After 1 month of shooting the rubber became unattached from the plastic clip. It is very poor glue if any was used. The rubber cap fell off when I was taking street shots and is now lost on the road somewhere in Cambodia. I'm going to try the larger eyecup when I get back home however I am quite dissapointed that it only lasted 3-4 weeks before coming loose.

PUMA Bans Fur and Exotic Skins
Posted April 16, 2012 by peta2 staff
Following discussions with PETA, PUMA—one of the world's largest designers and developers of sports footwear, apparel, and accessories—has pledged never to use animal fur, wool that comes from mulesed (i.e., mutilated) Australian sheep, or exotic-animal skins.
How appropriate that a company named after one of nature's most beautiful animals would help protect so many others!

Rob was born at the Groton Naval Sub Base in Groton, CT. When he was 6 months, his father (retired Cmdr. Michael Gilmore) was transferred overseas to Wick, Scotland where they would spend the next 3 years. Then they returned to the states moving up and down the east coast every few years.
Rob's father is a saxophone player who spent a couple years studying at Berkelee School of Music before joining the Navy. He would teach Rob, and his other four siblings, to read sheet music at church, how to tell if an instrument is in tune, and all kinds of songs with various instruments. Rob used to wake up some mornings to his dad playing the bagpipes.
When Rob was too little to even be able to hold a guitar properly he took in an interest in it. His oldest brother, also Mike, had an electric guitar he would frequently 'jam' on. It wasn't long until Rob's brother and father taught him to play his first chord progressions and melodys on an actual guitar.
Starting out with an avid interest in being the lead guitarist, Rob would work on scales constantly trying to achieve maximum speed and fluency. He looked up to such guitar greats as Jimi Hendrix, Tim Reynolds, Martin Sexton and many others for inspiration.
After Rob had been in a couple local bands as the "lead' guy he decided that he wanted to be the 'front man' and wanted to write his own songs the way he wanted to write them. He was a bit shy on stage at first, but quickly broke out of his shell and became popular among local musicians or writing catchy tunes with cool lyrics. This excited Rob and fueled as obsessive need to write songs more personal and inevitably, darker.
Exploring the life and the world and all it's experiences, Rob decided that he wanted to express tragedy, hopelessness, and sadness in a way that he had only seen or heard of. He had had a good upbringing and a lot of compassion toward people, so those two things combined manifested into this dark, twisted adventure story that he ended up calling life.
What started as experimental research, turned into disoriented focus and loss of direction which itself tapped into a primal need. This need choked the life out of the creative part of Rob's mind and made him forget himself and where he was heading. He underestimated the power of certain demons and where he thought he could overcome and help through experience, he needed that help himself. It took years being in and out of jail, embarrassing families, loveless relationships and childless children for Rob to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Everyone in his life that meant anything to him had abandoned him and for good reason. Then one day Rob wakes up out of a stupor, staring at the ceiling and wonders how he could change everything, if that was even possible. He stands up and hears a loud voice on the T.V. say, as if to him, "You've done enough research, haven't you?" And everything just kind of clicked. He wasn't right in the head yet, but that ignited some spark that reminded him of who he was.
What happens next is all written in song...

My best advice would be to sit and think on how the best ways to go about link building. Rather than seek out a new option, maybe you're doing something wrong with the current ways of building links? If its broken, then fix it. If its broken and you leave it, its always going to be broken.

Long time no talk everyone! I have missed you guys and your beautiful blogs so much. I have just started a job as a vegetarian chef in a new café and I'm loving it. I have the freedom to cook whatever I want to. I can focus on my favourite in season ingredients and use new techniques and inspiration that I find on my travels. Working on changing peoples perception of vegetarian and vegan food. . . even though I still have to deal with the people that think they are hilariously witty making jokes about steak and bacon. Ha. Ha. Haaa.
As you know, we said farewell to my beautiful Dutchie boy last week. He went to an amazing new home where his new fur mother keeps me updated on his every movement. It made the move a lot easier . . . even though I may have cried for 3 days. Which brings me to Apache! You guuuuuys, you are going to love Apache. He's a baby bunny that I found down by the beach. He did have a few brothers and sisters but they were attacked and killed by water rats. Story on Friday. For now, lets talk about food.
So these are just as I say they are, delicious balls of cookie dough, stuffed with chocolate and then covered in chocolate. Working such long shifts without regular meal breaks, I find myself getting wicked sugar cravings. I know it's bad, but if you are a chef too you will know that meal, or toilet breaks just don't come up too often. I do try to fill the void with juices and raw shakes but it is nice to indulge too.
I took these to a family dinner and my brothers devoured them. With coconut ice cream of course. Personally, I only need one to feel very indulged but I am pretty sure that my brothers don't have that filter. You know the one where you feel sick so you stop eating?
They are a bit too easy to eat and you can top them with anything you want. I'm going to try toasted coconut next. Store them in an air tight container in the fridge. They may bloom if they are in there longer than a week, but like that is gonna happen.
For easy rolling, dampen your hands with some water and roll. Make sure the balls aren't wet when they go into the chocolate though, or your chocolate will seize!
Follow my lead. . .
- 200g butter, softened
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 40ml pure cream
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1 tbsp milk
- 300g chocolate chips
- 400g chocolate melts, melted
- 2 tbsp 100's and 1000's
- Line a baking tray with canola oil spray and baking paper and set aside.
- Using an electric mixer with the leaf beater attached, cream the butter, vanilla and sugar until whipped and lightened in colour.
- Fold through the cream, flour, milk and chocolate chips and place into the refrigerator for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Roll 1 tbsp sized balls and place onto the prepared tray. Place back into the refrigerator to set for 10 minutes.
- Dip the balls into the melted chocolate and drip excess chocolate off using a fork. Place back onto the baking tray and sprinkle with 100's and 1000's. Repeat until all are coated and place back into the refrigerator until set.
- Chew.

