Baby Bath Theme
It's bath time for your guests! Bring out the soap and suds and all will have a whole lot of fun with this theme.

Little 'bars of soap' can be created by baking sugar cookies in a small rectangular shape. Fill an entire cake pan with your sugar cookie batter. Midway through baking, take out the pan and cut into rectangles. Once fully baked, frost your rectangles with a topping to match your shower's color palette. A serving table lined with a dark blue foil will complete your themed menu.

Bathing a baby is cute and fun- For this reason, people love this bath time theme.
Diaper Baby Shower
A diaper shower is practical and would be appreciated by any expectant mother.
A diaper baby shower is one of the more common baby sprinkles. The theme has this name because the most common gift given at this shower are diapers.

Wrap bars of scented soap in their little diapers. Create the diapers by folding sheets of pastel paper, taping the paper on the inside.
My Thoughts:
Request that guests gift the mother-to-be with diapers. Double-check with the mother to take note of what style she'll be using.
Pea In The Pod Baby Shower
One of the most famous shower ideas is the Pea in the Pod. This theme is ideal for welcoming in twins.
This idea is especially well-suited for twins, triplets, and beyond!

Here's a bit of 'baby face shower theme' trivia: Did you know that the Gerber baby wasn't a baby at all? The baby was a creation by Ann Turner Cook in 1928 to compete in a contest to create the Gerber baby image. Apparently, she won!
Carriage Baby Showers Theme
A carriage theme is beautiful, elegant, and simple to pull off!
A baby carriage, buggy or pram can only mean one thing – it's time to celebrate the coming baby.
Create invites using an image of a baby carriage or paper with a wicker print border.
The baby carriage theme is well suited for a shabby chic styled decor. Decorate your venue in soft pinks, mint greens and cream colors. Integrate wicker pieces in your decor. Give yourself extra points for finding a wicker baby carriage for your shower!
Games & Prizes:
For those having an outdoor shower, consider playing the "Protect the Egg" game.
Divide your guests into groups of two and arm them with ten plastic straws and a roll of masking tape. Have teams create a container for the egg using only the supplies provided. After the containers have been made, each team drops an unboiled egg onto their container from a height of 8 feet. If the egg doesn't break on impact, that team is a winner.
The Menu:
A baby carriage can be quite a beautiful thing. We think a pasta bar is a perfect fit. Serve a couple of your dishes within wicker containers.
- A variety of fresh pasta: Ravioli, spaghetti, gnocchi, tortellini, etc.
- A variety of pasta sauces: Pesto, Marinara, aioli, meat, etc.
- Fresh parmesan
- Top your menu off with a baby carriage cake.
Party Favors:
Have a specialty chocolatier create dark chocolate baby carriages – the perfect favor for this shower.
My Thoughts:
Consider giving the mom-to-be a lovely shabby chic inspired gift. Wrap your gift with strips of fabric for ribbons!
Puppy Baby Shower
Cute pups + cute babies = one cute theme!
No hostess will ever be in the dog house if she throws a puppy themed shower!
Cut out dog bone shapes from cream-colored construction paper. Print shower details on the back. Have your guests choose a dog or puppy name to use during the shower!
The artistic might consider sketching dogs from white paper, adding black spots and sending these 'dalmatian' invites.
Cut out paper bones and place around the room. Create a dog house from a cardboard box for guests to deposit gifts. You'll need a cutout of a hydrant. Display pictures of your favorite pooch to set the mood. If a little one is present, dress them up in dog costumes!
Games & Prizes:
Skip traditional games and bring in the groomers (not dog groomers- human!) Treat your guests to manicures, pedicures, facials, or other spa favorites.
The Menu:
Serve a variety of appetizers in (new and clean!) dog bowls
- Cereal party mix
- Guacamole
- Puppy Chow (Sweet, chocolate-covered grains)
Party Favors:
Fill a "doggie bag" with sweet treats and give to each guest.
My Thoughts:
Like animals but not dogs? Try a frog or farm animal theme.
Moon and Stars Baby Shower
Nothing could be cozier than a baby shower under the moon and stars.
Promise your guests the moon and stars – literally! This theme is best suited for an evening party.
Create your moon and star messages using dark blue construction paper, gold foil, and gold glitter.
This shower theme is best when with dimly lit surroundings. Cut moon and star shapes from dark blue and yellow construction paper, respectively. Keep your venue lit by white Christmas lights and tea candles. Gold accessories will top off your decorating.
Games & Prizes:
Play the unwrap the gift contest. Wrap your gifts in the moon, star or dark blue wrapping paper.
The Menu:
Stick to traditional fare, but serve a delicious gold punch. Here's the recipe.
- 32 oz. Unsweetened pineapple juice
- 32 oz. Unsweetened orange juice
- 6 oz. can frozen lemonade concentrate
- 1-quart ginger ale (add right before serving)
Finish your menu off by serving the moon, and star shaped sugar cookies, iced with a blue and yellow frosting.
Party Favors:
Send each guest back home with a box of Celestial Seasonings "Sleepytime Herb Tea."
My Thoughts:
If you have the possibility, celebrate under the night sky. You might want to ask the mom-to-be if the baby was conceived in a similar setting!
Comfort Food Baby Shower
This is all about eating!
Set your guest's expectations for your munch-fest by sending trial sample shower invitations. Include snack crackers or a small bag of peanuts.
This shower is all munching. Decorate your venue with glassware, plates and vintage crocks full of snack foods.
Games & Prizes:
Play any of these food-inspired games;
- Feed the baby game
- Candy bar memory concentration game
- Baby feeding race
The Menu:
Choose from any of these comfort foods:
- Macaroni and Cheese
- Stew
- Lasagna
- Fried chicken
- Mashed potatoes and gravy
- Chili
- Chocolate cake
- Chocolate chip cookies
Don't forget that comfort food means different things to different people. Ask the mother-to-be what her favorite comfort food is.
Otherwise, consider having each guest bring their favorite comfort food and having a potluck.
Party Favors:
Any yummy, homemade treat is a perfect party favor.
My Thoughts:
Want to spoil your guests? Give each one a jar of homemade jam.
Mexican Baby Shower
A Mexican theme is perfect for the hostess who craves something new and exciting.
This unique idea is quite easy to pull off. There's always a broad availability of Mexican food, goods, music and everything else in most areas.
Send out pinata letters. Include some Spanish on your invitation, like 'Estas invitada a la fiesta!' (You're invited to the party!)
Deck your venue out fiesta-style. Sombreros, confetti, and maracas are great ideas.
Add some tunes! Mexican music is very party-friendly. One of our favorite Mexican singers is Guadalupe Pineda.
Games & Prizes:
I love the idea of making a mommy-pinata for the mother-to-be. Fill a pinata with useful baby items (pacifiers, baby wipes, rattles, trial-sized lotions and powder and other small baby items) and start whacking! For the guests, include chocolates, shower gels, and other small party favors.
