Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012
So this is how it goes. You start by pinning the faux bijoux—diamonds and pearls, jet and crystals—in your hair, decorating a pretty headband. Then you dangle them from your earlobes. Then you might quickly throw a stack around your neck. Or you could pin them onto yourself somewhere around the décolleté. Or better still—both! Your waist will dazzle because a buckle denuded of sparkle is, please, just dull, dull, dull. You'll almost forget your wrists for a second, and add the jewels there to assuage the little panic that set in at seeing them unadorned. And since you've gone this far, what the hell, your feet are looking a little lackluster now, better affix a bauble or two to your booties. Then, if you're Oscar de la Renta, you'll also blow the jewels up big, and print, embroider, and splash them over sheath dresses, tiny jackets, skinny pants, and oversize parkas and nip-waist coats, both of which come with fox collars. But even for Oscar, all that hyper-embellishment isn't enough, so the final touch—big jewel-encrusted buttons.
Sensory overload has been the leitmotif of the last few days, from all sorts of quarters, and in all sorts of ways, but basically, there is an agreement as to the one basic approach; everything should be more, more, more. The question is: Why? Is it the way we're all becoming numb to fashion's more extremist impulses (and dressers)? That the embracing of baroque floral prints worn head to toe has sparked a desire to push the look somewhere even more ornate? Or is it—and this is where Oscar de la Renta comes in—a feeling that we live in serious and tough enough times without having to flagellate our wardrobes in the bargain? Fashion should be fun.
You don't send out in quick succession, as Oscar did at his fall show, the likes of candy-hued teeny mink jackets, snow-bunny furry ankle boots, and enough eighties-era short pleated strapless silk-taffeta party dresses to have kept Sammy Jo Carrington on dates with oil heirs without a playful wink. Of course, Oscar gets away with all this because he is the absolute master at knowing when to push it, fun-wise, and when to rein it in. Toward the end of his show, a trio of sublime evening dresses appeared, long and columnar, in crushed velvet or silk faille, and in a shade of green he called Nile. They were seriously gorgeous, and sparkled all the more because of their elegant restraint.

Sword melt?
1 Attachment(s)
I just got my hands on a Indian Red Sword the arrived after more than a week in the mail. I put it in the tank as sure as possible it's leaves started to melt away. I know this is normal for crypts to readjust to the different water parameters, but I never heard or seen a sword do this. Will it come back like crypts or is it doomed? My red melon sword didn't do this at all, in fact it put out three new leaves 6 days after planting it in dirt.
Do swords and crypts have the same root style? Crypts seem to have a more tuber like structure to store loads of energy to recover while swords don't. Could this make a difference whether it will come back or not?
Swords melt leafs all the time. Could just be that the leafs were emersed leafs are are melting because of that. One of my swords actually had the leafs rot off from the crown, and that plant is making a comeback now.
I would say that as long as the crown of the plant is firm and that there is even the smallest hint of new growth that the plant should be fine. But word of advice, while it is in this sort of state, put a ton of root tabs around it or have a really fertile substrate. I moved a small dying sword of mine from a tank with eco complete to a dirted tank and while it did nothing for months in the eco complete, it is taking off now in the dirted tank.
Thank you. I made sure that the roots were in the soil. That's a relief, I thought it was a goner. About how long does it take to make a come back. Is it slower than crypts or the same? Maybe next time I'll cut off the leaves if they were emerged to begin with.
normally, amazon swords are considered average growers, so I'd say it would be a little faster than crypt growth unless you have some sort of fancy variety. I feel like the non-normal varieties take longer to grow, about the same as a crypt I guess.
What I did actually, was move the small not doing well sword into a smaller tank where it would get much more intense lighting, and then I'll move it to the larger tank when it gets bigger. Right now, in about the span of two weeks, it has tripled in size and quadrupled in number of leafs, and the type of sword I'm dealing with is an aflame sword. So you should be fine.

Cooking with oil.
Hi , I don't know if anyone cangive me any advice . I try to cook healthily and avoid using oil when I'm cooking. However, when I can't get around this I usualy opt for olive oil, but I have been told that this too releases cartogens
and is therefore not quite as healthy as I thought. What should I do, use the regulatoil or still stick to olive oil? thanks

Re: Cooking with oil.
It depends at what level of heat you are cooking at.. whenever you go past the smoke point of any fat it breaks down and produces carcinogens.. you can still use olive oil for fairly high heat applications just not extra virgin.. refined extra light olive oil is filtered which raises its smoke point quite alot.. here is a link to a chart of smoke points of different oils.

Re: Cooking with oil.
I use rice bran oil for majority of my cooking. It not only has a very high smoking point, it also has no cholestrol. I use olive oil when I want flavour from it.

Re: Cooking with oil.
The heating of an oil will change some of it's molecules; but the same goes for other fats. As far as I know you actually need to char foods before you get carcinogens.

