Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 18, 2014.
The Ziggy hook is a strong, modular coat hook that lets you create functional patterns on your walls!
About this project
Ziggy is a project that is very close to my heart. For a few years now, I have been designing and producing products through my design consultancy Autumn and my brand UNDER.
All of these products have been made in small batches and sold at a price that reflected that. I wanted to create a new product for the home that was inexpensive and multi-functional.
Ziggy is that product.
The reason I am coming to you through Kickstarter is to be able to produce enough volume of the hook to make it cost effective for anyone to buy. I am a big believer in the idea that design should be democratic and accessible.
Design should be beautiful and affordable. What's the point of good design if only a few people get the chance to experience it?
Ziggy is made from folded steel, with a powder-coat finish. It's designed to be super strong by itself and to allow for multiples to be used together to create a short or long run coat rack. They can be arranged in straight lines or in crazy patterns. Ziggys can even be offset to get twice the hooks into tight spaces!
Ziggy lets you hook things through it, hang things on it and even rest small objects on top. Ziggy is great in any room of your house and lets you add a touch of design to the smallest of spaces.
Each Ziggy hook is mounted with 4 screws, so it can take almost anything you can hang on it!
Ziggy is powdercoated to soften the edges and provide a durable, hard wearing finish. This will help to protect knits and delicate fabrics.
Ziggy is very easy to install. Each one comes with a template that lets you accurately mark out the screw positions and line up multiple hooks for a perfect unique pattern!
Risks and challenges
The challenges involved in the project are fairly minimal, but as with any production there are other people involved at certain stages.
Stage 1: Production
There is only a single component so production should be straightforward. The only area where things can go wrong at this stage are related to the quality of the finished product.
To avoid these problems, the factory we are using for production has been vetted by an agent who I have worked with before and who I trust.
We will also be receiving samples before final production to assess and make changes if required.
Stage 2. Shipping from the factory to Australia
again, this is a fairly low risk area. To try and avoid anything going wrong here, we are using a shipping service that has come recommended by a trusted colleague and friend.
Stage 3. Packing and shipping to backers.
This is a very low risk part of the process. I will be supervising this stage personally!
I have built a little extra time into the process, just in case anything is delayed. So, if everything goes to plan, your Ziggy's will be swinging your way a little early!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Each Ziggy comes with 4 mounting screws, but you can get away with only 2.
Each Ziggy comes with a printed template that you can use to position holes and line up consecutive ziggys.
Once the project is successful, I will be in touch to get all of that information.
At this stage, the answer is a tentative YES! We are still doing a few tests...but it looks like that should be OK. Ziggys mounted in this way won't hold quite as much weight.

The Impact of Climatic Changes on the Development of the Australian Flora
University of Adelaide
Australia in the Tertiary provides an excellent opportunity to examine evolution in an isolated system because for almost 30 million years (m.y.) following the Eocene break with Antarctica, the Australian plate had no major contact with any other. On at least two occasions during that interval, global climatic events were reflected in the fossil plant record. The mid-Eocene cooling is demonstrated by two neighboring floras from either side of the event being dominated by totally different plants. The terminal Eocene cooling is clearly marked by both pollen and megafossil shifts. Thus, through the Tertiary we see a basically greenhouse Eocene Gondwanic flora respond to climatic deterioration and evolve into the sclerophyll and arid communities that dominate the continent today.
Although the geological and biological uniqueness of Australia is well known and documented, there are certain aspects of that uniqueness that are particularly relevant to the consideration of climate change and the effect on vegetation though the Tertiary Period. The first of these is related to Australia's geographical isolation during much of the Tertiary. It is generally agreed (e.g., Frakes et al., 1987) that from the Late Eocene (from roughly 38 m.y. ago (Ma) to 8 Ma—about 30 m.y.) the Australian Plate was isolated from all other continental plates. This has two important consequences. The first is that climatic changes, and their reflected vegetation patterns, are not significantly masked or diluted by events on other continents. Second, the consequences of change can be followed through time. As an example, a megafossil flora observed for the Early Miocene must have been based on a gene pool present in the Australian Oligocene since no credible external source is available. A corollary is that if a sudden floristic change is observed over a specific time period, the causal factors must be local (e.g., climatic change) because no outside influence can be seriously considered. Therefore, if one thinks of this time interval as an evolutionary experiment, the variables are far more limited than for any other such "experiments" on different continents.
