The doctor changed his tone with me when the procedure wasn't working. He denies any mishaps. Don't believe their hype that 'we will never leave you alone'. They totally left me alone.

Poor staff. Beware.
Lots of shanaganans going on with his office staff. If you want people to play games with your health, this is the place to go. Dr. Is okay but is probably unaware of the games his staff can play. Was going to let him know what was going on and got a call that my appt was canceled and not to come on property. This how they deal with whistleblowers.

The wait isn't worth it!
Dr. Hawasli is a greatly recommend Doctor, but his appointment practices are atrocious! You will wait hours! And I mean maybe some time 4 hours to see this man! As far as I'm concerned no one is worth that wait!

Dr Hawasli is an experience that has changed my life far above & beyond my original expectations. He is an educated man & medicine seems to be naturally encoded in his DNA. He is a compassionate man who genuinely cares about the overall well being of his patients. In the future, should I receive a medical diagnosis that requires surgery, Dr Hawasli will be the first man I contact. Not only is he a brilliant surgeon, I suspect that he is also a beautiful & giving humanitarian. Thank You Dr Hawasli for saving my life.

Amazing surgeon
I would recommend this surgeon 100%. He operated on my father and not only did I feel like my dad was taken care of by the best, I also felt like I was kept informed of all possible senerios. Everytime I saw him, even if only for a few minutes, I never got the impression he was rushing or treating me different because I was a female. I'm sure he is extremely booked bc he's great at what he does. After taking my father on as a pt I thought he was extremely attentive and caring. I think of him as a role model for anyone in the medical field and greatful for finding him to care for my family

Doesn't like women
I am not sure if he is adequate surgeon or not. He would not answer my question or even look at me. After I asked straight forward question twice with him completely ignoring me my husband finally asks him same question and then he decided it was worth his time to answer the question. I complained to his staff and they told me outright that he doesn't respect women at all. I would never trust him.

Waiting time
Great doctor, but extremely overbooked. For both of my appts I waited at least 2 hours in a very small room packed with people and no TV. Everyone in the waiting room did nothing but complain. He did a great surgery on me, and that's what really counts, but the wait time is outrageous.

Pokémon Official Magazine
The Pokémon Official Magazine is the world's first official Pokémon magazine. Released in the United Kingdom, the first issue went on sale October 1st, 2004, and had 92 pages.
The launch issue came with three gifts. Six Pokémon fridge magnets, a double sided poster, and a 3-D Charmander model were included in the package. Editor Tim Street made the following statement regarding the release of Pokémon Official Magazine:
"There has never been a better time to launch this title; fans have demanded it for years, ever since the very first Pokémon phenomenon swept the globe at the turn of the millennium. The appetite for Pokémon has never waned - just look at the amazing sales success of the Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire Game Boy Advance titles last year."
The magazine was intended to be quarterly, with a new issue planned for release four times a year. However, due to poor sales, the magazine was canceled after its second issue.
The magazine was, however, later revived and is published in other European countries, such as Denmark, the Netherlands and Greece. A special "Premiere Issue" of the magazine has also appeared in the United States and Canada.

Cinnamon Swirl Loaf
Recipe by LuuvBunny
This recipe comes from the Watkins website.When I was making it,there didn't seem like there would be enough batter but it rose perfectly.This is one of the tastiest loaves I have made,very moist and simple to put together.Mine took 1 hour to bake in a convection oven.
Top Review by Curlee
This loaf is very delicious. I like the fact that it makes only one loaf. Not that I wouldn't like to eat two. I used Penzeys cinnamon and butter, not margarine. Baked the first 30 minutes at regular bake and then switched to convection for 35 more minutes and it was perfect. Thank you.

