3 Stocks Reiterated As A Buy: GE, WMT, GS
Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B+. According to TheStreet Ratings team: The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, reasonable valuation levels and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself. EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass. Highlights from the ratings report include:Wal-Mart Stores Inc:
- WMT's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 5.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 0.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $5,939.00 million or 21.35% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, WAL-MART STORES INC has also modestly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 12.36%.
- WAL-MART STORES INC' earnings per share from the most recent quarter came in slightly below the year earlier quarter. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, WAL-MART STORES INC reported lower earnings of $4.86 versus $5.01 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.15 versus $4.86).
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Food & Staples Retailing industry and the overall market, WAL-MART STORES INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

in my opinion a great hostel. Nice outside common area where you easily meet people. Lively at night but nice and calm after 12. Beds could be improved, some are a bit saggy. Otherwise a good balanced hostel. Especially for a solo traveler

This is a party hostel on the party street of Capetown. Expect loud music until early in the morning. Cost of wi fi is 20 rand per day and connection speed is average. Cash only for payment but an ATM on site. Staff did a good job keeping the well worn place clean, a big task after frequent parties. Mr. Bubbles, the hostel cat, kept things chill. Good music mix by the reception desk.

This is a vibrant and busy place where you can meet new people and party all night. This is a party hostel situated in the heart of Long street. As a South African I had to check in with my passport. I reserved a private room but the room was located in a dorm so I had to go into the dorm to get to my room, so ultimately some of the privacy was lost. The hostel had not updated their prices on hostelworld so I was charged more at check. This was not for me and I checked out the next day.

Queer I Stand
I'm Your Worst Nightmare...
The only person with whom I've had any sexual contact in the last four years has been myself. Certainly, from the viewpoint of many Christian sects, that's just as sinful as anything else (and possibly more so), and might from some viewpoints even be considered the gayest thing possible. In the majority of those encounters, I have also not "spilled seed," which is the real "problem" reflected in the prohibitions on these matters in the Jewish and Christian scriptures. No seed, no foul? Probably not in their minds...and yet, this sexual presence in absence, as it were, certainly problematizes the issue, and breaks the stereotypes and expectations that some of these paranoid individuals seem to have about "people like me."
My state of origin and current residence, Washington, had its legislature and governor approve the legality of same-sex marriages recently; but, detractors of this position have collected enough signatures to have it be a referendum issue on this November's ballot. Conservative Christian churches are leading the charge on the repeal of the liberalization of marriage in my state. Luckily, not everyone within Christianity thinks the way they do. And the fact is, there are religions, denominations, churches, and individual ministers who will happily perform same-sex marriages right now, even though they're not legally recognized, all across this state, country, and the wider world. The legality of same-sex marriage cannot force any individual or religious institution to perform such a marriage if they do not feel it meets their standards of sacramentalism. Still, they would bar anyone else's religious beliefs in this regard from being legal, and instead would prefer their own narrow sacramental definitions be the law of the land for everyone. The only thing they have to gain in doing this is the smugness of knowing their own bigotry and fear-mongering has kept a certain group of people in second-class status.
The inability to do that, it seems, is by far the worst nightmare of these individuals.

To help put the Seattle back in Top Chef: Seattle, Voracious is partnering with The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Seattle to provide a local interpretation of the previous night's winning dish. Each week, two chef instructors will choose the best recipe from a pool of student submissions: This week's recipe was created by culinary arts student Aaron Tekulve, who's provided every recipe thus far. "There have been other submissions," The Art Institute's Amy Rocha confirms. " The judges have just preferred Aaron's creativity."
When deep-frying, "how can you go wrong?," last night's challenge winner asked the judges rhetorically. They assured Kristen Kish that even the simplest foods can go horribly awry, which is why her mushrooms and fried onions were so impressive.
Aaron Tekulve avoided the foibles associated with simplicity by creating a far more elaborate dish in homage to Kish's creation. You'll need white wine, shallots, heavy cream and lots of butter.
and Fried Sage
Wild Mushroom Risotto with Brown Butter Fried Shallots and Onions Crumb, Mushroom Demi Glace
Aaron Tekulve
and Fried Sage
Serves 4
Wild Mushroom Risotto:
8 cups Chicken Broth, hot, more as needed if necessary
8 T Plugra Butter
1lb Fresh Wild Mushrooms (Such as: Chanterelles or Porcinis, if neither are available, Crimini mushrooms are the next best option. Large Mushrooms, sliced; small mushrooms, quartered)
1 Shallot, minced
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 T Olive Oil
1 C Vialone Nano (if unavailable Arborio Rice)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 T Lemon Zest
½ C Heavy Cream
Salt to taste
Brown Butter Fried Shallots and Onion Crumb:
4 T Pulgra Butter
2 T Shallot Rings
1 T Yellow Onion, finely minced
½ C Panko Bread Crumbs
½ t Kosher Salt
Mushroom Demi Glace:
1 Gallon High Quality Veal Stock
2 T Pulgra Butter
1 lb Crimini Mushrooms, sliced
1 Yellow Onion, Julienned
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 C Red Wine
8 T Grated Parmesan
Fried Sage:
20 Sage Leaves
4 T Butter
Demi Glace:
The mushroom demi glace can be made a day in advance. Melt butter in a medium to large pot (one that holds at least 6 quarts of liquid), add onions and mushroom and sauté until thoroughly golden brown. Add garlic and sauté until tender. Deglaze with red wine and simmer until reduced down to a tablespoon and then add veal stock. Simmer liquid until reduced by half; strain liquid through chinois, return liquid to pot and continue to reduce until it reaches a nice almost syrup like viscosity should be about one cup. Remove from the heat and reserve.
Wild Mushroom Risotto:
1. In a large sauté pan over medium high heat melt 2 T of the butter. Working in two batches, add half of the mushrooms to the pan, season with salt and pepper and sauté until nice and tender and starting to brown; this should take 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Remove cooked mushrooms, add another 2 T of butter to the pan and sauté and season remaining the mushrooms. Once all mushrooms are cooked reserve a ¼ of them for garnishing.
3. To prepare the risotto first bring chicken broth up to a simmer and keep warm. In a sautoir, melt the remaining 2 T of butter with the 1 T of olive oil of medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic and sweat until tender, 3 to 5 minutes, do not brown.
4. Add white wine to shallots and garlic and stir until the liquid is fully absorbed. Add rice, stir and lightly toast all of the rice grains. Once rice grains are lightly toasted add white wine and stir until it is fully absorbed into the rice. Using a ladle, add approximately 1 C of hot chicken broth at a time stirring until the liquid is almost fully absorbed into the rice. Continue adding broth 1 C of hot broth at a time while constantly stirring allowing the broth to fully absorb into the rice. Repeat this until the risotto is creamy and the rice is tender but is still firm to bite.
5. Finish the risotto by adding the lemon zest and heavy cream adjust seasoning with salt to taste. The risotto should be creamy and loose, if the risotto starts to tighten add a little more hot stock to keep creamy. Fold the reserved ¾ of the mushrooms into the risotto. When the risotto hits the plate it should spread.
Brown Butter Fried Shallots and Onion Crumb:
In a medium sauté pan over medium heat melt the butter and raise it to medium high heat. Once bubbling add shallot rings and onions and sauté until they and the milk solids become golden brown. Add the panko bread crumb and sprinkle with salt. Stir and toss until the bread crumbs are fully coated in butter and golden brown. Remove from heat and reserve.
To Serve:
Heat the reserved ¼ of the mushrooms over medium heat, keep warm.
Between four plates ladle risotto on the center of the plate, sprinkle each plate with 2 T grated Parmesan followed by the ¼ of sautéed mushrooms.
Sauce around the plate and over the mushrooms just a little with the mushroom demi glace about 1-2oz. Demi glace is a very intense sauce so use sparingly, a little goes a long way.
Top with the butter fried shallots and onion crumb and spread 4 - 5 fried sage leaves around the plate.

