for a Love of All Things Pretty
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I grew up in a family of gardeners. My Mimmie has always had a veritable oasis in the dry heat of West Texas. And yes, tumbleweeds really did blow down the street of the my childhoold home. My mother took to gardening also and I remember most these humongous climbing rose bushes that covered the fence. They were so heavy with red roses that I could sneak several and no one could ever tell they were missing! I remember roller skating up and down the sidewalk while my Momma planted marigolds all in a pretty row and visiting the plant nursery with my grandmother every single weekend.
So it was quite distressing to learn that the green thumb gene apparently skipped me. I would desperately try to have a beautiful garden and something would go wrong despite my best intentions.
And like I always seem to do when things seem to go wrong, I called my Mimmie. And her advice was to simply to Miracle-Gro the heck out of everything. That first year my Elephant ears were truly elephant sized and my little marigolds and petunias grew, and grew and bloomed and bloomed. It was truly amazing and I totally understood that Gro Something Greater!
And ever since, when I garden, Miracle-Gro is just a part of the plant growing process for me… like dirt or water! How about you? Do you have any stories or experience with Miracle-Gro? Does the beauty of your garden depend on it like mine does? I'd love to hear and so would the good garden loving people over at growsomethinggreater.com!

 Jeff Hirsch, editor of the perennial must-read Stock Trader's Almanac, has written a new book, "Super Boom: Why the Dow Will Hit 38,820 and How You Can Profit From It." Now, the market historians among you may be quick to file Hirsch's latest effort with bubble-era tomes predicting stocks' straight shot to the stratosphere. You may want to check that cynicism at the door in this case. Here are some reasons why: *Hirsch's father is the legendary Yale Hirsch, famous for a call to buy stocks in the late '70's. Yale caught a mere 20-year bull market, which took the Dow 1,447% higher. Jeff's spent a lifetime at the knee of the legend and is using much the same logic here. 500Chart *Unlike the books of the '90's, Hirsch is making his prediction after an extended period of market sound and fury signifying no meaningful gains for over a decade. Making the case for meaningful gains in the face of global unrest and entirely justifiable investor skepticism is entirely different than selling books to day-trading housewives. *Hirsch's work makes sense if you actually read it. It's not just me saying so -- renowned smart-guy cynics such as Dougie Kass and Barry Ritholz agreed strongly enough to endorse the book at length. The three of us aren't given to hyping that which we don't believe. *Hirsch is offering a specific time line which, like that of his father before him, isn't a howling cry to "Buy Now or Miss the Rally!" In both the book and on set, Jeff was willing to stick his neck out and offer specifics. Right or wrong, I respect the guy's guts and his reasoning. Agree or disagree, it's an interview worth watching. Below is Jeff's outlook in graph form. Take it in, watch the clip with Nesto and me, and, as always, let us know what you think.

Everyday Life and Learning with Jean Lave
Date: 3/26/2012; 57 minutes
Social anthropologist Jean Lave argues that all theoretical problematics across the social sciences include assumptions about learning, whether explicitly or not. She says that learning is integral to conceptions of knowledge, inquiry, revolution, and changing practice, to name a few. Accordingly, social scientists have substantive stakes in the issue historical, cultural, spatial, political, and social. (#23201)

Colorado Senate Passes Anti-Iraq War Resolution
The Colorado Senate passed a "statement" against troop escalation, in an entirely pointed display of political grandstanding that accomplishes little except putting the state's Democratic delegation on record as opposing the war. As if that was ever in doubt.
It passed along party lines--no surprise there:
The resolution, which now goes to the House, passed on a straight party-line vote, with 20 Democrats in favor and 14 Republicans opposed.More quotes (video):
. . .
"The war in Iraq has dragged on for five years," said Sen. Ron Tupa, D-Boulder, co-sponsor of the measure. "Certainly, when we have Colorado lives on the line, it's appropriate for us to weigh in on the issue."
. . .
Littleton Republican Sen. Mike Kopp, an Army veteran who served in the first Gulf War, said he has received letters from soldiers in Iraq who complain that the resolution diminishes their sacrifices.
"We can chose the politics of abandonment or loyalty to our troops," he said.
"If you have an opinion in a democracy, you have to say it," said Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon (D-Denver), one of the sponsors of the memorial. "Silence is consent and I don't consent."Jason Bane believes that despite the resolution having absolutely no legal effect, it is important to put into the record that the Colorado legislature opposes the administration's policies.
. . .
"We are not qualified to opine on force levels," said Sen. Steve Ward (R-Arapahoe County). "We have no particular expertise regarding the need for or against escalation. We are not experts on national security or the tools needed to achieve it."
That would matter if the resolution received unanimous or even broadly bipartisan support. The fact that the resolution was passed entirely on party lines makes it clear that the resolution represents the view of Colorado's Democrats, not the state legislature. A fine but important point of difference.