The Menu:
Depending on your budget, consider having your party catered. Otherwise, try
- Nacho Bar
- Tacos
- Burritos
- Fried Ice Cream
- Flan
Party Favors:
A jar of salsa would make a great favor!
My Thoughts:
This idea could be modified using other country themes. Other countries with food and supplies readily available are Spain, Japan, and China. This fiesta is bound to be a hit! Ole!
Birthstone Baby Showers Theme
Welcome, your little gem into this world by throwing a birthstone baby shower!
Send letters printed on paper in the color of the expected birthstone. Or go with standard invites, encouraging all to wrap their gifts in the color of the birthstone!
Decorate in the color of the baby's birthstone. Plates, napkins, streamers and other party details will need to be planned. This color chart will help you choose your party colors:
- January – garnet (dark red)
- February – Amethyst (light purple)
- March – Aquamarine or Bloodstone (light blue)
- April – Diamond (white or clear)
- May – (medium to dark green)
- June – pearl or moonstone (glossy white)
- July – Ruby (candy apple red)
- August – Peridot (light green)
- September – Sapphire (medium to dark blue)
- October – opal or tourmaline (glossy white)
- November – yellow topaz or citrine (orange)
- December – blue topaz or turquoise (light blue)
Games & Prizes:
Many shower games can be incorporated to fit your birthstone theme. The word scramble game can be modified to include objects with the color of the birthstone.
The Menu:
Include mints dyed to match the birthstone colors.
Serve a color-coordinated fruit salad. Expecting an August baby? Serve a light green kiwi and green apple salad.
Party Favors:
Give each guest jelly beans in a variety of gem tones. Package in a clear jar and topped with ribbon, and this party favor will be a visual delight.
My Thoughts:
Since it's impossible to know exactly when the baby will arrive, consider combining two birthstone colors! A baby coming in June or July could be thrown a party with a bright white and candy apple red color palette.
Those needing additional birthstone information can read our birthstones by month article.
Charitable Cause Baby Shower
Mom's favorite charity gets a boost with this innovative shower theme!
Let a charity benefit from your hosting!
They should state that the gifts will be given to a particular charity. The name of the charity and the type of gift should be indicated. In most cases, the gift would be a monetary donation. However, a food bank would be gifted food items, and a Toys-4-tots charity would be gifted toys.
If a chosen charity has a particular color, thread this color throughout your party's decor. For instance, a shower for breast cancer awareness would use a light pink.
Games & Prizes:
Choose from any of our games. Game winners can have donations made in their name.
The Menu:
Choose from any of our menu and food ideas.
Party Favors:
Once again, gifts to a charity can be given as shower favor. Read up on this guide to charitable donations as a shower favor.
My Thoughts:
There are many causes in this world nobler than giving an expectant mother her 13th onesie. Please consider making a charity the beneficiary of your baby shower. You'll be glad you did!
Belly Casting Baby Shower
A belly casting shower is themed around the activity of creating a pregnancy belly cast.
This theme is best suited for a small group of friends and family. As one might guess, this theme is based on the activity of creating a belly cast of your mom-to-be's torso. Belly casting is perfect for baby sprinkles which often have a smaller guest list.
Standard shower invitations are fitting for this theme. Since there is a slight chance guests could spill casting materials on their outfits, encourage all to avoid wearing formal wear!
The color palette for this theme should be a 'sculpture gray.' Create a perfect centerpiece from a small garden sculpture and flowers.
Games & Prizes:
The shower activity will have you creating a sculpture of mom's torso! Get the details at our guide to pregnancy belly casting.
The Menu:
A cake created with a 'sculpture gray' frosting would get raves. Create the cake in the shape of a baby.
Party Favors:
A baby bottle with gray candies would be fitting. Or consider the bouquet of pale candles.
My Thoughts:
The belly cast will be a treasured remembrance of a day spent with close friend and family.
Medieval Baby Showers
You're going to party like it's 1299!
Use gothic lettering on your invitations. Include a couple of Medieval words like thou, thine, hast and shalt.
Decorate with luxurious velvet fabric and gray party supplies. Gray balloon bouquets will drop hints of a castle. Play some Gregorian chants in the background for added effect.
Games & Prizes:
- Pin the tail on the dragon
- Dragon Pinata
The Menu:
Having actual foods eaten back in the 1500's would be a downer! Differentiate your list by naming each dish a type of grub.
- Fruity grub (fruit salad)
- Frosted grub cake
Create place cards printed with Gothic lettering.
Party Favors:
Give each guest a small gray candle.
My Thoughts:
The perfect way to hail a baby Arthur, Elizabeth or Xavier into the new world. (Or should we say old world!)
Flip Flop Baby Showers
This shower theme is a beachcomber's dream! This unique shower idea is themed around the greatest sandals ever, flip flops.
Does your honoree feel more at home in flip-flops than high heeled shoes? Does she love spending time on the beach? Is she laid back? Look no further!
Create flip flop invitations from bright poster board. Print party details on the sole of the sandal. Encourage all to come in their flip-flops and beach attire.
Use sand buckets, kites and beach balls to create your beach decor. Make a centerpiece by filling a glass vase with sand, water and seashells. Top your decor off with some beach-themed music.
Games & Prizes:
Have guests decorate their flip flops. This fun activity allows guests to take home a fun souvenir from the party.
The Menu:
Serve summertime fare such as;
- Lassi
- Homemade lemonade
- Sloppy Joes
- Ice cream bar
Party Favors:
Send guests home with pedicure favorites such as nail polish, pumice stones or a peppermint foot scrub.
My Thoughts:
Throwing your party in the summer? Check out our June, July and August themes.
United Nations Baby Shower
A United Nations theme is perfect for a multicultural crowd. Celebrate diversity and the arrival of your little globetrotter at the same time!
Bring your little jet setter into this world in style!
Send out sleek and chic invites. Instruct your guests to bring food from their homeland.
Create little flags of the home countries of your guest list. This will be a great way to make everyone feel at home. Display maps and place globes around your venue.
Games & Prizes:
- Decorate flip flops
- Birthday cards for the future
- Croquet
The Menu:
Your guests bring their 'homeland' dishes for the shower. Enjoy the diversity this menu provides! Top it off with an earth-shaped baby shower cake.
Party Favors:
Since multicultural crowds often have a heightened world awareness, consider the charitable donations shower favor.
My Thoughts:
Live this theme up by holding your shower at the United Nations! We doubt they'd let you but feel free to inquire for yourself. The UN is located at 760 United Nations Plaza, New York, NY 10017.

