TWD: Milk Chocolate Mini-Bundt Cakes
This week's TWD was selected by Kristin of I'm Right about Everything: milk chocolate mini-bundt cakes! When it comes to chocolate, I get the impression that most of my blogging buddies would choose a nice dark chocolate over milk chocolate any day. For me, though, it's all about the milk chocolate. I don't like bittersweet chocolate at all and while I will eat semisweet, it's definitely not my chocolate of choice. I blame my sweet tooth for my love of milk chocolate - for me, the sweeter the better! In any event, I was psyched about this week's selection as it's rare that recipes actually call for milk chocolate, much less let it play a starring role!
This recipe was also fun because it let me use my mini-bundt pan, which is definitely one of the least used pans in my house, despite its cuteness. The recipe called for a swirl of nuts, cocoa powder and sugar in the center but since we don't like nuts here, I substituted peanut butter chips in the swirl of 4 of the cakes (for Shane) and mint chips in 2 of them (for me). The cakes are topped with a chocolate glaze, which caused problems for many of us this week. Mine was very clumpy and looked nothing at all like the gorgeous photo in the book, but after thinning it with a bit of hot water, it was usable. Next time I'll skip the glaze (which I did this time on my 2 cakes anyway) or make a chocolate ganache for Shane's cakes.
So, did the cakes live up to my high expectations? Sort of. I absolutely loved the flavor of the milk chocolate cakes with the mint chips in the swirl. Chocolate and mint is one of my favorite flavor combinations so not a huge surprise. The texture of the cakes was another story, though. They weren't dry, but were quite heavy and dense. I've gone over the recipe time and again in my head and can't figure out where I might have screwed it up. I also know I didn't overcook the cakes, so I'll be curious to read about the rest of the TWD bakers' experiences this week. I'll definitely make this one again and hopefully I can pick up some tips for improved texture next time. Thanks to Kristin for hosting this week's selection. You can find the recipe on her blog or on pages 188-189 of the book.

They sound fun with all your little additions, the guys here would go for those in a minute. Love the drizzle, I really need to work on drizzling...and knotting...and braiding. Your little cakes look lovely, and I agree, we need to drag those mini bundts out more often and use that pan! They are just so cute!

So cute! I wish I had a mini bundt pan.

Beautiful photos, T - what kind of camera are you using?? Love the chips in the second one, too! :)

I also love milk chocolate! The nuts were a fun addition (we like nuts). I read about the drizzle dilemma so I went with a yummy ganache. The texture was better the second day, maybe the ganache added moisture. I think it is a recipe worth playing with!

Milk chocolate and mint sounds delicious. I think that would have given these little cakes the boost they needed. I found mine a little dense and dry too and I don't think I over-baked them.

I love milk chocolate, too, but opt for dark a lot of the time because it is less fatty and has more antioxidants. Nuts are another food that is so healthy...I try to incorporate nuts wherever I can!! Peace, Stephanie

Cute little cakes! I love milk chocolate too, but only eaten out of hand. My minis were a bit dense/dry too...especially the second day. Nothing the microwave couldn't fix...
- February 2, 2010 at 3:05 PM
- Susan said...
As always, beautiful photos! Your minis look great! I would love the peanut butter chips and the hubby would like the mint.

I'm so glad you got to make a recipe that indulged your love of milk chocolate. They look tres adorable...enough that I'm eyeing a mini bundt pan on Amazon! I don't think you did anything wrong on this one. Really!
- February 2, 2010 at 4:00 PM
- Jeannette said...
Mine were heavy and dense as well. I'm so jealous of your mini bundt pan :) I was considering running out to grab one ;)
Your ganache doesn't look clumpy, but mine was troublesome too! I think its because you are mixing two different temperatures of liquid together and it slightly seizes up. maybe warm up the corn syrup a bit? Would that change the chemical balance, I have no idea but its maybe worth a shot. - February 2, 2010 at 4:07 PM
- Drick said...
so tiny ... maybe a mouthful - looks and sounds delicious
- February 2, 2010 at 4:16 PM
- pinkstripes said...
Too bad they didn't live up to your expectations texture-wise. They look great though! And I heart chocolate-mint.
- February 2, 2010 at 4:46 PM
- Bridget said...
Mine were pretty dense too. The pan I used was really thin, so I reduced the oven temperature, and I was blaming the density on that. Now, though, it sounds like that's just how the cake is. I'm not against heavy, but I am against dry.
- February 2, 2010 at 6:01 PM
- Heather B said...
I'm a big chocolate and mint fan too. I can't believe I didn't think of that sub! Great job on your bundts!

I don't have a mini bundt pan so I maybe doing the larger version. This really looks delicious! Thanks for this!

Aww these are super cute!
- February 2, 2010 at 8:56 PM
- Mary said...
Yup, mine were a bit dense too, but I made them in tiny ramekins, so not too bad. I covered them in caramel sauce, which made them yummy! Your photos are beautiful:)

- margot said...
Your mini Bundts are adorable, I'm glad you had an excuse to use your pan and make something with milk chocolate. The chips sound like a yummy addition!

I really wish I had read the P&Q on this one. My chocolate seized and I chucked it. Love the additions you made to yours! :)

Funny, but it looks perfect! You'd never know anything was clumpy! I was skeptical about the milk, but the flavor turned out great. Sorry it wasn't a hit with you - there's plenty more recipes to come! Looks fantastic Tracey!

Ciao ! they look so beautiful !! I'm sorry you didn't like it !

