2013 will not be the year of the mobile wallet.
I received a note from a payments industry expert the other day, discussing hot topics for 2013. Ben Saren, vice president of marketing at payment processor Litle & Co., caught my attention on the subject of mobile wallets and mobile payments. He did not hold back. Here is what he had to say.
"People are never going to switch to mobile wallets as long as it's just as easy to pull out a credit card as it is to pull out your phone. There's no incentive to change the channel," Saren says. "Recent industry buzz would suggest that mobile payments and mobile wallet technologies are suddenly arriving on the scene. That is just not the case. This stuff has been around for a while. The problem is that no one has made the first move. Everyone is waiting on everyone else. Merchants are waiting for consumer adoption. Consumers are waiting for merchants to make the stuff available. Manufacturers are waiting for merchants to request the technology. And around we go."
Saren points to the high level of performance of the credit card networks as a primary hurdle for mobile payments.
"Consumers are not asking for this. We take for granted how easily and quickly we can pay for something with a piece of plastic," he says. "Love or hate the card networks, they have paved all of the highways and largely made them traffic-free. When you go to a retail location and buy something with a piece of plastic, the authorization happens in less than a second. That is absolutely outstanding. And in most cases, merchants see the settlement a mere hour later. So somebody needs to tell me how the system is broken today and why we need something else. I just don't see it. This one is not clicking for me, and I'm in the business."
Credit cards really are the culprit behind the lack of interest in mobile wallets and mobile payments. (Mind you, mobile payments in the form of consumers paying with credit and debit cards on m-commerce sites and mobile apps are doing just fine.) Mobile wallets today are not a better mousetrap, though to be fair, they are connected to the Internet in ways cards are not and can thus afford access to loyalty accounts and coupons.
When Near Field Communication, or NFC, wireless technology becomes prevalent on smartphones and cash registers enabling quick tap-and-go transactions, then maybe a better case can be made for mobile wallets. But even then, I doubt that will be any quicker than swiping a card. You'll still have to get your phone out of your pocket and turn it on, and perhaps launch an app.
Somewhere down the line, way down the line, I think making payments via smartphones will catch on, simply because of the central role smartphones are coming to have in people's lives. But that day will not come anytime soon due to a variety of hurdles, credit cards being perhaps the biggest. So beware the hype.

I Want Another One!!!I want another one , but this one is so good that I don't need another one. I bought this dryer about nine months ago after my Rusk Dryer died, I have had some good blowdryers in my day, but next to my SuperSalono Turbo, this is THE BEST. I am a hairstylist, and I have recommended this to alot of hairstylist friends that used CHI dryers and they switched and are very happy with there choice. Life is good. I would definately recommend this dryer to everyone.Oct 13, 2011Mary / FloridaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Please Read!!!This blow drier, in short words....IT SUCKS!! it's a rip off and basically don't buy it. I used it for 15 minutes and then i had to leave my hair half dry half wet because when i was about to finish it only threw cold air. I was very disapointed and i honestly thought better of this page (folica) to have working product to sale.Oct 12, 2011JennifferHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair

Loving My New Hair Dryer In Classy WhiteI have two of the Elchim 2001 Professional Hair Dryer (Elchim Classic) in Black and just purchased another Elchim in White. Loving the WHITE! The Elchim is an awesome dryer. I keep a hair dryer in my bathroom, upstairs for guest, the ranch house and I'm considering buying another for the horse trailer. Got to have my Elchim! No matter what kind of hair you have long, short, straight or curly Elchim has a dryer for you. I always get that professional look. Thanks to Folica for making it more affordable.Sep 21, 2011Donna J. / Bryan

Amazing!My stylist uses this dryer and I kept swearing I would buy one, but I had spent almost $200 on a T3. This dryer completely outdoes the T3 and is worth every penny! Blows a significant amount of air without getting too hot. I have really long, thick hair and this helps me dry it in 5-10 minutes.Sep 20, 2011Ellen / TexasHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Best Professional Blow DryerThis is the best there is. Don't look any further. I have tried others and they just don't deliver the same kind of power and heat. Just be prepared to replace the elchim every 2-3 years because it doesn't last. The power goes out. That's probably why it only comes with a 1-year warranty.
That being said, it's still the best blow dryer and I still recommend it.Sep 18, 2011NelsHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Elchim ClassicI bought this dryer recently when I mistakenly thought my Super Solano had died, and used it a couple of times to see if it was worth keeping as a backup. It dries as well as the Solano and feels to be about the same weight (I'm used to it). I prefer using the Elchim now because the cord is straight and doesn't kink up on itself. Good product, would recommend.Sep 8, 2011BarbaraHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

Really Feels Like A Salon Dryer But Too Powerful For Fine Hair.I found it to have a very smooth sounding motor and a nice hum even on high setting it was quiet. However, too powerful for fine silky hair and left my hair in a tangled mess which took it even longer to dry...Such a shame as it has a nice grip on the handles for my small hands. Not suitable for Asian fine silky hair. Looking for a ceramic tourmaline hair dryer instead.Aug 21, 2011Lin / NYCHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Broke After About 30 UsesI bought this dryer June 15 and use it about 3 times a week on average. We've travelled twice since then, and I don't take the dryer with me because I'd heard of it having cord problems and didn't want to provide any additional wear on the cord by winding it up for packing. So basically, I've used it less than 30 times so far and today, the heating element has died. Since it's over two months old, my only recourse is to ship it off to Florida (I have to pack it up and pay for the shipping) and send a $10 check to them so they will return it and ship it back to me. Why should I have to pay to repair a faulty product that can't even stand up to one month's (if I were using it daily) operation without breaking. I am insensed that I have to pay for their defective product and I want you folks to be warned that if you purchase this dryer and it happens to you, you will be facing the same hassle. Sucks to pay this much for a hair dryer that they won't stand behind. Buyer beware!Aug 19, 2011Carolann W.

