How come shipping DSR's are not grayed out if the seller using PP Shipping?: eBay News & Information Boards: eBay Discussion Boards
Hello Ebay Pinks, All ebay Seller would appreciate a DETAILED reply to these DSR questions. I use Paypal Shipping for all my shipping needs. 1) SHIPPING TIME STAR Ebay/Paypal knows "when" I ship... which is same day or next day in most cases. So WHY are the buyers allowed to rate my shipping time? The buyers are rating me on "how long it took the post office to deliver" their ebay purchase. They are not rating on how long it took me to ship their purchase! This star should be grayed out if I ship within my TOS and use Paypal shipping. My TOS is 2 days and I ship by the next day after cleared payment. So how come this shipping time star is not grayed out since ebay knows exactly when I ship? 2) SHIPPING CHARGE STAR Ebay/Paypal knows "how much" I charge for postage... since I use Paypal Shipping. I take a big loss on shipping because the charge does not cover shipping supplies. Shipping boxes cost me around $1.25 to $10.00 depending on the size of the item. I charge within 50 cents of the exact postage and never cover the cost of my supplies. This star should be grayed out since I am using Paypal shipping and ebay knows HOW MUCH I paid for the shipping. This shipping star should be grayed out if the shipping is within $2.00 of the actual postage cost in Paypal shipping. So how come this shipping charge star is not grayed out since ebay knows HOW MUCH I charge for shipping? 3) FREE SHIPPING The Shipping Charge star show be grayed out when the Seller offers FREE SHIPPING. How come this star is not grayed out when the seller offers FREE shipping? What is the point of allowing the buyer to rate this star if they are getting FREE SHIPPING? In case you have not noticed... ebay sellers are leaving ebay by the thousands. They are waving goodbye all over the boards. Most of it has to do with the impossible expectations of ebay and DSR scoring. Ebay needs to take a look at this impossible scoring if they want to keep these unique item sellers. 4) What is the difference between "Satisfied" and "Very Satisfied"? I get "Jumping for Joy" Feedback and ratings lower than a 5 in my DSR's from some buyers. So what do I tell my buyers when I BEG for the 5 star rating? How do I explain the difference between a "Satisfied" and a "Very Satisfied" rating if I don't even know the difference? What does "very" mean and how do I explain it to the buyer? I need time for listing and selling. I want my listings clean and organized. I only want information on the item I am selling in my listing. But now you are saying you want me to BEG or EDUCATE the buyer on how the buyer needs to give me 5 star ratings in my listings so I can continue selling on ebay? Why? How come it is my responsible to take a 1/2 page of my listing to educate the buyer on how to rate DSR scores on me? Why am I required to BEG the buyer for 5 stars so I can continue to sell on ebay? At what point does ebay accept the responsibility for their own actions on this impossible method of DSR scoring? Thanks! ...

I'd like to hear the answer to this one too, as one would think your suggestion is a no brainer...
You won't get a pink answer but here's some reasons why you can be rated even if your shipping cost/time are stated up front/free: SHIPPING TIME: 1. Seller's handling time is excessive (e.g. 5 days) and seller takes as long as he allowed himself 2. Seller only offers Media Mail, buyer can't upgrade to Priority at buyer's cost for faster delivery 3. Seller promises Priority Mail, actually ships by slower FCM or Media 4. Seller prints label on Day 2 but actually drops it off on Day 5 SHIPPING COST: 1. Seller states shipping by Priority, actually ships FCM or Media 2. Postage due 3. Poor packing esp. if handling fees were charged And eBay's reasoning for both which I don't agree with: E. Buyer can buy even if he disagrees with the original terms, and use DSRs to indicate unhappiness with the terms

I'm not sure how a seller with a Feedback of only 31 can have a major problem with the rules of play? It's all about the Customer and not about you ---- 1.) Meet and exceed Customer expectations 2.) Charge a fair & competitive price for shipping --- if you can't make money...... don't bother with the listing. 3.) I have not "noticed" eBay sellers leaving by the Thousands --- do you have access to some data that the rest of us aren't privy to? 4.) Never beg for DSR's --- do a stellar job of satisfying the Customer and the DSR's will come without having to beg. 5.) Focus on the Positive

I've noticed #3 in spades. Most of my favorite sellers are gone, gone, gone. I buy surplus, and understand what "AS-IS" means. My buying pool has nearly competely evaporated. When asked, the sellers I've relocated have said they were losing their shirts here with SNADs and loss of outgoing shipping, so were compelled to go elsewhere.