A second important, unique feature of the Australian system is the nature of its plant fossil record. Australia has perhaps the only tropical to subtropical rain forest system in the world that has a well-documented macrofossil record; hence, its evolution can be traced through time. There are three factors contributing to this situation: first, a large number of Australia's macrofossil deposits are preserved as mummified leaves, allowing maximum taxonomic and physiognomic information to be gleaned from them (Christophel, 1981). Second, the isolation of the continent alluded to earlier means that there is a far better chance of actually identifying taxa and communities, and tracing them through time, without having to search for floras of other continents for matches. A consequence is that far greater confidence can be placed on labeling an unidentifiable fossil as extinct because the likelihood of an external taxonomic affinity is much reduced. Finally, a large number of deposits are known from the portion of the Eocene Epoch at or near the time of the early Tertiary plate separation, providing a better than average understanding of the gene pool from which later floristic elements must have been derived. A similar, though somewhat weaker case, can be made for the documentation of some of Australia's less mesic vegetation types, the qualifying feature here being the more recent evolution of these vegetation forms and their components, and hence the greater chance of external influence following Miocene collision with the Sundra Plate (Kemp, 1981).
The major events in the physical movements of the Australian Plate during the Tertiary are not contentious. There is general agreement that during the early Paleogene, Australia was attached to Antarctica via its southeastern corner and Tasmania (Figure 10.1) and that, although by mid-Miocene the shelves between components were likely submerged, they were still joined and oceanic circulation over that shelf was minimal. Near the end of the Eocene the rate of northward movement of the Australian Plate increased two- to threefold, and it continued at that rate until the leading, northern edge collided with the island arcs of the Sundra Plate in the Middle- to Late Miocene (Galloway and Kemp, 1981). Tectonic activity was minimal across most of the plate during this isolated rafting period, with the uplift of the eastern highlands likely occurring at an early stage of the Miocene (Ollier, 1986).
In order to assess the impact of Tertiary climatic change on the makeup of the modern Australian flora, it is first necessary to categorize the floristic or vegetational elements in the modern-day flora. A somewhat simplified vegetation map of Australia is shown in Figure 10.2. By distilling that further, it is possible to identify four categories of vegetation: (1) the closed forest systems, (2) the open forest or woodland systems, (3) the heath scrub or mallee systems, and (4) the great arid and semiarid systems that occupy a high percentage of the continental mass. A more thorough treatment of specific vegetation types in Australia may be found in Specht (1981a,b).
In examining the vegetation types one at a time, the first type to be considered is the closed forest system. As may be seen from Figure 10.3A, this system can also
basically be called a rain forest system. The forest shown in this figure is found in the tropical regions of northern Queensland and is known variously as a Complex Mesophyll Vine Forest (sensu Webb, 1959) or Megathermal Seasonal and Nonseasonal (sensu Nix, 1982). Both authors agree that there is a latitudinal/altitudinal gradient in these closed forests from the tropical in the north to the cool temperate southern beech forests in the south. Although currently covering less than 0.4% of the land mass, the closed forest is particularly important to the evolution of Australian vegetation systems because it contains some of the most ancient plant associations. In general, closed forests may be categorized by high diversity and biomass, a low subcanopy light regime, and constituent plants dominated by Gondwanic taxa.
The second major vegetation type is the open forest or woodland (Figure 10.3B). It is most prevalent in eastern and far southwestern Australia. This community is dominated by Eucalyptus species, and has a much lower diversity and biomass accumulation than the closed forest. A far greater amount of light reaches the subcanopy in these forests because of the vertical positioning of Eucalyptus leaves in general, and the majority of taxa in this community type are first reported in the Neogene.
