The Tennessee Volunteers remained second in the ITA national team rankings following their three shutout victories to capture last week's SEC Tournament championship.
The Vols (26-1) swept No. 4 Florida 4-0 on Sunday to win their first SEC Tournament title since 2002. Tennessee also won the regular-season conference trophy by going 11-0 in league play.
Junior John-Patrick Smith finished 3-0 at the No. 1 singles position last week for the Vols to earn tournament MVP honors and stayed in the top spot in the ITA singles rankings for the third consecutive polling period.
The ITA rankings are computer generated, and according to the numbers, the Vols came mere decimal points from matching No. 1 Virginia. The Cavaliers had a rating of 78.92; Tennessee was .04 away at 78.88.
Virginia (35-1) is the only team to defeat the Vols this season, beating Tennessee 4-1 in the final of the ITA National Team Indoor Championship on Feb. 15 in Charlottesville, Va. Virginia won the ACC Tournament on Sunday, courtesy of a 4-2 win against Duke. The Cavs' lone loss this year came against Kentucky, a team the Vols defeated 6-1 in Knoxville.
As winners of their respective conference tournaments, Tennessee and Virginia received automatic bids into the NCAA Championships. The team tournament draw will be released May 4, and first-round matches begin May 15.
The NCAA individual singles and doubles draws will be available May 5. Last season, Smith and senior Davey Sandgren reached the finals of the doubles tournament. As a freshman in 2008, Smith was a finalist in singles.
In Singles
Smith, the Vols' first No. 1-ranked player in 17 years, continued to build on his already stellar year at the SEC Tournament. He was the only Vol to lock away singles wins all three days of the tournament and improved to 38-6 as a junior.
He collected his fifth win over a top-10 opponent this season, defeating No. 5 Alexandre Lacroix 6-2, 6-1 in the championship match.
Junior Boris Conkic clinched two matches for the Vols at the No. 2 position and joined Smith with SEC All-Tournament honors. Despite his undefeated performance against a pair of ranked opponents, he dropped two spots to No. 39 in the rankings.
Freshman Rhyne Williams, who is second on the team with a 34-6 record, rose three positions to No. 41. The Knoxville native is currently tied for fifth on the Vols' freshman single-season wins list. Fellow freshman Tennys Sandgren is on a team-leading 12-match winning streak and moved up one spot to No. 113.
Senior Matt Brewer, who has not played in four weeks, remained ranked at No. 116.
And in Doubles
Smith and Davey Sandgren returned two positions in the rankings to second, thanks to a 2-0 record against top 30 opponents at the SEC Tournament. They defeated Florida's then-No. 14 Lacroix and Antoine Benneteau 8-3 to help the Vols win the doubles point.
Conkic and Williams moved up one spot to seventh after going 2-0 last week. They have a 31-3 record this season, which is good for a winning percentage of .912. They have compiled a 22-1 record in dual matches, all but one match at the No. 2 position.
Conkic and Smith, winners of October's ITA All-American Championships, stayed in the top 10 as a team at No. 8.

Hi all,
I've just tried out my external usb HDD with the pi running Raspbmc.
Obviously the pi can't power the HDD alone, so I have a splitter cable with one (data) plug going to the pi and the other (power) going to my laptop. All was well until I wanted to shutdown so I pulled out the power supply from the pi and it stayed on! I was looking at the thing wondering how it was still running without power then realised the usb was still providing some power.
Should the pi function like this? Is it dangerous supplying power INTO the pi via a usb out connection?
Power the pi via the data usb?
7 posts
There's a fair bit of discussion on the subject here viewtopic.php?f=29&t=8261, but the general consensus is it's not good to power into the data connectors.
Not a good idea as the voltage leaking down the data cable is quite variable, and so could damage your HDD and pi as it will dip below the required voltage suddenly. I noticed this when using a powered hub. You may wish to tape off the far RH pin (5v pin) (looking at the USB with the gap at the top) when using a USB device which is powered externally. Just use a thin piece of insulation tape over this pin will stop voltage leaking back into the Pi's USB ports, and should still allow power to the HDD, although a powered hub would probably be better.

If you are powering the Pi via the hub then the easiest thing to do is remove the power from the hub rather than the Pi.

I find it hard to believe that should be necessary. Surely both the external device and the Pi have been designed to be usable in such circumstances. I use mine with a Seagate external powered USB drive and it seems to be fine.
Surely a powered hub is a different beast to an externally powered HDD designed to work over USB?
Or are we saying there is a design fault in the Pi here?
I don't understand the issue.

Yes they're different, but he's taking the power for the HDD from his laptop via a Y cable that's connected to the Pi on the other leg.
So it ain't the HDD that's supplying the power when it shouldn't, it's the Y cable that's supplying power from the laptop back up the Pi's input - cos it can't help it, being just a bit of wire!
Solution 1: mangle the Y cable so it doesn't send power down the data leg
Solution 2: remove F1 or F2 (whichever is relevent) on the Pi
Of note: If the proper power route for the Pi is another PSU - not the same laptop - the two PSUs will be fighting. Probably, F1/2 will shortly die, removing the problem

Recent weeks have seen gas prices dropping, even in the Rainbow State — where fuel costs rank among the country's highest. In Honolulu, prices have dipped below $4 per gallon, making conditions ripe for cruising the scenic Kamehameha Highway to hit out-of-town attractions on a self-guided loop that'll have you back on the beach for dinner. Fuel up and say aloha to cheap Hawaiian vacations with these Oahu attractions:
USS Arizona Memorial
Paying respects to lives lost during the infamous attack that brought World War II to American soil marks a somber beginning to an otherwise carefree day on the road, but visiting early makes sense. Timed programs run from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. and waits aren't uncommon. Being first will have you there before many of the tour buses arrive.
Kualoa Ranch
About 45 minutes from the memorial, this isn't merely the unspoiled Hawaiian paradise you've dreamt of, it's the one you've seen. This 4,000-acre working cattle ranch has hosted shoots for projects including "Jurassic Park," "Lost" and "Magnum, P.I." Kualoa has its own private beach and offers myriad tours (hiking, ATV, water-based and more) on which you can explore its history and magnificent terrain. Adult prices start as lowas $15.
Dole Plantation
A spectacular hour-long coastal cruise will wend you around the northern tip of Oahu, bringing you to the famed plantation that began as a roadside fruit stand in 1950. Ride the Pineapple Express train, take a Plantation Garden Tour or, depending how long you want to stay, get lost in the vast Pineapple Garden Maze, billed as the world's largest. Finish among the fastest and you'll win a prize. Admission is free and the above activities are a la carte. Adult costs for all three total just $19.
Where to stay: The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, built on the former estate of a Polynesian royal, welcomes guests interested in cultural immersion. On-site activities include lei-making, ukelele lessons and pineapple carving. The Holiday Inn Waikiki, just two blocks from the beach, also offers access to serious shopping: Macy's on the on the first floor, and the International Marketplace is next door. The Aqua Waikiki Pearl offers a quiet, budget-friendly stay just steps the Royal Hawaiian Center.