- Engineer Baker said...
Mine were super dense too, but I actually liked that. I'm not a cakey dessert sorta gal :) And while I'm not a fan of chocolate + mint, the chocolate / peanut butter combo sounds fantastic...
- February 3, 2010 at 8:26 AM
- Teanna said...
Your cakes are so gorgeous, Tracey. I am loving your photos! My cake was dry, too. I think many of us had that experience!
- February 3, 2010 at 9:34 AM
- Mary Ann said...
Your pictures are gorgeous! Too bad you didn't love the texture. They really look so good.
I love the mint chip idea. That would have been delish. - February 3, 2010 at 8:47 PM
- Pamela said...
What gorgeous photos, Tracey! I think I might say that you to you every week, but it's so true! Mint was a great idea for these. Too bad they weren't what we were hoping for.

Im not sure what happened to my little breads..so dry. YOurs look great..sorry they weren't a favorite!

Ooh, the mint sounds great and your cakes look like they turned out perfect. Love the unglazed mint one!

- Carol Peterman said...
Your glaze looks so pretty, mine was so thick I just spread it on with a spatula. I assumed I over baked mine, and I think I actually did, but it's good to know that even not over baked the texture was heavy and crumbly.
- February 4, 2010 at 1:06 AM
- Clivia said...
I made a large bundt and it was also dense. I thought I'd overcooked it. It was better the second day, but by the third it was dry and needed ice cream.
Your photos are wonderful! - February 4, 2010 at 7:26 AM
- Steph said...
I'm not the hugest fan of milk chocolate.. it's all about the semisweet for me!
I guess it's not such a bad thing that I skipped out since I'm not such a big fan of dense cakes. Maybe the denseness comes from so little granulated sugar because it had to be reduced to compensate for all the milk chocoalte and there was less air whipped in the butter? That's just one of my crazy guesses....hahha - February 5, 2010 at 2:51 PM

Pull File – June 20 2012
Good evening Gothamites! It's new comic day again, and I'm so sorry I haven't been writing here very often lately! There was so much to say about Batman 10 and some other great recent books, but the Bat-dress construction has been taking every moment I can spare and there's just no time left for talking about comics. I'm officially gearing up for Comic-Con, and if anyone who reads this wants to say hi in San Diego leave me a comment! Here's what I'm reading tonight:
Batwoman 10 - As always, I feel like I should go back and read the whole series together to really get what's going on. Hopefully today we'll see the story overtake the style and actually have some compelling (or memorable?) plot points, but I'm not holding my breath. In any case, the visual art is an important part of comic books, and the art in Batwoman has been really great so I'm still reading it.
Catwoman 10 - Catwoman gets angry at someone who kidnaps children, and the solicit hints at her relationship with Spark becoming a bit more than their current casual crime-fighting setup. This is one of those books that I read sort of despite itself, I've never been that pleased with it but it seems weird to just give up entirely. When do you decide to stop reading a comic?
Nightwing 10 – Did we ever get to the bottom of this mystery with Haly's Circus and why Mr. Haly left the circus to Dick in his will? Did that turn out to be a Court of Owls thing or am I totally confused and it hasn't been resolved at all? Apparently I need someone to read comics for me and explain them … Today Nightwing investigates a murder that involves a part of his costume as evidence, so that should be exciting!
Red Hood and the Outlaws 10 – The official description tells us "RED HOOD learns that STARFIRE is one of the most respected and feared commanders in all of space! Who knew?" – really, this just feels condescending to me. Who cares what Red Hood knows about Starfire, he should respect and fear her anyways based on all the recent ways she's saved his life and been awesome. It reminds me of that time when the sparkle-vamp told Adele she could be great some day… she was already kicking ass and taking names, though she's dressed better than Starfire. Anyways, it should be great to see Starfire get to command some troops and show Red Hood and Arsenal what she's capable of.
Birds of Prey 10 – Still getting to know these women, but I'm really interested in Black Canary lately. Poison Ivy is injured and the Birds take her to the Amazon jungle to heal, but do they trust her allegiance yet? I sure don't! I saw a preview of Birds of Prey where Starling meets Batman, it was pretty funny, but I'm not sure if it was from this issue or another one coming soon; hopefully it's this issue,otherwise I may not get any actual Batman this week! Here's the cover, by Travel Foreman and Gabe Eltaeb, I really enjoy the colour in their costumes and especially how Batgirl is drawn:

01-09-2011, 01:35 PM #8You can reset that onboard mpg any time you want if you want to see how you do on the highway or in city exclusively. I have been resetting it when I go on a long highway drive.
I am getting 20+ mpg on the highway 65mph and a little over 15+ in mixed driving which is around town with city and highway.
Overall I am getting over 15 which isn't too bad and that 20+ highway is nice. LOL HOPE the onboard is accurate!!!!
I do drive slow and I am easy on the gas pedal and I like to coast a lot so maybe the way I drive is actually getting me those numbers #'s and the onboard pc is accurate. I will find out when I do my calculations.
This is according to the onboard pc.
I am going to start doing my own calculations as soon as I refill the tank with gas.
Also how are you liking your Express AWD???? I had my Savana out in some deep snow up at Tahoe on an unplowed road (2+ feet deep with hacked up snow ruts) the other day. It chewed right through with the BFG's. Real nice.

