Homemade gifts - what do you REALLY think?(77 Posts)
OK so I'm on mat leave which means 2 things, I have a bit more time on my hands than usual & cash is a bit tighter. I have also become slightly addicted to pinterest.
I am thinking of making story stones & cookie jars for the few pre schoolers we normally gift too. But if your DC received would you think I was being tight (receivers are DCs of my best friends and DN). My DD will be receiving too.
PS - if you don't know story stones have pictures on (ie tree, castle, boy, animal, house, rainbow etc etc) & the child makes up stories as they pull them out of bag.
Cookie jars contain all the dry ingredients to make a batch of cookies.
i think they sound like lovely presents, my children would certainly be very pleased.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I love home made presents, I am often touched by the effort people have gone to, especially if I know they are hard up. I am really sad that some people would throw them away.
Anyone considering the tshirt idea. Matalan do really nice plain white t shirts for around £3.50 for 3. I've used them for dds birthday party instead of party bags.
"I hate the thought of people spending ages on a home made something or other which I would probably just chuck out"
But why would you chuck it out? Unless it's horrible, in which case you deal with it in the same way you would deal with any horrible present. Why is home made different?
I love getting home made stuff from Dcs or family, but otherwise would be fine wit just a card. I hate the thought of people spending ages on a home made something or other which I would probably just chuck out.
A friend does these bits of felt with stitches all over them which are hideous. I really would rather get nothing than another one of these things.
Your idea sounds lovely OP!
Can you link me to your idea please?
It's a sad world where people would rather SPEND money on bubble mixture shipped from China (WTF????) than make some like we all used to do.
Although I've personally been given lots of "crafty" stuff I didn't like, I always appreciated the effort and the thought. It never went in the bin.
Plastic tat, on the other hand, has.
Kids get so many toys and then those don't ever get played with. Personally, anything that's an activity rather than a toy, is welcome.
Just an idea, maybe you could throw in a biscuit cutter or wooden rolling pin (50p from ELC if memory serves me right) with your biscuit jars? ONLY do that tho if those families do lots of baking or the kids in question like playdough.
It would depend how well the story stones were done. I've seen some poorly finished examples.
I'm not sure about the cookie mix, the DC would prefer to make their own, they liked the mixing and measuring best, almost as much as cutting out the cookies.
It was William Morris SD.
I try to live by that rule.
Was it William Morris or the Shakers who said something along the lines of Have nothing in your house you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.
Aplpy that to gifts with the recipients taste in mind and you shouldn't go far wrong.
Homemade stuff that goes in the bin is just as much landfill as plastic tat. The fact that a recipient may glance and think "Aw, they made that themselves, what a shame" before lobbing it in the bin makes it no superior to the plastic tat nobody has any real use or like for. Home made tat has a lot in common with shopbought tat in that respect.
What makes something not tat destined for landfill? Generally something useful or beautiful. However we would need to actually know what the recipient considers useful and/or beautiful.
Story stones a case in point. One person's "educational, creative" present, another person's "oh no- missile potential".
The best thing to do is know your recipient well and if your homemade stuff does not fit into their style (my sister does not do "shabby chic" under any guises, for example) nor is it useful to them, then give it up and buy something useful and/or beautiful.
I would appreciate a handmade gift as much as I would something shop bought just because I am always touched by anyone going to the trouble of giving me a present.
Something well made and genuinely attractive or useful would be lovely but as someone else said it can cost a lot to make something decent so you won't necessarily save money.
But if it was some of the badly made tat that I see people touting on FB I would put it quietly to one side after opening it and either bin it or give it to charity (bet the charity shops are delighted after Xmas!)
It annoys me how everyone is a crafter/'cupcake' baker/purveyor of crap these days although I appreciate people are just trying to make some cash. There is a lot of beautiful well made stuff out there, created by very talented people - I think the bad stuff detracts from this and gets everyone tarred with the same brush.
When I was on maternity leave I started looking at homemade, but it's not cheap. By the time I'd bought the items needed, I may as well have spent the money on something else.
I good compromise i found was 'half homemade'. Last year, I made chocolate selection boxes. I bought some baskets and filled them with chocolate and sweets. It was much better value than the overpriced shop made ones and I made sure it contained the recipients favourite chocolates.
If a family member or friend was having financial difficulties, I wouldn't expect anything from them. I'd rather they spent the money on themselves, but then I'm quite practical.
How much are those story stones from Poppit's Cupboard? I can't seem to find a price and they would be perfect to use in class.
I like the idea of cake stands but the reality is that cake is snarfed very quickly from
the cooling rack a tupperware box.
I may make some of the presents this year but they will be made for the person not the same thing for everyone. Although it's tempting to make family hats for everyone
SD...yes, she asked for one! I know, not my thing either but it's what she what's. So I got her a naice one.
Does your SIL want a one of a kind hand made slate cake stand? That's the kind of "crap" that would sit at the back of a cupboard in my hose.
That's the point.
A lot of people don't even have hot water bottles anymore!
They may appreciate one given the hike in fuel prices!
That's true curlew.
I take time to choose gifts.
I put a lot of thought into it.
It irritates me when others don't...just give to charity or don't bother.
I don't need 2 chipped wine glasses, or the free no 7 gifts from boots
am looking at you Dhs aunt or cheap costume jewellery.
"I am not against hand made bespoke stuff, but I am against people making stuff and then foisting it on people who are supposed to be grateful for things they do not want and will never use!"
But doesn't that apply to any present? Why is it worse that it's home made? The subtext certainly seems to be " I don't want this present ^ and^ the giver is a cheapskate as well"
Quinto..you seem offended by the fact that some people wouldn't want a hot water bottle cover!
If your sil wants one, and you can make one, all well and good.
But for most it would be a fairly useless gift. A lot of people don't even have hot water bottles anymore!
I am so fed up of seeing everyone on FB trying to sell their homemade stuff...cards, artwork, shabby chic, burning...and fecking cupcakes! £7 for a jar of chutney!? No thanks.
I have just bought my sil a handmade one of a kind slate cake stand.
I am not against hand made bespoke stuff, but I am against people making stuff and then foisting it on people who are supposed to be grateful for things they do not want and will never use!
Hardly Xmas spirit is it?
And why should people clutter up their homes with unwanted stuff!?
I think it's a great idea lots of love going into a gift rather than popping down to a bargain store for a cheap toy that will break in the first hour of play. Small kids will appreciate any gift their teacher gives them. There may be the exception but most kids hark on about their teachers a lot mine do.
I think you'll find objections are usually from parents not small kids, kids do really appreciate such things despite all the modern gadgets and expensive toys. No teacher can afford expensive toys for a class of 30 kids anyway.
Have you seen cake pops on Pinterest they look like really good gifts. One for each kid with bow and cellophane wrap looks store bought I've made them look fab and taste good too.
I think I shall cancel Christmas, reading some of these replies.
Or steal tiny skinny presents that wouldn't take up any precious space.
Things made with best intentions and love be damned.
(And, no, I don't hoist crap on people, my DSil needs a new hot water bottle (DH buying) and I shall make a nice snuggly soft cover for it).
If you wander through the Christmas Bargains thread, you'll see links to things such as socks that look like you're wearing sandals-over-socks Made in China for tuppence happeny, funny for 30 seconds, tat in the bin. Yours for only 7.99.
We would have loved story stones when DS was little. I'm surprised by the responses on here to be honest. Simple things that encourage imagination and creativity go down a storm at Nursery. Yes, they might throw stones or put them in their mouths if they are being left to their own devices with them, but it's the kind of thing you'd be doing with your child, not leaving them to do on their own.
Ooo - the other home-made thing that I think looks GREAT is stencil T-shirts, using freezer paper (google to find out how). See here: Totoro T-shirt (change to suitable simple character for kids T-shirts). You'd need to buy T-shirts and decent stencil paint for this - would only work out cheaper over time if you repeat it for other years/presents...