[This was originally posted August 2003 on the now-defunct vulns.com site before the Samy worm and sophisticated XSS attacks appeared. In the five years since this was first posted, web applications still struggle with fixing XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities. In fact, it's still possible to discover web sites that put raw SQL statements in URL parameters.]
With the advent of the Windows RPC-based worm, security pros once again loudly lament the lack of patched servers, security-aware power users once again loudly blast Microsoft for (insert favorite negative adverb here) written code, and company parking lots at midnight still have a few sticker-laden cars of sysadmins fixing the problem. Of course, there are a few differences such as Joe and Jane's home computers have been caught red-handed showing vulnerable ports (unlike SQL Slammer or the IIS worm of the month which targeted servers not usually found in home networks), but the usual suspects still linger.
In fact, we could diverge onto many different topics when talking about worms. For starters, what's the point of arguing against full disclosure when worms arise weeks (SQL Slammer, our RPC friend) or months (Nimda and Code Red) AFTER the patch has been released? Obviously, that sidesteps many arguments against full-disclosure but it's food for thought. What about the plethora of port scanners and one-time "freebie scanners" that security companies pump out to capitalize the hysteria? Yes, there are administrators who don't know what's on their network, but I'm willing to bet there's a larger number of administrators trying to figure out how to test, update, and manage a patch for 100, 1,000, or 5,000+ systems. You can't release a patch and expect it to be applied to 1,000 servers within 24 hours. The tools to manage the patch process are too few, while the number of scanners is overwhelming. That's not to say that security scanning isn't necessary — it's just a small part of the process. Administrators need help with patch testing, installation, and management.
Okay, so I've diverged onto a few topics already; but the one I wanted to highlight is what happens when a worm exploits a Web Application vulnerability? Cgisecurity.com has a nice essay on one concept of such a worm. How easily could one spread? It may not be hard with a SQL injection and xp_cmdshell(). Who will be the scapegoat? It probably won't involve cute references to "Billy Gates." You can't blame administrators for not being able to download a universal patch (although some ISAPI filters or Apache modules could prevent a lot of attacks). In the end, you have to return to the programmers. They must be aware that Web applications have vulnerabilities that don't fall into the bloated category of "Buffer Overflow."
Buffer overflows are sexy to report when they involve popular software. Plus, it's nice to see a group doing security research for fun. Yet when a worm finally targets Web applications, nmap and vulnerability scanners in the nature of nikto or nessus probably won't cut it when administrators want to check if their Web applications are vulnerable. Instead, they'll want web application-aware tools to check live systems and code review tools to audit the source code. The proliferation of buffer overflows has led to some useful code review tools and compilers that can spot a minority of potential overflow vulnerabilities. The OWASP is a good start. Hopefully, the tools to audit web applications and review source code will reach a point so that the next worm won't spread through e-commerce applications. Everyone talks about how much worse a buffer overflow-based worm could have been, but a worm that gathers passwords and collects credit card numbers from an e-commerce application has more implications for the average Internet user than a worm erasing a company's hard drives.

