So we all have our favorable moments from the Twilight Saga. I can't just pick one. My favorite moments are, in order, when Bella was underwater (with her Edward hallucination) in the New Moon film and Grizzly's "Slow Life" was playing. Then, also in the New Moon movie, when Jacob was telling Bella something along the lines of "I'll never hurt you." Then, from the same movie, when Edward left. It was...I don't even know, yet I liked it. But, uh, it really made Ed look like a jerk (an even bigger one, I mean) to ditch her in the middle of the forest where she obviously did not know her way out of it. He could have dropped her off in her driveway or something...but that's a different story meant for a different time.
Moving on!
I'm a sucker for the tender moments, as well as the funny moments.
So what's your favorite moment in the Twilight Saga? It can be from the books or the movies. Have fun, tell me in the comments, drink a juice pouch, get creative, etc.

Rs. 200+ shipping charges
ls it as easy to fall in love as it seems to be from the outside? Why is it that most of us are left shattered and overwhelmed in its wake? Maybe the reasons are many, but something is certain. Love is not a milestone to be crossed or a goal to be achieved. It is a voyage which has to be undertaken, to know ourselves more, rather than what or whom we love. One of the most written about topics in literature is the human emotion, love. The multifaceted experiences of love have always stirred poets. ln spite of so much poetry written on love, we still find that people express their views on the subject because love is eternal and is a very personal feeling.
Ripples of Your Thoughts portrays the author's personal feelings on love in a simple style that helps her to build an instant rapport with the reader who can easily slip into her journey and enter the realm of love with its myriad magic.
Gayatri Brahme has done her graduation in philosophy and her post-graduation in law from Mumbai University. She is a legal professional as well as a homemaker. She manages to find time for herself while balancing her work life and personal life.
She has always been fascinated by love and that inspired her to write a book of poetry on the same subject. This is her first attempt to divulge her feelings about love in a sequential flow, and in a simple and de-cluttered manner. She has also brought forth her views on human emotions and on how these emotions can be effectively dealt with to live a better and self-contained life. The content of this volume is delectably slim and makes the reader wish more from her.

HeXen review
Sat Aug 22, 2015 9:09 pm
Sun Mar 13, 2011 4:45 am
HeXen: Beyond Heretic is the sequel to Heretic. It was developed by Raven Software and published by id Software in 1995. As was the case for Heretic, I shall share with you my personal experience of the game. I was reading about Heretic on Wikipedia for some reason and found out about HeXen. This was back in 2008. Mum found the shareware demo version. I played through it many times and was disappointed that I couldn't finish the hub. And hence, my introduction to Steam. Oh, what a brilliant day, we bought HeXen, HeXen DK, HeXen II and Heretic Shadow of the Serpent Riders.
Hexen runs on a modified version of the Doom Engine, heavily modified to the point where it's just so brilliant, the quality of the engine itself is to die for. So what do we have? Jumping, yeap, sounds good. We didn't have that in Heretic. Action code scripting (ACS). Player classes, ah yes, brilliant. All of these have since been incorporated into ZDoom. The best one to talk about is the player classes. Each one brings something new into the mix - different weapons, speed, maximum armour and magical power. It is definitely worth picking between different player classes and experimenting, there are significant differences. The Fighter enjoys a close range advantage at the start but will start to wish for a ranged weapon as he progresses. The Mage needs to keep his distance at the start, with the only ranged starting weapon, but will have a marvellous times blasting through hordes of enemies with his marvellous spells. The Cleric is the middle ground, and arguably the best to play, but that is for another day.
The weapons are fun. The Fighter has fists, a magical axe, a hammer that throws hammers and a magical sword. The Cleric has a mace, a long ranged staff, a fire spell and a crucifix that shoots ghosts. The Mage has a magical wand, an ice spell, a lighting spell and a staff that fires homing missiles. Jolly good fun. The ammunition used is called mana. Blue mana fuels the second weapon, green the third and both for the final. The final weapon has its pieces scattered through the hubs. You need to collect all three of them in order to use the weapon. The lack of a tome of power is upsetting, but oh well, you can summon Maulotaurs now.
Maps - the make or break point of any game. They pioneer a new hub system, where you run between levels and back to one central level. You complete tasks, i.e. flicking switches and solve part of the "puzzle" it is fun, but you can get lost quite easily. It takes a lot of willpower to play it after completing it, but it is not impossible.
Enemies are important as well. You have ettins and centaurs from Greek mythology. You have weaker versions of D'Sparil's serpent. Dark Bishops and swamp creatures. There are also centaurs that shoot fireballs. The centaur is capable of reflecting your shots, so I advise caution. We have flying, flaming gargoyles. We have the Heresiarch, which has shields that can deflect anything and it summons dark bishops. It is one of the hardest enemies to kill. Then you fight a fighter, a cleric and a mage. Then you fight Korax, the second Serpent Rider. My only problem with him is that he is too easy. Battles with him are seldom as intense as brawls with D'Sparil.
Plot is also very good. You have three men from the land of Chronos. They lead the world. Korax manipulates them and grants them eternal life. They allow his army in. Three other men rise up and kick out his army. Fair enough.
Weapons: 10/10
Maps: 7/10
Enemies: 9/10
Plot: 10/10
Replayability: 7/10
Average: 8.6/10