A.N. –Our sincerest apologies for the hiatus on this fic, which is now over. This fic will currently be our priority until it is completed. Thank you for bearing with us, all those who have, and all those who haven't… COME BACK, WE HAVE PIE!
RECAP – Jo Harvelle shows up on Bobby Singer's doorstep, very much alive, and with no memories of where she has been. After she passes all the tests, Dean is ready to welcome her back with open arms and seize his missed chance, whilst Sam is quietly suspicious. Dean asks Sam to allow Jo to hunt with them, and slowly, Dean and Jo begin building a romantic relationship. After a hunt at a carnival which sees Sam go unexpectedly solo, the group returns to their motel, Dean and Jo finally rooming together, only for Sam to disappear the next morning without explanation. With Jo at his side, Dean embarks on a mission to torture as many demons as necessary in order to gain information regarding Sam's whereabouts, but all he is succeeding in doing is destroying his own sanity. Sam is in fact being held by the angel Michael, who has managed to crawl out of the cage, and who also admits to having been the one to resurrect Jo, only because he is eager to destroy Dean by once again taking her from him. And so, the story continues…
Angels and Personal Demons
Chapter Six
One month later...
Jo hands trembled as she worked, and her breathing echoed in her own ears, sounding laboured and raspy as a consequence of fear. She soaked the wad of gauze in iodine before daubing it gently over the laceration on Dean's forehead. He stirred and groaned, but his eyes did not open, and Jo swallowed hard as she continued to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
Dean was a mess, and Jo ached from head to toe. They had both received one of the worst beatings they had endured for a long while. A tip off from a demon had led to an apparently abandoned house, which the hunters had discovered, too late, was actually crawling with a dozen burly, black-eyed meat-suits, who had taken exception to Dean and Jo's recent penchant for torturing their buddies for information they claimed not to have. The forces of darkness were pissed and, for once, they had reason to be craving Winchester blood on their hands.
Castiel had arrived just in time, summoned by Dean's frantic calls, and had transported them back to their motel as Dean had succumbed to unconsciousness. After staring at Jo steely eyed for several intense seconds, Castiel had merely disappeared from view with a flutter of unseen wings, leaving the blonde to tend both of their injuries.
Jo brushed the back of her hand against her nose, not surprised to find a splash of blood stain her skin. A deep, pulsing throb had settled into her left shoulder, and she winced through gritted teeth as she leant forward to pass a damp washcloth over Dean's face. Watching his fluttering eyelids begin to open slowly, Jo leant back and surveyed him with unchecked concern, and a lump rose up in her throat at the conversation she knew was pending.
Dean groaned as he leant up on his elbows, and he eased himself up the bed with a muffled list of expletives to a near sitting position.
Jo busied herself with dabbing another iodine soaked piece of cotton against his forehead, and willed her hand to stop shaking as it connected with his skin.
Dean watched her closely, and an uneasy silence descended upon the pair until the tension in the room was palpable.
Releasing an unsteady breath, Jo finally consented to hold his gaze, and a sudden, rolling nausea rose up from her stomach as she saw the undeniable sadness in his eyes.
His fingers curled around her wrist, and he gently moved her hand away from his face.
"I'm okay," he said stoically.
Jo sighed and stared down at her hands in her lap.
"How long are we going to do this for, Dean?" she began, wringing her hands as she continued, "are you gonna carry on torturing demons forever? Because... I can't watch you destroy yourself, and I won't."
She lifted her gaze and Dean blanched as he saw tears streaming down her cheeks, "This isn't who you are. You're so much better than this."
Dean shook his head and smiled somewhat sadly, "Maybe I'm not. You ever think this is who I really am, huh? Maybe this is the real me."
Jo gulped down a sob, refusing to buckle under her anguish and fear. Instead, she looked away from Dean, the curl of her lip telling him that she was disgusted.
The hunting hiatus at Bobby's had lasted barely a week, before Dean had been chomping at the bit to get back on the road and begin tearing up the surrounding states for any information about Sam. The week had passed pleasantly enough, but something with Dean was undeniably off the whole time. He talked and ate dinner and drank Bobby's beers as usual, but his laughter was forced and hollow, and at night, when he thought Jo was sleeping, he would steal from the bed to sit on the porch and simply stare out across the lot. Jo had tried to be as understanding as she was capable of being, even coming to the realisation that, so long as Sam was missing, there would always be something a little off with Dean. She had hit the road once more with her boyfriend with barely a backward glance at the old hunter who had waved them off from his stoop. However, in the wake of the evening's events, as her whole body protested against the beating it had taken, and as her mind screamed at her to take charge of the situation as she should have done from the very beginning, Jo refused to simply keep quiet.
"Bull… shit…" she hissed, balling her hands into fists and glaring at Dean through narrowed eyes. She leaned towards him, hissing suddenly as her aching stomach muscles sent a jolt of pain ricocheting through her body, and she pressed her palm to the spot where she had been kicked repeatedly by the three demons who had finally gotten her down on the ground. She closed her eyes momentarily against the images of Dean, surrounded and falling, calling out for Castiel, even though his eyes said he had resigned himself to a fate worse than death.
Dean was almost too ashamed to look at her, to watch the signs of physical pain his vendetta had caused her; the emotional pain he knew he continued to inflict made his heart constrict. Because in all his life, she was the only woman he had ever really loved with everything he had. Knowing he was the cause of her misery and of the tears streaming from her brown eyes was almost too much to bear.
Realisation began to flood his mind. His brother was in all likelihood dead, and he was destroying the one good thing he had left. Dean could live with self-destruction; it was a sentiment he was all too familiar with- but he would not do that to Jo. She deserved better.
Dean clutched at his ribs as he sat up slowly, and he swung his legs over the edge of the bed to sit beside her.
Licking his lips, dried through fear and split from the fray, Dean lowered his eyes to the ground and closed his eyes at the words readied on his tongue.
"It's over," he said hoarsely, meeting Jo's teary gaze. She nodded hesitantly, watching a myriad of emotions flood his features, led by regret and defeat.
Jo's bottom lip trembled, and she continued to bob her head slowly in understanding, as his hand landed over hers and he fought to entangle their fingers.
"I'm so sorry, Jo," Dean swallowed hard, "for everything. And, I wouldn't blame you if you packed up and left... I... "
Jo shook her head, turning over her hand that rested under his, until their palms were pressed tightly against each other.
"I'm here," she smiled through her tears, and reached up to cup his cheek, "I'm not going anywhere."
The pad of her thumb swept his jaw, and a steady line of tears began to leak from his eyes.
"He's gone," Dean admitted aloud, pain and misery contorting his features, "Sam's gone, and... and I can't bring him back."
"Shhh…" Jo soothed, curling her legs beneath her body with some effort as she moved into Dean's side and moulded her body against him. They were both still trembling forcefully, a combination of factors sending their bodies into shock.
They remained silent, Jo simply enveloping Dean in her arms as best she could given their considerable size difference. Dean pressed against her limply, all his fight gone now, and his eyes simply affixed on some unknown spot on the ceiling as salty tears continued to track down his cheek. Jo longed to say something that would help – anything that would help- but she was not still naïve enough to believe that mere words could suffice in every situation.
Jo had finally opened her mouth, poised to at least offer some affirmation to Dean, when the flutter of wings dragged both of the hunters from their reverie. They did not move from each other's arms, both slumped against the mattress, simply staring at Castiel as he glowered down at them.
"What you did tonight was reckless, Dean," he all but growled, his gaze wavering to Jo as he added sourly, "and I am surprised that you went along with it, Joanna."
Jo stayed silent, and the couple simply remained sprawled side by side, like sulky teenagers being reprimanded by their celestial elder.
Dean cleared his throat and attempted to shift the focus of the conversation from blame to a more appreciative tone he hoped Cas would approve of.
"Thanks, man... for helping us out back there."
Castiel arched a dark eyebrow and glanced between the pair, "I am not in the habit of letting my friends get torn limb from limb; no matter how irresponsible or distasteful I find their behaviour. I hope you will finally reconsider your actions of late. This attitude cannot be allowed to prevail, Dean. You will get yourself or Joanna killed, perhaps both... I had assumed from studying human behaviour that there was an innate desire to protect your mate. I do not understand why you continue to put yourself, or the woman you profess to care for, in danger."
Jo wrinkled her nose at the use of the term, but Dean looked thoroughly embarrassed and more than a little ashamed.
