesticides, a promise that the company made many small farm owners.
Along with the guidelines that the company has proposed, they are looking to assist emergency first responders if the existing communication lines for some reason are not working. LightSquared is not the first company to have to deal with the flaws of moving to a broadband adoption, issues are known to constantly arise in areas that are underserved in terms of coverage. This can be very difficult, especially when these areas are relying on a broadband connection for vital emergency services.
It is good to see that the company is looking for ways to fix the problems that they have run into over the course of the last few weeks. The GPS interference problems seem to be fixed, and unlocked cell phone users Such as unlocked iphone, HTC Evo, etc.. have not reported in recent issues with their coverage. It is also good to see that the company is taking initiative, and looking for ways that they can have backup plans in place in case further outages arise. This information was released in an official press statement from where.

TC Electronics famous stereo chorus flanger floor pedal. The ultimate stereo chorus flanger pedal.
If there's one thing that TC Electronic is known for more than anything else, it's asking "how can we do it better?" They've asked that question about a lot of different gear, from effects pedals to amplifiers and more. Although they started small, their honest approach to improving stage and studio hardware has led to TC Electronic amplifiers & effects becoming some of the most popular and sought-after musical electronics on the market today. No matter where you play or what sort of musician you are, it's a safe bet that TC has more than a few options that are right up your alley.
The history of TC Electronic began with an outstanding chorus & pitch modulator and flanger pedal, and the descendants of that stompbox are still the cornerstones of the lineup. Effects like the TC Electronic Corona Chorus TonePrint Series Guitar Effects Pedal and Vortex Flanger TonePrint Series Guitar Effects Pedal are carrying on the legendary TC reputation. They've even drawn support from some of the biggest artists in the biz, which has led to collaborations like the John Petrucci Dreamscape Signature Pedal. This unit, like most of TC's pedals, features their "TonePrint" system, which allows you to download unlimited custom tones for an unrivalled amount of customization.

Consumer Reports: How to get a great TV picture
Buying a new TV is a big purchase. And, of course, you want your picture to dazzle. There are professionals you can hire to calibrate your TV, but that costs hundreds! Consumer Reports' testers have simple steps you can take to improve your TV's picture that don't cost a dime.
In the stores, the TVs are set up to really pop and catch your eye underneath those bright fluorescent lights. But that's not the lighting you're going to have in your living room.
The first thing you'll probably see when you turn on your new TV is the option that indicates a "Home" or "Store" setting. Obviously, go for the "Home" one.
Next, you'll want to select the picture mode. Freeze the set on an image with faces and plenty of detail.
Check the picture options in your menu. If your TV has a "THX" mode, then go with that. If not, then look for settings called "Movie," "Cinema," or "Pro." Any one of those settings should give you the most natural-looking picture.
You'll see modes such as "Vivid" or "Dynamic," but avoid those! Though they might sound good, the picture ends up overly bright and harsh.
There are also a number of settings you should turn off completely, including "Noise Reduction" and "Edge Enhancer." You should also turn off the "Power Save" mode.
In general, you want to turn the "Blur Reduction" features on to get the sharpest picture in fast-moving scenes. But that is often coupled with a "Motion Smoothing" feature that you want to turn off, because it's going to make film content look more like a soap opera, which is not ideal.
Keeping your TV screen clean also improves the picture. But Consumer Reports says to never use window cleaner, alcohol, ammonia, or paper towels, which can damage the screen. Instead turn off your TV and let it cool, and then wipe it gently with a microfiber cloth.

Josephine "Ann" Harris didn't know that her hero, President Barack Obama, would be having breakfast at her restaurant until shortly before his motorcade showed up.
Around 8:30 a.m. on Friday, July 6, the small diner, known as Ann's Place, became the first stop on the second day of President Obama's bus tour of Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to a news story written by a team of Akron Beacon Journal writers.
"You know it's great," Harris, 70, said Friday morning, shortly after Obama left her family-owned restaurant, reporters wrote.
The president had two eggs over easy, bacon, wheat toast, orange juice, water and grits. It was actually his second breakfast of the day (much like the Hobbits in The Lord of the Rings) – his first was salmon and sea bass at the Hilton hotel where he had stayed overnight.
"He treated us like one of the brothers," [Harris] said. "He hugged all of us and ... got his picture taken with all of us."
Just a few hours after President Obama left, Harris, who had suffered two heart attacks and a stroke earlier this year, went home, complaining of fatigue and a tingling feeling. She was rushed to Akron General Medical Center, where she died about 11:15 a.m.
The president called Harris' family that afternoon to express his condolences.
"As a small-business owner, a mother, a sister, a grandmother, a great-grandmother and friend of many throughout the community, Ann led an exceptional life and will be missed by all who knew her," Greg Schultz, the Ohio director of Obama's campaign said in an emailed statement. "Ann and her family are in our thoughts and prayers."
Restaurant patrons described Harris as a nice lady, who made everyone feel like they were more than just a customer. "She treated you like one of the family," one customer said.
Many celebrities had eaten at Ann's Place over the last 30 years, Harris' family said. But the presidential visit was extra special.
Her sister, Frankie Adkins, told reporters, "I'm sure this was her highlight," she said. "She loved Obama."