Re: HeXen review
Sun Aug 23, 2015 7:52 am
I remember my father playing Hexen a lot when I was a kid, he played first time the demo version with 4 levels and he played as each class to see differences between each other, the weapons were really interesting but too bad the demo version only allowed 4 levels. But what was weird is that he had actually a beta demo version from a CD with demos which had on top on screen "beta" message. I always thought that the demo version of Hexen had "beta" written on top but I guess I was wrong. There were also no demos playing in background but actually in reality the actual demo version of Hexen has demos running in background.
Well, later my father installed and played the full version of Hexen from the same CD with full version games that had various other games such as Doom 2 1.666 (pirated) and Heretic. I watched him playing through the levels (on first playthrough he played as Fighter, then he tried Cleric and Mage, we will get into more detail later) and I was impressed by the level detail, the "new" monsters, 3rd and 4th weapons for each class, etc.
Unfortunately I remember something that scared me as kid and wanting me to delete the game from hard drive but all I did was delete the MS-DOS shortcut icon (
) was when he turned into pig first time by using porkalator against Heresiarch (the first one you fight at hub 3 but I remember later in hub 4 I told him to not use porkalator against him to not do same mistake) and had reflected shots back and saw that viewpoint got smaller and had a different "weapon" which was pig's snout, that really freaked me out!
Not long after, I found out that in hub 4 in Castle of Grief, in middle of castle, there is a trap that fires porkalator eggs and that is another thing that scared me as kid. I had no idea there are traps that also fire projectiles like these.
Later, he finished game as Fighter, then tried out Cleric. At least when playing as Cleric, he wasn't turned into pig at all. However as Mage, on hub 4, I remember telling him to save before going into the castle (that I said in my mind unfortunately) and hoping he doesn't get turned into pig. And well, he actually got turned into pig as Mage is really slow and can't outrun the projectiles and first happened to be a damn egg. I told him "you turned into pig!" and he said "that's it!". Then he just ran around castle wondering when he will turn back into human form but I told him after about 30 seconds. During that time I knew what happened but I asked him what exactly happened, how he turned into pig and he said that he pressed a button (he thought he used porkalator or something). Then when he turned back he killed ettins with the wand and saved game and shortly after when he entered Forsaken Outpost the power cut off and I laughed very much but I was hoping he didn't save, since I didn't want to save after pig morph crap.
Too bad the Castle of Grief memories of pig morph made me as kid (when I played game myself) to use cheats to skip this hub with "all puzzle items" since I was too scared to get turned into pig but I had no idea that the Icon of the Defender actually protects from morphing, if I knew that, I would use it. Eventually since then, I would have nightmares about playing Hexen and turning into pig. Even these days I still have occasionally dreams about Heretic/Hexen and being turned into chicken/pig because of damn projectile traps.
Recently I've been playing Hexen in DOSBox and the funny thing is that I am actually currently on hub 4 but this time I walked through castle normally and didn't get hit by any projectile.
I'm playing as Fighter.
To end the post here, I would like to say that I enjoyed reading your review but want to point out that you calculated average wrong. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 8.6, not 4.6.

Ottawa Seniors Housing
offers independent and assisted living options
Home Care Agencies
When loved ones become aged or is affected by disability and no family member is there nearby to care full time for them, this is the point where the ottawa retirement living agencies come into play. The seniors require most attention which they are unable to get from their family since the families have to attend to their day to day activities. A good agency that is reputable as well as licensed is best to hire well trained staffs offering best quality senior care service for our near and dear ones. A well trained health assistance staff from a recognized agency gives the benefit of doubt to the family whether or not their loved ones will be at the responsibility of specialized staff with all the care required.
A good home Care Ottawa agency will always be protective to its image and this is one of the reasons that they ensure hiring well trained professionals having good history without any criminal record. This is crucial to a family because at the time of hiring a health staff, a comprehensive research should be conducted on the history of the health staff to ensure that the individual is taking care of their family members.
This reduces the chances of fraud and even ensures you have trusted individuals in your house. If the family members are dissatisfied by the staff duties, automatically the agency will do the replacement and incase of unwell staff it is easy to get a suitable healthy staff to replace the unwell staff.
A good senior homes ottawa service provider must have good and flexible payment rates to fit the family's needs and budget. Either in terms of installments or either by paying a deposit, flexible rates exist to diminish family's financial constraint. The family has to be with the agency and see the appropriate method of payment. The family must do a careful research on the agency suitable to their budget.
Ottawa seniors housing services are very costly and this might strain the day to day activities of the family in running. It is very much essential to have and go by your budget to avoid financial constraint. However good the services are, you must stick to your budget to avail them accordingly. The agency offering support for their daily chores will be of greater benefit to the family due to the reduced duties to their advantage.

Watch out, the iPhone 5 may have a 5th row of apps!

We've been wondering what kind of tricks the new iPhone would have up its sleeve, and we may have just come across some definitive proof that the device will be called the iPhone 5, which could be in reference to having 5 rows of apps per home screen...

Big freaking deal Android had that long before this. Not exciting at all if you ask me even though so far is mesh.

maybee they are trying to make up for their apple bias by posting a wave of outragiously biased android articles
44. Savage (unregistered)
Oh great! Now you will have 24 icons per screen. Big deal. Wish Apple brought something that's actually revolutionary. Even live wallpapers will do. But seeing most of their dough is spent on lawsuits, I'm not sure what will make people buy the next iPhone.
48. Roomaku (Posts: 278; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
So the new iPhone is going to have a bigger screen and ummm, that's it. I want to keep liking Apple but every time i look at im it's just more of the same :(

once again ALL Android people posting on apple posts. You all have nothing better to do than bash apple articles. I LOVE it. You all have this secret love and clear obsession for apple but are too scared to admit it. I dont see apple people bashing on Android articles. I get it.. Maybe you are all non apple stock owners and are bitter that its the greatest stock in the world. Yep, must be it. Or maybe I'm gloating that I own it at $99 a share.