By the way, Bayside, many people post here under IDs just for that purpose, so appear to have low feedback. Folks like us who post under their actual selling ID are rare, for fear of retaliation. However, the amoung of actual seller IDs posting in this special Changes forum has been abnormally huge as I believe sellers cannot believe how deaf eBay remains to their concerns.
Apr 27, 2010 01:40 PM
I agree that the DSR needs tweeking. I had one sale within a three week period. So I know where my DSR came from. Buyer was happy, left positive feedback, My shipping was exact and I was dinggggged on the DSR. Also item was shipped day after payment. I do this part-time. Outside of here my job keeps me away from home 14 hours a day. In my listings, I state allow 10 days fror shipment of cleared payment. Most of the time my items are shipped within 1-3 days of payment, due to my work schedule and one of my family members being ill. If I am stating in all of my auctions to allow 10 days for shipment of cleared payment, why should I get dinged for this. This ship time is always a part of my listings. This buyer had a very low feedback. I feel that newer ebay buyers, do not fully understand this rating process. Another thing that is aggrivating. You wait 3 to 4 days for them to pay, then you get dinged on your shipping time. I think you should have Detailed Buyer Rating. Do they pay promptly. That would probably change a lot of things. Becky

Focus on the Positive You sound like an ebay cheerleader with all this meeting and greeting? Ha! I am here to make money and that is the reason I am selling on ebay. So if the only reason you are on ebay is to meet and great customers, then that reason is okay too. I am friendly but basically I am here to make money and it is getting more difficult with all the roadblocks ebay is setting up for sellers. I send out several notices per sale and get extra info for gardening customers, offer free fancy gift wrapping etc. I spend a lot more time than I should helping customers. I expect 5 stars from each of them because I earned it. I have to be rocket scientist to understand how Search works...while actually I am just a senior trying to make some income. The old ebay was fun watching the last minute bids with fair rules for buyers and sellers. This ebay for sellers is like walking on broken glass with a hole in my pocket. This is one of my posting IDs. I don't come to the boards with a selling ID. I have been on ebay for a lot longer than you. There are a few problems with using a selling ID on the boards... with members messing with listings of the poster... and you can read about it in the Seller's forum of why many of us use posting ID's, buying ID's and selling ID's. I am glad you are doing so well. You are lucky. You sell mostly new items ... and can just send another one out right away. It is a little harder when you have one-of-a-kind collectibles and vintage... and they want 20% off because it is the wrong shade of blue or they threatened your feedback if you don't give in with paying for return shipping too. I am not a department store or a bank. Then when they ship it back they don't use any packing and it arrives in pieces... or they ship back a rock in a box. There is no seller protection if they have an online DC. And I am always out the listing fees. I have been lucky so far. Ha! INSURANCE: Another trend is that the buyer will not cooperate with an Insurance claim and buyer mails back the smashed item to the seller instead of showing the post office or sending a picture for 3rd party insurance. And paypal gives a refund with no investigation. So even if the seller buys insurance, the buyer is not required to help with the process of the insurance claim. I should start a new thread on this issue. And that return shipping cost is a monster to pay if they expect return shipping because they thought it was something else and hold feedback over your head as a threat. I had a couple of these. It is kind of hard to work with a buyer that is threatening with the first email. I am a TRS but probably not for long. Ha! I am a 5 star seller and bend over backwards for each customer. I pack for a trip around the world and same day or next day shipping and still my shipping stars get dinged. I just want some answers from ebay on those shipping stars and ebay never replies to these questions... but I keep asking at each round table. Go into the seller's forum and you can read all about the latest buyer trends and the threats some sellers are coping with. You can read the comments of all the sellers leaving in the Sellers forum and the other boards too. You need to read the boards if you want to know what other sellers are doing. I never mention the word feedback or DSR stars to a buyer and no wording in my listings either. They leave what they leave. Ebay forces me to block any buyer that leaves me less than 5 stars as I cannot afford to keep them as a customer. So the same buyer will not have the opportunity to ding my stars again. These new rules are nothing more than giving the buyers more power to get discounts and free items etc. ... go figure I just want some answers from ebay on those shipping stars and ebay never replies to these questions... but I keep asking at each round table.