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Several months ago, Carbon officials thought they had adopted fire flow volumes and pressures that could be applied county-wide.
But in mid-August, the county's planning and zoning department received a letter from the Utah Division of Environmental Quality questioning some of the parameters set by the local officials.
In a recent meeting, the county adopted various pressures depending on where a water system would be installed. Carbon officials had established a 45 pound per square inch pressure and a 200 gallon per minute flow in mountain home subdivisions.
But the letter from Dave Ariotti, the state division's district engineer, questioned the specifications.
In the correspondence, the district engineer indicated he liked the idea that the county had come up with the provisions for fire flow.
But Ariotti said he felt the minimum fire flow ought to be 250 gallons per minute and that the 45 psi peak demand pressure was probably too high.
"I don't believe a 45 psi minimum pressure at peak demand including fire (flow) is practical as this could push the normal operating pressures (of the water distribution system) too high, forcing use of system and/or individual pressure reducing valves," stated the engineer. "These devices add additional maintenance, which is difficult for small (water) systems."
Ariotti also specified that there is a minimum 30,000 gallon storage requirement for similar water systems. The requirement is designed to ensure that the 250 gallons of water per minute can be maintained for 120 minutes.
"That storage capacity requirement was not something I was aware of," said planning and zoning director Dave Levanger. "That is something we need to look at. As for the changes in the flow levels I kind of like that number because it takes the middle ground between our required levels in the valley (500 gallons per minute) and what we were thinking about for the mountain developments."
The issue resurfaced because the final approvals for phases one and two of the Scofield Mountain Estates was on the agenda at the Carbon County Planning and Zoning Board meeting Tuesday and the requirements directly affect the development project.
"We will do whatever is needed to provide for the proper flows," said Jared Brown, the developer of the 56 lot project that is west of the present Aspen Cove mountain subdivision. Brown and his engineer maintain that the 60,000 tanks they are installing will provide the 45 psi and that the springs that supply the tanks can fill them within two days based on the flow that have been measured..
"I know there has been concern about the water supply there, but I have the permit work completed to drill a well if we need to do that to provide water to the development," pointed out Brown. "However, even in the long drought that has gone on for years, those springs continue to supply the same amount of water they did almost two years ago when they were first measured."
Levanger said that with the new information from the state, the department will be taking the a new revision on the pressure and flow standards for approval to the county commission.
Brown's development also brought about a discussion about septic systems as well.
"I am concerned that the requirements the health department uses don't meet what we are looking for in terms of what we see as being correct," said zoning commission member Lynna Topolovec.
But Levanger told her that he wasn't sure the county had or could put requirements on that part of development as long as the the developers were following what the health department required.
Brown then explained that he had personally dug many of the perk test holes and that all of them had tested correctly according to the parameters of what the health department required.
"This is not a problem with you or your subdivision, but a problem between us and the health department," Topolovec told the developer.
After only slightly more discussion the planning commission gave final approval for the development.
The planning and zoning staff also presented a master transportation plan that they have been working on to the planning commission.
"This does not make a claim on any roads, but it does recognize them," Levanger told the commission. "That includes roads on private land."
He displayed a large map on the wall that included the entire county which had roads outlined in different colors depending on their status and funding.
"We want to be sure these roads are noted," he said. "The day could come when access over federal or other public lands could be discontinued and we want to preserve access to these places."
Commission member Earl Gunderson asked if any of the staff thought the plan would be controversial.
"That's hard to know," said Levanger in reply. "We will be having a public hearing on this plan at the county commission meeting on Sept. 15 so comments can be made then. When Emery County did this they went through some trouble over it."
Road issues have been a hot button for many people and organizations over the past few years. Probably the best known dispute over roads lies in the RS2477. According to the Heritage Research Center, in 1866, when the Lode Mining Act with its public roads statute was passed, the General Land Office (GLO), a U. S. Department of the Interior agency, administered the country's vast stretches of unreserved public lands. A departmental reorganization combined the General Land Office and the Grazing Service in 1946 to create the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which continued the GLO's duties. Roads or trails created during GLO / BLM land management are the focus of the Revised Statute 2477 and, hence, the Bureau's policy for dealing with back country and little-used roads offers an important administrative commentary on statute interpretation. Passage of FLPMA (Federal Land Policy and Management Act) in 1976, with its provision for superseding RS2477, altered the legal landscape in which RS2477 rights-of-way controversies are settled by providing an alternate vision for land and resource management. In the past 25 years, Congress and the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture have wrestled with issues of intent and authority for grandfathered RS2477 rights of way. The issue continues to create problematic situations for many local entities as well as the federal government.
The planning commission also approved a two lot subdivision without improvements near 1800 West and 4000 North in Spring Glen, contingent on Spring Glen Water Company approval.

CrockPot "Peking Duck" Recipe
Day 351.
I have cracked the duck-in-the-crockpot code. You need to use a rack. Too much liquid forms in the pot, and the meat needs to be up above it. I used a little round rack that came with my rice cooker, but you could use anything---an inverted ramekin to lift the bird up out of the collected juice, a collapsible steamer basket (great idea, KW!), foil balls, etc.
This duck tastes great, is seasoned nicely, and held up in the crockpot. Here's how to make traditional Peking Duck, and here's how I made it crockpot-friendly:
The Ingredients.
--4 to 5 pound duck
--5 whole green onions
--4 star anise
--1 inch ginger, peeled
--2 teaspoon Chinese 5 Spice (or you can make your own.)
--1 tsp cinnamon
--1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
--1 tablespoon honey
--2 tablespoons soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat-free are gluten free)
The Directions.
Use a 6 quart crockpot, and insert a cooking rack of somesort in the bottom of your pot. Wash the green onions and lay on top of the rack.
Skin the duck the best you can. Peel ginger and stuff inside cavity, with the star anise. In a small bowl, combine dry spices. Rub all over the bird, inside and out. Place the duck inside your crockpot, breast up. (I did breast down yesterday, and that was a mistake. It got too soggy.) Drizzle on soy sauce and honey.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Serve with plum sauce.
I made a down-and-dirty plum sauce:
--1/3 cup plum jam
--1 tablespoon soy sauce (La Choy is GF)
--1 tablespoon white sugar
--1 teaspoon garlic powder
The Verdict.
I was much happier at how this duck held up in the crockpot, and how most of the grease dripped away. The meat was nicely seasoned, and tasted great. We really liked the plum sauce. The kids ended up eating little smokies in bbq sauce because it was the Girl Scouts Holiday Party and that was our offering (done in a crockpot, of course).
30 comments:
I'm sure the meat tasted better when not setting in the juices, but the yesterday's picture looks a little more appetizing! Today's looks like...the carcass of a dead bird. But I'll probably try it anyway. Duck has always looked so complicated and scary to cook. Not anymore. Thanks again Steph!