The third vegetation system is the heath scrub or mallee vegetation (Figure 10.3C). It is characterized by an unexpectedly high species richness, with a flora of mixed origins but with reasonably low biomass accumulation. A family of shrubs found in this vegetation type is the Ericridaceae, the sister family of the Northern Hemisphere Ericaceae or heath family—hence the labeling of this vegetation system as "heath." The term mallee comes from a growth form of some Eucalyptus species as small, multistemmed trees growing from an underground lignotuber (Figure 10.3C). It is interesting to note that some Eucalyptus species (e.g., Eucalyptus baxteri) can be found growing as either a large tree or a mallee form, depending on the environment in which it is found. The mallee vegetation type is dominated by plants considered to be sclerophyllous—an environmental adaptation that is discussed later.
Finally, the arid and semiarid regions of the continent have a complicated system of vegetation types, of which two are most common. These are represented in Figures 10.3D and 10.3E and are Acacia shrublands and chenopod scrub, respectively. Although this vegetation type has exceptionally low biomass and diversity during much of its life, the bi- or triennial rains affecting the region can greatly increase the biomass production and the standing
species richness. This vegetation type has a marked resemblance to the sagebrush communities of North America as may be seen by comparing Figures 10.3E and 10.3F, although the taxa filling the various niches are totally unrelated.
It is interesting to note that the highly diverse and successful Eucalyptus is absent from the true arid, as it is from the closed forests. The presence and/or relative balance of these four systems can be examined as potential indicators of the climate changes through the Tertiary.
Simplistically, individual green plants can be considered as oxygen-burning food factories, and plant communities as industrial complexes competing for resources and for the general market. The structure of each factory and the balance between individuals (species) can be examined as responses to basic supply parameters. The study of foliar physiognomy has recognized these taxon-independent responses, and early in the twentieth century, Bailey and Sinnott (1916) noted a pattern of response between major climatic factors and specific foliar features. Wolfe (1990), however, demonstrated that univariate comparisons between individual climatic factors and plant responses were likely to lead to oversimplified or even erroneous conclusions.
In Australia, Webb (1959) erected a rain forest classification based on foliar physiognomic features, and Christophel and Greenwood (1988, 1989) demonstrated a predictable relationship between the canopy signatures used by Webb and the signatures of leaf litter. Thus, foliar physiognomy provides a tool for assessing the environment of a plant community that is independent of taxonomic identities of the constituent taxa.
Two climatic factors, available water (usually in the form of precipitation) and temperature (either mean annual, range, or extreme exclusive value), have been most frequently considered as basic to determining physiognomic signatures of floras. Within the Australian system, a third factor, the edaphic feature of soil nutrient availability (particularly phosphate), has been shown to have great importance (Beadle, 1966).
In a particularly important paper, Beadle (1966) concluded that a significant portion of the sclerophyll component of the Australian flora could likely have evolved its characteristic features in response to low nutrients rather than relative aridity. Sclerophyll plants are those with reduced, lignified leaves with short branch internodes and often thickened cuticles. Such features would commonly be thought of as having an adaptive advantage in a drying environment. Acceptance of Beadle's ideas allows a much more realistic mechanism for the floristic changes observed in the Tertiary of Australia. Beadle suggested that many sclerophyllous plants could have evolved in nutrient-poor soils around the margins of Paleogene rain forests. Thus, when climatic deterioration did occur, expansion of existing taxa from those pre-evolved low-nutrient pockets could occur much faster than if all responses to aridification had to be newly speciated. As can be seen later, Beadle's argument makes tenable the sometimes difficult to explain sclerophyllous (often thought xeromorphic) elements that crop up in otherwise mesic Paleogene rain forest plant fossil assemblages. Evidence in modern vegetation of the validity of Beadle's hypothesis comes from the Hawkebury Sandstone region of New South Wales, where in conditions of high rainfall and optimal temperatures a sclerophyll community thrives in the midst of a closed forest system. The only significant environmental difference is the very low nutrient levels of the soils supporting the sclerophyll vegetation.
