Urban Areas and Watershed Services: Strategies for Ecosystem Management and Urban Risk Reduction
Under scenarios of increasing unplanned urban expansion, environmental degradation and hazard exposure, the vulnerability of urban populations needs to be tackled through novel, integrated solutions. Basing our analysis on the concept of ecosystem services, we suggest that urban areas would benefit from a shift in perspective recognizing the connections between urban areas and watersheds. By integrating an ecosystem approach into the management of water-related services, urban management policies could take a first step towards fostering an improvement of the health of upstream and downstream areas of the watershed, activating environmentally sound practices and economic strategies which aim at guaranteeing the sustainable and cost effective supply of services. From our analysis it results that, through the recognition of the primary role played by watershed ecosystems, cities can benefit from an enlarged set of policies, which can help strengthen the supply of essential environmental services, while reducing the vulnerability of its population and contributing to the maintenance of healthy ecosystems.

It's a well documented fact that we here at Adafruit love everything Ada Lovelace and everything LEGO. The two coming together is a treat for sure! Flickr user Andrew Becraft posted this awesome LEGO figurine and we were very excited to share it.
Ada Lovelace was born Ada Byron in 1815. Though she never met him, Ada was the daughter of the poet Lord Byron.
In 1833 (when she was only 17), Ada met Charles Babbage, the inventor of the Difference Engine. They became lifelong friends, and later, scientific collaborators.
In 1835, Ada married William King, who subsequently inherited a noble title, whereupon Ada became "Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace."
Babbage enlisted the Countess's help in translating the memoir of an Italian mathematician, and in the process Ada produced copious notes of Babbage's Difference Engine. It is for these documents, simply titled "Notes," that she remains famous today (although probably less so than she deserves). Although she is credited as the "founder of scientific computing," I would also argue that Ada was the first technical writer. 😉
Ada Lovelace died of cancer in 1852.

I became friends with music producer and promoter Sid Bernstein back in 1964 when he brought The Beatles to Carnegie Hall in New York for the first time just four months after I'd arrived as an immigrant in the Big Apple. Thus this tip of the typewriter in tribute to the impresario who died last Wednesday in Manhattan at age 95.
We remained in touch over the years, including when he brought the British pop group to Shea Stadium for their memorable 1965 concert. He gambled $6,500 on their two-concert booking in Carnegie Hall on what was Lincoln's Birthday — Feb. 12 back then.
Simultaneously, Ed Sullivan booked The Beatles for Feb. 9, and Capitol Records tied in the release of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" to coincide with both. It was a masterstroke, as the Liverpool lads became superstars.
Back then, I also was writing for British music newspapers and covered the shows and interviewed the foursome and manager Brian Epstein, who I'd also talked with back in his Liverpool furniture shop when I worked on the Daily Mail.
Sid went on to present other British bands including The Kinks and The Animals in Times Square and downtown music halls. He brought The Beatles back to Shea in 1965 for a $180,000 fee before they ended their performances with the same-year North American tour.
Sid's attempt to get them to come out of retirement with a $1 million offer failed. When I published Go Magazine in the late 1960s, Sid would always start our conversations with, "It's Sid Bernstein calling." He presented tours of everybody from James Brown and Judy Garland to Jimi Hendrix and Fleetwood Mac.
Sid said, "I always loved good music and people. It shouldn't just be about money. It's an art. It should be about loving what you do."
RIP, Sid. You were one of the best in one of the toughest of businesses, a remarkable, soft-spoken kind and gentle man who will always be remembered as the man who brought The Beatles to the USA.

Weather lowdown
Often known as the 'Harbour City', Sydney is located on the waterfront overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the east coast of Australia. The city is the capital of New South Wales and home to the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Sydney, and much of Australia, has brilliant subtropical weather all year round, with hot, sunny summers and mild winters. Due to its location in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are reversed in Sydney. February is still summer time, so the weather is hot and sunny with high humidity, caused by the chance of the occasional down pour.
In February, the average daytime temperatures in Sydney stay around the 23°C mark while high temperatures can hit a scorching 26°C on some days. The average minimum temperature rarely ever drops below 19°C which means that night times are still warm. February is the most ideal time to visit Sydney if you like very hot climates, as it is the one of the warmest months of the year in the city.
Manley Beach near Sydney
There's also plenty of sunshine in Sydney in February. The month sees around 8 hours of sunshine per day on average and a 19% chance of a sunny day, which allows plenty of time for hitting Bondi Beach and soaking up the rays on the soft golden sand. February is also a great time to swim in the sea or learn to ride the waves of the Pacific. The average ocean temperature around the coast of Sydney is of 23°C which is more than comfortable.
Although it is summer, the chances of rain throughout the month of February are quite high; the average monthly amount of precipitation for February is around 126 mm with a 52% chance of rain. You can expect to see rain for about 14 days throughout the month.
Where to stay
Sydney has a huge range of accommodation options to suit every budget and traveller. For amazing views of the city, you can't get much better than the Sydney Harbour Marriot Hotel. Each room is decorated in a contemporary style and has views of either the harbour, the city or the Opera House. Located in Circular Quay in the Central Business District, this hotel is just ten minutes' walk from the Opera House and five minutes from The Rocks and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
For a more affordable option, backpackers and tourists on a budget can enjoy a stay at The Australian Heritage Hotel. Located in the historic Rocks area, the Edwardian hotel has comfortable rooms and family suites with free breakfast every morning.
Koala at Taronga Zoo, Sydney
Things to do
As one of the largest cities in Australia, there's always something fun to see or do in Sydney, whatever the time of the year. The major event in February is the Chinese New Year. During this event, Sydney's China Town area is beautifully decorated and festivities take place all over the city, with processions and dragon races for travellers to witness. As well as this, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras takes place in February, with a parade concluding the month long celebration.
The Twilight Taronga Series continues in February and should not be missed if you're in the city at the right time. This event features concerts and twilight performances held at the Taronga Zoo on Friday and Saturday nights.
Speaking of Taronga Zoo, it is open every day of the year and is just a 12 minute ferry ride from the city. One of the most famous attractions in Sydney, the award-winning zoo makes a great day out for families and is home to over 4,000 animals, from Australian natives to exotic species. Guests can also try their hand at Wild Ropes, a sky high series of obstacles and suspension bridges in the trees.
Manly Beach, Sydney
Hit the beach
Sydney is an ideal mix of urban city buzz and laidback beach lifestyle. Located on the coast, the city is surrounded by beautiful stretches of beach where you can enjoy the year round sunny weather. While Bondi Beach is perhaps the most iconic in the area, Manly Beach makes for a fun day out with the family. Located north of the city, regular ferry services run from Circular Quay to Manly Beach, where tourists can enjoy spectacular views of Sydney Harbour on the 30 minute ride. The beach is home to the Manly SEA LIFE Sanctuary as well as many great restaurants, adventure activities, galleries and water sports facilities.
Eating and drinking
Whatever cuisine you like, you can find it in Sydney. The city has an array of eating and drinking options for visitors to indulge in. Iceberg Dining Room and Bar enjoys a coveted location in Bondi Beach, the second storey establishment suspended over the ocean pools, overlooking the ocean. This iconic seaside restaurant serves a delicious range of seafood dishes made with fresh, local produce and has a relaxed atmosphere, with hammocks and cushions to relax on.
The Bathers' Pavilion is another ocean front gem located across the harbour in beautiful Balmoral. This beachside café is housed inside a stunning 1920's building just steps from the sand. The Bathers' Pavilion serves up modern European cuisine with plenty of seafood alongside over 250 wine choices.
In the heart of the city, Est Restaurant is one of the best rated restaurants in Sydney, headed by award-winning chef Peter Doyle. The five star establishment is not for everyday dining but perfect for special occasions, with stunning Grecian décor, elegant chandeliers and a bright, airy atmosphere. Diners can enjoy a set menu of contemporary Australian cuisine that will tantalise the taste buds.