Great joke keep them coming
One dark night in the small town in Garfield , NJ ,
a fire started inside the local sausage factory.
In a blink the building was engulfed in flames.
The alarm went out to all the fire departments
for miles around.
When the first volunteer fire fighters appeared
on the scene, the sausage company president
rushed to the fire chief and said, 'All of our
secret sausage recipes are in the vault in the
center of the plant. They have to be saved,
so I will donate $50,000 to the fire company
that brings them out and delivers them to me.'
But the roaring flames held the firefighters off.
Soon more fire departments had to be called in
because the situation became desperate. As the
firemen arrived, the president that the offer to
extricate the secret recipes was now $100,000
to the fire department that could save them.
Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was heard
as another fire truck came into sight. It was the
fire engine of the nearby Lodi , NJ . The volunteer
fire department composed mainly of Italian
firefighters over the age of 65.
To everyone's amazement, the little run-down
fire engine, operated by these Italian firefighters,
passed fire engines parked outside the plant, and
drove straight into the middle of the inferno.
Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement
as the Italian old timers jumped off and began to
fight the fire as if they were fighting to save their
own lives. Within a short time, the Lodi old timers
had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes.
The grateful sausage company president joyfully
announced that for such a superhuman accomplishment
he was raising the reward to $200,000, and walked
over to personally thank each of the brave elderly
Italian firefighters.
A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event
on film. The 'on camera' reporter asked the Italian
fire chief,
'What are you going to do with all that money?'
'Wella,' said Chief Pasquale De Luccinelli,
the 70-year-old fire chief, 'de fursta tinga we gonnna
do isza fixa de brakes on dat fockinna truck!!'
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand

At Wimbledon six weeks ago, Marion Bartoli lifted her first Grand Slam title and claimed she was hungry for more. But today, at just 28 years old, she stunned fans by announcing her retirement from the sport.
Last night she lost 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to Romanian Simona Halep, ranked 25 in the world, in the second round at Cincinnati — a preparation event for the US Open — and tearfully announced her decision to quit straight afterwards.
She said: "It's never easy and obviously there is never a time to say it but that was actually the last match of my career. Sorry. It's time for me to retire and to call it a career. I feel it's time for me to walk away. My body, I just can't do it anymore."
The announcement came out of the blue, given that after her maiden Grand Slam triumph, she announced: "Now that I have one, I definitely believe I can get more of them."
More recently Bartoli has been speaking of her hopes at the US Open, which starts at the end of the month. Last year she reached the quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows, her best performance in New York. But after a series of injuries, including an achilles problem which had particularly troubled her on hard courts, the French No1 decided to go.
She explained: "You never kind of know before it's going to be your last match but I felt that way after the match. I felt I just couldn't do this anymore. After one set, my whole body was in pain. Everyone will remember my Wimbledon title. No one will remember the last match. There are so many things to do in life rather than playing tennis, so I'm sure I will find something.
"I felt I gave all the energy I have left inside my body at Wimbledon. I have pain everywhere after 45 minutes or an hour of play I've been doing this for so long. It's just body wise I just can't do it anymore."
Bartoli's victory at Wimbledon was somewhat overshadowed by remarks made by BBC presenter John Inverdale, who said she was "never going to be a looker". That comment, made before the final, sparked hundreds of complaints to the BBC, with culture secretary Maria Miller writing to the BBC asking for comments on female athletes to be "positive and inclusive".
Bartoli herself said she had never dreamed of being a model, only of winning Wimbledon.
Bartoli spent 13 years on the gruelling WTA tour, and won her first Grand Slam at the 47th attempt, a record.
She added: "It's hard to explain but when you dreamed about something for so long and you have been on the tour for many, many, many years and you have been through up and downs and high and lows.
"My body was really starting to fall apart and I was able to keep it together, go through the pain and make it happen. That was probably the last little bit of something that was left inside me. I made my dream a reality and it will stay with me forever."

The appartement is very close to the city and you can reach everything quickly.
But I think it's better for two people, than for five like it's said
The owner waited for us in the apartment because we arrived at 23:00 at night, the apartment worth every euro and it was very well situaded a 9/10. Thank you 4 all.
Lovely, clean and equipped apartment! we hope to return as soon as possible!!
A beautiful, spacious apartment, which offers pretty much everything you need for a city break. The location is great because you really have to overcome only small or shorter distances to reach the sights of Prague. Jan, the host, is a very sociable person. All in all, it is recommended to the very flat!
Eine schöne, geräumige Wohnung, die so ziemlich alles bietet, was man für einen Städtetrip benötigt. Auch die Lage ist hervorragend, da man wirklich nur kleine bzw. kleinere Distanzen überwinden muss, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten Prags zu erreichen. Jan, der Gastgeber, ist ein sehr umgänglicher Mensch. Alles in allem ist die Wohnung sehr zu empfehlen!
The hosts were very flexible with the time to pick up the keys and we simply dropped them in the mailbox on our way out. The apartment was big - great for 2 couples - we only stayed a couple nights but could have stayed much longer. Location was perfect too.
Apartments in a great location and very spacious. The kitchen with new furnishings and fully equipped, the only flaw a bit comfortable mattresses. In complex advice.
Appartamenti in ottima posizione e molto spazioso. La cucina con arredi nuovi e completamente accessoriata, l'unica pecca materassi un pò comodi.

That Time Ken Jeong Opened Up A Doctor's Office In A Strip Club
There's a lot of prerequisites that go into this one—not only do you have to, you know, have an MD, but you also have to be as crazy as Ken Jeong. With "Project X: Party Legends," you can find out about the insane shit that goes on behind closed doors in Hollywood. To see what could happen behind your own doors, check out Project X, Now Playing.
1. Ken Jeong's craziest party story:
The idea is innocent enough: throw a party that no one will forget…. But yours probably wouldn't involve doctors "feeling up" strippers (to check for breast cancer, of course). Like Tyler's story, "Project X" is a warning to parents and police everywhere. Experience the event that will turn losers into legends in "Project X", Now Playing.