Dinner with Giorgio, a new friend and Fashion Week
I may be biased but Italians seem to love everything more passionately than any other nation. Fashion and food obviously being their big ones. Being invited to see Milan Fashion Week in action was an invite I just couldn't resist.  PR supremo Warly Tomei, a Brazilian with a heart of gold, enticed me with Roberto Cavalli and Dolce & Gabbana's shows, both of which I knew would be off-the-chart wonderful.
Arriving at the Baglioni Hotel and having left Vivi with her beloved grandparents in the countryside, Giorgio and I dared to be different and slipped into a heavenly courtyard bistro called Bacaro del Sambuco on Via Montenapoleone. Discreet and intimate I felt it was perfect for a clandestine rendezvous! Everything on the menu was light but more importantly, delicious. I left Giorgio to head to the Cavalli HQ for a fitting. I was beyond thrilled and relieved, I admit, that I could get into the dresses (well, a teeny bit snug!) pulled for me by their stylist Gregoire. I also found a new friend, the stunning society blonde with Cara D eyebrows, Ginevra Rossini, 22 years old and with the manners of a true young lady.
With Gregoire for Cavalli fitting
Back to the hotel to have a quick soak and then off to the Hotel Principe de Savoia for an early supper with Giancarlo Giammetti and Valentino and their crew. Giancarlo is still on his world domination tour for his book "Private", and the Editor of Italian Vogue, Franca Sozzani, was hosting him a cocktail party that night for all the great and gorgeous of MFW.
Valentino's dinner was hilariously short and light with the beautiful Charlene Shorto, Afef Jnifen, Naty Abascal, Georgina Brandolini, and a little late, Bianca Brandolini (in runway Dolce & Gabbana spots). All the rest of us in Valentino, of course.
Naty Abascal, me, Giorgio & ValentinoÂ
We headed to the party heavily cordoned off with the largest security where Franca greeted Giancarlo like a star. Anna Wintour arrived and I was a tiny bit in awe.  However my divine friend Gianluca Longo (fabulous stylist) encouraged me to take a photo. She was, contrary to the old wives' tales, friendly and gracious, and my photo of her with Giancarlo was one of my favourites. In one booth the new dandy (after Vogue's Hamish Bowles crown) Derek Blasberg, was courting the beautiful Joan Smalls, Tabitha Simmons and Georgia May Jagger. The most down to earth girl, make-up queen Pat McGrath, arrived in her usual head to toe black, and I have to confess to stealing her to sit with me and Marpessa Hennik (ex supermodel and Dolce & Gabbana muse). There were so many important fashion players that I got a bit lost in a sea of Prosecco on ice. My favourite had to be Anna del Russo, who was wearing a frivolous Hiawathaesque feather headband. Only a true fashionista would dare!

The Cavalli day arrived and they were so worried about us Cavalli "Angels" looking less than perfect that we were collected and dropped at the legendary Aldo Coppola for hair and make-up. Of course, it ran late and Ginevra and I had to race back to the Principe to get ready at break-neck speed.
Arriving at the Arco della Pace was madness the like I have never seen; people everywhere posing in outrageous outfits, bloggers in creations that beggared belief and fashion students swarming the guests holding on to precious tickets!  Once inside I caught my breath – a circle of fire literally around a pool of water. The enormous circus style tent was full to bursting but I was more excited to see the 90's supermodel Nadège, looking fresh and head to toe in Cavalli leather. Cavalli had a heavily Brit front row including Cheryl Cole, Ellie Goulding and the actress Samantha Barks. The show itself was breath-taking with reed-thin models with endless legs stomping past us in wafts of leather and body skimming beaded fringed frocks.  I fell in love with more than one red satin evening dress.
 Me in Milan, wearing Cavalli
That evening we were delivered in another evening dress to their new flagship boutique on Via Montenapoleone. Five floors of Cavalli creations, children's wear, sportswear – you name it, there is a floor for it!
My friend Magda Pozzo and I decided to head to the dinner early and got caught by Roberto at the door. His marvellous bejewelled walking stick was obviously a talking point. The dinner was at one of Milan's most desirable hotspots, Il Salumaio. A very beautiful old Milanese stone walled dining room with luscious full roses in simple vases.  Russian model Irina Shayk one of the Cavalli's favourites was there and both sons, Daniele and Robert, hosted tables.  His wife Eva was an excellent hostess in her de rigeur black evening trouser suit. A beautiful Italian feast followed and even better I was home by midnight.
 Magda Pozzo, myself, & Roberto Cavalli
The following morning I had to pack which was no mean feat as I had gone a little bonkers in the shoe department. Gianvito Rossi being a firm new favourite … oh and some gold lame Dolce & Gabbana slingbacks – irresistible.
Warly collected me and my luggage as we hit first a Franca Sozzani Brunch for a new designer called Erika Cavallini in the most spectacular building called the Circolo della Stampa. Magical and truly only in Italy. Mini smoked salmon bagels were consumed in vast quantities.
Next we did a drive by the Hogan fashion show – there they had the genius idea of having all the models standing as if window mannequins and then doing semi walks, finishing with a mini fashion shoot. All very intriguing.
Hogan models
Lastly, we finally got into Warly's car to go to the Dolce & Gabbana show which I was thoroughly over excited about. Their clothes have become something of a staple in my wardrobe and their heavy Sicilian influence is sexy and feminine.
If I thought it was bonkers elsewhere, this was a zoo. Everywhere you looked there were fabulously dressed girls and boys in creations each crazier than the next. I was, of course, stupidly impressed. The show waited for the actress Monica Belluci to arrive, as she is one of the design duo's muses and then the music began. Words failed me as "Once upon a Time in Sicily" started. The set was a fantasy forest. The girls were all medieval fairytale characters with Little Red Riding featuring heavily. My jaw seriously hit the floor!
 Dolce & Gabbana Show
Model after model came out with the loud classical ballet themed music creating the scene. Reds and purples and deep greens all bejewelled to death.  The finale was literally an army of silver and black girls storming the runway… staggering. Show over we flew backstage, kissed Stefano Gabbana and found Marpessa and David Gandy. Eva Herzigova (in this season's campaign) was there with Bianca Balti – too much beauty in one room. I was in heaven but had a train to catch. In a flurry of heels and Dolce lace I just made it to the train in time for my journey back to the real world.