Milani Baked Bronzer 04 Glow Review
By Vijeta Nagar
Product Purchased by IMBB
Hi all,
I am back with another set of Milani products. Before anything else I need to share something. This is my first IMBB Sponsored Product and I am so, so grateful to IMBB for this opportunity. You have given a new zeal to my life and I will forever be grateful to you guys. Thanks Rati, Sanjeev Ji, Jomol, and everyone working for IMBB. Moving on, I came across new Milani Baked Bronzers and picked up two of them: Glow and Soleil. I will be reviewing Milani Baked Bronzer in Glow today.
Price: INR 1125 (7gms)
Product Description:
Crafted on Italian terracotta tiles, Baked Bronzer is all about a streak-free glow with a slight shimmer finish. Choose from soft gold to tantalizingly tan and dust it lightly on face and body?anywhere and everywhere you want to glow.
Glide brush over color and lightly tap off excess powder. Lightly apply to cheeks, forehead, chin and/or nose and blend well for a soft glow.
Talc, Mica, Dimethicone, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Polysorbate 20, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Sorbitan Stearate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).
My Experience with Milani Baked Bronzer 04 Glow:
Baked products are a revolution in the market. The marbleized soft look is tantalizing enough to empty our pockets. These products are initially creams which are baked over a period of time so that they dry to powders. The baking process makes them creamy and velvety.
They have fewer filler ingredients so they are more pigmented. Baked products are more luminous, vibrant quality. Another great feature is that because of their origin as a liquid, the powders can be used dry or wet.
The packaging ...

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Gracie4Gold, Feb 4, 2012.
And it makes me wish Gracie places 4th.
Poor Gracie.
She hasn't had a clean LP in a major competition this season. Last season was worse. Compare how well Lipnitskaya skated at junior nationals (i.e. two clean back to back programs) with Gold at American junior nationals, and anyone being objective would recognise the difference between the real thing and the over hyped.
Sotnikova has been out of form all season due to injury and growth issues. Last season, she was undefeated.
Tuk won her first 3 senior competitions. The competitions you refer to occurred during her mid-season lull when she was exhausted. Moreover, she still won the Youth Olympics despite the tiredness as she was able to make up for the flaws with other aspects of her skating - something Gold does not have
Read the post properly. I was not referring to you, but the title of the thread. As for the Russians being held up - their scores do that for them. As I said in an earlier post, Gold would not have made the podium had Russian and American nationals been one competition. She would have finished 4th, despite Sotnikova, Tuktamysheva, and Korobeynikova not even competing. Had they been, Gold would have probably have had only the 7th highest score
1) You seem awful obsessed with Gracie. Are all your 8 posts so far about her?
2) I think it's pretty clear this thread was created by a troll, and the title was meant to piss people off.
Wrong. First post and reason for joining was poor Eurosport coverage. The rest on this thread due to be ensnared into this discussion. Obsessed about this thread? I guess the original poster succeeded in 'pissing' me off. I've nothing against Gold, only those who overhype her.
Based on their comments, it seems a fairly safe bet JudgeDred and Gracie4Gold are both the same crazy person fighting out their split personalities in this thread.
Good point.
Let's put your theory to the test. See the Poll.
Nah - Gracie4golds alter ego is ESTA. I am like the Sally Field character from Sybil and have multiple personalties. However, none of the others have joined FSU - yet.....
As you could come up with nothing constructive in support of your points, it usually means you've lost the argument
Not that you know of...
You can't compare scores from different competitions-not really. You don't know if the same judges in the same competition would have placed Gracie that far below.
I think you've hit the nail right on the head. I had the same thought myself.
were waiting for Gracie4Gold's defences against JudgeDred
where is she/he ?
I figure, I'll let her bring the skate Gods down on the wonder babies and Jinx them!
There are so many topics about Gracie right now!I'm happy with it
Oh yes - "PLONK"

Called "Health Care ER," Democrats' health care emergency response network will hold targeted Republicans accountable for protecting health insurance companies' profits from doubled insurance premiums and denied health care coverage, at the expense of affordable health care.

In June, the DCCC launched a paid and grassroots ad campaign targeting Republicans who just said no to President Obama's economic recovery act that is funding critically-needed local projects and creating tens of thousands of jobs in their districts.
Republicans Play, You Lose Video
Some Republicans in Congress are playing games with working families. They opposed the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights -- critical legislation that protects people who work hard and play by the rules from facing unfair interest rate increases and excessive fees. So who did these Republicans stand with? Watch our video and find out.
"Tax Man" Radio Ads
The DCCC is taking the message of middle class tax cuts and economic recovery directly to Republican Members in radio ads called "Tax Man" that will run in the lead up to Tax Day on April 15th.

Watch the DCCC's TV ads in the race to fill newly-appointed Senator Gillibrand's open Congressional seat (Special Election: March 31st):
I'm Sorry, Rush: Republicans Beg Limbaugh's ForgivenessRNC Chairman Michael Steele called himself the "de facto leader" of the party and even called Rush Limbaugh's show "ugly" and "incendiary." In a real profile in courage, Steele immediately changed his story and kissed up to Rush.
Of course, Steele isn't the only blubbering Republican forced to kiss King Rush's ring. Thanks to you, we launched I'm Sorry Rush, the fastest and easiest way for a Limbaugh-Loving Republican to express the error of their ways to their real leader. Try out the "Republican Apology Machine" for yourself »
Running Out of Rich People?Just when you think we finally heard the single most outrageous Republican excuse for trying to obstruct President Obama's agenda for change, something like this comes along.
Limbaugh Attacked -- You Responded
Rush Limbaugh actually said that he "hopes" President Obama fails to meet America's challenges. Thanks to more than 60,000 of you, we stood strong against his attacks.
Putting Families FirstDCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen announced the Putting Families First Campaign, an ad and grassroots campaign that the DCCC is running in 28 targeted Republican districts. The ads focus on the Republicans out of step priorities by putting bank bail outs and building schools in Iraq before the needs of the Americans in the struggling economy.