Several UK charities are making the most of new Internet meme the Harlem Shake to spread some fun and raise funds at the same time.
Kirsty Marrins, whose Google Analytics for charities report we featured yesterday, started collecting these charity Harlem Shake videos. Since at least one of the videos was created in response to the offer of a donation, she came up with the idea to raise more funds.
@rnli @macmillancancer I'm thinking people vote by texting a donation to the charity that they think 'shakes' better…
— Kirsty Marrins (@LondonKirsty) February 26, 2013
The #HarlemShakeCharityDanceOff was born. Charities assembled their text-to-give numbers and the voting has opened.
Here is Kirsty's account of the unusual competition.
And the lesson for other charities? While you don't have to – and shouldn't try to – get involved in every new Internet fad, these odd, daft fascinations can offer charity staff a chance to show themselves in a different light (ie. having fun), perhaps reach a different audience, and try to raise funds in an unusual and even hip way.
And if you want to see another charity making the most of this opportunity, albeit in a more serious way, have a look at The Worst Harlem Shake Ever from the Dutch Parkinsons Society (via @osocio):

VMware Workstation 5.5Features | Documentation | Knowledge Base | Discussion Forums
Overview of the VMware Workstation Window
A VMware Workstation virtual machine is like a separate computer that runs in a window on your physical computer. However, VMware Workstation displays more than the screen of a physical computer. From the Workstation window, you can access and run your virtual machines and teams, and switch easily from one to another.
This section shows you how to navigate and use the VMware Workstation window, and how to set up a list of favorites virtual machines and teams that you use often and want to access quickly
To open the Workstation application, see Launching VMware Workstation.
To create a new virtual machine and install a guest operating system, see Creating a New Virtual Machine.
One Window or Many Your Choice
In VMware Workstation 5, you can open multiple virtual machines in the same Workstation window. Or you can launch multiple instances of VMware Workstation. You can even run multiple instances of VMware Workstation and have more than one virtual machine in each window. Just be sure you have enough memory and processor power to handle the number of virtual machines you want to run.
The Workstation window is divided into three sections.
Workstation window sections: toolbar, favorites list, and home page/summary/console

Often times when people discuss whether a child is "ready" for Kindergarten the discussion is centered on academic skills such as letter recognition or counting. However there non-academic skills that are necessary for your child to have a successful start in school. One might argue they are more important than the academic skills often cited.
The ability to focus for 15 minutes — Many teachers have what is called circle time in the beginning of the school day. This may consist of singing songs, taking turns speaking, hearing a story or another activity. It requires that the child sit, focus and wait their turn to speak. Disruptions can throw the whole class off into a different direction. Take your child to a storytime activity at your local library or book store and observe his behavior to see if he is able to focus in a group setting.
The ability to let others shine — Classrooms can be crowded and teachers and the teacher's aide cannot focus on every child every moment of the day. Children need to understand that they will not always be the center of attention. They will not get called on everytime the teacher asks someone to share, or every time they raise their hand, they will not always get picked to be the monitor. This may have an emotional impact on children who may be used to more attention. Discuss letting others shine with your child and let them know that other opportunities will arise and to keep participating in class.
Sharing and collaborative play — Students in Kindergarten will often have to share supplies like glue, scissors, crayons, space on an art project, ert. They will also need to take turns with P.E. equipment like bikes and jump ropes. You can teach this skill to your child while they are playing with a friend or sibling, or during a trip to the park. Teach them the importance of community property at the park, and encourage them to share toys with friends at home.
Controlling impulses — Children need to know how to keep their hands to themselves and respect others' personal space. They also need to control impulses like speaking out of turn and resisting making funny noises or sounds when it is inappropriate.
Independence with self-care tasks — Things like zipping up a jacket, tying shoes, buttoning up a shirt, putting away a backpack, and cleaning up after themselves are very important. Teachers and their aides are not always available to help with these tasks and it can be frustrating for a child who is not able to complete them on their own. Work with your child with these types of activities and resist the urge to help them when they are struggling. Be patient and wait for them to figure things out on their own.
Recognition of authority figures — Children need to be able to follow the directions of adults who are not their parents, such as their teacher, teacher's aide, cafeteria workers, etc.
No separation anxiety — Separation may not be much of an issue if your child has been in daycare and or pre-school prior to attending kindergarten, but it might be if this is your child's first experience in a public or private school setting. A great way to facilitate a smooth separation is to use the "quick goodbye" technique. Children do better when a mom or dad drops them off quickly. Give a quick hug and say, "I'll see you soon. Have a great day." and leave. It is harder for children when parents linger in the classroom. Your child needs to know that you trust the teacher, and that he/she is safe and okay without you.
Bathroom etiquette — Of course children need to be potty trained, but they also need to be able to attend the restroom alone. They should be able to use the seat covers, wipe themselves, flush, lock the door, and implement good hand washing skills as well.

Maybe someone will post pics of Miss A's engine aftermath.
Per Mr. Hisey's post, he uses a builder other then Vintage? What about the machining? How many shops are still left rebuilding/machining V-12s?
I just went back and looked at that image, it's priceless! I love it!