Today is the last day of action for dozens of lawyers in B.C. who are protesting a lack of support for people who can't afford a lawyer.
But the group responsible says this is just the beginning.
At least 100 lawyers in Vancouver and Kamloops refused to take legal aid clients for the past five weeks in a bid to squeeze more funding out of the province.
"The courtroom's been a lot slower."
Ben Doyle with the Trial Lawyers Association of BC says they've planned more withdrawals for the first week of the month, starting in October, until the end of 2015. Lawyers from Abbotsford, Victoria and other areas will join those from Kamloops and Vancouver who have already been protesting.
"Too many people are self-represented litigants simply because they've not qualified for legal aid. The reason they can't qualify is it's too hard to qualify. And too few services are covered."
Some cases were thrown out during a similar withdrawal two years ago because no attorneys were available.

Brand at the Moment
There's a grocery chain with stores near my house and work that I've boycotted on and off for the last several years. It has nothing to do with their politics, prices or selection. Instead it all comes down to customer service.
I'm reminded of a concept I first learned about from Phil Cooke. Basically anyone in your organization can be your brand at any moment.
Sometimes the brand at the moment for the grocery chain is the customer service worker who's more focused on a conversation with another employee about the terrible upcoming work schedule than helping me as a customer. Other times, it's the friendly employee stocking the shelves that helps me find something. Both experiences factor in to how I perceive this brand. And because it's mixed, and the bad stands out in my mind more than the good, I often take my shopping dollars elsewhere even if it's less convenient.
In a church setting, that means the way greeters act, volunteers help or preachers teach have an impact on how people perceive your church at that moment. It's shaping their opinion of who you are.
As churches, it's important for us to think about how we're interacting with guests, and members, across all the touch points they encounter when spending time with us. How does your administrative assistant handle a phone call? Are your greeters actually greeting people or talking with their friends? Do volunteers at the welcome desk know what's actually going on this weekend to help direct people to the right place? Are you being unnecessarily polarizing in the things you're saying?
Everything you do as a church communicates something so why not be intentional about it? People are making impressions about your church based on their interactions with you whether you're thinking about this stuff or not. So isn't it better to do things with a reason? Wouldn't you rather put your best impression forward for a guest? Don't you want members to go to a church they're proud to share with people?

The Lumix G3 is the latest model in Panasonic's compact, DSLR-like Micro Four Thirds range. It's considerably smaller and lighter than its predecessor the G2 and sports an all-new 16MP sensor, the same super-fast autofocus system as used by the GH2, a 3-inch articulated monitor that offers responsive touch-screen control over the camera, and Full HD movie recording capabilities.
The G3 sits above the G2 in the G-series range but doesn't actually replace it. Instead the G2 remains in the range, replacing the now discontinued G10 as the budget Micro Four Thirds option. Alongside the G2, the G3 is further book-ended by the high-end GH2 and slimline GF2.
With an official launch price of £630, pre-orders from reputable online retailers are already popping up offering the G3 body with a 14-42mm kit lens for around £600. And as is often the case we expect some further discounting may occur after the G3 has been out for a month or two.
From being a relatively new and therefore niche market that was created and dominated by Panasonic and Olympus with their joint Micro Four Thirds platform, the compact system camera market has since evolved into a much more mass market affair, with new manufacturers keen to join the party and launch their own models. It's therefore a much tougher market to dominate than it was 18 months ago. Panasonic clearly understands this and hopes the G3 will keep the company at the top of the micro system pile.
To do so it'll have to compete directly against rival micro system models such as the new 14.6MP Samsung NX11 that uses a larger APS-C sized sensor and can be picked up for around £500, and the 14.2MP Sony NEX-5 that also uses an APS-C sensor and can be bought for about £550.
It's also possible to source a very well specified entry-level DSLR for around £600, although you will of course incur a size and weight penalty over the purposely compact and easy-to-carry micro system genre - such is the penalty of a proper optical viewfinder and the optics that go with it.
Does the G3 have what it takes to take its competitors on and win? Let's take a closer look and find out.

Earlier in October, it was revealed that British developer Darren Jones had developed an app that could stealthily capture snaps from the self-destructing messaging app Snapchat.
The app, called Snaphack, allows Snapchat users to discretely save messages that would otherwise be deleted after a certain timeframe.
While saving screenshots of snaps is already possible, Snapchat alerts the sender that their message has been saved by a recipient. Snaphack removes this warning signal and means that the sender is not warned that their self-destructing message will exist for perpetuity.
It's not known how long Snaphack will be allowed to keep running or if it will be removed from popular app stores but as its developer explains:
"my app just proves and informs people that these apps exist and people need to be careful."
This is a very important point, and one we raised as far back as January this year. Snapchat and other apps like it are not fool proof. Whether it is with Snaphack or another app (like SnapSave), people will always find ways of saving embarrassing images.
There's plenty of joy to be had from self-destructing messaging apps like Snapchat, they afford us the ability to be impulsive, silly and in many ways more "real" with our digital communications as they won't (or at least should be) around for posterity.
Here are my three golden rules for using apps like Snapchat so that it doesn't come back and embarrass you.
Be nice.
Just because you assume a message will self destruct, doesn't mean you should become a nasty person. It's common knowledge that people are meaner when communicating through technology and self-destructing evidence will likely only increase that. Don't become a bully just because you think you won't get caught.
Be spontaneous, not stupid.
I've spoken before about how dumb it is to send naked selfies across the web and that hasn't changed. The news that there are apps that allow people to discretely save your nude snaps should be lesson enough that this is never a good idea.
Don't be part of the problem.
It's no surprise that apps like Snaphack have arrived to stop our snaps disappearing but I would argue that it undermines the whole spirit of apps like Snapchat. If you do want to save a hilarious snap of your buddy wearing a Cher wig, then by all means do so, but make sure you do it in a way that alerts them to the fact. If we're all squirreling away self-destructing messages in secret, we may as well all move back to WhatsApp or MSN (RIP).