Best Hairdryer Out There!I have used elchim hairdryers for over 10 years and I love them. Especially the 2001 model. Briefly I tried T3 hairdryers when my 1st elchim FINALLY broke down. They were more expensive and didn't even last a year! I am now back to the elchim 2001 and will never use anything else. I also use it on my daughters' hair (they have lots of it!) I plan on buying one as a gift for my mom as well!!!!Aug 18, 2011LisaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Oily Hair / Color Treated Hair

So good to see it get some action.
I have a complicated relationship with gyokuro, as I tend to prefer the lighter sweeter asamushi senchas to the fukamushi, and the two gyokuros I've tried have not been favorites. It seems like there are two possible explanations: one is that I really prefer the lighter teas with less umami, and the other is that I haven't tried really high quality versions yet.
Until I figure it out definitively, my shibo will mostly be used for Chinese greens.

Comments: I own a 2500 size of this reel. I absolutely loved it. I've caught numerous 7+ lb bass on it. I have even caught a 26lb striper at lake mohave. The reel held up amazing. But after 6 months the gears started to get super rough no matter how much grease or butter i put on it. Just a few days ago it broke. I tried to take it apart and clean it and fix it. won't go back together and can only cranks the handle halfway now. Super bummed. was my favorite reel. Hope shimano can fix this issue.
From: Caden: San Diego, CA 6/26/16
Comments: Owned the 3000 size for about 6 months now. Smooth drag and plenty of power. Not a fan of the curado at all but I've enjoyed this reel. On a 7' Medium Abu Garcia Volatile rod with 30# braid and 10# leader. Used for shaky head & light inshore fishing. A solid reel for $100.
From: Connor: USA 12/8/15
Comments: just got this reel a week ago tested it at a few local ponds. I could feel the tiniest of nibbles paired up with a 7'2" medium heavy extra fast compre drop shot rod. Really excited to try it out walleye fishing this weekend.
From: Corey: Toronto, Ontario 5/6/15
Comments: I have owned several of 2500 models for more than 10 years. They've performed well hauling pigs out from under docks. With 20lb braid they always gave me rock solid hook sets with a dependable drag. I was always content with the quality of the reels, but even the older models are knuckle busters. For ten years I'd wished I had bought the 3500 model for the extra finger room, but the larger model would have been too large for the 6' and 6'6" rods that I have them paired with. I recently switched them out for the Ardent Bolt. Much more knuckle room, even on the 2000 model.
From: John: NY 3/10/15
Comments: got this reel in the 3500 size and it all around a good reel. I put 20 pound braid on it and paired it with a medium action duckett and it cast pretty far. It lays line out pretty well. For 100 dollars it's a good drop shot/tube reel
From: Matt: USA 2/11/15
Comments: Not what they used to be. I own two of the new symetre reels and a new sahara and all of them have the same issue. Any time the reel gets wet they start to reel extremely hard. It then gets to the point where you almost cant crank it. The only way to get rid of it is to let it dry in the rod locker or bust out the reel butter in the middle of a tournament. Shimano really let me down with these. My last symetres last me almost 10 years of hard fishing but then I decided to "upgrade". First the curados then the spinning reels. Wont be buying any more Shimanos from here on out.
From: Joe: WI 10/1/14
Comments: extremely dissappointed. Shimano adds x ship to this reel but then replaces the main drive gear bearing with a plastic bushing! Shimanos so called concepts are such a joke!
From: Jerry: USA 9/9/14
Comments: I can definitely see how this reel could be hitting people's knuckles. If my fingers were any bigger at ALL it would hit my knuckles. My biggest complaint with this reel is the slop in the knob. Why can't shimano put a shim in these knobs so it doesn't click and pop when reeling. My stradic fj is the same way. This reel is pretty smooth it's smoother than my stradics and sustain fg's. This will be my last shimano reel though, I'm sick of them cheapening up their reels. Why can't the keep the aluminium stem like the old symetre? Or the nice bail like the old symetre? People need to quit buying these downgraded shimanos.
From: Nick: USA 9/6/14
Comments: I purchased the 3000 and paired it with a Shimano Convergence, 7ft. Med/Heav fast action and have fished it hard for only two weekends thus far. I pitch spoons for hours pretty much all day and have been well satisfied with how the outfit performs. Like the sahara's casting distance, this Symetre allows me to fish vast amounts of water from one position with 3/8ths spoons (kamloopers). I have not caught anything that tests the X-Ship feature yet, but everything else has been a pleasure for certain! Smooth and precise describe this reel, for the money and a budget conscience mind! I'll keep you posted...p.s. The Convergence is excellent! Casts almost as far as the Scimitar.
From: Mike: WA 7/26/14
Comments: This is a great reel. I bought it last year and have had no problems with it. I fish with it 4+ times per week and push this reel to the limit. I paired it with a 6'6'' quantum rod. This is the best reel in the $100 range
From: Nick: NH 5/28/14
Comments: I recently purchased this reel after owning many Shimano products over the years with lasting quality. I paired it with a Falcon drop/shot rod and spooled it with 6lb Seaguar Fluorcarbon. I fished it in a tournament and it performed flawlessly as i expected with no issues to deal with. I have a couple of Shimano Stradics that have been good over the years and i look for this reel to provide that same trademark for years to come! Great Reel!!
From: Michael: Ripley, TN 4/22/14
Comments: Nice reel and good quality. Just stay away if you have Real Man hands like me, It'l buise your knuckles. Great for you lady fingered men.Clearance is not great. I bought mine to go on my Loomis Bronzeback and the bail is just to close to the rod.
From: Hagen: TN 3/15/14
Comments: After reading the reviews here, I decided to check these out. I liked my sahara, but thought it was time to move up a step or two. So I go to my local tackle shop and try these on some different rods. Now I have big sausage fingers, and it is true, I even showed the salesman- It Does Bang My Knuckles!!! It was a bummer, because these are light weight, smooth ,and comfortable. In short it reminds me of when I was a kid and went clothes shopping- I had to get the Huskey sized pants. So, I think you need to try these on a rod before you buy them. They would be awesome, but for that. So I have to move up to the Saros if I want one to fit my fingers! LOL!
From: Tony: PA
Comments: THIS REEL IS AMAZING. For the price its a very amazing reel. It is very smooth and I have the 3000 size which is small and dose me perfect for bass up to pike! I use this reel for everything. Paired up with 20lb Braid it is the best I have seen. Give it a try! Shimano NEVER fails!
From: Unknown: USA
Comments: I don't know why anyone would have any issues with holding this reel properly. I have two now and it has worked just as well as my Stradics. Best 100 dollar spinning reel on the market in my opinion!
From: Alan: IL
Comments: I have the same negative issue with the new compact design. I used the 2500 religiously and it was time to replace one of them. These are tiny the look like a 1500 or 1000 size and there isn't enough clearance to keep the bail from banging on my fingers and knuckles while reeling. What a shame. Time to try a daiwa or Abu Garcia.
From: Nick: Chicago IL USA
Comments: been using this reel for a long time.. great reel is all I have to say..for $100 its well worth it.
From: Clor: MI
Comments: I have always used the Sahara models and decided to upgrade last year to one of the Symetre 1000FJ models to see how they performed. It is one of the best spinning reels I have ever used. This year I ordered 2 of the Symetre 1000FL (this years new and improved model). They came in just in time to spool them up to use in 2 day bass tournament. I found out on the water on the first day that Shimano has downsized the Symetre to the point that there is not enough room between the reel seat and the first bend in the reel leg for fingers. I tried fishing with them but after half a day and a bleeding knuckle I decided that enough was enough. These reels are useless to me and anyone else who was there at the tournament that I had try to hold them normally. I assume that this is the new Shimano M Compact Body Design; and I see that they now use the same design on the Sahara series. It is too bad that changes are made without thought to the end user's needs. They take an awesome reel and cheapen it to where it is not useable. I will be calling Tackle Warehouse about these although they did not change the reel design; Shimano did.
From: Ted: Blackfoot,Idaho
Comments: I have the Symetre 3000 and already plan to get at least 1 more, maybe 2 (I generally just fish 2 spinning combos, and about 8-10 casting but I may go 3 spinning this season). The Symetre is one to buy with confidence...and IMO spending 250-350 on baitcast reels is reasonable if you have hte money. The technology is there and effects the cast; i.e. spool weight, cast control system, bearings, line guide, etc. SPINNING reels on the other hand, I just don't believe the 250$ and up reels have the technology to make them worth spending it on them. I do not think a 250$ reel will outperform the Symetre by 150$ AT ALL. The Symetre is a workhorse...smooth, great looking, tons of Shimano's top features. good light weight. just a great reel. I will stay in the 99-150 range in spinning rods for sure.
From: Tanner: Southeastern, MA
Comments: The Symetre has taken care of my spinning reel needs for the past 4 seasons. No complaints.
From: Jonesy: UP North
Comments: This real is awesome.. Got the 3000 with a TW gift card I received for Christmas and took it out for the first time this past weekend. Paired up with Sunline Sniper 8lb this thing is unbelievably smooth! I was shocked.. Shimano done this one right, and for $99 it is a steal. Don't hesitate to buy this one.