Is Scarlett Johansson over Ryan Reynolds?Posted on: August 8, 2011 11:02:42
Lonely hearts looking for love using USA dating could be interested to hear the latest rumours about Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds.
Despite finalising their divorce just five weeks ago, the former couple are said to be rekindling their romance, Star magazine reports.
According to an insider, the pair enjoyed a romantic meal at a restaurant in Los Feliz, Los Angeles last month and have been in regular contact ever since.
Rumours of the reconciliation come after the private twosome announced the end of their marriage in December last year, which came as a shock to friends and family.

My 12 year old Dakota was having chronic diarrhea since December. At first we attributed it to the loss of her litter mate, who passed on Dec 1. It kept coming and going for several months and my normal remedy (pumpkin) just didn't work this time. Our vet recommended Proviable. Once we finished the month supply he gave us, we found much better pricing for the exact same item with Vet Depot. If your dog is having digestive problems, I highly recommend this product. It is working for my precious girl. I hope you have the same success.

We have been using Proviable-DC for many years. We were very satisfied with the service provided by Vet Depot.
My American Bulldog mix has a very sensitive stomach--one little change in what he eats can throw him off for several days. We changed to a more easily digestible food and added canned pumpkin to his diet, but when our vet recommended this product we figured we'd give it a try. It works very well. Our dog used to poop five or more times a day and it was always mushy; now he goes two or three times a day and it's solid and less smelly. He's also much less gassy. Our vet charged us $35 for 30 pills, so this is a great deal! I recommend giving it a try if your dog has tummy issues.
This product has been a true blessing in that it has completely cured her Irritable Bowel Syndrome. As a result of this medication our cat has become a more affectionate and a friendly pet. On a one to five rating, I'd rate it a five.
Use it for my dogs when they travel or are in stressful situations. Helps keep them feeling well and active. Very good price.
The majority of orders will ship in 2 to 3 days.
RX orders can take longer due to get approval from your veterinarian and the pharmacy to approve.

Recently we started deploying Windows 7 (64bit) workstations and in the past with our XP workstations we use Squid proxy to route all traffic for uses (using LDAP auth) and i all seems to work fine. Enter a windows 7 machine. No firewalls on the workstations same proxy settings, and nothing the sites we setup no longer work on the Windows 7 machines with IE8. Anyone have any ideas how to allow access to certain sites and bypass the proxy? We have a iptables firewall and deny all direct access to all machines so disabling the proxy will not allow the workstations out to the internet.