Maybe someone will post pics of Miss A's engine aftermath.
Per Mr. Hisey's post, he uses a builder other then Vintage? What about the machining? How many shops are still left rebuilding/machining V-12s?
I can't describe how much I appreciate the pilots sharing their stories on this site. Thank you Dr. Hisey! And thanks so much for bringing Miss America to race. I look forward to seeing you at Reno 2020.
Doc, Greg, Scotty and TEAM - thank you so much for a taste of a Red White & Blue Victory Climb-Out...with pealing tape and all!!! : ) Incredible 11, love the mods that we can see and more-over the ones we cannot. Best wishes and so glad to watch online a safe recovery...and the Stocker in and running! Respectfully, Mitch et al
Next year sell some T-shirts and such. Every year we visits Sawbones pit, they always offer a great choice of colors and even kids and toddlers shirts.
I would gladly buy some Miss A stuff every year.
A Red, White & Blue Miss A would sell well.
Long and short sleeve Ts with pockets :-)
Over the years, various entities have tried to do this for the teams, thus far, to my knowledge, no one has really pulled it off.
Really too bad because some of the team merchandise over the years has been priceless!

Really appreciate the Miss A team engaging the public and pushing for the win when they could have coasted to second. The teams are what makes Reno great.
On the subject of shirts, Custom Ink has a very cool fundraising feature. Basically everyone pre-orders a shirt and all profits go to the fundraiser. So long as you meet the minimum order there is no cost or risk to the team and you aren't left with extra inventory afterwards. We raised enough money last year on hoodies to help with crew travel expenses.
Another option (and this was discussed earlier this year with the so-called RARA tax) is to have a shirt supplier like Dan Angelo be an official member of the team. Then he sells most if not all his Miss A sirts through the pits like Sawbones does. Valley of Speed stills sells shirts. He is officially a "team member" and the teams don't pay RARA anything like regular vendors do so that extra difference goes to the team. That would be low effort for the Miss A team (or any team) because now they don't even have to design or print or sell the shirts.

Something special about buying merchandise pit side directly from the team. A lot of teams have done this, Dago, Rare Bear, Strega, VooDoo, Precious Metal, Sawbones, etc.
The really good designs become classics and have a special place in my closet and worn only on special occasions.
Just to name a few, Rare Bear black long sleeve, Dago red red long sleeve, the Precious metals Ts in high impact colors purple, blue & yellow, Pole Dancer, Strega Ts, and lots of Sawbones T shirts. My son still has a red Dago hoodie that he wears on special occasions. Wish I would have bought one.
I have been thinking of merchandise for Miss A for a couple years, wishing I could get some stuff.
I would be willing to help set something up, if the team was interested in trying it.

5 Common Oriental Rug Cleaning Mistakes
An oriental rug is often a room's statement piece. It can complement furniture, give the space character and even be used to hide imperfections in your flooring. It's often a talking point when visitors notice and admire the hand-woven work of art. It's a household item to be treasured, and should be treated with care.
Caring for oriental rugs does pose challenges, however. They're large, awkward and heavy to clean, and many aren't aware of the correct cleaning practices. Oriental rug cleaning needs to be done properly. If it isn't, the rug may continue to harbor dirt and bacteria. Poor cleaning practices can harm your rug and shorten its lifespan.
To get the most out of your oriental rug, clean smart by learning to avoid these five rug cleaning mistakes.
Not Enough Water
Water is an essential part of the cleaning process. Since oriental rugs are stain resistant, they are designed to resist liquids. This means ample water is needed to soak through the fabrics and adequately rinse the fibers.
What to do: Use extra water when cleaning, then leave your rug outside to dry completely.
Wrong Cleaning Solution
Just like there are specific cleaning solutions and detergents for white clothes, dark clothes, wool, silk and such, there are special solutions for cleaning oriental rugs. Attempting to clean these rugs with a solution from a local grocery store can harm the fibers and colors.
What to do: Purchase a solution created for oriental rugs—specifically one that will prevent bleeding afterwards.
Wait Too Long Between Cleanings
Once dirt and bacteria settle into an oriental rug's fibers, the more difficult it is to get them out, just like with other carpeting and fabrics. Don't delay cleaning your rug. Oriental rugs left without cleanings long-term are more likely to become damaged and faded.
What to do: If you notice a stain, it's time to start cleaning.
Skip the Professional Cleaning
DIY cleaning jobs don't match those of professional rug cleaners. Professionals are equipped with the knowledge and experience in cleaning all types of oriental rugs, and they utilize high-powered equipment built specifically for the job. Furthermore, professional rug cleaning services employ a thorough process and inspection to ensure your rug meets their high standards.
What to do: Opt to use a professional rug cleaning service now and then to maintain the quality, color and cleanliness of your oriental rug.
Use Deodorizing Powders
Store-bought deodorizing powders do not have anti-bacterial properties, nor do they have the ability to remove stains. Their purpose is solely to remove bad odors. Using these powders to clean your rug is insufficient.
What to do: Follow the four suggestions above to properly clean your rug and you shouldn't need to turn to deodorizing powders.
Keep your oriental rug well-maintained and you will be able to enjoy its colors and character for years to come.