The scale of climatic change being observed or monitored is related directly to the accuracy of calibration of the tools being used for the monitoring. Thus, when the palynology of late Tertiary or Quaternary deposits is being considered (e.g., Kershaw, 1976, 1981; Kershaw and Sluiter, 1982), it is possible to consider vegetation (and by inference climate) changes on a scale of thousands of years. As yet, however, it has not been possible to calibrate the Australian plant megafossil record to such accuracy.
It is still possible, however, to correlate some of the major climatic changes through the Tertiary with specific megafossil floras. If we examine a generalized chart of oxygen isotope curves for the Tertiary (Figure 10.4), some of the major climatic changes that affected many parts of the globe can be seen. Two are of particular interest. Although the Early Eocene is considered to be the most recent time at which a nearly greenhouse Earth was achieved, there was a significant cooling event at the beginning of the Middle Eocene. McGowran (1986, 1989) correlated this in Australia with an approximately 8-m.y. period during which almost no floral or faunal fossil record exists. This cool period was followed by a rapid rewarming in the late Middle and Late Eocene. However, there was a marked terminal Eocene event resulting in a rapid cooling. This Oligocene cooling is correlated in Australia with the initiation of the circum-Antarctic currents between Australia and Antarctica, and also with the glaciation of Antarctica. This cooling continued to the Middle Miocene, at which point there was a brief return to a warming cycle, followed by a cooling that has continued to the present. The two specific events to be considered relative to the Australian
megafossil record are therefore (1) the Middle Miocene fluctuation and (2) the terminal Eocene event.
The first area for which to consider plant megafossil evidence is the cooling cycle within the Middle Eocene. As is seen in Figure 10.5, there are a large number of known Eocene localities in southern Australia. Four of them—Maslin's Bay (Christophel and Blackburn, 1978), Golden Grove (Christophel and Greenwood, 1987), Anglesea (Christophel et al., 1987), and Nelly Creek (Christophel et al., 1991)—are late Middle Eocene and represent the return to warmth shown on Figure 10.4. They include classical tropical rain forest taxa such as Elaeocarpus/Sloanea, Lauraceae, and Gymnostoma. These four floras show a physiognomic signature consistent with that of the litter from Webb's Complex Notophyll Vine Forest or his Complex Mesophyll Vine Forest (Christophel and Greenwood, 1988). A little-documented site at Dean's Marsh (Douglas and Ferguson, 1988) (Figure 10.5), approximately 80 km east of the Anglesea locality, displays a physiognomic signature almost identical to that of the Anglesea locality. Whereas the Anglesea fossils occur high in the Eastern View Formation and are considered late Middle Eocene, the Dean's Marsh locality is basal Eastern View Formation and is late Early Eocene (Douglas and Ferguson, 1988). An examination of the taxa collected from the two localities has shown no taxa held in common. Although the deposits of the late Middle Eocene scattered across southern Australia show similar mixes of families and in many cases genera, the Dean's Marsh locality shows no such correlation. One explanation that fits nicely with the known data is that although they occur in very similar environmental situations, and hence have similar physiognomic signatures, the two deposits occur on either side of the 8-m.y. cooling period discussed by McGowran (1989); hence, the evolution and natural selection that occurred during that time selected totally different taxa for the same niches.
The major cooling event at the end of the Eocene is much easier to document. Palynological studies have highlighted it for many years (e.g., Kemp, 1978)—the most obvious signal being the shift from the tropical Nothofagus brassii pollen type to the Fusca and Menzesii types that
represent the small toothed-leaf Antarctic beeches known from the modern cool temperate floras in New Zealand, southern South America, and Tasmania. The only megafossil record of leaves and cupules of the N. brassii type comes from the Eocene of Tasmania (Hill, 1987), whereas the small-leafed types are prevalent in sediments from then onward. Hill and Carpenter (1991) have also provided data suggesting that some of the smaller-leafed conifers may also show a leaf size reduction across this crucial boundary.