We are now looking an NG Firewalls and I am sure this will solve our problem. Thanks for all your input/

I should add, if we set up a rule to MASQUERADE to the specific machine, and disable the proxy settings on that machine it can reach the JAva site just fine. This does work correct on our XP machines. Very Strange. Also Java 1.6
Mar 22, 2012 at 1:57 UTC
I suppose what I need to be able to do is simply allow ALL outgoing traffic to a specific IP and port. So anyone connecting to that IP gets access through iptables. Since if I masq the ip of the local machine it will make it thought.
Mar 22, 2012 at 4:53 UTC
There should be a list of site that Squid shouldn't proxy, try adding it there and see if that helps first.

Surly Disc Trucker
All Bikes Are Available for In-Store Pick Up Only
Short Story:
- This is the best off the shelf touring bike you can buy. We love the Trucker, and think you will too.
Long Story:
The Disc Trucker is a disc brake touring bike made by Surly Bikes. It is built similarly to the Long Haul Trucker (rim brake) in terms of geometry and handling characteristics, but is distinguished by its braking mechanism.
The Surly Disc Trucker (DT) is hands down the "best in class" touring bike. The DT is a comfortable, stable bicycle built with reliable components which facilitate long distance travel or in-town loaded commuting with grace and style. The Disc Trucker is built similarly to the Long Haul Trucker (rim brake) in terms of geometry and handling characteristics, but is distinguished by its braking mechanism.
Disc brakes are considered to be stronger than rim brakes as the braking mechanism (caliper) is located closer to the center of the wheel and therefore fights against less leverage when actuated. Disc brakes actuate on a braking surface (the disc) that remains true through use for a comparably longer period of time than a rim brake. The improved stopping power of disc brakes provides a more secure ride when fully loaded or when facing extreme conditions while touring.
The main design benefit of a touring bike is it's inherent ability to steer, accelerate and handle well when loaded up with 20-60+ pounds of gear. The DT is designed with a long wheelbase and slack angles on the seat tube and headtube. This relatively "slack" geometry and long wheelbase allows for the distribution of weight across the entire bicycle, a low center of gravity and stable handling.
Touring bikes are designed for traveling. To travel well, one needs to be flexible. The DT is designed to be used with a wide variety of racks, fenders, tires and other accessories. Adding similar components to a road or cyclo-cross bicycle could either be difficult or would require some degree of improvisation that in the long term would either break the component or the bicycle. In contrast, the DT comes with frame mounts for racks, fenders, lights, pumps, extra spokes, and whatever else you may want to bolt to your frame for loaded riding.
Surly chose the components group on the DT to maximize reliability, durability and ease of maintenance.
- Microshift Bar Con 9 Speed Bar End Shifters - easy to use, index/friction option, inexpensive to replace
- Reliable Shimano Sora/Deore LX deraillers
- Wide range (26/36/48t) square taper crankset - 110/74 bcd easy to modify/maintain
- Wide range 11-34t 9 speed Shimano cassette
- Avid BB7 disc brake calipers with 160mm rotors - good braking modulation, wide tire/fender clearance
- Shimano Deore XT/Alex Adventure wheelset - wide rims allow for a larger tire contact patch. Strong wheels.
If you are looking to "go the distance," this is the bike for you.
- See the Surly write up for more details and frame geometry
- We stock the Disc Trucker. If you are interested in a Surly Long Haul Trucker please call or email the shop to arrange a special order (deposit can be taken over the phone).
- Surly complete bicycles are available for in-store-pickup only. We cannot and will not ship, and you cannot arrange for a third party carrier to pickup the bike on your behalf. You may purchase the bike online, and come into the store to pick up the bike. As a sweetener, we offer 15% off all parts and accessories for your new bike for the first 30 days after your purchase, even for online-facilitated purchases.

Confidence intervals of forecasts from nonlinear econometric models
Several methods have been proposed in the last few years for evaluating uncertainty in forecasts produced by nonlinear econometric models. Some methods resort to Monte Carlo, while others resort to different simulation techniques. This work aims at comparing these methods by means of experiments on some econometric models of small, medium and large size, used in practice for forecasting purposes. In most cases of practical interest, direct simulation of confidence intervals allows to overcome the difficulties connected with the nonexistence of finite second order moments, often encountered by the authors when applying Monte Carlo methods to real world models.

