Hello to all of the lovely mamas out there! I have a Father's Day card idea over on Olive & Clyde today. Check it out!
Olive & Clyde – GET EXCITED
(First thing's first – HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!! <3)
Preface: This post was written Saturday evening and posted this morning. I'm not an alcoholic – I swear. Although a bloody mary does sound delish.
I've had a few beers. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I was thinking about the perfect way to announce my announcement (I blame the alcohol for that awkwardness) and I decided to just ramble and let my excitement speak for itself.
So, without further ado (I love that word) (also, I really love adding random thoughts via parentheses because it gives you guys a snapshot into the workings of my overactive brain) I'd like to introduce you to my newest baby, Olive & Clyde!
Way back in September, my business partner slash BFF slash evil-genius friend and I started talking about how we needed a creative outlet. We were feeling a bit down in the dumps about the balance of what we call HHB in our lives and our more creative sides, and we needed a new project.
We had so many one-liners in our bank of ideas that as we were talking about what to do next, starting a greeting card company seemed like the most obvious decision. Not only would we get to use our design and writing talents, but we could create something of our own, as well.
Our target audience is basically us. Which makes things pretty simple. If you're friends with us or can relate to the following things, you'll probably be a fan of our cards:
- You think the general public takes itself way, way too seriously.
- You want to throw up a little when you hear / find yourself using business phrases like "circle back" and "think outside the box."
- You have a healthy love of all things cheese and/or cookies (and really just food in general)
- You are lucky enough to have people in your life who get you and love you
- You obviously appreciate the humor in flatulence (I'm going to be totally honest here – the first time I typed that word spell check was like "No idea wtf you're trying to say")
- Deep down you know that love is what makes this world go round. Shitty people suck.
Do any of those sound like something you can relate to? We hope our cards can bring a smile to your face and a big ole laugh to your belly.
Here are a few of our bestsellers, just to give you a taste:
For your most lovable divorcée:
The inside reads: "Sorry he turned out to be a dick. I always liked you better anyway." Pretty straight forward. The bride's face says it all, really.
The inside reads: "Just another year that you have to keep all my secrets. Happy Birthday, sucker." Which is pretty fitting if your friends are anything like mine.
For your lover / significant other / best friend / partner-in-life:
The cover says it all. (Blank inside.) Also, stay tuned – this one is going to turn into an art print.
For anyone who enjoys a damn good piece of birthday cake:
The inside lovingly reads: "CAKE! ALL THE TIME! IN MY MOUTH! NOM NOM NOM NOM. Happy Birthday." I don't really know how much more I could want to eat this card.
For anyone that you love, who has maybe done something dumb, but you need to remind them that life goes on: (blank inside)
They're snarky. They're lovable. They're just like YOU! We have a card for every weirdo in your life.
Do us a solid (yes, I just said that) and visit our site:
Or better yet, our Etsy store:
I'm not even going to beg you to buy a card. I mean, please do (:: wink ::), but all I am going to ask of my loyal readers is that you help us spread the word. Share us, like us, follow us, pet us, feel us up, and do whatever the other inappropriate social-media verbs tell you to do.
Haley and I are incredibly excited for this new adventure and I'm so happy that after 8 months of planning I can finally share our big news.
And duh. You didn't think I was going to announce this huge launch and NOT give you guys a nifty coupon code to use, did you?
How does 15% OFF sound? I thought so.
For ONE WHOLE WEEK (starting today, May 20th, through Tuesday, May 27th) use the coupon code YOHARPSTERHOME to get 15% OFF.
Sigh. So, so happy. I hope you can feel the love.
Paint the Town White
You guys. I want to paint everything in my life white. I'm in this phase right now where I want everything clean and crisp. PAINT ALL THE THINGS WHITE!
I picked out a white paint color (Dover White by Sherwin Williams) for our trim and cabinets, but before committing 100% I wanted to give it a test run. I had this little kids table, which was a super cheap garage sale find, just BEGGING me for a nice white washing.
The — ahem — lovely colors didn't quite match my decor. Even though nothing really matches right now. (Our To-Do list is like 20 miles long.)
I didn't take pics of the painting process because it was tedious enough without having to stop and take pictures after every brush stroke. Have you ever painted furniture? It's a pain in the ass.
Here's an easy checklist to follow when painting furniture like this:
1. Sand. Sand so much you're covered in sawdust and can't feel your arms.
2. Don't skimp – use plenty of primer. This baby took three coats of primer to get a good coat.
3. Thin and even coats of paint. Another three coats of paint, on top of the primer, to get nice and even coverage.
4. Don't forget the finishing touch – use a clear water-based clear coat. Again, thin and even coats. I did two because that third one would've sent me over the edge.
To achieve the "dipped" look, once the paint was dry I taped off the legs and painted a few coats of gray (leftover wall paint from our old house). I did three coats and then stripped off the tape while the "dipped" paint was still wet.
It looks so much cuter now and no longer makes me want to bang my head against a wall. Also, I LOVE THE COLOR. It's the perfect white – not too yellow not too blue. This color passed my test with flying colors (no pun intended). It completely blows my mind that there are so many options when it comes to white paint. There needs to be, like, 4.
Now, just imagine that paneling behind the table is also white, and that the carpet is beautiful, wide-planked wood flooring.
We have so much to do. That's the laughter of a crazy person.
I have business-related news to announce soon. I will give you a hint: I'm launching a new business! Stay tuned for the details. In the meantime, enjoy your weekend! SPRING IS FINALLY HEEEEEEERE!
Welcome! House Tour – The Before
We love our house like WHOA. But after dropping a few pretty pennies on it we weren't left with much for any renovations right away. The kitchen counters/sink/hardware have already been upgraded, which is a total bonus, but there are lots of things we want to do down the line.
Instead of whining through this whole post about how "this needs updated wah wah wah" I'll just go ahead and give you a quick run down:
- Paint all the woodwork white. YES. All of it. Cabinets, trim, built-ins. (Except for the stairwell – I love the wood balusters and handrail)
- Remove all of the wallpaper.
- Replace ALL of the flooring. White carpet under tables? What? Mauve carpet – huh?
- Paint the walls – doy
- Eventually we'd like to knock out a wall and add a sliding glass door where Rose's tent is, that steps out to a glorious patio.
- Fence in a portion of the yard for Olive, complete with doggy door.
- New office furniture, paint or replace the dining room furniture, and random furniture updates around the house.
- Finish the basement.
Without further ado, here's our most favorite house ever!
Rose's "house" was a fixture in this room for awhile. It's since moved into the dining room, allowing this space to function as her own personal dining area, complete with mini table. It's pretty cute, you guys.
I love the view down the hallway. Basically the entire first floor makes me insanely happy. When I'm in the kitchen I can see Rose wherever she is, which is a total bonus. If you have a one year old you will understand.
I've already started stripping wallpaper! Updates to come.
This space is going to really open up once we blow that wall out. I have the mirror there just to let some more light in – this space can definitely feel a bit dark at times.
I obviously can't wait for it to warm up so we can enjoy our screened-in porch like it was meant to be enjoyed. I can already taste the beer and feel the warm breeze.
Our fourth bedroom is downstairs, and will eventually be our guest room. Right now it's multi-functional. And by "multi-functional" I mean "dumping ground."
Most of my plants are hanging out in the hallway because of the ample light (skylights!), until I can find more permanent homes. Everything is sort of in a holding pattern until we have a better idea where everything will go.
My mom gave us her old furniture from when she was a little girl. Both pieces will eventually end up in Rose's room (one is currently living in the master), and I can't wait to refinish them. How neat is it that Rose will have her Gigi's old furniture from when SHE was the same age??
This was certainly not planned. Barf.
Whenever another baby comes along this room will be the nursery. Until then it's just a very scary place, full of random odds and ends that haven't found their final home yet.
The master bathroom is straight-up weird. We'd like to eventually rearrange in here, but that's waaaay down the line. We gotta pay for college first. 0_o
Because who doesn't have a Little People dollhouse right outside of their bathroom?
Olive followed me around the house, helping me take pictures. She pooped out along the way I found her basking in the sun at the bottom of the stairs.
We've already made a few improvements that I can't wait to share! Namely a very much needed fireplace door update, and one very cute paper mache animal addition. I'm unhealthily obsessed with him.
I'm so excited for it to warm up so we can start painting (and leaving the windows open to air out the rooms). There is so much to be done and we can't wait to get started! It'll be a slow and steady timeline, but I am already looking forward to the results!
A Free Upgrade – BOOYAH
I'm going to start this post with some math.
The goal was to swap out our teeny tiny master bathroom mirrors for something more substantial. After Craigslisting the old ones for $70 and buying a new one for $60, I'm pretty sure we came out ahead. Let me crunch the numbers… carry the two… yes! According to my calculations we finished this upgrade with $10 in our wallet. (Hence the "BOOYAH.")
The previous owners were either Leprechauns or I don't know. Maybe we're giants. We had to tip the mirrors all the way up to see our reflection and it made me dizzy.
I know they're all fancy and I did really like them but the one tricky thing with mirrors is you should actually be able to, I don't know, see yourself in them.
I know you'll say "Why didn't you just raise them?" because you're a smarty-pants. And the answer I would give you is that wall is HUGE. And those teeny mirrors were not only too small for us, but they were too small for that humongo wall.
And now ask me why the previous homeowners put lights on the ceiling, BEHIND WHERE YOU STAND TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR. That, my friend, I do not have an answer for. That will be our next upgrade for this room: actual vanity lights instead of overhead track-lighting.
Here's a better view of the mirrors before we took them down. They're nice, though, right? Just too small. Womp womp.
If you're ever looking for a way to instantly make a room look like a shoebox, remove the mirror.
I was downstairs wrangling The Kid while The Lumberjack was working his installation magic. I imagine he was like a cloud of tasmanian devil smoke, buzzing around measuring, screwing, and hammering.