Even though I am only 6in erect, the regular condoms were too tight because of my girth. I gave the magnum a try and now they're the only ones I buy. They are very comfortable.
Bottom Line: I would recommend to a friend.

I tried a few of the regulars, kept tearing them. So I tried a magnum, and it fit better, however Ive never been able to get one on all the way. Im contemplating trying an XL , because I was only able to put it on half way. So here goes the nothin, XXL here I come

I am a sophmore in college and I wasnt to sexually active in high school so I didnt really know about different size condoms. My girlfriend of two years noticed how regular condoms would look uncomfortable on me. And she suggest larger condoms, I just laughed because I thought it was normal to look like that but when I brought my first box of lifestyles large they fit perfectly but were not to lubricated. And then I brought my first box of magnums and was shocked. They are so much better well lubricated. Highly recommended, if you can fit them.

My wife cant take birth control pills because of a medical condition, so we have to use condoms. We went through a number of brands before trying Magnum. With these, there are No breaks, and the comfort is unbeatable. You may not realize you need themtake a ruler out and measure. I am only 8 or so inches, but that is big enough to require a little extra room. (they also are a little wider, which also helps) If your having trouble, try these. You and your partner will both benefit.

Since my husband and I opted for condoms instead of chemical birth control we thought our sex life was about to be doomed. My husband is of larger size and has always complained about condom's durning his single life. I'm soo surprised he hasn't used these until now. Magnum's are da bomb!

My boyfriend and I have been using Magnums before ordering them from Undercover Condoms. Magnums are much more comfortable for him since his penis is wider than average. These condoms are so expensive at the stores here in Atlanta, and sometimes they are locked up so you have to ask the cashier to open the glass for you- kind of embarassing. Ordering them from Undercover Condoms was great because the package was discreet and they came in great time.

The MAGNUM is a much better fit, and has made our experience better and with less worry and hassle.TROJAN is clearly the industry leader, and you get what you pay for, whatever your size...

This is a great condom. Before I was having problems with condoms fitting too tight, to the point where it felt like the circulation was being cut off. Then I tried the Kimono Maxx condom, which was still tight and then it continuously broke. Needless to say that condom sucked. Then I stepped up the The Trojan Magnum. Fit like a glove. It fits just right. It rolls to the bottom and stays. It is just comfortable overall and hasn't given me a problem yet. It packages my 8.5 inches long, by 5 1/4 around penis just right.

I've been using Trojan's 'Elexa' Natural Feel, which I like because they seem a little less snug than some (like twisted pleasure or polyethylene condoms) and they have a low latex odor which I consider a big plus. I never considered using magnums as I'm maybe just a little above average size. But I do notice that it's not always easy to get regular condoms to roll all the way down, to keep them down (I always do the 'almost there' roll-down check), and then to get them off afterward. It's not something I've ever though much of so I haven't considered other options.But after discussing it with my girlfriend I did a little research on wikipedia and it turns out that the magnums are just 1/8 of an inch wider than most regular condoms. So I tried them (I made my girlfriend buy them. I'm not going to be one of THOSE guys, strutting up to the register.)The difference in size, as my researh suggested, isn't that much (although the XL's ARE much bigger), but it's enough to increase comfort significantly. As I said I consider myself to be within an average range of size so I think more guys could really benefit from the magnums. They roll down easier and stay down easier, and much more comfortable to remove.I gave them fours stars just because the latex odor isn't as minimal as the Elexas.