Is that picture at the top of the post your picture, or is it just some generic one. The one at the bottom of the post, when it is finished looks really nice. The one at the top isn't how it comes out looking, is it? :-)

OMG!! Sure, I've liked some of your other recipes, but this is the one that has me falling head-over-heels in love with your blog. I love duck, cooked pretty much any way, but Peking Duck has to be one of my favorites. (now I need to find the recipe to make those flat little pancakes to roll the meat in) Thank you!!!

- Crockpot Lady said...
hahahaha Jodi and the7gerbers,
I liked that picture, but you're right---it does look a little petrified. I think Peking Duck is traditionally a bit dry looking because it is hung to dry and smoked, etc. The photo at the bottom was when it was still raw. I totally see your point, though.
- December 16, 2008 at 8:05 AM
- Danielsen5 said...
I just wanted to add that this is similar to how I make my "rotisserie" chicken in my crock pot. I use balled up foil to keep my chicken off the bottom of the pot, and clean up is a breaze! Usually 6 foil balls for my 6qt. works well.
Blessings, Beth Ann
P.S. I am the one who had the twins who broke my lid and asked about foil, it works! I have made a foil "lid" twice now with great results. Hoping to get a new crock at the top of the year if not for Christmas! Beth

Oh, I apologize. Duh. Showing my ignorance that I thought the one at the bottom (raw) looked better.

Dear Crockpot Lady,
I have a recipe for Cinnamon Pecan Pull-Aparts that uses Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Have you ever made something like this in your crockpot. Do you think it would work? Any tips or tricks would be awesome
Also, recently I saw someone put a piece of aluminum foil across the top of the crockpot and then set their lid on top of the foil. What does this accomplish?
Thanks for all your help and food inspiration!
P.S. There are 4 of us who check your website almost daily and will be super sad when 2008 is over. What are your plans for the new year blogging-wise?
- December 16, 2008 at 9:19 AM
oh, crockpot lady....your Peking Duck brings back such lovely memories of munching in Beijing a few years back. never thought the treat could be enjoyed at home. Mustave smelled gorgeous. Thank you for another vicarious treat.
- December 16, 2008 at 9:33 AM

hahahahaa, Andrea, I think you're right! It reminds me of the homeschooling project of mummifying a chicken. :-)

These two post are perfect timing...my husband is off tommorow to go duck hunting for the weekend.
Thanks for the recipes, keep the duck post coming.

Does the duck *need* to be skinned? We love the duck skin!
- December 16, 2008 at 11:53 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi anon,
lol, it needs to be skinned *for me*---I have weird skin issues.
I think the skin on top will brown, but the skin on the sides and bottom will be pretty soggy. If you're up for it, you can remove the bird and broil it for a bit to brown and crispify the skin.

I have a divided crock pot. It's Rival brand, and I got it a few years ago at Sams. It lets me cook two things at once. I also have the undivided insert (both came with the original crock as a special). Any idea where to get another one of these? My brother has crock pot envy, or something like that.

How fun that you made Peking duck with the crockpot! I am such an avid reader of your blog.
Traditionally, Peking duck is served with plum sauce and green onions, sandwiched between sweet, steamed bread called "mantou." If you find that in a specialty/Asian supermarket, I highly recommend it.
How are you feeling, knowing that your year of experimentation is almost over?
- December 16, 2008 at 4:28 PM
Sometimes when I have finished scraping the remains of a "yuck! I wanted a pbj" dinner into the compost & garbage pails, I reread your miniscule flop list to cheer myself up. Because I'm not really Betty Crocker (not even close, my kids would tell you, once they had a sense of who Betty was/is), and it's just so darned frustrating, some days, to work on making something good/nutritious/ etc., and get honest/brutal kid feedback...... particularly after teaching teenagers all day, since they're pretty darned brutal, too.
Anyway, I've loved your blog this year, and hope it's not disappearing (though I would totally understand you not posting DAILY....) Thank you for your humor, and inspiration!

I just found your site tonight and it's amazing. Reading back through the recipes, it has made me now add crockpot to my list of things I want.
I'm going to try making the plum sauce to use a dipping sauce for tofu tonight.

All I can think of when I read about this duck is the "chopping off of the head" on A Christmas Story - after the Bumpus's dogs ate the turkey. Perhaps you should make this for Christmas :)
- December 16, 2008 at 9:08 PM
- ardnas said...
I don't know if you've ever posted this idea, but I thought I'd share anyway :-)
You can make "handles" to remove your bird (or meatloaf...) from the crockpot by folding two fairly long strips of foil. Place the strips in the bottom of the crock cross-wise, then set the meat on top. The edges of foil should drape over the top edge of the crock. This makes it much easier to remove a super tender bird, so it doesn't fall apart.
Thanks for your blog!!!
- December 17, 2008 at 5:56 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
ardnas, that's a great suggestion!
thank you!
lol, Anne, I love the Christmas Story!

- Kiy said...
Now this recipe may be the winning one for me. Especially as you say here in the comments that it doesn't have to be skinned! Yeah! That was the part that I kept coming back to. No way was I touching the duck *that* much. I like the idea of popping it under the broiler for a few minutes to brown/crisp it up, hubby will like that. He loves skin on every thing (where as I also have skin issues, lol). Since this is for him, he gets the skin.
Thanks again, as always you have come through. I am impressed that you pulled this off so quickly and TWICE! Yeah Steph!
Cheers, and my thanks again,

Hi- I am new to your site, and I am wondering about water. The ingredients don't say anything about adding water. This may sound like a stupid question, but won't it burn w/o some type of liquid? If you do use water, how much? Thank you so much for your great blog! - 29ersclub
- December 19, 2008 at 7:29 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
hi 29ers Club! It's not a stupid question at all. Duck (and a whole chicken) creates it's own liquid when it's cooking and doesn't need you to add any. I've found that a lot of traditional crockpot recipes go overboard with the liquid and the meat falls apart, or begins to all taste alike (like the broth, wine, etc). In this case, I wanted the duck to kind of dry out, which is why I elevated it out of the cooking liquid. And why it looks so weird... ;-)
- December 19, 2008 at 7:34 AM
Peking duck is all about the skin. Your roast duck sounds and looks delicious but it's not Peking duck if you skin it. It is meant to be dried before cooking (that's why you see the ducks hanging in the windows all over Chinatown). Also, the accompaniment is not plum sauce, it is hoisin sauce. Plum sauce is too sweet and tangy for this dish. Plum sauce is for spring rolls.