Precyse University DNA and OpenSketch recently exhibited at the 2016 HealthStream Summit
By nThrive | Posted: 12/09/2016
nThrive, a Diamond Sponsor of the event participated in many of the conference benefits. Thomas Ormondroyd, President of Education and Analytics at nThrive and John Just, Vice President of Technical and Custom Solutions at OpenSketch, a division of nThrive, conducted a learning solutions stage demo in the exhibit hall, which gathered a crowd. Additionally, Ormondroyd closed out the conference with a general session on "Building a strong workforce in the community: Wake Forest's Story about Turning Military Veterans into Healthcare Staff."
Directly behind the DNA Booth, sat the OpenSketch booth which also had some great traffic during the show, while debuting their "Press Your Luck," video game. The game was extremely popular and sparked some competition between attendees. Not only did the video game draw a crowd, but so did their onsite demos. About 50 demos were conducted throughout the show! The Healthstream Summit was a great success for the nThrive's Precyse University DNA and OpenSketch booths.
Precyse University DNA is the next generation of coding, clinical documentation, revenue cycle education and performance management with more than 1,000 courses, assessments, and applications. Precyse University DNA includes ICD-10 education, but goes well beyond the scope of the previous Precyse University ICD-10 education solution by significantly broadening the types of staff roles supported and variety of revenue cycle content offered.
OpenSketch™ is a full-service education development group capable of helping you reach your learners in ways you've never imagined. OpenSketch offers healthcare organizations the expertise to develop eLearning and competency management solutions tailored to your organization's specific needs.

With Latavius Murray signed in free agency and Jerick McKinnon returning, the Minnesota Vikings don't have to press to select a running back early in the draft later this month, but with a deep group of backs in the class it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Vikings take one in the middle rounds.
Murray has a three-year contract that could be opted out of after one year without too much dead-money damage to the salary cap, and McKinnon is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after 2017. Behind them, the Vikings have two largely unproven backs in C.J. Ham and Bishop Sankey.
One of the draft prospects that is expected to be a mid-round value is Kareem Hunt, who is reportedly set to be part of the team's predraft visitors, but don't tell him he is expected to last into the third round or later.
"I think I fit in right with the best of them, at the top. And I'm going to keep competing," he said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "That's what I do; I love to compete. I'm going to show up and be there every day."
Hunt certainly showed the ability to compete in the Mid-American Conference, where he started 33 of 44 games and rushed for 4,945 yards and 44 touchdowns over four years. He also improved as a receiver and ended up with 73 catches for 555 yards.
While he doesn't have great speed – he ran a 4.62 at the Scouting Combine – he was fifth among running backs in the vertical jump (36½ inches).
"I feel I'm a guy who is very explosive," he said. "I run faster than people think and I believe I'm going to jump and test well. That's what I do."
Actually, what he did best on the football field was make initial would-be tacklers miss.
He has only average speed but can be elusive, as he broke 42 percent of the "first contact" tackles he encountered, according to Pro Football Focus, which ranked second. He caused a whopping 76 missed tackles in 2016 and 176 over three years, according to the analytics site.
He listed his elusiveness as his best attribute.
"My ability to set up defenders; I catch them off-balance. I have great balance myself," he said. "I feel I'm able to make guys miss. I can tell which way their body is leaning. I can see little things like that, setting them up. I see stuff before it honestly happens.
"I bring a tough, physical back. I'm a guy who can make a lot of guys miss, I believe. Pretty explosive and I like to think that I can just help a team at any point in time and be a game-changer."
In addition to a lack of long-range speed, another question with Hunt will be the level of competition he faced in the MAC. That's why producing a solid week at the Senior Bowl helped his draft stock.
"I feel like it helped me out a lot," he said. "It showed I could really play with some of the best of the best. Honestly I get a lot of stuff about 'Toledo don't play tough enough competition' sometimes and I came in with something to prove and I'm going to keep a chip on my shoulder."
In addition to keeping the chip on his shoulder, NFL teams can be fairly confident he will keep the ball in his possession. He didn't fumble once in 782 carries in college.
"I take pride in that. I don't like having anything taken from me, and I'm not going to let anybody take the ball from me, or anything important to me. And the football's important," he said. "You can't get the yards that you want without the ball, and if I fumble on first down, that's two other downs I could've got the ball and I'm missing out on every opportunity."
For the Vikings, there is a lot to like and to consider if Hunt is still available late on Day 2 or early on Day 3 of the draft. But when exactly they pull the trigger on a running back, if they do at all, remains to be seen, but Hunt is a fit that intrigues them, based off their interest in having him visit after talking with him at the Senior Bowl.

Visiting Johannesburg for a one-night stand (to attend a wedding) can be stressful for laid-back Capetonians. How reassuring to find affordable accommodation in a central suburb with all the amenities a traveler could want - and then some! Although we arrived late at night, the security check-in at the gate was both professional and welcoming. The room was more than adequate (MUCH more spacious than 4-star hotels in Europe, South America or Thailand), with an en suite bathroom (shower and bath), large balcony and HUGE, comfortable bed. The breakfast was delicious and Sue's warm conversation made us feel like we are old family acquaintances. While we waited to be collected, she hospitably fed us great coffee and muffins. And of course, the real owner, Sooty, did his best to keep us on the couch for him to lie on our laps.
Highly recommended.