Left untreated, hammertoe can progress, or worsen, over time, causing a toe to bend permanently at the middle joint. Pelisyonkis Langone physicians recommend simple lifestyle strategies, such as wearing the correct size shoes, to prevent symptoms from worsening. They also recommend physical therapy as you recover from surgery to correct hammertoe.
The best way to prevent hammertoe from getting worse or returning after surgery is to avoid tight, pointy shoes. Doctors recommend shoes that have roomy toe boxes, meaning there should be a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the tip of the shoe. Many people find that footpads or orthotic inserts make even well-fitting shoes more comfortable. Our doctors and orthotics specialists can recommend the best product for you based on your symptoms.
Knowing your shoe size is also important. As people age, the size of the feet can change. Doctors recommend having your feet measured regularly to ensure that any shoes you buy fit properly. If you have a difficult time finding shoes that fit well, our orthotics specialists can custom fit a pair for you.
Doctors recommend resting your feet regularly, especially if your job requires standing for long periods of time. They also recommend examining your feet every day to see if hammertoe has caused any physical changes. These may include calluses, which are areas of thickened skin, and corns, which are hard lumps that may form on or between toes. Blisters, which are fluid-filled pockets of skin, may also develop as a result of hammertoe. If these physical changes occur, our doctors can recommend treatment.
If you have a medical condition that affects sensation in the feet, such as diabetes, doctors recommend that you inspect your feet daily for cuts or blisters. If shoes rub against skin on the toes or foot, the resulting blisters can turn into open sores.
Because diabetes may reduce a person's ability to feel pain, a foot wound may go unnoticed and become infected. Without treatment, an infected wound poses a significant risk of additional foot problems.

Well this is not at all what I had intended. I had hoped that, when I persuaded the Convener to become a Blogger, that would be the end of it; but now it seems that I bear the responsibility of turning his idle Doric ramblings into something that everyone can understand. This marks the interface between Diversity and Equality, however I must point out that there are occasions where no English equivalent is available for Doric vocabulary but I'll do my best to maintain the sense (or nonsense!) of the text. Here goes ……
"Nigel! Nigel! – come through to my office a minute"
"What's up Convener?"
"It's this thingymablog thing – it's not working!"
"Not working Convener?"
"No – nobody understands a word I'm saying. Here's Rupert, being very kind about what I'm trying to do but the poor man's not got the foggiest idea what I'm on about!"
"Oh dear, Convener"
"Oh dear precisely! – It was your blessed idea!! What are we going to do?"
"Well Convener, I do agree that I should take some responsibility, but it seemed like such a good idea. Perhaps I could tidy it up a bit – you know – take out some of the more unusual expressions?"
"Not on your Nellie, Nigel!" 'That's the way I speak and I'm trying to communicate in my mother tongue"
"But Rupert's right Convener. There's little point of trying to get a message out if it sounds like Greek to a large section of your intended audience."
"Don't mention the Greeks! They're in a right mess as well. But we'll have to do something."
"Well maybe I could provide an alternative version – you know, on my own blog."
"What? Have a Nigel's blog as well?"
"Yes Convener"
"Not a bad idea - then when someone's having a bit of difficulty with the Doric they can still get the message somewhere else. A bit like having a Google Translate for Doric?
"Yes Convener"
"Well that should please Rupert – I hope he doesn't bear a grudge. Bear a grudge – Rupert – do you get it?"
"Unfortunately yes, Convener"

About 8,800 Horse-on-a-Stick Toys were recalled. The reins on horse-on-a-stick toy's bridle are long enough to form a loop around a child's head and neck, posing a strangulation hazard to young children.
CPSC has received one report of a near strangulation involving a 2-year-old boy who became entangled in the reins at his neck. The boy's mother freed him without injury.
This recall involves horse-on-a-stick toys with a bridle and reins. The toys are filled with polyester fiber and have a fluffy mane. The horse's ears are embroidered with the words "PRESS HERE" in red. The horse makes neighing and galloping sounds when the ears are pressed.
The recalled toys were sold at Love's Travel Stop and Country stores nationwide from May 2010 through July 2010 for about $6.
Consumers should immediately remove or cut the reins to eliminate the hazard. Consumers also can contact Big Ideas Marketing for instructions on how to remove the reins.
For additional information, contact Big Ideas Marketing toll-free at (888) 908-8697 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.bigideasmarketing.com.

Junior to the rest of the Lonesome Heroes, Roger Lewis was just a teen amid the cultural revolution that inspired most of their songs. Born in 1960 in Santa Barbara, California, Lewis slung a guitar as early as the fourth grade. The private Laguna Blanca School's confines roped Lewis into kinship with Wade Vesey—one of only 17 students in his 1978 graduating class. Despite the academy's meager population, the hillside school proved to be fertile ground. Much of Lewis and Vesey's songwriting fruit was performed for friends in intimate settings, exchanged and advanced by a loose collective. One alumnus operated a rudimentary studio and gave the duo a shot at cutting a few compositions. They'd dipped toes into the deep end of recording, but college was of higher priority than fully tracking any material out.
In fall 1978, Roger Lewis headed north to Stanford. William Ackerman and George Winston had found in this patch of farmland a source of inspiration, but Lewis was only intimidated. He trained his attentions on science, but summers put him back in the comfort of familiar surroundings, and Lewis emerged from his shell, writing and recording a number of songs with Vesey over several years. "Autumn" is a fragile gem about the bittersweet nature of getting older, Lewis' only solo piece on the duo's Breaking Camouflage LP. None of the 300 pressed copies were ever sold; every one was given away to friends and family, as a yearbook-style memento of their decade-spanning friendship. Roger Lewis and Wade Vesey remain friends to this day.