I've been using standard condoms for years, until recently I slept with a girl who said, "Isn't that a little too tight?!"... I just assumed that was how they were supposed to fit!! As stupid as that sounds, I went out and bought some magnums... oh man... big difference. And it was a bit of a confidence booster too!Great product. Wish I would have tried earlier.
Was this helpful? 175 75
I finally tried these. I honestly thought one had to be 12" to use these. I'm more like 9" and just presumed some condoms were too tight and I was just stuck on the wrong brands or models. Magnums have opened up a new sexual world for me. I'm glad I tried them now and not later!
Was this helpful? 123 52
I've found this to be a really reliable and well fitting condom for years, now, and it's the one I always come back to when I need a condom that's both safe and great feeling.

Man, I was first was given this condom by a friend and thought I am really not that big so I never used it. However I did have a hard time with the width of all the other condoms, but just thought whatever and kept going. Finally after ripping countless condoms due to the tightness I tried the MAGNUM and wow so much more width room it fit perfectly, no slippage and the length is about the same as a regular condom. These are the only condoms I buy now. I have yet to use the sensitive kind but I cant complain about regular latex. So for the guys out there that are wide but maybe not as long, still use the magnum...it cant be beat.

Regular size condom always hurt and cut off my circulation. After becoming frustrated with the regulars, I finally invested in a pack of magnums. They are comfortable and don't cut off circulation. A must have for guys who have bigger girth. Thanks for everything Trojan.
Was this helpful? 312 167
My pre-magnum experiences ranged from okay (LifeStyles Extra Sensitive) to uncomfortably tight (Trojan Shared Sensations) to painfully tight (Trojan Warming Sensations). I was entirely unexperienced prior to my current relationship, so it didn't occur to me that I needed a larger size until A. suggested it. Tried Trojan Magnums once and haven't gone back. My girlfriend says she can feel the difference, with increased size and contour - and I can certainly feel the roomier, perfect fit. Transmits much more heat and sensation than standard extra-thins, at least in my case. I heartily recommend them!
Was this helpful? 155 83
These are my favorites because they fit perfectly. I'm not "big" (by any stretch of the imagination) but they feel secure without pinching (unlike the Ultra Thins, which make me feel like I could lose all circulation). Thin enough, very comfortable and probably great for most guys of "average" size.

I thought Magnum condoms were longer then regular ones and thought they were for suckers... Well, I hated other condoms because they were too tight, made it harder to keep erect, would slide forward, and they physically hurt. I thought they were supposed to be tight, so I didn't know there was a problem. I'm just under 7 inches, but the girth was the problem.Magnums fit soooooooo much better, feel sooooooo much better and don't slide forward. It's completely changed having sex with a condom for me. I felt stupid buying them the first time, but I'm very glad I did.If you have trouble with fit or they feel unconfortably tight, I would definitely give them a shot.
Pros: way better fit
doesn't cut off circulation

Bank Dividends Tied to Stress Tests
TheStreet) -- The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that will require banks to provide detailed stress tests and capital plans before they move ahead with dividend restoration. The decision comes after months of investors anxiously awaiting dividend hikes -- and just after a Congressional Oversight Panel and witnesses at a hearing on Tuesday urged regulators to stress tests the banks once again.In guidelines issued for capital use in 2011, the Fed said banks must provide "a comprehensive capital plan" by Jan. 7. The plan must incorporates a stress test to consider a range of economic, market and operational conditions, including severe scnarios, to estimate potential capital needs. "It should capture, among other elements, management's estimates of potential losses, revenues and the amount of capital needed to withstand these scenarios and be able to continue to operate in a safe and sound financial condition," said the Fed. Banks that will be required to undergo another review of capital adequacy are the same 19 that faced stress tests in the spring of 2009: Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report), Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report), Citigroup (C - Get Report), Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report), Morgan Stanley (MS - Get Report), U.S. Bancorp (USB - Get Report), Bank of New York Mellon (BK - Get Report), State Street (STT - Get Report), Ally Financial (then known as GMAC), Capital One (COF - Get Report), PNC (PNC - Get Report), American Express (AXP), KeyCorp (KEY - Get Report), Fifth Third (FITB - Get Report), SunTrust (STI - Get Report), BB&T (BBT - Get Report), Regions (RF - Get Report) and MetLife (MET - Get Report). Confidence returned to the market after the Fed released the results of its own stress test in May of last year. The results showed those banks needed to raise another $74.6 billion in capital to prepare for a worst-case scenario -- far less than investors had feared. In recent weeks, several of the country's largest mortgage servicers have faced intense scrutiny over their mortgage practices - from origination to foreclosure. Investigations and lawsuits related to origination, securitization and foreclosure practices have led to speculative estimates of potential damage.WASHINGTON (