Creepy critters won't embark on wild life
Owners turn in exotic pets to state officials.
By CASEY CORA
Published March 25, 2007
CLEARWATER - Speedy was the size of a half-dollar when Jay McAllister and his daughter Jaymie purchased the red-eared slider turtle from an Oldsmar pet store several years ago.
Now, he's outgrown the pond in the McAllisters' back yard, and a choice became let Speedy find his way around Dunedin alone, or turn him into the Non-Native Pet Amnesty Day held at Crest Lake Park in Clearwater on Saturday.
Although he was tempted, McAllister decided "it's just not right to let it go."
The amnesty program, sponsored by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, saw about 30 exotic pets, mostly reptiles, turned into the custody of state officials.
Owners brought their pets to a small table under a tent, where turtles tried to scratch their way out of cardboard boxes, snakes writhed in burlap sacks and large iguanas frowned stoically in their small cages.
Organizers say the program began in response to the abundance of nonnative animals introduced into the environment - an act that is dangerous for the animals, the public and Central Florida's subtropical ecosystem.
"They don't belong there," said Dr. Janine Cianciolo, an exotic animal veterinarian in Pinellas County. "They don't belong there at all."
Conservation officials say that released Burmese pythons have recently invaded the Everglades, battling the native alligators for supremacy and disrupting the region's ecology while doing so. And the snakes are mating, which exacerbates the problem.
Cianciolo said owning a reptile can be up to a 20-year endeavor, a commitment not often considered by owners who purchase pets for a novelty. Arboreal iguanas need tall cages. Snakes will eventually require more nourishment than tiny mice. Baby turtles outgrow ponds.
"All of these pets need special care," she said.
Every pet was up for immediate adoption, and about 15 were to be picked up by new owners. The others would face a darker fate.
"If we don't find a good home, they're going to be put down," said Doreen Saccardo, a member of the Suncoast Herpetological Society, a group dedicated to educating the public about responsible reptile ownership.
As owners of four cats, one dog, a bird and a pit with four snakes, 51-year-old Gail Dahl and her daughter Erica, 15, of St. Petersburg are exactly the type of pet owners that make good adoption candidates, organizer said.
After a little prodding from Erica, an aspiring herpetologist, the Dahls adopted a new snake, a blind Burmese python that was turned in hours earlier.
While "Anomaly" - all 10 shiny, marbled black and tan feet of her - wrapped around Erica's arms and around her Snakes on a Plane T-shirt, Erica examined her new pet, face to face.
"How can you turn down a face like this?"