110. JunkCreek (Posts: 407; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
5 rows? even low end device Galaxy Y with Go Launcher EX installed can have. Live tile like on Wndows Phone 7.X just install 7Launcher and u have better tile that can change the color and have transparent color on it, just not yet implemented on live tile such as contact live tile, but for folder and icon tiles, it is way amazing. U can look my screen shots of my Galaxy Y here:
sorry, didn't take any screenshot for 5x4 and 5x5 icon grid because of it's 3" small screen so the icon title is overlaping each other so i have to turn hide icon labels which is so inconvenience.

The cooling system was filled at the factory with a high quality coolant solution that is good for year around operation and protects the system from freezing down to -20ºF (-29ºC) (-32ºF/36ºC in Canada).
The hot coolant level should be at the FULL HOT mark on the expansion tank and the cold coolant level should be at the FULL COLD mark on the tank. Do not remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level.
Coolant mixture in 1994-95 pick-ups is 50/50 ethylene glycol and water for year round use. Use a good quality anti-freeze with water pump lubricants, rust inhibitors and other corrosion inhibitors along with acid neutralizers.
The 1996-99 models use a 50/50 mixture of water and DEX-COOL-coolant. This silicate free coolant is orange in color and does not require maintenance for 5 years or 100,000 miles (166,000 km). If additional coolant needs to be added to the system, use only DEX-COOL-or a silicate free orange coolant meeting GM spec 6277M. If another coolant type is added, the advantage of the prolonged maintenance period is lost.
See Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4
- Check the level on the see-through expansion tank.
- Check the level and, if necessary, add the proper type of coolant (see fluid recommendations) through the expansion tank to the proper level. Anti-freeze solutions should be used, even in summer, to prevent rust and to take advantage of the solution's higher boiling point compared to plain water. This is imperative on air conditioned vehicles; the heater core can freeze if it isn't protected. Coolant should be added through the coolant recovery tank, not the radiator filler neck.
Each year the cooling system should be serviced as follows:
See Figures 5 through 11
The cooling system in your vehicle accumulates some internal rust and corrosion in its normal operation. A simple method of keeping the system clean is known as flushing the system. It is performed by circulating a can of radiator flush through the system, and then draining and refilling the system with the normal coolant. Radiator flush is marketed by several different manufacturers, and is available in cans at auto departments, parts stores, and many hardware stores. On 1994-95 models, this operation should be performed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or once a year (whichever comes first). On 1996-99 models, this service should be performed every 100,000 miles (166,000 km) or once every 5 years. Keep in mind this holds true only if DEX-COOL-or a silicate free orange coolant meeting GM spec 6277M has been used. If another type of coolant has been used in this system, then this operation should be performed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or once a year (whichever comes first).
- Drain the existing anti-freeze and coolant. Open the radiator and engine drain petcocks (located near the bottom of the radiator and engine block, respectively), or disconnect the bottom radiator hose at the radiator outlet.
- Close the petcock or reconnect the lower hose and fill the system with water-hot water if the system has just been run.
- Add a can of quality radiator flush to the radiator or recovery tank, following any special instructions on the can.
- Idle the engine as long as specified on the can of flush, or until the upper radiator hose gets hot.
- Drain the system again. There should be quite a bit of scale and rust in the drained water.
- Repeat this process until the drained water is mostly clear.
- Close all petcocks and connect all hoses.
- Flush the coolant recovery reservoir with water and leave empty.
- Determine the capacity of your truck's cooling system (see the Capacities chart in this guide). Fill the cooling system with the proper type of coolant (refer to fluid recommendations).
- Run the engine to operating temperature, then stop the engine and check for leaks. Check the coolant level and top up if necessary.
- Check the protection level of your anti-freeze mix with an anti-freeze tester (a small, inexpensive syringe type device available at any auto parts store). The tester has five or six small colored balls inside, each of which signify a certain temperature rating. Insert the tester in the recovery tank and suck just enough coolant into the syringe to float as many individual balls as you can (without sucking in too much coolant and floating all the balls at once). A table supplied with the tester will explain how many floating balls equal protection down to a certain temperature (three floating balls might mean the coolant will protect your engine down to +5ºF (-15ºC), for example.

I've been gardening since 2005 and this is my first trip to the Garden Show ... I guess I decided to wait until I had a baby to go. Maybe I thought it would be more fun wielding a stroller through garden designs and crazy vendor stalls?
For the record, it's not.
Good thing I went with help -- my mom & my husband -- and after the show we had a nice brunch at Prairie Fire. It's always good to end everything with brunch.
This shrub is from an installation that highlighted so many interesting conifers. There were so many it was hard to take it all in and no picture I took did it justice. I am in dire need of evergreen in my garden and I'm looking forward to visiting this nursery in the spring, when I'm out trolling for some shade-tolerant conifers.