Hello.... Can I get a reply from an Ebay PINK on these SHIPPING STAR Questions? Thanks, Sherlock

Baysidetoys You have a product that sells mass quantity! Games are #1 in either electronics or other forms. Try a product that sells very slowly. Then have an opinion and throw out your "be positive" garbage! The system is set up for you and obviously you don't want it changed as you are a Top Rated Seller getting 75% of the of the buying public seeing your advertisments.
Apr 27, 2010 04:02 PM
One more thing Baysidetoys! I never post under this ID however ebay is fast dieing for us, so using a lesser ID rating does not matter anymore. Ebay was at one time as much as 20% of our business now only about 5%. Don't know where you have been looking as your head is in the "Elite Top Rated Seller Clouds" But Thousands upon Thousands of sellers are gone! Went with them, the BUYERS!!!!!! Also you don't have to beg for DSR you sell enough popular products your bad service is being burried as fast as you deliver it! If you sold a slow selling product on ebay you would not be singing this all mighty tune!
Apr 27, 2010 04:09 PM
Sherlocksgallery Great questions. We have presented ebay with these same questions via customer service. You know the ones getting minimum wage to repeat a preprinted explanation! Anyway the Pinks will not answer you as we must all face it they are thinning out sellers! Their plan is obvious as to avoid law suits they are systematically getting rid of sellers and only keeping the few elite that sell the majority of products. Thus allowing them to sell more and not having the competition. Ebay is not unable to understand what our complaints are they just don't care, they have a bigger picture in mind. The best thing is to not give them the time and energy there are so many other avenues that pay so much better. The days of good old ebay CEO's is gone the Socialist have arrived! Get used to it Americans!

Our hosts this month, Barbara of Barbara Bakes and Bunnee of Anna+Food have chosen a delicious Stacked Green Chile & Grilled Chicken Enchilada recipe in celebration of Cinco de Mayo! The recipe, featuring a homemade enchilada sauce was found on www.finecooking.com and written by Robb Walsh.When I read about the enchiladas I had to make this month, I got unnaturally excited. I haven't had much Mexican food since I moved over to Germany. I think there was a Mexican place not too far from where I live but it has since turned into a French restaurant, adding one more eatery to the list of "food from our neighbouring country". Mexican on the other hand, is not common. It is more common to find a Spanish restaurant here in Germany than a Mexican one. This is of course, the complete opposite of North America, where it is much easier to find Mexican food. (For an amusing take on this problem, see The Onion's article: Restaurant Turns Out To Be Spanish, Not Mexican)Suffering from a lack of Mexican restaurants means that there will be a certain lack of Mexican ingredients as well. It is extremely difficult to find tortillas, for example. I could go to my local Turkish donair shop & get them to roll me yufkas, which are like kinda like tortillas. I could try to deconstruct a nacho chip & make enchiladas out of those. Fortunately, I have a friend from Central America who wanted to make tortillas and had a bag of corn flour at home. Neither of us really know how to roll tortillas. We've seen our moms do it (mine rolled roti - another flatbread like a yufka) but never knew how to do it ourselves.rolling tortillasBeing far away from home, far away from not only families but the cultures we call home, it makes me aware of the value of cultural goods. The value of not only having my mom around - I'm already aware of her value - but also of having people with similar backgrounds around. The next problem in the enchilada recipe was Anaheim chilies. I don't know offhand what exactly an Anaheim chili is, but research showed that it's a mild chili. I bought the next best thing. Which resulted in a very deadly hot dish. Would this problem have been avoided had I been at home? Maybe not. But at least there, I have more than 2 chili varieties to chose from. Here, it was either red or green. I picked green.Dinner was still edible. If only because there was some yogurt in the fridge and a bottle of tequila on the table. Being far away from home has drawbacks, certainly, but there's something to be said for spending an evening with friends who share commonalities.Finished product: deadly hot stacked enchiladas
The difficulty of finding the ingredients I need to make something I have a craving for has been an on going thing all my adult life. In fact, I think that this is what has made me a better cook as I've always had to improvise and deviate from the original recipe. Last night I made a Chinese stir fry with black bean sauce and it has zucchini and dry dark Spanish sherry in it. :)
oh the horror of searching for Mexican food here in Germany.For the chilies I was at the Turkish supermarket. they have pointy Paprika tat have a kick.Still it looks delicious and you had fun, this is the way a daring Challenge should end.