Yet another gym leader has denied you your gym badge, and you now have to go talk to her superiors to get it.
Now... the elders lurking in Dragon's Den are particularly interesting. They seem to serve some very important purpose to dragon tamers, though it's not /completely/ clear what.

Well since our season is pretty much over, I'd like to make my first mock draft for 2010. Also Free agency.
Logan Mankins- From fresno st, if patriots don't resign him I say he comes here.
Marcus Spears- 3-4 end opposite of smith
pick up a decent RT
1st Round- Anthony Davis- Good tackle that can start from day one at RT
1st Round- Taylor Mays- With Berry gone. Mays is the next best choice. He may no be the best cover safety, but he will lay the lumber and put fear in opposing wideouts. If you really think about it, he is a way better upgrade over michael lewis.(Covers better, faster, and hits hard) Lewis will be done in a year or two. Also, sean taylor wasnt a great cover corner but wideout always checked where he was at.
2nd Round- Jon Asamoah OG-. With Lupati gone well have to go with next best guard.
3rd Round- O'Brien Schofield- Probably best rusher available for 3rd round
4th Round- Jacoby Ford- Finally our return man wishes are answered, fast, and great returner
5th Round- Walter McFadden- Need some CB's
6th Round- Sam Young- you can never have too many lineman
7th Round- Kelton Tindal- project type player was clocked at a 4.28 (johnny knox type of player)
So our depth chart
QB: Alex Smith,
RB: Gore, Coffee,
FB: Norris
TE: Davis, Walker
WR: Crabtree, Hill
WR: Morgan, Jones
SLOT: Ford
LT: Staley, Sims
LG: Mankins, ASAMOAH
C: Heitmann, Wallace
RG: Rachal/Asamoah
RT: Davis/Young/Boone
LDE: Smith, Mcdonald
NT: Franklin, Sopaga
RDE: Spears, Evans,
LOLB: Brooks, Lawson
MILB: Willis
MILB: Spikes
ROLB: Haralson, Shoefield
CB: Clements, Brown
CB: SPencer, Mcfadden,
FS: Goldson, Smith
SS: Mays, Lewis
What do you guys think???
And take it easy it's my first mock draft

In a corner space in Sydney's MLC Centre, Servcorp was founded in 1978 by Alf Moufarrige who like any new business starting out, required office space, a receptionist and secretarial support. He quickly acknowledged that the overheads were eating into his profits so he looked to share the space, share the receptionist, share the costs and reduce the overheads. The idea of Servcorp began!
As Mr. Moufarrige sold one office, he acquired the next. With enthusiasm, passion and clear vision of this new concept, the space quickly grew to one-quarter of a floor with 16 offices.
Today Servcorp is operating in 150 locations in 52 cities and across 21 countries.

Costa Rica's Pacifica Surf Studios Resort Is an Escape for the Adventurous Eco-Tourist
Posted By Lori Zimmer On July 12, 2012 @ 3:54 pm In Architecture,Eco Tourism,Eco Travel,Environment | No Comments
Costa Rica's Pacifica Surf Studios resort is the perfect combination of adventure and eco-tourism. Each of the resort's sustainably-built guest houses overlook the lush tropical landscape of Playa Santa Teresa on the country's southwestern coast. The gorgeous sustainable accommodations are paired with an on-site surfing school, making for a unique opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica while taking on a new challenge.
Pacifica Surf Studios lets guests combine their love of nature and sports amongst an idyllic and serene setting. The surf school covers classes from beginners to experts, giving the unique opportunity to learn from seasoned surf experts [2] in the warm waters of Costa Rica!
The resort has just eight rooms, making for a quiet and private vacation. Each studio is located just steps from the white sandy beaches [3] of Santa Teresa, and the local offers up a private pool for lounging. The rooms each have a large private terrace made from local sustainable wood, with doors that open to the outdoors. The interior of each guest suite is also made from local wood, and every room is infused with ample fresh air and natural lighting.
The on-site bar and pizza shop are located in traditional open-air thatched roof huts [4]. Each is made from dried palm fronds, local wood and bamboo to create an enchanting island setting for enjoying a cool drink after surf class.
A vacation at Pacifica Surf Studios, combined with classes at their Pacifica Surf School, will offer up a memorable vacation for any adventurer who loves the sun, surf and sand [5].