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|A few hours
|*This costume is now retired*
"Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?"
sjbonnar bought me a Time-Turner for Christmas giving me a excuse to do this version of Hermione. However I'm not sure I can pull off looking 13...
"Hermione Granger received a Time-Turner from Professor McGonagall in 1993, so that she could attend more classes in her third year than time would allow. Since McGonagall made her swear to not tell anyone about it, she did not mention it to Harry or Ron until the end of the school year, when she and Harry used it to travel back in time and save Sirius Black and Buckbeak from certain death. Special permission from the Ministry of Magic had to be sought to allow Hermione to use one, but her academic record ensured that permission was given."
~Please see my journals for more details on the construction of this costume as well as progress photos~
The hoody, t-shirt and trainers were bought from ebay. I made some alterations to the hoody and trainers.
The jeans came from a charity shop and had some detailing removed.
The belt was made by combining two smaller ones together and changing the buckle.
The wig was bought from a wig store and I slightly trimmed the ends.
Her wand and Time-Turner are official Noble Collection replicas.
Crookshanks is the official plush from the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Tour.
I got Hermione finished in time for my second trip to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter. I wanted photos on the Hogwarts bridge now that they had opened it up! This costume is mainly made up of pre-made/ shop bought clothing that just needed a few modifications which only took me a few hours over 2 days to complete so no challenge with this one really. It was mainly an excuse to show off some of my replica items.
Wore again later that same week (23rd February 2013) for a photo shoot with PaperTiger at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. We didn't stay for too long unfortunately as it was freezing but I hope to return some time when the weather is warmer.
After experimenting with make-up to make her look a little bloody and beat-up (as she is when going back in time to rescue Sirius) I wore her to the London Film and Comic Con 2013 but didn't get many photos so I did the wound make-up again for a private shoot in a local park.
After seeing your original Hermione cosplay, you'll have no trouble with this at all :)
Hopefully not as it will be pretty much all store bought ^^' Will need a different wig though.
Thanks for the faith hun =)
That looks really good, well done! ^_^
Thanks =) Will have some better photos soon
I thought the second picture of you and the cast in the window was a reference snapshot from the film really awesome cosplay
So...I'm dating Hermione huh...?
raven4000- It was taken on the actual Hogwarts bridge used during filming =)
I'm glad you like the costume!
This is perfect! And such a beautiful photoshoot at the tour. :D
I am loving the photos! Your wig is just perfect as well!
Thanks =) Her hair is awkward as it gradually turns blonde over the course of the films ><
This is amazing!
This is really great :D really well thought out and you look amazing! :)
Thank you! I'm really pleased people like this =)
Fantastic Hermione. You look great.
Thank you Sephirayne, than means a lot =)
You're the spitting image of Emma Watson! Awesome cosplay :)
I think the makeup test looks awesome! Well done!
Love the make up test sweetie :) can't await to see you! you are such a lovely Hermione! :) xxx

Post Shrieking Shack make up (Posted 1st July 2013)
To make the costume a bit more interesting I wanted to have Hermione looking a bit more dirty and bloody like she is after they leave the Shrieking Shack and her and Harry go to save Sirius and Buckbeak.
I have never tried any wound effects before so just watched a few tutorials on YouTube and got stuck in! I wanted to use a bit of special effects wax for the cut next to her eyebrow as it looks a bit bigger/deeper but I couldn't get the stuff to stick to my face, it just stayed on my fingers bah. So I just used a dark red lip pencil to mark the outlines of the cut and split lip and to draw the guideline for the scratch on the cheek. Then I used red and black facepaint (came in a set with the wax) to build the base for the cuts before finishing with "bloody scab" fake blood. It dries like a scab which I figured would work as Hermione's wounds would have stopped bleeding at the point they go back in time. I used the sharp point of a cuticle stick to apply the blood to the scratch but a brush for the cuts.
Crookshanks (Posted 20th February 2013)
Official Crookshanks plush from the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour.
I think he could do with a slightly more squished face but other than that he's lovely. His fur is matty and keeps coming out in clumps- very in character!
Complete (Posted 19th February 2013)
Just don't have the contacts in or make-up on for these shots.
Wig again (Posted 18th February 2013)
Just a few shots of how it looks when worn. I trimmed the ends very slightly but it didn't need any other work, even the fringe didn't need styling.
Finished trainers (Posted 18th February 2013)
Not the neatest work but fairly happy with the result.
Trainer modifications (Posted 18th February 2013)
I used matt self adhesive vinyl to alter the gold stripes to blue ones. This seemed the quickest and easiest way to achieve the right look. The only downside is the stripes don't have the small stiches as on the actual trainers and I had to cover the Gola brand but figured the later wasn't a big deal as Hermione's jeans are quite long and cover this up most of the time anyway.
Jeans modifications (Posted 18th February 2013)
Hermione's jeans are completely plain so I removed a small Next tag from one of the front pockets then attacked the stitch detailing on the back pockets. The bottom two lines of stitching removed fairly easy but the top line took over double the time due to the type of stitch, it was a pain. The dark blue pattern left behind is obviously what the jeans original colour was, the thread prevented it from fading. Wish that wasn't there obviously but I prefer it to the coloured thread.
Hoody modifications (Posted 17th February 2013)
Tassel/ drawstring (whatever you call it) removed from hood and rivet detail added to pockets.
The zipper pull is still inaccurate (supposed to be rounded at the end) but I didn't have anything suitable to replace it with and had no time to order one.
T-shirt (Posted 17th February 2013)
Basic and plain, you only see the top just above the zip of the hoody.
Hoody (Posted 17th February 2013)
Base hoody to be modified.
I bought it in an extra small (estimated as a UK size 6) as Hermione's seems quite fitted but it still feels baggy on me and it's quite long also, ending below the belt when it's supposed to end above it. Darn. I also don't like the white trim on the zip.
Trainers (Posted 17th February 2013)
Hermione wears Gola Harrier trainers, a brand that comes in about 50 odd different colour combinations it seems. Unlike other popular trainers like Converse and Vans you can't get cheap rip-offs of the design and her particular colour scheme is on sale for between £35-50, an expense I can't afford or justify.
Belt (Posted 17th February 2013)
I couldn't find a belt with the correct coloured stripes and the closest one came in a childs size only so I had to buy two and combine them to make a belt that would fit me. I joined them using a hot glue gun and replaced the buckles with two D-rings.
Jeans (Posted 16th February 2013)
Medium blue Next jeans found in a charity shop.
Wig (Posted 14th January 2013)
I started watching a few on ebay that I was un-sure of then I found this in a wig store in Peckham, London whilst I was visiting sj. It might need a trim but I haven't tried it on yet to see where the length sits on me. It has a centre skin top parting and the fringe will need little work, if any.
Time tuner (Posted 5th February 2012)
sjbonnar bought me the Noble Collection replica of Hermione's Time-Turner for Christmas which led me to want to do this version of Hermione as an excuse to show it off lol It really is a gorgeous replica with spinning parts and moving sand.