|Half Baths
|1,020 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
2 bedroom, 2.5 bath features balcony overlooking therapy pool!
Freshly decorated in local beach themes, this bungalow is sure to please. Cozy corner dinette + bar seating. Flat screen televisions in both bedrooms & living area. Convenient 1st floor half bath w/laundry. All beach equipment + bikes included! Fully equipped kitchen complete w/ margarita machine! Ice maker, dishwasher & electric grill for outdoor cooking! Main bedroom features queen bed, bath w/ walk-in shower. 2nd bedroom has twin beds w/ full bath. Both open onto balcony. Queen sleeper sofa in living room. The perfect size & a wonderful location nestled in between panama city & destin (20 min. Each way). Wonderful restaurants/shopping nearby-do not need a car!. Beautiful dunes & lakes surround this area & the bike trail extends down 30a through all the quaint beach communities (rosemary beach, seaside, grayton beach, etc.)
Needed a getaway to escape the cold central Indiana winters! We enjoy taking our dogs along with us & we wanted to be within a day's driving distance.
Teresa Mumford purchased this bungalow in 2013
This property is perfectly located! We have been looking for a couple of years from Destin to Appalachicola & this was our 1st trip to the quaint beach communities of South Walton. We fell in love with this 'park like' setting so close to the beach! We could not believe we actually found a bungalow available to be purchased! The bungalows offered everything we were looking for- perfect size, excellent amenities, on-going events all year long, charming community w/ excellent restaurants, shopping, golf but most importantly- half block to the beach! I'm usually not an 'ocean swimmer but the water here is crystal clear & you can see all the way down to the white sand.
Location!!! Nestled perfectly between destin & panama city beach away from the crowds in a beautiful natural environment surrounded by parks, lakes & dunes and we can walk right out of the bungalow to the infamous 'emerald coast' to watch the most beautiful sunsets over the white sandy beach ! Cottage is comfortable & the perfect size! Wonderful selection of restaurants, leisure activities to please all ages.
We had a great time at She Sells Seashells. The pictures don't do the place justice. The place was very clean and well maintained. The decorations add to the atmosphere at the bungalow. Teresa had everything there that we needed from the cart to take the beach things to the beach, beach chairs, umbrella, plenty of beach towels, cooler, bikes, etc. The kitchen is also well stocked. We will definitely stay here again when we come back. It was also nice having the small pool right outside the bungalow. The only downside (for the kids) was there is no Wi-Fi but they survived :) Teresa was very nice to talk to and helpful when I had a question. Thanks again Teresa and Grant.
Cozy and comfortable, the cottage is very clean and well equipped. Beds are very nice. I would definitely come back and recommend to my friends. Rent with confidence.
My husband & I stayed for a wedding in June and absolutely loved the bungalow. The pictures don't do the place justice. It was very clean and had everything you needed for the beach. There is no need to bring beach chairs, towels, etc. The owners were wonderful to work with. We definitely plan on staying with you guys again. Thanks for making it a great trip!
This is our 4th stay in the Bungalows of Seaside and this particular unit was by far our favorite. The pictures do not do the unit justice: it is decorated with high-end decor (no basement leftovers or IKEA here) and truly felt like a home rather than a vacation rental. In addition, the unit had almost every incidental we could have needed. If you have ever stayed in a bare-bones rental, this point will not be lost on you. Beach equipment? Check. Extra bedding? Check. Extra padding for the pull-out couch? Check. Dog bed so your dog stays off the furniture? Check! Grill? Check. Bikes? Check. Q-tips? Check. Organized junk drawer with all the little stuff you didn't remember to pack? Check. :)
Furthermore, the owner was available to answer questions both before and during our stay. For instance, unbeknownst to me, we had an issue with our payment arriving and, rather than renting the unit to someone else when my money didn't show up, the owner reached out to me to ask if we were still coming (vacation saved!!!). During the stay, I needed a couple small things and she was very quick to answer my text messages.
The area itself is a real treasure, which is why we have returned each year for our spring break. The Bungalows are conveniently located close to the gorgeous beach and bike path, so you can bike to all the other nearby beach communities and leave your car parked. The pool/hot tub area at the Bungalows is always a hit with my family and, on days when the beach is too windy or cold, the pool offers a nice reprieve. It is never overly crowded and we always meet nice people poolside.
The only potential downside to this property is that, at the time of our stay, it did not have wi-fi. We were able to use our smart phones with some success, but we could not use laptops. I am a teacher and had planned to sit on the balcony to enter report card comments and I was really bummed to have to go to a coffee shop instead. Yes, the wi-fi was free at the coffee shop, but I really wanted to relax and complete the task. Having to go to another location put a kink in that plan. On the other hand, lack of wi-fi "forced" my two teenagers to disconnect and re-connect. They are not particularly tech-dependent, so after their initial disappointment, all was fine, but for some families, lack of wi-fi could be more problematic. Wi-fi is in the works?? I sure hope so because then this unit will be perfect.
We loved the bungalow. Beach theme decorations were beautiful. Nice to have beach chairs, umbrella, and towels available. The kitchen was great if you wanted to cook and eat in, which we chose not to do. Loved the area, lots of things to do when you aren't at the beach. Bikes and bbq grill too. Thanks for a great week, hoping we can do it again this year.
We decided to take a trip to SeaGrove last minute and looked all over for a place that was reasonably priced and pet friendly. This bungalow is just that! It's very nicely decorated, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. The kitchen was nicely stocked and even had a margarita machine that we frequently used. Nice bar area and eating nook in the kitchen as well. The top floor deck was perfect for a nighttime drink!
It was a quick 5 minute max walk to the beach-which was not very crowded and very nicely kept. It was a short bike ride or car ride to neighboring Seaside. There were several great restaurants closeby as well. The area over all is family and pet friendly, yet is not a loud area though. Very quiet even when highly occupied.
This was the first trip we were able to bring the dogs on, and this place was perfect for pets. They had dog toys, towels, leashes and bowls all provided if needed. I think the dogs enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Despite being pet friendly, this place was very clean. No signs of previous pet damage at all. The pictures are spot on, but this place is even cuter in person.
The owners were very quick to respond and very accommodating. I have no complaints about this place whatsoever. I highly recommend it and will hopefully stay here again in the future. If you're looking for a nice,relaxing trip while staying under a budget, this place is great! Great bungalow near a truly great beach and town. Amazing trip!
Natural scenic area nestled a short distance away from the hustle & bustle of Destin & Panama City Beach. Enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, golf, bike riding, all water sports-both on the lakes and in the Gulf.