He gave me the "ALL DONE COME LOOK" yell and I ran up to see my brand new bathroom. I'm not sure you guys realize how annoying it is to not be able to see yourself while trying to get ready in the morning.
I turned the corner and the bathroom already seemed lighter and brighter and 10x bigger.
I know some of you are going to be offended that we took down designer mirrors and replaced them with a builder-grade polished-edge mirror. Feel free to contact my publicist with all of your complaints. He handles all of that stuff. Also, my publicist is Kit Harrington and he may be too busy being sexy to deal with you.
The best thing about the large mirror is it reflects more light from the skylight above. It's really incredible what a difference this has made.
Dopey picture, but it illustrates how I can look in the mirror and see the skylight, which I couldn't do with the smaller mirrors and provides TONS more light.
But most importantly, the plants seem pretty happy about the change.
I didn't know I could talk so much about a mirror switch-out. It has made me pretty happy, though. Life really is about the small things.
This is how I feel now:
My next obstacle is trying to cover up those lovely mauve and beige tiles. Have any of you had luck with those stick-n-peal vinyl tiles?
Happy Friday, party people! Do something fun. Maybe surprise your best friend with a
glass bottle of wine and some chit chat. Whatever you do, have a great weekend!
An Anyone-Can-Do-It Hanging Planter
There are lots of things I love about Rose. For example, her snot bubbles are pretty cool. The fact that she can't be trusted around my plants is not so great. I have a lot of plants, you guys. I know you know this. I think my count is somewhere around 16. I'm fully aware that's questionable behavior. Just wait until pot is legal in Ohio. I'll have so many more! JUST KIDDING. Or am I? I am. Maybe.
All that to say I have a pretty serious need to get as many plants as I can off the ground and hanging from the ceiling. HA HA ROSE. You big sucker.
There are tutorials all over the internet for these but I figured why not add my own and include terrible photos? This happened at 9pm on Saturday night after I had woken up from a nap. As I was gathering my supplies I grumbled to Steve that I hadn't even fallen asleep, but he said the snoring begged to differ.
STEP 1: Cut 8 strips of yarn (or if you have a heavier plant, don't be an idiot, and use something stronger) and tie them into a knot, a few inches from the end.
STEP 2: Separate your yarn into four two-piece sections. Laying it out like this (below) helps to keep everything simple while you're tying knots.
This whole project is really just kinda like origami. Just take things one step at a time and it's easy. Except you're using yarn instead of paper and tying knots instead of folding anything. If you followed along with that stupid comparison then you'll have no problem following the rest of this tutorial.
STEP 3: Tie a knot into one of your two-piece sections, a few inches from the main knot.
STEP 4: Repeat that process for the remaining three sections.
STEP 5: Ok, you know how we have four two-piece sections? Pretend like you're trying to introduce them to each other. Hook them up. Broaden their horizons, if you will. Hey Mr. String, meet your hot neighbor Miss String. BOOM. And tie those two together.
STEP 6: Continue your match-making all the way around.
STEP 7: Now we're going to get really crazy and mix these strings up again. Use the same method you used in Step 5, tying two of the neighboring strings together.
STEP 8: Keep it going. One more trip around the block.
STEP 10: You're done! Stand back and ponder the creepy way I related strings to being a matchmaker.
My planter is super lightweight (it's thin plastic) and my plant is small, so this yarn should hold up just fine. Here's a fancy shot from below.
Rose wanted to get in on the photography action by laying on the floor with me. (She was sick all weekend which is why she has her pal, Carl.)
I really love how the mustard yarn pulls out the warm tones in the wallpaper.
PSYCHE. I know it's hard to sense sarcasm via the typed word, but come on. You know me better than that. That stuff is coming off, pronto. (Pronto = whenever I muster up the courage.)
In fact, imagine that photo above with no wallpaper, new wood floors, and white kitchen cabinets. I know it's early, but try.
After I tied a secure knot for the plant to hang, all I did was wrap the excess around the knot a few times. I didn't want to trim it in the off chance I ever want to lower the hanging height.
Not too hard, right?
I told you this project was do-able. Just do yourself a favor and stick to yarn hanging-planter projects and stay away from those mother effing yarn-wrapped letters. I hope you enjoyed my first Ohio-based craft. It's good to be back!
A Day in the Life of Mush Mush
I have an anyone-can-do-it DIY Plant Hanger project coming to you this week. But, until then, enjoy this peak into a day in the life of Rose, Professional Eater.
Rose's favorite food is spaghetti. I never pack it for daycare because I actually like the teachers at her school. Every time I load up her tray I think to myself "Maybe she won't get that messy this time." And 30 minutes later I think, "Self: You are a Grade A idiot."
Her favorite styling product is any type of goopy food that's impossible to get out.
After a delicious lunch and either a complete wipe down and/or bath, Rose settles in for a long winter's nap. She holds up all of her stuffed animals for me to kiss, and then she gets the last one. Somehow she manages to end up under this enormous pile.
The day is usually rounded out by one of her favorite activities: bird watching. Watching the bird feeder from the family room window captures her attention longer than any toy, surprisingly.
Whenever I tell her the Big Red Bird is back she comes running from whatever room she's in and climbs onto the couch. I love that kid. Even more than she loves birds.
Stay tuned for the plant DIY I mentioned earlier! Also, I have begun the process of taking pictures for the house tour, so maybe that'll come this week, too. If you're getting hit with snow like we are, stay safe and warm! I really hope this is the last of it…
Party Central
Rose's first birthday party went by in the blink of an eye. Remember when I said not to plan a party two weeks after moving into a new house? I meant it. Everything was perfect and we had so much fun and it was awesome for our friends to see the "before" of our home. But, yeah. Two weeks. In that time span we got all of our boxes unpacked (except for the basement, of course – we're not that good), furniture arranged and rooms fully functioning (especially the kitchen), and decorations hung and food prepared.
But most importantly: I found my pants.
My mom was SO SO SO OMG SO helpful and made these beautiful and delicious cupcakes:
And she didn't stop there. Chef Gigi also made a pasta salad, caprese skewers, and cowboy caviar! I managed to make a crockpot of pulled beef for sandwiches which completed the party spread. I thought everything turned out delicious – we certainly didn't have much leftover to indicate otherwise!
I didn't get great detail shots of the food and decorations. That was a total fail on my part. I was so busy just trying to snap pics of all the people and ROSE – obviz – and I failed you, my trusted blog readers. My apologizes. If you come over I'll give you a cookie.
Can you see the polka dot "confetti" tablecloth in behind the cupcakes? That thing took me FIVE HOURS to hand paint and I didn't even get a damn picture of it. (I did that pre-move.)
I am in love with that tablecloth. Everything I made for the party is all stuff that I can reuse for future birthdays – which was totally done on purpose. I wasn't about to spend hours making stuff to just throw it all away.
You can see a cloth-scrap banner below, hanging on the fireplace. It was SUPER easy to make. It took about 2 hours total and I promise you that no matter what craft-skill level you think you're on, you can pull this one off.
All you have to do is cut thin strips of fabric (or use ribbons – I wish I would've done that) and tie them on a piece of yarn or string. Once they're all tied on, trim them with scissors to give it that cascading look. It really is as simple as that.
Here's a ridiculously easy decorating idea: (this is from my Instagram feed so the quality is terrible – sorry.) I printed out all of Rose's monthly photos as 5x7s, and hung them on the wall in a grid with just some bubbles of masking tape.
I didn't even measure it out. EYEBALL ALL THE WAY. Steve is shuttering.
Sorry Aunt Marci. This picture is too good not to share with the world.
I told you the food was good. Could she be enjoying it any more?
In the picture below you can see that I reused some of the lace doilies from our wedding. That was a really convenient extra touch that made the space much more festive.
Gigi and her little baby. I managed to capture this sweet moment among the chaos:
(Photo Credit: My awesome cousin who I can always count on to take photos and email them to me frantically after I realize I didn't take many :)
After our guests mingled and ate and chatted and drank it was time for CAKE SMASHING!
Except there wasn't any cake smashing.
She gingerly poked at her cupcake with a candle. And then Steve fed her a few eager bites. And then it was over. I told her the lack of enthusiasm for cupcakes makes me wonder if we really are related.
The "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner was something else I wasn't planning on doing – but when we were waiting for our moving date to approach and living with my parents, I had to keep my busy hands occupied. They're pretty straight forward, but definitely time consuming. I cut the flag shape out of felt squares, folded over the top and sewed a pocket for the string, and glued on some hand-cut felt letters. That's pretty much all there was to it! But, like I said, it definitely took me a good solid few hours to finish.
My favorite part of that entire day was the chocolate kisses that Rose was liberally handing out. We couldn't get enough! She kisses with her mouth open. Big, wet, sloppy chocolate kisses.
We were VERY happy to have Cousin Caroline there to help out with unwrapping presents. It would've taken Rose until her second birthday to do it on her own. Watching the two of them shred into the presents was another one of my favorite moments from the party.
Rose is totally thinking, "Huh. So, that's how you do it!"
Rose got a swim outfit – complete with swim cap, sunglasses, swim robe, and flip flops. We were all but rolling around the floor laughing. I mean. COME ON. Could this get any cuter??
Although Rose LOVED her new dollhouse from Grandma and Grandpa, her tent and big-girl chair from Gigi and Saba, her ball popper, and lawnmower, and piano, crayons, books, and all of the various adorable outfits and accessories….
The big hit was definitely this singing card from Aunt Molly. Go figure.
The birthday party was definitely a success. We LOVED having our family and friends there – and are especially grateful to the ones who drove 2 hours each way!
We were all pretty worn out the next day. Rose and Steve spent a good portion of the afternoon watching Sesame Street with their bellies hanging out.
Or at least, Rose's belly was hanging out. Sesame Street was bookended with hours of playtime with all of her new toys!
If you have any questions about the DIYs feel free to leave them in the comments. I didn't take pictures as I was creating them like I usually do. (This moving transition has totally thrown things outta whack.) But I hope to be back to my DIYing ways SOON.
I owe you guys a house tour and plans of what's to come!