BLM is having to construct vehicle barriers 70 miles north of the border trying to protect a wilderness area. This demonstrates the gross inadequacy of Bingaman's 5 mile strip and surely the politicians are beginning to recognize the inappropriateness of wilderness on or near the border.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Morningstar analyst says Intel will admit to cutting capital spending
Post a comment
CHICAGO--Another financial analyst is predicting that Intel Corp. will soon buckle to the chip recession and cut capital spending from the company's current budget of $7.5 billion. In a new report, Morningstar Inc. analyst Jeremy Lopez said it is only a question of how much Intel will cut back from its record capital spending plans.
Until now, however, Intel executives have insisted that the Santa Clara, Calif., chip giant has no plans to lower its $7.5 billion budget this year, despite the fact it has pushed back a number of major projects. Earlier this month, Intel confirmed it was delaying a 300-mm wafer fab in Ireland (see March 14 story).
Lopez is also predicting an end to the recent rise in semiconductor equipment stocks because of new cuts in plant investments. He noted that the tech-heavy Nasdaq exchange has fallen 25% in the past three months but chip-equipment shares have edged up 6%.
Based on current capital spending budgets, Morningstar expects the top 20 semiconductor companies to reduce their 2001 budgets by at least 15%. Chicago-based Moringstar noted that these chip companies represent 70-to-80% of chip-equipment spending worldwide.
"This outlook may be dim, but it may get even worse," Lopez said. "The chip industry's biggest rollers, Intel and Samsung, likely will reduce their spending forecasts going forward. With their current capital-expenditure numbers buttressing an already poor forecast, we find it very unlikely these giants will bail out the chip-equipment industry.
"The question isn't whether or not Intel and Samsung will cut their spending, but rather by how much," he said.

Orchard Park girls soccer on solid footing
When it came to back-to-school shopping, Kristen Young drew the line at soccer spikes.
No need to replace her size 7.5 Nikes that carried her and the Orchard Park High School girls soccer team to last year's Section VI Class AA title.
She's not superstitious, she just knows what feels good, and nothing felt better than the Quakers winning their first title in 16 years. "They fit perfect, I don't want to get rid of them, we've been doing so well, there's no point," said Young, of the footwear she's worn for every game and practice the last three years.
The Quakers will take function over fashion every time if it means they can continue their winning ways. The team is off to a 3-0 start with a statement-making 3-2 win over ECIC I contender Clarence on Friday. Two of the OP goals came off the seasoned shoe of Young.
Young is in her third season on the varsity. She scored in both games last year against Class AA runner-up Williamsville North. She's constantly working to get open, is seldom out of position and appreciates the importance of doing the little things right. Her first goal this season came on a corner kick in which she was exactly where she was supposed to be.
Often a team in the hunt, OP is slowly becoming the hunted. For years OP would look at its schedule and see teams like Clarence, North and Kenmore West looming.
"We'd like to get the point where we're the ones other teams worry about," said coach Mike Graffeo. "Last year's team kind of got us to a new level. We have to make sure people don't like playing Orchard Park. 'They're so fast, so good.' We want them to have the mindset when they get off the bus they know it's going to be a hard game, they're going to have to scratch and claw every minute, it's going to be a battle."
The roster has just four seniors, but Orchard Park still believes it has the winning formula. Graffeo said most of his juniors have passed up invitations to play on premier club and travel teams to play with each other in the offseason. It has resulted in a team chemistry of trust as well as talent.
The Quakers, also winners of ECIC I, graduated seven from a 16-2 team who had started for multiple seasons. Replacing that depth and experience won't be easy.
"We told our girls we can't be last year's team, but we can be as successful," said Graffeo, now in his sixth season. "Those girls aren't around to do it for us, we need the new girls to step in so it's not just once-in-an-every-16-year event."
Up to the challenge will be senior Tia Saunders, a three-year starter, who will be asked to provide quality minutes at center defender.
Another three-year player, Emma Saul, can play forward or midfield.
OP awaits the return of senior forward Cherylee Kuerzdoerfer, who left the Clarence game with a knee injury. She had three goals in her first two games, and assisted on the first goal against Clarence before her exit.
Orchard Park opened the season with a 3-1 win over Mount Mercy. A 5-0 win at Jamestown followed before Clarence came to town.
The Quakers' next start is tonight under the lights against Grand Island at 7 p.m.
"We have a new standard for what we should be trying to achieve," said Graffeo. "We just have to put the pieces together. I've got a feeling when we finally figure it out, we're going to be playing some good soccer."
No doubt the Quakers will be putting their best foot forward.

Release Date: 2011 |
Album Rating: 3.0very nice nick
this all flows along smoother than a cashmere codpiece but i think thats what makes and simultaneously hinders the success of most of the songs here, some of it feels a bit inconsequential as a result
Surprised that people were pinning their hopes on this being some kind of future garage release
Slowly working my way through a write up of this now, great work though as usual
had this on my itunes for ages still havent listened. nice review though man.
Album Rating: 4.0What Deviant said. There was never any real indicator that he was going to make this into some future garage opus. I just figured he'd release an r&b album that would have some electronic touchstones here and there. Either way, good review.
really good review, especially the opening.
"So between How to Dress Well, James Blake, The XX, The Weeknd, and Jamie Woon, do we have a scene yet?"
I was wondering that myself. I love James Blake, The XX, and The Weeknd (not so much How To Dress Well) so I'll definitely give this a shot.
Great review Nick. I have to get into this genre sometime =S
He's no James Blake
Aside from the fact that they've essentially blown up in the mainstream print at the same time, the comparisons between the two are hardly warranted
Album Rating: 3.0I like this album but I don't love it. There's just something so pedestrian about it...and I couldn't stop feeling like I was listening to a new Robin Thicke album.
Album Rating: 3.5i'm such a sucker for this style man. fucking in love with it.
Album Rating: 4.5this is fuckin good.
Album Rating: 4.0entire album is some smooth shit
Album Rating: 4.0Thought this would wear off me but it seems to be getting better the more I listen
Album Rating: 4.0^that is absurdly good.
burial and woon should do an entire album together.
Album Rating: 4.0I really like this album.
So I just discovered this bloke has a Malaysian father. Lol.