Russia economy is doing better than expected. There was no considerable reduction of industry size or expenditure level. Industrial production performed better than expected.
Russia recently jumped from 55th to 26th place in The World Economic Forum's "2015 Human Capital Report" an index that ranks nations by their human capital endowment, defined as the skills and capacities that reside in people and that are put to productive use.
That puts Russia ahead of start-up nation Israel, and far ahead of Italy, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Russia also surpasses Brazil in this regard.
Russia last month became #1 retail market in Europe! A 41.5% rise in the Market Vectors Russia (RSX) exchange traded fund, the best emerging market performer this year. And a 17% gain in the ruble year-to-date. It is now trading in the high 40s against the dollar.
According to JPMorgan's view, the Russian government's financial situation is "quite healthy" thanks to low government debt.
Russia's current budget surplus is expected to rise to $70 billion (5.5% of the GDP) by the end of the year, up from $59 billion (3.2% GDP) last year.
The data has prompted policymakers in Russia to turn much more optimistic on growth prospects for 2015, and some revision of forecasts is probably warranted.
Small and medium size investors are becoming very active in Russia.
In 2014, the growth rate of the market, according to analysts RBC.research, rose to 13.2%, while market volume amounted to 552-555 billion rubles. Market turnover totaled USD 14.6 billion (the rate – 38 rub./Dollar).
The main growth came from the key segments of the market – skin care, hair care, colour cosmetics and fragrances. The best performing categories in 2014, according to Euromonitor data, were oral care and deodorants. The culture of oral hygiene dramatically increased in Russia and has strong potential for the future as consumers are increasingly concerned about their health, especially their oral health. In addition, professional and medicated oral care products are expected to post the most positive performances. Unlike other categories, the performance of deodorants was unique due to consumers' loyalty to formats rather than brands. Due to the growing number of promotional activities and price offers, consumers were buying those deodorants that were on special offer at the time of purchasing.
According to Euromonitor, in 2014, premium products posted the most positive performances. The key reason for this trend was growing consumer interest in premium beauty and personal care products, as well as strong promotions for such brands. Premium products are considered to be of a high standard and consumers were ready to pay extra in order to receive good-quality products. In addition, specialist retailers positively influenced sales of premium brands by offering products with huge discounts. As a result, expensive products became affordable luxuries.
European brands are not pulling out of Russian market, instead many are increasing investments.
Russia is in top-5 markets for Oriflame and among 3.5 mln consultants 1.6 mln (almost the half) work in Russia. In February 2015 Oriflame Cosmetics inaugurated its new production facility. After an investment of 150 mln euro, Oriflame's new production site in Noginsk, Russia, was officially declared opened. The site comprises production facilities, warehousing and a distribution center. The plan is to produce shampoos, deodorants, liquid soaps, lipsticks and other cosmetic products to serve the market in a more efficient way.
Avon Products' Russian sales received a significant boost in the second half of 2014, on the back of the depreciating ruble and the economic weakness in Russia. According to Avon country chief Elena Starkova, the sales grew by both volume and value. Due to the weakening Russian economy, many people are seeking additional jobs by selling door-to-door products, and Avon's business model of direct selling has helped them and has in turn increased Avon's labor pool in Russia by over 10% (as per December 2014 data).
During the first 3 months Avon's revenue in Russia grew by 26%.
Euromonitor claims that L'Oréal Russia continued to lead beauty and personal care in Russia in 2014. The company continued to increase both its value sales and value share, mainly due to world-famous and durable brands in almost all categories of beauty and personal care. In addition, the company was present in different price bands and invested heavily in new product developments and advertising, being a promoter not only of its products but also of the whole category. In colour cosmetics segment it increased its value share by one percentage, from 21% in 2013 to 22% in 2014. The company constantly increases both its value sales and its value share. In skin care L'Oreal still keeps in leading position that led sales increase in 2014 with 14% value share.
Major producer & household detergents have increased their revenue in Russia by 20-26% in the first quarter of 2015. Henkel demonstrated double-digit growth increased their share in Russia, Beiersdorf has grown sales by more than 20%. According to Beiersdorf management, Russian can postpone buying a car but they will still buy an anti-ageing cream or a deodorant.
Retail development in 2014 continued and last month Russia became # 1 retail market in Europe. According RBK.Research, the number of perfume and cosmetics stores increased by 26.6 % (in 2013 the increase was 25.3 %). The number of specialized perfumery and cosmetics stores increased by 38,3%, concept-store - by 31.8%, multi-brand stores - by 25.3%.
Actual trend – new wave of the regional expansion of all retailers. The key federal and local chains are willing to open more stores in small Russian cities.
Another trend is a solid growgth of purchase of cosmetics in terms of value and volume. Russian consumers refuse to cut thier their budget on cosmetics nd perfumery.
Growing demand for cosmetics manufactured from natural ingredients continues to spur the development of health and beauty specialist retailers in Russia as the outlets in the channel are well known for offering exactly these types of products. Due to the very strong growth potential for health and beauty specialist retailers in Russia, the channel increasingly attracts foreign retail companies, some of which have begun producing private label products in Russia in recent years. As a result, a wider range of beauty and personal care products have recently become more widely available in Russia, which has had the effect of leading Russian people to begin monitoring more precisely the quality of their beauty and personal care products rather than simply relying on the popularity of specific brands.
Inspite of the modest income for the last year and retail prices increase Russian customer still buy cosmetics and perfumery on a regular basis which is higher then in Europe or USA.
Average spending on purchase of cosmetics and perfumery in 2014 grew 13% as opposed to 2013, every second Russian woman uses masks and washing products (in the early 1990s - one in four), 40% use eye creams, and the number of women willing to buy premium cosmetics increased 5 times. Rapid increase of the number of women attending beauty salons, from 4% in 2000 to 40 % in 2014. All research made on consumer behavior recently shows that Russian women are not ready to save money on beauty.
And yes! – the Russians are still novelty addicted!
The proportion of imported and domestic products in the Russian market is still in favor of international producers. Import accounts for more than a half of Russian perfumery and cosmetics and in a number of categories – more than 80 percent and 100% in the luxury segment of cosmetics and perfumery. At present, the Russian perfumery and cosmetics market is incredibly open to imported goods in all segments and all companies – from all over the world. It is safe and highly profitable. And the entrance cost is not high.
Among main importers of perfumery and cosmetics goods in Russia are France (24.5%), Germany (13%), Italy (8.6%), Poland (7.8%) and USA (6.7%). The Chinese share in the overall import volume reached 3.8% in 2014, basically including bath/oral/skin care.
France remains the leader in the perfumery segment with 58.6% of the products imported in Russia in value terms.
Since the July, 2012, companies exporting cosmetic products to the Customs Union comprising Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan must comply with a new regulation, harmonized the legislation in the European Union, but which still contains some important discrepancies. Premium Beauty News asked CCIS Expertise, a consulting firm specializing in the assistance to manufacturers entering Eastern European markets, to provide us with some clarification.
As far as labelling is concerned, the Technical Regulation requires several additional constraints when compared to the rules of the European Union. These include:
For the majority of products a declaration of conformity is enough. Self-tanners, skin bleaching products, tattoo and hygiene products, children cosmetics, hair dyes and professional products for hair perms and hair straightening, hair removal products, peels, oral care and teeth whiteners still are subjects for the registration before placing on the market.
The registration procedure consists of three main steps:
1. Evaluation of the technical and administrative file provided by the manufacturer, which includes a Certificate of Free Sale, a GMP statement or the corresponding ISO certificate, the composition of products, labels or their draft in Russian signed and stamped by the manufacturer or an authorized representative of the manufacturer, samples, etc..
2. Toxicological testing and clinical trials in laboratories accredited according to the regulations of the Customs Union
3. The recording of the product's and manufacturer's data as well as test results in the single sanitary database of Customs Union.
The paper issued is valid for entire life of the product on the Russian market.