Watch in Horror as "Gravity" Plays Out in Real Life w/ SuitSat 1
March 10th, 2014 by Jo Borrás
Watching what looks like a cosmonaut slipping away from the International Space Station in an uncontrolled spin is utterly horrifying. Seeing the camera track the motionless suit as it orbits nearby in a slowly deteriorating orbit for months on end until- finally!- burning up in the Earth's atmosphere on re-entry is worse and, somehow, seems almost merciful. Even after you know the truth, that this was part of an ISS experiment and the empty suit was really rigged up as a student satellite named "SuitSat 1″, it's still über creepy.
The whole thing seems like a low-budget version of Alfonso Cuarón's overly intense 2013 movie, Gravity. Only somehow darkly, sickeningly worse.
Over at Sploid, NASA intern Sam Wilkinson described the concept behind SuitSat 1 as "quite simple, put some simple electronics (radio communications system, telemetry) into a Russian Orlan spacesuit, then throw it out of the airlock."
According to Frank Bauer of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, "SuitSat is a Russian brainstorm, some of our Russian partners in the ISS program … had an idea: Maybe we can turn old spacesuits into useful satellites." Aside from broadcasting voice messages from students around the world, and some telemetry data, SuitSat-1 also looked really eerie.
So, yeah. Have fun watching the video, below, and sending the animated .GIF, above, to all your easily squicked-out friends on Facebook. Enjoy!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Thursday that using austerity alone to solve the economic crisis afflicting France and the rest of Europe would lead to recession and possibly even depression. He said such an approach would make the French people pay nearly the whole cost of trying to recover from the crisis. "It would end in recession or depression," Sarkozy said in a speech in the southern French city of Toulon. Sarkozy said that cuts and economic reform were necessary but were only part of what were needed to help Europe emerge from its sovereign debt crisis.