Mushtaq Ahmed has confirmed he may fill the vacant position of spin-bowling coach with the England and Wales Cricket Board. He said yesterday: "I may be doing something with English spinners in conjunction with the ECB."
England's head coach, Peter Moores, who has close ties with him from their time together at Sussex, believes the Pakistani can play an important role for England. Mushtaq, however, who retired from first-class cricket in August, has already been approached by Sussex about a coaching role and if Pakistan made an offer he would be tempted. "I want to pay my country back for all that it's given me," he said. "They looked after me when I was young and made me who I am."
Middlesex have signed Neil Carter on a short-term loan deal to play in the Stanford Super Series. The 33-year-old South African-born all-rounder appeared in all 11 of Warwickshire's domestic Twenty20 fixtures this year and although he is out of contract with them a club spokesman confirmed that he features in their plans for 2009 and there is "no indication that he won't sign a new deal" to play for them next year. His loan stint will expire at the end of December, meaning that after travelling to Antigua with Middlesex's 15-man squad on October 19 he could also feature for them in the inaugural Champions Trophy in India at the end of November.
Carter has been signed as a temporary replacement for the Australian Dirk Nannes. The loan does little to assuage concerns that the prize money on offer in the Stanford series is going to foment disgruntlement in dressing rooms around the county circuit. Middlesex's match against Trinidad & Tobago will played for a $200,000 (£113,233) pot, to be split among the winning players. Two players who featured in the victorious domestic Twenty20 campaign - Dan Housego and David Burton - have been omitted and will be ineligible for a share.
Middlesex: Udal (capt), Carter, Dexter, Finn, Godleman, Henderson, Joyce, Kartik, Malan, Morgan, Murtagh, Nash, Richardson, Scott, Strauss

Do you suffer from #ALLERGYFACE? I do! Ugh! I found out something new about myself this spring. I'm now a victim of Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis. I thought I caught three sinus colds this spring. Nope…good ol' Hay fever caused by pollen and other fun allergens in the air.

The president of the United States has gone on television and shown the American people a copy of his birth certificate. Like many writing on blogs the issue of whether Obama was or was not born in the United States has led me to comment about nothing. In an age in which the nation has an $14 Trillion debt, we devote our lives to commenting on the validity of nothing. I am 80 years old and have lived through many crazy incidents in American history, but none can compare in silliness, in the anger and hate of individuals such as the madness about the birth certificate of an American president. One can only wonder who are the people of America when twenty five percent of the people in this nation believe in this stupidity? I even feel ashamed to note the actual birth date and the actual time and the actual name of parents and the actual name of the hospital because to write those words would mean I have slunk into the sewers of filth.
Karl Rove, a man who is well known for smearing people, was even compelled to note that nut case Donald Duck Trump was "off there with the nutty right." When Karl Rove is regarded as a voice of common sense, this nation truly is in serious trouble. For the first time in my life, I feel ashamed to be an American citizen.
Oh, and for the record I was born on August 31, 1930 in the Bronx, New York. I await a lunatic insisting that New York City was not really part of the United States!

Anyone know much about these? Reliability, ease of install, problems, actual dyno sheets/etc?? Anything?
Trying to decide between upgrading the SVT for some real power (She's bone stock right now) or just trade her in on an 06 Mustang GT.
Anyone know much about these? Reliability, ease of install, problems, actual dyno sheets/etc?? Anything?
Trying to decide between upgrading the SVT for some real power (She's bone stock right now) or just trade her in on an 06 Mustang GT.
From what I've heard Powerworks is top shelf for power, reliability and an OEM type install. There is a jet'r who had his motor blow because of the tune from Powerworks, but I think they made good on it with a new motor and supercharger at their cost and has since resolved this issue. I'd buy one if I had the money. The Jaskson BBK SC is a good second choice as well. All in all, you still won't have the power or endless available parts for the SVTF as you will the 06' GT, but you'd be driving one hell of a fast SVTF that not many others have or can even get.

Got one. Install is easy but time comsuming, I took my time and did a few other things and got it in in about 23 hours. Had mine retuned because the tune has issues below 4500. As for power, check the sig.
Whoever said "You can't take it with you when you die" never had tattoos.
how does it drive in comparison to how it did? Worth it, or should I drop the SVTF for a GT? Any problems with the install?

If you truly do love the SVT, stick with it and boost it. PW's kit is by far the best and most reliable for everyday driving, not to mention the only CARB approved at that power.
A GT would also be great, but then you have to realise u can't compare the two. you'll be moving to a RWD and a V8 two completely different broads. The SVT will out handle the Mustang and be genuingly 'more fun to drive' when boosted. Tho the mustand has huge grins on its side being RWD and a throaty V8.
you need to really think what ur looking for. A PWcharged SVT will definitely give you a rush like a stock stang would in terms of power.

I suppose do a V8 conversion for the SVT? That would seem to make you happy, you would have a Mustang engine in your focus, so you would have the actual sound and feel.

The point isn't always winning the races... the Mustang is far more fun to cruise in, the SVT far more fun to romp on in the mountains.
i dunno then, the more i see 05+ stangs the less i like them. keep in mind i got a 67 sittin in my garage. it just kinda seems like they lost motivation and had to go pick up a board from the 60's. i dunno, its hard to explain. but if i were u id def go wiht the gt cuz the way u talk bout the svt dont sound like its really what u wanna do.

text: So, my main sport is dressage, and one of the main (independent!) news sites had a very interesting article posted about Natural Bias in sports judging, and how judging complex movements (such as figure skating, gymnastics or dressage) is simply too hard for the brain without using any kind of prior bias or knowledge. The guest article is a written by a researcher in sports psychology, Inga Wolframm, and I thought it was very enlightening, and applicable to Figure Skating as well. Enjoy! http://www.eurodressage.com/equestrian/2010/11/04/natural-bias-hidden-controversy-judging-sports Reading the article, do you think figure skating judging could be made more simple? How? I don't have a firm enough grasp on all the teknik stuff to have any ideas. I also wondered if the judges can see each other marks/screens sitting that close in competition?