Over 125 Tips On The Future Of Digital Marketing
For our 8th Koozchat, 24 people got together to discuss the future of Digital Marketing. We covered SEO, Content Marketing, Paid Search and Social Media with lots of interesting views on the challenges 2014 will bring. You can find all of the responses below.
The Importance Of Comments And How To Get More Of Them
How do you measure the success of your content marketing or blog? Page views, rankings, earned links, conversions, sales or other? Whatever metric you decide to use, it needs to be related to the overall goal of the piece.
With that in mind, have you ever considered comments as a way of measuring the success of your content?
3 Great Ways To Get Reviews Ethically And Safely
The battle for online visibility is relentless. You need allies, advocates and supporters. The good news is if you run a business online, those allies and supporters are already out there. But how can you show their feedback to the rest of the world? Even just trying to get reviews can be tricky and fraught with issues. How can you get them without begging, bribery or attracting untoward hatred?
This is a question I often get asked by clients, and so I thought I'd share some information about Bing and why you should definitely consider Bing advertising as a great opportunity within your biddable media strategy. We'll look at what makes it different to AdWords and why it can compliment your existing online marketing.
Actionable Tips To Get More People To Open Your Marketing Emails
In this day and age your potential customers spend their days being bombarded by marketing message after marketing message; sources reckon 3,000-30,000 per day in fact, many of these in the form of email. The average UK email user may receive 416 commercial emails per month!
How To Compete In A Competitive Online Sector
It's the first big stumbling block for every excited entrepreneur and SME: how do you compete with a large multinational spending millions on SEO and Advertising. Internet success stories have led to many major organisations investing in online activity meaning achieving success has become more difficult but is still achievable.
Ecommerce Sites: Pet Peeves and How to Fix Them
Shopping online – I love it. Be it for therapy, for fun or for gifts, it's faster and cheaper than traipsing through towns and shopping centres. But it's not without annoyances – in this post, I'm going to talk about what gets my goat when shopping online and how ecommerce sites can help their customers get to the checkout.
At Koozai we love SEO and PPC and have been using both channels on a mixture of clients for over eight years, yet we're often asked which is better. With SEO and PPC sometimes seen as natural enemies we thought it would be helpful to pit the two against each other and see which is right for different scenarios.

Three years ago, Beyonce performed Etta James' "At Last" for a newly elected President Obama and First Lady Michelle as they had their first dance at an inaugural ball.
Now, as he prepares to enter his second term, another round of inauguration events are on the horizon -- and the president's still mulling over the right song.
He told Ryan Seacrest as much on Tuesday, when the radio and TV personality asked whether Obama had a song picked out, should he win the election.
"Now that's a touch choice, and I think I'll have to consult with my wife," Obama said. "Whatever it is, it's got to be a slow song so that I can put my moves on Michelle. Something a little romantic, you know?"
Perhaps revealing a little more than Seacrest's audience really wanted to know, he added, "I haven't seen her a lot lately. I've been on the road too much."

MDK 2 gets WiiWare release
BioWare wasn't always famous only for Baldurs Gate or Mass Effect: it had also developed the sequel to one of the greatest third-person shooters in gaming history – MDK.

Nintendo pulls plug on WiiWare demo "experiment," now "deciding next steps"
Now you see them. Now you don't. Like an expert magician, Nintendo waved its wand and – poof – WiiWare's game demo service disappeared.
It's a neat trick, yeah. But will the bite-sized freebies be reappearing any time soon?

Phoenix Wright landing on WiiWare in January
Looks like – for the time being – Phoenix Wright has flown the DS' coop. Starting in January, three of his finger-pointing-est adventures are getting the thumbs up from Nintendo to appear on WiiWare.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney's taking the stand in January, with Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations coming in March and May, respectively. They're going for 1,000 Wii Points a piece.
"Rise from the Ashes," a bonus case added to the DS version of Ace Attourney, will also drop in May, for a mere 100 Wii Points.
Be warned, though: these are ports of the quick and dirty variety. Same graphics, same sound effects – even a constrained 4:3 resolution! You can flail the Wii-Mote like a complete loon when you're objecting, though, and that's certainly worth the full price of admission in our books.
Check out a few screens over at Joystiq.

Weekly Nintendo releases – Monkey Island: Chapter 2, Phantasy Star, Puzzle League Express
After last week's desert-dry game selection, this week is like emerging into a sparkling, thirst-slaking oasis. Three games? That was the old Nintendo. Now though, things are different.
Wii-bound this week are Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2, Phantasy Star, and 3-2-1, Rattle Battle. Meanwhile, the DSi's nabbing Puzzle League Express.
Full details on all four (!) games are after the break.

Nintendo weekly releases – Pop + Solo, Mr. Driller W, Super Empire Strikes Back
Own a Wii and/or DSi? Like downloading stuff? Well then, this one might be a little hard for you to choke down. See, while other weeks have given you a crop of four, five — maybe even six — sparkly new games to download, this week's a barren wasteland with only three.
Oh, wait! Is that another game we just saw?
Nope. Just a tumbleweed. Our fragile hearts are shattered.
So, if you haven't gone mad with grief and done something crazy like buy an Xbox or PS3, this week's selection is composed of Pop + Solo, Mr. Driller W, and Super Empire Strikes back.
Full details on each game are after the break.

Meet the new Earthworm Jim, same as the old Earthworm Jim
Yesterday's announcement that Gameloft had picked up the rights to give your Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii a case of the worms wasn't exactly clear on what form said creepy-but-not-crawly would take. Would it be a new game, or would it be a port of a classic earthworm escapade? G4 asked Gameloft, and promptly received an answer.
"A Gameloft representative has confirmed to me it's a remake of the 1994 original game released on Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, not a new game," reads G4′s post.
So that's that.

Nintendo weekly releases – Revenge of Shinobi, Guitar Rock Tour, Family Slot Car Racing
As per usual, Nintendo has lit the fuse on another week with a new batch of downloadable games. We, of course, are telling you about them, thus making sure the natural order doesn't fall into chaos.
This week brings PictureBook Games: Pop-Up Pursuit, Family Slot Car Racing, and Revenge of the Shinobi to the Wii, while Brain Age Express: Sudoku and Guitar Rock Tour round out the DSi's lineup.
Ninjas, guitars, and slot cars? In the same week? This has to be some kind of good omen.
Full descriptions of each game are after the break.