Sighing heavily, Dean's jaw set as he turned his gaze from the angel, "Yeah, well if you're here to give me a wake-up call, Cas, you're too late. So you can stop with the lecture before you get the part about me being socially damaged and a general all-round asshole."
Jo frowned, glancing up and mouthing the words 'socially damaged' to Dean with a quizzical expression.
"Dr. Phil," Dean explained quietly, shrugging off any further tirade from Castiel as he left the angel wincing in well-practised confusion.
"Very well," Castiel replied eventually, nodding at Dean, although his lips were still twisted into a scowl of evident displeasure. "Do you require healing?"
Albeit rather reluctantly, Dean shook his head, trying not to allow the pain he actually endured to reflect on his features.
"Thinking I kind of deserve this," Dean answered, his smile wry as he regarded the angel, who snorted in agreement.
A few moments of heavy silence followed, before Castiel sucked in a breath and took an almost hesitant step towards the hunters. Dean leaned forwards expectantly, seeing the look of fleeting uncertainty pass over the angel's face.
"I know that look, Cas," Dean said softly, his eyes narrowing as he stared at his friend, who ducked his head momentarily and jammed his hands into the pockets of his old trench coat.
Castiel faltered in a very un-angelic display, and he cleared his throat as he stared down at his friend and nodded his head.
"You asked me to continue my search for Sam..." Cas began.
Dean quirked an eyebrow and swallowed down the sense of dread he felt rapidly enclosing on him.
"Yeah, so?"
Castiel watched Jo squeeze Dean's hand in reassurance, "I have been unable to find any information on his whereabouts and... I am no longer able to sense his energy."
Jo's lips felt impossibly dry, and she licked them nervously, "What does that mean, Cas?"
Dean stared down at his lap, trying to hold back the tears he felt beginning a slow burn from the back of his throat.
Castiel sighed, and Jo flinched as she detected sadness in his tone, "It means I believe he is no longer on this Earth."
"He's dead," Dean said quietly, looking up quickly at the angel and clumsily swiping a fresh onslaught of tears from his face with his fingertips.
The angel bowed his head solemnly, "I know this is not the news you wanted to hear, yet I suspect it is what you anticipated."
Dean's hands fell into his lap, and he clasped them there until his knuckles began to whiten. His jaw set and Dean nodded, but his chiselled features were devoid of anger now, and he leaned a little closer to Jo. His shoulders slumped and his head dropped- his defeat evident in his countenance.
"I am very sorry," Cas said softly, his tone bordering on achieving genuine sympathy.
Remaining mute, Dean nodded once again. Letting out a pained sigh, Jo peered up at Castiel through watery eyes.
"I got it from here, Cas," she murmured, adding quickly, "thanks again for earlier."
"You're welcome," Castiel replied, and before Jo had even finished blinking, the angel had vanished entirely from the spot in which he stood.
Dean dropped his head into his hands, "I didn't want to believe it, you know? But I knew. I guess I've known all along, I just didn't want to admit it... I couldn't."
His voice emerged as little more than a whisper, and Jo sidled closer and encircled her arms around him. Dean turned into her embrace and she cradled his head against her chest.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled into the crown of his head, stroking his hair soothingly and allowing him to cling to her as if his life depended on it.
Dean's breath was hot and rushed against her neck, and she felt the fabric of her shirt becoming damp with tears.
"I was supposed to look out for him. I promised I'd take care of him," Dean said miserably, thinking back on the vow he had made to their father when he had been little more than a child himself.
"Hey," Jo said sternly, gently forcing his head up to hold her gaze, "none of this is your fault, Dean. You hear me?! None of this is your fault."
She repeated her words with a certainty that defied him to argue with her.
Jo leant her forehead against his and she pressed her palm gently to his cheek.
Dean shook his head, tears tripping freely down his cheeks as a reflection of his terrible, final acceptance; Sam was never coming home again. He averted his gaze, moving back from Jo as he attempted to swipe the moisture from his eyes.
"I don't know… how do…" Dean trailed off, his words eclipsed by the sob that bubbled up from the back of his throat, and Jo found herself crying along with him, although her tears fell quietly – a pale imitation of the gut wrenching sorrow that Dean felt at the loss of his brother.
"We don't worry about any of that right now, sweetheart," Jo breathed, raking her fingers through Dean's hair and placing both palms against his cheeks. Gently but firmly, she manipulated his head so that they were nose to nose, their eyes locked.
"You take each day as it comes," she insisted, her voice shaking horribly as she forced the words out, "believe me, this won't be easy… it'll be hard, and there'll be days you feel like quitting… some days you won't even wanna get out of bed… hell, probably some days where you'll contemplate pouring Jack Daniels on your cereal, and a few days where you'll actually do it… but you know all this, Dean… you've been here before."
She trailed off sadly, screwing her eyes shut as she sucked in a steadying breath to help steal herself against the utterly broken demeanour of the man she loved. He was sinking fast in front of her, after months of staying barely adrift, and Jo knew that she was the only one now who could pull him back to shore.
"But this time, you got me, Dean-o," she whispered, pressing a frantic kiss first to his forehead, then his jaw line, and lastly to the palm of his hand, before she brought it to rest over her heart. "You and me, together… I'm not Sam, and I'd never pretend I could take his place… I'm not something better, just something different… and I won't let you be alone through this."
Dean held her gaze, staring at her with such intensity that it made her cheeks burn.
He felt her heart pounding beneath his palm, a steady, comforting rhythm that helped regulate the gasping breaths he found himself taking. His palm slid gradually up her chest, until his fingers brushed her collar bone and his hand slid around to the back of her neck.
Dean guided her carefully closer, angling his head to brush a tender kiss against her lips.
A faint smile settled briefly on his face, and he stared at her with obvious adoration. The past could not be changed now, and though his heart would remain heavy with grief, the possibility of a future, and some semblance of a life was still before him. Sam would not be beside him to share that life, and there would always be a vacant spot in his heart that only his brother could fill. But it was not like the last time; he didn't have to surrender who he was, or betray Sam's memory. He could wake up each morning knowing who he was, for better or for worse, without having to hide his grief, or dismiss the demons he had carried since childhood. Jo wasn't Lisa, and those slowly festering feelings of unease and displacement would never exist with her. Jo was home, she was where he belonged. She was love and passion, comforting and understanding, and with her Dean had found an unfamiliar sense of safety and belonging that had eluded him almost all of his life.
"You and me," he agreed, as if making a pledge to do what he knew his brother would have wished. Sam knew Dean perhaps better than anyone, and he had seen the unspoken yearning in his older brother for the life their mother had fought so hard to attain.
Dean knew that the very least he could do now was live the life that not only Sam would have wanted for him, but that he wanted for himself. This time, there was no terrible knowledge that Sam's soul had been condemned to eternal torment to weigh down on him, and Dean could only hope that wherever his brother now was, he was finally at peace, and perhaps even at the side of the woman he had loved the most.
Dean blew out a breath and eased himself back against the mound of pillows, gently taking Jo with him, careful not to connect with any of the bruises rapidly blooming on her skin following their earlier showdown at the house.
"Tomorrow morning, we'll pack up," Dean said quietly, his voice laden with exhaustion that was also evident in the dark circles that ringed his eyes. His body felt heavy, and as though he hadn't slept in months, which Dean realised was as good as true. Now, however, there was a sense of closure that he knew would allow some semblance of sleep to claim him that night.
Several hours later and Jo awoke with a start, wrestled from slumber by the nagging ache in her ribs. Turning her head, she struggled to read the numbers on the digital clock on the nightstand. The flashing red figures told her it was almost 4 am; little more than an hour after she and Dean had eventually allowed sleep to claim them.
Dean held her in a vice like grip, his arms tight around her, and his body moulded around hers as he slept fitfully behind her. Jo rolled over as much as his arms would allow, and she stared thoughtfully at the sleeping man beside her.
Even in sleep Dean's expression was troubled, and his eyelids flickered as if his mind was still not able to rest. Jo could only guess as to the dreams that plagued him.
Nestling closer, she tucked her head beneath his chin and slipped her arm around his torso.
"We'll get through this... I promise," she vowed in a whisper, closing her eyes as she felt him pull her back into his arms.
Eventually, the slow rise and fall of his chest lulled her, and Jo fell into a deep sleep. She would not recall her dreams when she awoke the next morning; she silently prayed Dean would not either.