In my mind, there are only 3 ELITES
The rest are either really good or just good. Some of those have their ELITE moments
If after 8-10 years, you are not considered a dead lock HOF, you CAN NOT be considered ELITE. Thats my take on what ELITE is
Each person has their own measurements, mine does not require you to win a super bowl. Lets not forget, this is a team sport. Eli doesnt have those superbowls without his defense stepping up and those two miraculous catches. To define a player as ELITE simply on a single quarter of play and what hes done in the Super Bowl in the final minutes of the game is NOT enough.
Im an Eli supporter, hes my guy until he isnt a QB anymore. I've seen the likes of Montana/Marino play the position so I've seen what a GREAT QB looks like.
Eli has flashes of that, he then does his best act to dimish it. He should still have another 7-8 years left in him so there is plenty of time for him to get himself into that discussion as far as Im concerned. At the end of the day, that my take. I dont need anyone telling me different. To each his own!

I just got a call from someone looking to buy bees from me and then administer himself.
He has RSD whatever that is and has done this before.
I want to help him but I not sure of the liability. Told him I would think about it.
How much would you charge someone for 25 or 30 bees?
How would you package them so he could get to them one at a time?
Yes, I would like to see an apitherapy forum.

This Monday is Earth Day, which for people like me means that for the past few weeks emails have been flooding in touting this new eco-friendly line and that new sustainability initiative; this new textile recycling opportunity and that new clean water commitment. Their arrival at this time each year has in recent times become a truth as reliable as death and taxes, and the fact that after hemlines go up, they come down.
As reliable is that, as the above starts happening, my own temperature starts to rise, and I begin muttering and banging the keyboard and otherwise acting highly irritated by fashion's muddling of the issues. My pet peeve is lexicographical flabbiness (sustainable manufacturing, for example, being different from sustainable business, though you can have an entire conversation with someone about "sustainability" before it becomes clear you are talking about two separate things), but it's also hard not to make snide comments about the fact that so many websites seem to equate Earth Day with the opportunity to create slideshows of models posing naked for Peta. I know it's no worse than Mother's day or Father's day or Valentine's day, but still. It seems like this cause, of all causes, should not be reduced to a marketing opportunity.
On the other hand: if it raises awareness as well as sales, is it bad?
This is what I was thinking the other day, anyway, when I happened upon one of this year's weirder Earth Day-related fashion moments: the May issue of L'Uomo Vogue, the Italian men's fashion magazine run by Italian Vogue chieftain Franca Sozzani. The theme of the publication (because these days glossy magazines love a theme) was eco-sustainability, which was predictable enough, given the timing, but the cover model was not: New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.
There he was, standing tall in suit and tie, chin raised, staring meaningfully forward. He looked pretty good. But he didn't look much like his cover colleagues on the news-stand – Beyoncé on UK Vogue, Emma Watson on GQ or Leonardo DiCaprio on Esquire. It was hard not to wonder what he was doing there.
After all, Mayor Bloomberg tends to like fashion in a municipal way, as opposed to a personal way (he often makes public jokes about his own poor dress sense, and famously alternated the same two pairs of dress shoes for 10 years).
Indeed, over his three terms he has done a lot to keep the industry in the city, from helping the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) find a home for fashion week at Lincoln Center; rewarding fashion moguls for their investment in real estate (he gave Ralph Lauren a symbolic "key to the city" at the opening of its enormous new "traditional" limestone flagship), and facilitating the city's Fashion's Night Out event. But he tends to do all this in his office; you don't see him, like Boris Johnson, pedalling around the city to demonstrate the genius of a bike-share scheme. So finding him on the cover of a style magazine primarily read in places very far from his city was a little odd.
At least until you read his interview, which was all about Bloomberg's work as chairman of C40 Cities, or the Climate Leadership Group, which is, according to their website, "a network of the world's megacities committed to addressing climate change". Fair enough.
However, in the piece itself I was struck by the fact that, while Bloomberg talks generally about the importance of greening up cities, he doesn't address any specifics about fashion and the urban environment – a subject one would think (OK, I would think) might be the natural meat of a discussion about sustainability in a fashion magazine.
He talked, for example, about the need for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but not the fact that a large chunk of the small businesses in New York are dry cleaners, which employ chemicals that are not exactly environmentally friendly; he talked about creating green buildings, but not changing consumption patterns; he talked about Hurricane Sandy and changing sea levels, but not about encouraging New Yorkers to run all their washing machines on cold cycles.
Which made me think of a few things about this conjunction of cover model, cause, and magazine, many of them, admittedly, cynical. To wit: first, that this was the usual example of a glossy magazine snagging a well-known figure for their cover by avoiding the complicated specifics, and said figure being attracted by the fact that fashion can be a fantastic springboard to the world of international glossy consumers.
Second, that maybe this was like Hollywood celebrities doing commercials in Japan (minus the giant fee, of course): appearing in an Italian publication saves Bloomberg the ribbing he might get for being on a fashion mag at home, and gets him in front of a different audience.
Third, that it also allows him to discuss an issue he cares about, free of the current speculation in New York concerning: 1) what he is going to do next, since his term is about to end; and 2) who will succeed him as mayor. Local fashion is already focused on the next occupant of City Hall, after all: last week I went to a lunch hosted by US Cosmopolitan for Christine Quinn, the city council speaker who is currently the leading candidate for the post-Bloomberg city, an event also attended by designers Derek Lam and Maria Cornejo, and jeweller Philip Crangi. Quinn wore (she revealed) a jacket from Elie Tahari and jewellery from Alexis Bittar and David Yurman, New York names all. But I digress.
Which is my point. On the one hand, I think it's good the L'Uomo Vogue cover actually made me stop whining and started thinking. But on the other hand, I'm not sure it made me think, ultimately, about the sort of stuff that Bloomberg and Sozzani intended. Or did it? I can't quite decide.