Anyone used artichokes , what kind & method.
I'm trying them tomorrow. there canned in brine. Hey its worth a try. they use them in Italy, meat pizzas are expensive.
Artichokes in brine are quite acidic & tend to add a vinegary taste to the pizza, even if you dry them out. Artichokes marinated in olive oil are a much better choice.Matt
If you can find frozen artichoke hearts saute them with some garlic and herbs of your choice. Much better than canned.Michael

Intel Corp. recently unveiled a new schedule concerning commercial release of dual-core NetBurst-based processors with new core revision. As a result of the change, the top-of-the-line chip will not get a new stepping, whereas the least powerful processor will face conversion much later than originally indicated.
In mid-July Intel notified its clients that Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 840 and Intel Pentium D processors 840, 830, 820 would undergo a number of changes for the A0 to the B0 core processor stepping change, including CPUID change from F44 to F47. The B0 stepping was claimed to be pin compatible with A0, but new S-Specs were promised to be introduced for converting products.
"This product change notification (PCN) revision is being published to adjust the Intel Pentium D Processor 2.80GHz ready-to-receive date from October 21, 2005 to March 03, 2006 and to withdraw/cancel the A0 to B0 conversion of the Intel Pentium processor Extreme Edition 840," Intel said.
The company explained that "due to healthier than expected production yields" of the Pentium Extreme Edition component, Intel had decided to keep the Intel Pentium processor Extreme Edition 840 chip on the A0 stepping through End-of-Life. This may mean that Intel has enough chips to satisfy the demand for its most powerful dual-core microprocessor going forward.
Intel does not note any changes it will perform to the processors originally code-named
First samples of the updated chips were expected to be released on August 5, 2005.

Interesting post Monday about academia and blogging at Association of College & Research Libraries' blog, ACRLog.

December is almost here, which means that the calendar year as we know it is drawing to a close. This will unleash the urge—and the annual ritual of the popular press—to write reflective articles about the year just finishing and predictive articles about 2006. The top events in politics, the arts, athletics, and other areas will be rehashed and ranked. I predict that natural disasters will receive a lot more attention and ink than they have in the retrospectives of previous years.Rather than look back on 2005, let's look forward to 2006. To get a jump on the competition, I'm going to stick my neck out and speculate a bit about what could be major developments in library and information technology in the coming year. I have two things in mind: Both technologies have been around for awhile, but 2006 could be the breakout year for both. Read More »
John Blyberg from the Ann Arbor District Library recently posted an ILS Customer's Bill of Rights, a very thoughtful reflection that you should definitely click through to. As I was reading it, however, I was also reminded of another bill of rights I recently came across, The Social Customer Manifesto. It's actually a blog devoted to the social-software movement, but I found the tenets of the Manifesto quite intriguing (you can find them listed in the righthand sidebar on the site). Read More »
Allow me to direct your attention to this white paper that Ken Chad and Paul Miller just posted at Talis: Do Libraries Matter? The Rise of Library 2.0 (available in PDF format).
It's from the conference where they demonstrated Whisper that Jenny wrote about here. It's time to continue the conversations (and start them if you haven't already) about improving library services for the future via social software and some forward-thinking about library users. Read More »
Earlier this week the Wall Street Journal reported that Google and an unnamed publisher were having discussions about leasing access to e-books. The general idea is that users would pay approximately ten percent of the list price for the printed book to be able to read the e-book for one week. In other words, they're talking about a pay-per-circ digital lending library.
When it comes to new (and recycled) schemes for pricing e-books, November has been a "Katy-bar-the-door" month. Amazon and Random House announced separate plans to sell e-books in less-than-complete chunks, such as chapters. If we manage to get through the remainder of the month without any more turkey announcements like this, we'll have another cause for thanksgiving. Read More »
RSS is the biggest opportunity we have had since the Web.
I'm not kidding you—it's that big, and if you don't understand it, you need
to. It's critical that libraries understand RSS.—Jenny Levine, from the Chicago Public Library's 2005 Scholars in Residence Conference Read More »
Over at Stephen's Lighthouse, Stephen Abram points to a really useful and visual technology tool, a map that illustrates just how widespread the damage is to libraries that were in the paths of Katrina and Rita. Created within the Normative Data Project, the map, says Abram, "presents information on the libraries that were substantially damaged by hurricanes Katrina and Rita." Some of the affected libraries' conditions are listed as: Read More »
"Libraries should be seizing every opportunity to challenge these perceptions, and to push their genuinely valuable content, services and expertise out to places where people might stand to benefit from them; places where a user would rarely consider drawing upon a library for support."—Paul Miller, from "Web 2.0: Building the New Library," Ariadne 45 (October 2005) (http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue45/miller/)Jenny's previous post noting that libraries should be playing a pivotal role in the development of Web 2.0/Library 2.0 services, leads me to ponder what first steps the uninitiated might take—as well as the personal side of the social software universe.I touched on it briefly at CPL last week, but there was just so much to talk about that day.