text: I'm thinking about trying out some of the new rear discharge mowers that are on the market now. My hesitation is that when we tried them a long time ago, they left lines of cut grass behind. Is this still a problem? Also, I've gotten to a point now that I have to put mulching kits on all of our mowers because the guys won't use the open side discharge machines for fear of flying debris breaking a window. Would rear discharge machines be the better solution?

text: MICHAEL LIEDTKESAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) â¿¿ Apple Inc.'s pencil-thin, smaller iPad will cost much more than its competitors, signaling that the company isn't going to get into a mini-tablet price war. The company unveiled the iPad Mini on Tuesday, with a screen about two-thirds the size of the full model, and half the weight. Customers can begin ordering the new model on Friday. In a surprise, Apple also revamped its flagship, full-sized iPad just six months after the launch of the latest model. Apple's late founder Steve Jobs once ridiculed a small tablet from a competitor as a "tweener" that was too big and too small to compete with either smartphones or tablets. Now Apple's own Mini enters a growing small-tablet market dominated by Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle Fire. Apple is charging $329 and up for the Mini â¿¿ a price that fits into the Apple product lineup between the latest iPod Touch ($299) and the iPad 2 ($399). Company watchers had been expecting Apple to price the iPad Mini at $250 to $300 to compete with the Kindle Fire, which starts at $159. Barnes & Noble Inc.'s Nook HD and Google Inc.'s Nexus 7 both start at $199. "Apple had an opportunity to step on the throat of Amazon and Google, yet decided to rely on its brand and focus on (profit) margin," said Bill Kreher, an analyst with brokerage Edward Jones. Apple shares fell $20.67, or 3.3 percent, to close at $613.36 after the price was announced. Shares of Barnes & Noble jumped 88 cents, or 6.1 percent, to $15.32. Shares of Amazon rose 53 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $234.31. Apple has sold more than 100 million iPads since their debut in April 2010. Analysts expect Apple to sell 5 million to 10 million iPad Minis before the year is out.

This Week Shopping Deals2:55:00 PM
If you follow me on my social media accounts you might have noticed that sometimes I posted there about several great deals that I found while shopping so that everybody else can gain some info about that too, because I personally love sale info especially if it includes big sales/discount information of my favorite stores. So that's why I like to post about the deals that I got while shopping. And since I got a warm response from my friends and lovely socmed followers so I thought I'll post about it on my blog too ;)
For instance, not a long time ago I scored these items below with an interesting discount offers:
I got this black flats at H&M around a week after their big opening here in Jakarta. I didn't know that they were on sale. I was buying some basic tees at H&M when I saw these flats for around IDR 129,000 ($12) which is already the cheapest among other shoes at the rack, so I add this to my shopping bag and head out to the cashier where they suddenly told me that the shoes have the wrong tag and that the actual price is IDR 99,000 ($9) which is even cheaper! Yay for lucky shopper ^___^
After attending an event at the mall I spent my time looking around the stores while waiting for my hubby to pick me up. I walked into Zara just to look around and spend some time, but then noticed a sale sign in a few small racks at the back of the store so I decided to look. I couldn't believe my luck when among the usual basic tees that are usually always on sale, there was a knit cardigan that were deeply discounted to only IDR 129,000 ! Usually knitwears are more expensive even when discounted, so of course I snagged the only Small size that was available on that rack and bring it to the cashier right away. I broke my shopping ban for this cardigan because the offer was too good to pass up ^o^
Book stores are one of our favorite store to hang around, so when I was walking with my hubby at the mall towards our way to the basement parking area I saw a Sale sign in a corner of the mall that was nearly hidden from all the hectic of the main hallway. As a woman we never missed a Sale sign, no matter how small the sign is, isn't it true? ;p Anyway, I told hubby that it was a book bazaar from Kinokuniya, so of course we were both excited to see it. Hubby didn't found anything but I am so lucky to have found this Who What Wear book that I have been longing to have since-like-ever, and it was less than $100,000 (less than $10)!! It was a great bargain considering the retail price of this book is $17,69 on Book Depository. It's a totally blind luck!
Another deal that I found are these goodies that I scored from the Kids area at Metro dept store in PIM 1. I was looking for a birthday gift for my niece in the kids area where I suddenly got stopped with a rack full of vintage-themed goodies like these - on 50% Off! I stopped at the rack and spend about 20 minutes browsing and looking around because they are so cheap I couldn't decide which ones to buy. When my hubby finally came to rescue me (LOL) I finally made up my mind (with the help of hubby's assistant) and only chose these 2 items because I am currently on shopping ban. I chose an ipad case (that was only IDR 60,000-ish) and a medium big travel bag for toiletries and such - both in a gorgeous vintage designs which I love.
So those are my recent purchases that I scored with deep discounts that I am lucky to have found. I love finding out sales and good offers, and I just want to share those info to you incase you are looking for discount offers too. Who doesn't love sales, right?
A more recent haul that I made just a few days ago is a much needed large black bag from the Nine West store that is currently having a discount! Yes, the Nine West store here in Jakarta are having Sale signs on their door so you might want to check them out because I got this for 50% discount ^___^
So I got a M.A.P voucher that I won from a blogging contest a while ago, and I am eyeing Nine West and Steve Madden because both brands are under M.A.P company. But Steve Madden weren't having much sales so I turned to Nine West instead.
Please be aware though, that every counter of Nine West do not have the same exact products, so what you see in store A might not be available in store B, and vice versa. I have been in and out of several Nine West stores all over Jakarta malls to find the right bag that I want to spend my vouchers on. I also found that not every counter has the best sales items. For instance, I didn't find any exciting products on several Nine West counters except for the ones in PIM 2 (that has lots of cute shoes on sale for 50% off!), and the one in Gandaria City (with more bags options that were on sale).
I noticed that the counter in PIM 2 do not have many bags and they have more options on the footwear instead, where as the counter in Gandaria City and Plaza Senayan have general amounts of bags and footwear. My favorite store is the one at Gandaria City because they have the most variety of bags on sale compared to other counters. And that is where I got this black beauty for 50% discount.
I've been wanting a new black bag that I can wear in turn with my black Ciciero bag which already have more than a good use ;) I also am having a spending ban lately so thanks to the vouchers I can get this bag for relatively cheap price. With a 50% discount + voucher from MAP, the total price that I only need to pay is only the 1/8 of the original price. Score! ^___^
I personally think that Nine West have good quality bags and shoes, and I think they frequently have sales going on so you better keep on checking their stores for Sale signs ;)
Let me know if you have information on other sales and discounts around Jakarta greater area, because I would like to know ;p
UPDATED: I just went to the mall yesterday and noticed the up-to-70%OFF Sale on Guess boutiques! Especially the accessories counter at Plaza Indonesia is having lots of bags, footwear, belts, and also several watches that are on Sale for 30 to 50 % off ! Go there now ;)
Happy Shopping,