UltraPedestrian: March 2013
Long ago in my backpacking career I came to the realization that big, heavy boots which incapacitate your feet are unnatural, uncomfortable, and unhealthy. I began wearing minimalist trail running shoes (Inov-8 Roclites) to backpack in long before I began running ultra distances. It was simply logical to me that at most a shoe should be a tool for your foot to use, not a device to alter or inhibit the natural foot and lower leg functions of flexing, splaying, gripping, and (dare I say it?) pronating.
But I like shoes and am very interested in them as an ancient human technology. Ötzi, the 5300 year old paleolithic man discovered frozen on a glacier in the Alps in 1991, wore rudimentary (i.e. minimalist) shoes. And the modern equivalents are fascinating, if cumbersome. I often walk around the start of races scoping out people's shoes, occasionally meeting a look that seems to say, "My eyes are up here."
Last year, preparing for the Pigtails Challenge 200 Mile Endurance Run (see my Race Report Here and Nutrition & Fueling Report Here) I knew that I needed a shoe with some midsole. Again, a tool for my feet to use. When retrieving a piping hot casserole from the oven one uses an oven mitt; there's no possibility of going 'minimal', one needs a tool to do something with one's hand that would otherwise cause harm or damage.
I began the race with only 18 training miles on my new Altra Lone Peaks, and finished with no blisters and no hotspots, and that was just the beginning. I went on to wear the same pair of Altras for the Echo Valley 50 Miler, 3 days of a four day recon run of the Wonderland (68 miles), the White River 50 Miler, the Angel's Staircase 60k, the Cascade Crest 100 miler, the Double Wonderland (186 miles), the Baker Lake 50k, the Deception Pass 50k, and the 2013 Fort Ebbey Kettles Trail Marathon, as well as a running of the Looit Trail around the base of Mt St Helens and all of my training mileage.
I lost track of the cumulative mileage on that pair of shoes at 1600 miles, and that is a conservative accounting. Altra Zero Drop Footwear has blessed me with an Ambadassadorship for 2013 and sent me a brand new pair of Lone Peaks. So in a spirit of research and exploration I am going to publish a precise running total each month on this blog of the miles run in my new pair of Altra Lone Peaks, as well as photos showing wear and tear. Hence the title, The AltraPedestrian Project.
Witness, in these two photos, the passing of the baton, the changing of the guard, the handing on of the mantle. My new pair of Lone Peaks is all shiny and clean and new on the top, with my preferred alternate lacing pattern already in place. They have 10 miles on them as of this photo, and I am just heading off to the Badger Mountain Challenge to put the first 100 on them.
By comparison, my original pair of Lone Peaks, at bottom in both photos, looks broken in and worn out, but nowhere near as destroyed as one would expect with nearly 2000 miles on them. I made no repairs on them and in the photos at top you can see a few holes in the upper and the metatarsal flex point. It will be fun (and hopefully both challenging and exhausting) to watch the miles add up over this season and document the life of the new pair.
I mean, realistically, what's more fun for an ultra runner than beating up a pair of shoes?