HLM: What strategies should HR execs implement to make sure the quality of hires isn't lacking because of the volume?
Margetts: You have to be really clear about who you're looking for. Spend time on the front-end outlining those things related to the job and the cultural attributes you're looking for with the hiring managers.
Make sure you're very clear and work very closely with the hiring managers. It's extremely important that they are a partner in this and that the managers spend a significant enough amount of time to interview the choices.
It's also important to assess where you're sourcing your candidates from. We've tried to be very diligent about getting out in the community, especially vocally, since we're a new part of the community. We've made sure we're going to Irvine job fairs and local events, etc.
So I think tapping into that local talent is a good strategy. We have paid more attention to our assessment processes, too, to make sure that people do, to the best of our knowledge, fit into the organization and the culture. We have assessment tools to make sure that potential employees meet some basic behavioral criteria for fitting into our organization.

Singapore, 27 June (Argus) — The Indian government has raised domestic fuel prices for the first time since June last year, potentially easing the subsidy burden on state-owned oil firms.
Delhi increased diesel prices by 3 rupees/litre (7¢/l), kerosine by 2 Rs/l and LPG by Rs50 for a 14kg cylinder, with the changes effective 25 June.
The government also abolished a 5pc import duty on crude and reduced the import duty on diesel and gasoline to 2.5pc from 7.5pc.
The increase of domestic fuel prices comes almost exactly a year after the last change to India's heavily subsidised retail market, which included the liberalisation of gasoline prices. Further changes to diesel prices had been expected sooner, but rising inflation concerns have held the government back.
The latest products price increase follows last week's sharp fall in crude prices, which could ease inflationary pressures.
And the increase will reduce the amount of subsidies that state-owned upstream firms pay to refiners as compensation for selling fuel at government-capped prices. Subsidies on oil products alone accounted for 2pc of India's GDP last month, the OECD said in a report calling for an end to the practice.

This is a great inexpensive flea comb. Using a light colored one, like yellow, makes the flea very easy to spot. Can spot flea "dirt" easily, too. Good small teeth to pull out those nasty buggers.

Great for finding fleas or flea dirt
posted 8 years ago
This comb is very effective at finding live fleas and flea dirt. Simply comb deep into fur, and examine what is pulled up by the comb. If you have any doubt whether your pet has fleas, this is the perfect flea comb.
Pros: Finds live fleas and flea dirt
Cons: Gets tangled in long fur

Kurt Angle meeting
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Kurt Angle revealed that WWE had canceled a meeting with him. The two sides were supposed to talk about a contract to bring the former world heavyweight champion back into the mix. Angle felt a little disrespected that he was treated like a nobody. He stated that Triple H told him that they already had enough talent on the roster, something that Vince McMahon would never say.

It would be inaccurate to call the revised proposal for locating the Colorado History Museum in Denver's Civic Center a "compromise."
Instead, in the language of computer software, it's a "major upgrade."
Version 1.0 of the museum plan called for a four-story structure at the southwest corner of Civic Center. Champions of the status quo at the venerable but downtrodden park greeted it with the same scorn computer geeks hurled at the new Windows Vista operating system.
For our part, we shared the hope voiced by Mayor John Hickenlooper that the museum and the several hundred visitors it would draw on a typical day could "activate" the park. But we felt the original plan misused the historic Carnegie library on Civic Center's northwest corner by relegating it to office space instead of making it the hub of the new museum.
Historic building. History museum. It makes perfect sense.
Now, thanks to the tireless efforts of Councilwoman Jeanne Robb and Mayor Hickenlooper and his staff, the new plan does center on the old library, now called the McNichols building.
Civic Center now provides precious open space between the state Capitol and city hall. But except for a few huge festivals like the Capitol Hill People's Fair and A Taste of Colorado, it's usually deserted except for a gaggle of homeless people and an occasional drug dealer.
The best exceptions to that rule last summer were the successful farmers markets — lively affairs that made the park inviting for office workers and strollers. Putting the history museum in the park offers the possibility of activating the park on that human scale every day, without reducing its ability to handle special occasions.
The new vision still calls for a building on the southwest corner, but it's a single-story, glass structure to serve as an exit from the exhibit area — which will still be buried underground between the new building and the old library. It will house free, public exhibits, host a cafe, and serve other needs. Critically, it avoids the visual disruption a four-story structure would have caused.
As a final plus, the revised plan also makes effective use of the old permit center just south of city hall to house the Denver Cultural Center, nonprofit cultural groups and extra office and storage space for the historical society. That preserves another part of the city's living history, since that building was once the University of Denver Law School and has been a valued part of the Civic Center scene for more than half a century.
The new, improved Museum 2.0 proposal won't end all opposition in our sometimes cantankerous town. But it validates the decision of Hickenlooper and Robb to invite widespread public participation and turn what was initially a mixed blessing for Civic Center into a tonic for revitalizing the capital city's heart.