Great job. I remember when you soloed to your first C race win at Wells Ave. You thought you were Mr. Big *****.
Great job. I remember when you soloed to your first C race win at Wells Ave. You thought you were Mr. Big *****.
Heh, yeah. The one thing I am trying to consistently tell myself is not to get cocky because I know there is gonna be a point where I hit a wall where doing that does not work anymore and I would rather be ready to hit that wall then have it come crashing down on me like a ton of bricks.
dnuzzo - fantastic, congratulations!
I am targeting longsjo classic next. Other then that Purgatory and maybe a few other races other then Wells Ave.
Watch out for the old guys in the P/1/2/3. You might be in for a thrashing.
I learned early that old dudes in upper categories are scary.
If any of you see me out there I ride a "white/red/carbon" Venge (Essentially a black and red non-s-works) and ride in a similar black and white kit with a large red "CB" on it.
Driveway 4/5 Speed Loop last night. After my last experience on this course a few weeks ago (boring!) a friend and I planned a move. We broke free with 2.5 laps to go and built up to a 150m-ish gap (guess). Stayed away for a little more than a lap. Of course there was a counter attack as we were caught right before the start of the last lap. We reintegrated back into the peloton but couldn't work our way into the to top 20 by the finish. Very happy we gave it a run rather than sitting in for an otherwise usually non-eventful race. Better to have tried and failed, right? I had a blast in our break but my legs hated me.
Nice work throwing down some aggression. Off the front or off the back isn't a bad way to go. You're right, it's a LOT more fun.
If it's close to the end of the race, try to consider that the point of the catch is as important as the last 200m -- give everything you have to re-integrate into the top 10. You can console your legs later. You probably worked that hard just trying to move back up anyway. This also gives you better value for your attack effort, as the guys you're re-integrating with are a bit gassed from the chase, so you're ahead of all the fresh legs in the back who think they're about to magically transform into Cavendish.
Congrats dnuzz! Good luck in the 3's.
Question for everyone: How many races do you average per year? And how many of those are actually important ones?
Here in Ontario the only races I've really got are 6 one day's and a 3 day stage race, all of them important. Aside from that my team just started a racing series at a speedway we got a hold of which is fun but obviously not important
"You lack motivation because cycling is a stupid sport with no upside that takes way too much time out of your life to be mediocre at." - Racer Ex
every race is important. especially if you're new. you should be learning something each time you pin a number. race as much as you can.

It doesn't mean that you have to try to win every race, it means that you should go out there with a plan or a test or something. When I'm not fit I go out to hang on, to test where I'm at (usually by checking the downloaded data after the ride), and to try and make a contribution to the race (help a teammate/friend etc). When I'm fit I tend to be more active, I experiment with tactics (like I go off the front or lead out or other nonsense), and yet I almost never finish the races with the bunch. I usually do these kinds of things in midweek training races and weekend races where the course and my riding style/profile don't match.
In races where I want a result, usually one of a few races on certain types of courses, my "placing" goal means I ride very differently. Super conservative, huge moves if I think I need to make them, and otherwise wait for a sprint (since that gives me the best chance for a good result).
Every race also gets you a bit more used to the whole process, driving to a race, getting ready, not forgetting the floor pump at home, etc. You learn to deal with an assortment of situations. The Missus commented to me about my gear bag and just how heavy it was. "You have a spare saddle, a couple sets of cleats, and so many tools... the bag weighs like 50 lbs!" I learned the hard way about not having spares, and in fact just learned again last Sunday (I decided not to bring a second bike because it was raining pretty hard and I broke a seatpost bolt a couple laps into the race).
When you do 30-50 races a year it becomes pretty straightforward. I still get the adrenaline bump when I get to a race - my HR rarely drops below 100 bpm even when sitting in the car - but it's not the frantic adrenaline rush, it's more mellow, more under control. I don't like frantic, I don't like rushing, and I used to feel like that for every race.
True, but I meant it in the way of importance to actual meaning such as certain 'training' weekday races as mentioned above compared to others that decide whether you're going to nationals or not. I do have a plan for the team racing series, coach just told me Wednesday to use them to practise positioning and staying at the front, something I struggle with in actual races. I seem to do well in training races but in actual racing I'm terrible, it could be the fact that I have nothing to lose in training or that they're much, much shorter races but whatever it is my coach told me that I have the ability to hang with them, just lack the experience. It just ticks me off how I can't do crap in a race when there's a kid a year younger than me who won battenkill and constantly has incredible results. Waiting (experience) is worse than the actual training itself.
As for spares I have the basics and even wheels but I rarely even need them because I only hang on to the group for a little while, I need a lot more practise just finishing with the pack before anything else right now.. I like the fact that you even get 30-50 races per year, I've got 6 and a stage race. There's a weekday series also but it's far on travel and very tough to make it, plus I don't even think more than 10 people go.
"You lack motivation because cycling is a stupid sport with no upside that takes way too much time out of your life to be mediocre at." - Racer Ex
The Tues Night races I attend near my house have similar stories. A bunch of the strong guys will ride to the race, race, and ride back.
Nothing like some artificially induced weakness to force you to seek shelter. Even blocking out gears could help you gain perspective, like when I couldn't shift into the 53 (cable issue) so I had to race the second half of a flat crit with just a 39T ring.
Tour De Frankenmuth (MI), Cat 5 road race, 2 laps/32 miles total.
Aside from cold temperatures this morning, it was a perfect day for racing. Good course, excellent pavement, minimal wind, etc. We had a full field of 50 in the Cat 5s this morning. My plan was to find a wheel that looked strong and smooth, and stay on it the whole race. Six miles in and things were going perfectly. I'd done absolutely no work, my HR was like it was a casual coffee ride, and my legs felt plenty strong. Confident that I would have my best ever finish.
And then disaster. A couple of riders two wheels in front of me got too close, panicked and went down. I was very close to clearing the wreckage when somebody else went down and took out my front wheel. Minimal damage to my body, but my bars got torqued out of alignment, RD hanger was bent, and the front wheel was knocked out of true. Race over. I was pretty upset because I've never felt that good during a race.
All things considered though, it could have been much worse. Heard rumors that one of the guys who went down ended up with a broken collarbone, and the guy who took me out had snapped his seat and chain stays clean in half. My bike and I live to race another day.
-brought the trainer and floor pump
-had a decent 25 minute warm up on the trainer
-arrived with plenty of time and felt fairly relaxed
-raced in the rain
At first I got dropped by the group as I have this habit of starting in the back of the group and not being ready for the initial surge. My legs didn't feel awake at first despite the quick warmup as this past week was kind of a R&R week. The initial surge came on the front stretch into a gnarly headwind. I didn't really understand how to take a free lap so I spent the next 5-10 laps working on my own in the wind until the group finally lapped me and I assimilated in. From that point, I was feeling successful with my ability to be smooth, anticipating group movement, making moves up, and being mindful of my cornering technique. With 5 to go, I was second with a small gap behind me, and I launched an attack into the headwind stretch. I made good on that for 2 laps, but the wind was just too much to for one person. I rolled with the group until the end where everyone who still had energy left made their last sprints to the line as I sat up and rolled in.
Leaving each race wanting more.
You can't take a free lap if you get dropped.
Read the rulebook.
If you get lapped and the officials are nice enough to let you stay in, don't pull a stunt like that. Stay in the field, don't go with any breaks, just roll over the line at the end.
Tour de Frankenmuth this morning. Cat 5 road race. 32 miles.
Second ever road race. Got to the start line late and was dead last. Easy rollout. First corner. Had to sprint after to catch up. Dealt with the rubber banding effect at the back all race long. Had trouble moving up. 50 riders on narrow road with narrow lanes. So congested. There were either not very many opportunities to move up...or my lack of experience made me unaware of the opportunities that were there. I tried just blasting past people out of frustration once...passed a dozen or more riders. But I was out in the wind all by myself. Felt my strength start to wane, so I let riders pass until I could squeeze in behind a wheel...probably only 2 places above where i started. Fail.
Four major wrecks in the cat 5 race. I was bonkers. All of them happened no more than 6 bikes in front of me. Avoided them all...two of them only just barely. One of them, I locked up my wheels and was skidding towards them but skidded just by one of the falling bikes. And avoided tipping over while my bike fishtailed for a sec.
Coming around the last corner before a short straight to the finish, I was at the back of the lead group again. In that corner, another crash that took out at least one other rider. Myself and a couple others were slowed through the corner as a result and the group up front lost us. So I wasn't part of the final sprint. Out sprinted all but one rider near me in a half hearted seated sprint effort.
19th out of 50. All in all, a resounding success as I avoided crashing. Aside from the four crashes in my cat 5 race, we heard about all sorts of crashes in a bunch of the other races. And one of the higher cats going by while I was chatting with friends had a major bike flipping, human flying wreck. Just nuts. I think the course was just too crowded and certain sections too fast.