The other day, while walking out at the end of a break-out
session of the Chicago Public Library's Scholars in Residence Conference at the Harold Washington Library Center, I mentioned to my colleague, Laura Pelehach
(acquisitions editor from ALA Editions), that I wanted to meet him (finally,
after seeing him speak on a few occasions) face to face at the reception at the
end of day. A conference attendee, walking out just behind us, chimed in, "When
you do, ask him if he will be the king of the world." Read More »
Publish, published by Ziff Davis Media, Inc., featured a nifty article by Jason Boog last week, "Library 2.0 Movement Sees Benefits in Collaboration with Patrons," which features interviews with Jenny Levine, Aaron Schmidt, and Jessamyn West.According to Boog, "These innovative librarians realize that some Web 2.0 technologies, such as blogs, wikis, and online databases like Google Print, are already competing for the attentions of library patrons...The librarians aim to build a participatory network of libraries using Web resources like blogs, wiki tools, and tags."

Lots of folks are sour on snippets. Google has made lemonade out of the old word "snippet" by using it to describe what will be presented to users when they perform a full-text search in the Google Print Library and retrieve hits for the search term in a work still protected by copyright. Here is Google's brief (and a little vague) description of how this works on the "common questions" page about the Google Print Library Project (http://print.google.com/googleprint/common.html): "For library books still in copyright, you'll be able to find the book in your search result, but we will only display bibliographic information and a few short snippets of the book."

Henry Dishes on 2012's Dress Trends
Here at Henry Roth, we pride ourselves with being on-trend and appealing to all brides.
When it comes to weddings, one thing is timeless–wedding dresses are typically a variation on white. However, you only have to look through your parents' generation's wedding pictures to know that bridal gowns are as much about trends as any other part of fashion. And this year, we are most inspired by the classic and elegant gown worn by Catherine Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge last April, which was a huge departure from the dress worn 30 years earlier by her husband's mother, Lady Diana Spencer.
So, without further adieu, what can we look to this year?
Lace, whether it is chantilly, Alencon, Duchesse Guipure, or ribbon, lace is a traditional bridal fabric that we are looking to use in new and exciting ways. And worn, a la Kate, you capture one of the season's biggest bridal trends–lace sleeves. Our Darcy gown is all about the Alencon lace in which it is constructed.
Illusion-style necklines. This is where a sheer, delicate, and often embellished layer of fabric veils skin that would otherwise be exposed. Our take? Kara.
Color, is beginning to make an appearance in bridal gowns and, indeed blush gowns are a budding trend for 2012. But while many brides who look to color will implement subdued colors into their gown, there are others who opt for rich and vibrant hues. To bring color to your gown, you can go all out or look to incorporate it in accents on sashes, bows, embroidery, hems, necklines or beading. Love this look? Take a look at Kerri (which also, incidentally, incorporates another big trend–two-tiered skirts.)
Modern silhouettes with a nod to vintage. Our signature look is "future vintage" so take a look through our collection and you will be perfectly on trend with any gown you choose!
Whichever look you choose, one thing's for certain, you are bound to rock your frock.
Until next time,

Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 10 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by EAS broken poles I now have 2 nets and both nets have broken poles. I shopped around for replacement poles with no success, I am now trying to take one set apart and replace the broken sections with parts from the 2nd net. Shop around for a better product! November 3, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Talon233 Complete Garbage The pole broke after putting it up. Lasted all of 5 minutes. Did not even get to use it September 29, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Hdbdnd Broke on me I bought this net about 2 weeks ago. I have used almost everyday. Today as I went to take a swing, the piece holding the net together in the back snapped. The net fell backwards and my shot sailed over the neighbors and onto the road. Overall. I liked this net a lot but durability may be an issue September 26, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by Danlisa Good quality but not for me. This practice net was really well made especially compared to the less expensive ones out there. I did not find it that easy to put together and was disapointed on how it secures to the ground. If you live in an area with any winds this is not the net for you. I ended up bringing it back and am still looking for the perfect one. July 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Vladir Works well but a bit light. I have very high ball speed, this net handles stopping the ball. The problem is indoors additional weight is necessary to keep the net in place. Well designed and made February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by JT Easy to use net Net is pretty easy to use. I would recommend using restricted flight balls to increase the life of your net. When using a net take your time and evaluate yourself. Don't just beat a bunch of balls into the net. December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Big O Great product. I enjoy the Callaway driving net. It is good value and quality. I have found Callaway products always high quality. My only negative comment it was a little difficult finding the instruction and you need instrustions. September 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by mikey 61 Excellent product The product was easy to put together. The instructions were very adequate. The great thing about this product is you can move it with ease any where on the lawn you want too. I like the fact that you don't have to tie any of the netting. It all is supported by the poles. The size of the disassembled product is really great for carrying, and it all fits in the carry bag. Although it is not the cheapest product available I think the quality makes up for the slightly higher price. I would recommend this product to anyone. August 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hoover43 Excellent for backyard training Well built and holds up very well to wind conditions that may occur. I use it daily and it is an excellent and convenient backyard training tool for someone who wants to lower their strokes on the course. Striking the ball better now than ever by hitting my irons and driver daily. Great purchase for the price. May 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Allen Very nice Great product built sturdy and very easy to set up March 29, 2012