We had the vacation of our lives. The pics do not do it justice. From the scenery to the house itself, we were truly impressed. Had a blast celebrating and hope to come back again for a future occasion. Such a charming house and the hosts were so welcoming and helpful. Thank you!!
Wonderful place to stay! The house was very nice and comfortable. In a great location. Very quiet and beautiful property. Close to many popular wineries. We really enjoyed our stay!
The hosts were so kind and welcoming as well as hospitable. Perfect location in the middle of all wineries. You are surrounded by vines! It is so neuritis and the house was so homey and comfortable:) the sheets, towels, kitchen, and beds were so comfy
We stayed here for a girlfriends weekend in October. The house was super clean and had room for everyone to spread out. The home is older, but does have a lot of character. The location was great. It's literally less than a minute to 4 wineries and the distillery.
Kathy was a great host to deal with. She did not accept credit cards at the time we stayed, but no worries, she came to pick up the check within a couple hours of our arrival and showed us around. Even though she lives across the street, that was the only time we saw her. I am sure if we had any issues she would of been more than happy to help. We really had no issues at all with privacy.
We had WIFI with no problems and all of our cell phones got great reception.The code was on top of the fridge in a basket for WIFI. We did have to hunt around a bit to find it! There is one full bath on the main level as well the kitchen which was updated, living room, dining room and two enclosed porches. Off the side porch, there is a deck with a picnic table and a gas grill. The outside deck was lit up at night by sparkle lights which was a nice touch. The back porch off the dining area has a wood burner stove and a pizza oven as well.
The upstairs contains all four bedrooms, three were a great size with queen beds. The other bedroom was smaller with a twin. The bathroom upstairs was large enough to hold all our girl things on the vanity.
We didn't have time to check out the property in the back with the pond so I can't comment on that. There was a barn and a large garage behind the house. The grape vines were to the left of the house, but there was plenty of open areas in the back if your bring a pet.
My friends and I get together once a year from all over to have a girls weekend and I would definitely consider staying here again!! We felt right at home as soon as we walked in.

Karlsson Woodpecker Clock - White
Stylish and unexpected, this Karlsson Woodpecker Clock in White is absolutely beautiful. It's one of those pieces that you just can't help but look at the moment you see it. The clock comes with an intricately designed clock face which seems to look like a tree trunk.
From that tree trunk you have several carved numbers which end up looking like branches. And right there at the center are two thin clock hands along with a beautiful red woodpecker perched on the side. And the best part is that the woodpecker gently rocks back and forth each second.
It's a lovely display that's both very stylish and functional.
Materials Used: plastic
Diameter: 42 cm

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Business Operations' started by JonLawn, Dec 15, 2013.
AW, I think you missed the point of all the responses.
AW how does one with a few accounts make 60 an hour with no work? Delivering. Flyers pays nothing when doing it but allows marketing at an affordable cost. Once an owner has built up a customer base and work load that provides enough work and income your thoughts become more valid.
He is talking about doing this at a time when none of us up North are doing anything Landscape related except maybe bids or estimates for the upcoming season. I just came in from salting a HOA and I have nothing planned for the rest of the day. Most winter days are like this. So I can't see where he would be loosing money when there is no other work to be done.
I would totally agree with you if we were talking about going door to door during the growing season. Most of us hardley have time for estimates then
Yes the phone calls are definitely a daily burden
Posted via Mobile Device
AW is making a theological point that makes sense from a management point of view...but is irrelevant if you don't have the business to be charging $60 with the hours. If you don't have the business to be billing time that you are using to hand out door hangers, the opportunity cost is not $60/hour. The opportunity cost becomes the cartoons you are missing by sitting at home (which is offset easily by the cost of postage).
The point AW is making is a real one but the argument is a moot point given the responses to his post that state that people aren't working since there is snow on the ground. AW I understand what you are saying, you're making a lot of text book managerial points but ignoring the context. Can we get this otherwise helpful discussion back on point?