Nintendo weekly releases – Super Star Wars, Nyx Quest, Rock 'n' Roll Climber
This week's spat of Nintendo downloads has something for everyone, even Star Wars-loving, Brain Age-devouring, rock-climbing aficionados. Finally, Nintendo's reached out to that notoriously vocal demographic.
On the Virtual Console, you'll find 2D beat-you-up Super Star Wars, while a plentiful WiiWare harvest has brought forth both Rock 'n' Roll Climber and Nyx Quest: Kindred Spirits. You may remember Nyx Quest as that Kid Icarus-ish title that was forced to change its name.
There's also an artsy take on Brain Age, if you're into that kind of thing.
Full details on each game are after the break.

Nintendo weekly releases – Tales of Monkey Island, Three Musketeers, Sudoku
It's the beginning of a new week, and you know what that means– wait! Come back! Cardgame collections and family friendly fare aren't all you're getting this week.
Oh sure, for you bloodless, fully clothed families of cardsharks, this week's update brings an E-rated Three Musketeers swashbuckler, HB Arcade Cards, and Sudoku Student on the DSi. But there's also Monkey Island!
Full info on each game is after the break.

Nintendo weekly releases — Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Battle Poker, 5 Spots Party
Nintendo's put out its list of downloads for the week, with this week's obvious standout being Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord.
There's also Battle Poker, which — sadly — puts a heavy emphasis on the poker, and not the battling. 5 Spots Party rounds out the Wii's portion of the line-up, and Art Style: Zengage (uh, yeah) serves as the sole DSiWare representative for the week.
The Virtual Console, meanwhile, is hiding its head in shame over a release-free week.
Full details on each game are after the break.

GDC: Rock and Roll Climber to rock the faces of rockfaces
During today's Nintendo GDC keynote, Satoru Iwata demonstrated a title called Rock and Roll Climber for WiiWare.
Apparently, it allows players to defy virtual gravity by scaling rockfaces using the Wii Balance Board in conjunction with the Wii-mote and Nunchuck.
Then, when you reach the top of your craggy adversary, you're given the ability to spit in gravity's face with a rockin' guitar jam session. Space travel doesn't have anything on this.
We can't wait until the inevitable volcano level. Guitars, rockfaces, and hot lava. Sign us up.

SOURCE Atlantic Container Line
WESTFIELD, N.J., Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The official steel cutting ceremony took place this week in Shanghai for Atlantic Container Line's five, G4 (Generation 4) RORO/Containerships, marking the start of actual construction. Since signing a contract with ACL in July 2012 for the construction of these vessels, Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (HZS) has been busy with the detailed design work and tank testing. ACL's President & CEO, Andrew J. Abbott and Henrik Karle, (Vice-President of Marine Operations) participated in the event together with Grimaldi Group's, Paolo Satariano (Grimaldi Corporate Technical Director) and Pierluigi Marmo (Grimaldi Group New Buildings Project Manager) at Hudong Zhonghua's new ship construction facility on Chungxing Island near Shanghai. "We are excited to celebrate this milestone for our first G4 CONRO (Container/Roll-on Roll-off). After five years of planning, this is the first step of the construction. ACL and our Parent Company, the Grimaldi Group of Naples, Italy, look forward to the progress in the upcoming months," said Andrew J. Abbott. "We are most happy that construction of our ships will take place at Hudong Zhonghua's newest shipyard, where they employ the latest technology." ACL has appointed Registro Italiano Navale (RINA Services S.p.A.) and the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to provide statutory classification services for the G4 ship construction which provides periodic survey activities, certification, testing and inspection during the vessel's assembly. ABS will also be the site manager, overseeing construction activities and ensuring quality control on behalf of ACL. ACL's new G4 vessels will be the first of their type ever built. They will be bigger, faster, greener and more efficient than their predecessors. They will have a container capacity of 3800 TEUs plus 28,900 square meters of RORO space, with a car capacity of 1,307 vehicles. Speed will be increased by 10%, yet fuel consumption per TEU will be reduced by 50%. All five vessels will be delivered in 2015, with the first to be delivered at the end of January 2015. For photos and more information about the progress of ACL's G4 vessel, please visit Atlantic Container Line's website at http://www.aclcargo.com.
ABOUT ACL: Since 1967, ACL has been a specialized transatlantic carrier of containers, project and oversized cargo, heavy equipment and vehicles with the world's largest combination RORO/Containerships. Headquartered in Westfield, New Jersey, ACL has offices throughout Europe and North America.

5 ways math creeps into the life of a young PR pro
By Caitlin Mooney |
Posted: July 13, 2012
Andy Cohen
said it best in his new book "
Most Talkative
": "My brain has a tendency to go blank when I see an Excel spreadsheet."
I'll never forget the horrified look on my math teacher's face when I jumped up and down in his classroom after he told me I got a 66 on the Math B NYS Regents exam. To him, that was a terrible grade. But to me, I was done. I passed. I earned my advanced regents diploma. Check.
It's not that I can't do math. It's just that I have no interest in it. Numbers don't speak to me like words do. I'm an excellent example of the stereotype that your brain is either wired for math and sciences, or language and arts. I had to take only one math class to fulfill my bachelor's degree, and upon graduation I thought I'd never have to solve math problems again.
Unfortunately, as a communications professional, I have not escaped the grips of math.
In entry-level positions, especially at small agencies, you're something of a glorified intern in the sense that you're expected to be do everything, to be a jack of all trades. As a result, you end up learning the ins and outs of the agency and a little bit about everyone's job.
While you may be done with the Pythagorean Theorem and graphing calculators, here are five ways math may creep into your life again:
1. Grad school
If you decide to go to graduate school, you'll probably have to take the GRE. It's like taking the SAT all over again except you can't use a calculator on the math section (at least you couldn't in 2009). I had to reteach myself how to do long division.
2. Accounting
It's important to review client budgets and estimates to keep the agency on track for all projects and campaigns. I've also learned how to complete payables and general ledgers.
3. Media buying
Remember that fun equation GRP = reach x frequency? Learn to love it. Also learn how to solve for the CPM, CPP, CPC, CTR, and analyze all of those numbers in an Excel spreadsheet. (Are your eyes glazed over yet?)
4. Living on a budget
If you're in an entry-level position in the communications field, chances are you'll be living on a budget.
To keep yourself organized, you may want to create a spreadsheet to help you figure out if you can afford to visit your friend who moved to D.C. or buy tickets to a concert in New York. Let's call that fund "x." Now you need to factor in your monthly expenses: x= paycheck – (rent + groceries + student loans + car payment + health insurance + happy hour). Why didn't we learn that helpful equation in math class?
5. Timesheets
OK, so this isn't too difficult, but it's an adjustment to think about your day numerically and keep track of what you're doing down to one-fourth of an hour.