A reader is someone who reads the questions for exams or quizzes to a disabled student who is unable to read the material on their own. The reader reads only what is printed on the exam or quiz, and does not offer explanation or interpretation of the material. A reader is considered an accommodation and must be approved by DSP&S professional prior to any exam/quiz.
In-class notetaking service is for students whose disabilities limit them from taking effective notes, and is determined a reasonable accommodation by a DSP&S counselor. A volunteer notetaker is a student registered in the same class as notetaking services are being requested. They are individuals identified by the DSP&S student who agree to perform the duties of a notetaker. DSP&S can provide a stipend payment for students who volunteer to be in-class notetakers.
DSP&S can provide an in-class scribe service for students whose disabilities prevent them from writing in-class assignments or performing in-class hands-on activities. The duties of the scribe are to write (by hand or computer) verbatim what the student with the disability dictates. Scribes should be familiar with the necessary formats, but they are not responsible for proof-reading papers. The student with the disability is expected to direct the scribe what to write and where to place the information, for example in a formula or works cited list. Scribes are not allowed to tutor, prompt or correct the student with the disability.

Attention Please Make Up Base Cream Review
Let me tell ya, Pan Am, is all about the visual candy because the substance of the drama is so snoring boring…..
I thought this was the break out hit for Fall…? What the hell happened? Seriously, if it wasn't for the clothes, hair, makeup, and accessories I'd have deleted it from my Tivo three episodes ago.
Gimme zombies and haunted houses, forget 60's glam….!
Speaking of retro Stewardess'…Attention Please, a brand I recently introduced you too, seems to be doing some pimping for Pan Am as their packaging gathers up the retro vibe of travel days gone by.
Let's take a look at Attention Please Make Base Cream and see if it offers anything better than the Pan Am TV show does. Yawn.
A moisturizing cream makeup base.
I happen to have dry skin so I do so favor a creamy, moisturizing base for makeup since it gives my skin a nice dewy finish allowing foundations and powders to look natural and flawless without caking up and accentuating drier areas.
Attention Please Make Up Base Cream contains shea butter and beeswax in a rich, nourishing formula that preps skin for makeup and promises to retain moisture while keeping makeup in place. The formula is mineral oil and silicon-free.
For something that contains shea this is actually rather lightweight and once applied doesn't leave behind an oily, greasy-feel. It absorbs in a snap and leaves my skin dewy to the touch and allows my foundation, bb cream, or powder of choice to glide on easily. It has a subtle fresh scent as well.
It didn't extend the wear of my makeup in any way, shape, or form but it does provide a good, solid base for makeup and eases dry spots and areas. It also allows my skin to remain moist for longer periods of time. I've used in the air conditioner which is notorious for drying my skin out and it seems to keep my skin pleasantly moist but never shiny. I've also used it brisk, cooler air which also tends to dry out and chap my cheeks and it seems to prevent this from happening.
Overall, I'm pleased with the results as it's a nice, moisturizing base. I've tried lots of bases that have similar formulas so this isn't particularly unique or special but it is my "purchase of the moment, that I like" so I'm cool with it.
A little disappointed it didn't extend the wear of my makeup but not bothered much by this considering few products excel at this.
- Anyone who doesn't like silicon primers.
- Those with drier skin that want a product that will keep skin dewy and hydrated throughout the day.
- Those wanting a hydrating primer to ease the way for powder products.
- Those looking to extend the wear of foundation, bb cream, or other makeup products.
- Those who aren't keen shopping online, dealing with airmail, etc…(this is a Japanese product that isn't available in US stores).
Attention Please Makeup Base is a nice little product although I'm not sure it proves worthy of tracking down on E-bay or an online retailer and having it shipped to the US. The creamy base has a nice moisturizing finish that provides all day hydration however you won't find it extends foundation wear.
I like it well enough but as I mentioned not sure you need to track around the world wide web to locate it when you can find cheaper, easier to find options right here in the US.
What are some of your favorite moisturizing primers?
If you do find yourself yearning for it you can purchase on E-bay from AlphabeautyUK.

10/12/11 0:23 Mindy:
There was a rather popular Japanese drama from 2006 (and related specials in 2006 & 2008) called Attention Please starring Ueto Aya. It was about the journey and training that her character undergoes in order to become a airline flight attendant. It was a fluffy, cute show I think the Attention Please makeup brand may be trying to build on the success of that tv series and/or it's a brand tie-in that's connected to the drama.
10/12/11 3:07 Linda:
I don't know if you know but there was a Japanese drama about flight attendants called "Attention Please". http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Attention_Please 😛 I haven't seen PAN AM, but I liked "Attention Please"
10/12/11 4:10 Caroline:
I still have hopes for Pan Am since I'm a sucker for Mad Men 😉
10/12/11 19:33 Donna:
I haven't given up on Pan Am yet, but Mad Men it is not. It sorta seems like a show they would have aired at that time, not a show ABOUT that time. But I agree Muse, the only thing keeping me around is the outfits and the hair and makeup.
10/12/11 6:34 Summer:
I have this, it's good for moisturising but I wish it made my make up last a little longer! x
10/12/11 8:44 JoJo:
Great review. I love Japanese products. I wouldn't mind getting this product but if it has no staying power then I might have to reconsider.
10/12/11 10:15 Diana:
10/12/11 11:33 Michelle:
I love Christina Ricci (have been a fan since the Addams Family movie) but that pic made me giggle. The gossip is that Pan Am is going to be the next show to hit the chopping block now that the Playboy show has bitten the dust.
10/12/11 11:50 Marle:
Muse, I can't wait for The Walking Dead!! It's almost here! 😀
10/13/11 1:38 Angela:
I filmed a featured non-speaking role on Pan Am this week.
10/14/11 4:34 chels:
Muse, I know you're a Kdrama kinda gal so not sure if you ever watch the Japanese drama called: Attention Please! .. it's a pretty great drama . If you never watched, you should check it out and YesAsia has it too haha
10/14/11 17:53 HautePJ:
You need to watch Revenge! I swear you'll be hooked.
12/6/11 5:11 deedee:
if you want a bb cream to extend your makeup depending on your skin type the ones ive tried=
if you have yellow undertones to your skin and like your skin to look 'fresh' try – skin79 'dreamgirls' BB with spf 30 =my absolute fave
want matt skin and have reddness/acne – lioele Dollish veil vital BB with spf 25 in number 2 (natural green)
dewy skin and lasts even if you rub your face a lot during the day – etude house BB cream all day strong in sheer glowing skin number 2
matt skin in thicker cream – lioele in triple the solution bb cream with spf 30 i only used this in winter in Australia as its a little too thick for summer i think
hope this helps
1/14/12 22:44 Sam:
I think with the Pan-Am-esque product advertising, they were going for a mashup between Pan-Am show and the J-drama "Attention Please"?
I'd love a primer that has no silicone, even though my skin isn't particularly sensitive but I do have oily skin so I don't know how mattifying this primer is or will it prevent my makeup from slipping and sliding…..le sigh