In general the late Middle and Upper Eocene floras mentioned above all show physiognomic signatures indicating warm, wet climates, whereas those known from the Oligocene-Miocene show much reduced, sclerophyllous signatures. Localities displaying these features include Kiandra in New South Wales as well as Berwick and Bacchus Marsh in Victoria (Figure 10.6).
Not only does the physiognomic signature change, but so does the taxonomic composition of the flora. As can be seen in Table 10.1, the domination by the Gondwanic Proteaceae, Lauraceae, and Gymnostoma evident in the Eocene floras has been lost by Oligocene time and is replaced by elements of the flora now found in different modern communities—namely, Eucalyptus, Acacia, and Epacridaceae. The Proteaceae and Casuarinaceae are still prevalent, but the Proteaceae is now dominated by Banksia and sclerophyllous forms, and Allocasuarina and Casuarina (sensu Johnson, 1982) have now replaced the more mesic Gymnostoma. All of the above changes are well documented in the pollen record, but frustratingly, very few occurrences of Eucalyptus and Acacia are known from the megafossil record. Thus, two distinct significant global climatic events (Figure 10.4) can be seen to be reflected in the Australian megafossil record and, when considered floristically, appear to have had a major effect on the vegetation development of the continent.
TABLE 10.1 Main Plant Groups Represented in Australian Megafossil Deposits
If the four major types currently found in Australia are examined once more, they can be viewed in the light of major Tertiary climatic changes to the continent. The closed forests of the north and east of the continent clearly have their affinities with the greenhouse and near-greenhouse phases of Eocene Australia. Gondwanic families dominate, and in many cases the relationships are reflected at the generic level. Although there is no Eocene evidence for Eucalyptus, Acacia, or other taxa listed as Neogene in Table 10.1, Beadles's hypothesis suggests that they nonetheless could have evolved under depauperate soil conditions, but in quantities too small to be observed in the fragmentary fossil record. Then too, they may well have been initiated or survived in the mid-Eocene cooling represented by McGowran's (in Frakes et al., 1987) 8-m.y. ''hole" in Australia's fossil record.
Whatever their Eocene status, the sclerophyllous plant elements that dominate the open forest and the heath scrub today either evolved or spread during the Oligocene-Miocene refrigeration. This of course was aided by the inability of the Gondwanic closed forest components to survive over large areas during this climatic deterioration. The mid-Miocene warming suggested by Frakes et al. (1987) may well have guaranteed the survival of some of those Gondwanic elements that struggled through the refrigeration, and may also be reflected in the mixture of floral provinces in some vegetation types such as the forests at Wilson's Promontory near the southern tip of Victoria.
As might be expected, the macrofossil record for arid floras is poor, although Chenopodiaceae and Mimosaceae pollen is well documented from the late Miocene and Pliocene of several localities (Martin, 1981). Although for Charles Darwin the flowering plants represented the "abominable mystery," for Australian researchers it is perhaps Acacia. Although the genus is one of the few to occur in all major Australian habitats, and contains more than 650 species in Australia (Morley and Tolkein, 1983), there is only one confirmed report of fossil leaves from the late Miocene (Christophel, 1989), and pollen is not common. Thus, the explanation for the origin and spread of a genus whose distribution suggests it to be Gondwanic, and hence ancient, remains shrouded but is almost certain to be related, when once unraveled, to the changing Tertiary climates.

Sometimes these photographs and things are little reminders to myself, but basically more of a collection of my own thoughts from the last couple of months.
Dress – Urban Outfitters / Sandals – by Qupid purchased at Moorea Seal boutique in Seattle
Just when we thought we had run out of shooting locations in Mountain View, we came across this gem of a wall. I must've worn these sandals 6 out of the 7 days during the week and this was a dress that I bought years ago that I decided to bring back to life. It was tucked away in my closet next to a bunch of other dresses that I hadn't touched in awhile and at one point, thought that I would donate it. I at least didn't think it was a good fit for the summer because the fabric feels more like it is for fall and winter, but we made it work. Let's just call it the dress for all seasons. This scarf was given to me by my mom and I had never worn this all together before, but it's quite a match isn't it?