My honey proposed with this ring , (I picked it out) and it is AMAZING!!! I have bigger hands and it looks so beautiful! I get compliments from strangers everyday! I have showered in it and done dishes in it and it still looks as sparkly as the day he gave it to me. Also someone commented on how it appraised for double what they paid for it and guess what, mine did too. I took mine in to be sized and the guy knew it came from Overstock so he said just looking at it he would have guessed somewhere in the ballpark of 2200... yeah! Thank you Overstock. Guys if you are planning on getting this ring hesitate no longer, it is worth every penny and then some. Also I had all the prongs checked and not one was loose. Great buy!
I had been looking for the perfect bridal set for myself, (LOL) and I just couldn't decide. I had been seeing a ring very similar to this one, but the pricing was kind of up there. I received an email from this site and decided to log in. I started looking and there it was. I couldn't believe it. I took a picture of it and sent it to my fiance' and asked what did he think. He replied YES! So, without reservation, I ordered it. He texted and told me that was the exact ring he had been looking at. On Valentine's Day, he delivered some roses to me and while he was there, the ring was delivered. What a coincidence! I was excited and so was he! I LOVE IT!!!!
I was looking for a ring that had a low profile without sacrificing quality, as my fiancee works with her hands a lot. This ring is nearly perfect; the diamonds appear to be of fair quality, the three pieces fit together well and it never snags. Her only complaint is that when she forgets to take off her ring when she is cooking, the ridges on either side of the ring gather any soft material; though I imagine this would happen with any if not most rings.
This ring is the replacement for the CZ rings we had when we got married. I love the look of the ring and it looks so much better on my hand than the picture can represent.
I searched high and low for a wedding ring for my now wife. She wasn't the traditional solitaire type of girl. She's more about the sparkle and bling so I needed something that would wow her! Local jewelry stores just didn't have what I wanted. Similar rings in the brick and mortar stores where 2x-4x more price wise. Overstock always advertised jewelry so I started searching the site. This ring has a low profile and lots of diamonds. The ring when combined as a whole set is wide so make sure your lady has fingers that can accommodate it. Small dainty fingers might not find this ring comfortable to wear. I highly recommend if you buy this ring you have the set soldered together. The three pieces tend to move around. Soldered they are beautiful! You can't go wrong with this wrong. Price wise it is 10+ value for what you get. Don't let the lower rated diamond quality foul you, there are so many and the white gold sets them off so well, diamond quality is not an issue.
As everyone said the ring is not done justice by picture. It sparkles and shines. I originally bought the 2 ring set of this. Although it was beautiful. I felt the extra ring encasing made my thick finger a little more glitter. I was so right. I love it my fiance loves it. I love the shopping assistant feature they helped me find a matching band for my fiance. I also purchased the protection plan so far so good!
I took it to a jeweler in order to have it soldered together after reading the reviews and the jeweler could not believe that I purchased it on Overstock....they all thought it was beautiful....and when tested all stones were in fact diamonds. A big winner!
This ring is beautiful to say the least. My fianc� absolutely loves it! It has a very unique look to it, which is what I was looking for. All three rings fit together perfectly and look stunning under any type of light. I looked at many other rings, some with up to almost double the total carat size, and this ring still blows them away!!
excellent,love it could a little bit wider but still love it..
im so in love with this ring i've been stalking this ring for months on in and i finally got today!!! and i must say that it's so beautiful and blingged out it's everyting i thought it would be. my wedding is three months away and my first intial ring wasn't cutting it for me. Im very happy with this ring it's perfect thanks to overstock for real cause my big day will be very speacial..