The new world of data is vastly different from anything we have known and will continue to evolve at a record pace. The Internet of Things (IoT) has a promising future and will play a significant role in this evolution. While having access to all of this data is exciting, there are a number of complexities that come with new technology. To develop value-driven IoT solutions, you must think differently about how you bring products to market. Asking these five key questions will be crucial to successful and profitable engagement in the world of IoT:
- What is the problem you are trying to solve? When developing an IoT solution or any product for that matter, you need to start at the same place and understand what problem you are trying to solve. Once you have a hypothesis of the problem and have validated you are solving the right problem, then you can begin to develop and refine a solution. Market intimacy will be necessary to achieve problem-solution fit. The value proposition canvas is a great tool to help facilitate this process.
- What data do you need to deliver to solve the problem and how can you present the data in a meaningful way? Many solutions in the market today are standalone solutions requiring customers to manage multiple apps and data sources to solve a broader problem. When developing an IoT solution, you should be thinking more broadly about how your interface might integrate into an existing platform or how you might develop a platform for others to use as an integration point. The goal with these new streams of data is to help simplify, not create additional complexities. Always test and iterate concepts with your customers before doing any significant development.
- What needs to be coupled with the delivery of data to ensure behavior change to solve the problem at hand? Data by itself can create more complexity, unless you also design a solution that helps customers apply the data to solve the problem. All too often, products are launched with this claim of solving a problem. Yet, they end up creating complexity by adding more steps in a process or more time to analyze the data. They don't effectively solve the customer's problem, but exasperate it. Consider advanced analytics to help visualize data or services to help your customers understand how to modify behaviors and processes with the data.
- Have you built enough security measures into your IoT solution and are you ready to partner with your customers to ensure the right security plans are in place? Security is becoming a larger concern. We have already seen several examples of corporate systems being compromised from weaknesses in smart building control systems. Up until now, many IT departments have been concerned with the security of moving to the cloud and now have to think about the perimeter. This creates a different kind of risk that needs to be managed. As a developer, security prompts need to be designed into multiple layers of the IoT solution.
It is also important to ensure that your customers are asking the right questions when installing and integrating multiple control systems. The world is moving to IoT environments and your customers need to be comfortable with this evolution, no matter how risky it seems. Devices that offer data will be everywhere. In order to ensure market growth and penetration, your role will be not only to sell the IoT solution, but to help users understand how to deploy multiple connected devices and provide security with broader distributed access.
- What role will you play in an IoT ecosystem? Are you an orchestrator of an ecosystem or do you simply act as a participant and contributor of value in the ecosystem? Start by mapping the ecosystem as it exists today and understand the key players and their roles. Decide what role your company and solution will play. You may determine that the ecosystem requires collaboration with others in and outside the industry…and even competitors. In fact, in this new frontier, you may be the first to develop an ecosystem in your given industry. Know that this will take time, but if done right, could deliver the most value for your customer. Collaboration will be a critical capability in determining success.
Connecting people with their physical and digital environments will be a requirement in the future. Most importantly, development of IoT solutions must solve a problem and help individuals and businesses change behaviors to solve the problem – or no value will be delivered. Partner with your customers and other key players in the ecosystem to help ensure faster market adoption and quicker return on investment.

The most important consideration for buying a graphics card is the model number, which is derived based on the graphics processor, clock rates and memory bandwidth. Higher numbered/newer models are almost always superior to older models, regardless of other specs.
Memory size is largely irrelevant when choosing a graphics card. Bandwidth is a much more significant factor in the quality of a graphics card. GDDR5 memory offers twice the bandwidth of DDR3 memory. An example given by PC Gamer states that a graphics card with 1 GB of GDDR5 RAM is superior to one with 4 GB of DDR3.
The rest of the equipment on the computer can also create bottlenecks and limit the effectiveness of a higher-end graphics card. Older dual-core central processing units cannot make full use of the most recently released graphics cards, so it is a waste of money to buy anything better than a mid-range card. Lower resolution displays also cannot reach the full potential of the newest graphics cards.
It is also important to ensure that the graphics card is compatible with your system. This includes ensuring that it fits in the case and checking the power supply to ensure that it can connect.

A guy goes into a pet shop to get a pet, and sees a parrot with a sign that says "FREE!"
"What's with the free parrot? Does he swear or something?
"Naw, he's REAL smart, he can even carry on a conversation...he just doesn't have any legs or feet."
"How does he stay on the perch??"
"Well...he's got this HUGE dick and he wraps it around the perch."
"That doesn't bother me, I'll take him."
He LOVES the parrot and ends up talking to it more than his wife. He comes home one day and the parrot looks uncomfortable.
"What's up?"
"Don't wanna say."
"Now tell me what's wrong."
"Mailman came by."
"He comes by every day. So?"
"He came in the house."
"He took off your wife's dress."
"He DID???"
"Then he took off her bra."
"Then he took off her panties."
"OH NO! THEN what happened???"
"Hell, I dunno. I got a hard on and fell off the perch."