Zara Lace Frill Top – $49.90
It's Fashion Week month so there's no doubting that this post isn't going to be a heavier one than usual! Fall is here. It's very apparent from the items we listed below that we feel we absolutely must have.
Tank top – BP Nordstrom / Shorts – Aritzia / Belt + Sweater – Madewell / Birkenstocks
There are some days where we feel completely off when it comes to doing these mini photo shoots. Then there are days like this where I'm at my most comfortable and my photographer and co-worker Sandy is completely nailing it. This was the first time I'd ever worn this outfit to work and now actually looking back on it, it looks very disco to me. I remember getting dressed this morning and thinking I needed to trade in my Birkenstocks for a pair of roller skates. I remember it also being a scorching hot day as well, but I usually bring a cardigan of some sort since the air conditioning in the office can be unforgiving. We can't ever win with the right temperature in California. The next few pictures in these series don't vary much for the top one, but we still thought it would be fun to include.
Who: Cara Delevingne
Wearing: Burberry
Where: Burberry Spring 2016 fashion show in London
Give us everything.
Something Rumi Neely would wear we think! Julien Macdonald reminds me of the updated Herve Leger except everyone still wants to be wearing Julien Macdonald.

It was certainly after, since it wasn't even decided that it would be a space show until Sorbo was already onboard. The concept was developed along with the Tribune executives, and it took a while to become

Like I said, it was as much about experience as budget; the makeup artists hired for the show turned out not to have the right training for the kind of prosthetics work they were doing. Sometimes you enter into something in good faith with the best information you have available to you, and then it just turns out wrong for one reason or another. Even with the best judgment, you can't always guarantee in advance that something will work.
I do think they let their imagination get the better of them to an extent, coming up with ideas too big to fit on a syndicated TV show; but I can't really fault anyone for dreaming big. They might never have been able to get all of the AllSystems stuff on the screen, but with better execution and more time on the show, they could've done a lot more of it than they did.
Actually, in all honesty, it seems like they conceived Andromeda in such a way that it would've probably been better as a video game than a television series.
I always thought it would've worked better as a book series.
I say that because I don't think they did enough to establish the Commonwealth itself and how things were fairly good before throwing everything into the terrible future where everything was fractured and all around bad for everyone...
That I agree with. It seemed to me they were relying too much on the implication that the Commonwealth was basically the Federation, so all of us Trek/Roddenberry fans would understand going in what had been lost. And I don't think that really worked. I think they should've done a 2-hour pilot instead of 2 separate parts, and devoted most of the first half to establishing the Commonwealth before ripping it away. But they just didn't have the budget to show the Commonwealth and Tarn-Vedra at their height.

Written by Jes Hathaway

There's an epidemic in this country that seems to be spreading faster than a virus — fights over fishing allocation. All across the country, these battles rage on. Many of them have been going for decades, and few of them seem likely to end anytime soon.
In the Gulf of Mexico, sportfishing interests are knocking on the door of snapper-grouper IFQ allocations. The Coastal Conservation Association is pushing to keep the commercial allocation at a benchmark and allow any growth above that benchmark to be weighted in favor of recreational fishing.
The problem with that shift in allocation, as I described in "How is CCA like an oil spill?," is that catch shares work by allowing the rising tide of quota to lift all boats, not just the sporty ones.
The next theater for this fight is in Houston at the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council meeting, Feb. 5 and 6.
This week in Alaska, Cook Inlet setnet fishermen witnessed the predicted next step in their fight against a small minority of guided anglers and fishing-camp owners to keep their fishery from being banned.
The setnetters' opponents would like to ban the gear in urban areas and turn their quota over to sport fishermen, and that's all in the name of conservation. But how is it conservation if the quota simply falls into different hands? For more on this fight, see "Setnets unsnared for now."
But of course, these are just recent examples. And in many cases, the CCA can be found at the bottom of the heap. Let's not forget that Oregon fishermen lost their fishing grounds to sportfishing last year, and that North Carolina commercial fishermen and their supporters just barely beat back yet another fish-grab when the CCA tried to get red drum, spotted sea trout and striped bass designated as game fish.