Property Brothers: 1. Record program on DVR 2. Watch introductions 3. Fast forward through "dream home psych segment" 4. Watch fixer upper tours, watch for hints as to which home they've already purchased. 5. Watch presentation of reno plans and the house they chose.... pat self on back if you had guessed right. 6. Fast forward through fake negotiations reenactment. 7. Watch renovation process.... fast forward through scenes of new homeowners ineptly trying their hand at demolition. 8. Watch reveal. | |||
House Hunters: 1. Check listings to see if it's a repeat. If it is, evaluate if it is really worth your time before proceeding. 2. Record on DVR. 3. Fast forward through all commercials. Fast forward through "coming up next" segments. (usually just before commercials) Fast forward through recap segments (usually right after commercials) 4. Watch home tours and keep an eye out for clues as to which house they've already purchased. 5. Make show more entertaining with drinking game (or M&M game, if you are not a drinker) and take a drink (or M&M) every time someone mentions space for their shoes, wanting granite counter tops, or making a joke about the outdated wallpaper (etc). 6. Watch (drumroll please) announcement of which house they chose and pat self on back if correct. 7. Watch the "later" portion that shows the house hunters now settled and marvel at the fantastic changes they made. | ||||
TQ, I think you have THE plan. Although I am not sure I could watch even that much Property Brothers. | ||||
Hahaha. This is a funny thread. This is how I watch Property Brothers. 1. Watch dream home psych segment 2. Watch reveal This is how I watch House Hunters 1. Check listings to see if it's a repeat. If it is, evaluate if it is really worth your time before proceeding. In my case, are the houses luxurious and have high end finishes? 2. If I watch the house tours, roll my eyes every time the homebuyers stress how the size of "insert-common-area-of-house-here" is insufficient for all they so-called entertaining they are going to be doing. 2b. Feel the need to kick a puppy every time they insist on how a kitchen is unusable if it doesn't have granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, ESPECIALLY if said homebuyer then shamelessly admits that they don't or can't cook...and I LOVE puppies... 3. Watch (drumroll please) announcement of which house they chose. 4. Watch the "later" portion that shows the house hunters now settled and marvel at the fantastic changes they made. How I watch Love It or List It 1. Tune in to HGTV at 10:00:01pm on Monday nightsThis message has been edited. Last edited by: FalleavesMD, | ||||
Love it or List It: 1. Record to watch later 2. Watch introduction, mute during back and forth insulting pander between hosts 3. Fast forward during commercials, as well as the "coming up next" previews before the commercial break and the review just after the commercials. 4. Watch portion where the couple reveals wish list. Predict which "must have" Hilary will have to drop when the budget is too tight. Predict the compromise David will have to make. 5. Watch tour of house, predict what "unexpected budget buster" will come up. 5. Watch remaining show with remote in hand. Fast forward through the first two homes David shows the couple (they won't like them anyway). When the couple "returns to check progress" make a note of what they are wearing.... as this is the same thing they are wearing for all the house hunting tours and all the "check in visits" 6. Mute television whenever the couple is privately complaining "away from the camera" 7. Watch for telltale signs of bad acting. 8. Watch David's final home tour. Marvel at how the couple's attitude has changed. (ok- that last part was sarcastic) 9. Continue fast forwarding through, but watch in fast forward, stopping only if there is something in the renovation that looks interesting to you. 10. Watch reveal, look for bad acting cues as to what they will decide. Or.... just watch the reveal.... or just don't watch it at all. | ||||
Income Property: 1. Record or watch with a DVR for the convenience of pausing, fast forwarding, or skipping back. 2. Watch the introduction, zone out watching Scott and thinking about how handsome he looks today.... hit the button to skip back and try to pay attention to the property this time. 3. Marvel at how little mortgage payments are in Canada. Compare the $1800/month payment they are making on their $400K mortgage to your own $1800/month payment on your $250K house and try to calculate how much they had to put down to get their mortgage that low. Marvel at how much they must be making..... skip back to re-watch what just happened while you were number crunching 4. Fast forward through commercials. 5. Predict what unexpected problems the demolition will reveal. 6. Admire Scott's muscle tone. 7. Watch the tradesmen install drywall, tile bathrooms, etc. 8. Watch the reveal, thinking about how talented Scott is.... try to remember he has a designer to help him, so it isn't all him. 9. Pause to read the final results on how much they are getting for rent- and do more number crunching.... "Just how much could I get if I made an apartment in my basement???" | ||||
Awwww....don't pick on Income Property . It's one of the few shows I enjoy on HGTV. I do tape it and fast forward through the commercials but I enjoy every part of his show and it's not just because he's a cutie!! The designer he works with often uses abstract art in the reveal and since I've recently tried my hand at abstract art, it's another element of his show I love to see to be inspired for my own paintings. Now the other shows you mentioned -- well, they can all be cancelled as far as I'm concerned. | ||||
I'm laughing with this thread. I have to add to the House Hunters section: 2.a. If the couple looking for a home are annoying, immediately delete episode. Life's too short to watch narcissistic attention seekers do anything. | ||||
Design Star: 1. Record show to watch later.... If you just can't wait to find out who is going home next, record and watch on a 15 minute delay so you can skip annoying parts but still hit the elimination at the end of the show. 2. Fast forward through the opening credits and that annoying "I'm gonna be a staaaaarrrr...." jingle. It will put you in a much better mood for the rest of the show. 3. Fast forward through the scenes as everyone is eating breakfast, getting ready, talking about the last challenge, etc. Start watching when they actually arrive at the location of the next challenge and watch what that challenge is. 4. Watch as the challenge proceeds, but do mini-skip fast forwards over any of the scenes where the contestants are talking about how the really have to nail this challenge, how they are unhappy with who they are partnered with, etc. Also, do any mini-skips where the contestants are obviously arguing or behaving in an embarrassing way. 5. Use the pause button as they are shopping, paying attention to things in the store that they may not even be noticing... but that you might want to use in your own home decor. Make a mental note of where they are shopping (if you have the budget to make this work) 6. Mute the commercials (or fast forward through them). If you do use the mute option, use the commercial time to consider what you might do if you had been given that challenge. 7. Watch the camera challenge, but with the remote handy.... just in case the presentations are too painful to watch. You can mute or fast forward through them. 8. Roll your eyes as the contestants gush about the guest judge. 9. Ask yourself.... "WHAT is he (or she) wearing???" when the judging panel shows up. (it seems at least one of them is always wearing something rather strange) 10. Watch the elimination.... fast forward through the part where the contestants are waiting to be called back... fast forward through any "under the bus" exchanges. 11. Predict who you think should go home- and who the judges will probably send home (not always the same thing). Mute during the final commercial break and discuss with anyone else in the room. 12. Cheer or yell at the judges- depending on your level of agreement- and go right to the message boards to discuss with other. | ||||
Are you sure I didn't post this? That is EXACTLY what I do...and I go for the M&M's instead of the drinking. Not that I mind the latter, but the M&Ms are CHOCOLATE and NOTHING beats chocolate in my book! I also usually just wanted the last 10 minutes of NEW Love It Or List It episodes but since I saw most of those episodes on OWN before it moved over to HGTV, I rarely have any "new" episodes to watch. I actually watch ALL of Income Property (though sometimes I do fast forward through SOME of the demo process). Design Star...fast forward through a lot of the drama too. Thanks to my DVR, I can watch about 3 hours of shows in less than an hour!This message has been edited.