Stoner attacks budget's highway funding
The lack of new funding for the Pacific Highway has angered a New South Wales north coast MP.
The State Opposition spokesman for roads, Andrew Stoner, says funding for projects such as the Kempsey and Ballina bypasses were simply re-announced.
The Oxley MP says there is a real risk the Prime Minister's highway upgrade deadline of 2016 will be missed.
He says there is a $5 billion shortfall.
"Somewhere along the line this is going to have to be funded by either the federal and or the State Government," he said.
"So far neither of those Labor governments have shown the right level of priority.
"The only way in which the Pacific Highway featured in the federal budget is by way of re-announcement.
"That is, they've re-announced things they've already funded."
Mr Stoner says it is a huge disappointment there is no new money for the roadworks and there will be more deaths on the highway.
"There's nothing new in this and there's a real risk that the promised deadline of finishing the job by 2016 will not be achieved," he said.

In 2008-09, he skippered Green Dragon to a fifth place and then led Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing's debut in the race in 2011-12, finishing third.
Following that mathematical progression, this time the veteran racer is aiming for the top step on the podium.
I talked to Ian yesterday, in mid-Atlantic returning from Newport to the UK, as part of their pre-race train. That interview is below.
Today, I talked to the youngest skipper so far entered in the Volvo race, American Charlie Enright who is the skipper of Team Avimedica. Also on a passage to the UK, the two boats started together in Newport are forbidden from racing but Enright, did tell me the two boats are within 10 miles of each other.
Almost all the crew is under 30 but Will Oxley has taken on the navigator role, which is an enormous boost to the team. We will publish the interview with Enright tomorrow and then we will talk to the Aussie navigator when he hits dry land.
As Alicante, the race start point is less than 100km from the Sail-World European base, we will be reporting in greater detail than ever before on this race.
Mat Belcher and Will Ryan took out the Open European titles today, as expected, lots of pix and results.
Vale, John Walker, a sailor and a gentleman, whose very English voice used to fascinate on radio skeds.
More new later.

When conditions are duplicated and edited they are not workingAsked by vsovizsla on March 07, 2017 at 03:31 PMI've discovered that copying the condition statements and editing them leads to them not working. I don't know if this is just an issue with V4 but the problem clearly lies with Jotform. So I have to start from scratch each time and build a new conditional statement. As there are many, all using the same logic, this has meant an awful lot of unwanted time and effort on my part. Not happy!
JotForm Support
I have cloned your form and I made several tests, but I was not able to replicate mentioned issue. Each condition that I duplicated was working after it was edited and applied to new option.
On my cloned form I have duplicated conditions for FDX option and I have edited duplicated conditions to be applied to new option (Test).
Here is my cloned form: https://form.jotform.com/70655678662974
Can you please tell us with which conditions have you duplicated?
You can also switch back to Version 3 of our Form Builder and edit your form there if you think that this issue is related to Version 4 only.
You can switch back to Version 3 on settings page of your account.
I cleared my caches, switched from Chrome to Firefox & still the problems persisted. I finally switched back to Version 3, deleted all conditions that weren't working at all or not properly, created all new conditions (for the Nth time) and FINALLY, everything now works. I spent untold hours on the conditions for this form. It should NOT be that way so I can only assume that V4 is "buggy" still.
JotForm Support
Glad that everything works now when you have switched to version 3 and edited your form there. We will keep monitoring about the Version 4 builder. However, if you will encounter again any issues, do get us back.

Where are the nice guys? Why the good girls always been destroyed by jerks?
Most Helpful Guy
"Nice guys" are douchebags who think they are automatically entitled to a hot girlfriend and sex because they practice chivalry ("I held the door open for you, where's my thank you blowjob?). They talk about how they are always friendzoned, how women are to blame for all of their love life misfortunes, and about the tyranny of "alpha" males.
In reality, the douchebags vs nice guys fight is really just "Type A" douchebags vs "Type B" douchebags. The problem with "nice guys" is ANYONE can be nice. It's an act. That's why parents tell tier kids to "be nice" when they're fighting. They aren't saying the HAVE to be kind and benevolent towards each other, they just have to PRETEND to like each other, so mom can get some damn peace and quiet.
The douchebags get women because they act nice until they get sex whereas the "nice guys" act nice but they don't end up getting sex from their lack of confidence. They aren't any different, other than the fact the douchebags manage to get laid while the nice guys sit at home and complain about it on GaG.
That's what a "nice guy" is, a douchebag that doesn't manage to get laid.11|00|10
Your argument is somewhat valid but, you don't leave an option for how some guys who are "genuinely" trying to be nice. I mean we're all humans and want to get laid but some guys do nice things for girls they actually care about, they aren't simply acting.
- Show AllShow Less
@"There is no such thing as being "genuinely nice" because niceness is an ACT."
Speak for yourself.
Did I ever say I was nice?