By S. Douglas Bunch
Associate, Cohen Milstein
On June 23, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Halliburton Co. v. Erica P. John Fund, Inc. ("Halliburton II"). In rejecting Halliburton's attempt to radically restrict the rights of investors, the Supreme Court affirmed the principles it announced over a quarter century ago in Basic v. Levinson, a decision that ensures investors have the opportunity to prove their claims—and those of other investors—in a class action.
Halliburton II had generated much anticipation and commentary due to its potential to threaten the continued viability of the fraud-on-the-market presumption of reliance recognized by the Court in Basic v. Levinson, 485 U.S. 224 (1988). Under the fraud-on-the-market presumption, publicly available information is assumed to be reflected in the market price of a stock, and, in turn, investors can be presumed to have relied on the information because their purchasing and sales decisions account for the price of the security. This eases the burden on investors, who need not show reliance on a defendant's misrepresentations when bringing suits for securities fraud.
The presumption is crucial in class actions. Justice Thomas, joined by Justices Scalia and Alito, wrote an acrimonious concurrence to the Court's opinion, in which he argued that Basic should have been overruled because "[l]ogic, economic realities, and our subsequent jurisprudence have undermined the foundations of the Basic presumption, and stare decisis cannot prop up the façade that remains." Had Justice Thomas's viewpoint prevailed, it might have meant the end of securities fraud class actions altogether, because without the Basic presumption, each individual investor in the class would have needed to demonstrate that he or she directly relied on the alleged misstatements when deciding to purchase or sell stock, making class certification in securities fraud cases nearly impossible.
However, in an important victory for investors, the Supreme Court in Halliburton II declined to overrule Basic and instead reaffirmed the principles underlying that decision. The Court rejected the arguments advanced by Halliburton that the fraud-on-the-market presumption is inconsistent with congressional intent, that the presumption is no longer justified by economic theory, and that the presumption is undermined by the notion that some investors do not rely on the integrity of the stock's market price.
The Court also squarely rejected Halliburton's policy arguments contending that Basic should have been overturned because of the supposed "harmful consequences" of securities class actions. The Court properly noted that the forum for addressing such concerns is Congress, not the courts. This portion of the Court's ruling will hopefully put an end to the repeated and baseless anti-investor policy arguments raised by defendants during litigation in an attempt to curtail investor rights.
The Court did adopt one of Halliburton's proposed alternatives to overruling Basic: defendants will now be allowed to attempt to rebut the presumption of reliance at the class certification stage by trying to present evidence that the misrepresentations did not affect the stock price. Defendants were already permitted to introduce such "price impact" evidence at the class certification stage to rebut a plaintiff's showing that the stock at issue traded in an efficient market, and could even introduce such evidence, at the merits stage, to defeat the presumption of reliance itself. All the Supreme Court's ruling in Halliburton II means is that defendants may now attack the presumption of reliance earlier, by submitting such evidence at class certification.
This changes very little. In fact, the Second and Third Circuit already allowed defendants to do just this. See, e.g., In re Salomon Analyst Metromedia Litig., 544 F.3d 474, 484 (2d Cir. 2008); In re DVI, Inc. Sec. Litig., 639 F.3d 623, 638 (3d Cir. 2011). The fact that the Supreme Court essentially just adopted the precedent of these Circuits should prevent defendants from attempting to make new arguments based on Halliburton II in those courts, and also defeat misleading arguments about the opinion's meaning, like the fallacious notion that plaintiffs must now show a price increase to demonstrate price impact.
Affirming the continued vitality of Basic and the efficient market theory that underpins Basic is a significant victory for investors. The procedural guidelines imposed by the Court keep the burden on defendants to attempt to rebut the presumption of reliance with evidence that the alleged misrepresentation did not impact the price of a defendant's stock. The ruling should not unduly restrict the rights of investors, and the conduct of securities class actions should not substantially change in the wake of the decision. Indeed, in her own concurrence, joined by Justices Breyer and Sotomayor, Justice Ginsburg made it clear that because the burden for demonstrating lack of price impact continues to rest solely on defendants, the Court's ruling "should impose no heavy toll on securities-fraud plaintiffs with tenable claims."
S. Douglas Bunch is a member of the Securities Fraud/Investor Protection practice group at Cohen Milstein. He is currently litigating multiple securities class actions.