Can we get this otherwise helpful discussion back on point?Posted via Mobile Device[/QUOTE]
How much in advance before the mowing season starts do you normally pass out or mail your flyers?
The points are correct in theory but not in context. You clearly have management training, but you are missing the point that the ground is covered in snow. Sometimes you have to lay the management text book down and pound the pavement...especially if you're otherwise hibernating.
I would love to make $125k a year for occasionally counting beans, yes...it's a real incentive to owning and building your own business. But how can you, as someone who is still at a point where they have no employees, not see that (for someone trying to drum up more business to fill their schedule) handing out postcards personally is less expensive than paying someone else to do it...?
Posted via Mobile Device
Haha good. Thank you. I felt this conversation was beginning to be recent college grads that lack pragmatism but are abound with "education" trying to fight over who can recite more from their textbooks! Rest assured that we all value our time but are still willing to work hard and do what it takes to succeed.
Is January too early to start marketing? Will some people have the foresight to hold on to your cards until spring? At the very least, you are creating brand presence within homes in your target neighborhood...even if they just glance and toss it in the trash. A follow up in the early spring is what I do. But don't discount the quality of what you put out. Some people are pragmatic and will not discount someone who uses printer paper as not being worthy of their lawn...they might envy their utilitarianism or just not judge at all...but others will definitely deselect you from the free market based on your perceived image...these are the same folks that want only shiny lawn mowers on their properties.

I am a solo part timer mowing operation. I have a small marketing budget, but I do use quality products though. This year I was going to do 2500 door hangers from Adeaes, but I think I am only going to do 1 round of hangers. Probably will hit the streets around Feb 15-March 1.
Having lived most of my life in NY and NJ I total understand that many lawn companies in the north might not have a business model which includes winter related services. This is a lost opportunity. As a solo operator the time you spend working for your business or doing nothing, whether it is handing out flyers at 10:00am on a bright sunny summer day or writing a proposal in your office at 2:00am or sitting on your couch during work hours typing on an internet forum or handing out flyers during the winter when there is snow on the ground represents a direct cost to your company and a lost opportunity to earn income for your business because while you have chosen to do this task you have also chosen not to use this portion of your time to earn income.
That is a choice we make and an investment that we make in our businesses to get more business but the cost of doing it is more than just time because had you had a paying job to go to instead you would have earned income but you lost that opportunity.
And that is how you should always think of your time
If I had a job to do that will earn my company income, would I turn down this opportunity to earn income to go do another business related task that doesn't earn income? If I choose to do this task how much money will I have lost the opportunity to earn?

If you're a Lions fan — and, believe me, there are still thousands out there (somehow) — you should be ecstatic right now. You should be more excited now than you were at this time in 2001, 2002, '03, '04, '05, '06, and '07.
And you should ask for a Cheese Head for Christmas or Hanukkah.
Why? Well, it's obvious. The Detroit Lions have finally stunk so bad, have finally proved so incapable — from ownership, to the front office, to the coaches, to the players, to the vendors — that they're on the brink of history.
A loss in frigid Green Bay Sunday, where they haven't won since '91, and the Lions will be the NFL's first 0-16 team.
And when it comes to the Lions, 0-16 seems like the only result that will get people in the organization to take a long look in the mirror and exclaim, "Nothing is working!"
Since Detroit last had a winning season, going 9-7 in 2000, it has been consistently bad. There was the 2-14 campaign in 2001 and the one-win improvement to 3-13 the following year. Then came 5-11 seasons, with a 6-10 march to nothing sandwiched in-between. Under current coach Rod Marinelli, Detroit started bad (3-13), gained a quartet of wins to 7-9, and now, well, you know...
But not until now, and perfectly coinciding with all the other depressing news choking the Motor City, has a sense of despair overtook this morbid, one-playoff-win-since-1957 franchise.
I would always laugh after previous 5-11 seasons, when people predicted the Lions to make the playoffs; when a radio host actually picked them to advance to the NFC championship game; when, after drafting yet another "big-play" wide receiver, everyone gushed over how unstoppable Detroit's offense was going to be.
I'm not making this stuff up. I lived a 40-minute drive from Ford Field up until the 2007 season, and every August overly priced tickets were sold, prognosticators forecast division championships...and then, sometimes after a couple wins, everything went downhill.
I don't consider myself the smartest person, but I must admit I'm proud of never getting caught up in Lions Fever. Even last year, when Detroit got out to a 6-2 start and everyone from Monroe to Pontiac was asking about playoff tickets. Around 2003 I told myself that I'd never predict the Lions to make the playoffs—that is, until they actually made the playoffs (if that makes sense).
So the fans continued flocking to Ford Field, filling the already-heavy pockets of owner William Clay Ford, and the Lions continued to lose. And, sure, coaches were fired. But Matt Millen stayed on board as general manager, many ineffective players were retained, and there was never talk of an "overhaul."
(On a side note, how sad is it that after the Detroit Pistons made the Eastern Conference finals for the sixth straight season last May and lost to the Boston Celtics, fans called for Joe Dumars to blow up the team. Yet after the Lions put together a seventh consecutive losing season, there was no such talk?)
Now, at long last, the memo has been sent: The Lions suck, they're terrible, they're awful. The offense. The defense. Special teams. The coaching staff. All of it.
"The Detroit Lions are the worst franchise in major American professional sports."
If I had said that even a year ago, I'm sure there would have been plenty of dissenters. But now? Outside of some baseball fans in Pittsburgh, I think a good portion of American sports fans would agree.
"Over the past eight years, no franchise has been worse than the Detroit Lions."
But it's taken an 0-15 season — hopefully soon to be the first 0-16 campaign — to dampen the spirit of the team's faithful and sometimes, sadly, extremely docile supporters. Finally, Ford Field has experienced empty seats; five of the last six games failed to sell out, with Tennessee's butt-whoopin' of the Lions on Thanksgiving the lone exception.
Only 49,309 people attended Sunday's home finale against the Saints, a tidy 42-7 New Orleans victory. It was the second-smallest crowd since the stadium opened in 2002.
The Lions intentionally made the capacity of the stadium (65,000) about 15,000 less than that of the team's former home, the Pontiac Silverdome (80,311), in an attempt to avoid TV cameras panning oceans of empty seats during games. The move worked for six and a half seasons.
But a team that can't win — at all — changes things. Even in Detroit.
Now, of course, the positive thing (I guess) is that as long as things go according to plan at Lambeau Field Sunday, this franchise will have nowhere to go but up (I think). And it is my hope that wholesale changes will be made in an effort to do just that.
With Ford in charge, however, who knows what will be done. There's a good chance the Lions will never make the playoffs under his ownership. That's simply one of those sad facts of life.
But here's what will happen over the next eight months as a result of this historic season:
1. There will be no positive predictions for the 2009 team.
2. No returning players — if there are any — will allow themselves to get fat thinking about improvements that were made during the season and late-season victories that created meaningless momentum.
3. Whoever is coaching the team will ride his staff and players harder than a jockey rides his horse coming down the stretch run of the Derby.
4. And Lions fans will finally expect the worse, regardless of whom their team drafts, knowing that their team is terrible until it proves otherwise.
I, for one, can't wait until the 2009 season. Let's call it the "Season of Realistic Expectations for the Lions."
Then, maybe, we'll be pleasantly surprised when something good happens on the field.