Equus as Muse
My Etsy "Equus" shop is where I feature artworks where the horse is subject. Horses are a vital part of my life and my art practice. You can always find me at the barn if not in the studio! I have two bodies of work, so to speak, in this shop: "Art at the Ringside" and "Equus."
The "Ringside" series I create at the actual ringsides of horse shows and arenas. They are quick watercolors reflecting what's happening at the moment...horses schooling for a dressage class, jumpers galloping over oxers and even naughty, tense moments when it's not going so well. I imagine myself riding these horses, feeling the movement and aids, and I paint it as I feel it. Each is unique and emotive.
in the Equus series I work with the horse in myth and spirit. I am attracted to dark tales of the Apocalypse as well as the lighter imagery of the horse as guiding spirit. The Equus Series shows horses in motion through an abstract landscape. The strong, emotive gestures in these images suggest movement forward, a way of getting through and getting beyond one's own personal history. The horse inspires and perhaps represents my own artistic process.

Reader: 9News hypocritical for trying to block Kyle Dyer dog bite footage
The comments continue to pile up on posts about 9News' Kyle Dyer and her dog-bite injury, including one featuring an admission in a Today show story that the station has been trying to keep attack footage off the Internet because of the traumatizing effect on staffers. This rationale prompted from passionate responses from readers -- including this one.
Mkavanagh519 writes:
The same people who go through amazing lengths to report and video tape anything horrific, (the worse, the better it seems to be) happening to ''everyday'' people. Then a horrible story unfolds involving ''one of them,'' a co-worker non the less, not just ''everyday'' people. Suddenly, despite having a SHOCKING HEADLINE STORY and excellent LIVE FOOTAGE of the event, it's not something they feel needs to be shared with the world and broadcast!!! Just goes to show they do know what they're putting people through when they're ''just trying to get the story." They just dont give a shit!!! BASTARDS!

Platypus in a Pocket Bed
Approximate weight including packaging 0.02kg
This pint-sized platypus is rather shy and likes to hide in his little bed.

The platypus is 6.5 x 3 cm.
The pocket bed is 7 x 5 cm.
Note: This item may not be suitable for children under three years of age due to the use of beads and the small size of some components.
The colour design and size of all items remain the same, but the stitching may vary slightly from the photo shown. This is because each item is sewn with great attention to detail.

text:
Carcinoids are slow growing tumors that originate in the nerve cells that interact with the endocrine system. They are generally benign and don't show any symptoms, although if they are found during other surgeries, they are still dangerous enough to remove routinely. When they do show symptoms, they are typical of overproduction of one or more hormones, which can lead to diarrhea, flushing, wheezing, abdominal cramps, and edema in the peripheries. Carcinoid syndrome is typical when these tumors mestasticize.
Surgery is the preferred option as these tumors generally do not respond to chemotherapy due to their characteristically slow growth, even after metastasis.

Description: The first book from an amazing new talent. In what we predict will be the most impressive comics debut of 2005, Kikuo Johnson has created an intimate and compelling graphic novel-length drama of young men on the cusp of adulthood. Loren Foster was handed an island paradise when he moved to Hawaii with his father six years ago. But, with the end of high school just around the corner, his best friend Shane has grown distant. Their friendship is put to the test when they get mixed up in a frivolous crime that leads to an arrest. What sets Kikuo's drama apart is the naturalistic ease with which he explores the relationships of his characters. Visually, Johnson captures the languid tropical climate and strip mall tackiness of Hawaii in a rich chiaroscuro style reminiscent of Milton Caniff combined with the sensual ink work of Paul Pope or Jessica Abel. Kikuo Johnson's debut graphic novel is a compassionate, hard-nosed coming of age story, an unsentimental portrait of that most awkward period between adolescence and adulthood, and that rarest of things--a mature depiction of immature lives. "Kirkus Reviews" writes, "Johnson's debut is not only remarkably assured but astonishingly fresh, one that refuses to trade in the usual hoary high-school cliches A dark, grand, sweeping dream of a book."