'Arunachal Pradesh is integral part of India'
This comes a day after China objected to Defence Minister A K Antony's visit to Arunachal Pradesh.
New Delhi: A day after China objected to Defence Minister A K Antony's visit to Arunachal Pradesh, India on Sunday reiterated that the state is its integral part and stressed that any Indian has the right to visit any part of Indian territory.
Objecting to the Indian defence minister's visit to Arunachal Pradesh, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei Saturday had "asked India to work with China to maintain peace and stability in border areas".
Hong had asserted that China advocated seeking a fair and rational solution through equal and friendly negotiations, adding Bejing's stance on Sino-Indian border issues, including disputes regarding the eastern section, has been consistent and clear-cut.
He also called on India to desist from taking any action that could complicate the issue.
He was reacting to media reports about Indian officials participating in activities organised by the "so-called Arunachal region,"without directly referring to Antony's visit to Arunachal Pradesh on February 20.
Government sources in New Delhi reacted sharply, saying that India's position on Arunachal Pradesh is well-know and has been stated many times.
The sources pointed out that in face of Chinese assertions from time to time, senior Indian leaders have said time and again that Arunchal Pradesh is an integral part of India's territory.
"We are aware of the challenges which people living in border areas face and it is our collective duty to ensure that our border areas are developed as any other part of the country," Antony had said at the Silver Jubilee celebrations of Arunachal Pradesh in its capital Itanagar on February 20.
"We are aware of the challenges which people living in border areas face and it is our collective duty to ensure that our border areas are developed as any other part of the country."
"Arunachalees have always been known to be fiercely patriotic and yield to none in their love for the motherland," he had said.
The latest Chinese assertion on Arunachal Pradesh came more than a month after special representatives of India and China held the 15th round of boundary talks here to discuss a framework that can form the basis for resolving their decades-old boundary dispute.
Beijing's claims on Arunachal Pradesh are part of the boundary negotiations between the two rising Asian powers.
In the boundary negotiations, China has hardened stance on Arunachal Pradesh, part of its negotiating tactic to extract concessions from India in any final boundary settlement. Last month, China had denied visa to a senior Indian Air Force officer to visit that country as as part of a defence delegation visiting that country. This had prompted New Delhi to scale down the size of the delegation.

When I was getting my car, I had the option of getting custom leather. I was against it because I wanted to get Sparco seats or something I know 4-point seatbelts were made for. The saes guy said I could use the stock WRX seats with 4 point seatbelts... When I talked toa friend of mine after getting the car, he said it can't be done. Now, that's what I was thinking, but the leather is so nice, I didn't question it! Not to mention I'd lose the side impact airbags.
So, can 4-point seatbelts be used with them? Or is there some kind of modification to the seats that would need to be done?

The magic, the charm and the raw nature of Led Zeppelin is crystallized in this Earl's Court performance. As one of the "children of the sun," where the "mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake," where "the sea is red and the sky is gray" I will forever be moved by this song as I drive along the Pacific Ocean, near my home. Thank you for capturing it, and I wished I'd have been able to hear you play it at the 0 Arena, when I in flew from L.A. Nonetheless, it was a fabulous realization of a dream to see you all play and Jason was phenomenal. After all, when this was recorded, I was only 7 years old!

Everybody draws Mohammed
Cartooning for freedom of speech.
In April, Comedy Central received a (partially) veiled death threat against the creators of South Park from a New York– based group called Revolution Muslim. Their tort? Portraying Mohammed in a bear suit (a scene that Comedy Central, capitulating to the bullies, censored). In response, Molly Norris, a Seattle artist, suggested denominating May 20 "Everybody Draws Mohammed Day." Nick Gillespie at Reason magazine took up the challenge and mounted an everybody-draws-Mohammed contest. By the time you read this, the winner will have been announced and, who knows, perhaps Revolution Muslim or some sister organization will have issued another round of death threats.
The conjunction of the words "cartoon" and "Mohammed" inevitably brings to mind the phrase "Danish cartoons," the dozen images of Mohammed published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten ...

Thanks for posting this, RD.
Emily has tons of personality, that's for sure! If she could ever get her jumps straightened out, she just might give the others a run for their money.
"I'll just show you and easy one..." (spin) She's certainly got a sense of humor!
That was adorable - the 'easy spin' was hilarious. Thanks for posting this RD.
So - to speculate - why do you think Emily was vague about her next Olympics - is the 'hope so' you never know if you'll make the team, or is the 'hope so' I'm not sure if I'm committed for another 4 years, getting ready for college etc? Any guesses? Any inside info?
The funniest part is when she did the spin and then told Meredith (something like) "Now, you just follow..." I was saying, you've GOT to be kidding!!
I think Emily wants to follow the track of her big sister; maybe she wants to see how much success skating brings her in the next two years. I mean, she's already been to the Olympics, so unless she's going to be a medal contender in the next Games I speculate that she might skip it and go onto college.
Thanks RD. Great clip. Emily looks great and what a sense of humor.
Em is soooo cute! I am waiting to see how she does at Nationals with such excitement! Go Em!!
Emily looks great and great charm, I like the way she saved Meredith's face from the boards in that "race."
Oh yah, very cute old footage, just darling and a penguin to add. My lucky day.

Ripoff Report
Shoenet.com266 West 37th Street, Suite 803 New York, New York USA
Shoenet.com Danny Yakoel and Shoenet.com have my approx $7000 and I have NO SHOES New York New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In October 2013 I discovering a company called shoenet.com who seemed legitimate and had shoes at the right price and placed my order and wire transferred almost $7000. After three weeks I didn't hear any reponse or information regarding my order.
This money was from a car accident I have last year and I was hoping this was going to be my new start. I thought I had suffered enough. Now I have to go through this.
I sent a email and received a response from Danny Yakoel who told me I would need an extra approx $4000 freight or $2800 shipping.
I explained that I couldn't afford that amount for freight and would like my money back. I have sent quite a number of emails to Danny Yakoel with my back account details for the refund and have had no response.
I can't help but think I have been ripped off BAD. I
live in Austalia so it is very difficult for me to getting any action from this side of the world. It would be great if I can get some help.

Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Starting in the Spring 2011 semester, all dissertations and theses submitted at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary will occur electronically. Such dissertations and theses are commonly referred to in academic circles as electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs).
An ETD is an openly-accessible electronic version of your thesis/dissertation/project that will be kept by the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. For theses and dissertations produced in the research doctoral program, this electronic copy will be kept in addition to a bound, paper copy. The transition to ETDs is a cooperative effort between the Doctoral Studies Department, the Professional Doctoral Studies Department, and the Library. All the information presented here comes from these sources and represents the official policies of Southern Seminary.
How do I submit my thesis/dissertation/project?
Students submitting dissertations or theses may do so at http://www.etdadmin.com/sbts. Students submitting dissertations and theses are also required to submit one signed copy of your signature page to the library. The signature page must be printed on either acid free or 100% cotton bond paper. Signature pages can be turned in either at the Archives and Special Collections Department or at the library circulation desk.
Students submitting professional doctoral projects may do so at http://www.etdadmin.com/sbts.pdp. The seminary also provides a Microsoft Word template to assist in the formatting of your dissertation.
Step-by-step instructions are provided at these sites, and formatting guidelines are provided in Southern Seminary's Manual of Style.
What are the benefits of open access for my thesis/dissertation/project?

Is Ozone the Miracle Cure Everyone Is Talking About?
Robert Rowen, M.D., Santa Rosa; Board-certified Member, American Boards of Family Practice and Emergency Medicine and the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology; Former Member, Alaska State Medical Board.
Dr. Rowen's talk will feature research from Cuba (and other sources) on what ozone is being used to treat inflammatory conditions, repairing arthritic joints, circulation, macular degeneration, etc. Dr. Rowen will show videos of "miraculous" instant results of patients in his own office; these are not miracles at all, he says, but what can be expected when you treat the body to get it to heal itself. Rowen's presentation will also cover UV light in its relation to ozone and show some documentation from many years ago on its ability to fight infection. Dr. Rowen is affectionately known as "The Father of Medical Freedom" for pioneering the nation's first law protecting alternative medicine in 1990, in Alaska.

2015 YBC T-shirt Art Contest Results
2015 YBC T-shirt Art Contest Results
Four budding bird artists recently were selected as T-shirt Art Contest winners in Georgia's 10th annual Youth Birding Competition, the state Department of Natural Resources announced.
A great-blue heron painted by Ivey Smith, a student at Blue Heron Art Studio in Carrollton, led all 254 contest entries. As grand-prize winner, Smith, 17, an 11th-grader at Carrollton High School, landed a $100 Michaels gift card and will have her artwork featured on T-shirts at the Youth Birding Competition at the end of this month.
Art contest coordinator Linda May praised participants and stressed that the focus "isn't just about art."
"It's about getting kids interested in the outdoors and connected to nature," said May, environmental outreach coordinator for the DNR's Nongame Conservation Section. "Birds are a great focus since they're beautiful and easy to find."
To encourage stewardship, an awareness and appreciation of wildlife and their habitats is essential. This contest helps form that foundation through art.
Seasoned participant Rosemary Kramer of Culloden said the challenge "kick-started her passion" for creating bird artwork when she won top honors in 2011. Since then, her artwork and her birding skills have improved. Now 17, Kramer loves to share her excitement about nature with others, and plans to compete in the Youth Birding Competition again this year on the Chaotic Kestrels team.
The T-shirt Art Contest is part of the Youth Birding Competition, an annual event in which teams of children and teens try to find as many bird species as possible throughout Georgia in 24 hours. This year, the free bird-a-thon runs from 5 p.m. April 25 to 5 p.m. April 26, ending in a banquet at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center near Mansfield. Registration for the birding competition ended March 31.
Ivey Smith's art entry also placed first in the High School division. Other division art winners include:
Contest entries will be displayed and division winners honored during the awards banquet April 26 at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center. Photos are posted at www.flickr.com/photos/wildliferesourcesdivision. Click the album "2015 YBC T-shirt Art Contest Winners."
The birding competition and T-shirt Art Contest are sponsored by DNR's Nongame Conservation Section, The Environmental Resources Network Inc. or TERN – friends group of the Nongame Conservation Section – and others including the Georgia Ornithological Society and Atlanta Audubon Society.

Excerpts From The Past
Miscellaneous by: Snowflake7
Status: Finished
Genre: Literary Fiction
I strain to open my eyes, they feel frozen from sleep. I take a deep breath, there is a sense of comfort in the air. Tick, tock, tick, tock, the aluminum clock ticks away, seconds after seconds become past, written in stone, forever unchangeable. I try to look around, but my neck is stiff, I'll have to manage with my peripherals. I look to my left and see a machine monitoring my heart rate. I look to my feet and see I am resting on a small bed and wearing a thin hospital robe. I try to raise my arm, but it feels as if i don't have one. A strange feeling, feeling no part of your body, as if I'm nothing but a connection of thoughts trapped in an immovable shell. The walls around me are a shade of light blue, probably to keep the atmosphere in the room calm. I haven't been here before, I don't know this place. How did I get here? I try to think about the last place I was but I can't remember anything, it's like I can't focus in my head and latch to any memory. I'll try something easy, just to get my brain going. What is two plus two? Four, I answer to myself. I still know some math, that's a good sign. What is my name? My name is... I pause in my mind. I can't recall anyone ever saying my name.
I want to scream for help, call for someone to save me. I am a scream locked inside an empty fragile shell.
The door opens to the left of me, finally someone to help me. A nurse pushes a cart next to me. She pulls out two blue latex gloves and fits them onto her hands. She reaches and grabs something off the cart. I can't see what it is. Does she know I'm awake? Does she know I'm trying to call to her?
She turns to face me with a needle in her hand. She puts the needle into my arm and squeezes the liquid inside me.
I can feel the cold liquid disperse inside of me. I feel it travel through my arm slowly, still, I can't feel my arm, just the cold liquid begin to flow through the hollow shell I'm trapped inside. It begins to move up my shoulder, now it creeps to my neck and splits to a different path. One still continuing up my neck and the other slowly reaches the center of my chest, with my heart beat the cold branches and shoots in all different directions suddenly throughout my body. I feel the liquid pass my eyes, a shivering chill. It engulfs my whole brain. Instead of feeling muscles in my body all I can feel is the liquid coursing through it.
My whole body flinches from the cold, this startles the woman but catches herself and calms herself down. I try to blink, something to get her attention, but I'm still too weak. I move my eyes rapidly, she finally notices I'm awake.
She opens her mouth and begins to talk. I can't hear her though. Her expression changes from one of surprise, to concern. She moves a strand of her hair away from her face and rests it behind her left ear. Her body blocks the light from behind her. It brings out the color of her vivid green eyes and shines against her dark brown hair. Her lips move again, still no words. Her rosy cheeks flush away as she quickly turns around. She breezes out of my vision as quickly as she entered. I try to move my legs, get up and follow her, but my legs are still numb. Numb like the rest of my body. I look out the corner of my eye and see my door slowly closing, compressing the light from the hall so it will not enter my room. My heart jumps and begins to race wildly. I feel my body pump adrenaline though out me, just like the liquid the woman shot into me. Slowly my finger muscles begin to tighten, and then the muscles leading up my arms. It feels as if now my empty shell is being filled, very slowly. The door has almost completely shut now, cutting off all light to my room, which will leave me alone, immovable in the darkness.............
That's all for that story, seriously, there was nothing else...wish I would have know what was going on in my own story, but anyway let me know what you think, I'll appreciate any comments. Thanks for reading :D