I was supposed to do a team ride today, but for various and sundry reasons there was no team ride, so I did a "Race Winning Effort" workout from Training and Racing with a Power Meter. It called for five to eight reps, and I was happy to call it good after five. Actually, I almost hung it up after the first one, but decided to try the second and it wasn't quite as bad. I'm a tired puppy! 2:45, TSS 208, IF .87. IF for the peak hour was 1.02. This is my highest TSS since I started back after the crash.
Demain, on roule!
Sara - It sure feels good to get back into the swing of things. I'm thinking about asking my coach if we need to bump up my training zones, but I'm afraid she'll agree!
valygrl - I completely understand about the love/hate thing. It's like hitting yourself in the head with a brick, because it feels so good when you stop.
I went in the other direction today - 1:26 at recovery pace, TSS 25.5, IF .42, average HR 93 bpm, AP 91 watts. Being that lazy felt great!
Demain, on roule!
Rode 11 miles to go do hill repeats.
5 x 5:30 @ 110% with 3 min RBI
1 x 4:40 @ 103%
Limp 11 miles home
33 miles; 3200' gain ~2hr
30 min interval in the Hot Tub. Someone kicked my arse.
The way the cards fell, I was off the bike for two days. That actually was kind of nice! It allowed all sorts of things to heal.
The TSS said short training ride yesterday on the TT bike. I had made changes, minor, to the setup at Ex's direction. I moved the elbow pads in as far as they would go, plus I did some small changes to the saddle height and position. I could immediately feel a change in wind resistance, for the better. However, my head is just enough lower to where my glasses frame was right in the way, causing me to tilt my head further up than I'm used to. I don't know if that or the closer in pads caused me the achy shoulders, but something did. I also have more weight on the front wheel, so the bike is slightly squirrelier. Another ride today, at higher power, and I'll wear my TT helmet (which I don't do in training rides) to see what's up with my shoulders and vision.
My July racing month is pretty sparse. Two crits that I really wanted to do were cancelled. There is only one race on tap, at the end of the month, and it's a crit. There is a crit the second week of July that I had considered, but it's an open field, and I really don't feel like getting beat up by a bunch of 1's and 2's and then getting spit out the back three laps in. I have been in good races, and that wouldn't be. Pass.
Racer Ex..."Don't know if the shop is under new ownership. If not feel free to shoplift stuff and break bottles in his parking lot."
1:28 at endurance pace with 6x2' VO2 max intervals. Ouch, just effin' ouch. I did these after work, and am riding tomorrow before work, so that ought to feel great. TSS 120, IF .91, 895 kj.
I have my Peak Power chart in Training Peaks set up to show two lines - the last year's data and the last two weeks' data. Since I've been doing 60, 90 and 120 second intervals in the last week, those two lines now overlap from 60-120 seconds. Beyond those times, the lines are reasonably close. At <60 seconds, though, there's still a pretty good gap.
Demain, on roule!
Two rides yesterday with the second one being a failed attempt at some longer intervals.
Ride 1; 50 min at dinner of just tempo IF 0.88 TSS 54
Ride 2; after work. #EpicFailIntervals then tempo work. IF 0.86 TSS 188
9 min @ 94%
8 min @ 102%
4:30 @ 100%
5 min RBI
After the TT championships over the weekend, I returned this evening to the gym for more upper body and core weight work in addition to my daily foam roller and stretching workout.

Hermes, you are amazing!
I did a recovery ride today, and messed it up. I was frustrated, couldn't hold it in, and JUST DRILLED IT for about a quarter mile and drove my TSS way up. I sure felt better when I was done, though.
Racer Ex..."Don't know if the shop is under new ownership. If not feel free to shoplift stuff and break bottles in his parking lot."
I am going to race tonight. Local crit. First time back on the bike in a week.
Hey, frustration makes us all do stuff like that. After testing my health the past two days and concluding that it isn't that good, it's recovery for a bit and then back to build. Should I have tested myself at this point? The smart opinion would be "no way". But I'm not always smart. I'm not hurt enough to prevent trying.
Tapering this week for the stage race this weekend. For the first time, I pushed back on the scheduled workouts, thinking that they were too easy (one day at endurance pace for 1:15, the rest of the week either one hour at recovery or off). Coach said that she wanted my TSB to get close to zero. She's the expert, so I'm going with it. It still feels funny resting that much.
Demain, on roule!
~2 hrs last night working on learning how to pedal with the last half of the ride at an avg cadence of 102 in the middle of Z2.
Supposed to do a bunch of above threshold stuff tonight.
This was MUCH easier when I had a lower FTP number set...