One of the things that have always filled me with curiosity is men's attitude towards female sexuality. Even though they are supposed to want sex all the time, every time a girl actually satisfies that craving, most men act like real jerks and make her feel bad and not worthy of their attention/respect/kindness.
I will drop a bomb at you: women love sex. From my experience, I think that girls like sex even more than guys, but the rules that our western society has imposed to all of us, prevents us from really making the best of what nature has given us. I ask you guys: Do you have a part of your body which whole existence is just related to your pleasure? We do. Can you literally spend all your day having sex non-stop? We actually could (with proper training and the adequate inspiration :P)
So, why is all the fuzz with girls enjoying pleasure? Why do you think that the time that a girl prevents you from seeing her naked is directly proportional to their worth as a human being/possible partner.
What I think is that guys that think that are absolute jerks. And I have found the perfect way to spot them and get them out of your life: sleep with them. If you do that, and they never pursue anything else with you, it is because they are not worthy of your time. If you let yourself go and enjoy the moment, and he is able to notice that you are beautiful human being after seeing you naked, then you can see where things take you both.
So let's start a revolution! The day in which all girls are able to enjoy sex with the people they are attracted to without being judged, that will be the day in which men will have to find more things to value in women than how much time can they hold sex. And that day, my friends, I think we will all be a little bit happier. Or, at least, have more fun.

Photo gallery: Horsey Windpump sails into new era as full restoration gets underway
PUBLISHED: 10:14 01 May 2014
Archant Norfolk 2014
After months of planning it was finally "lift-off" for the giant sails pinned to one of Norfolk's most iconic landmarks.
The operation, staged in perfect weather, saw a team of engineers gingerly remove the 23m structures ahead of a major renovation that will see the roadside windpump at Horsey restored to full working order.
It marks a new chapter in the varied life of the 102-year-old landmark which draws 20,000 visitors a year, and the prospect of seeing its sails turn for the first time in 70 years.
Rebuilt from the ruins of its 18th- century predecessor, it has survived a lightning strike, storms, and floods – the most recent battering in December triggering fears about how much more the fragile structure could stand.
However, removing the sails lifts any danger and means people can once more visit the mill and climb to the top, while conservationists work out the best way to approach the refit.
Paul Coleman, project manager for the National Trust, said the existing sails were made to the wrong design and even faced the wrong direction – albeit one which made for a picturesque photo opportunity. Under the restoration scheme, however, the sails, will be made fit for turning, connect to the turbine, and usher in a new era of shuddering, clattering noise to the hitherto tranquil spot.
It will also see the cap replaced with an authentic boat-shaped one, typical of east Norfolk. The sails will also be repositioned facing along the road towards Great Yarmouth.
He said: "We have been monitoring the building for some time. What is now evident is that some of the internal structure is quite tired and there is some water coming in through the timbers and that affects the main beams that support the sails.
"We were planning to replace them last year, but the building was just too fragile.
"The last time the mill was used for pumping was in 1943 when it was hit by lightning and a diesel pump was brought in.
"Then in 1961 a huge amount of work was done to replace the sails as they look today, but it was not to the authentic pattern and there was no intention of it working."
Horsey's accessible roadside location made it unique among windpumps, dozens of which were visible across the flat Norfolk landscape, but a hike away, he added.
If all goes to plan, the restoration will be complete by the end of next year, making it one of only a handful of windpumps in working order and the most easy to reach.
Mr Coleman added: "Just standing in the mill at the moment you have to imagine what it would have been like with all the noise. It would have been shaking with the amount of energy being produced by what is a big machine."
The trust hopes the sight of conservationists at work will be an attraction in itself as old rural skills are reprised. The renovation project will include a training element and provide new volunteering opportunities as a well as a chance to tell the building's full story.
Phase one to replace the sails, fantail, internal timbers and cap is set to cost around £190,000 with an additional budget being worked up for the turbine house project to follow in the next few years.
The sails were last replaced in the 1980s.

text: Hey Everyone, I went with a PhantomSkinz Screen Protector. I never installed these before. So please excuse my ignorance... It was actually pretty easy. However, there seems to be like a haze underneath the skin. I know the instructions say that it could be hazy for a day or two until it is all set and dry. However, as i said, first one i ever installed, so, i'm a little nervous if i installed it correctly. I don't have any bubbles or anything, just a little bit of haze under the skin itself. I really appreciate anyone's input. Thank You!!!