Spain's Rafael Nadal had to wait three years and overcome a serious knee injury but he captured his second U.S. Open title with a 62, 36, 64, 61 victory here over world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
With his win Monday night on Arthur Ashe Stadium, the 27yearold tennis great notched his 13th Grand Slam title, thirdmost alltime behind Roger Federer (17) and Pete Sampras (14).
He also extended his undefeated run this year on hard courts once considered his worst surface to 22 matches.
Nadal got good mileage in the first set out of his highbouncing topspin forehand and also changed the pace of his shots effectively, frustrating Djokovic into errors that led to service breaks in the third and seventh games.
The Serbian turned things around, however, and enjoyed his best run of the match between the end of the second set and the start of the third, a stretch that saw him tie the contest at a set apiece and then grab a 20 lead in the third set.
Despite being outplayed, Nadal kept the third set close and was rewarded when Djokovic surrendered the servicebreak lead with a missed backhand in the sixth game.
The turning point in the match then occurred when the Spaniard found himself in a major jam when serving at 44.
Djokovic won three points in a row one of them when Nadal slipped and fell to the ground to put his opponent in a 040 hole, but the world No. 2 came storming back thanks to a forehand winner on the first break point and an ace at 3040, and he eventually held serve.
The missed opportunity took a mental toll on Djokovic while Nadal, who blasted a forehand downtheline winner to break serve in the next game, rode the momentum shift to a twosettoone lead.
There would be no more swings of the pendulum, as the Spaniard broke serve in the first game of the fourth set and cruised to the title against his increasingly frustrated opponent.
An elated Nadal fell onto his back in celebration when the Serbian, whose form fluctuated wildly during the match, sent one last forehand into the net for his 53rd unforced error.
The crowd in Arthur Ashe Stadium, including Spain's Queen Sofia, showed Nadal their appreciation by giving him a standing ovation.
"It was disappointing that I dropped the third set, even though I felt like especially in first four, five games I was the one who was, you know, dictating the play," Djokovic said in the postmatch press conference.
"In the end of the day, I have to be satisfied with the final, even though I would have loved to win this match tonight. But it was obvious that in the important moments he played better tennis, and that's why he deserved to win. I congratulate him, and I move on," the 26yearold, sixtime Grand Slam champion added.
The Spaniard, meanwhile, looked back on the entire season and called it "probably the most emotional one in my career," alluding to his return to the circuit after a long layoff due to injury.
"I felt I did everything right to have my chance here. So you know you play one match against one of the best players of the history as is Novak and No. 1 in the world on probably his favorite surface. So I know I have to be almost perfect to win," he said.
Nadal reflected on the pivotal third set, saying that "at the end of the second, beginning of the third Novak was playing just amazing ... it was really important stay only one break behind ... so I tried to be there, keep fighting."
He also referred to the escape from the 040 deficit in the ninth game of that set as "really amazing" and "one of the key moments of that match."
With the victory, the Spaniard improved his overall record against Djokovic to 2215 (the two players set an Open Era record Monday for most matches between two men) and evened up his mark against the Serb in Grand Slam finals at 33.
Three of those major finals have come at the U.S. Open, with Nadal winning in 2010 and Djokovic coming out on top the following year.
The Spaniard collected $2.6 million in prize money for winning the tournament and also pocketed an additional $1 million for having won the U.S. Open Series, a group of North American hardcourt events leading up to Flushing Meadows.
Nadal has made an extraordinary comeback this year from a knee injury that had kept him out of action for several months in 2012.
He has won 10 titles this season, including the U.S. Open and his eighth French Open championship, and is close to recovering the No. 1 ranking, although Djokovic held on to the top spot for the time being by reaching the final.

About Access Levels for Related Record Types
You grant or revoke access rights to related record types in step 2 of the Access Profile Wizard. For more information about using the Access Profile Wizard, see Process of Setting Up Access Profiles.
Related record types that are controlled through special privileges appear in all access profiles with the access level set to No Access by default. You must change the default setting to give your users the level of access that they require to the various record types.
For example, the Custom Object 04 record type is a related record type on the parent Opportunity record type. In the Full access profile, the Custom Object 04 related record type has its access level set to No Access by default. As a result, a user who is on an opportunity team with the Full access profile cannot see the related record types based on the Custom Object 04 related record type. If you want the user to see the Custom Object 04 records on opportunity records, you must change the default access level.
This topic describes the following:
Record Relationships
The relationship between a parent record type and its related record type (the child record) determines the access-level options that are available for assignment to the related record type.
The relationships types and the available access level options are as follows:

'The Lorax': Dr. Seuss it's not
"Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" splashes a rainbow palette across the screen, sets up exciting chase scenes, has voice talent that bursts excitedly from its big-headed computer animated characters' mouths and sets up a half-dozen brassy pop-rock song sequences.
What's not to like?
For one thing: the gentle, quivery, almost naive drawings of Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991, writing and drawing under the pen name of Dr. Seuss), coupled with those charming couplets and wacky wordplays are far from the hyper animation of "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax."
The movie title suggests the film-makers are reminding us, nay, insisting that this, indeed, is Dr. Seuss. So far from the source material has the movie strayed that there's little to identify it as particularly Seussian.
The four big-screen adaptations ("How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "The Cat in the Hat," "Horton Hears a Who," "The Lorax") of the beloved and critically-acclaimed Dr. Seuss books haven't translated well. The 11 television adaptations, four television series and even the musical ("Seussical") have fared better in hewing to the inherent cleverness and joy that is Dr. Seuss.
What's missing in the animated versions of Dr. Seuss, or any graphic novel, ne comic book, is the space between the pages and the missing scenes between the panels. We fill in those with our imagination.
At 24 frames per second, film is a demanding taskmaster. With Seuss, in particular, what's left out is as important as what's included, or, in the case of "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," what is added.
"Dr. Seuss' The Lorax " is busy and bold and overwhelming. It's as though the film-makers were on a sugar-high when they made it. That seems to sit well with the movie's target audience of those age 10 and under, who may be hyped by candy and soda from the concession stand.
The voices in "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" are quite good, especially that of old pro Danny De Vito as The Lorax. Nobody says irascible like DeVito. Betty White is equally distinctive as Grammy Norma. Zac Efron as Ted (the Boy), Taylor Swift as Audrey and Ed Helms as The Once-Ler fare less well.
Director Chris Renaud ("Despicable Me") and co-director Kyle Balda ("Toy Story 2" directing animator) have a good sense of animation pace.
The weakest element of "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" is the screenplay by Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul (both, "Hop," "Despicable Me," "Horton Hears a Who," "Santa Clause 2") based on Dr. Seuss' book.
There's not much of a story line: something about the need to not deforest the entire earth. The comedy tropes one expects from animated features are missing. The guy writing the lines for The Lorax seems out to lunch.
The 3-D effects are OK. There are a few good zingers but not enough to make you feel you've missed out if you see the movie in standard format.
The aforementioned songs seem to be shot out of a cannon. The are the stuff of generic pop-rock, most written by John Powell and Cinco Paul.
"Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" should please young children or young grandchildren.
After you take them to see it, read the book with them.
"Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," MPAA Rated PG (Parental Guidance Suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children) for brief mild language; Genre: Animation, Family, Fantasy; Run time: One hour, 24 minutes; Distributed by Universal Studios.
Credit Readers' Anonymous: "The Hustle" by Van McCoy adds some fun to a scene in "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax."
Box Office, March 9: "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," after opening at No. 1 March 2 on the 108th birth date of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss), was No. 1 again, $39.1 million, $121.9 million, two weeks; keeping another literature-sourced movie, "John Carter," based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs story, "A Princess of Mars," opening at No. 2, $30.6 million.