Study: Pythons linked to decline of Everglades' mammals
Burmese pythons are eating their way through the Everglades, leaving a dramatic decline in mammal populations in their slithering wake in just a decade, according to a study released today.
Researchers kept track of animals — like raccoons, opossums and rabbits — they saw alive or found as roadkill during nighttime road surveys in Everglades National Park before and after 2000, when pythons were recognized to be established in the park.
"The numbers, even to us, were astonishing," said Michael Dorcas, biologist at Davidson College in North Carolina and the study's lead author with scientists from eight other institutions, including the U.S. Geological Survey.
No rabbits or foxes were spotted along 35,000 miles of surveys between 2003 and 2011, and the frequency of sightings of raccoons declined by 99 percent compared to surveys along the same routes in 1996 and 1997; sightings of opossums and bobcats declined by 99 percent and 88 percent, respectively, according to the study published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The findings, the first to document the pythons' effect on the South Florida ecosystem, stress the importance of stopping the spread of the nonnative predator and raise big questions about the havoc they are wreaking, Dorcas said.
"We need to know more about what's going on here," he said.
Just how many pythons are roaming the Everglades is unknown, but scientists say they number at least in the tens of thousands _ and are spreading.
The study found mammal populations were more healthy at spots where pythons have only recently been found compared to spots in Everglades National Park where pythons have been established the longest.
That pattern gave researchers confidence that the pythons were the culprit for the mammal decline. They dismissed disease because so many different species showed decline.
Other than changes in water flows, the park has not seen man-made changes in the past 20 years that could cause such a drop-off in mammals, researchers concluded.
They also pointed out that pythons hunt for food in the same habitats along the water's edge where unsuspecting raccoons and opossums go for a meal.
Endangered species also could be vulnerable, the study says. Scientists already know that pythons eat wood storks and Key Largo wood rats.
Measuring a decline in a rare species, such as the Florida panther, is more difficult because they are more difficult to find, Dorcas said.
"It could be happening and we haven't detected it yet," he said.
Today's report puts a scientific exclamation point on a trend that has captured imaginations around the world.
In 2006, images of a burst python with an alligator sticking out of it helped focus public attention on the Everglades python invasion as did news last year that hunters captured a python that had eaten a 76-pound deer.
Earlier this month, the U.S. government banned the importation and interstate transportation of four nonnative constrictors, including the Burmese python.
"Right now the only hope to halt further python invasion into new areas is swift, decisive and deliberate human action," U.S. Geological Survey Director Marcia McNutt said in a written statement today.
At Everglades National Park, spokeswoman Linda Friar worries that the python is single-handedly changing the public's perception of what they can see at the park.
She said python sightings by visitors to the 1.5-million acre park are extremely rare, and pythons do not pose a safety hazard to park visitors.
The National Park Service is spending about $1 million on several projects to try to corral the python problem, she said. They include a study with Auburn University to use trained dogs to root out pythons and working with the University of Georgia to design a smartphone application to report pythons and monitor them on the web.
"We're watching it and doing what we can with the resources we have to determine what the impacts might be," Friar said.
Since 2005, The Nature Conservancy has trained everybody from park rangers at Big Cypress National Preserve to meter readers in the Florida Keys to capture pythons.
Nothing short of a volunteer army of python watchers is needed to keep the python menace from spreading with consequences that are largely still not understood, Nature Conservancy biologist Cheryl Millett said.
"We need all those eyes and ears out there," she said.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 — Police say a majority of baby-dumping cases involve Malays which observers say is the result of the stigma of illegitimate children and the community being ill-equipped to deal with unwanted pregnancies.
While there is no actual racial breakdown available because it is often difficult to determine the race of the babies, police say anecdotal evidence and prosecutions show the majority involve Malays.
Police say 13 out of 65 cases involving the dumping of newborns have resulted in prosecutions. All of the accused were Malays.
A total of 67 cases were recorded in 2005, 83 cases in 2006, 76 in 2007, 102 in 2008 and 79 in 2009.
ACP Hamidah Yunus, deputy director of the CID's sexual, abuse and children's investigations division in Bukit Aman, said the actual racial composition could not be given as most cases were unsolved due to a lack of evidence.
"All the 13 who have been charged (this year) are Malays... the ones we cannot solve we do not know, most of the babies found look Malay, but they are actually Indonesians, Vietnamese and Nepalese... we do not know until we figure out who threw these babies away," Hamidah told The Malaysian Insider.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Welfare Department told The Malaysian Insider that it was hard to determine the identity or race of the babies who were dumped.
"We cannot really determine the race of the babies who have been abandoned. We can differentiate through their skin colour and facial features. But if a baby is already dead when we find them, it is difficult to determine," said the spokesman.
Cases of babies being abandoned have increased from 65 cases in 2005 to 79 cases last year. On average, eight abandoned babies were found each month this year.
Hamidah blamed the lackadaisical attitude of the parents for abandoning their babies. Some are too young to get married, so they end up dumping their babies, she said.
"Family plays an important role here. You cannot just depend on the government to tackle this issue," Hamidah said.
Sisters in Islam spokeswoman Yasmin Masidi said teenagers who end up getting pregnant are usually ostracised by society, by fears that they will be punished by the religious authorities.
"So when this happens, they leave their babies," said Yasmin, adding that the lack of shelters for pregnant teens contributed to the rise in cases of baby dumping.
She added that unprotected sex and incest added to the number of cases although there was no statistical evidence.
Yasmin said that since most of the offenders in baby-dumping cases were teenagers, there was a need for sex education to be introduced in school.
"All this while the pressure has always been on the girls to have sex and they are blamed when babies are abandoned.
"Teenage boys should also be taught to take responsibility for their actions," said Yasmin.
Malaysian Muslim Lawyers' Association president Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar said the reason why the majority of baby-dumping cases involved Malays was because there was no control on curbing immoral activities.
"They are doing this due to a lack of religious guidance and I consider this a curse from Allah," said Zainul.
Malaysian Syarie Lawyers' Association deputy president Musa Awang claimed that Malays often took the short cut by abandoning their babies for fear of being shunned by society.
"There is a possibility that other races do not view illegitimate children as an issue.
"Society will often judge harshly in matters like this," said Musa.
Jemmah Islah Malaysia (JIM) president Zaid Kamaruddin told The Malaysian Insider that he was shocked by the statistics produced by the police this year.
"What can be understood is that Malays do not practice safe sex, and do not handle the situation well. When they do not handle it well, it affects the rise in such cases," said Zaid.
Zaid claimed that Malays were often caught in a dilemma of "not knowing what to do" once they were pregnant with child.
"Yes, it is the responsibility of society to tackle this issue but it still boils down to the individual. They need to take care of themselves," said Zaid.

D3 + K2 Dots™ 1000 IU 60 Tablets from Twinlab® may be a good source of vitamins D-3 and K-2 and could support bone health. Vitamin D-3 and K-2 are part of the essential nutrients required for basic body functions.
The vitamin D-3 present in the supplement from Twinlab® might help strengthen the bones and teeth by improving the absorption of calcium. Vitamin D-3 is considered one of the most useful nutritional tools for improving overall health. Studies show that its main function is to maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. This could in turn help the muscles and the heart function efficiently.
The body manufactures vitamin D-3 when the skin is exposed to the Ultra Violet radiation from the sunlight' but this ability is known to deteriorate with age. In such cases' a supplement like this one may prove very helpful.
Vitamin K plays an important role in helping the blood clot and thus could prevent excessive bleeding. Vitamin K-2 is a group of compounds largely obtained from meats' cheeses' and eggs' and synthesized by bacteria. It might support bone' cardiovascular' skin' brain' and prostate health.
Vitamin K-2 present in D3 + K2 Dots™ 1000 IU 60 Tablets from Twinlab® may also support and maintain the health of bones' cartilage' and blood vessels.