Zac Efron Is Battling The Demons Of Addiction
Zac Efron Is Battling The Demons Of Addiction
And other child stars who struggle with substance abuse, and why it's so common.
Fan were surprised to hear that Efron had checked into rehab earlier this year for cocaine use. The actor is known for his clean cut image and seemingly put together lifestyle, which is rarity among stars who've enjoyed early success.
Efron became a household name after starring in Disney's High School Musical at the age of 17. His professionalism both on and off set, as well as his avoidance of the typical Hollywood partying lifestyle reinforced his image as a squeaky clean Disney actor.
Efron came from a non-Hollywood background and told interviewers that he liked to keep himself grounded by remembering to express gratitude for all the work and opportunities he's had.
Efron has also mentioned that he does like to go out and party like any other young actor, but gave the impression that it was all done in moderation. Recently the partying had intensified, according to sources, and Efron found himself surrounded by people who only made abusing drugs and alcohol more convenient.
After Rehab
After completing rehab last April, Efron has relied on the support of his family and girlfriend to keep him on a path of continued sobriety. He's received support from his fans, as well as actor Rob Lowe who also struggled with substance abuse as a young actor in the 1980's. Efron is continuing to focus on working, including an upcoming role in a feature drama and is expected to make a full recovery.
The Addictions That Plague Young Stars
Not all young stars conquer their drug and alcohol addictions as seemingly easily as Efron. On any given day, news of an arrest, repeated stint in rehab, or out of control behavior of a young celebrity can be found making the headlines.
The names change over the years, but the story is still the same. So why do so many young entertainers fall victim to the partying lifestyle which inevitably includes drinking and abusing drugs. It seems that the pressures associated with being young and successful in Hollywood are too much to handle.
Here are a few examples of celebrities who discovered drugs and alcohol at an early age, and then found their way to recovery.
undefined1. Drew Barrymore is best known for her early role in E.T. as well as her childhood struggles with drinking and drugs. Barrymore started partying as early as 8 years old. After several stints in rehab, she overcame her addictions and went on to continue her career as an actress, director, and producer.
2. Mischa Barton starred in the hit tv show The O.C. and then made headlines with her wild behavior and trouble with the law. Today, she's cleaned up her act with the help of drug treatment and looks forward to continuing her career.
3. Robert Downey Jr. tried drugs for the first time when he was 6 and became addicted as one of Hollywood's hottest actors in the 1980's. After several run ins with the law, Downey cleaned up his act and continues to work in Hollywood today.
4. Nicole Richie was addicted to cocaine, heroin, and marijuana and got in trouble with the law, getting in a few accidents and arrested three times. She conquered her addictions and now is a mother and fashion icon.
5. Michael J. Fox began abusing alcohol after he discovered he had Parkinson's disease in 1991. After going to treatment for alcoholism, Fox has continued to act on television and continues to do work as an activist for awareness of Parkinson's Disease.

He talked to the army and they told him due to the JHJ, he has to wait 2 years to reenter. The 2B he only has to wait 92 days to reenter, the JHJ is the one giving him the problem.
No Sir, all he needs is a change in the separation code to join the army, they take 2B without waivers. And the reason for his separation should read JHF which is failure to meet course standards.
On the DD Form 293, you can request change narrative reason for separation, would that not fall under that request?

GTX 560TI FPB: White Lines in safe mode, error 43 in normal 640x480
Hello everyone,
I have recently purchased a used GTX 560 TI from ebay. The seller has been great working with me, so no problem there. He says the card was working in his friends machine "they watched youtube videos."
I purchased a custom built pc in 2009. Specs were:
Windows 7 64 home premium. "Authentic"
AMD Phenonm Processer II x4 945
Motherboard: Gigabyte MA790GPT-UD3H
Power: Fatality 550 watt.
Ram: OCZ DDR3 4gb
Motherboard Graphics "currently using" ATI Radeon HD 3300
Former Graphics Card: BFG GTX 275 "Artifacting"
About a month ago the card died. I believe it was from not being cleaned, b/c I never did "shame on me" for 3 years of usage. I purchased the 560, and upon instalation received white lines. After windows auto installed the hardware, I restarted. This resulted in windows booting with lines again and in 640x480 "forced" res. The card is stopped by windows b/c of error 43.
I spent days researching and 3 hours with a local tech last night. We have done everything past the point of the normal check list. Deleted old drivers with driver sweeper. Tried multiple drivers from EVGA. Used Device doctor, Driver Reviver, every driver updated.. Still error 43..
Funny things happening....
One time, after many attempts, was able to boot with no lines, drivers installed. Started Batman, lines then crashed.
Installed Radeon drivers to onboard graphics. The bios is set to PCIE primary "went through most of the bios with the tech." After I installed the radeon, re-installed 560+new drivers, black screen now after windows starting.
White lines in safe mode.
Re-installed 285 driver, can reboot, with forced 640x480 res.
Tried to re-install new driver, in 640x480, received message You are not using a display attached to an Nvdia gpu.
Have not flashed the bios as tech has not recommended yet.
Weird thing happened when using the free version of NvidiaXP Driver updater. The updater found an acient driver of my old GTX 275. But I used driver sweeper and cleared/delete pretty much all Nvidia files.
If anyone wants to tackle this problem, much appreciative. The seller is willing to pay if the card doesn't work "but I'd rather not go that route as he needed the money"
The worst issue is, and he is working on it, I don't have a SN# on the back of the card. He said in the ad, his friend got the card in a gaming pc but used his own and left the 560 in the static bag until sold. Every other tag is on there, just missing that.
Thank you everyone reading and hope to hear back..