Time and space are pervasive in human experience and in language; they are essential in understanding the Discourse Modes. Text progression depends on both domains. The temporal modes progress with changes in time and space, while the atemporal modes progress with metaphorical changes of location through the text domain. This chapter discusses text progression in the temporal modes; the atemporal modes are considered in Chapter 6.
The principles for temporal progression are essentially pragmatic, depending on inference about how situations are related to each other and to times. Tense is interpreted in three different patterns. After discussing progression in the modes, I provide the linguistic account that underlies the analysis, and implement it in Discourse Representation Theory. There is a distinct grammatical sub-system for talking about time in English, consisting of tense and time adverbials. The system is a closed one: choice of tense and type of adverbial is limited to a small set of alternatives. In contrast, spatial information is conveyed by lexical means that do not constitute a grammatical sub-system, except for a very few deictic adverbials.
Section 5.1 discusses temporal interpretation in the temporal discourse modes; 5.2 introduces the sub-system of temporal location in English; 5.3 implements the interpretations in Discourse Representation Structures; 5.4 discusses space, and how it differs in linguistic expression from the temporal domain; 5.5 gives the forms and linguistic features of the temporal location sub-system.
The syntactic domain of tense is the clause: tense appears in some form in every clause of a language with morphological tense. The interpretation of tense requires information from context, however. Tense is interpreted differently according to the Discourse Mode of a passage. There are three patterns of interpretation: Continuity, Anaphora, and Deixis. Recognizing the

I'm really impressed with this product! ... since I've been slowly switching to a more organic lifestyle aka "going green" ... i've been replacing a Lot of my hair and skins products.
This GPB protien conditioner was to replace my aphogee protein treatment. And so far, I love it ten times more than Aphogee, for soo reasons. 1. My hair isn't dead hard and wiry after using this conditioner. 2. So, as well as the protien factor, is Very moisturizing. 3. My hair really has been strengthened and restored. I can comb through my hair with a Lot less breakage. 4. The ingredients are pretty much all natural and really gentle of my hair and skin.
I love it.

Smell is somewhat overwhelming. It did nothing to condition my hair and i think it made it drier. Didnt like it at all!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I tried to use this as an everyday conditioner and it didn't work out for me. Left my hair a little to oily. I would use it every two weeks of so for some deep conditioning, though.
The smell is quite terrible... like men's aftershave (Old Spice-y) or a toilet bowl freshener. My hair is thick and holds on to smells, so that makes this a huge con for the product.
Was way too expensive...wanted more for what I paid.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium

This is my HG treatment conditioner. When I first bought it, I tried to use it everyday, but found it pulled the curl out of my hair, as it was TOO conditioned. I have wavy to curly hair (like a 2c-3a), and each strand is thin but there are a lot of them, with obviously no protein sensitivity, and I use this in place of my regular conditioner (Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose) about once every two weeks, and it keeps my hair bouncy and frizz-free in between uses. I use it when I feel like my hair is getting a bit limp and the curl isn't as bouncy, and it revives the curl right away. Some people complain about the smell, but I LOVE it. It is really herby, but with a sweet musky overtone, and it makes my hair smell wonderful all day. I like the smell better than the Honeysuckle Rose, and wish the two smells reversed so I could have this smell for my daily! Love it, will repurchase it, and the only complaint I have is that the bottle is a squeezy deal that is hard to get the product out of. Other than that, lovely!
EDIT: I have reduced this from my original glowing review to a two-lippie review. Over the course of using this, my hair got flatter and flatter with less and less curl as the days passed. I know that some people have a protein sensitivity, and I now realize that I am one of those people... this is not the product's fault, but rather mine for not realizing that earlier. If you have no protein issues with your hair, this might be great for you!

hate the smell but love the way it makes my hair so soft. softer than the honeysuckle rose conditioner. i use this occassionally when my hair feels super dry and it makes it smooth and silky. it sucks taking aubrey shampoos/conditioners on planes because they spill everywhere :(

Skin: Acne-prone, Tan, Warm

If you chemically treat your hair (perm, relax, color) then I would suggest using this at least once a week. It's that good at strengthening your hair. Since I wear my hair natural, I don't use this very much anymore. But during those times when I crave straight hair and I'm heavy on the blow dryers and flat irons, this keeps my naturally curly hair strong.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine

This is a protein conditioner- not an everyday moisturizing conditioner- so keep that in mind as you read the reviews below. If your hair does not like protein or does not need protein, this is not the conditioner for you.
My highlighted, sun damaged hair loves this stuff. I put it on dry hair, put a shower cap on, and leave it on for as long as I can (maybe 30 minutes) 1x per week. After shampooing it out, I usually follow it with my weekly deep treatment- L'Oreals Mega Therapy. This is just a 15 year habit of knowing to follow protein treatments with a moisturizing treatment.
HOWEVER, even if I don't follow with the moisturizing treatment, my hair is still fabulous. It is not like straw like some other protein Rx's I've used in the past.
The smell is strong- hubby says toilet cleaner- but I don't care about smell as long as it works, and this does. My hair is no longer snapping off, it's stronger, and instead of frizz- I have soft waves.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This is the best conditioner without petrochemicals that I have found so far. Plus, I love the soft coconut protein shake fragrance better than Aubrey's other conditioner fragrances. (It smells a bit better than the matching shampoo.)
GPB Conditioner has a unique, thick consistency, maybe since it doesn't have the petrochemicals that other brands have (including other "natural" brands like Nature's Gate). I have to use a lot to fully condition my long hair, but I really enjoy the aromatheraputic experience.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Other, Other, Fine
Eyes: Blue
This is my HG conditioner. I've tried practically every conditioner and this one makes my hair soft, shiny, and manageable. It's better than the most expensive salon products out there.
I love that it's completely natural, too!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I was intrigued by this conditioner as it had received some really good reviews. I feel like I have been searching forever for a conditioner that is natural yet gives me the kind of soft, silky hair that I get after using one of the chemical (normal) conditioners.
This conditioner didn't quite live up to expectations. The texture does not lend itself to easy application - I felt that I was dragging it across my hair rather than smoothing it over. I don't really mind the slightly medicinal smell or the feeling after you've washed it out that there is residue on your hair. My advice with this conditioner is wash it out thoroughly. It left my hair with loads of bounce and feeling lightweight. clean and soft. It wasn't as moisturising as I liked so I now mix it with Naked Rescue Intensive Repair & Renew Hair Treatment (from Boots) and the result: fabulous, head-turning hair.
The intensive conditioner provides the moisture and the GPB provides the bounce. One thing I have noticed with all my experimentation is that the shampoo you use makes a real difference to the results so mix and match and experiment before consigning any product to the bin.

Humble Quilts Doll Quilt Swap 2015

Celebrating is good for the soul....
Celebrating is good for the soul....this is my reflection on my May birthday trip! I turned 59 ...... (sigh) next year is another milestone, my thoughts have been on what is most important and what values and goals I would like to achieve. It has been a very enlightening and meaningful experience. Life can pull us along like a strong current but a choosen path with a purpose brings peace and direction!
My birthday trip turned into a tri-fecta event:: First up was to scoot over to Eugene and pick up my mother have a delicious dinner and head up to Seattle the next morning. We talked about all the places we could stop along the way, girls talking about choices, well maybe this should have been done the night before. We finally decided to stop in Des Moines, WA, at
Country Quilts!!! Yes that is basically in Seattle!!
We always love this Quilt Shop, I muse the Jo fabrics looking for old and new alike for my stash!! We found some fun items but alas no pictures!!
The next morning we drove to Leavenworth, WA for a much anticipated class with Gail Pan offered by Lynn Reppas, proprietor of
Leavenworth Quilt Company
. This is a delightful store. We enjoyed the selections of fabrics, wool, kits and a very friendly staff!
Our class with Gail Pan was so much fun, it started with an evening event where Gail shared many of her wonderful embroidered and quilted projects. She is a delight to listen too and such a fun sense of humor! Her story and journey into an international quilt designer, author and teacher was entertaining and left you admiring a special lady who loves sharing her "darling" embroidery style! If you have an opportunity to attend a class with Gail do and enjoy!
We started off embroidering a journal, Gail had the pattern printed on our fabric so we could just get into the fun stuff....
All printed and ready to go, she brought lollies.....yum!! Gail loves sharing her love for embroidery, so helpful with tips....
Thanks Gail we loved our time with you!! You can fin Gail's designs
The city of Leavenworth is set close to the mountains and celebrates Bavarian culture, we enjoyed there May celebrations and wonderful shops and restaurants. It is a very friendly and charming town, which was so appreciated! We will visit again!
We drove back to Seattle Sunday for Mother's Day! We enjoyed a special dinner with my sisters family with mom! It was a special day.
Monday was spent in Seattle touring the
Pacific Science Center
, Pompeii Exhibit. The exhibit was fascinating!!
Then a lighthearted tour of
Theo Chocolate
factory! Yummy samples and hot!!! I would find it a huge challenge working in the heat inside the factory!! But I enjoyed the one hour tour, and was impressed to see their efforts to be non-GMO and eco-friendly!! Seattle has so much to offer and it was enjoyable seeing new places this visit! Thanks Christie for a very fun celebration.
I will share my Oregon Coast retreats next......and some cute toes!
Heartfelt Blessings,