Article Header
The venue built for slalom's Olympic debut in 1972 hosted the World Cup #3 this weekend. The World Cup was also the final Olympic selection race being used for USACK to select the 5 athletes that would go on to the Beijing Olympic Games.
Casey Eichfeld and Rick Powell secured their Olympic selection in Friday's heats. They finished 7th in the heats (a personal best) while Austin Crane and Scott McCleskey ended up outside the top 15 and therefore did not move forward into Saturdays semi-finals. Getting down to business in Saturday's semi-final Eichfeld and Powell had a fantastic morning run on a very challenging course, but fell just a little short of making the final, finishing in 12th place overall. The C2 competition was won by Hochschorner/Hochschorner (SVK), Skantar/Skantar (SVK), Simon/Simon (GER). Crane and McCleskey finished in 18th place.
All three kayaks advanced out of the heats into the semis all placing in the top 10. The semi-final was an intense race and moved Scott Parsons and Scott Mann onto the final. Brett Heyl narrowly missed advancing-he had the fastest time in the semis, but with two touches was moved out of the running to finish 15th overall. Both Scott's paddled amazingly well in a heated final that came down to the wire. In the end Scott Parsons prevailed edging out Mann to finish 3rd and clinching his second Olympic berth. Scott Mann finished an outstanding 6th. 1st and 2nd went to Pfannmoller (GER) and Peschier (FRA) respectively.
C1's Benn Fraker, Jeff Larimer and Tad Dennis also all moved in to the semi-final with few problems. However, the difficult semi's course took its toll across the field of competitors. Fraker would be our only athlete to move into the finals, with Larimer finishing 18th and Tad Dennis 29th over all. With Fraker's progression he successfully secured his Olympic participation. He went on to place 5th in a tight final. The race was won by Bell (AUS), Indruch (CZE) and Bieryt (POL).
In the women's kayak heats Caroline Queen comfortably moved into the semi's while Heather Corrie recovered from a 50" penalty on her first run allowing her to move forward. Unfortunately, Zuzana Vanha had a devastating 2nd run to finish 47th and did not advance. The semis course proved challenging for the class. Queen paddled very well in her run but several touches prevented her from moving into the final. Corrie paddled cautiously and smoothly top to bottom and secured 16th place in addition to the women's Olympic berth.
With the successful conclusion of this event, the USA Canoe/Kayak Olympic Slalom team will be Casey Eichfeld and Rick Powell (C2), Scott Parsons (K1), Benn Fraker (C1) and Heather Corrie (K1W).

I have always maintained that the best people on our team–those who bring the most creativity and fresh ideas to the table–are the ones who have varied and passionate interests outside the office. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems that the world (or at least the workplace) conspires against us being able to develop such interests.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a slave to lists. I have to-do lists all over my apartment and all over my desk, and I rarely leave home to run any sort of errand without a list in hand. My current system involves taking a few minutes at the end of each day to reconcile all of my lists with one master list–and then I start over the next morning.

Tag: mystery color'
My First Franken!
- by Playing with Polish
I have long admired the frankens I have seen posted by other beauty bloggers. Making your own polish colors? How cool is that?!?! I have been meaning to try it for a while, and I finally decided to take the plunge. I have a set of Color Club polishes that I bought at Ross, All About Color, for $7.99. I could not find any information online and unlike the other Color Club sets I have, the names of the polish were not printed on the box. I have had this set for a while, but never blogged about them as they were mystery colors. For my first franken, I decided to use a Barbie pink from this set and jazz it up with some holographic and pink cosmetic glitter. I added three small scoops of each to the base color and mixed it up. The result looked good in the bottle, so my hopes were high. I tried my new concoction on a nail wheel and was dismayed to see that I had some very bumpy polish that looked like it had a bad rash! Uggh. I though the polish was too thick, but I did not have any thiner on hand as I never finish a bottle. Since the bottle was already ruined I took a chance and added a few drops of polish remover. I again applied it to the nail wheel with disappointing results. I added a second coat anyway, and a top coat. The top coat smoothed the polish and made the glitter particles more visible! Although the polish was not amazing, it was pretty cute. Now the mystery polish is a Barbie pink with the subtle twinkle of glitter. I am calling it Princess Polish. I have ordered some polish thinner, and can't wait to give frankening another crack!
Application was ok. The formula was a bit bumpy and uneven. Most issues were smoothed out with a top coat. Three coats and a top coat shown.
What do you think? Do you franken?

Present: Meghan, Simone, Martin, Me, Christina, Helen, Thomas.
review of last time's action points
It turns out i did not complete many tasks appointed to me...
i still need to contact the skinny and the list, do a poster run( martin to make posters), book Robyn Kidd in for the end of July and write some text for mike to invite submissions for the gallery.
Drawing Class
helen thinks it would be good to have a drawing class in the forest, we all agree it is a good idea.
Helen knows some models who would work for free, should contact Bloo in relation to holding in the craft room, maybe hall, maybe action room.
Drawing On tables
Christina would like to use some of the cafe tables to put drawings on.
should stay away from ones already decorated but plain ones might be ok
I will start a thread on this for the wider community to raise objections/opinions.
Submission from The Vacuum Cleaner- looks good should try to get in but may need some extra cash...
Martin to get in touch with him and say we are keen to have him in the gallery for a couple of weeks.
need to book the rest of the space soon- should invite proposals.
Other Business
should not make people who have come to their first meeting point of contact for artists- need to know said people will come back.
Last three exhibitions filled.