Relief for dry mouth-A A +A
Monday, April 14, 2014
DEAR Dr. Fritz,
CALL me Maybe. My problem is my dry mouth. I don't like this. I often hear that my breath doesn't smell good. What are the causes of this problem? Please help me.
Thanks and God speed!
Dear Maybe,
A dry mouth can certainly put you in a bad light giving you persistent bad breath. There are a lot of reasons why you are getting this.
1. Medicines
There are more than 400 types of medications which can give you dry mouth. These include over-the-counter drugs for allergies and cold symptoms, and many prescription drugs for high blood pressure, overactive bladder, and mental health problems. Radiation for certain cancers which can damage the salivary glands can also give you this problem. Chemotherapy can also dry your mouth.
You don't have to stop your medicines. You should talk to your doctor for your concerns.
2. Nerve Damage
A dry mouth can be due to nerve damage from a head or neck injury where transmission of the messages between the brain and the salivary gland can no longer work.
3. Medical Problems
This includes Sjögren's syndrome – which is an autoimmune disorder in which white blood cells called lymphocytes attack the body's tear and salivary glands leading to dry eyes and dry mouth. You can also see dry mouth problems in patients with diabetes and HIV/AIDS.
If you are also smoking, stop it. Smoking may not cause dry mouth but it can make your condition worse. Moreover, alcohol and caffeinated drinks can also dry you up.
Now, here's what you can do about it.
You should see your doctor or dentist.
Your condition might point out some medical problems which need help like diabetes or Sjogren's syndrome. Of course, your physician can certainly help you out.
Take care of your teeth.
If you lack saliva, then, this could damage your teeth. So, see your dentist regularly. Aside from that, be sure to brush and floss your teeth everyday. If you can't brush after eating, be sure to rinse your mouth. Drink water always and try using alcohol-free mouthwash or dental products.
Stimulate your Saliva
Do this by sucking on sugar-free candy or chewing sugar-free gum.
Sip water frequently
This will help to keep your mouth moist.
Shy away from caffeinated drinks
They can dry you up and make your situation worse.
Sleep in a room with humidifier
This would help you decrease your dry mouth symptoms.
See your dentist regularly.
Always keep yourself hydrated with water and milk.
Well, I hope that helps. Good luck!
Dr. Fritz

Thanks, Hun! And it did take about 4 hours and that's not that bad compared to the other styles i do :DDelete
Looks beautiful Ashanwa! If I did this hairstyle (which I am now seriously considering doing), mine would be shorter. Questions: does it feel heavy? Is the rumor true that Ghana weaving badly damages your hair?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Nmeli! It is no way at all heavy and it doesn't weigh you down. I believe this is better than single stranded braids (if you're concerned about your edges) because it doesn't get twisted at the roots (something one experiences a lot when single stranded braids age) and your hair is more secured to your scalp. Just like every other braided style, if you leave it in for too long, it can damage the hair so it's all about knowing when to take it out.Delete
Hope this helps and let me know if you have anymore questions.
Good luck :D
Gorgeous braids! So pretty!ReplyDelete
Thanks, DianaDelete

God bless this man…
In his first speech since taking official steps toward running for President, Fred Thompson slammed the immigration bill, calling it "unworkable"
Thompson managed to hit most major conservative themes in his 35-minute address. He traced the formation of his political philosophy to Barry Goldwater. While he did not directly invoke Ronald Reagan, to whom his supporters compare him, he closed his speech by echoing the former president's call for "optimism." He dwelled on the need for a strong national defense — although he barely mentioned the Iraq war — and urged an increase in defense spending, noting yesterday's reports of a foiled plot targeting New York's John F. Kennedy Airport as proof of terrorism's threat.
"This is a battle between the forces of civilization and of evil," he said.
He warned against Democratic proposals to repeal tax cuts and against liberal judges, noting that he helped shepherd Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. through his Senate confirmation.
But he received his biggest applause for blasting the bipartisan plan for immigration reform, which he called unworkable. "We are a nation of compassion, a nation of immigrants," he said. "But this is our home . . . and we get to decide who comes into our home."
That's right, Fred. We can't decide because we elect officials who are supposed to represent the reasons we voted them into office. When officials get elected and don't properly represent their constituents, the people get mad and vote in someone who will actually govern. We will vote you in, Fred. You're the true conservative's only hope.