I made your recipe last night, except I put it in the oven instead of the crockpot so I could shave an hour off the cooking time. It was good.

Hi, I'm new to your site. I just read a post from "baking scientist" dated Dec. 16, 2008, looking for a divided crockpot. In Ontario they sell them at Giant Tiger, I think under $20, and always seem to have them. Hope he finds this helpful.

Liberal audacity and hypocrisy was on display in the Vatican March 20 as both Vice President Joe Biden and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) partook of Communion during Pope Francis I's installation — in spite of their aggressive efforts over the years to keep abortion legal and profitable in the United States. The vice president's office confirmed that he and Pelosi, who are both confirmed Catholics, took Communion during the Mass at St. Peter's Square.
As Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Pope Francis expressed his opposition to offering communion to politicians who support legalized abortion. "We must adhere to 'eucharistic coherence,'" he wrote in 2007, "that is, be conscious that [politicians] cannot receive holy communion and at the same time act with deeds or words against the commandments, particularly when abortion, euthanasia, and other grave crimes against life and family are encouraged. This responsibility applies particularly to legislators, governors, and health professionals."
In a vice presidential debate during last year's presidential campaign, Biden claimed that he is personally opposed to abortion and that he embraces the Church's teaching that life begins at conception. But he insisted that he did not have the right to impose his beliefs on others and supported a woman's right to choose to kill her pre-born baby.
LifeNews.com noted that Biden's own bishop has chastised the vice president for his unbiblical stance on protecting life. In an interview with the Delaware News Journal, Biden claimed that "throughout the Church's history, we've argued between whether or not [abortion] is wrong in every circumstance and the degree of wrong. Catholics have this notion, it's almost a gradation."
In a letter to the editor, Bishop W. Francis Malooly of the Diocese of Wilmington called Biden's absurd explanation "a seriously erroneous picture of Catholic teaching on abortion." Malooly confirmed that Catholic teaching "is clear and not open to debate. Abortion is a grave sin because it is the wrongful taking of an innocent human life."

Florida Atlantic University has apologized for the actions of one of its instructors after he allegedly forced students in a class to denigrate the name of Jesus. According to the Miami Herald, in early March Dr. Deandre Poole, who teaches Intercultural Communications at the university, directed students in the class to take out a sheet of paper and write "Jesus" in bold letters and place the paper on the floor. He then ordered the the class to stomp on the paper — and Jesus' name.
One of the students, junior Ryan Rotela, said that when he refused to comply he was kicked out of the class. Rotela, who is a devout Mormon, explained his refusal to obey Poole, saying that "anytime you stomp on something it shows that you believe that something has no value. So if you were to stomp on the word Jesus, it says that the word has no value." Rotela said that when he went to university officials to complain, he was summarily suspended from the class and told to have no contact with other students in the class until the situation was resolved.
Noemi Marin, director of the university's school of communication and multimedia studies, defended Poole's actions, telling Fox News that "as with any academic lesson, the exercise was meant to encourage students to view issues from many perspectives, in direct relation with the course objectives." Marin added that "while at times the topics discussed may be sensitive, a university environment is a venue for such dialogue and debate."
The university noted that the stomping activity comes straight out the of the book used in Poole's course. In fact, the teacher's manual for that textbook, entitled Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach, includes the following lesson plan, apparently designed to spark students to consider the power of symbols in culture:

Editor's Note: This post was originally published in January 2011 and has been updated for accuracy.
Did you ever hear about Seasonal Color Analysis theory? Well, if not, I will try to explain what it is and why is it very important for every women.
I took an Image Consulting Course for almost one year and the most exciting subject I found to be : color analysis. In my opinion, it is almost like magic how certain colors(the right colors for the right season) can change somepone's appearance dramatically.
What could happen if someone wears the right colors?
- younger looking skin
- freshness
- some colors can slim you down visually
- glowing skin
- naturally beautiful skin
What the wrong colors can do to your appearance?
- you might appear to look older
- tired look
- add extra pounds to the frame
I studied few color analysis theories, but the fullest and the most defined one I found to be: 12 Season Color Theory.
Color Analysis history
Its all started with German philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, when he first published Theory of Color Workbook. He deeply analyzed colors and connection between each other for the first time ever. But it was just a beginning, there were no mentioning of connection and reaction between cloth colors and skin tone. Swiss Painter and Teacher at Bauhaus University, Johannes Itten ,was a big influence for development of color analysis science. He divided colors by 4 groups so it would be easier for his students to paint Landscape portraits.Itten had been the first to associate color pallet's with four types of people, and had designated those types with the names of Seasons.
Color Analysis facts:
- Itten observed that only certain colors would look good with certain skin or hair color on the portraits. He also saw that the best works of his students were made by colors that students picked themselves. They preferred colors that would fit their natural coloring and skin complexion, inner sense of intuition were working for them.
- Based on Itten research, Psychologist Carole Jackson formed Color theory in her famous "Color Me Beautiful" book. In this System, colors are divided into four groups of harmonious colors which are said to match with the four seasons of the year.
- After studying professor Albert Munsell Theory, Doris Pooser in her book "Always in Style" ,developed more defined and refined 12 Seasons System. She was one of the first people to notice that some of her clients were able to use some colors from another season with success. That's how 12 Season Color Analysis System was born and I am a huge fan of this theory!
Here are some inspirational pictures with gorgeous celebrities that wear right colors for their skin tone.
I offer Individual color analysis. If you are not sure what colors suit you best? Don't worry, I am here to help! Simply contact me for more information or read about my services.