It's time to....
It's time to catch up and keep up for sure!!! Right? You would think this was difficult, challenging yes but not difficult.
Sooooo this year has past the first quarter already!! Amazing!
I am very happy to see this nice spring weather for sure, not that we had a real winter. But the days were short and the nights cold. I just call it the un-winter of 2014. That is in the west anyway, I know the eastern half of our great country had the opposite.
So what I did this winter was help my mother move out of her home, preparing to put it on the market this spring. It was bittersweet for sure since Dad and Mom built this home and developed the land from scratch. It is an amazing place, 30 acres of woods, wildlife including elk, deer, bear, turkeys. Chantrelle mushrooms, lady slippers, and many other wild flowers. A pond all the grandkids caught salamanders in and floated hand-made sail boats.
I would ask mom if she was feeling any regret each time I was there and she said No Way!! When you know you are doing the right thing there is Peace! Very worth noting and remembering!
Late January we moved mom into her temporary home in Eugene. She loves it and will thrive there. Thriving is what I believe we are meant to do, not just be!!
I did some quilting on some projects that I made before my days at Subway. I love this wallhanging I did with Farmhouse Woolens.
A couple of Woolie mats, this Bunny is a Buttermilk Basin that I finished for Easter.
This second is a Primitive Gatherings kit I have had for some time and love having it finished.
So this is my April catch up in June!! :) Next up my fun May birthday trip!

A Little Fun
Since we were in Eugene to visit with a Real Estate Agent mom and I took the opportunity to do some shopping! Shamrock Flowers and Gifts was so much fun with all their cute decorations. It has been many years since I was their and they didn't disappoint!
Mom and I bought gifts for each other, this is the snowman she bought me, except with a red scarf. There were so many cute ones it was dilema!
I loved the one with the striped scarf!
Oh theres Mom looking real tempted.....
Isn't this an awesome display for ribbons, love it too!
We stopped in at Pottery Barn and founds towels on sale 30% off for the day, had to get some for the guest bathroom. And we loved these pillows. Mom chose a little pillow for her gift! Its adorable on her bed.....it has embroidered" And to All a Good Night" Darn it, I didn't take a picture!
We thought this pillow would be fun to make! We had a car like this when I was a little girl.
Are you enjoying the holiday blog hops, I have been following Staceys " Primitive Christmas Blog Hop" at
Buttermilk Basin
. You can follow along by going to the link. Have you made any of the cute projects?
I have been stitching one up and its so fun!

It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
We are smack dab in the middle of the Holiday season so I better get posting something.....right? Thank you to my blog friends that nudge me along, I appreciate all the wonderful friends in blogland. I have decided that when we travel, meeting up with bloggers is at the top of my list. We are planning some fun adventures in the next couple years so Mr. Cricketwood is on-board with meeting up too! I love that!!
This favorite quilt is off to the quilters and I am so excited about this....
I will get it back in the middle of the month and sew on the binding, so excited to hang it this year! This is a quilt from a Need'l love book, I started it so many years ago and have redone the applique and wools pieces so many times, so thankful to have it finished...almost!
I spent the Thanksgiving Holiday at my mothers home. She is selling her home of 30plus years, which is a 30 acre tree farm as well. Whew! What a job packing your life up at 84. My mom is amazing, it has been seven years since my dad passed and she is ready to be in town and have neighbors. We packed, met with a perspective realtor, shopped and had a fabulous 5 days together.
My daughter came for dinner and brought us gorgeous Poinsettias...
Mine is pictured in one of the crocks mom gave me. I am so far behind on getting down the pumpkins and decorating for Christmas. I will be doing some cleaning/decorating this week along with my month-end bookkeeping!
God bless you in all your Holiday preperations and parties, I will be back soon with some fun quilty highlights from the long no-post year!!! :))