Homeowners Insurance Information & Roof Damage
Insurance companies consider storm damage to roofs as one of the most often claimed coverage, and they employ adjusters who have undergone special training to work with homeowners.
Projected Damage
Hail strikes show up as discolored smudges, often oval in shape and slightly dimpled. Evidence of dimpled hail damage can also be seen on metal vents and guttering, and often the soffit and siding.
Missing roof shingles is the easiest and best way to prove wind damage, but even without that it is possible to show a need for repair. Lifting up one shingle and having four or five lift up around it shows that at some time the wind lifted the area up and broke the bond with the roof.
Opening a Claim
The insurance company will want to know when the damage occurred and the specific damage. It normally is willing to provide reimbursement for damages up to two years after an incident happens.
Other questions it will ask concern the age of the home, the length of ownership, any previous claims and the size of the home. It will provide a claim number, and set up an appointment with the adjuster.
The insurance adjuster will do a walk around on the roof. Usually for hail damage there must be eight to 10 distinct strikes within a 100-square foot section of the roof. He will also look for wind damage.
There is no penalty to the homeowner if the adjuster finds no damage. The insurance company considers that the homeowner is merely protecting his interest in the property without trying to defraud the insurance company.
The homeowner can appeal and ask for a new adjuster to come out at this point.
If the adjuster finds partial damage, the company may issue a check to cover a percentage of the damage. Again, the homeowner can appeal this decision and request a review.
The third option is that the adjuster finds full damage and the insurance company will cover the cost of a new roof and any other damage.
Partial check
With full damage, the insurance company normally writes an initial check for approximately 30 percent to 40 percent of what it considers a fair cost for a new roof. This may be issued the same day, or it may take several days depending upon the insurance company's policies.
With that check in hand, the homeowner can now find a roofing company that will do the work for the same cost as the insurance proceeds.
The usual procedure is for the homeowner to pay the roofing company the same amount as the initial check when the agreement is signed. This allows the company to pay for the material and labor in advance.
Balanced Paid
After the work is completed and certified to the insurance company by the roofing company, it may have its own inspector look over the roof.
It will issue a check for the balance of the money, less the deductible if any, along with any supplemental checks. This check goes to pay the balance of the money due to the roofing company.

The Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights announced on March 21 that it has begun Phase 2 of its HIPAA Audit Program, which the agency is using to determine if health-care organizations and their contractors are complying with HIPAA privacy and security rules.
According to OCR, the audits are primarily a "compliance improvement activity" to determine what types of technical assistance should be developed and what types of corrective action would be most helpful. However, if an audit indicates a serious compliance issue, OCR may initiate a compliance review to further investigate.
OCR Director Jocelyn Samuels said that Phase 2 will consist of 200 desk and on-site audits of both covered entities and business associates. The desk audits are expected to be completed by December, while the more comprehensive on-site audits will begin later in the year, Samuels said during the National HIPAA Summit. (See related story, Next Phase of HIPAA Audits Has Begun, Official Says)
Phase 1, in 2011 and 2012, assessed the controls and processes of 115 covered entities to comply with HIPAA requirements. Phase 2 will audit both covered entities and business associates, including covered individual and organizational providers of health services, health plans of all sizes and functions, health care clearinghouses and a range of business associates of these entities.
OCR will first send out emails requesting address verification and contact information, and then a pre-audit screening questionnaire. OCR cautioned that communications sent by email may be incorrectly classified as spam. The agency recommended that entities check for email from email@example.com. Entities that don't respond to an OCR email could still be subject to an audit.
Greta Cowart, a shareholder with Winstead PC in Dallas, told Bloomberg BNA, "I think it is curious after the IRS has made a point to warn people that it will not contact them via email to solicit information to warn them of identity theft scams, that HHS/OCR, that is charged with enforcing privacy and security requirements on our protected health information (PHI), is choosing to open their inquiries into information that should be protected and secure with an email letter."
Covered entities and business associates selected for audit will be informed via email about their desk or on-site audit, and have 10 business days to respond. OCR will then review the information and provide the covered entity or business associate with draft findings, although the fact sheet does not give a limit to OCR's time to review the findings. The covered entity or business associate then has 10 business days to review and return with written comments to OCR. OCR will complete a final audit report for each entity within 30 business days after receiving a response.
Joanna Kerpen, a partner at McDermott Will & Emery LLP, told Bloomberg BNA that covered entities should ensure they have current business associate agreements in place with all business associates. In addition covered entities and business associates should:
be prepared to provide records of compliance with HIPAA's privacy, security and breach notification rules if audited;
ensure they have HIPAA policies and procedures in place; and
review and update existing HIPAA policies and procedures as necessary.
Cowart said, "In addition to being certain that covered entities have the HIPAA policies and procedures and business associate agreements in place, they should be certain that they have been doing periodic security analysis. In this day and age cybersecurity is critical and one must be proactive on defense. The best offense is a good defense."

In 1911 the fashion designer Paul Poiret held one of his 'unforgettable' fancy-dress balls - 'The Thousand and Second Night'. He attired his wife in a 'lampshade' tunic over 'harem trousers', which subsequently inspired similar exotic creations, including 'Sorbet', comprising a skirt and tunic.
Paul Poiret (1879-1944) was born in Paris. He opened his own salon after serving an apprenticeship for Douçet and working for Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895), the English-born designer whose Paris salon dominated French couture. Poiret was one of the most creative fashion designers of the 20th century. He also revived fashion illustration, founded a school for the decorative arts and even diversified into perfume. He led the forefront of the artistic fashion movement away from the curvilinear silhouette of the early 1900s towards a longer, leaner line. His brilliantly coloured, looser clothes, often inspired by the 'orientalist' enthusiasm for Eastern fashions and traditions, were extremely popular.
Physical description
Black and white satin tunic with cross over bodice and elbow length sleeves, worn over a black satin skirt. The tunic is trimmed with large floral bead motifs in pistachio, pink and mauve (i.e. 'Sorbet' colours) designed by the Martine School and edged with fur mounted on a wire foundation. There is a pink chiffon sash with a bead fringe fastened at the high waist. The bodice is faced, but not lined, and has a wide grosgrain waist belt. The skirt has a pleated front and its trained back is of black satin. It has a grosgrain waist belt.