By Kyle O'DonnellWhile making it in Hollywood seems like the impossible dream, just getting an agent to respond to an email or a phone call can be a fairytale itself.
For aspiring actors, getting access to agents is a difficult and time-consuming process. That's where one industry has emerged in Los Angeles – marketing companies that match potential talent with agents.
These marketing companies help actors to get headshots and resumes in the hands of agents.
Ian Michaels, an actor and filmmaker whose acting credits include "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "High Fidelity", originally moved to Los Angeles in 2001 after graduating from Loyola University Chicago.
In 2009, he started Padded Envelopes, a company that sends headshots and resumes to agents and talent directors.
With classes and research for roles, actors do not have the time to put into mailing out headshots and contacting agents, Michaels said. Often the creative mindset of an actor does not matchup with the business mindset.
Kara Ortiz, owner of AMP Subs, originally moved to Los Angeles in 2000 and founded her company in 2010. She found success as an actor, but it only took up so many hours in the day, she said.
"I have been very successful as an actress and been very blessed," she said. But Ortiz also wanted to help others find success.
"They don't have to do everything on their own," she said about the need to try to make business connections.
Michaels said that the goal for Padded Envelopes is to increase the exposure for an actor.
Most of the company's clients eventual sign with an agent, he said.
Padded Envelopes sets its limit at 80 clients at a time, and the goal is to have constant turnover as actors sign with agents, Michaels said.
Most clients should be with Padded Envelopes for only three months before they've moved on to representation, he said. If a client is with Padded Envelopes for four months, that's his clue that the company needs to figure out what's not working in order to best serve the client.
The company's services range from customized postcards for casting directors to headshots and resume services, according to Padded Envelopes' website. Postcard services cost $115 to design, print and send 100 postcards, while basic resume service is $75 per month with an initial fee of $120.
Ortiz said that AMP Subs currently has about 200 clients, but it can take on as many as 300 aspiring actors.
AMP Subs charges $125 for the first month and $50 for each additional month, according to its website. A four-month commitment is $225 for the first four months and $150 for the next four months.
Michaels said that the industry is filled with rejection, and actors need to treat their craft like any day job. Success requires hard work.
"It's like anything else, but tenfold," Michaels said about acting.
Any sort of tool that can help an actor needs to be used.
"They need to take that opportunity," he said.
Michaels admitted that some aspiring actors aren't so realistic. If a prospective client wants a regular gig on a television show and representation by Creative Arts Agency within six months, Padded Envelopes will probably pass, he said.

Located closer to Kathmandu valley, Shivapuri day hiking is popular as an absolute choice to get just away from the valley and its lifestyle in order to shift into a country life. A newly established national park closest to Kathmandu valley offers a vast range of flora and fauna. The serene and deep and dense forest has been a dominant shelter to a great variety of wildlife including some of the endangered species.
Buddhanilkantha, an incarnated holy shrine of Lord Vishnu, a popular Hindu pilgrimage site is the commencing point of this hiking after half an hour drive from The notable attraction of Budhanilkantha is a huge sleeping shrine of lord Vishnu in the pond. Hundreds of Hindu devotees go to this pilgrimage site every day. Then the hikers will ascend to the Shivapuri hill passing a renowned Buddhist monastery, then through the deep and serene forest and you can enjoy an absolutely astonishing view of the Langtang and Mustang and the proud Manaslu at the same time. Besides, there are a number of vantage points for Mountain View on the trail. The hill is also a mine for fresh and clean drinking water. It is the water supplier to the Kathmandu valley. Your descent next to the holy Bagmati River takes us to the alluring viewpoint of Nagarkot on the edge of the Kathmandu valley.
Most significantly, this trek is famous for rich insights into Buddhist and Hindu cultures, alluring and panoramic views of Langtang and Manaslu and a great deal of species of wildlife and woods.

God Killer Rox! Thanks to first atempt Light Kali this was a joke with:
Awoken Archdemon Lucifer
Chaotic Flying General, Lu Bu
Awoken Pandora,
Wailing Bleak Night Goddess, Pandora
Marvelous Red Dragon Caller, Sonia
Awoken Archdemon Lucifer
All Max Level, Plus eggs, and skill basicly (1 skill up short on Awoken Pandora and Lucifer)
F1: Ronia and Lucifers if needed for more dark orbs.
F2: Work down resilence and stall for Ronia. Non row six orb activations if needed for damage control, Pandora if you need to heal or hearts for row unbinds and to finish sub 50%.
F3: If Light Kali: Ronia, Luifers if needed for dark orbs (used 1 to get to 16 dark), Lu Bu, Enjoy Badpi. Good luck if its Dark Kali ;)

Thanks for the build, I cleared it on the first try even with DKali spawn (1HKO). Only leaders and APandora were hypermaxed.

Challenge dungeon?
More like CHALLENGE DESPAIR.
Just not to waste 100 stamina, You will need:
- >25556 Hp
- A board change/poison convert active (And consequently 7-9 skill boosts( Kali-Norns/Chinese))
- High Recovery (You'll need to recovery if you want to survive Kalis for more than 2-3 turns.
- 20M DAMAGE on floor 3 (Or a Double Kirin/Hathor or Zera gravity(Good luck with that))
... Or stones.
moplyPAD 5 years ago ( 8.4.1 )
*sigh* I'll get the mop...
There's gonna be a lot of tears...
Firecat 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
You forgot the 297 Ra Dragon team of 2x D Kali Indra A Isis with 5 light resist latents or 9 dark resist latents. That lets you tank the 65%+ hit with Indra making it a joke.
Reverb 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
So basically a job for Awoken Luci
Minori 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
A well-developed Awoken Sakuya team should do well here. Kali active deals with Beelz, DIza deals with Goemon (ideally you have enough HP to tank his rage hit with shield up), and Sakuya gravities deal with Kali. I used Sakuya / LKali / DKali / DIza / Ama / Sakuya to clear Arena 1 on the last day it was up and I'll probably use the same team for this C10.
Seg in reply to Firecat 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
Goemon is the problem for that team. getting him below 30% means death or him healing back up so forget about hitting your full combo. hitting for less than your full combo means you have to tank about two or three hits while working him below 50%. since you need to save indra for kali, popping him on goemon is risky because you'll only have one turn of shield before you need to be on Kali. it's all do-able but you have to be precise and one wrong skyfall will mess up the whole run.
Cobalt314 in reply to Seg 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
There's also the option of using Isis to tank minor hits while whittling him down, or using Indra when you know you'll get him to ~10% and can finish him off later. The latter also saves 1 turn for Kali's nuke.
By BiggestFan 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
Wow I'm really digging these 3 floor challenges, could clear them all in one night without falling asleep
★Liao24★ 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
Agreed, or clear them while going to school/work.
By Bob 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
This might actually be harder than Arena seeing as you only have 3 floors to charge up skills.
By Valk 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
100 stam for a bubpy... I might as well have run Arena again
By El Rayo 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
this is definitely looking like an Awoken Arch Luci run! that god killer does wonders against Kali and if the light one spawns 3 rows will do the job. Super stoked for this set! I think this c10 may be rough for Thor. Not enough time to stall unless you're brave enough to stall on goemon for a gravity for L Kali lol.
Edit: Beat it with Thor/Saria and got D Kali to spawn. Subs were Pollux, Awoken Venus, DQ, and L Meta. fl1 used Pollux and Venus, danced with Goemon for a bit, then spike D Kali hard first turn with Thor active and a Saria/Pollux enhanced board. Then beat her down for a bit until skills charged and spiked hard for the kill. Good luck peeps and fellow Thor users :)