A Warm Retreat
I am in awe of all the creative quilters who blog on a regular basis. I personally feel I chase my tail a lot! I have very good intentions to finish projects, blog, even keep a clean house. But......Oh well All is Good.
So....Spring Break took HH and I to warm sunny Palm Desert, Indio, CA to be exact. We stayed at a wonderful Wyndham Resort that was so relaxing and beautiful. My one goal was to exercise every morning at their gym. I spent an hour, 30 minutes on the bike or stair stepper type gadget! And I am proud of myself that I achieved that goal. And 4 days of just laying by their gorgeous pool working on a tan, with 30 sunscreen. I didn't get very tanned, but I didn't burn myself either. It was so wonderful soaking up the warmth of the sun, I know we will be getting warm here in a couple more months, I am anxious for the change!
The grounds were beautiful and even had a Starbucks to keep up a good cup of morning coffee.
We did some eating out at wonderful restaurants, Jackalope Grill was wonderful in every aspect. They have wonderfully prepared food in a tropical setting. They have a gorgeous water feature that makes outside seating the most pleasant experience.
There is a tram that we took up to San Jacinto Mtn. it was a nervous ride but amazing, you rise 6500 feet to enjoy a hike full of gorgeous vantage points overlooking the valley. They weather was perfect for hiking and enjoying the beautiful area.
After a wonderful week we headed out to Oceanside, a two hour drive, to visit our grandson, Tylor, who is stationed at Camp Pendleton. We met him at the beach and had the most wonderful visit, even if a short one!
I just love this man, he makes my life feel complete when I am with him. This week he started his Basic Recon Course, he is in my prayers every day!!! This Marine is my Courage!
We are back in Oregon with Snow, Sleet and Rain.....and the farm on Cricketwood! I will be back with pictures of my visit to The Fat Quarter Shop in Vista, CA.
Spring Blessings,

ANY CUT in the top rate of income tax has been dismissed out of hand by the Liberal Deomcrats' most senior Treasury minister.
Danny Alexander claimed the current 45% rate was "the right place to be", and moves to slash the rate further would be made "over my dead body".
Further reading
The Liberal Democrats had initially opposed the cut from 50% to 45%, although the party leadership was agreed in return for the bigger than scheduled rise in the amount people can earn before paying income tax.
No cut to the rate has yet been put forward, but senior Conservatives, including mayor of London Boris Johnson, have expressed a desire to lower the rate closer to 40%.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Johnson said: "The last thing I want to see is pointless sacrifice from the Liberal Democrats, let alone the dead body of Danny Alexander.
"Sooner or later there will have to be a new Conservative manifesto and I can't believe we are going to go into an election on a manifesto to keep our tax rates higher than our competitor countries."
Johnson was responding to an interview given by chief secretary to the Treasury Alexander to the Mirror, in which he said: "I wouldn't go to cutting below 45%. I would say that would happen over my dead body. It's clearer and simpler and better to say we are going to stick where we are. We have the 45p rate and that's the right place to be."

Transcriptional bursting
Transcriptional bursting, also known as transcriptional pulsing, is a fundamental property of genes in which transcription from DNA to RNA can occur in "bursts" or "pulses", which has been observed in diverse organisms, from bacteria to mammals.[1][2][3][4] This phenomenon came to light with the advent of technologies, such as MS2 tagging and single molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridisation, to detect RNA production in single cells, through precise measurements of RNA number or RNA appearance at the gene. Other, more widespread techniques, such as Northern blotting, microarrays, RT-PCR and RNA-Seq, measure bulk RNA levels from homogenous population extracts. These techniques lose dynamic information from individual cells and give the impression that transcription is a continuous smooth process. Observed at an individual cell level, transcription is irregular, with strong periods of activity interspersed by long periods of inactivity.
Bursting may result from the stochastic nature of biochemical events superimposed upon a two step fluctuation. In its most simple form, the gene can exist in two states, one where activity is negligible and one where there is a certain probability of activation.[5] Only in the second state does transcription readily occur. Whilst the nuclear and signaling landscapes of complex eukaryotic nuclei may favour more than two simple states- for example, there are over twenty post-translational modifications of nucleosomes known, this simple two step model perhaps provides a reasonable intellectual framework for understanding the changing probabilities affecting transcription. It seems likely that some rudimentary eukaryotes have genes which do not show bursting. The genes are always in the permissive state, with a simple probability describing the numbers of RNAs generated.[6]
What do the repressive and permissive states represent? An attractive idea is that the repressed state is a closed chromatin conformation whilst the permissive state is an open one. Another hypothesis is that the fluctuations reflect transition between bound pre-initiation complexes (permissive) and dissociated ones (restrictive). Bursts may also result from bursty signalling, cell cycle effects or movement of chromatin to and from transcription factories. Recent data suggest different degrees of supercoiling distinguish the permissive and inactive states.[7]
The bursting phenomenon, as opposed to simple probabilistic models of transcription, can account for the high variability (see transcriptional noise) in gene expression occurring between cells in isogenic populations. This variability in turn can have tremendous consequences on cell behaviour, and must be mitigated or integrated. In certain contexts, such as the survival of microbes in rapidly changing stressful environments, or several types of scattered differentiation, the variability may be essential.[8] Variability also impacts upon the effectiveness of clinical treatment, with resistance of bacteria to antibiotics demonstrably caused by non-genetic differences.[9][10] Variability in gene expression may also contribute to resistance of sub-populations of cancer cells to chemotherapy.[11]