Great quality and customer service…
"I love working with Gourmet Ads because they offer great quality ads at great fill rates. I know that they allow me to create great income, without having my readers see not-so-pleasant ads. The customer service is also great too! "

"Gourmet Ads is super easy to install, their customer service is great. Someone always gets back to me quickly when I have a question! The Publisher Console is also easy to understand. "
Consistently high CPMs…
"I am very pleased with Gourmet Ads. They have one of the highest, consistent net CPMs of all the ad networks I work with. They have high quality ads that haven't required maintenance from me. Every other ad network displays a junk ad every now and then, which requires me to figure out where it's coming from, and have it blocked; wasting my time, and potentially having a negative effect on our site's brand, and hard earned respect in the industry. I haven't had to block anything from Gourmet Ads since we started in July 2014."

Human error was behind a speed camera fine in which a parked car was somehow confused for a speeding motorbike, officials have said.
Dave Copeland has insisted all along that his vehicle was parked outside a Chinese takeaway in Shropshire at the time of the alleged offence.
Now West Mercia Safer Roads Partnership's investigation has proved that he is innocent.
It found that his parked car was caught on the same picture as a speeding motorcycle, which was travelling 5mph over the legal 30mph limit.
The finding means that Mr Telford will have the £100 fine overturned. A spokeswoman for the Partnership says that the triggered speed camera took a picture of two vehicles.
The ticket was despatched to the non-offending road user because of human error and the wrong registration became processed.
She called the fault "extremely rare" and says such errors are put right the moment the Partnership becomes aware of the mistake, as on this occasion.
Electrician Mr Copeland, 35, got in touch with the safe-driving partnership after being told of the alleged offence at the end of last month.
He told officials that he was at a Chinese takeaway. They told him that the camera's photograph clearly showed his vehicle in a lay-by. Mr Copeland says he knew something was wrong all along.

SAN ANTONIO Jim Larranaga has always been someone who writes things down: goals, plans, things to remember, statistics, memorable things he has heard people say.
It was, he believes, at least 25 years ago that he wrote this down: "I want to be the head coach at Providence College someday."
At the time, he was an assistant coach under Terry Holland at Virginia. He had played under Dave Gavitt at Providence, graduating in 1971. He wanted to be a Division I head coach someplace, but in his dreams, that place was Providence.
In 1985, the chance came. Joe Mullaney retired from the school, and Providence Athletic Director Lou Lamoriello asked Larranaga to fly to New York to discuss the job with him.
"Lou said he thought I did a great job with the interview," Larranaga said Thursday afternoon. "But his concern was that I'd never been a Division I head coach."
Lamoriello ended up hiring Rick Pitino.
"You certainly can't knock that hire," Larranaga said. "He took them to the Final Four."
Even though he understood Pitino's hiring, Larranaga vowed he would be better prepared the next time the chance to coach Providence came up again.
"Little did I know it would be 23 years later," he said. "A lot had changed."
That's putting it mildly. Larranaga was no longer a 35-year-old assistant coach looking for his first chance. He was a coach with 22 years of Division I head coaching experience and a trip to the Final Four under his belt. He had been at George Mason for 11 years and had become a campus icon. Several weeks ago, when a faculty member named Lou Bufaro was in intensive care at a local hospital, Larranaga and his wife, Liz, went to visit him. They weren't allowed in because they weren't relatives, but they did get to see Bufaro's wife and kids.
Mrs. Bufaro said to Larranaga, "Now Lou has to live if only so I can tell him that you came to see him."
In fact, so much had changed since 1985 that when the Rev. Brian Shanley, Providence's president, offered him the job this past Sunday, Larranaga turned it down. It was, without question, the most complicated decision he has made in his professional life.
"I don't want to call it a tough decision," he said, "because it was a no-lose decision. I could stay at a place that I loved or go to my alma mater, another place that I loved. That's not tough, but it is complicated."
From the minute Tim Welsh was fired two weeks ago, Larranaga was bombarded by phone calls and e-mails from old teammates, classmates and friends at Providence. When the call from Athletic Director Bob Driscoll arrived, Larranaga knew he had to listen.
"It's my alma mater," he said. "It's a place I love, a place I'm still connected to, it's a place I want to see do well. Plus, it was a job I had wanted for years and years."
Eight days ago, Larranaga met with Driscoll in a hotel conference room near Dulles International Airport. They talked for three hours. The next day, Larranaga got an e-mail from George Mason President Alan Merten asking if they could meet Saturday. Merten had heard from Athletic Director Tom O'Connor about what was going on and wanted to let Larranaga know how much the school wanted him to stay.
"The great thing about Dr. Merten is how excited he gets about everything at George Mason," Larranaga said. "He had been to a dinner the night before at which one of our faculty members was honored as, I think, the meteorologist of the year and he was telling me all about that. He's always been great at making people feel they're part of something great at the school. He reminded me again how much I enjoyed being part of all that."
The next day it was Providence's turn again. This time Shanley flew to town and spent most of the afternoon at Larranaga's house in Fairfax, telling him his vision for the basketball program and how important it was to him for Providence to be competitive in the Big East. Larranaga was impressed and, not surprisingly, torn.
"Before he left, he offered me the job," Larranaga said. "I knew I had a lot of thinking to do. To me, there was no simple answer. I wanted input, and I wanted to think."
He got the input from Liz and from their two sons, Jay and Jon. He also called his older brothers John and Bob and his old friend Bob Rotella, a sports psychologist he became friends with while at Virginia. He talked to Gavitt. All basically said the same thing: You're the one who is going to be doing the rebuilding job or turning down your alma mater; we'll support you either way.
"We talked a lot," Larranaga said. "I listened a lot, I thought a lot. I knew I needed to make a decision soon, but I just wasn't certain."
There were some funny moments. Jay Larranaga, who plays professional basketball in Italy, e-mailed one day and, after pointing out to his father that Providence plays its game at "Dunkin' Donuts Arena," said he should demand unlimited breakfast coupons from Dunkin' Donuts because "their bagel sausages are silly good."
"He's got young kids," Larranaga said. "He knows about this stuff."
Larranaga was so uncertain about what to do that he canceled his flight to San Antonio on Wednesday morning because he needed more time to think and didn't want to be surrounded by the chaos of the coaches' hotel while deciding. He talked to Driscoll one more time Wednesday morning and then set a personal deadline for himself: noon that day.
"I was sitting in the family room with Jon," he said. "Liz was in the kitchen. I just stood up and said to the two of them, 'I'm staying.' It was just what my gut told me was the right decision. I just didn't want to leave George Mason. I loved the place when I first got here, and I love it more now. I couldn't pull the trigger on leaving."
Jon, who lives nearby, told his father he was glad he was staying. When Jim called Jay in Italy, he said the same thing. When he called Merten, both men became emotional. Larranaga knew he had made the right decision.
The only problem was he couldn't get another flight to San Antonio. He hadn't missed a Final Four since 1986, when he had just been hired at Bowling Green and was buried with work trying to get organized.
"Not getting another flight might have been a break," he said Thursday. "I think we're all drained by the last few days."
On Thursday afternoon, Larranaga got an e-mail from Lou Bufaro. He was out of the hospital. His wife had told him about Larranaga's visit.
"I can't tell you," Bufaro wrote, "how good it makes me feel to know that you're still going to be at George Mason doing what you do."
If Larranaga had any lingering doubts, they were erased when he read that e-mail. He knew he was where he wanted to be and where he belonged.
It wasn't easy for Larranaga to turn down his dream job, except for one thing: After all the talking and all the listening and all the wondering, he realized he already had it.