Company Snapshot: Corbo Ltd
Corbo is a large family property company owned and registered in Northern Ireland.
A considerable part of the property owned by this parent company and its subsidiaries is located in Great Britain.
Corbo owns a controlling part of the share capital of three other companies: Murray House, Lemon Quay group and ASM (NI) Developments. The registered accounts for Corbo do not consolidate the results for the subsidiary or related companies.
The nature of the property business and the way in which it registers accounts has the effect of showing operating profits as a large proportion of turnover. The turnover figures reflect the rental income from the property owned by the company. Operating profit is calculated before the deduction of net interest payments on borrowed funds. Pre-tax profits are shown after interest is deducted which in 2008-9 amounted to £23.8m.
The latest registered accounts show how Corbo was affected by the rise in property values until 2006-7 and then by the fall in values in the following two years. The capital assets of the company are held on the balance sheet at £696m at the end of February 2009. Even though £105m was spent on acquiring new assets in the last three years, the balance sheet values fell by some £9m.
This adjustment to the value of capital assets is illustrated by the note in the accounts showing that, in 2006-7 and 2007-8, there was an unrealised reduction in the valuation of assets of £114m. By comparison, an unrealised increase in the value of assets of £184m was noted in 2005-6.
Of particular interest in a large property company is the way in which bank borrowing relates to the balance sheet value of assets. Bank borrowing in February 2006, at £282m, represented 40% of the balance sheet values. In February 2009, this ratio had risen to over 64% and reciprocally, shareholders funds had declined as a proportion of assets.
A welcome feature of the most recent accounts is that the company has not had to make any further revaluation of assets and pre-tax profits have returned to the 'black'. In comparison with other property companies this is a creditable outcome.

Yesterday, BlogHer broke the blogging internet by telling us that Kim Kardashian will be keynoting the BlogHer16 conference next month. Honestly, my first reaction was ugh ... why Kim Kardashian? Two years ago, there was Kerry Washington, and last year, there was Ava DuVernay, and this year, my biggest excitement has been Mayim Bialik because ... Amy Farrah Fowler. But then I thought about it some more and I thought, hmmm, there's a lot I could learn from her actually. Kim is an incredibly Continue Reading
How Long Do You Think Kim And Kanye Will Stay Married?
So Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are finally married. Congrats to them. Personally, I don't see what all the hoopla is about. It's Kanye's first wedding, yes, but it's Kim's third wedding. Like I said on Twitter two days ago, I'll catch the next wedding --- and so will you. Damn. I missed the #KimyeWedding. Guess I'll have to catch the next one. — VERASTIC.COM (@verastic) May 25, 2014 Meanwhile, I think the most important question now: how long do you think they'll stay married? I Continue Reading
Kim Kardashian In A See-Through Dress. Do We Like?
Recently, I have found myself being very attracted to see-through clothes. I can't wear them to work (without a camisole under), but when I'm not going to work, I wear the heck out of it. Not too much, but I do love it. Anyway, I saw pictures of Kim Kardashian in this see-through dress, and I just love it! I may not have the guts to wear see-through top to bottom, but maybe just the top. I don't know who made the dress, but it's beautiful, and Kim Kardashian wears it well. Maybe it's the Continue Reading
Ever Since Kim Kardashian Got Pregnant …
She's been confusing the hell outta me with her clothes. While a lot of people have said that they "love" this dress on her, I personally find it strange. There is too much breast going on in there. And it feels like she's attempting too much to cover up the bump, which I don't understand. Pregnant women are all kinds of sexy. Some more sexier, of course. I think she just doesn't know what to do with this new body she has. And the more people criticize her and put her on the worst dressed Continue Reading
Did Kim Kardashian Tweet That Nigeria Is Disgusting???
That's what's keeping the world awake right now. A tweet has "leaked." And it's from Kim Kardashian - allegedly - saying that Nigeria is a disgusting country. Naturally, Nigerians are pissed the hell off, especially considering that she just came to Nigeria last month and collected a whopping $500,000 for showing up. Here's the tweet that's about to start World War III. Before you send holy ghost fire after her, please be aware that there is currently no validation or authentication that Continue Reading

My Complete Thoughts On Kim Kardashian In Nigeria
Darey (Dare?) had a concert this past weekend in Nigeria. I have read a lot of blogs that reported on the event, and everyone (including people that commented) have said two things in common: 1. The concert was beyond amazing. It was like nothing they have ever experienced. 2. Kim Kardashian made no difference whatsoever AND she was on stage for like a few seconds. When I wrote the piece "Lessons Hollywood Can Learn From Nollywood," that was my way of highlighting some of the Continue Reading
Who Is Kim's Actual Baby Daddy? And Other Stories
Okay, I'll admit it ... I am shocked and happy that Kim Kardashian and Kanye are STILL together. It's like everyday I read something about them, I'm surprised all over again. Unless they are giving us some bad ass photo ops, I think it's safe to say that these two are genuinely happy. And for some reason, I'm genuinely happy for them, too. Sometimes, we easily forget that these celebrities are just people, and they probably want what we all want: love, peace, joy, etc. In spite of my doubts, Continue Reading
The BET Awards: My Two Favorite Dresses … And The Real Power Couple
So Sunday night was BET Awards. Honestly, prior to Igwe, I was not much of an awards-watching person. I would usually just catch the highlights the next day, but lately, I've been watching and enjoying them - even the red carpet! I guess I'm evolving. I'll try my best to keep this post short. There were two dresses that I instantly fell in love with: Rocsi Diaz, host of 106 & Park When I saw Rocsi interviewing people in this dress (whose maker I do not know), I completely stopped Continue Reading

Praying According to the Instructions - One Year Devotions for Women - November 30
So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. - Hebrews 11:6
One of the things that discourages some from praying is the fear that they won't do it right. For example, it says in Hebrews 11:6 that whoever comes to God must believe. But what if I feel I don't believe enough? How do I measure my faith, or how does God measure it? Do I have to do it right in order to get my prayers answered?
If you buy a cake mix and then ignore the instructions on the box, you can't blame the manufacturer if the cake flops! It's a little the same with prayer. We need to read the instructions:
- We must come in faith, believing that there is a God who will hear us and reward us (Hebrews 11:6).
- We must willingly let God examine our heart (Psalm 139:23-24), confess our sins (1 John 1:9), and then repent (Acts 3:19).
- We can pray even if we feel that our faith is small (Matthew 17:20).
- We must consider if there are any of our relationships that need mending. Then we need to go and try to make them right (Matthew 5:23-24).
- We must come to prayer by asking in Jesus' name and for his sake.
- We can ask ourselves, "Will the answer to this prayer glorify Jesus and extend the work of the kingdom?" (John 14:13).