Inside and out, this circa 1910 transitional villa has made quite a name for itself over the years.
Its front face has featured in a TV commercial for baby's nappies. The door between the hallway and the living area has had a cameo role in another commercial.
Outside, the towering oak tree that sold Lisa and Gareth Hedges on this appealing back garden can be seen from nearby Grey Lynn Park. The park is a popular focal point for neighbourhood families.
Much further back in its history, this home was a well-known party house - something Lisa and Gareth only learned when they moved here four years ago. Its popularity in the days when it was in two flats - and the fact that Lisa and Gareth learned all this from newfound friends at various children's parties here and in the neighbourhood - says a lot about this community's convivial spirit.
"We met up with people who'd been here at various parties and they'd look around and go, 'I've been to some really good parties here'," says Lisa.
Since then, the house has undergone a significant transformation. About six years ago, a developer converted the two flats back into a family home, thoughtfully making space for both an en suite and a separate dressing room off the main bedroom. A smart kitchen was installed and an elegant bathroom, complete with claw foot bath, was fitted out off the hallway close to both the living area and the children's bedrooms.
Lisa remembers thinking how lucky she and Gareth were to find a home with three double bedrooms as well as two bathrooms.
"Having an en suite bathroom as well as a big bathroom plus a walk-in wardrobe with all that storage was just great. We hadn't expected to get all that in a house that also had three bedrooms," she recalls.
"That felt quite grown-up really. That and having a big garden has been great," says Gareth.
At the time they'd sold their apartment in the Gluepot complex in Ponsonby and taken their two children, Harry, now almost 8, and Ruby, now 5, out house hunting. They'd spent 18 months looking closer at homes to the city because UK-born Gareth preferred city living and because they'd also owned a flat together in London 10 years ago.
When they ventured further afield and walked into this house they were captivated by its offerings indoors and out, including the towering oak tree, the deck and the flat, private back lawn.
They only needed to have curtains fitted across the two sets of French doors to the deck for winter warmth. In time, they replaced the roof, laid a new concrete driveway and front path and installed a lockable storage shed off the car parking area.
The inside of the house, with its bungalow details, has been a perfect fit, with bedrooms off either side of the central villa-style hallway and the living area's connection with the outdoors.
The kitchen includes a rear-wall laundry behind closed doors, a generous pantry and, on the opposite side, a granite bench that overlooks the garden and the stand-alone raised vegetable/herb garden on the deck. A mature loquat tree brings in the birds; a fine day and spare time brings Gareth outdoors to practise his golf chipping on the lawn.
Gareth and Lisa have decided to settle long term on the North Shore where Lisa grew up. Making the decision to shift has been the easy part. Letting go of their ties to this home and neighbourhood is proving a little harder.
"This house has been such a lovely size for us," says Lisa.
"We've loved being together as a family here and it is a breeze to keep clean, which is always nice."

I'm trying to picture that. Halloween, Aussie style, that is........
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm trying to picture that. Halloween, Aussie style, that is........
Oooooohhhhh - I am trying so hard to resist temptation, but keep "sauntering" past this thread. Must exercise willpower.... must remember how many important projects I have not completed....
There! I guilted (that's guilted, not quilted) myself into saying - I am going to have to sit this month out. BUT I'll be watching to see what you all create!
Lara B.
What SIT OUT!!! Are YOU sure?? lol
My little shinning stars. Brantley, Kaylynn, and Emmalee
I'm in Haloweenie please International. Do they have Halloween
Count me in. Halloween for me to
I love to collect roosters of any kind. I also love embroidery thread for my machine. My favorite color is purple and i am just a plain old country girl.lol
In Mexican culture they celebrate "Day of the Dead" A huge celebration with parades and festival like activities in the communities - on November 1st.
Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.
My youngest (step) daughters mother REFUSED to allow the girls to
acknowledge anything to do with Halloween (due to religion).
However in my eyes the only significance I acknowledged for Halloween
is it was the ONE day a year where kids could "beg" and not be looked
down upon for it. I PERSONALLY refuse to let any other acknowledgment
be associated with it.
But like I said that is just MY personal views for Halloween, I don't begrudge
anyone for their own views about it.
I like Halloween though. I have always wanted to have a big party with or
without costumes either way I just wanted to decorate.
Louise - Ya-ya to Zachary April 13 2015. I collect mugs from the U.S. and around the world. Also collect handmade pincushions, sewing/quilting themed fabrics, and fabric in general.