Neil Young, the brooding rocker with a heart of gold, is to be recognized for his charity work. The iconic Canadian has been chosen as the 2010 MusiCares Person of the Year, a title given by the MusiCares Foundation and the Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammys. The award, a recognition of artistic accomplishments as well as philanthropic endeavours, comes with a gala dinner and a concert just prior to next year's Grammys.
The 63-year-old Toronto native, who despite a dazzling career as an introspective singer-songwriter has never won a Grammy, becomes the first Canadian to receive the MusiCares honour. "Neil has set a standard of artistic integrity and iconoclastic creativity for more than four decades, and his achievements have been matched by his unwavering humanitarianism," Recording Academy president Neil Portnow said in a release.
One need only look at Young's upcoming schedule to appreciate his altruistic commitments. On Sept. 12, he appears at Sarah McLachlan's inaugural Summer Sessions at Ambleside benefit in West Vancouver. On Oct. 4, he takes part again in Farm Aid, which he co-founded in 1985. And on the weekend of Oct. 24, Young hosts an annual acoustic event called The Bridge School Benefit Concert, which raises money for a California school serving the needs of children with severe physical and speech impairments. Young has two sons born with cerebral palsy.Report Typo/Error

We describe the polarization topology of the vector beams emerging from a patterned birefringent liquid crystal plate with a topological charge at its center (-plate). The polarization topological structures for different -plates and different input polarization states have been studied experimentally by measuring the Stokes parameters point-by-point in the beam transverse plane. Furthermore, we used a tuned -plate to generate cylindrical vector beams with radial or azimuthal polarizations, with the possibility of switching dynamically between these two cases by simply changing the linear polarization of the input beam.

I love all this publicity Alien Hominid is getting. Now you have to make a sequal or something soon and totally smash the first and shock people even more.
Congratulations~ Now stick it onto the XBox.