LUCK required: 100/100
By Rydeen 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
did it with:
NY Tengu (for skill boosts)
All hypermaxed except Tengu
R1: Pollux (won't kill) then Apoc or Saria.
R2: Sakuya gravity plus whatever light on the board. Plink away at him to get him under 50% (preferably like 35-40%) while tanking and healing. If you get trolled for hearts GG. If you take him below 30% GG. When all skills up and you are not bound take him out with Apoc or Saria plus Thor probably need two rows minimum or a row plus combos and TPAs.
R3: Sakuya, Apoc or Saria plus Pollux. This should get Kali below 65%. Smooth sailing from here. Just grind her down to something 5-20% health then Sakuya plus Apoc or Saria plus Pollux and Thor for the win.
By NinjaXue 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
Successful and fairly straightforward with:
Awoken Ama
Unleashed Nordis
Valkryie Rose
Awoken Thor
Saria, Ama, and Thor were hypermaxed and everything else at least max awoken, Apocalypse with 5 skill-ups. Skill delay-resist latent awakenings are useful if you have them, but I didn't.
Floor 1: A close-to-max-skilled Ama should be up immediately, use to bring up max-skilled Saria or Apocalypse to clear poisons. You can stall a little if you're lucky with heal orbs or just clear him quickly. Make sure you can tank Goemon's preemptive once you clear.
Floor 2: Stall until Nordis is up. This will be the biggest hurdle; the build doesn't have many time-extends, so move fast. Pop skills as needed to heal or make hearts. Clear preferably with one board changer up and Thor at least on the second turn of his active effect, plus Valk if possible for insurance.
Floor 3: Pop Nordis, then you'll need to cover about 1.5 mil HP to avoid death, which shouldn't be too bad. After that, stalling here is actually much easier than the first two floors (especially when Apocalypse clears the blinding moves for you), so grind down to whatever you're comfortable with, pop Nordis again for extra insurance if he's up, then spike the rest.
By AJ 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
Requires using one stone, but here was my reasonably safe A. Minerva build:
A. Minerva +30
Ronia +297
Scorch. Uriel +297
Santa Hera
A. Hera-Ur +24
A. Minerva +297
Floor 1, full poison board->stone. Grind down to 50%, can use Minerva's to speed this up (I saved Uriel as a heal back-up), then shiva+Hera-Ur. This team is row-heavy so match those to go faster. Floor 2, grind down and ronia when you get him down <30%. Floor 3, use both Heras to get <65%, then prepare for the slowest and trickiest floor. Grind away until 10-15% then start thinking about having ronia and Hera-Ur ready when a skill-bind ends and you can use them (can be tricky with the cd+ moves). I got lucky and found an opening after a while, but you may need to go till 5%, stone, and then use the skills to finish it. Good Luck!
P.S. It might be possible to zero-stone with a similar build if you sub Uriel for a poison orb changer like a max skilled Red Guan Yu (I didn't have one).
By ★Liao24★ 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
I love these 3 boss dungeons, great for busy people like myself!
By oZem 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
I did it with:
Yomi Dragon +297
Awoken Archdemon Lucifer (because of the x3 SB) +1
Zeus Stratios +297
Awoken Haku +297
Akechi +297
Yomi Dragon +297
Make sure you meet the HP threshold against Goemon.
F1: Haku > Akechi > burn
F2: Yomi Dragon > put him quickly under 80% and recover at least 22k. And stall until Zeus is ready and kill him.
F3: Zeus. Attack her until 20%. Haku > Akechi to finish her off

By ♡Ameto♡ 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
So I just beat this lightning fast with my Awoken Pandora team:
Awoken Pandora (3x extends, 2x SDR)
B/D Karin (rainbow resist)
Awoken Anubis (rainbow resist)
Awoken Loki (3x dark resist, 1x SDR)
Awoken Tsukuyomi (4x extends)
Awoken Pandora (rainbow resist)
All hypermaxed, ~44k HP
Floor 1: Anubis + Yomi. Dead.
Floor 2: Pandora + 16x. I was planning on just leaving him a bit under 50% so I could stall my Yomi back up but I miscalculated and did enough damage to take him to like 10% HP. He used True Fireworks, but I had full HP and I tanked it. I had enough orbs to do 9x the following turn and it killed him.
Floor 3: LKali. Karin + Pandora + Loki + 16x + 2 rows + 7 combo. Dead. Though I noticed that without Yomi's active I did just 31.5m damage, which means that if I had one combo less I would probably leave her just under 5% and get killed myself, that was close >_>
It was a good run though, was not expecting to beat it on the first try.