5 Comments on Seasonal Color Analysis. Part 1
This is a great post! You're so creative:) And you're absolutely right, you look so much better when wearing the right colors for your skin. I love Demi en Scarletts color + skintones in these images. Blake Lively seems to look good in EVERY color;) But I wonder who else could pull a green like that off…
The Color that Blake has it has cold undertone so it would be great on most Summers and Winters, specially if you are Soft Summer like me or have soft olive skin….It Would Be Stunning!
Captivated my Image, I posted a Picture for you on my Fan page, with the same color just different skin tone. Take a look!)
I loooove Demi, she is so pretty with that color. Thanks for sharing x
Fanny, I really like that color as well! Very settle and Sophisticated!
I had my colors done using this system about 15 years ago, and it never fails. When I don't follow my colors (I am a Winter) someone always comments on me looking tired or having lost "some sparkle". It makes shopping easier also 😉

Meet Your Hosts
"You'll find plenty of grass and mature shade trees - sometimes hard to find in Wyoming."
When Mary and S. Clark Anderson purchased a hay meadow near Lyman in the 1960s, they thought the land would be better for growing kids than hay. The former teacher and drive-in operator were right.
All 11 of their children have worked at the campground that they opened in the former hay field in 1968. In fact, all 11 are college graduates and son Clint still comes home in the summers from his teaching job in Nephi, Utah, to help manage the campground.
"I liked the concept of owning a KOA campground, and I wanted something where I could have my family involved," said Mary.
The campground has grown along with the Anderson family, You'll find plenty of grass and mature shade trees - sometimes hard to find in Wyoming. And be sure to take advantage of the clean, warm swimming pool, too.

Kappa Alpha Theta joins SLU Greek community
This fall Kappa Alpha Theta has joined the SLU Greek community, adding another option to choose from for women who want to go through recruitment. Many sorority women say that they couldn't be happier to have Theta on campus: they are another chapter to help balance out the large chapter sizes, and they are here to help strengthen the entire Greek community.
Theta's recruitment process was different from Formal Recruitment this year, but they will be joining the rest of the Panhellenic community for Formal Recruitment next year. During Formal Recruitment, Theta had an informational session during Rotationals round. After that, they were no longer a part of the Formal process. They dropped out, and waited until the rest of Panhellenic finished recruitment. As soon as Bid Day was over for the rest of SLU's Greek women, the representatives from Kappa Alpha Theta's national headquarters started a two week PR blast that included social media campaigns, tabling on the quad and in the BSC, posters, etc. Ashley Freeman and Margaret Burke, the Theta representatives, signed women up for interviews, and took suggestions from other members of the Greek community on who to contact about potentially setting up interviews.
On September 22, Theta held their Bid Day in DuBourg. There were 132 women that walked through the doors to start this new chapter at SLU. Since then, Ashley and Margaret have added approximately 50 more women to their list, putting their chapter close in size to the other chapters. Currently, Ashley and Margaret are serving as every officer member of the chapter, but they will hold elections in November that coincide with the rest of SLU's Greek life. Until that happens, Ashley and Margaret will continue to chair all committees, but allow the women of the chapter to form committees and oversee the events being planned. They say that they want the women to be able to be self sufficient and able to function as a chapter without them as consultants here.
Theta's goal is to be running just as well as all other chapters on campus as soon as possible. They have already had their first social event, a "Black and Gold" themed semi-formal date party, had Ritual ceremonies, and planned sisterhoods with their own chapter and other chapters on campus. One of the Theta representatives said that she is so excited to be on SLU's campus for many reasons, one of the main ones being how well the values of Theta line up with that of the University. Ashley said, "At SLU it is different because the girls are just so aligned with our values, which makes the chapter even better."

Lipscomb (2-1)
Gardner-Webb (1-2)
11/14/2012 | Boiling Springs, NC / Paul Porter Arena | Attendance: 1450
Wednesday, November 14, 2012
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – In a rollercoaster of a basketball game, the Lipscomb men's basketball team rode the Malcolm Smith express to a 66-62 win over Gardner Webb on Wednesday night at the Paul Porter Arena in Boiling Springs, N.C.
Behind a 7-for-11 night from the field and an 8-for-14 game at the charity stripe, Smith matched his career high with 22 points and added a game-high 13 rebounds in the first road game of 2012-13 for the Bisons.
"Malcolm was huge," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "He stepped up big tonight and played a whale of a game for us."
Lipscomb (2-1) jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the contest but the Runnin' Bulldogs (1-2) battled back in the opening half fueled by 14 Bison turnovers and making 12-of-13 from the free-throw line to take a 36-29 lead at the half.
"You can't play much worse than we did the first four minutes of the second half but I've got to give our young group a lot of credit to battle back and compete at a high level," said Sanderson. "To get a 20-0 run on the road is big for our team."
After letting GWU stretch the lead to 16, the Bisons used the 20-0 run over a six-minute period in the second half to turn a 46-30 deficit into a 50-46 lead for the Purple and Gold capped off by a pair of Malcolm Smith free throws at 11:05.
The huge comeback was fueled by eight points from freshman big man Stephen Hurt, who finished the night with a dozen, and two big treys by sophomore guard Carter Sanderson.
"We're a young team but we just kept battling back and kept getting stops," said Malcolm Smith. "This is a big-time win for us that should give us a lot of confidence beating a good Gardner-Webb team on their home floor."
Junior guard Khion Sankey hauled in double digits rebounds for the second-straight game and added seven points before fouling out of the game.
"I'm proud of our guys that could have easily tucked their heads but they battled back," said coach Sanderson. "This is a very good win for our young team. "
The Bisons get a bit of a break for the Thanksgiving holiday before returning to action on Nov. 23 at Southeastern Conference foe Ole Miss at 4 p.m. in Oxford, Miss.

Nice Cover

I like this cover. It is soft, lightweight and easy to use. It keeps the sun, leaves and other debris off my car. Folding it up takes a few minutes. I hope the neighborhood cats keep off it too. It's much nicer to have my car covered in the Florida sun.