It's critical for fishermen all over the country to be aware that they are not alone in these fights. Perhaps it will give every corner of the industry some momentum to keep battling. But it's not just fishermen who should care about these fights. We already import more than 90 percent of our seafood. If these fish grabs continue, the choices for consumers will continue to dwindle. Moving quota away from commercial fishermen takes American fish away from the overwhelming majority of American consumers. What happens to the fishermen floats downstream.

NMFS has awarded 16 grants totaling more than $2.5 million as part of its Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program.
The program supports the development of technological solutions and changes in fishing practices designed to minimize bycatch and aims to to find creative approaches and strategies for reducing bycatch, seabird interactions, and post-release mortality in federally managed fisheries.Read more...
Abe Williams, who was elected to the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association board last spring, has been selected as the new president as of September.
Williams fishes the F/V Crimson Fury, and is president of Nuna Resources, a nonprofit that supports sustainable resource development in rural Alaska, including fighting for an international solution to issues raised by the proposed Pebble Mine project.Read more...

Nothing appears after the last update
Not working, no support, deinstall
I wanted this plugin to work, but it doesn't. Options can't work (on/off).Lot of troubles with Google chrome
I so wanted this plugin to work, but alas it doesn't. Perhaps it doesn't like one of the other plugins, but there are other social share plugins that work fine with the rest of them, so I have deleted this one and have gone back to Shareaholic. If they fix it I might be back because I really like the way this displays on phones.
This will be UN-installed and replaced with some other company.
It does not work in FF 28+ or Chrome 33+.
I posted to the plugin forum and received NO support.
If it works for you, great.
If it does not work, get rid of it.
This don't work i can't click on none of the opitions in the set up also when i removed the plugin it give me some php error...wish it work tho seem to be a nice plugin but it have issues.

Drug Tester Gives Hedge Fund Run For Its Money Re: Talk Of Putting Employees In Body Bags
May 2010, Structured Portfolio Management founder Don Brownstein is said to "walk around [a] crowded conference room table while slapping the palm of his hand with a baseball bat, stopping behind [a trader] while stating, 'I'll kill you if you leave. The only way you can leave this firm is in a body bag.'"

Sony Vaio F 3D prototype laptop becomes reality in February

When it comes to aging gracefully, it's all about the eyes. This clinically-proven, award-winning concentrate provides a proverbial hat trick of benefits: it reduces the appearance of wrinkles, diminishes dark under-eye circles, and keeps puffiness in check.
at first, i just kept this sample i got in my box in my gym bag to use in case i needed it but when i ran out of my regular eye cream, i started using this more regularly. and i'm so glad i did! i immediately started seeing results after using this eye cream. my dark circles became lighter and i think i even noticed a change in the fine lines around my eye. i can't wait to buy the full size!5
I am always skeptical about the anti-aging products and after spending about 6 months trying to find the perfect cream/gel/solution to deal with my under eye circles, I finally found a winner. This is very light and a little goes a long way. I have definitely noticed a big change in the dark circles under my eyes.5
This eye cream is totally amazing. I don't have severely dark circles under my eyes but my first year as a professional has definitely caused heavier and darker than usual bags. The sample size lasted me about 2 months and made me look awake and refreshed- it lightened the bags and took the swelling down immensely- when it ran out is when I saw the most difference after a few days without the baggies came back!!! This will be a product I keep buying, its just fantastic!5
I've been using this product pretty consistently in the morning and at night for about 3 months. I have noticed a marked difference in the lines under my eyes. I like the consistency and refreshing feel of this cream. I would absolutely purchase this product in the future.5
I received this in my birchbox several weeks ago and am still getting use out of it. It is one of the first eye creams that I've mentioned to others and recommended in conversation. I use the product at night and, for the first time, look great enough to be around other people before putting on makeup or moisturizer. It is hydrating, tightening and very long lasting. Less than half a pea size will be more than enough to cover the intended area and allow you to wake up truly bright eyed.