"Does this lamp have a dimmer? Some reviews say it does, while others say it only has an on/off switch."
this a very good item has a soft glow...
WBM 8-inch Tall Himalayan Natural Crystal Salt Lampby WBM
ITEM#: 13028269Bring divine harmony to any room with this beautiful Himalayan natural salt crystal lamp. When the lamp is lit, it emits negative ions that fight against positively charged particles that cause us to feel stuffy and fatigued. This lamp rests on an elegant wooden neem base.
The modern design of the lamp allows it to pair well with any decor. The lamp uses a 25 watt bulb, so the light that is emitted is not so bright that it will take over a room or keep you up at night when you are trying to sleep.
- Unique salt lamp is made from Natural Himalayan salt crystals hand mined in the Himalayan Mountains
- Once lit the lamp will emit a calming Amber color
- Heating the salt with the included bulb releases negative ions into the air, creating an effect similar to an ionizer, purifying the surrounding air
- Due to the natural variation in Himalayan Crystal salt, weight, size, color and shape may vary
- Includes:6-foot power cord, 25 watt Light Bulb, Rotary dimmer switch
- Material: Himalayan Crystal Salt, Neem wood base
- Finish: Natural
- UL Approved cord and lamp
- Number of Lights: 1

NIce night light

Family favorite
Have several of these because each of the kids wanted one in their bedroom after seeing mine in my room. Nice soothing amber glow is relaxing and salt lamps are refreshing and seem to clear air from any odor or staleness.Read More
Beautiful lamp.....
I use this beautiful lamp in our hall bath. It gives off a soft glow similar to candlelight. Not sure of all the reported health benefits, but it is a piece of art in itself. Bought extras for gifts, and the lamps are being used in their homes. Beautiful lamps.Read More
Not anything more than a lamp
A huge chunk of salt with a dimmer switch in a wood base. I suffer from excruciating Migraines, and in desperation, ( yes, this was an impulse purchase of pure desperation for relief!), I purchased 2 of them, hoping that the, "Hocus Pocus Hype," wasn't just hype, re: it helps to make the air in your surroundings healthier by emitting positive ions. A whopper of a waste of money! The only positive is the dimmer switch, so it casts a soft glow on my nightstand - never a bad thing, ladies, - but it doesn't take a bulb with enough wattage to read by. Save your money or get a cow for a salt lick!. As I said in my title: Hocus Pocus Phooey!!Read More

Amazing Product!
Wow,This lamp actually erased the mercilous sinus/migraine headaches I'd been suffering,when nothing else would!Honestly,I did not at all believe in the alledged beneficial properties it might provide.I bought it bcz it was different,& it had lighting akin to candlelight.So a day & a half of having it plugged in my room,I felt 100% better!I do not know how,the tiny bulb cannot possibly emit enough heat to be beneficial,yet somehow it is.More light than a nightlight,enough for me to read comfortably by w/out disturbing others sleep.Depending on the thickness of the salt wall facing out is how much light it will provide.Read More
Love my lamp!
I'd originally purchased a lamp for my daughter to use in her massage therapy room as I thought it would give off a nice gentle glow. She loved it and when I saw it for myself I had to order one for myself. Actually, I liked it so much that I ordered one for each of my other children. I'm not sure about the health benefits but the lamp gives off the most beautiful ambient glow. Each lamp is unique and has a slightly different shape and color. Some were very orange when lit whereas others were lighter and gave off more of a yellowy-peach tone but all were beautiful. The dimmer switch is perfect as it allows for more lighting control. I turn it way down and keep it lit all night long and gives off the most perfect subtle glow. The only negative is that some of the bases were perfectly level but there were a couple that weren't quite level and rocked a bit. That little annoyance aside, I'd definitely recommend this to others.Read More
I was hesitant to purchase this lamp because of the health benefits. It's hard for me to believe a light could help with things like headaches and insomnia etc. But I took a chance and purchased the lamp and I absolutely love it! I have two now on each side of my bed, and after just a few nights I felt a huge difference. The brightness of the light changes(not sure how or why) but it is consistently a relaxing hue. The orange color fits the decor and creates a soft glow at night. I have less allergies in the morning and sleep more sound. I like the warmth it brings to my bedroom and have already purchased more for family and friends.Read More
Exactly what I wanted
I specifically ordered these to see if they would help in calming my pets during storms with thunder and lightening. They have worked wonderfully since my pets no longer get too concerned during the storm. These are also great night lights giving off a very warm glow. I have reordered some more of these for some friends who saw mine and wanted one for their home. These lamps have also helped in keeping my home fresh smelling. Looks as if I am completely sold on these!Read More
Subtle lighting with a nice atmosphere
Because these are natural products the color of the salt may vary but each one is unique. I like the light they provide and leave them on 24/7. I use them as night lights and they make getting around in the house at night safer. The plus is the mellowatmosphere they provide.Read More
Questions & Answers
It does have lighting control.
yes mine has a dimmer switch. It IS the on/off switch. It has a dial that you roll with your finger up and down to dim and turn off.Maybe they don't always ship the same kind????

I don't like an specific kind of music, if I love a song, I love it.
My favorite Taylor' song is Love Story since like always
I love singing, writing songs, playing football, swimming and running.

I'm from a tiny town in Ohio, USA where nothing ever happens. So as you can imagine, its really hard to catch a decent soccer (football) match. But the United States women's national soccer team rocks! The men have been playing for 100 years and still aren't any good, but they're getting a little better.