text: Pulmonary Function Tests(PFTs, Pulmonary Function Studies, Lung Function Studies/Tests, Airflow Assessment)Procedure overviewWhat are pulmonary function tests?Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are noninvasive diagnostic tests that provide measurable feedback about the function of the lungs. By assessing lung volumes, capacities, rates of flow, and gas exchange, PFTs provide information that, when evaluated by your doctor, can help diagnosis certain lung disorders.A normally-functioning pulmonary system operates on many different levels to ensure adequate balance. One of the primary functions of the pulmonary system is ventilation, the movement of air into and out of the lungs.Some medical conditions may interfere with ventilation. These conditions may lead to chronic lung disease. Conditions that interfere with normal ventilation are categorized as restrictive or obstructive. An obstructive condition occurs when air has difficulty flowing out of the lungs due to resistance, causing a decreased flow of air. A restrictive condition occurs when the chest muscles are unable to expand adequately, creating a disruption in air flow.Pulmonary function tests may be indicated to determine the presence, location, cause, and characteristics of the problem, and to guide treatment.Pulmonary function tests is an inclusive term that refers to several different procedures that measure lung function in different ways. Some of the more common values that may be measured during pulmonary function testing include:Tidal volume (VT). This is the amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing.Minute volume (MV). This is the total amount of air exhaled per minute.Vital capacity (VC). This is the total volume of air that can be exhaled after maximum inspiration.Functional residual capacity (FRC). This is the amount of air remaining in lungs after normal expiration.Total lung capacity. This is the total volume of lungs when maximally inflated.Forced vital capacity (FVC). This is the amount of air exhaled forcefully and quickly after maximum inspiration.Forced expiratory volume (FEV). This is the volume of air expired during the first, second, and third seconds of the FVC test.Forced expiratory flow (FEF). This is the average rate of flow during the middle half of the FVC test.Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). This is the maximum volume during forced expiration.Some PFTs involve the use of a spirometer.The spirometer is an instrument that measures the amount of air breathed in and/or out and how quickly the air is inhaled and expelled from the lungs while breathing through a mouthpiece. The measurements are recorded on a device called a spirograph.Other test results are derived from calculations based on the results of certain spirometry procedures. In addition to measuring the amount and rate of air inhaled and exhaled, these tests can also indicate how well oxygen and carbon dioxide are being exchanged in the alveoli.Some PFTs, such as thoracic gas volume or other lung volume measurements, may be determined by plethysmography. During plethysmography, a person sits or stands inside an air-tight box that resembles a short, square telephone booth to perform the tests.The normal values for PFTs vary from person to person. The amount of air inhaled and exhaled in your test results are compared to the expected average in someone of the same age, height, sex, and race. In addition, results are compared to your previous test results, if previous testing has been done. If you have abnormal PFT measurements or if your results are different from previous tests, you may be referred for other diagnostic tests to establish a medical diagnosis.Anatomy of the respiratory systemThe respiratory system is made up of the organs involved in the exchange of gases, and consists of the:NosePharynxLarynxTracheaBronchiLungsThe upper respiratory tract includes the:NoseNasal cavityEthmoidal air cellsFrontal sinusesMaxillary sinusLarynxTracheaThe lower respiratory tract includes the lungs, bronchi, and alveoli.What are the functions of the lungs?The lungs take in oxygen, which cells need to live and carry out their normal functions. The lungs also get rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product of the body's cells.The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped organs made up of spongy, pinkish-gray tissue. They take up most of the space in the chest, or the thorax (the part of the body between the base of the neck and diaphragm).The lungs are enveloped in a membrane called the pleura.The lungs are separated from each other by the mediastinum, an area that contains the following:The heart and its large vesselsTrachea (windpipe)EsophagusThymusLymph nodesThe right lung has three sections called lobes. The left lung has two lobes. When you breathe, the air enters the body through the nose or the mouth. It then travels down the throat through the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe) and goes into the lungs through tubes called mainstem bronchi.One mainstem bronchus leads to the right lung and one to the left lung. In the lungs, the mainstem bronchi divide into smaller bronchi and then into even smaller tubes called bronchioles. Bronchioles end in tiny air sacs called alveoli.Reasons for the procedureThere are many different reasons why PFTs may be ordered. They are sometimes ordered in healthy individuals as part of a routine physical. In others, the tests may be ordered when a specific illness is suspected. Some of the disorders that may be detected with PFTs include, but are not limited to, the following:Allergies. An acquired, abnormal immune response to one or more substances that can cause a broad range of inflammatory reactions.Chronic lung conditions. Conditions, such as asthma, bronchiectasis, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis, that can be treated but not cured.Asbestosis. A lung disease caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers.Chest trauma. Trauma to the chest, such as fractured ribs or a recent surgical procedure, can restrict an individual's ability to breathe adequately.Restrictive airway conditions. Impaired lung expansion as a result of conditions, such as scoliosis, pulmonary tumors, or inflammation or scarring of the chest wall.Respiratory infectionsSarcoidosis. A condition that causes small, fleshy swellings in the tissue around the organs, usually in the liver, lungs, and spleen.Scleroderma. A disease of the body's connective tissue that causes thickening and hardening of the skin.PFTs may be used to assess the lung function of patients prior to surgery or other invasive procedures in patients who have current lung and/or heart problems, who are smokers, or who have other conditions that might be affected by surgery or other procedures.Another use of PFTs is the evaluation of treatment for conditions such as asthma, emphysema, and other chronic lung problems.There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend pulmonary function tests.Risks of the procedureBecause pulmonary function testing is a noninvasive procedure, it is safe for most individuals. It is quick and the individual needs to be able to follow clear, simple directions.Complications of PFTs may include:Faintness or light-headedness due to hyperventilationAsthmatic episode precipitated by deep inhalation exercisesSituations in which PFTs may be contraindicated include, but are not limited to, the following:Recent eye surgery, because of increased pressure inside the eyes during the procedureRecent abdominal or chest surgery, because of potential interference with the ability to take deep breaths and stress on the surgical siteChest pain, recent heart attack, or unstable cardiovascular statusThoracic, abdominal, or cerebral aneurysmActive tuberculosis or acute respiratory infection, such as a cold or the fluThere may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.Certain factors or conditions may interfere with the accuracy of PFTs. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the following:Medications such as bronchodilators (open the airways) or pain medications (may affect the ability to perform the tests)Pregnancy or gastric distention (may affect the ability to take in deep breaths)Fatigue or other conditions that affect the ability to perform the testsBefore the procedureYour doctor will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.Generally, no prior preparation, such as fasting, fluid restriction, or sedation is required. However, you may be asked to avoid eating a heavy meal before the test.If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your doctor.Notify your doctor of all medications (prescription and over-the-counter) and herbal supplements that you are taking.If you are a smoker, you will usually be asked to refrain from smoking for a period of time before the test.Your height and weight will be recorded so that your results can be accurately calculated.Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparation.During the procedurePulmonary function tests may be done on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in the hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your and your doctor's practices.Generally, PFTs follow this process:You will be asked to loosen tight clothing, jewelry, or other objects that may interfere with the procedureIf you wear dentures, you will be asked to wear them during the procedure.You will be asked to empty your bladder before the procedure to optimize comfort.You will sit in a chair or stand for the procedure.You will be given a soft nose clip to wear during the procedure so that all of your breaths will go through your mouth, rather than your nose.You will be given a sterile mouthpiece that will be attached to the spirometer.With your mouth forming a tight seal around the mouthpiece, you will be instructed to perform various breathing maneuvers. The maneuvers will be done by inhaling and exhaling. Depending on what measurements are ordered, you may be asked to repeat the maneuvers several times before the test is completed.You may be given a bronchodilator after certain tests have been performed. These tests will be repeated several minutes later after the bronchodilator has taken effect.You will be monitored carefully during the procedure for faintness, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or any other problems.After the procedureGenerally, there is no special type of care following PFTs. You may resume your usual diet, medications, and activities unless your doctor advises you otherwise.If you have a history of respiratory problems, you may be tired after the procedure. You will be given the opportunity to rest afterwards.Your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure depending upon your particular situation.Online resourcesThe content provided here is for informational purposes only, and was not designed to diagnose or treat a health problem or disease, or replace the professional medical advice you receive from your doctor.

Got a note from Tracy L. Wall who wanted to share this:
I've found a great alternative to sending out postcards to patrons on my e-mail list: E-Motions Video Postcards. Looks so much better than the e-mails I have sent in the past. I think it's a simple way to give people a glimpse of my paintings without them having to click, then click, and click and click….
The artist sends in a few images along with necessary text, and they send back to you a short video (turnaround time was faster than I expected!). You, then, can send it on to some or all of your art patrons as an attachment. (Since my patrons are familiar with my e-mail address, they're not concerned about the attachment.) They start as low as $60 for your images, music and a template background resulting in a 20-second emailable video postcard. Custom audio recording (or video) is an additional charge. I thought it was a great buy, and I've gotten wonderful responses back from this e-mailing where I haven't before.
These can be found on http://www.brightfarm.com/e-motions.htm. There's samples to view and choose from, and they'll try to incorporate any suggestions or ideas you may have. So far it's been a great way to help folks keep an eye on my new works.
They can also be reached at (916) 631-7119, or e-mail questions to email@example.com.
See Tracy's video this month only. (WMV file)
Tracy's video is 1.3 MB, which is a very large file. I would caution against sending a file this large to anyone who is still on a dial-up connection. I also would say that the teaser to get people to open any attachment is crucial. Don't just send something with "See attached." Compel people to open whatever you have to show them. Read "Entice Me" from the Art Marketing Action newsletter.