Infused with vitamin E and a blend of pep tides the result is skin that instantly looks firmer, younger and healthier. It's the perfect age-fighting foundation for normal to dry skin, visibly reducing the appearance of pores, fine lines, wrinkles and skin imperfections for skin that looks luminous, radiant and immediately brightened as skin texture appears visibly improved. Moisturizing complex enriched with skin-loving jojoba delivers lasting comfort and hydration Gives skin a long-lasting luminous finish Color stays true hour after hour In 23 skin-perfecting shades Transfer- and humidity-resistant
I recently purchased a few items from Mary Kay, this foundation in particular is not one of the items I liked. It says it provides medium to full coverage. I usually wear full coverage foundations and it is what I usually look for in them.. Full coverage...
This foundation did not give me the full coverage I look for in a foundation.
I had to set it with my Artisty Ideal dual Powder foundation to achieve a better look.
It made my skin look ashy. The color line is either too orange or too pink. I like yellow undertone foundations. The shade that matched me and was still a bit too white was Ivory 6. The next shade was too pink so I much rather get a lighter foundation and set it with a darker powder than getting a pink tone foundation which usually makes me look red-brown. I really wanted to like this foundation but was bummed out with the results. I don't think I will repurchase again.
I really hope this review was helpful. As I always say what may work for me may not work for you and vise versa. I've heard other's love this foundation but it was just not meant for me. :(
Thanks for stopping by!

Tanya R.wrote a review of DAKINE Lynx Glove - Women's on December 23, 2008
really good gloves
work well, look great! I doubt they're intended to be directly IN snow, like building snowmen and snow forts and making snowballs w/my 3 little kids, b/c I did notice my fingertips got a bit cold w/those activities; but for shoveling snow or sledging and other activities where my hands weren't right IN the snow most of the time, my fingers were just fine. these gloves are flexible and relatively easy to move in, they stood up great to wet, and they're way cute -- I'm very happy I bought them!

A Toronto firefighter is recovering from minor injuries after being blinded by smoke while battling a blaze at College Street and Ossington Avenue Wednesday morning.
The two-alarm fire broke out just after 7 a.m. in the roof of a two-storey building that was under construction at 842 College St., Toronto Fire Services said in a news release.
The main floor of the century-old building used to be a restaurant, and two unoccupied apartments were on the second floor. The firefighter fell through a hole in the floor cut by contractors and was taken to Toronto Western Hospital for treatment."When you hit the fire with water, the room immediately goes very, very dark. Smoke fills the room and we're virtually blind," Platoon Chief Norman Clements said.
Twelve fire trucks and 45 firefighters were at the scene. Chief Clements said the blaze was under control quickly, but traffic was backed up until about 8:30 a.m.

text: Had the family over for a my first brisket smoke...pressure was on! Got a 12lber from the local butcher. It was pretty well trimmed so I basically left it as is other than removing the large, tough chunk of fat from the corner ("corn??") Rubbed with cracked black, green and red peppercorns and some fresh ground Himalayan salt. Loaded the ANMPS with some competition blend for ~8hr smoke. And the finished deal. I put it on at midnight, pulled it at 4PM the next day. Kept it in the a roasting pan the whole time and foiled it after 8hrs of smoking. IT was 201, and put it into a cooler for 3 hrs before cutting. Bark was perfect. Probably should've pulled it at ~195 for that rest time, the end was a little dry. The temp control wasn't the best, between 225-275. Figured out that keeping water in my MES cookmaster is key. Everyone loved it though. Majority of people had never had proper bbq and certainly never a proper brisket. Served it with Dutch's wicked baked beans, mac&cheese, coleslaw, corn on the cob and greek salad. Was a great meal for 18 or so people. Learned a lot on this smoke but definitely happy that I have gone with an electric setup with an ANMPS for these long smokes. Can run it overnight without touching things which is great. I'm thinking a mailbox mod is in order now though. Keeping the ANMPS going with lots of water in the smoker is near impossible.

For more than two weeks, the parents of five missing young people have been living inside a Mexican state prosecutor's office in an attempt to pressure authorities to find their children.
The parents spent the first night sitting on cold plastic chairs. Then they brought mattresses, a microwave oven and a television set inside the government building.
"It's our home now," said Columba Arroniz Gonzalez as she heated up some tortillas and soup for her gaunt-looking husband in the patio of the prosecutor's office in Tierra Blanca, in the eastern state of Veracruz.
Their son, Bernardo Benitez, 25, is among the five young people, including a 16-year-old girl, who disappeared after state police officers detained them in gang-plagued Tierra Blanca on January 11.

LITTLETON, Colo. {AP} They are called the "Trench Coat Mafia," a group of about 10 students who wear long black coats, keep to themselves and follow shock rocker Marilyn Manson.
Despite their dark lifestyle, they had not shown an inclination for violence before Tuesday, according to some of their fellow students at Columbine High School.
Authorities and school district officials said they had never heard of the group. A reference to it in last year's Columbine yearbook reveals nothing more than general teen-age exuberance.
Even so, some students said they believed the two gunmen who went on a shooting rampage at Columbine were members of the group.
Sean Kelly, a 16-year-old student, said he saw several members of the group make a video about their guns in a video production class.
He also said several members of the group recently bragged that they had gotten new guns.
Some students said the killers targeted minorities and athletes. Kelly said he heard Trench Coat Mafia members making "generally derogatory remarks" about blacks and Hispanics.
Andrew Beard, a student, said on CNN's "Larry King Live" that members of the group "talked about how jocks, how all the football players, were in a world of their own, thinking they were on top of everything and nothing mattered to them."
But other students had developed a less innocent image of the group.
"They're really dark people," said Wes Lammers, a 17-year-old junior.
"There were a lot of jokes that one day they might snap or something."
Added Josh Nielsen, a 17-year-old junior: "They're not well-liked in the school and no one treated them well."

Friday Night Cake Club called to order! Come on in and tell us what you're working on!
I know I opened a little early this tonight but I'm coloring several shades of green and blue fondant for a cake and I was between colors...I'm almost done, though, so I'll be back in a bit!
Hi Elcee, Yes, was surprised to see it open, but its Mother's Day. Am taking a break from all my cake pop roses and other goodies.
I get 2 Mother's Day. Today is Mexican (an anybody other Hispanic culture) Mother's Day and then on Sunday our own. So its a double whammy for me.
Cakes are all done, Lots of 6"'s, chocolate filled cups, cookies, push pops & now just these monster cake pop roses.
Not sure why I took on so much work Mother's day weekend. But I'm having fun doing it. I usually do fondant lettering on my cakes, but tonight, I'm piping everything. Not sure why I picked this week to be crazy. Piping lettering in red on a white cake? Yep, I'm insane, especially when I have the worst handwriting ever.
Next week I'll be back to punching out all my letters with Tappits, because I am ruining my cakes with my piping.
I'm doing a mother's day cake with cupcakes, a 1st communion cake, and a 3rd birthday skylander's portal cake. Done with #1, about to finish up #2, and the skylander's cake will get done tomorrow.
Have a great night!
I'm doing a 4th birthday cake for Sunday, 8" chocolate and 10" inch vanilla, with fondant grass wrapped around it, and some flowers and bugs attached. The last layer is in the oven right now, and these are the decorations I made yesterday.
Hi guys, I'm exhausted already listening to what you have lined up. tdove you are very brave (?) piping red on white. I have spent the week playing with those cabbage roses that Maggie Austin makes. They look acceptable and will probably look better when they have been airbrushed as they are just white at the moment.
This is my stoned giraffe, that looks more like a baby dragon, and my Viking fairy that I made at my workshop the other week. Fun times. Have a good week everyone.
cazza1: I think he looks like a giraffe- he's just a bit loopy. Call it a sugar high. lol
I'm making calla lilies for a cake next Friday. It's going to be cool and wet here so I want plenty of time for them to dry.
I tried making gelatin gummies today and so far, so good. I don't know if they'll stand up to heat, humidity, and hanging, though. I only have a week to experiment with it then I have to start on the cake for it. I need something that looks like blood dripping from an arm and hand. I tried Sugarveil but I was a total failure with that this week. I'll have to try it again some other time.
Wow! You all are busy! I'm working on a fishing themed cake for a 4 year old. All the little pieces are done, river rocks, cat o' nine tails, goldfish, frogs, and ducks. Cake is torted, filed, iced and ready for fondant and decorating in the morning.
Auntginn, happy 1st Mother's Day!
tdovewings, I keep saying I need to practice my piping but never seen to get around to actually doing it. It's been a long time since I wrote on a cake.
kikiandkyle, I just love it when all the little pieces of the cake are ready to go and it's time to start decorating.
cazza1, your figures are adorable!
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's cakes!