Selling an inherited house isn't easy.
There's the emotional aspect of getting a loved one's home ready for sale — which likely includes clearing out his or her belongings and depersonalizing the rooms. There's the financial cost of making necessary updates to attract buyers. Sometimes heirs have to deal with costly liens or other hidden problems, and there may be disagreements among siblings about the sale price.
And understandably, sometimes family members drag their feet. Images of growing up in the home with Mom and Dad prevent them from springing into action. They can't let go.
"Everyone takes their time to deal with the passing of a loved one. And you need to take the appropriate steps to learn the market, educate yourself and have a Realtor and tax attorney who are reliable — you need someone who is going to be empathic and is there to help," said Leslie Piper, consumer housing specialist for Realtor.com and a San Francisco real-estate agent.
Get some advice
CES 2014: What makes a smart home smart
It's not quite flying cars but SmartThings aims to make your home more Jetsons-like. At CES 2014, SmartThings CEO Alex Hawkinson spoke with WSJ's Joanna Stern about the connected home of today.
First, learn about the house's status and verify your ownership, getting the advice of an estate attorney, said David Fairman, a real-estate agent with ERA Solutions Realty in Central Ohio.
"Depending on state law, and other factors, a License To Sell Real Estate may be required from the Probate Court," said Sally H. Mulhern, an attorney and founder of the law firm of Mulhern & Scott, PLLC, in Portsmouth, N.H., in an email interview. "In addition, there will most likely be a 'creditor claims' period, which must pass before assets, including real estate, can be distributed to the heirs."
Connect with a tax adviser to understand any tax implications of selling the home, Fairman added. Heirs should also check and see if there are any liens on the property.
In fact, in certain situations — including when there are environmental concerns or the mortgage is underwater (meaning the home is worth less than what is still owed by the borrower) — heirs may even choose not to accept the home at all, allowing it to go into foreclosure, said Kelly Zinser, a bankruptcy attorney in California and legal analyst for Avvo.com, a site that rates lawyers and connects them with consumers.
Those who don't want the property should speak with an attorney about disclaiming it — and promptly, Mulhern said. The process will likely involve filing disclaimer paperwork, she said.
Assess the market
It might be clear that Grandma's kitchen needs some major upgrading. But before doing any work, contact a real-estate agent to help you understand the local housing market.
"You have to figure out what the other houses on the street are selling for, and get an idea of what the house is worth before improvements are made," Fairman said.
A real-estate agent can also provide some advice on what changes would be worthwhile to make. From a financial perspective, it's often best to do the minimum amount of repairs required to secure a buyer — and allow them to get financing. (Federal Housing Administration-backed mortgages, for example, require certain safety, soundness and security requirements for homes.) See Home woes may scuttle your FHA mortgage.
If the home is in very poor shape, it's sometimes best to market it to an investor, Fairman added. Cash buyers looking for bargains are more likely to purchase a home "as is."

As expected both teams struggled early as Creighton held a 3-2 edge at the first media timeout (15:25).

Senior Sarah Nelson extended the lead to double-digits with a three-ball from the corner (14-4) with 9:42 remaining.
The Bluejays pushed their lead to as much as 14 points (22-8) in the opening half, but Fort Hays State scored the final six points to make it 26-19 at the break.
The second half belonged to sophomore Marissa Janning as she scored 19 of her game-high 21 in the final 20 minutes. Janning was 3-for-4 from behind the arc in the second half and also picked up three assists.
Up 42-30 with 13:23 showing on the clock, Creighton used a 7-0 spurt to seperate themselves from the Tigers. Rollerson started the run with in short jumper from the wing, then junior Sammy Jensen chipped in a three-pointer from the corner, finally Nelson knocked down two free throws to make it 49-30.
Janning's 21 points led all scorers, while Rollerson finished with 16 points. Fort Hays State got 12 points from Katelyn Edwards and 11 from both Kath Lehman as well as Chelsea Mann.

POTSDAM Clarkson students blew off steam all throughout last week with free events, culminating in concerts and comedy routines Saturday.
Weve done a whole week of stuff; obviously today is the big one, R. Ryan Swartz, the senior who coordinated the events, said Saturday.
Springfest is completely organized by students. The board responsible for putting together the event started running into problems when it was looking for musicians earlier this year.
Clarkson has been able to attract large national acts in the past, such as last years show by the All-American Rejects, but this year things were tougher.
The group partnered with students at SUNY Potsdam, trying to combine their efforts to attract big-name bands such as fun., Imagine Dragons or Mumford & Sons, but to no avail.
We spent months trying to get a bunch of bands, Mr. Swartz said.
When the organizers realized that they were unable to bring in the big names this year, they decided to change their tactics.
Springfest became Knights after Dark a weeklong slate of smaller events instead of a single big bash.
Its a bigger focus on what we could do with students, Mr. Swartz said.
Even the smaller focus ran into some obstacles. Bad weather kept a comedy troupe and a hypnotist from traveling to Potsdam to perform their scheduled shows. It also was a heavy study week for many students, as paper and project deadlines loom.
Its a very busy week of school, said Adam G. Merkwan, a sophomore from New Hampshire who said he could not attend any of the events before Saturday because of his studies.
Saturday marked the weeks finale, starting with a performance by Von Shakes, an indie rock band from Dublin, Ireland.
Ryan M. Kopera, a sophomore from Buffalo, said he had not heard of Von Shakes before Saturday, but he was glad he came.
We found out they were coming today and looked them up, and theyre pretty awesome, Mr. Kopera said.
He said the weeklong approach to Springfest was a good idea.
Its pretty cool how they spread this over a whole week, he said.
Later, stand-up comedian Louis Katz took the stage, followed by the Los Angeles musical comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates.
Between the onstage acts, students stood in line for giveaways such as custom-printed mouse pads.
They also sampled the best chicken wings Potsdam has to offer at Wingfest, where students could vote for which area restaurant serves up superior wings.
All of the weeks activities were free for students.
Everyone likes free stuff, but a lot of people were disappointed that we didnt get a huge name again, said Sarah W. Pisaniello, a freshman from Lowville.
Springfest is the semesters last big event. Students soon will be back to their studies, looking forward to summer as finals approach.