Quality also marks the search for an ideal after necessity has been satisfied and mere usefulness achieved.

My students have been having such a fun time with this website. I've uploaded their pictures so they can see themselves as dancing elves.
For those who have goals focusing on imitating motor movements, this is very motivating!
For others who are working on requesting a turn or engaging in conversational turns, it works as a great prompt for that too!
Since I didn't pay the fee to download, we also have worked on the skill of waiting while the web page loads. We've learned words like "loading," "hourglass," "spinning," "we're waiting," "be patient."

I love Beauty Box subscriptions.
Since I am a Beauty Product Junkie, it's the ultimate gift that keeps on giving. Every month I get the joy of being surprised with some new, unique products that are typically right up my alley.
Granted, there are also quite a few "flops", but for me, the good generally far outweighs the bad.
First, here's a breakdown:
$21/month (tax & delivery included)
Five surprise luxury products beauty products (a good mix of makeup, skincare, and haircare)
Surveys on each product (20 pts each) and referral credits (200 pts) that you can then cash in on a free box, when you reach 1000 pts (it takes about 10 months with just surveys)
Ipsy Glambag
$10/month (tax & delivery included)
4-5 Beauty products curated by Michelle Phan (mostly makeup, mostly full-size, typically lesser known brands and less expensive brands...like NYX) always delivered with a makeup bag of some sort
Surveys on each product (10 pts each) and referral credits
(250 pts) that you can cash in on your choice of free products/sets (diff't price points, i.e. a Bad Gal Lash mascara by Benefit is 1000pts) that get delivered with your next regular Ipsy bag
$10/month (tax & delivery included)
A more eclectic mix of 4-5 samples each month. You may get face cream deluxe sample, a few bags of tea, a pony tail holder, BB cream sample, and a perfume sampler. It's really hard to know with Birchbox. And although it rarely happens, I have received some really awesome FULL SIZE items. They are few & far between, though. The items tend to be more prestige items, like Benefit, Dior, Stila, etc.
The points system is quite unique. You get 10 points per item you review via survey each month and 50 pts per referral credit. Every 10 pts is worth $1. So yeah, basically, if you review each item, each month before time expires, you can earn back $5 of your box cost. The points can be spent just like money in the Birchbox Shop, which has all kinds of awesome stuff. Their customer service is great, BTW. I've dealt with them on several different issues, each time with great results.
These will not be in any particular order, month-wise.
They will be grouped by Box.
Sadly, I don't have pictures for all my Birchboxes. I've been getting them longest, and didn't take pictures in the beginning. I got some of the best stuff from them in the beginning; but honestly, it seems like I get less & less good, full size things from the now, anyways. I once got the full size Stila One Step Bronze (value $36!!) in one of my early boxes. I miss those day, though I can understand why they can't do that all the time.
The main thing about all my subbies? I find some true "gems"...some "Holy Grail" products. I found my Holy Grail hair gel, shampoo & conditioner, and spray protectant through them. I've discovered which polishes I love (Zoya, Nails Inc.) and which ones I'm not nuts about (SpaRitual, Sation).
I've discovered brands I like...The Balm, Stila, Missha, Benefit.
I've even discovered my next perfumes: Bvlgari's au the vert and BCBGMaxAzria.
There are lots of other beauty box subscriptions out there, but I can't afford them all! Wish I could.
I hope all of this will, in some way, help you to make a good decision about which beauty box subbie is right for you. May you be very happy with your decision, whatever it is!
Do you subscribe?
Are you gonna?
Are you happy with yours?

Prevent. Protect. Respond. Recover.
The PSAP Standards & Training Committee developed the "Entry Level Emergency Communications Training Manual". The manual was created with input from dispatchers, trainers and supervisors across the State. It is intended for brand new dispatchers, as a precursor to the dispatch academy, and it is now located online with POST.
The training manual is now available on-line in the POST Training portal The link is: https://meeting.post.idaho.gov/psap_curriculum/
POST wants only dispatchers taking this course, who have never taken it (ex. - no patrol officers or repeat dispatch students trying to duplicate prior credit received). It is worth 4 POST credit hours.
Also we will be distributing information regarding the upcoming PSAP quarterly workshops coming to a location near you.