Hi everyone. I just joined the site so i could ask this question.
Ok, im having a baking practical on monday (im in the 9th grade and its the first time we'll be doing cake baking) i found a recipe that is a 3 layer cake and it uses 3 9inch pans. The thing is, when i tested the recipe (at home with mom helping, and recipe sized down, using a 9 inch pan) the cake didn't rise much. i tried it a second time with more baking powder and rised slightly more but it was still flat.
I'll be using the recipe to make a 2 layer cake without sizing it. should i use 2 9inch pans or 2 8inch pans?
an 8 inch pan holds 4 cups of batter while a 9 inch pan holds 6 cups.
also how many cups of batter will the recipe make (estimation) ?
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups granulated sugar
5 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Could your baking powder be old? You can check if it's active by seeing if it fizzes when you mix it with some water.
maybe re-try the recipe with with a new packet of baking powder? And if you want deeper layers, use the 8" tins, they might just take a few minutes more to bake than the 9" cakes.
Good luck, and have another practice!
The recipe holds about 8 cups. For two 8" layers you need 6 cups in total and for 2 9" layers 10 2/3 cups. I would downsize the recipe. By 25% and make 2 8" layers. I have a recipe too which doesn't rise much, but it's delicious. For that I use slightly more to get to 4" night. So, maybe make three 8" layers?
And I would use 1 tablespoon baking powder.
Do you have reason to believe this recipe is a good one? Unless you or someone else you know has made it successfully, or it's very well reviewed, I'd change recipes. There are tons on this site alone.
I'd buy fresh baking powder, too.
Good luck!