Looking for Capital to Start Your Business?
Are you wondering how to obtain small business financing so that you can turn your dream business into a reality? Would you like to know the best ways to obtain small business loans? Or maybe you want to know more about angel investors or venture capitalists. We highly encourage you to read our review of three solid resources that can help you with your new business financing in our article, Small Business Financing: How to Obtain the Capital You Need to Start Your Business.
Business Overview:
Attention dog lovers: Starting a dog grooming business can be the key to your professional happiness and your ticket to financial freedom. If this business idea piques your interest, you'll be happy to know that learning how to start a dog grooming business is easy and straightforward, and the startup costs can be minimal. You can initially start a dog grooming business from your home and build your company from there, eventually renting or buying a space that enables you to create a truly professional grooming atmosphere. Until then, a tub with a long shower nozzle, a grooming table, and well-kept grooming tools can get you your first customers. The beauty of this business is that, for most customers, it doesn't matter how fancy your shop is but whether or not the canine customers that emerge from it are clean and happy. This is where your business model comes into play. You will want to have a business license and insurance to start so that you're well-protected—legally and financially. You will want to familiarize yourself with popular grooming techniques and practice on the dogs of your family and friends to master the skills. You will also want to create a grooming services menu with prices listed clearly so that your customers know exactly what they're getting from your company, and you will want to spell out what you expect from the dogs you work with. In other words, you can refuse a biting dog, or charge more for a dog that requires a cage or muzzle. When your business gets up and running, you can decide to hire groomers to work for you and expand your business exponentially. Additionally, as you make a name for your company, you can review your price list and decide if your service is worth more. After all, people love their dogs so much they will often pay a great deal to ensure they're clean and contented.

I had heard that the audi tt-s had a turbo 2.0 four not a v-6.
The block is not just any old iron, it's gray cast iron with vermicular graphite--a high-tech material referred to as FJV-450 that is 40% more rigid and twice as raigue-resistant than plain old iron.The heads are aluminum, and made in three pieces. One has the combustion chambers and cooling, the one on top of that supplies the oil, and the top one is a ladder bolting in the top of the cam bearings. No weight announced yet, but it's gotta be way heavier than the 4.2 FSI V-8. I also wonder if it can possibly be quicker than the forthcoming V-10 variant...
it will be much higher asking price. but it pays respect to the LeMans R-8 sports car. glad that they are putting V-12 instead of a 2 cylinder
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeha!!! Is the diesel an iron block? How much heavier is the TDI from the regular car?
i can so see that happening, but i m glad the number of cylinders will be high, i cant stand 4 and 6 cylinder cars and screw the power rating, the more cylinders the better the car
I can see it now, the opec trying to invent a reason to raise diesel costs up. OMG a person just farted, we have to raise up the barrel to 200 dollars.

BOSTON (November 18, 2013) Emerson College in Boston is renaming its communication school the Ron Burgundy School of Communication for one day only on Dec. 4 to honor the fictitious television anchorman.
Actor Will Ferrell, in character, is scheduled to share his path to journalism greatness with students and the visit will include a news conference, the renaming ceremony and a screening of "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues."
Ferrell will introduce the movie.
College President Lee Pelton says Burgundy "understands the power of media, as well as hairspray, firsthand."
Burgundy, known for telling people he's "kind of a big deal," says he hopes to let students know how hard it is to make it to the top, in his words, "especially if you don't have good hair."

Meet Your Hosts
"We treat everyone like a friend, and prefer a friendly atmosphere."
Cor and MaRia Bijvank have camped all over the world. Born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the couple has traveled all over the world. But the last twenty years mainly in the United States, into Canada, Alaska and Mexico. Early in 2005, they purchased their KOA campground, and as of now, this KOA is completely remodeled and redone. New bathrooms and laundry facilities are done and all of the sites have level concrete pads and patio's.
Cor and MaRia run their campground differently than most in the U.S. "We greet campers with an old-fashioned European hospitality. When campers arrive, we go to them, so they don't have to get out of their vehicles and come to us in the office," said Cor. We encourage people to set up camp after arrival, relax a bit, and then check in later that day. This makes each person comfortable. "We treat everyone like a friend, and above all ,we prefer a friendly atmosphere."
Due to the geologically interesting area, the campground evokes the attention of groups of travelers. Beside the regular travelers, Cor and MaRia welcome colleges and universities studying the land and provide them with a base camp as the students delve into their studies. Often times the groups will stay one to two weeks as they get a first-hand glimpse of the inner workings of the Earth and the Big Horn Mountains.
Cor speaks four different languages and both pride themselves on their ability to utilize their internationally oriented perspectives. "Sometimes people want to speak in their native language and as international travelers, they sometimes need help with things. "I can help with that" . "We have lived in several places in the world and seen a lot of things; we think we know what people like and dislike."
The campground's originality is what sets it apart from many other campgrounds. It is a fun place to stop, be it for a night or a week, and they are there to add a European flair to an American tradition.

Notre Dame blows out NewCath
Pandas to face Highlands in Region 9 final
By Dave Malaska
CRESTVIEW HILLS, Ky. – Notre Dame pushed its unbeaten streak to 12 games, rolling past NewCath, 6-0 in a Region 9 semifinal at Dixie Heights on Wednesday.
Six different players scored goals as Notre Dame dominated play from start to finish, keeping the ball on the Thoroughbeds' side of the field for the bulk of the game and outshooting NewCath, 21-5. The Pandas also had 14 shots on goal to the Thoroughbreds' three.
The Pandas went up, 1-0, in the 24th minute when sophomore striker Taylor Watts dodged a collision in front of the goal to tap in the first score of the night. NewCath keeper Meg Martin had come out of goal to collect an errant pass and bobbled it, as Watts danced past her for the easy goal.
Notre Dame took a two-goal lead a minute later when senior Carlee Clemons headed in a Maddie Tierney corner kick, also giving Tierney the new school record for assists. That score stood at the half, then senior Zoe Stovik added to the Pandas' total four minutes into the second half on an angled shot from the side that found the back corner of the net just beyond Martin's dive.
Carissa Dyer made it 4-0 five minutes later off a cross from Emma Schneider. Mandy Arnzen and Megan Berberich added late goals for the final tally.
Martin, in goal for NewCath, finished with eight saves in the loss.
Notre Dame coach Sara McSorley said the Pandas clearly came ready to play.
"We were ready, mentally. Sometimes, we struggle to put together two halves, so it was nice to see us play that strong from start to finish," the coach said.
Tierney added that the team, which has outscored opponents, 35-0, over its last six matches — including a 5-0 win over Dixie Heights in the regional opener on Monday — has come to expect it of themselves.
"We had the same mentality that we had against Dixie, that we were going to go out hard get every ball in the air make every tackle. Just give everything we had," Tierney said.
The win sets up Saturday's rematch with Highlands for the regional title. The teams have met twice this season, splitting the results. The last time they met was the last time the Pandas were beaten, a 2-1 result in a shootout at the Lexington Catholic Cup tournament in mid-September.
That game may have put the Pandas on a mission to collect their third straight regional crown, and another run at the state title, said McSorley.
"Losing that game, I think it refocused us," McSorley said. "We were going up and down all season, because we were young. But when you lose hard-fought match like that the kind of wakes you up. We've responded in a positive manner."
After beating the Bluebirds, 3-0, in August, Notre Dame may have overlooked them in Lexington. That will not happen on Saturday, Tierney said.
"I think our mentality going into the Lexington game was that we'd already beaten them once and it was going to be easy, which obviously wasn't the case," Tierney said. "This time, we'll come out strong. We have something to prove."
"We'll be mentally ready," McSorley promised. "I think it should be an exciting match. Both teams have been playing well the past couple weeks. It'll be an intense regional final."
HALFTIME: 2-0. GOALS: ND—Watts, Clemons, Stovik, Dyer, Arnzen, Berberich. SHUTOUT: NDA—Hansel and Kim (3 saves). RECORDS: Notre Dame 19-2-3, NewCath 13-4-4.