Agree, agree agree.... except I do not own DVR and have no desire to have one. Sooooo, since I am so low tech, whereever you have fast forward, insert "read book". I'm reading a lot more books these days | ||||
Amen! I don't have a DVR either - or subscribe to those nifty services where you can watch whenever you want to, so if I don't see it when it's shown I don't see it. And, since so much is NOT worth seeing I, too, choose to read. Even if I'm watching HGTV I generally have a book open or am on the computer at the same time. | ||||
Good for you, metwo! I hear people complain about how lousy HGTV is because they seem to tune into one channel (HGTV) and leave it on forever, and I keep asking, "why don't they just read a book?" Since they're commenting here, I know they're literate. Glad to know people still recognize books as an entertainment medium. TQ, good post. I have a DVR box and watch 95% of my non-sports TV and what passes for "news" these days via recording. The fast forward button is my friend. | ||||
This message board is one of my entertainment media. | ||||
So we don't watch commercials, is it any wonder HGTV won't listen to us. I watch exactly the same way. | ||||
| ||||
I believe that tomatoqueen really hit it out of the park. Personally, I don't own or rent a DVR mostly, because I don't think that there is a show that would guarant me taping for a later time, I just simply wait for the repeats. I will agree that coming to this Message Board is by far much more entertaining that anything that HGTV has to offer. I know only see Sat mornings and I guess that they mostly have DYI shows.This message has been edited. Last edited by: rker321, | ||||
I've decided the best way to watch any of the latest batch of selling shows is to watch another channel. Selling New York Selling L.A. Selling London Born to Sell yawn. I know there are a lot of viewers who like these shows- and they really don't mind the real estate trend with HGTV. But I am not one of them, nor will I ever be. | ||||
House Hunters International: 1. Check listings to see if it is a part of the world that interests me. 2. Set the DVR. 3. Watch the beginning. If it is someone spending twice my home's value for a vacation home, stop and delete recording. 4. If it still interests me, watch with remote in hand. mute or fast forward through annoying parts and/or commercials. | ||||
This thread is funny, but really a good idea! Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford | ||||
Turn to the HGTV channel If Holmes on Homes is on again, turn it off. | ||||
I am sorry that you don't like Holmes, I guess we all have our own taste, and I respect that. I find Holmes extremely interesting because it shows that first, any homeonwer that does anything to their home and does not go for permits is a fool. Then, he does a good job at what he does, this is not a designer's job, to me, it belongs more on DYI than on HGTV. but as an educational program, I do believe that he has done a lot of good by showing us, what could go wrong when renovating. | ||||
Just learned that DDD, aka, Donna Da-Bings Dallas is coming back for a second season! OMG, I don't know if I should cry or laugh over this? So How to Watch DDD Either A)... don't bother, but then you will miss out on all the lively conversations on these boards! or B) as follows... 1) Set your DVR to record 2) Get a VERY large bag of M&M's 3) Skip the fluffy intro stuff touting how wonderful she is 4) Watch to see which friend or family member she has cornered to re-do their McMansion 5) Admire the decor of the room Donna is about to ruin, or the lovely blank canvas that has so many possibilities 6) Don't fast forward thru the commericals, cause this is likely the best part of program! 7) Eat an M&M for every cheap rinestone she hot glues on something (now you see why you need such a large bag?) 8) If Donna decides to climb a ladder in 4 inch spiked heels eat a handful of M&M's 9) Go for another handful every time Donna (or anyone for that matter) uses the word "BLING" 10) Watch reveal and be thankful Donna is NOT your friend or relative! 11) Hop on the boards and enjoy the Donna bashing! Belle | ||||
Oh my! To think I have lost out in the past on this opportunity to indulge in one of my favorite treats (M&Ms! NOT DDD)! Hmmm -- may have to re-think the never-bothering-to-watch-this-show attitude I have held on to since they first announced the show! But that's just my 2 cents! ~Gail~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To quote a very wise person.... "There is a cover for every pot & a homebuyer for every home!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||
You've almost made me want to watch this show just to see what kind of disaster Donna is. Very funny. | ||||
NOW I know why I am not enjoying these HGTV shows anymore. I need a huge bag of M&M's to ease the pain. Excuse me while I go write them on my grocery list. | ||||
Income Property: record, fast forward, all jump up to do the "Scott Dance" pretending to move walls, watch reno, get ice cream, watch reveal. Candace Tells All: record, watch intro long enough to realize they only actually filmed four episodes and we've seen this one 6 x's, erase. Sarah's House: record, skip intro, realize it's a repeat, watch anyway, laugh, and catch some good details that we've previously missed. Mom Caves: can't find remote fast enough, shoot T.V. Elvis style with a small hand gun, go shopping for yet another T.V. | ||||
Finally a post that will save me time on this show. It bugs me that Scott NEVER has a show where he doesn't find some problem. Similar to Hillary on "Love It or List It" except Scott is so easy on the eyes. Look for episodes where he demos in sleeveless shirt. | ||||
you gotta admit in addition to his abilities Holmes is kind of sexy in his overall with no shirt. :-) | ||||
too funny, my entertainment tonite was the message board here LMAO can't eat m&m's on a diet,but had a few skinny girl cocktails LOLThis message has been edited. Last edited by: CC-IMO, | ||||