My person hasn't posted at all on here. And no info to go on in her message. Just have to use my imagination and hope she likes what I get her. Already have stuff for her and have lots of cute ideas to do!!!! I am so excited to be doing this!!! My 7 kitties are pestering the dog now since I am busy spending time in my sewing room, the dog is not so happy about this!!!! Big Baby he is (boxer/shepard who is terrified of the cats getting near him) But the cats have to have someone to love on!!!! Going shopping again this weekend!!!! That is the fun part!!!
This thread is growing by 3+ pages a day while I am at work.
Tomorrow I will be doing some more shopping and some crafting for my SS.
I have a general question (I know another one). Would you rather receive Christmas themed FQ or general ones? I have an idea of what I might do and tomorrow will be at the fabric shop.
I know I would love any FQ and themed ones could be lots of fun.
And I do not mind a bit of cat hair, so if you need to you can check out the post where I added a bit more info on me and just send the package my way.
I hope my SS does not mind a bit of pet hair. She did not list any allergies, so hopefully all is well.
My person didn't list any allergies either Tothill, so I am hoping whoever she is is not allergic to cats......
All my cats are rescues, I bottle fed two of them from the day they were born. At one point I had 10 cats and 3 dogs, have lost at least one every year. All my pets are over 10 years old now. Have two cats right now that have cancer, and just put our 17 year old Golden retriever mix down two months ago. I tend to take in older pets, and give the lots of love before they go to heaven. I found a 11-12 year old cat about 3 years ago outside my office, she has finally decided she loves me. Two years ago a friend found a 13-14 yr old english setter that I took in. She had cancer, heart, kidney issues, lived for a year but boy she was a happy dog!!! Animals are my passion!!!!
purtercat92-- i agree with you! i only have rescued animals. my dogs are cocker spaniels. i call them 'the ladies' as they are 7 and 8, so not young or old. my cats are 20 and 4, about. i know we will lose simon someday, but till then he is my buddy. it was love at first sight for both of us. tiger is 4ish and an orange marmalade . anybody who has had an orange cat knows they are all love! he comes from a home of abuse and neglect. simon has been mine since 4 months old and prior to that was with a doting foster mom, so gratefully has never been abused in any way. i would love more but the 'ranger' (dh) says we have a full house. don't want to hoard, just hate pets in cages and without loved ones. i always want to adopt the oldest animals but dh won't let me because i will cry when they pass. aren't they entitled to at least that?
if my santa needs more info it's easy! i love brights, batiks, and romantic fabrics. i'm collecting cowboy prints, mostly juvenile. i adore kaffe fassett, amy butler, modern quilts and art quilts, jason yenter,and valori wells. and i love snickerdoodles!!!
I have been busy collecting up items for my SS. I almost have everything, just one or two more items and then I should be ready to send it off. Oh Oh, just remembered need a couple more items, my Pal has a furbaby, or is it furbabies?? can't forget them now can we. Off to the store again I go. I wonder what their favorite treat is?? Mine like duck jerky from Costco. Don't think the reindeer would like that though.
secret santa.... First a vist to the local quilt shop $20 plus in 4 Fat Quarters, a couple of neutal cotton threads, and a small kit that includes a pattern and fabrics... ready to make. Quality over quanity ... is so simple and easy when you go to the quilt shop first! then add couple of handmade items, candy, ornament or holiday items... now thats the package my secret santa wants, as per her wish list. I do think she will be very happy when she opens her Holiday box!
I guess I am one who didn't list any wants or needs. I love Civil War fabrics and Christmas Fabrics. I love anything someone sends me. Love Christmas ornaments but really I love surprises!!!!!!!!!!
[QUOTE=mdall;5564323]okay, evidentally my partner doesnt post much. Still need info in order to make the box from santa really special.
same here.nothing at all....I guess she wants to be completely surprised but was hoping for a few hints......nice to be surprised but even nicer when that surprise is something that one really wants.....
soooooo, please, if you are a Santaee who didn't give many clues or any inklings to what is on your wish list.......
times-a'running-out !!!!!
Do it NOW...........please!

In light of recent visits by suspicious persons wanting to sell a HK P30, I thought I would look for a better deal and it didn't take long to find:
I am not affiliated in any way with the auction, I just know these things go for $850 and right now this baby is going for $650. I thought I would share with the good people of this forum. Hell, I'd be bidding on it if I didn't already have a 9mm compact! :smt022
I couldn't think of a more appropriate place to mention this.
Anyways, good luck to those of you who choose to bid on this thing; it's an incredible deal, at least right now... :)

Decided to put up some numbers today, so I took a little detour on my way back to Hayward from Owen. Was behind "drhaas" and "Gully" something or other all day. Nice to stay away from the hunters today, and nice to see a series commemorating these American heroes. TFTC.

Jeff Triplette will be reffing our game against the Saints this weekend. I think you all know who he is, but in case you don't, he is AWFUL. And that's putting it lightly. Every game he refs, calls are butchered. And you can guarantee to see more of the same this weekend.
Triplette last reffed our game at home against Green Bay last season when we lost 38-35. I think you all remember BS calls against us in that game, including the Jake Ballard TD being ruled out of bounds.
I knew we would see him at some point or another this year. Well looks like this week is our turn to suffer.

The Truth About Pit Bulls
"Pit Bull." There is no other breed of dog--or arguably, any other animal at all--whose mere mention can elicit such strong opinions. Try a word-associate game with your friends: Ask them what they think of when you say "Pit Bull." Chances are that by the numbers, their responses will be more negative than positive. And it's no wonder: No other type of dog is as widely banned from housing, legislated against, or incorrectly vilified by the media.
How did we get here?
Pit Bulls were once widely considered ideal family pets--affectionate, loyal and gentle with children. But in recent years, these dogs have suffered tremendously from a combination of overbreeding, bad publicity and irresponsible owners. In reality, the overwhelming majority of Pits and Pit mixes are sweet goofballs who have gotten a very bad rap.
Learn the truth.
National Pit Bull Awareness Day, on October 27, is a day of appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their responsible owners. Please take a moment to learn the truth about these wonderful dogs and consider rescuing one of them from a shelter.
Are you a proud Pit Bull parent? Please participate in National Pit Bull Awareness Day, and help us dispel the myths about these dogs by leaving a comment below about your wonderful pooch.

text: I understand that my job allows me to spent more time on the internet than most people but I am disappointed to see that this forum is not used more often. This forum should be a literal "hive" of activity. So much information could be passed back and forth between beekeepers, young and old alike. I have been keeping bees for 5 years and have learned a great deal in that time, but I know there are beekeepers out there with much more knowledge than I have and new beekeepers that are looking to learn from us all. I would like to see more of the 256 registered members post on this forum. Lets all take some extra time and talk, swap stories, trade secrets, ask questions, help each other out. I am always interested in how other beekeepers are doing in different areas of the country and the world. Don't hold back, this is a great opportunity here, lets not waste it. Thanks for listening. Happy beekeeping!!