Do you have time to get to a Michael's or Joanne's? The Wilton plastic tubes are compatible with the SPS plates. I used them when my cake was a little too short and it was fine. Good luck!
cheatize, sounds interesting!
Elcee every thing is closed now . I well try Walmart and see what they have. Thanks
Good Evening everyone!
My week is INSANE! I Should have known better but I never seem to learn.. haha. I was well prepared I think though. Going to be somewhat of a long night, but i work better at night.
I do cupcake promos every time a holiday of some sort comes around, so I have 15 doz standard and I think like 20 dozen minis... I don't even know anymore. I also have 18 angry birds, 18 owls and 24 elephant cupcakes. Elephant cupcakes have a 6" cake, Daisy flower Pot cake, Red Velvet 6" Mom's day cake AND that's all for tomorrow. All of the toppers are made, I just have to get my butt in gear and start frosting those darn cupcakes. AND I had a Zebra/Cheetah party for today as well. That is gone though, thankfully:)
Cazza: Those figures are awesome!
Kikiandkyle: Hope I catch the final product on here. I usually try to make it back Saturdays and Sundays but sometimes my mind gets away with me.
Elcee: Can't wait to see it
Just finished two cookie platters (about 14 cookies each) for a grandpa's 70th/young lady's 16th. These are freebies, which I spent abou 12 hours decorating! Each one is custom cut and decorated. Golf for Grandpa and Car/keys/tennis/etc for young lady. I am very pleased with them, just have to put messages on the center plaque cookies, and plate them up in the morning.
One of these days, I need to learn to decorate sitting down, 'cause my legs they do hurt tonight!!
AThose cuppies are gorgeous. I was supposed to be trying a new recipe for mudcake but I got a last minute order. 10 inch dbl dark choc with Irish cream buttercream and choc curls. And I finished before 9pm1[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3004255/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
Great to see what you are all up to.
Icubed sitting helps enormously but make sure you have a good stool or your back will pay for it. I used to stand far to much until I converted my sewing room into a cake room. This week I went and bought a new chair (without arms) so I can swivel from one side of my table to the other without twisting my back all the time and roll on the castors. Making my roses was much more pleasant than when I started them last week on a static chair. Interestingly I could not buy a plain round stool on castors but had to buy a computer chair. I thought round stools would be really common.
Hey, I just realised we are having Mother's Day together. Anyone from other countries celebrating Mother's Day this Sunday. I have noticed that quite often out special holidays like this do not coincide.
Ella: I LOVE your chocolate shavings. The cake sounds very yummy. I have tried to get the curl and still haven't mastered it yet. Maybe someday, and when I do, I am sure I will put them on everything!
Auntginn: I agree, roses are very time consuming. That one looks awesome!
Cazza: That is absolutely brilliant! I am just in the middle of building a licensed kitchen in our basement, and I have a custom-made moveable island but I never even thought of a moving chair. I am so buying that for myself for my birthday.
This is what I have been up all night doing... I just finished... It is 4:15am where I live in BC, Canada. This might be my favorite cake so far. Thank you to all the lovely ideas I gathered from this community of creative geniuses!! This is coconut cake with mango buttercream and raspberry lemonade cake with vanilla buttercream. It's hard to see but the entire thing has been airbrushed with edible pearl sheen.
ACazza, love the figurines! That fury is precious!
Brettley, those cupcakes are beautiful. They look like a lot of work! And, the cake is gorgeous!
Kvand, that cake is really beautiful. Purple is so difficult & you nailed it! Elegant.
ASo, this was my week from hell. I honestly even forgot it was Mother's Day until someone told me in Thursday.
As some of you know, we moved. This was my first real week in the new house.
This week is very popular in Charleston. Weddings, graduations, & the usual birthdays. I committed to 2 grooms cakes, a graduation cake, a birthday cake, & a 5 tier weddin cake with brush embroidery & replicated dress detail. Exhausted.
Also, this is one if those weeks I kinda wish I was a but more anonymous here. I could tell a story!!
This was a last minute grooms cake. Sunday! Very humid here in charleston. Had to do those gears 3 times!
AGrooms cake # 2.[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3004357/width/200/height/400[/IMG] Not the best face, but he works.
Wow loving all the pics in here,
everyone has been busy this week , I am too tired to upload the camera , I have done a Winnie the Pooh themed cake , for the worst client ever , I actually threatened to cancel her order . A three tiered wedding cake including , bride , groom , cat and two dogs. The last one was a carved wooden jewelry box . I think that was actually my favourite.
Well I am off to bed now I have been up since before five and it is now nearly 10pm. Everyone here has been fed , watered and medicated. ( not necessarily in that order). I will come back tomorrow and have a proper look at all the pics . Goodnight .
AThe College Of Charleston has a wonderful tradition. The very first day, students pass through the Cistern gate to write their names in the register. Upon graduation, they have another ceremony of passing through the gate. It was perfect inspiration for this cake: [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3004358/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
I'm usually so meticulous about names. Not everyone can spell Laney correctly so I'm sensitive to it. Well this was a last minute order yada yada yada. Had to redo top to correct spelling. [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3004359/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
A[IMG][IMG][IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3004362/width/200/height/400[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]Ok, I'm gonna stop monopolizing thi thread. Last one!
This is the wedding cake:
AOk, last one & ill stop monopolizing the thread. [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3004363/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
Kvand your cake is stunning. I bet you are feeling great about it.
Delicious you have exhausted me. If we weren't running 2 hours behind Chelle I would be following her to bed. I must confess that I don't really get the whole steam punk look but you did a great job.
Chelle we look forward to seeing your cakes when you have the energy to upload them, especially to see the Winnie the Pooh one after all the drama.
Wow everyone's cakes look amazing, making me feel like such an amateur (technically I am since I don't sell my cakes!).
I'll post when the cake is done later tonight.
You might look for 'doctors stool' when looking for a backless stool on wheels. That's what they're most commonly sold as. I have a computer chair at my dining table as that is where I work the most - ugly but much easier on the back than a dining chair.
Wow, everyone's pictures look great! I won't have one of mine until much later this afternoon but will post it when I'm done. I do my best work early in the morning so I'm headed off to finish!