By Joethenew 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
I don't know if this would actually work but if you made a light row bursting team with a Angel of Creation Raphael then You could get soak the first 2 hits from Kali and you should be able to do enough damage to get it under 65% after the 50% reduction wears off just an idea to throw out there
By donnyb 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
Just did this with a strange team:
Awoken Viper O
super ult Beelzebub
awoken loki
D/B Okuninusi
Light Kali
F1: Lkali active + Okun active. Clears board and gives me 2 turns to burst down
F2: Viper O LS keeps me alive - OHKO then repeat to stall for skills. Once skills were up, I took him down past resolve then finished him
F3: Lkai + Eschamali + Beezle + Loki = ~40 mil dark dmg. Thankfully it was Lkali and not Dklai
By Greg! 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
Okay, I actually managed to beat this after a few tries. And I'm shaking.
Awoken Lucifer (+297, max skilled)
Awoken Pandora (+297, only skill lvl 3)
D.Meta (max skilled only)
Castor (skill level 1!!)
D/W Persephone (max skilled only)
Had 40,562 HP, and decent RCV.
FLOOR 1: With all the Skill Boosts the team had, my Castor (no +eggs and skill ups) was already up by then. Use Castor + D.Meta to finish easily.
FLOOR 2: This is a bit tricky. Try to stall up for D.Meta, as she will be very helpful in the next floor. As much as possible, try only using Lucifer, as you'll need Pandora and Persephone for the last floor. The problem here is running out of Heart Orbs. Use Lucifer if you need additional 3 Dark Orbs to proc. You might want to get him past the 80% HP threshold, and the 50% threshold later on. Good luck with this floor!
FLOOR 3: I got L.Kali (luckily!). If you managed to get D.Meta up, that's great. Pandora + Persephone + D.Meta, and it got L.Kali down to ~55%. Another 6 orb match got her down to ~40%. I managed to stall enough for Castor to be up again. Waited for a few Dark Orbs, and Poison orbs to be generated. Luckily, by stalling, Persephone, both Lucifers, and D.Meta were already up. Castor for Heart + Poison to Dark, Persephone for Light to Dark, Lucifer for +3 Orbs, and D.Meta for Enhance. Finish off!!
EDIT: Awesome job by admin when editing posts! You guys got rid of the < br > codes lol

Do you guys think this could be done with a Grodin/Ama team?
Reverb in reply to Pweebuser 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
I'm pretty sure he was joking, look at one of the comments above his
Pweebuser 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
I don't get it, did Grodin's leader skill get upgraded or what ? The only possible way to clear this using tvat build is one : having lots of high HP monsters and more importantly Grodin being able to reduce consecutive hits, and as far as I remember he only reduced the first consecutive hit.
Pweebuser in reply to Reverb 4 years ago ( 8.6.2 )
Oh cuz I am seeing all these comments asking on almost every hard challenge about this build, is Grodin Ama the new troll trend now ?

Menendez Brothers Reunite
The above cases were thrust into the minds of millions of Americans in the late 1980's and mid 1990's, thanks to around-the-clock coverage by major news outlets. For probably the first time in history, the average citizen was able to weigh in on what was happening inside a courtroom. Few can deny the far-reaching impact that the O.J. and Menendez brothers trials had on the American public.
Concerning the former, few high-profile cases went so far to split the American public; regardless if Simpson was thought to be guilty or not, sides were taken. When jurors read O.J.'s verdict aloud, it was like one half of the nation rejoiced while the other was angered. The Menendez brothers' murder cases were an entirely different animal than the O.J. trial, perhaps the public's fascination stemmed from their disbelief: how could two young men with the world at their fingertips conspire to murder their sleeping parents savagely? The answer to the question will never be fully understood.
The Menendez Brothers Reunite
In the last 365 days, O.J. Simpson was released from a Nevada prison after serving nine years for crimes unrelated to the double murders; and, the Menendez brothers, Lyle (50) and Erik (47), reunited at San Diego's R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility. It's the first time the brothers have been housed to together since the trial when Lyle was 21 and Erik was 18, CBS News reports. Today, and thanks to good behavior, the brothers are participating in educational and rehabilitation programs together.
"The department could find no reason they could not be in the same prison," corrections department spokeswoman Terry Thornton told the New York Daily News.
Thornton points out that former crime partners living under the same prison roof or sharing a cell are not unprecedented.

If you are managing multiple websites and don't consider yourself a very good writer, then you can't expect to provide top-notch content in each of your sites. Instead of cramming these tasks into your already busy schedule, the best solution for this problem is to hire outsourced content writers. By having a dedicated writer for each site, you can focus all your efforts on developing your marketing strategy and leveraging your website analytics to improve the performance of your sites.
However, upon outsourcing writers whom you can find from premium content writers (Textbroker), brand storytellers (Skyword), or even from essay writing sites (Bid4papers) comes a new challenge: managing these writers to deliver high-quality work on time. You will experience problems in this regard, especially if this is your first time hiring writers for your websites.
But collaborating with outsourced content writers will never be an obstacle if you only know how to deal with them. It all starts with having the right mindset and set expectations to guide you with handling these writers. Below are tips and advice on the expectations you need to set with your website writers.