Definite Buy!

Parliament and Council Directive amending Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging, and labelling of dangerous substances, O.J. 1996, L236/35).
Veerle Heyvaert
As of December 1996, the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, adopted on 22 March 1989 and entered into force on 5 May 1992, had been ratified by 108 States and the European Community (EC).
Since the first meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) in December 1992, there has been a definitive trend toward prohibiting the export of hazardous wastes from developed to developing countries. Decision III/1, taken by the third meeting of the COP in September 1995, formalized this trend by amending the Convention and introducing a new article obligating parties listed in a new Annex VII (the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the European Community (EC), and Liechtenstein) to prohibit all transboundary movements of hazardous wastes which are destined for operations according to Annex IV A to states not listed in Annex VII. (Annex IV A deals with operations that do not lead to the possibility of resource recovery, recycling, reclamation, direct re-use, or alternative uses.) Moreover, each party listed in Annex VII must phase out by 31 December 1997, and prohibit as of that date, all transboundary movements of hazardous wastes under Art. 1(I)(a) of the Convention that are destined for operations according to Annex IV B to states not listed in Annex VII. Such transboundary movement shall not be prohibited unless the wastes in question are characterized as hazardous under the Convention. The amendment needs to be ratified by two-thirds of the parties to enter into force. By year's end, the amendment had only been ratified by Finland.
Decision III/1 instructs the Technical Working Group (TWG) to expedite work on hazard characterization and the development of lists and technical guidelines for submission to and approval at the fourth meeting of the COP.
In 1996, the TWG made good progress in the development of lists of wastes, which are tools to bring clarity and certainty to the classification and

'Access Hollywood' and Latina Magazine Join Forces on '15 Latinas We Love' TV Special (Exclusive)
"Today" show news anchor and Latina magazine columnist, Natalie Morales, will host the hour-long program premiering in September.
Access Hollywood and Latina Magazine are joining forces to honor today's most influential Latina celebrities with the hour-long co-branded special, 15 Latinas We Love.
Today show news anchor and Latina Magazine parenting columnist, Natalie Morales, will host the special premiering the weekend of Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18. Check your local listings for the premiere in your area.
"Latinas have long been a force in this country, and such a part of who we are as Americans. It's amazing Latina was able to narrow it down to just 15!" Morales, who was shooting for the special at New York's Rockefeller Center on Tuesday, tells The Hollywood Reporter exclusively.
"I am honored to be hosting the 15 Latinas We Love special celebrating such an inspiring group of women, each of whom I truly admire," she continues. "They reflect the power, intelligence and strength of Latinas today."
15 Latinas We Love will feature behind-the-scenes video of the making of the magazine's anniversary cover, as well as exclusive video and new interviews with the 15 women being honored. Plus, Access Hollywood host Billy Bush will make a cameo appearance.
"As an entertainment news leader, we strongly value and embrace the contributions that Latinas have made to our industry and are proud to be alongside as a partner," Access Hollywood and Access Hollywood Live executive producer, Rob Silverstein, says of the partnership, which has been in the works for several months.
"The women being honored by Latina magazine have made such significant strides in their careers, not only for Latinas, but for women as a whole," he adds. "Access Hollywood will continue to champion the hard work and success of these powerful women and look forward to what is to come in the future."
The program coincides with Latina magazine's October anniversary edition, which will be available at newsstands on Sept. 13.
"It's exciting enough to be making our television special debut in this, our 15th anniversary year," says co-president and editorial director of Latina Media Ventures, Galina Espinoza. "But to have done so by partnering with Access Hollywood, the leading entertainment news program, really speaks to the growing influence and importance of our unique audience."
The 15 women featured in the special will be announced soon after Labor Day. Additionally, both AccessHollywood.com and Latina.com will feature extended interviews and additional content tied to the special.
Access Hollywood is produced by NBC Subsidiary (KNBC-TV), Inc. and distributed by NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution. Latina Magazine and Latina.com are the flagship properties of Latina Media Ventures LLC.