Interview: John Edmonds: "We're Going Back to Being Trade Unionists." and There Will Be Trouble If the Politicians Don't Take Note
Richards, Steve, New Statesman (1996)
If the mood of John Edmonds is anything to go by, next week's TUC conference in Blackpool will have more political spice than in recent years. Ministers will be greeted warmly, certainly, but there will be palpable tensions.
Edmonds, who is president of the TUC this year as well as being general secretary of the GMB, the third largest union, personifies this ambiguity. His tone, bombastic on the conference platform, is conciliatory and reflective in conversation and yet by the end of the interview he has declared his opposition to most aspects of government economic policy, warned that ministers' approach to public sector pay is heading for a bloody finale reminiscent of a Greek tragedy, and has blown apart traditional perceptions of Messrs Blair, Brown and Mandelson.
This is softly spoken conversation with a hard edge.
His first answer to a general question about relations between trade unions and government is a good example. Edmonds wants to be upbeat, so he praises the access he and other trade-union leaders enjoy. But there is a caveat: at times there seems little point in meeting because there is no hope of persuading them to change course.
"Contrary to the ill-informed press comment we have regular meetings with the Prime Minister. The access is very good. And of course we meet other senior ministers regularly as well. But my impression is that, in a way which is unusual in British politics, this is a government absolutely determined to fulfil its manifesto in a very precise way. So trying to change policy in all those areas included in the manifesto is a waste of time and energy."
Such as? "The undertaking about income tax is a good example. Many of us believe that the refusal to put up income tax for high earners was a bad mistake, forcing the government away from fiscal measures and placing a higher priority on interest rates, what John Smith called a one-club policy. It's a very big mistake, but in a sense there's no point arguing about it because it's clear-cut and is not going to be amended, however compelling the economic arguments."
These exchanges are also clouded by ministerial suspicion about the motives of the trade-union leaders, according to Edmonds. They are there as representatives of the workforce, he insists, with no wider agenda. "We have real difficulty convincing senior ministers that what we care about is the workplace. They see us most of the time in the context of our relationship to the Labour Party and within the party. They are afraid that we are playing politics all the time behind the scenes, but we're actually straight and up front."
But however much the unions' formal ties with the Labour Party complicate their dealings with the government, Edmonds remains committed to the link. "I strongly oppose severing the link as it would mean the creation of a new political party."
This seemed a curious response, since the architects of new Labour have argued openly that they have created a new political party. "Well, they're wrong. I meet party members and see how they vote in NEC elections and so on. It's difficult to sustain that argument if you're talking about the membership at large where the instincts and values are very much the same as they've always been."
And the unions still hold 50 per cent of the votes at the party conference, which, Edmonds insists, works to the party leadership's advantage. In making this point, he underlines the current strategy of the TUC, which is to be largely supportive of the government in the hope that when dissent is expressed ministers act. "Our 50 per cent vote is still a powerful weapon and no one should underestimate its usefulness to the leadership. We work to an unwritten code, if you like, that we underplay our power and that our first instinct is to support the leadership. We know the damage caused by divisions.
"So for trade unions in a concerted way to oppose the leadership is a very, very important signal. …

We are family
One casually debauched Sunday morning as an undergrad in Missoula, Mont., a few chums and I headed to the neighborhood casino for an eye-opener and machine poker.
We are family
*See Also: Attempting to Steal Six-Pack of Olde English, Suspects Accused of Beating Clerk with Ukulele
One of us hit his straight and cashed out with enough to treat everyone to a few 40s of Olde English, and we repaired back to our rental house to drink them on the lawn. We all had the beer on ice, polishing off the bottles far too fast. A fist fight broke out, and I passed out at 5.
And that is how stories involving malt liquor go.
The name "malt liquor" itself came about in a post-Prohibition America still weary of beer that rose above 5 to 7 percent alcohol, depending on the state. Basically heavy lagers, these beers were confined to liquor stores. And while there have always been breweries that take the genre seriously (Carlsberg's Elephant Malt Liquor being the standby example of this), once we as a nation loosened up and allowed the stuff in gas stations, it was inevitable that the sickly sweet brew that drank like a punch in the face would be confined to frat houses and highway underpasses.
In no way, under any circumstance, will Full Sail's Big Daddy J's Malt Liquor change this reality. Still, with the style entirely commoditized - every malt liquor option at the gas station rang in at $1.99; it might as well have been gasoline itself - it's fun to see what a skilled brewer can do with a heavy lager.
And this is the work of a brewer, Jason Muñoz, who produced Big Daddy J's under Full Sail's Brewer's Share program. The program was designed originally to allow each brewer at Full Sail to "express their creations to be shared on tap exclusively in our pub," according to the brewery. But they are now bottling some of the fruits, meaning you can relive those pukey college days while holding a respectable label in your hand. I found my bottle at Bottleworks on 45th.
In order to keep my palate grounded, I drank the Big Daddy beside two offerings from the Shell station up the road. I opted for a $1.99 tall boy of Olde English and a $1.99 tall boy of Steel Reserve to sip on.
Hardly a gimmick of naming, Full Sail's malt liquor shares plenty of qualities to the gas station fare, from the brass coloring of Beastie Boy fame to the general shape of the beer. Most importantly, all three beers are winey; the light body can't cover up all that alcohol, so I tasted it instead.
But to Muñoz's credit, the Big Daddy does drink in many ways like a craft beer. While his beer starts out so light that one might think it's a Budweiser, a rich flavor blooms in the aftertaste, showing its pedigree. To further distance it from OE and Steel, I should state flat out: It doesn't taste like ass, or make you feel like ass. It's simply a well-done lager that brings more to the table than is typical for that style.
Still, the style itself may be severely - if not fatally - flawed. The strong presence of alcohol in the flavor will always be off-putting, and it seem unavoidable when dealing with a style that tries to be both light and alcoholic.
Full Sail acknowleges how odd it looks for its label to carry a malt liquor. On the bottle itself, they say they asked Muñoz what he was thinking when proposing the beer.
"I wanted this beer to celebrate the inner college student in everyone..." he's quoted as saying.
Well then, let's make it a 40, and see you at the casino.

The Harry Potter author says she loves Scotland and wants her adopted country to thrive - which she thinks it will within the UK.
12:29, UK, Wednesday 11 June 2014
JK Rowling has given £1m to the Better Together campaign to keep Scotland in the United Kingdom.
The Harry Potter author, who lives in Edinburgh, revealed her views in a long blog post she said she had written after listening to months of arguments and counter-arguments.
The author wrote that she accepted she might not be Scottish enough to have a valid view in some extreme nationalists' eyes but insisted: "I've lived in Scotland for 21 years and plan to remain here for the rest of my life.
"By residence, marriage, and out of gratitude for what this country has given me, my allegiance is wholly to Scotland."
While she was "no fan of the current Westminster Government", she had concerns about the economic risks of independence, she explained, worrying that independence carried "serious risks".
She continued: "My hesitance at embracing independence has nothing to do with lack of belief in Scotland's remarkable people or its achievements.
"The simple truth is that Scotland is subject to the same 21st century pressures as the rest of the world.
"It must compete in the same global markets, defend itself from the same threats and navigate what still feels like a fragile economic recovery.
"The more I listen to the 'Yes' campaign, the more I worry about its minimisation and even denial of risks."
Ms Rowling explained why she wanted to write about her decision and her donation.
"I wanted to write this because I always prefer to explain in my own words why I am supporting a cause and it will be made public shortly that I've made a substantial donation to the Better Together campaign, which advocates keeping Scotland part of the United Kingdom," she said.
The author's donation to the 'No' campaign may be large, but it is less than the amount donated by lottery winners Colin and Chris Weir - who have reportedly contributed nearly 80% of the money that funds the 'Yes' campaign.
The couple, who won £161m in the EuroMillions lottery in 2011, have given £3.5m in total to the Yes Scotland campaign.