Shea Estate Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard 2009
Pinot Noir from Yamhill-Carlton District, Willamette Valley, Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
#7 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2012
The fruit to make this wine was harvested from throughout Shea Vineyard. The wine has a deep ruby-red color. Beautiful floral notes define the wine's wonderful bouquet. On the palate are flavors of cherry and dark red berry complimented by sweet spices and a rich texture with fine grain tannins.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Supple, rich and complex, layering its dark berry, black cherry, pink grapefruit and exotic spice flavors on a velvety frame, the finish lingering effortlessly. Drink now through 2019."
Shea Wine Cellars Winery
Shea Vineyard, located in the Yamhill Foothills of Oregon's Willamette Valley, was first planted to wine grapes by Dick Shea in 1989 and 1990. Today the vineyard property consists of 200 hillside acres of which 140 are planted to wine grapes, largely Pinot Noir and a few acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The south facing vineyard sits in a viticultural region called the Willakenzie District. The soil of the vineyard is shallow and very well draining with sandstone subsoil. The vineyard has never been irrigated.
Currently the winery supplies several top Pinot Noir producers in Oregon (Archery Summit, Beaux Freres, Ken Wright, Panther Creek, and St. Innocent) and one in California (Sine Qua Non). The Wine Enthusiast in its annual review of Oregon wines in December 2000, wrote, "It is no coincidence that our two top rated wines... were made from fruit from Richard Shea's perennially superb Willamette Valley vineyard."

About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley is a number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About OregonOregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

Cover Story
Tucked-away treasures: Inside Marquette's hidden places
By Nicole Sweeney Etter Illustrations by Marla Campbell
You think you know every inch of Marquette's 94 acres? So did we. But for all the thousands of students, faculty members and visitors who traipse across our campus annually, there remain a few places just waiting to be explored. Let us introduce you to some of the university's most intriguing, rarely seen spots.
Sacristy of St. Joan of Arc Chapel
The back room of the St. Joan of Arc Chapel is off-limits to everyone but authorized personnel. But chapel guide Irene Wesolowski let us take a peek. The sacristy is home to one of the chapel's most special relics, three antique vestments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Made of exquisite, hand-embroidered silk, velvet and brocade, the garments are tucked away in drawers. One violet garment shows signs of wear probably from years of priests leaning against a stone altar, Wesolowski says. The cabinet that holds the vestments is itself a work of art made of ornate, carved solid walnut. The cabinets and other carved wooden panels in the room were a gift from the estate of Harry Grant, former owner and publisher of the Milwaukee Journal. Grant's ancestors brought the wood from England in 1804, but it is believed to date back before 1750. The sacristy's original window and old chandelier did not survive the test of time, but a new window was created in 1930 by Charles Connick, at that time considered the world's leading stained-glass artist. The chandelier was created to replicate the design of the original chandelier. If you visit the sacristy, don't forget to ask why the armadillo door knocker is on the inside.
Grid above the Evan P. and Marion Helfaer Theatre
To the audience, it appears as if scenery is whisked into the ether. But real work is happening some 50 feet above the stage. It's called "the grid," and it's an elaborate rigging system of 33 fly lines, pulleys and heavy weights used to counterbalance the scenery below. The rigging system was designed by Jay Glerum, a former Marquette professor now known as the guru of stage rigging. "It's physics in action," says Stephen Hudson-Mairet, chair of the Department of Performing Arts. "Except we don't call it physics it scares the artists." Getting to the grid might be even scarier. To reach the loading rail, a catwalk just below the grid, requires scrambling up several flights of narrow winding stairs, some just a few inches wide. Peer over the rail and you have a bird's-eye view of the stage. Stage hands aren't the only ones who need to get up this high. A few years ago, the university constructed an open mesh walkway across the grid for maintenance workers to access the roof.
Jes Res Garden
Behind Marquette's Jesuit Residence is a true urban oasis. Sheltered from busy Wisconsin Avenue by a thick wall of evergreens, the Stuessi Garden is only visible from the back of the Jes Res and some offices in the Alumni Memorial Union. After Wisconsin's winter fades, the garden comes to life with bright daffodils, iris, creeping phlox and flowering trees. Water cascades into a tranquil pond that's home to the occasional duck, and stray cats and scores of birds join the Jesuits who wander the garden's meandering path. Rev. James Flaherty, S.J., rector of the Jesuit community, says the garden once had a church-shaped birdhouse, a joke that especially tickled the Jesuits when cardinals came to roost. Though the church-birdhouse is gone, the Jesuits make sure to keep other birdfeeders filled for any feathered visitors. Mary Joan Stuessi, Nurs '53 and Grad '64, donated the garden in 1990 in honor of her parents, John and Esther Stuessi. Marquette's groundskeeping crew maintains the sanctuary. The garden's gates are occasionally left open so guests can peek inside during special events, including new-employee convocation.
Basement of the Haggerty
A visit to the Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art is like witnessing the tip of the iceberg: In fact, less than 1 percent of the permanent collection is on display because of a shortage of exhibition space. The bulk of the museum's 4,500 pieces resides in the basement, including everything from Henri Matisse prints to an Andy Warhol canvas. Even the museum's best-known piece, Salvador Dali's "Madonna of Port Lligat," was recently taken off display and placed into storage. "Our job is to constantly rotate," says Wally Mason, museum director. "You make sacrifices, but you have to be thinking long term." Paintings hang on sliding rows of chainlink fence in one room, and smaller pieces are carefully preserved in flat file drawers. "Each one of these flat files is just a treasure trove of objects," Mason says. The basement is also where the Haggerty staff prepares artwork for display, storage and shipping. The basement collection is rarely seen by anyone other than museum staff and the occasional behind-the-scenes tour, but that may change once the museum completes a basement observation room for visiting groups.
The Carillon Bell Tower
Mark Konewko taps his fists and feet on the wooden batons and foot pedals of the carillon, causing the bells to reverberate above and below this little nook atop Marquette Hall. At first it's soothing Easter music, then the more stirring "Ring Out Ahoya." Though the carillon's music is familiar to everyone on campus, few have made the climb up the narrow, winding stairs to see the instrument perched there high above Wisconsin Avenue. "It's quite a different experience being in here than it is hearing it below," Konewko says. "It's kind of a special place to be." The playing chamber is enclosed by rough, multicolored bricks and tall windows. No matter the weather, Konewko keeps his Wednesday afternoon date with the carillon and leaves the door open in case any curious listeners decide to wander up. "Students have always been interested in the carillon, and once they come up, they usually come back," he says. The bell tower has been part of Marquette Hall since it opened in 1924, but the bells didn't arrive until 1964. The 48-bell carillon is one of just three in Wisconsin. The bells were cast in France and, Konewko says, have a warmer, more sonorous sound than bells cast in England.