DL man with active warrant in court for fugitive charge
A Detroit Lakes man appeared recently in Becker County District Court on a felony fugitive from justice charge.
Kenneth Edward Hampshire, 25, of 20304 County Road 21, Detroit Lakes, was behind the wheel of a vehicle that was stopped for a traffic violation in Becker County on Feb. 3.
It was subsequently discovered that Hampshire was wanted on an active warrant in Cass County, North Dakota, on charges of burglary and property theft.
Hampshire signed a waiver of extradition at his initial court appearance, agreeing to be escorted by law enforcement officers to face the charges against him in North Dakota.

Is there really such a Thing as a "Second Chance" in Education?
While the reading proficiency of Canadian 15-year-olds closely predicts reading proficiency at age 24, young adults can shape their reading skills after the end of compulsory schooling. In the transition to young adulthood, reading skills generally improve – but more for some groups than for others. Immigrants, in particular, manage to close performance gaps between the ages of 15 and 24. Participation in some forms of formal post-secondary education is consistently and substantially related to improvements in reading skills between the ages of 15 and 24.

34 Tasting Notes
I was given this one by TeaVivre, so thank you again!
I drank it this morning after an almost sleepless night to calm me down a little bit. While steeping, the chrysanthemum flower came of and blossomed in the pot, which made the act of brewing so much more fun :)
The color was really thick and dark, just the way I like it. At first I thought I oversteeped it, but it turned out to be just right. The taste is really earthy, with some wooden touches. On the second steeping, the floral hints are becoming more apparent, which I like very much. And is leaves a great sweet aftertaste, but I still added half a teaspoon of sugar to help that floral taste to be richer.
A great tea, I will be looking forward to ordering this one and maybe trying some of the other TeaVivre Pu-Erhs.
I just got this one from TeaVivre and I was really excited about the sample package! I was surprised by the generous sizes of the samples, thank you again, TeaVivre!
I steeped this one for 1 1/2 minutes and it smelled amazing right away. I've never tried a Lapsang Souchong before, so it's my first experience :) The dry leaves do smell so intense that I took a deep breath and then coughed for a minute or two! It is amazing.
When I took the first sip I didn't feel anything, but a split second later a wild smoky taste blossomed in my mouth, but I still could feel a great deal of good black tea leaves. A really nice sour'n'sweet aftertaste is also present and gives a good strong finishing touch.
Overall, it is an amazing tea and I don't really have the words or skills to properly describe it. It is just the most surprising tea I'v ever had and I am totally going to buy some more.
This is so far one of the
This is the third sample that Will Work For Tea was so kind to give me!
I finished the last of my final exams today, so I figured I would treat myself with this great tea! The smell of dry leaves is very interesting, I even couldn't resist eating a small crunchy nut piece :) The smell is a pretty wild mix of sweet nuts, really roasty aroma and green tea.
The taste is very different from the smell. But it still has that really nice roasty taste. And for some reason it reminds me of a cereal from my childhood :)
Overall, I didn't expect a green tea to turn out so nice in a combination with nuts and roasty taste. I won't be buying it soon, but it sure will be on my list.
This is the third and the last sample I got from the great Fong Mong Teas. Thank you once again!
This one is very soft and creamy, but has a nice butter hint to it. It doesn't surprise with a variety of taste or a wild bouquet of taste nuances. But it is surely a great tea, the smell is very full and rich, especially the one of dry leaves. And the buttery/earthy touch gives a nice warm sensation.
I will consider having this one as a dinner tea or a great tea for eating sweets and snacks!
This is the second sample I've been given by Fong Mong Teas
I really like watching oolongs steep, that's why I made it in a transparent glass :) A really meditative experience
The leaves had a very usual generic smell, so I thought it won't be really good. But the taste has a heavy floral side, with a creamy aftertaste, which I find pretty unusual in greens/oolongs. I added a little bit of sugar too, to help that flower-y thing develop a little bit more.
I won't be drinking this one much I suppose, but it is surely a decent tea, maybe just not strong enough for me.
I'd like to thank Fong Mong Teas for sending me this sample!
I'm not a big fan of greens and oolongs, so I was not really sure about this one at first. I added a hint of sugar since the initial taste was a bit too strong for me. But then it got better – I could feel a nice bouquet of flavors – mint, floral hints and a decent strong roasty base.
This tea leaves an interesting tingling sensation in the mouth which I like very much, reminds me of mint candies. But the best thing about this one is the base. It's deep and solid and is filling the whole spectrum of taste, so to say.
Overall, it's not the best one I've tried, but it is definitely good and the mint-y hint is a really great touch to the taste.
Made this one for my whole family today. Everyone was impressed and really curious about how in the earth are nutty teas even possible :) A good evening it was
I personally tried it with milk this time and I have to say, I liked it more without milk. It doesn't have enough nutiness to carry it brightly through the creaminess of the milk. However, I'm not saying it was bad, it was just not as nutty as I expected but overall, a great experience!
This is the second tea that Will Work For Tea was so kind to send me as a sample!
As soon as I opened the bag I was blown away by the heavy smell – thick and dense, really heavy on the nuts. I expected some rough pepper-y smell, but it surprised me with a creamy sensation. So it was a great surprise, smells delightful and reminds me of Christmas somehow :)
I steeped it for 4 minutes to get more of that taste out in the cup. For the first cup I used bit of sugar and it was great. Really great taste, filling all corners of the mouth and leaving a nice tingling sensation in the end. But super-creamy and soft.
For the second cup I used milk, and it was even more great. I'm not a big fan of dairy products in my tea, but this one was outstanding. Usually I enjoy a cookie or some other sweets with my tea, but it was so good that it was a meal itself :)
Overall, this tea is really great, an unexpected mix of spicy and creamy. And my room and kitchen did smell of spicy nuts for at least 3 hours after steeping. Amazing tea, I will be looking forward to buying this.
Again, I have to thank Will Work For Tea for this great sample!
This is the first tea from the sample pack that was sent to me by Will Work For Tea!
The smell was great, I loved it instantly. The nuts are very "present" in the smell, but not dominating the whole picture.
I was so exited about this that I almost oversteeped it, but it turned out I held it only for 30 or so more seconds than I wanted. Good luck for me :)
The taste was very, very mild, really creamy and dessert-y. I added a hint of sugar, will try it with milk next time! Overall, one of the best dessert teas I've drank, a really good one for evenings with a book or some good music.
I've been drinking this one all day long and it's evening now and it's really hot, so I decided to try it iced. Haven't tried an iced tea in a long time, so this was a refreshing experience for me. And I must say, this one works great when iced.
I added some lemon slices and sugar. Tastes great, really bright, cheers me up in the pre-exam evening!

Additional Golf Course Reviews:

|Review by: Anonymous
|I thought Raisin Valley was a nice little course.(5600 from the Blue Tees) If your a mid to high handicap this course will help your ego. I'm a 12-14 and shot 77. I think it's really good for beginners and ladies with average to short drives. Greens were a little on the slow side but held the ball on approuch shots from 180 yrds out. Over all the wife and I had a great time.