ATTICA, NY - Each year students at Prospect Elementary learn an important lesson about helping others during their "care fair."
"I want them to learn that without a doubt their acts of caring and compassion can make a difference. It can have such a positive impact," said school counselor Cindy Griffing.
This year's "care fair" went to the dogs, literally.
When students heard about dozens of dogs seized from a Wyoming County home back in April, they decided they would collect food and supplies for the county animal shelter.
"Their world becomes much bigger when they start thinking about the needs of organizations. It's good for them," said animal control officer Justa Goodell.
The project started with first graders, but soon the entire school was on board.
A table in the front hall was overloaded with foods, toys, cleaning supplies, and other necessities for the animals at the shelter.
"We are sharing stuff with them, and we are caring about them," said first grader Kaidan Hofheins.
Shelter volunteers stopped by Prospect Elementary with one of the rescued dogs to personally thank the students for their hard work and donations.

The Parks and Recreation Department employee at the center of its financial troubles two years ago has been fired.
Brenda M. Harwood was let go from her job as a senior account clerk/typist a couple of weeks ago, said a source familiar with the situation.
City Manager Sharon A. Addison, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham and City Council members Roxanne M. Burns, Jeffrey M. Smith and Teresa R. Macaluso declined to comment because it is a personnel matter. Ms. Harwoods former supervisor, Parks and Recreation Superintendent Erin E. Gardner, could not be reached for comment.
Sources said Ms. Harwoods departure was a result of the messy bookkeeping and accounting problems that plagued the Parks and Recreation Department for years. As the account clerk/typist, she was responsible for collecting money from Recreation Department users and scheduling activities.
In April 2011, the Watertown City Council learned tens of thousands of dollars went uncollected for years.
A 2011 outside audit determined Ms. Harwood didnt use generally accepted bookkeeping and accounting procedures. The audit found she often jotted notes on calendars about which groups used the fields and failed to keep track of bills. Uncashed checks were left in drawers for more than a year, it concluded.
It goes back to those days, overall, a source said.
Another source confirmed that Ms. Harwood met with Ms. Addison a couple of weeks ago and that she returned to the Parks and Recreation office in the Watertown Municipal Arena at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds before turning in her key and leaving for good.
A source said that since Ms. Harwoods departure, unrecorded old revenue was found in a desk drawer and that there were some other difficulties since a new Parks and Recreation management team was hired last year.
Ms. Harwood has started a new job at the reception desk at H&R Block on State Street. She declined to comment.
Ms. Addison said the city has started looking at the Civil Service list for a possible replacement for Ms. Harwood, who earned $38,477 in the past year and had worked for the city for 28 years.
Ms. Harwood also was president of Civil Service Employees Association Local 823. Public Works Department employee Jason Dugan replaced Ms. Harwood as union president, Ms. Addison said.
Since the departments financial difficulties came to light, the city restructured Parks and Recreation and implemented new policies.

Plug-In Wall Lights
With plug-in wall sconces, you don't have to be (or hire) a master electrician in order to have bright, functional wall lamp. Anywhere there's a nearby electrical outlet, even a layperson can easily install a plug-in light. Hang it on the wall, plug it in and you're good to go. Pin-up kits are usually offered as an option to direct wire installations but, with rigid cord covers matching the wall plate, still present a finished, permanent look. As such, the convenience of pin-up wall lights is well-matched by their sophisticated style.