Sweeet. It also came half a point from winning a silver award from Electronig Gaming Monthly (EGM) which stacks it up there as a pretty damn good game. It actually had one of the highest scores in that issue, but it didn't win game of the month because it was stacked up against some other titles... like Halo 2, MGS3, and Paper Mario 2 :/
I have to admit, it's a kickass game. Very Metal Slug-esque, especially the closeup knife move. It has some nice innovations Metal Slug doesn't have though, and I commend you for that unique improvement (amongst many others). It's not as hard of a game as others make it out to sound, it's actually relatively easy if you stay on your toes and watch for the quick shots the FBI agents get off. That damn PDA game is addictive as heck, especially with multi-players >.< I spent a couple hours on end playing that one nonstop.
Awesome neatoness!!! :) Great job everyone!
Yet another reason to send congratulations your way, guys. That's so awesome! I got my copy in the mail a little while back... I'll make sure to get my friends addicted to it this winter break! =)
WOW awsome, cool dude. Congrats, Tom
Awesome that is kool. I wish I had some money to pick it up when I had the chance to get it. Good thing it is on my Christmas List.
Believe it or not, Alien Hominid sold out in the local store here in my place. Congratulations Tom and NG!
*grabs dick*
I hope youre gonna make a lot of money outta this :D
i like pie
Alien Hominid has just been nominated at Gamespot for funniest game of the year. Good luck Tom!
I GOT to get this game! It even got a better review than Neo Contra in EGM! Even the poll on the X-Play page has it beating out Conker! Well done to all involoved!
lmfao i cant stop luaghing because big game develepers work on games for years and get like a 2 out of 5 but aliean hominid gets a 4 out of 5 when it took like 1 year or so to make
All bow to IGN's greatness *bows*
"Aww man I shot marvin in the face..."
Another award! someone's becoming quite the video game boy scout.
Good job Dan & Tom. You've worked hard & it's time to reap the benefits.
Did you guys know that if you name your hominid tomfulp you unlock tom's hair? Shhhh it's a secret.
Good luck on the awards show coming up soon. Don't forget to thank the fans <insert crazy fan noise here>
px hulk.
By the way, I mentioned before about how I got the game before. I forget to mention, however, how hard the game was to get. First we went to Ebx... they were sold out.. then we went to the other Ebx in our local mall.. sold out.. then we went to one more Ebx in that mall... sold out... finally we went to gamestop and they had just 1 copy left. Now Gta: San Andreas had about 150 copies in each store.. so AH is harder to get than GTA, one of the best games in its era.. so congrats Tom, Dan, and anyone else who helped produce this amazing game
Tom your game rocks because it's hard. And that's exactly why I don't like playing it. Makes me cry on the inside that I'll never see those fancy levels, and stuff. I'll like, buy the game and give it to some gaming cousin of mine I guess. I don't want to be stingy. I really suck at video games...

Congratulations are in order for newlyweds George Lucas and Mellody Hobson who welcomed a healthy baby girl into the world on Friday (Aug. 9). Media reports confirm that their little bundle of joy was delivered via surrogate.
Everest Hobson Lucas is the first biological child for the couple and joins Lucas' three adopted children: 32-year-old Amanda, 25-year-old Katie and 20-year-old Jett.
Lucas, 69, and Hobson, 44, tied the knot in late June at his Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, Calif. after dating for more than seven years. This is the second marriage for the Star Wars creator and the first for the chairman of Dreamworks Animation.
Before making things official, Hobson discussed with Oprah Winfrey the secrets behind their longtime relationship.
"I think it works because we are extraordinarily open-minded people and we're open to what the universe brings us," she explained. "I think we didn't have preconceived ideas about what a partnership should be and so we allowed ourselves to discover something that was unexpected."
Best wishes to the family!

Somebody Is Sneaking Into The Shebeen By The Backdoor
In which we learn that Senator Aqua Buddha is paying attention.
Top Commenter Will Hovingh goes deep into the hole at short and makes a great catch.
You may have noticed that Senator Aqua Buddha's presidential campaign has gotten off to a flying stop. He's proven himself to be petty, as well as a dolt. But this leads me to believe that he may be listening outside the door of a certain shebeen.
"The thing is about abortion — and about a lot of things — is that I think people get tied up in all these details of, sort of, you're this or this or that, or you're hard and fast [on] one thing or the other," Paul said. When the reporter persisted, Paul replied tightly: "I gave you about a five-minute answer. Put in my five-minute answer."

In the first six months of this year, Croatia drew EUR 506 million from European Union funds, as against the EUR 545 million drawn over 2015, caretaker Regional Development and EU Funds Minister Tomislav Tolusic said in Cakovec on Wednesday.
"Our goal is to draw a billion euros by the end of the year," he told reporters, adding that the caretaker government was not slowing down the absorption of EU funds but that absorption could be faster if things were "more normal".
"That won't prevent us from reaching the target amount of EUR 1 billion," he said, adding that communication with the European Commission was normal, tenders are being advertised and contracts signed.
Tolusic underlined the importance of EU funds for the Croatian economy, saying the state budget was based on them too and that grants stimulated the competitiveness of the national economy.
We must always try to draw more than we pay into the joint European coffers, he said.
Asked why incentives for energy-efficient homes were not being paid, Tolusic said that until now 80 percent of the incentives was paid from national funds, while now European funds were being used, covering 50-60% of the incentives.
"The tenders are ready, but we are negotiating so that Croatia can get a higher incentive because Ireland, for instance, has a 100% incentive," he said.
Tolusic visited Cakovec with caretaker Enterprise Minister Drko Horvat for the signing of a contract on the allocation of a HRK 8.8 million grant from EU funds for converting a former military complex into a student dorm.

Lazy Day Casserole - Spam (R)
Recipe by eightthirty
An easy casserole using Spam from the Spam website.
Top Review by mama smurf
Made half of this recipe (it makes quite a lot) for DH's dad and his friend for lunch. His dad saw this recipe with Spam that I had laying on the sink and said "that sounds good...I haven't had Spam for a long time". Perfect, I made it and stole a bite before taking it over to him. I did sprinkle some garlic salt over the spinach (I used fresh and zapped it in the micro for a few minutes) and added some grated cheese on top with paprika sprinkled on top of that. Tasted pretty good (anyway the bite I stole.) Definately will try this again just for DH and I. Made for SPRING PAC 2010.

Queensland History
It is difficult to know precisely when the Aboriginal people first arrived in Queensland. The oral tradition of Aboriginal people, passed down through myths and legends of the Dreaming, tells us that they lived in what we now know as Queensland for many thousands of years prior to European settlement. Archaeological sites in southern Australia have been firmly dated to around 40,000 years. In Queensland, many sites 15,000 to 30,000 years old have been excavated.