Xerox adds to industry-leading line of Nuvera Production Printers
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
Press release from the issuing companyCHICAGO – Xerox Corporation has strengthened its position as the leader in digital black-and-white production printing with the introduction of the Xerox Nuvera 200 and 288 MX Perfecting Production Systems. These MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) products – that print checks, rebate coupons and financial forms – extend the Xerox Nuvera platform to 10 products.
Also, the company launched new finishing options for the entire Xerox Nuvera line and enhancements to the Xerox Nuvera EA family.
"Last year, Xerox led the worldwide high-end black-and-white market with more than 70 percent of all production-class cut-sheet shipments, and is well positioned to sustain a leadership position by continuing to enhance its Nuvera portfolio," said Riley McNulty, research manager, IDC Production and Large Format Printing Service1.
Xerox Nuvera MX fleet offers cost-effective transactional printing
The Xerox Nuvera 200/288 MX Perfecting Production systems print at 200 and 288 images per minute, respectively, and deliver consistent, durable and secure transactional documents with high-caliber 4800 x 600 dpi image resolution. Xerox MICR technology enables reliable encoding for consistent scanning and reading by high-speed magnetic readers/sorters – required by the industry when processing printed negotiable documents.
Both systems use tandem architecture, meaning two print engines are designed and managed as one. A benefit of this design is "pass through programming" – this keeps the system running even if one of the engines needs service, providing maximum productivity and uptime.
Other features include:
• Check Production Integrity – an optional feature that automatically tracks the total number of checks in a run and captures every printed MICR line to determine if a number in a check sequence is missing, duplicated or out of order. This helps protect against duplication and theft of printed checks and diversion of blank check stock.
• Xerox MICR Check Guarantee – Xerox helps resolve any bank-reported MICR or reject rate problems.
• Xerox FreeFlow Print Server version 7.0 – the company's most powerful print server is now available on MICR systems; the server delivers expanded workflow capabilities and an easy-to-use interface that is common across all Nuvera systems.
Finishing options span entire Nuvera portfolio
New in-line finishing options for the Xerox Nuvera line – both EA and MICR systems – completes books and manuals and financial documents of varying sizes efficiently and cost effectively. Offerings include:
• DS 3500 stacker – automatically rotates and/or stacks up to 3,500 sheets of paper in-line, eliminating a separate finishing transport module.
• CEM DocuCutt – receives oversized sheets of paper, trims them to a specified book size and then feeds the book pages in-line to the Bourg Book Factory, optimizing cost and paper use.
• Duplo – DBM 5001 in-line booklet maker – provides an affordable 30-sheet booklet maker configured to produce full-bleed booklets with optional trim kit – available for all Xerox Nuvera printers.
The Xerox Nuvera 288 Perfecting Production System will be in Xerox's booth (No. 1100) at Print 09 – the year's leading graphic communications event, taking place Sept. 11 – 16 at Chicago's McCormick Place.
The Xerox Nuvera 200/288 MX Perfecting Production Systems are available Oct. 1 in North America and Nov. 1 worldwide.
The DS 3500 stacker and Duplo DBM 5001 are available Oct. 1 worldwide and the CEM DocuCutt is available Dec. 1 worldwide.

How to create a gallery in WordPress in six easy steps. 1. Hit the Add Media button. 2. Click on the Create Gallery option. 3. Upload the images you want to add to your gallery. 4. Hit the Create Gallery button in the bottom corner. 5. The next page will have this column over on the right hand side. Do you want the gallery to be given a bit of a mix up each time someone refreshed the page? Check the Random Order box. More importantly, right underneath that is a drop down box to allow you to select the type of gallery you want. I prefer the Tiled Mosaic. Just hit the Insert Gallery button. 6. Need to make changes? No problem. When you're back in the post writing screen, your gallery is just a big box in the text area. Click on it and two little buttons appear in the top left corner. One will delete the gallery. The other will take you back into the Gallery Editing screen.
The block of images below are messy. The Gallery feature is probably better suited to photographs than to bland screenshots. Just click on one of the images though, perhaps the first one is the the best place to start, and you'll see a nice shiny carousel open up the gallery. It works very nicely.

So, I was invited to go to a wedding today - that, incidentally, was so special it was featured on the local 6 o'clock news tonight!
Hubby wasn't able to take a day off work, so I invited Itty Bitty to be my date. He's in the middle of exams currently, but he was happy to put on his party shoes and go with me. I let him drive.
As we are leaving the wedding...
HE: So how the heck do I get out of here?
ME: Same way you got here.
HE: Kicking, screaming, and covered with someone else's blood?