I love this collage of one of Cj's first MLB games to see the Mets. This marked a special day for Dad and his son. Cj loves David Wright, #5 and even sings along with the stadium crowd. This collage shows how silly he can get and how he is truly a New York Mets fan. Go Mets!!
Sara F. of NH
Avery was so photogenic for her newborn photo session that we had too many to choose from. She stayed awake for a good portion of it, but was still so photogenic in her sleep! Luckily, my sister was the photographer, so we will have many other photo sessions in the future.
Denise S. of IL
This is a collage of my new grandson throughout the first month of his sleepy little life. Every chance I got, I snapped a picture of him, so we could see the changes month by month, even in his toes.
Sharon D. of MD
My daughter got her first tooth VERY late! It didn't come out until she was 16 months old. This collage poster commemorates the event.
Becky H. of FL
I created this collage to put in my office at work. It turned out so well that I also purchased one to hang in my home. Now, my mom and my sister would like one too. As the caption, I put, "Who knew being a mom could be so great?" It may sound weird to someone else, but I didn't think that I wanted to be a parent, and now that I am one, I know a love like no other. So that statement sums it up for me. I had so much fun making this collage!
Kristi C. of MD
I made this collage as the birth announcement for my son. I love the way it turned out. These photos are from the day he was born in the hospital.
Laury S. of PA
This is a collage I made for my sister (my daughter's Godmother). My sister and I are 10 1/2 years apart and like night and day, but still best friends. I am conservative and dress my 10-month-old daughter girly and like a princess. My sister is more into the Goth things and way more wild with her style. She always joked that she would buy Layla Goth things to wear, and I always joked back that I would never put them on her. One day, my sister was out shopping and found this princess gothic dress. It was a perfect combo of Goth and girlie. She gave it to Layla as a gift. She was so proud of it, so I took a little photo shoot of Layla and made a collage. I got a 16x20 print framed for my sister, and she absolutely LOVED it! It is on her wall and something she really cherishes.
Amy G. of TX
I like to take pictures of kids being KIDS! This is my little girl enjoying a nice, juicy watermelon in hot August!
Connie S. of Toronto
Our daughter Ellie loves hamming it up for pictures. She has so many expressions that a collage was the perfect way to pull together some of our favorite shots!
Misty M. of IN
We adopted a baby girl from Guatemala last year, and Princess Lyza will turn two in November! We went all out this year on everything you can imagine for a princess party - including this collage, which went with the invitation. I was the photographer. I finished photography school this past summer, and this was one of my first "real" photo sessions with my new camera and equipment!
Brandi S. of TN
It hadn't rained in months, and all Cydney wanted to do was play in the rain. So I put a swimsuit on her and sent her out. She was having such a good time and giggling so much, I had to take the opportunity to get some great photos! Then I decided it was so cute, I would make a collage for her grandparents.
Colleen R. of IA
Alexander was 6 months old, and we dressed him up as a monkey for his first Halloween. Then we took him to the garden center just down the street from our house. As you can see he was incredibly helpful, but he was also teething and kept trying to bite the stems! We sent copies of the collage to family all over the country.
Libby B. of MD
This is my youngest grandson, Seth. Our whole family goes on vacation together, and I have so many great photos of all my grandchildren that I made a 4x6 collage card of each child. That way I could take 4 cards to work to hang on my bulletin board without having to handle a multitude of photos. I also made an 8x10 collage of the whole gang.
Annette V. of SD
I created this collage for my husband and my step-daughter with the birth of grandson Corbin in August. The baby is just so adorable! We went to Oregon for a week to visit with the new parents, and it was so heartwarming to see all the love pouring into this baby boy. My husband's daughter is so beautiful and has always welcomed me into her home and heart. I took these photos and created this mostly as a surprise for her.
Sandra Z. from MA
Every year I take photos of my children on the beach near our home. This year my 6 year old wanted to dress up in an old fairy dress up costume she had. I had resisted at first, but you can see the pictures taken at sunset ended up looking magical.
Caroline M. of OH
My husband was out of town on business, and I still had lots of household chores to get done with no one to keep an extra eye on our daughter. My 7-month-old Mya is not mobile yet, so she was quite happy sitting in the laundry basket with blankets watching me fold the laundry. She is such a ham and thought it was very funny playing peek-a-boo between the slats.
Kristin D. of AZ
Here is a collage we created for our youngest son's 3rd Birthday.
Kim D. of TX
I created this collage of my son with some pictures I took at the Pumpkin Patch.
Lynette M. of KY
These half-sisters don't get to see each other very often. So when they do come together, it's always a special time. I wanted to capture their unique bond with a few pictures in our back yard to make the most of this crisp fall day. We enjoyed the last of the autumn leaves before winter stripped them away. The natural light captured the bright colors and loving affection between them. This collage is a great memento for both of them to enjoy until their next visit together.
Erin W. of OR
We found out we were pregnant for the second time two weeks before Christmas. We were so excited to be having another baby, and when we found out it was another boy, we could not have been happier! We knew the joy that little boys bring (and it didn't hurt that we had an entire houseful of hand-me-down clothes and toys from our first). It was the best gift we received that year.
Carrie M. of NC
Fall leaves...a beautiful scene that makes a fun day. My boys had so much fun jumping in the leaves and throwing them on each other. The pictures made me smile so much, I thought, Why not make a Christmas card? So I'm excited to get these in the mail to family and friends.
Anne T. of CA
My sister and I wanted to take some photos of our kids together. They live 1000 miles apart and have no desire to stand around posing in a studio when they finally get to be together. We went to a thrift shop and bought a bunch of silly dresses, hats, and accessories and let them play dress-up. Then all we had to do was stand back and take the pictures. The result was some of the most natural smiles we've ever seen our children produce in pictures.
Shannon H. of MO
In these photos are two of my children and our dog, Babe. My kids love their dog and always follow her around. They seem to go wherever she goes! I love taking pictures of my kids. You never know what they are going to do, so I always have my camera ready when we are outside. The photos in this collage were taken while my kids were playing and, most of the time, didn't even realize I was there.

Like the majority of the Orioles' 2009 draft picks, Ashur Tolliver's season was hampered by injuries. A sore shoulder kept him in extended spring training and as a result wasn't able to open 2010 with the Shorebirds, as most expected. Instead, Tolliver spent all of 2010 pitching out of the Aberdeen bullpen where he produced mixed results. His FIP (4.31) was more than a run below his ERA (5.77), which is always a good sign, though his strikeout rate was not where it should be.

|'A Symbol of Friendship' : Turkish PM Lays Stone for $100M Masjid Complex In Maryland
|Community News - Community News
|Written by Muslim Link Staff
|Friday, 17 May 2013 14:31
On Wednesday, May 15, 2013, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan placed a ceremonial stone on a 15-acre construction site in Lanham, Maryland that will likely become the largest and most striking examples of Islamic architecture in the western hemisphere.
Prime Minister Erdogan talks about what the TACC center means to Turkish Americans as well as to American society at large. He criticized groups promoting Islamophobia and urged the many Turkish graduate students to get involved with the project. He also delighted the crowd of several hundred guests by saying he will come back for the October 2014 opening ceremony "if he is still around". Photo by Muslim Link.
An April 2013 photo of the 15-acre construction site. TACC says about 30% of the construction is completed. Photo courtesy of TACC.
The TACC Center will consist of five main buildings: a masjid constructed using 16th century classical Ottoman architecture that can hold 760 worshipers; a two-story, 19,990 SF Cultural Center Building including a 220-seating performance hall; a 9,850 SF recreational building with a 180-seat restaurant and traditional coffee shop; a 43,450 SF traditional Turkish bath for up to 22 people at a time and indoor pool and sports center; and 18,500 SF of guest housing including 16 one-bedroom apartment units. The complex will have very limited above ground parking and most cars will park in the 150,700 SF underground parking garage which gives direct access to all the main buildings. A few traditionally designed residential buildings, Turkish gardens and fountains, and outdoor recreational areas will also be a part of the complex. Images courtesy of TACC.
The American and Turkish flags fly high above invited guests like Jameel Alim-Johnson from the Prince George's Muslim Association (foreground). Most of the invitees were Turkish diplomats, business leaders, and community members, but there were a few dozen non-Turkish representatives of area masajid and Islamic organizations from the DMV area present, including ISNA President Mohammad Magid and ICNA President Naeem Baig.