I've had one for about 18 months and think it is an outstanding gun.
About 2 years ago, CZ decided to take the CZ 40B slide, mate it to a PO1 frame and came up with the 40P. For all practical purposes, it's the PO1 in 40 S&W. It was intended as a limited production gun (1,500 or so) but I guess they proved so popular, CZ still makes them. I paid $280 NIB for mine, but they seem to have gone up in price along with their popularity.
I think you'll be happy with it. Try going to CZFORUM.COM (one of the more popular CZ forums) and see what the owners of 40P's say about it.

I will continuously update the process. I have started a rescape thread to share with everyone interested. It's titled "My ever-evolving tank".
Have fun doing your rescape Are you going to dedicate a thread to your rescape? Hope so. I love following others journey's with their aquarium hobby.

Thank you Kathy, but I already started! I have added new substrate to half of the tank and plan on doing the other half in 3 or 4 days. The fish LOVE the new substrate as odd as that sounds! They all are hanging out on the "new" half. The other substrate is natural gravel and the new stuff is Black Echo Complete. I was planning on capping it with the natural gravel I scooped out of the tank, but everyone seems to like the "black" so much better that I think I will not cap it. I'll see what I think in the next week after the whole tank is covered in the black Echo Complete.
Thanks again!
My very first BBA attack was after a rescape without doing something about the debris floating everywhere. When you take everything out, rescape, fill part way, empty to the substrate and refill very carefully there isn't much debris.
I am the world's worst fish catcher but doing a major upheaval in the tank with the fish in there isn't happening here any more.
You cannot see what you are doing either.
Look around for bins you may already have that a filter will hang on. Buy a sponge filter you can stick in the main tank a week before a rescape. Don't feed the fish the day before and the day after the job.
|Amandas tank
Thank you for your input When I upgraded to this tank from a 30 gallon, I had put the fish in buckets with airstones. Fliters and heaters didn't fit, so I was extremely stressed out! I worked as fast as I could. All the fish made it thankfully. I just had a mini-break down from stress afterward though LOL!
So, I do think if I can avoid taking all the fish out during the rescape, I would refer it. Sounds like maybe I can do this safely...
Buying a new tank Ha Ha! If only my husband liked the fish as much as I do! He is NOT happy with my tank I have now, so if I added another, I think I'd be "the fish" in the tank (jk He thinks it's all a huge waste of money. I had an opportunity to get a 180 gallon with filters, driftwood, lights and fish for only $300, but he refused to allow such a big tank in the house. I was quite dissapointed, and honestly still am
Since someone agrees with my suggested method, I will go with it. So, half the tank at a time.
Thank you!
|I would buy a whole new tank do fishless cycle and move it after youre done =]!! then you have two tanks!
|I would break it up into sections and do it each a few days apart. Sort of like what you suggested by doing half at a time.
|I would drain everything and keep the fish in a bucket with your filter running.

How to rescape an established tank
I have rescaped a small 20 gallon tank before, but now I have a much larger tank with bigger fish. I am not sure how I should go about rescaping it. I need to add more substrate, and I understand that messing with substrate will kill off beneficial bacteria. So, I am thinking I need to do one side at a time a week apart. Is this right? I also will be adding driftwood and various sized rocks. And later, more plants. Will I need to wait to add the hardscape or can I do it as I work on the substrate? Can I do this safely with my fish in the tank or do they need to be removed first?