This formula is certain to sicken your petA popular formula that more and more pet parents are using on their dogs and cats every day is particularly dangerous because it seems to be beneficial, has no apparent side effects and is inexpensive.But this thing, which has no taste or smell, may appear to be good for you and your pet now, but it will assuredly ruin the health of your dog or cat later, animal welfare advocates warn.Story continues below----------------------------------------------------------------------A book about a rescue dogthat will touch your heartTHE HUNT OF HER LIFE, a full-color book by newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, is must reading for animal lovers of all ages. It has 60 color photos of dogs to illustrate the compelling story of Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog adopted at age 2 by Mr. Reppucci. Travel with them along a trail of life filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. THE HUNT OF HER LIFE will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.For more details and to order, go to theMySetterSam E-storeAlso find The Hunt of Her Life on:Facebook/thehuntofherlifeAmazon.comCLICK HERE TO LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK----------------------------------------------------------------------Story continues hereThe seemingly harmless formula: Skipping routine veterinary visits and buying cheap pet food to save money.Dr. Rebecca Ruch-Gallie of the veterinary teaching hospital at Colorado State University says the number of sick pets visiting animal clinics has been increasing, an indication that owners are skimping of food and health care."We're seeing more emergency and problem visits rather than just routine checkups," she states in a media release. "It's probably due to people cutting back."This short-sighted approach to pet care is actually more expensive in the long run because your dog or cat is more likely to get sick from poor nutrition and lack of health care, resulting in much higher medical bills, animal welfare advocates say. They say providing routine health care now for your pet - which includes regular exercise, quality diet and preventative maintenance - is a better healthier formula that will avert costly veterinary expenses in the future.Dr. Ruch-Gallie offers these suggestions to keep your pet healthy:
- Feed your pet high-quality food. Less expensive foods often have lower nutritional value because have non-digestible fillers such as grains. Ultimately, any savings by buying low-cost food are eliminated because a pet needs to eat more of it to be satisfied and to obtain good nutrition.
- Groom dogs and cats daily or every other day at home. Brushing distributes oils in the animal's coat, which improves the health of their skin and fur, decreases matting and lowers risks of skin infections and irritations. Also, people who groom their pets often notice changes and abnormalities in skin and coat and may notice body changes, lumps or other indications of the early stages of illness. Finding illnesses early often means treatments are less expensive.
- Practice good dental hygiene. Daily brushing of a pet's teeth - particularly against the gun line with an enzymatic, pet specific toothpaste - has significant returns. It decreases the risk of infection in a pet's mouth which often spread to the blood and into organs such as the kidney or into joints.
Dr. Ruch-Gallie suggests skimping in areas other than food and health care to save money. Her money-savings suggestions:
- Be creative when giving treats. If you only feed a dry food, consider giving a small amount of canned food as a treat.
- Curb impulse buying. Shop around for treats, bones, toys. Significant savings can be found online or at discount stores.
- Buy fewer toys, and trick pets into thinking those toys are new. Pets need toys to keep their minds and bodies engaged. Keeping a stash of five to 10 toys and rotate a few of them periodically to make them appear to be new.More reports about dogs and health:This formula is certain to sicken your petAn all-natural substance that makes pets sickTry this fountain of youth for your petA wonder drug guaranteed to help your petFor pets, your dirty hands are really sickeningFavorite pastime a leading cause of illnessAlarming rise in heartworm a threat to petsPurebred dogs needlessly suffering, report saysDog heart medicine research results promisingCushing's drug receives FDA approvalParalyzing diseases of dogs, people linkedWarning issued about alternative medicineMore reports about dogs and healthReports about dogs and flea, tick control:Pet deaths prompt tougher rules for flea, tick itemsUse of flea, tick products a must despite EPA warningStop ticks from dogging - or killing - your petYour dog may have you sleeping with thousands of fleasGet pets ready for invasion of blood-sucking insectsReports about dogs and oral health:The stinking truth behind smelly dog breathGood oral care can be a lifesaverReports about dogs and cancer:Major breakthrough in canine cancer treatmentFirst-ever canine cancer drug developedMaking strides in fight against canine cancerWorldwide effort to cure canine cancer�We all hear horrible stories about pets who are forgotten or neglected which is truly heartbreaking,� Robert Nager, owner of the Boston-based pet-sitting service Decadent Dog, states in a media release. �No matter what, please do whatever you can to take care of them.

Works better when put between the gum and lip - no sugar alcohols (but does contain lactose). Note: high doses of B12 may deplete iodine, iron, zinc, manganese
Publié par Health-Is-Wealth le Jan 20, 2014
I don't tolerate mannitol/sorbitol used by other brands but the small bit of lactose in this seems OK. I found this one works better when put between the gum and lip - under the tongue it dissolves too fast. I'm going to try California Xtracts and Jarrow Formulas instead. 1) Pure Advantage methyl-B12 spray - ineffective (I wonder about the sorbate preservative in it); 2) InterPlexus Inc NutriSorb liquid hydroxycobalamin - effective but still needs to be 'converted' to active form - I found the one drop dose suggested on label isn't enough; 3) Solgar cyanocobalamin 1mg sublingual - dissolves too fast and not as effective as active methyl-B12; 4) Source Naturals methyl-B12 1mg sublingual - contains mannitol and sorbitol. Iodine/B12 are synergists - suggest adding/increasing either one if taking more of the other, especially long term. Same is true of other nutrients such as manganese and zinc (both need cobalt, high cobalt may deplete them) - could be why some people note headaches after taking high doses of B12 (both high and low manganese can cause migraine-headaches). High doses of B12 will also deplete iron - they are antagonists. If this review was helpful to you, please click YES below - thank you.