As those of us getting ready for the High Point Market [1] start the final phase of training for our merchandise marathon, I want to make sure one event in particular ends up on your show agenda. The Accessories Resource Team [2] (ART) hosts a good-natured bowling tournament each market on Monday night as a fundraiser for its educational programming. Sponsored by IHFC [3], the ART of Bowling includes dinner and one of the best networking opportunities at the show, bringing all segments of the home accessories industry together with a great equalizer that ensures none of us are taking ourselves seriously: those hideous shoes. Download a registration form here [4] to sign up in advance and get in for $40, or show up on-site (High Point Bowling Center [5], 309 W. Fairfield Road) for the 7 p.m. dinner and pay $10 more at the door.
Registration is also now open for the 2011 ART Conference [6]. Taking place May 12-15 at the Rancho Bernardo Inn [7] in San Diego, this year's program covers relationship marketing, connecting with Millennials, selling the hospitality/contract market and the home fashion trends you need to know. Hands-on workshops between these sessions consistently keep attendees engaged, and ART always adds a little je ne sais quoi to the mix that manages to keep spirits light and lively throughout. Ask anyone who has already been to a conference, or check out this video [8] starring yours truly and a host of home luminaries about why your business will benefit from your being there.
My final plug for ART is to thank Executive Director Sharon Davis for her assistance with our first-ever Showroom IdeaShare roundtable at the January Dallas Market [9]. The event provided an honest and open forum for lighting showrooms to discuss the subjects most salient to them. Stay tuned to future issues and newsletters for anonymous excerpts that you will likely find enlightening as well.

Leave it to an Australian to tell it like it is. Rachel Griffiths, who was nominated last year for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in Hilary and Jackie, makes no bones about why she skipped this year's ceremony.
"I could have gone but it's kind of like, after you've been at the table who wants to be down with the dogs?" the Muriel's Wedding co-star tells TV Guide Online. "I'll wait till I'm at the table again. I don't want to eat scraps off the damn carpet."
Griffiths is still proud her Oscar gown got people talking. "Someone in Vogue or something said I looked like a large lollipop. I was like, 'Yeah!' Everybody's so straight. At least I went out there in a big pink dress and did the lollipop thing!"
She's just as amusing on-screen in her latest film, Me Myself I, playing a single woman who learns what life would be like if she had married Mr. Right. Griffiths describes it as "Working Girl meets Groundhog Day."
Returning to comedy was a relief for the actress. "After Hilary and Jackie I went back to Australia and did A Doll's House, which made Hilary and Jackie look like There's Something About Mary. I was, like, 'Um, I need to lighten up!' " Mission accomplished.

I had the privilege of directing Dick Clark in television commercials for 17 years. But the real privilege was to be able to call him my mentor and friend… and to have him consider me as a friend as well.
Our best times together came after the camera stopped rolling and the lights were out. We shared many lunches and dinners together, typically with his beautiful wife Kari and my partner Kenny. There is one time in particular when we were all in the kitchen of Dick's beautiful home (one of several) in Malibu. Kari couldn't get the stove working properly and we all pitched-in to solve the problem. There were lots if laughs as we struggled with what should have been as easy assignment.
He was the most gracious person ever. Serving drinks to his guests personally from behind his bar where the "secret passage" for his dogs to transit from one area of the house to another was hidden.
He greeted everyone as if he knew you personally. Always greeting new guests in the eye and with that warm, welcoming handshake.
My best birthday ever was last year when Ken drove me to a restaurant on the beach… only to be greeted by Dick and Kari for a wonderful lunch overlooking the Pacific. A private lunch with a man my mother used to watch on television when I would come home from school! I never imagined that one day I would ever be able to meet him – let alone direct him in TV commercials – and visit with him personally. Such a wonderful man.
Dick loved learning what was happening in radio. He also took great joy in being a father figure and offering advice about my career. I could never thank him enough for what he did behind the scenes to further my career.
To say he will be missed is an understatement. He is loved by millions and literally helped thousands of young hopefuls go forth in their quest for a career in broadcasting. Generosity was part of his DNA, helping more people than you could imagine. "Big" names that fell on hard times received a huge helping hand from Dick.
Most people don't know that Dick liked caricatures of frogs. We'd spot one during our travels and bring it home as a gift. We loved seeing him smile when we'd give him yet another one for his collection.
Dick and Kari loved their dogs and had many four-footed friends over the years; most in groups of three. They owned the halls of Dick Clark Productions and you were always instructed to stand aside if they came running through… and to never disturb them if they were sleeping. Dick even agreed to have my own dog, a white Samoyed named Kimo, appear in one of our commercials. He wasn't trained, but Dick got an "A" performance out if him by hiding Kimo's favorite treat – ice – in his hands. Some of the out takes were so funny that he used them on "Bloopers & Practical Jokes" – just one of the many network shows that Dick produced.
Dick and Kari's right hand at DCP is Amy… and I would be remiss by not noting her tremendous contributions to Dick & Kari both personally, and professionally. Amy's a gem, and greatly loved by the family.
There are hundreds of other memories that I would love to share… but I am typing this all on an iPhone at an airport and I apologize for any typos in the process.
Thank you Dick, for being my friend and counselor. For sharing special times with us… and for allowing me to help you in such small ways these past few years. New Years Eve will never be the same as the new year draws near… but millions of people will recall your smile and hear your voice as those last few seconds are counted down. We love you very much.

Merging iOS with OS X is a "waste of energy" according to Apple executivesPosted by: Andrew Kameka in Apple news, iOS News, Mac, tags: Apple news, iOS, OS X
Don't expect Apple to follow Microsoft's move to merge all of its operating systems under one common interface or resource. Doing so would be a "waste of energy" according to Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of marketing. Schiller made the comment in an interview with Macworld in which he and lead software engineer Craig Federigh discussed the history and vision of Mac computers. Federigh explained why iPhones and MacBooks shouldn't run the same software by saying: Read More »

Discussion in 'Pros' Racquets and Gear' started by Michael Pemulis, Jan 5, 2010.
Did any of you notice Flavia Pennetta wearing no-logo clothing at ASB Classic (Auckland, NZL)?
They probably dropped her and Robredo to pay for Djokovic
Dang...I saw "Pennetta wearing no" and dropped my coffee...
This thread is worthless without pictures. Pennetta without clothing :shock:
She is so over rated.
The only time she looks like a WEAK 8 is with HEAVY makeup and photoshopped.
See her the TC bag check with no makeup?
She looks horrid.
Anyone that thinks shes hot needs glasses.
wat? For a tennis player she's top notch. If girls like Azarenka, Ivanovic or Wozniaki are considered beautiful tennis players, then Pennetta would get a 14 on a scale of 1-10.
Check this out, please

Hey guys, I am having some trouble viewing draft sites when SilverStripe is located in a user's home drive. Calling each page and appending "?stage=Stage" to the URL works, but not by clicking on "Draft Site" within the CMS. The apparent reason for this is that the URL does not contain "~user", but "%7Euser". My .htaccess is the default one with the addition of the following line in the mod_rewrite block:
RewriteBase /~user/silverstripe2
Whenever I click on "Draft Site", I get redirected to http://.../~user/silverstripe/Security/login?BackURL=%2F%257Euser%2Fsilverstripe%2Fabout-us%2F%3Fstage%3DStage which simply displays "You're logged in as xyz".
Any ideas?