I am uncircumcised and I was wondering, there isn't anyway that if you have intercourse that sperm won't come out while inside of her unless you reach orgasm right? Like if I'm having sex with a girl and I'm not using a condom there's no way that anything could seep out without reaching a orgasm. Just want to make sure, because condoms don't feel the best when having intercourse.
I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about 8 months now, I had totally forgotten to take my birth control pill from Day 13-now. To be honest with you I noticed this when I was supposed to be on Day 20 after having unprotected sex with my husband on Day 20 and again on Day 26. When would be a good time for me to test for pregnancy? I tested Tuesday and yesterday and they were both negative, but I am not too sure if I tested too early. I should be on my period since Wednesday the 26th but so far today is the third day that AF is a no show (although I have really bad cramping), and I know I might still get it tomorrow since that is still part of the menstrual days. I would really like your opinion on this matter.
I am a virgin, but my boyfriend has had sex before. I am positive that I am ready to have sex with him and we have attempted to do so three times already. The problem is that is causes me excruciating pain. I understand for most girls it causes some pain, but this pain is unbearable and I haven't been able to go through with it. When he fingers me he can fit 3 fingers in so I don't see what the problem is. We take our time and don't just skip right to sex. What should I do?
I've looked all over the internet: so far nothing has given me a straight answer. I don't have money for a pregnancy test and I don't have time to go to a doctor. About two weeks after my last period I had sex with my boyfriend and used a condom. Afterwards he told me that he thought some semen had come out the bottom. What is the possibility of me being pregnant and is abortion the only option? I can't have my parents find out but I can't be pregnant.
Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex on the second to last day of my period, we thought this would be safe as it is highly unlikely to become pregnant at that time. I am now 8 days late, and never usually late, but have been experiencing abdominal cramps for about 4 days on and off as though my period is going to start. Could I be pregnant?
Hi, I really need some help. Let me tell you what has happened. I'm 15 years old. My periods usually come anywhere from the 12th-to the 15th of the month. One night, I had anal sex, unprotected, but I didn't orgasm. When I had anal sex, it was two weeks after my period had ended. The next month, last month, My period came on the 19th. Is that normal? Is it just because I had sex? Could I be pregnant? Please help. If you think I might be pregnant, could you give me some self-abort advice, I can NOT tell my mother, and I have no way of getting a pregnancy test. Please please help me.
My boyfriend and I had sex without a condom 2 times and when he cummed in me the first time I thought I was pregnant and I took a test and it said positive and I took another one of a different brand and it said negative so I didn't worry about it the second time he cummed in me I got my period the next day could I be pregnant now?
This question isn't about a sexual issue, but I was hoping you could help me anyway. I've been going out with this guy for about 4 months now, and I'm getting a bit antsy. We're both really busy with college and work, and we find it quite hard to organize dates and so on (we don't go to the same college). Neither of us has invested a whole lot into this relationship, if you can call it one, but that's fine with me at the moment. So that isn't the problem. The one thing that's bothering me is that I'm getting the impression that I 'like' him more than he does me. At least emotionally. Physically, there aren't any issues. But I don't think I want to be in any sort of one-sided relationship. This is the first guy I've ever been with, and I like him a lot, so I really don't know how to approach this. Should I talk to him about it, or just let things go on as they are and see how they work out? Am I being completely neurotic?
Recently, the cost of hormonal forms of birth control such as the pill and the patch, among others, have skyrocketed. At least if you're buying them from a campus health clinic. Up until this year, pharmaceutical companies gave colleges deep discounts on contraception. Time Magazine explains why costs have gone up so much and The Chicago Sun-Times gives an example of the consequences.Read more...
I have been sexually active for about 3 months now. Usually before sex, my partner and I have a few minutes of unprotected sex and then he puts a condom on. My period is now a week late and I'm worried. I already took a test that came out negative but I'm still kinda scared. My friend told me that it's usual for my period to not come when first having sex. Is this true or should I wait a little while and retake a test?

Some boaters in the small village of Atlantic say their craft are dragging the bottom as they try to get to fishing and shrimping grounds through a silt-clogged channel.
Phillip Mason says fishermen have waded through to mark spots for boats needing at least three feet of water to avoid running aground. Mason is a part-time commercial fisherman who docks his 43-foot boat in Atlantic.
About 30 boats use the harbor.
Mason says a dredging project to open the channel was done in an area that didn't need it.
An official has said the entire channel needs to be dredged. The project is on hold while officials find a place to dump material removed from the channel.
The erosion along Core Sound in Carteret County was caused by storms that washed away shoreline protecting the channel.

She just says "momma my tooht is gone" I look and all you see is the root deep in her gum! How does this happen?????? She brushes every day, ONLY drinks water and an occasional cup of juice or milk, and NEVER gets candy or sweets unless its a special occasion.She also eats good protein and veggies. Dh seems to think that because she is so skinny/underweight and doesn't eat enough she may not have enough vitamin d. I am making a dentist app first thing in the morning but gosh I am so nervous for her. What will they do??? Pull that part out? I am so embarrassed ugh!
OMG! DD's tooth rotted out
WOHMommy to M (15) and A(11)
Oh momma - I'm sorry. I have a lot of dental work ahead of me with one of my kids and he's your daughter's age.
Sometimes teeth are more susceptible to bacteria and therefore cavities/tooth rotting, etc.
I would call the dentist asap as an open tooth like that is a freeway to infection.
I never return my shopping carts.................
Which tooth is it? Could have it just been a baby tooth that was ready to come out? My ds lost his first tooth at 6yo.
If the tooth had rotted out, I would think she would have felt pain before it actually fell out.
Has she ever been to the dentist before? My ds is 7yo and I still brush his teeth after he does it. Our dentist said that they can start learning to brush their teeth effectively when they are able to tie shoes. So I think my ds could brush his teeth well, if he wanted to. But he doesn't care.
Yikes! Good luck at the dentist tomorrow!
* Please excuse typos/errors. I'm on my phone. =)
DS- 7.5 years ~ DD 4.5 years ~ DS ~2 years
Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
Pee on it and walk away.
Did you call the dentist yet? Hope they can squeeze her in today!
Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
Pee on it and walk away.
Don't spend time worrying that it was your fault. You don't have all the facts yet. Some people have little or no enamel on their teeth and they are simply prone to tooth issues no matter how careful they are. Its great that she noticed and now you have a dentist appointment to get to the root of the problem. Ugh, bad pun. Seriously, though, the good thing is that you know about the problem and can now take care of it. If the tooth is infected, though, your dentist will pull it rather than let the infection stay in her mouth. That will not only risk other teeth, but it will be detrimental to full body health. The sooner an infection is removed and delt with the better. That is why you should not tear at yourself about this. You caught it and that is good news.