Posts Tagged 'digg'
Does Digg Need a Pictures Section?
That is the first of a series of questions as we examine whether or not Digg needs a Pictures section.
The answer seems obvious. Thousands of Digg users have expressed their support for a Pictures section. Has the 'wisdom of the crowd' come up with the best solution?
People have been focusing on that answer, when they should have been analyzing the question. Does Digg — a 'news' site — need a Pictures section? It does not seem like a proper fit. If Digg in fact does not need a Pictures section, then what is the alternative?
The solution can be approached by expanding on the question: Is it Digg — a 'news' site — that needs a Pictures section, or Flickr that needs a Digg section? Flickr is, after all, a photo-sharing site. What better location for these popular photos than a photo-sharing site?
Of course, now we approach a key roadblock for this solution: Flickr Explore. Flickr Explore is like the Digg Front Page, but for popular photos, rather than news. Is Flickr Explore insufficient at presenting the best new photos? That cannot be the case. Flickr's "Interestingness" algorithm actually does a great job of ranking photos by quality. You could say that it is just as good — if not better than — Digg's vote-driven quality ranking.
If Flickr Explore is just as good at delivering quality content as Digg's Front Page, then why are people demanding a Pictures section for Digg? Why not just use Flickr Explore?
By examining the differences between Digg and Flickr from another perspective, we will find that Flickr Explore is insufficient. It is not the quality of content, no. The quality is arguably as good or perhaps even better than Digg's vote-driven ranking system. The critical flaw in Flickr's "Interestingness" algorithm is that it does not deliver content that matches the taste of the user. Flickr Explore is glaringly insufficient because it is one giant list of all types of photos.
How successful would Digg be if it was only one category? Could we compare its success in that scenario with Flickr Explore's success in the photo realm?
If Flickr Explore delivered popular photos of various types to the people who say they are interested in that genre, would Flickr Explore have the appeal of Digg?
I hope you enjoyed this one-man Platonic dialogue.
Writing Tools for Digg Users: The Inevitable Digg Effect
Digg.com is an ideal target for creating instant gratification content. You can come out of nowhere and have tens of thousands of new users in 24 hours. An inevitable woe is the Digg Effect — a sign of success and often the key to server failure.
How do you make 10,000 comparisons of Digg users to the rest of the community?
How do you display 600,000 links to relevant Digg stories in thousands of users' browsers?
How do you tell 40,000 users where they are located on a map of 67,000 users?
How do you display 15,000,000 Diggs on that map?
How do you do it all on one shared hosted server?
Birth of a Digg Tinkerer
In December, I ran an experiment that required collecting a lot of data on thousands of users. Other parts of the experiment included measuring traffic and Google Adsense revenue during the Digg Effect. I created a little gadget, called "DiggStatus", where Digg users could type in their user names to see how their Digg usage statistics stack up against the rest of the community. The experiment was much more successful than I had anticipated.
Weekend Projects
Every once in a while, it's nice to get away from clients, meetings, deadlines, revisions, and product launches. Build something you want to build. Make your own deadlines. Change your mind — no deadlines. Finish it when and if you feel like it.
During the last few months, I have created a small collection of projects geared toward Digg users. Each is intended to be in itself a one-hit wonder. Get to the front page, get viewed by thousands, then recede into oblivion.
The Inevitable
Creating content for Digg is all or nothing. Either it hits the front page and you get blasted with thousands of visitors in a short period of time, or it passes through Digg's upcoming stories section without a hint of interest.
Creating tools and gadgetry for the Digg front page puts a developer with limited resources in a sticky situation. You have to last through the Digg Effect, or nobody will see it.
Looking into a Broken Mirror
Digg users are accustomed to using mirror sites to view content after the target web server crumbles under the load. Unfortunately, mirrors are only useful for static content. Mirrors can't learn your application's recommendation algorithm. Mirrors don't know the coordinates of users on the map you just made.
As a tool creator, it is imperative to withstand the Digg Effect.
Every K Counts
Look at the amount of data your web server will have to send for every visitor.
If your web site has a layout that utilizes images, jump ship. Set up your to-be-Dugg page outside of your layout. Add color with HTML. Structure your page with very light-weight HTML. A logo at the top of the page can be all it takes to push your web server over the edge. With links back to your site, only interested traffic will be directed to your normal site.
If you require images, find somewhere else to put it, so the bandwidth can be diffused between multiple locations.
Keep Quiet
With thousands of Digg users slamming your server in a very short period of time, even the simplest database call can be destructive to your server. If you use a framework for your site, make sure you have caching set up so you don't ping the database for the same data thousands of times just to display the page.
In the tool itself, you need to optimize, optimize, optimize! Database queries add up faster than you may think.
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
This week, I released two tools that utilize a map I generated last weekend of the Digg community.
The first tool allows visitors to search for a user name to find where that user is located on the map. This one required 3 database queries per request — one to find the location of the user, one to count the user's friends, and one to count the user's fans. While it was on Digg's front page, about 40,000 users were requested. The database was therefore queried about 100,000 times. All of this and I didn't receive any mention of downtime from users. If I had used one more database call, and taken the total up to 130,000 queries, the server might not have been able to handle the load.
The second tool I released this week displays Diggs (votes) on the map in real-time (with a small delay) and placed at the Digging users' location on the map. In 24 hours, the tool has displayed 15,000,000 of those votes. Unfortunately, there were a few hours that users had intermittent access to my site. Contributing to the overload, the first tool was still getting quite a few hits from Digg, it was featured on the BBspot.com home page as a Daily Link, and there were quite a few StumbleUpon users.
However, despite a little bit of downtime, this one did quite well, thanks to some heavy optimization. It may appear like there are tons of queries going on, with all those icons popping up on thousands of screens around the world. The search functionality in the other tool required 3 queries per request. This tool only required one query per 100 Diggs (though, the tool may at times display over 1,000 Diggs per minute). The results were returned to the client in a compact comma-delimited list, where the Flash front-end would then break the results apart.
Moral of the Story
If you create content for Digg, take a close look at the your page and/or tool's weight on the server. You need to save every byte you can. You should only contact the database when absolutely necessary.
The Digg Effect should be a sign of victory not a sign of defeat.
Data Visualization: Mapping the Digg Community
Part of the purpose of any social web site is to build a network of friends. Using the recently released Digg API, I created a map of Digg users and how they're connected to each other.
The Map [Link]
On the map, users are organized by the length of time they have had accounts on Digg. The oldest accounts are at the center and accounts created in the last few months are around the edges. The map only includes users who utilize Digg's friendship feature.
I'm known for making an argument that data visualization can be very useful. Charts and graphs, while they may be aesthetically pleasing, can point out trends and habits on a broad scale that would probably be missed using typical statistical analysis.
However, I'll be the first to say that the Digg friendship map I created has very little value as a practical analysis tool. It's an idea I've had in my head for a few months, and finally got around to building it. I thought it would be fun. I thought it would be neat.
Making it fun and neat
The map itself, as a JPG image, may already appeal to people with an interest in data visualization. However, if I'm going to make something fun and neat, I'm going to try to appeal to more people than just data visualization enthusiasts.
When I rendered the image, I stored the coordinates for every user in a database. This allows me to go back afterwards and query the database for a specific user and retrieve that data point. I created a simple Flash interface where people can type in their (or others') digg user names to find out where they are on the map.
Data Visualization: Digging Into DiggTaggr's Usage Stats
The Challenge
In the last seven weeks, DiggTaggr has delivered about 115,000 sets of links to relevant stories to several thousand unique users. This is a pretty good size dataset to tinker with, so I decided to hack through it and see if I could present the data in an interesting way.
I have to admit, I was partially inspired to do this by Stamen Design's data visualizations of Digg's traffic. If you haven't seen their scatter-plots, you should check them out.
Graph #1: User ID vs. Story ID
This was my first attempt at displaying the dataset in an interesting manner. Two stories related to DiggTaggr hit the front page and are labeled on the graph. DiggTaggr debuted on Friday, February 2nd, and received a complete redesign on the 4th.
You can see the curve of new users accelerating through most of the graph. This illustrates that there are fewer and fewer new users. There are also grid-like patterns emerging. Horizontal lines represent highly active users, while the dark horizontal gaps represent users who tried the tool and stopped using it. Vertical lines represent high activity during peak hours, while dark vertical gaps represent low activity on weekends.
Graph #2: Time vs. User ID
The Story ID axis in the previous graph gave a fairly accurate chronological referrence, but if it's time you want, it's time you should use.
This graph illustrates peak hours and peak days of the week in a more explicit way. I labeled the distinct patterns of weekdays and weekends. You can see that the pattern is more clearly defined in a certain area of the graph. These users involuntarily grouped themselves together by seeing the tool first thing Monday morning (the white horizontal line at the top of that section of users), while daily users had already seen the tool for 2 days.
The graph is color-coded to see how quickly users went through 40 Digg stories using DiggTaggr. Some users quickly went to red, while others used the tool less frequently.
Graph #3: Stories Viewed vs Time
Okay, okay. I was having a little bit of fun with this one. This one took over an hour to render on my laptop, partially because each dot had its own database query to determine how many previous instances there were for that user.
Each squiggly line represents a user. When the line is vertical, the user is viewing stories quickly one after another. You can see that only a handful of users have made it to the 1,000 story mark. I should give them a prize!
The density at the bottom left illustrates the high volume of new users. Some Digg at a rapid pace and shoot up, while others are more moderate and gradually climb. The density at the bottom tells us that a high percentage of DiggTaggr users either rarely visit Digg or uninstalled the tool.
Data visualization is still fascinating and fun.
DiggTaggr has sent almost half a million links to relevant stories to its users.
Yesterday, I chose to parse datasets instead of going outside. geek++
I still enjoy hearing from users. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated.

Lining up text box fields to be side by side...Asked by robertatlasmarketing on April 08, 2015 at 05:47 PM
Hi, Support.
I need to create separate First and Last name fields, I did this but I've having trouble matching those up side by side to look good. There must be an easy way I missed? How can this be done?
I'd love to hear back ASAP as it's a live form. Thanks!