Your Wedding Your Style
Your Wedding Day, now more than ever, is a celebration where you and your's personal style and aesthetic are front and center during the planning. While every wedding is a celebration of love and commitment, romance and passion it is, at the same time, an opportunity to explore your own personal style. From the dress you choose to the venue, flowers, colors and textures there are numerous elements and details that together set a tone for your magical day. This is not to say that your Wedding Day is a time where you are glamorizing your personality but it is a moment where your personal style and design sense set a tone and mood for your family and friends alike. Whether Rustic-Chic, Vintage, Modern, Classic or Luxurious your wedding design is a memory that will last a lifetime, the chance to define a style that evokes comfort and love, togetherness and fun, playfulness and romance. Creating your wedding day design shouldn't be difficult or intimidating. How do you begin? The easiest answer (selfishly on my part) is to hire a Wedding Designer like myself that will guide you through the decisions - but at the end of the day you still have to make choices that you are pleased with that develop your design. So, take a look at these few factors that will help you easily find the style that best suits you and your partner, fit with the season and best celebrate your personal taste and relationship that you will share for a lifetime to come.
1. Seasonality - What time of year have you chosen for your Wedding Day? Season's are one of the simplest factors to consider when determining your wedding style. Each season has it's own innate color palette and textural scheme that can easily lead to a complete style. Spring, with soft and cool colors lend easily to a romantic or vintage palette while the vibrant jewel tones that Summer brings can evoke a more playful, casual tone. Fall is quickly recognized with warm hues like burnished oranges and hazy greens that can lead to a more rustic approach while Winter identified with its cooler icy blues and whites and cloudy merlot can be a sophisticated style blending vintage and rustic into a gorgeous design. Every season sets a mood without a lot of effort, stay true to the colors and tones that each evoke and a style will begin to design itself.
2. Theme or Mood - What mood do you want to evoke with your design? Calm and Tranquil, Vibrant and Boistrous, Romantic and Vintage, Warm and Cozy or Modern and Youthful - mood may not be the first thing you think of when planning your wedding. Theme may be a more common way of thinking, but personally I don't like to think of events in terms of a theme simply because that can become too obvious and contrived, developing a style with limited "themed" objects and elements. As an event designer, when developing an event's style, I want to know what mood or tone we are setting for your guests. Of course all weddings are a celebration and party but the mood will give that celebration its unique style. A mood can be Fun and Playful like a backyard "Picnic Style" - this would define the style as easy and casual, loose and airy maybe colorful and playful. Other's may want a Sophisticated and Formal mood; a Black Tie Affair where the details would be ornate, elegant and luxurious with perhaps large and elegant floral and elements of crystal and glass. Of course, there are numerous Moods in between, Rustic - Chic, Vintage, Nautical Beach, Modern Lounge or Romantic Elegance. Making a list of adjectives that you want your day to evoke is a simple way to determine what Mood you want to set ultimately defining your style.
3. Venue - The location of your Ceremony and Reception are obviously a vital influence in the design process. Taking into consideration the location of your celebration will immediately lead you to a style and may dictate colors and details that you select. If you choose an Historic Mansion with gilded details and ornate elements you have already begun to define your style. Using more formal touches, sophisticated textures and elegant floral arrangements probably all lend themselves more easily to the existing surroundings of the venue. If, however you have selected a rustic Barn or Backyard as your reception location then a more casual, less formal style is appropriate. The venue will always have elements, textures, colors, architectural details and style specific to it that will help guide your choices.
4. Culture - You and your partner's heritage, cultural obligations and religious beliefs will lead you to an array of style decisions. I have designed Indian Weddings that combine traditional Indian Heritage & Cultural Needs with Western Family Traditions. The Indian culture is naturally vibrant, colorful and full of jewel tones with many ceremonial traditions and elements. Together with floral, these cultural elements and objects are a significant piece in the Wedding Celebration, thus impacting directly the design plan. Other cultures and religions may or may not involve such important pieces but still may add to your ultimate style. Whether a Chuppa or Alter, there is plenty of room for stylized choices.

SecretGreece has done something that had never happened before in Greece!! We went an 11 days road trip in Greece focusing on the mainland (I am afraid no islands)!!
This was an amazing experience as we visited so many beautiful sites in Greece that usually remain hidden and under tourists radar.
If you follow us a long time now, you would know that we love secrets and especially revealing them! And this is exactly what we will do this time as well!
Our Route
You can find the 1st part of our road trip here and our first stop was Peloponnese, where we stayed 3 nights in Nafplio, Gerolimenas and Pylos. Needless to say that Peloponnese is an extraordinary place with small hidden treasures, like the village of Kardamyli, Limeni, Koroni etc.
West and North Greece
Then we directed to West and North Greece (you can find the 2st part of our road trip here) through breathtaking bridge Rio-Antirio, where we passed through mountains and lakes and we stayed 3 nights, one at not so famous Thermos and one at picturesque Parga! Next stop was Kastoria, which is built around a lake and Edessa, which has a reputation for its magnificent waterfalls! Also, through our route in North Greece, we visited amazing villages, like Nymfaio and Metsovo etc.
Central Greece
Then we passed through Thessaloniki and we were going towards Kavala, Ksanthi and Drama, where a personal problem arose and we had to go back to Thessaloniki and change our plan. It was very disappointing but these things happen on a road trip so we had to remain calm and continue our journey to Central Greece (you can read our 3rd and final post here)
Next two final stops were in Meteora – where no words are enough to describe the place(!) and Pelion mountain, which a perfect place to visit during winter and summer!
We knew of course about Greece's beauty, but all these images and different sides of this country surprises us unexpectedly. We were drinking our coffee in an isolated village and the same afternoon we were swimming at an extraordinary beach…
So, check our post about our road trip and wonder….
How your paradise looks like??

The Postal Service contracts for professional/technical and consultant services when doing so makes good business sense in light of available personnel resources. For example, short-term expertise may be necessary to assist in the development of new customer service programs or to manage spikes in operational workload. In other cases, long-term contracts for these services may prove more fiscally and technically beneficial than the use of career employees. When contemplating contracting for these services, and for personal services (see below), purchase/SCM teams must consider the financial commitment and potential ROI. For certain requirements, such as those affecting craft positions and duties, additional reviews and approvals are required; these include meeting legal and labor agreement obligations set forth in Federal regulations and labor agreements. In these cases, purchase/SCM teams must consult with Strategic Initiatives at Headquarters. In addition, reviews and approvals are required for contracts with former Postal Service officers, executives, and employees, regardless of whether these individuals are contracted with directly or are employed or proposed to be employed by a supplier, as discussed in Section 7-12, Restrictions on Contracting with Former Postal Service Officers, Executives, Employees, and Other Sources.
Conflicts of Interest – When purchasing professional/technical or consultant services, purchase/SCM teams must pay particular attention to the potential for organizational conflicts of interest, and consider using Clause 1-7: Organizational Conflicts of Interest, or a similar clause in the contract.