Suscipio domus erudio
I agree with mainegirl&3roses.
When was the last time she went to the dentist?
My DD has 'soft' teeth too and is prone to cavities as well. I also have to brush her teeth (or at least supervise.)
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost
Are you sure it rotted out and didnt fall out? my dd is 6 and has lost 5 or 6 teeth already. When she looses one you can usually see some root lookign stuff left and it usually goes away in a few days.
Sherri mommy to:
Madison 6-13-03
Gaberiel 9-14-04
Honestly - if it rotted out from bad brushing/cavities she would have been in pain. You would have know. It sounds like she knocked it pretty bad and nobody knew. Dont beat yourself up - just go to the dentist and get it taken care of. I had to have one of DDs teeth pulled when she was 5 because of the same reason - she fell and smacked her chin on the counter like 6 months before.
WAIT!!! Seriously...unless your child has a defect and illness the enamel is most likely the same as everyone else! So a medical condition or medicine could cause the enamel to not be there but otherwise...NO NO NO... enamel is the same for everyone.

how on earth do you do the circles~!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Start with a square canvas reasonable size, bout say 500 X 500 min higher always better. Then basically draw some lines or squares and finally hit polar co-ords to loop it. I use photoshop so not sure if other programs have similar functions and if they do whether they have the same name or not.

"When I ordered these for my daughters bridal shower,I didn't realize the candle came with it.to my surprise it was. The print came out fantastic and I feel this was a great deal."
Great for the Cost 5
julie (Elizabethtown, KY), 7/26/2015
"I gave this 5 stars because they are good quality for the price. I ordered 150 as wedding favors. They were packed well and intact when they arrived. The candles aren't scented, but I figure they're more for decoration/souvenir than for actually burning. But the wax pops right out, so you can put in your own scented/colored candles. The only problem was they shipped in packages of 24, so there were 6 packed separately - these six had letter marks on them where they didn't belong. Like maybe they had been up against another votive and the ink was still wet. The optional boxes and bows were nice, but the bows were wrinkled and didn't end up looking as good as expected. Overall though, happy with what I got for the money."
Votive Candle 5
Joyce (Lanham, MD), 5/1/2015
"Perfect. Beautiful votive more than I expected. I order this item for my daughter wedding which is scheduled for August 22, 2015. I had it personalized with double hearts and their name and date on the votive. The package was packed very well, no items was broken. I also ordered the box with bow for the votive. This is so cute and will make my daughter wedding even more fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone that looking for a special wedding favor. Love it!"

A great service 5
Pankaj (East Windsor, NJ), 1/5/2014
"I was late on placing my order. I placed the order about 7 business days before my event and I wasn't sure I was ever going to receive it on time. The folks at FavorFavor promised me and they delivered. Every other website was demanding a $50 to $80 surcharge since they may have to open the printing machine over the weekend. None of that at FavorFavor. Not only that, I made a mistake on my printing text, and upon a call FavorFavor rectified that (which I only found out after the delivery). The product itself was very neat. I could use it as a shotglass (which I am, in my bar) or as a candle stand (which my wife is using). The quality itself was surprisingly amazing. They may sound cheap while placing the order but the product looks classy. FavorFavor is my company for life. Thank you Team."
Excellent Customer Service 5
Lorraine (Ooltewah, TN), 11/15/2013
"I decided to have votive candle favors at my son's rehearsal dinner a little late, but I called FavorFavor and explained the situation and they were able to get them to me in great timing. The votives were perfect and I was more than pleased with the quality and the service. Will use them again!"

I need some help adding some items to a
combBox.So,I have two comboboxes,one
combobox populates the other depending on the item selected.
My question is that,using
additem for new items,it works,but if i choose another option for the
combobox, it adds the new items but the previous items are gone,and there are blank items below the new ones.
I thought each time i choose a new option from the first
combobox,to clear the contents of the second
combobox,i used the
clear() on the second,but it didn't work.
That's how I thought of it :
for index,i in enumerate(list1):
self.comboBox_2.setItemText(index+2, QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog", i, None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
The above is part of a function that executes when the first
combobox changes.

About Me Trendy Style
Comments about Napoleon Perdis Loose Eye Dust:
The quality is amazing and the colors are beautiful. The trick to getting the glitter to stay on your lids is to use eyelash glue or glitter makeup glue. You can also use this in your hair by spritzing your hair with water or a little hair spray sprinkle a little in your hand and blow into your hair. This product is great for a night out on the town or a holiday event. I get so many compliments when I use this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Classic Style
This eye dust of glitter is beautiful. I have done my research and in order for it to stay on your eye lids you must use either eyelash glue or glitter glue sold by too faced. Apply glue to your lids and press the glitter in with finger tips or an eyeshadow brush. You can also spray hair with water or hairspray and blow the glitter in your hair, It is great for a night out on the town or very festive for a holiday event.

Loose Eye Dust
By Cindyloo
from Brentwood, TN
I was so excited when I first found this dust. It is available in such a wide array of colors! But I was disappointed overall. I found it hard to apply...even with using a priner...and then it didn't stay on very long. Ended up falling off my eyes, and onto my cheeks, etc. I still try this again from time to time, as I do love the colors. Just wish it "stuck" better!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Even if you don't have naturally thick hair, you can still get bouncy, voluminous locks. Kerastase's high-foaming shampoo is designed specficially for ladies with long, fine hair. In the shower, it turns into a mousse-like lather thanks to an infusion of oxygen and pumps volume into even the wispiest of strands. The result? Flowing tresses with plenty of shine.
I don't understand why I received this as a sample? It's for fine hair but I have really thick hair, first off. Secondly, the packaging was cute but difficult to open. And I wasn't crazy about the scent; it was kinda like medicine. I do love this brand & I've actually purchased a hair mask from Kerastase through Birchbox that I LOVE..but this particular shampoo just isn't for me.2