Bullpen costs Phillies again in 6-4 loss to Dodgers
LOS ANGELES – Charlie Manuel had seen Hanley Ramirez enough that he wasn't going to let the Marlin-turned-Dodger beat him.
With runners on second and third and one out, Manuel had Justin De Fratus walk Ramirez. De Fratus responded by striking out Skip Schumaker on three pitches, moving one out away from escaping the seventh inning unscathed.
But up stepped Yasiel Puig, the Cuban export who has put together a month of June that rivals Domonic Brown's month of May.
Manuel had never seen Puig. And he didn't have anywhere to put him, either.
The Southern California-born and bred De Fratus sneaked two sliders by Puig to begin the at-bat. But even that wasn't enough to bury the latest in a long line of Los Angeles Dodgers rookie sensations.
De Fratus heaved a third straight slider at Puig and the righthanded-hitting Rookie of the year candidate ripped the pitch through the left side of the infield to bring home both the game-tying and game-winning runs as the Phils fell to the Dodgers 6-4.
"I couldn't believe he hit it, to be honest," De Fratus said of the low and outside, 0-2 pitch. "I didn't think I threw a bad pitch. But it wasn't where I was trying to get it and it burned me."
The 22-year-old Puig, who made his major league debut three weeks ago, is hitting .427 with seven home runs and 16 RBI in his first 23 games.
Puig may not have had a chance to bat, however, if Ryan Howard was able to field a bunt cleanly earlier in the inning. After De Fratus walked A.J. Ellis to begin the seventh, Juan Uribe attempted to sacrifice the lead runner to second with a bunt.
But both Dodgers base runners were safe when Howard lost his footing and fell to the ground while attempting to make a play on the ball.
"I slipped," Howard said. "I cost my team the game. Of all the plays, the plays you make nine times out of 10, you slip."
Howard was especially hard on himself after a second straight tough game. A night after going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts in the Phillies 13-ining win in San Diego, Howard was hitless in four a-bats at Dodgers Stadium and grounded into a rally-killing double play in the fifth.
After the Phils scored two runs to tie the game in the inning, Zack Greinke fell behind Howard 3-0 with runners on first and second. Howard swung at the fourth pitch of the at-bat and weakly hit it back to Greinke.
"It's kind of automatic," manager Charlie Manuel said of Howard's green light. "He's been hitting 3-0 ever since he was in Double-A. But we also want him getting a good ball to hit. … He's earned the right over the years. He's got to do a better job of it, though."
Howard agreed.
"I have a green light – I just had a bad swing," Howard said. "I had a bad swing. I saw the pitch. I just flew off of it. … Obviously it wasn't the greatest day. It wasn't the greatest night or game for me today. I take full responsibility for it. … It's sucks, man. It sucks."
The loss came on a night when the Phillies banged out 14 hits – Delmon Young went 4-for-4 and Chase Utley and Ben Revere had three hits apiece – and when their rookie pitcher bounced back from an uneasy start.
Jonathan Pettibone appeared to be in for a long and lousy night at the outset. He walked the game's first batter and the next four all smoked balls into every direction of the ballpark.
When Matt Kemp and Andre Ether hit back-to-back doubles, giving the Dodgers a 3-0 lead, the stadium jam-packed with 51,037 people shook. But Pettibone wasn't shaken; he retired the next two batters.
And then Pettibone took an even more impressive turn. After giving up a single to begin the second inning, he set down the final 15 batters he faced.
"He settled in," Manuel said. "He was doing pretty good. He took us to a good place in the game and gave us a chance to win it."
The Phils rewarded the rookie righthander by rallying back.
Domonic Brown hit his 21st home run of the season – and second in three nights – to begin the second inning. In the fifth, the Phils scored two more runs to tie it.
A half inning after Pettibone's work was deemed done at six innings, Chase Utley put the pitcher in position to win. Utley ripped a line-drive home run just over the right field fence off Greinke.
Puig, playing right field crashed violently into the wall on the play. By the time he came to his feet, Utley had already crossed the plate.
Puig was healthy enough to stay in the game, however. And he would put as big of an imprint on an 0-2 De Fratus slider as he did on the wall to decide the game.
"It's no secret that he covers a lot of the plate," DeFratus said of Puig, who was hitless in three at-bats before the seventh inning. "I'm not going to say what we have on him. That's for us to know and that's it. He's on fire right now. I gave him my best stuff and he beat me today."

Sock Ons
Sock Ons are the inventors of clever little baby accessories that make parenting a little easier.
Keeping socks on babies feet is no simple task. Little kick, tug at the toes and they're off!
Sock Ons are clever little things that keep those socks on. The garment is worn over the sock and 'locks' it into place with a patent pending design.
Sock Ons have been awarded the baby industries most coveted prize for innovation. Sock Ons are an ingenious and trendy solution to a very annoying problem and are quickly becoming a necessary item that no baby (or sane parent) can do without!
Sock Ons have been invented by a mum of five little boys who always lost their socks!
Sock ons are a simple yet highly effective solution to the problem of keeping socks on!
Resembling something like a 'sock jacket', Sock Ons slip on over the sock and 'locks' it into place. The design lies in the fact that if the sock is pulled from the toes, the sock gets locked into the hole around the heel, thus preventing it from slipping off.

Review: View disk space, manage mounted volumes with FreeSpace Tab for Mac
As a basic snapshot of available and used disk space, FreeSpace Tab for Mac works well and easily integrates into the Mac operating system.
Once initiated through the applications folder, FreeSpace Tab for Mac starts, but has no menu to speak of. The application installs a small icon on the Mac's top menu bar. Clicking on this brings up a drop-down listing of all available drives. A bar also visually represents the space used and what remains. This is clear and easy to read, and most Mac users will have no problem finding their way. Outside drives can also … Read more