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
The card is dead, wouldn't come up with those sorts of faults unless the card was fried, the seller and his friends inexperience has unfortunately broken the card, probably from pulling it out the computer without first grounding themselves, the tiniest little shock can destroy the card, I fear this is what's happened

I concur with what has been said above.
As regards eBay itself, I don't use it myself (and have no intention in doing so), but I would exercise caution when purchasing items there. Caveat emptor.

The ATI drivers do not appear when the 560 is installed. I can uninstall them, however they were not showing up in device manager when the 560 was being installed.
Yes if this the case of it being dead I will report that to the seller. Just want to make sure there isn't anything I need to change that hasn't been changed..

Windows 10 Home Premium 64bit sp1
The ATI drivers do not appear when the 560 is installed. I can uninstall them, however they were not showing up in device manager when the 560 was being installed.
Yes if this the case of it being dead I will report that to the seller. Just want to make sure there isn't anything I need to change that hasn't been changed..
so no conflict in drivers if the gpu gives off a constant code 43 then it is done
I would make the guys who sold it to you take it back because any label removed is basicly voiding warrenty and they did it
I could almost bet the card was already damaged and the guy bought another and pawned it off on someone else
Ask for a full refund and if he says no file a small claims against the person there should be some kind of proof that he took the label off they don't just come off on there own and no custom pc by a retailer would do that either you got DUPED !

Thanks for all the help.
I've gotten a refund and since bought a new "sealed" EVGA 560 ti.
Upon initial startup, I received a warning from the bios for the computer being overclocked. I changed the M.I.T MHZ section from 200mhz to auto "200 was what the computer store set it at and what I was running for 3 years prior."
I installed the drivers, and downloaded Guild Wars 2. I left my machine on for 3 hours and came back everything was done. I restarted and booted up Bat Man to see if the card was working. Evrything booted fine, the fans revved up while in the game. I shut the game down after about 2 mins "just wanted to see if it was working"
During the exiting process my screen went black and I was unable to shutdown the pc by holding down the on/off button. I had to flip the switch on the power supply. I tried restarting and the bios does not appear and there is no beep. The fans are running, the on/off is lit up and the red light on my OCZ 550 watt is on along with the fan. I called my tech friend and he asked me to try removing the ram. The motherboard beeped with the ram removed. He told me that was not the problem and it is possible the power supply is shot.
Im going to buy 600 watt tomorrow and find out. If anyone else has any recommendations please let me know.
Thank you for all your time.

Looking good at work is important if you want to be taken seriously. Not only should you look good, but you should also dress appropriately for the office environment. Follow these steps and you'll soon be climbing the corporate ladder, in stylish shoes no less.
Dress in a pinstriped suit for more formal work environments. You can dress more casually by pairing slacks or a skirt with a blouse. The blouse shouldn't be low cut or too tight. A button-up shirt is also acceptable.
Wear conservative colors, such as blacks, browns and grays. You can wear other colors, but they shouldn't be too bright. If you want to add a little color, wear a black or grey suit with a pastel colored shirt underneath.
Don shoes that are both comfortable and appropriate for the office environment. Keep heels under 3 inches. Dress flats are also acceptable.
Accessorize. Wear only one pair of earrings and keep your rings to a minimum. A simple pendant or broach will add some flair while keeping your look polished and professional.
Wear a business suit in professional office environments, even if you'll end up taking the tie and jacket off before the day is over. Wear a white, button-down shirt under your suit. You can wear slacks and a sweater or a button down shirt with a tie in more casual environments.
Add color and flare with a silk tie. While you should stick to subtle tones of gray, black and brown for your general attire, a colorful or ornate silk tie is a great way to bring a splash of color to your look.
Slip on some fancy shoes. You should wear lace up dress shoes that are well-polished. Your socks should match your shoes. Even though most people won't see your socks, you don't want to get caught wearing white athletic socks with your suit.
Accessorize. Wear a simple watch that isn't too large or flashy. Carry a leather briefcase in either brown or black and make sure your belt matches your shoes.
Shave. There's nothing more unprofessional than a scruffy face, so make sure your face is smooth before that big meeting.
Tips & Warnings
- Have your office clothes professionally dry cleaned and pressed.
- Observe how higher ups in your office are dressed. This is the best way to get an idea of what's appropriate and what is not. Dressing for a job above yours shows that you're looking to advance. You can be trendy, but not flashy.
- Never wear open toed shoes or sandals in the office environment.

text: John Carter of Simpler Options takes a macro look at the market. As of last week, the yen continues to be a key driving factor and here is what he is following for the currency in relation to stock indexes along with updates on existing positions. Yen futures are going down and the dollar is moving higher which is very bullish for stocks. So now the question is, is the yen at support? That will be key to see if there may be a change in composure. Some individual names to watch for directional plays include FedEx which has performed well and 3M which is more indicative of Dow movement. Carter also takes a look at levels in Netflix and Apple.