My most recent 14" NY style pizzas had 220 grams of cheese. (Yes, I almost always weigh my cheese.)
Also, your latest pizza looks great.
Do you also weigh the sauce? How much sauce do you use for 14" NY-style?
Besides, unlike with cheese, having a specific intended sauce weight isn't such a big deal. Also, it's pretty easy to measure sauce accurately without weighing it.
I like your crumb because while there is a little bit of noticeable structure to it, it doesn't look like the complex, open, irregular, wet-looking crumb many of this site's members seem to prefer. I'd say your outer crust (or rim) is probably a little thicker than a true NY style pizza, just as mine is, but you're still close.
There's one weird thing that I've begun to notice about your crusts: All of your crusts have some kind of slightly strange-looking characteristic to them (paleness or something, and/or a caky-looking texture), which I suspect probably comes from the type of flour you use.
It would be cool if you could get your hands on a specific brand of flour that other members are familiar with. I'm willing to bet that if you were using one of the flours on scott123's list of acceptable NY style flours, your crust would not have this characteristic.
I believe three factors might be involved:1.) When stretching/forming the skin, I use more flour than I should. This flour stays on the crust and makes it look somewhat more white.
The problem is that these brands of flour aren't available here in Germany. I'm sure there are adequate brands here as well that would be suitable for NY-style, but until someone here on the forum who also lives in Germany gives me some insight, I'm stuck with the flour I currently use.
Yeah, I know. I was just saying it would be great if at least one of the popular brands of flour in the United States was available to you. I mean, even when you mentioned specific flour types that are available to you, I had no idea how any of these flour types may compare to the types of flour that are available to me. For example, I identify flour by terms such as "high gluten flour," "bread flour," "all-purpose flour," and "pastry flour." For all I know, flour in Germany may be separated into the same types of flour, but they just use different terminology. Conversely, maybe the kinds of flour that are available to you are completely different than the types of flour that are available to me, which is why they're not identified with similar terms. I don't know, and I don't really feel like doing any homework right now.
For what it's worth, I like this last crumb. It looks a little low on the protein scale (maybe closer to 12%), but, all things considered, it looks pretty open/good.
That is a good job for 10.6% protein
I'm curious about something. Does your oven have a broiler (top element/top burner)?
BTW, "Eiweiß" means protein in german. So I think I'm doing a really good job considering the fact that it's only 10.6% protein!
Well, I bowed out of your initial stone inquiry thread because I wasn't certain what style you were shooting for, and even if you did state a preference, for a 482 oven, I don't know of any material that is guaranteed to give you great (ie fast) NY style results.Now that you seem to be moving in a very NYish direction and can confirm 500 F.... that changes things a bit. It won't be cheap, and it's a bit cutting edge/unproven, but for 500 F. I strongly suggest keeping your eye out for 3/8" (1 cm) or thicker aluminum plate.
If the specs for the flour are reciting protein content on a 0% moisture basis, as is common in Europe, then the comparable protein content on a 14% moisture basis could be over 11%. We would have to know the moisture content of the flour to do a more accurate calculation. Unfortunately, millers do not put the moisture basis on the flour bags. You would need the actual specs on the flour as held by the miller.
Is there a cheaper steel-plate alternative with similar results?BTW, could you please take a look at this thread of mine (regarding flour) and tell me what you think? http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,28675.0.htmlIt has to do with type 1050 flour... I haven't tried it yet just because it's a tiny bit darker than the other flour... but it's 12.1% protein. Would you try it if you were in my shoes?
More fiber = more bran = bad. Bran slices through gluten and inhibits oven spring. You don't want anything in dough that limits volume. I wouldn't recommend the 1050.
Steel doesn't really start doing it's NY style magic until around 525. There's oven tricks you can do to push your oven a bit further (such as place a frozen towel around the temperature probe), but if you want to avoid tricks, but still have fast bakes, I sincerely think aluminum is the answer.
What are the dimensions of your oven shelf?
We've had members play with spelt. Much like we've had members play with whole wheat. There's nothing inherently wrong with either, but, imo, they're advanced pizzamaking because you have to compensate for the deficiencies of the flour.
When you expose pizza to intense heat, either through high temperature or conductive materials (such as steel and aluminum), the intense heat boils the water in the dough and causes a rapid expansion of steam (as well as a rapid expansion of the CO2 from the yeast). This rapid expansion is oven spring and it gives the pizza superior volume. Superior volume/greater puff, for many members, tastes better. So a faster baked pizza is a tastier pizza (to a point).
For the style you're currently making, 4 or 5 minutes should be the goal- and you'll never reach that goal with a screen.
Could you measure your oven shelf?
Size plays a factor in this style.

Well, one exists—at least according to the trail-running proponents of marijuana interviewed for this article. Use by trail runners seems to be based upon two main reasons: performance enhancing and mental/spiritual well being.
In its most practical, performance-enhancing applications, marijuana seems uniquely qualified as an ergogenic for long-distance running (slower efforts) for three reasons: it helps mitigate pain, decrease nausea and increase appetite. The longer the race or run, the more likely you are to encounter pain or inability to hold down food; how well you address these issues might mean the difference between a DNF and a great performance.
"Early in my ultrarunning, I struggled with eating and often experienced nausea," says a runner I interviewed. "Pot helped [alleviate] that."
When I asked a marijuana user if he had any fear of the smoke inhibiting performance, he said, "I don't smoke every race, but I had my best trail running race- performance on a day when I smoked. So, no." On that hard effort, he set a trail-marathon course record, saying the drug helped him mentally focus.
Other physiological effects of marijuana might also improve athletic performance: similar to caffeine it appears to increase heart rate right after ingestion, although a racing heart rate could also be seen as a negative. And, similar to an asthma inhaler, marijuana acts like a bronchodilator, opening the air passages and improving oxygen transport.
On the mental side, THC's effect on the brain's neuron communication causes an altered perception of reality and lends itself to the feeling of "oneness with nature" that is commonly reported by avid users.
While pot can turn some folks into zombies, many runners report the opposite. As one trail runner told me, "I use it to get me out the door. It is a total motivator."
A member of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List Committee, Dr. Marilyn Huestis says several elite athletes have lauded marijuana for "improving sleep, and reducing fear and anxiety surrounding competition." Although not discussed in any research, she also mentioned that those athletes thought it helped them "recover faster from injuries."