Running Local: It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Hitting the ground hard, I was now suddenly both awake and surprised. I had tripped on the frozen, rutted mud only 2 minutes into my 31 mile self-supported training run. I had no choice but to shake it off, my right knee and elbow now skinned. I was due to meet my friend and running partner Shona Hilton and there was no time for delays. She would join me for some middle miles on this day of running. She lives just 5 miles away at the other end of the dirt road I live on with my husband Ras. This road is called Dry Gulch and it goes through quite an array of conditions throughout the year. The area is the Okanogan Highlands of North Central Washington at 3,500 feet in elevation.
Right now, we are experiencing spring break-up. Snow has been covering the ground for months and now the temperatures are warming. Dry Gulch is great for driving when its compact snow and ice, manicured regularly and sanded by the snow plow driver. It then goes through a muddy stage when the snow melts, where even the best 4-wheel drive has to be fought with to keep on the road. After the mud dries, it leaves deep ruts, freezing at night in the early spring. During the day it becomes dust, referred to by locals as “moon dust”. Next comes the crazy “washboard” a wavy, rutted road surface which causes you to fishtail if you get up to even 30 mph.. The road is then horrible for running. A passing car kicks up more dust than is safe to breathe. The grader works to repair the washboard throughout the spring and summer, but dust is always there.
On this day, the conditions were actually great for Dry Gulch. Frozen in the morning, the mud would be soft by mid day. Enough of the road had dried out that I could choose whether or not to run in the mud. My plan was also to get off of Dry Gulch for part of the run. I would enjoy some time on the forest service road that neighbors the 40 acre piece of property where Ras and I live in a rustic lodge we caretake. There is wonderful running, biking and cross-country skiing on this road, which doubles as a section of the Pacific Northwest Scenic Trail. Locals head up the road in the wintertime on snowmobiles. This makes a great pack for running or skiing. I was looking forward to running on it after some dirt road miles, knowing it would feel softer on my feet and be awesome to get away from any possibility of a passing car. Unfortunately, my favorite trails were still too snowy for running.
Earlier in the week I had been looking at my Bryon Powell Training Plan for a 100 Mile Race. I noticed that at the end of Week 14 ,which I was currently in, I would need to run a 50k distance. Not being signed up for an official 50k race, it would be up to me to put together the route and run it on my own. Ras would be busy working his job as a carpenter, so he would not be able to join me. Pigtails Challenge 100 Miler around Lake Youngs in the Renton area, my first 100 mile race, was happening Memorial Day Weekend no matter what. I was determined to stick to my plan. It was actually fun to brainstorm all of the possible routes I could run to reach that mileage goal. I knew my biggest challenge would be to stay motivated for all of those miles on my own. Mixing up the terrain would be key to keeping it fun.
The morning was cold and quiet as I ran. I soon saw Shona up ahead, moving towards me as we had planned and that made me smile. She called out “Good Morning” in her cute, Scottish accent. We kept on running to the end of Dry Gulch and then turned alongside a little creek, now visibly flowing after being covered in a layer of ice all winter. In the summer, cows range freely in here, mucking up the creek. It begins to smell like cow pies and the creek water is greenish brown. Right now, the water was looking clean and fresh, running through the snowy banks along its sides. This area would change drastically in only a few months.
Shona and I could see Bonaparte Mountain off in the distance and we chatted about the Bonaparte Ultra Ras and I are putting together for the weekend of July 6th. What distance will we run? We should do hill repeats to train for the big climb to the lookout. We can run it faster this year with another season in us. Isn't it cool that Van Phan and Deby Kumasaka want to come run it? (Huge inspirations to Shona & I, Deby ran seven 100 milers last year and Van won the Washington Grand Slam & the women's division of the Pigtails Challenge 200 miler) They'll love it! . . . . Ultra runners often spend at least some of their time running talking about other ultra runs they want to do and other ultra runners. Its pretty normal.
We were on a 3.2 mile out n'back section. Then Shona would run back towards my car/aid station with me on Dry Gulch, to her turn around point. We could see the hardy neighbor ladies up ahead, regular walkers no matter what the weather, both in their early 70's. It took a while to gain on them and I was impressed with their pace. Nothing goes unnoticed in a country neighborhood and sure enough one of the ladies had seen me run by solo earlier and wondered why I now had a partner. One of their dogs was pretty unfriendly towards me, so Shona and I said goodbye and went our separate ways.
M.O.N.T. member and training partner Shona Hilton
In less than a mile, I was back to my car. I drank half of a refreshing Red Bull, one of my indulgences during endurance efforts, and then decided to get my dog Jesse from the house. He would be fun to have along for some miles, but he was getting too old to join me for all 31. He was very happy indeed and we took off to run the other end of Dry Gulch road, a 4 mile out n'back section. We passed by Eden Valley Guest Ranch in its idyllic setting and another creek, flowing swiftly with snow melt. When I got done with that 4 miles, it was time to hit the snowy forest service road. Jesse loves this kind of running, so it would be fun to keep him with me. I'd completed a little over 15 miles at this point in my run.
I spent 2 ½ hours in the forest, running on the snowmobile pack. Sometimes the snow was too soft and one or the other foot would sink down up to my knee, “postholing”. This would sometimes catch me off guard and I would fall. I actually enjoyed this though and settled into the idea that my traveling was now quite a bit different than it had been before. The sun was shining. I felt warm and comfortable. I could see young, bright green pines coming up in the old burn area where I was now running. Off in the distance, the rugged and rocky face of Haley Mountain was towering over the scene. I wondered about an access trail to the summit. I was moving towards its base and would then turn, running a 5 ½ mile lollipop trail through forest service land. Some of this trail is a part of the Highlands Halloween Hundred Trail Adventure Run (H3) that Ras and I hold Halloween weekend in October. I took a short break in here, nibbling on a nut mix.
The snow continued to soften as I ran. By the time I got out to Dry Gulch again, I was postholing on almost every step. I welcomed the road. I was happy with how my Altra Lone Peak trail running shoes were performing in these mixed conditions, transitioning easily from helping me keep good traction in the snow & mud, to giving me the support I needed on the hard pack dirt. I ran ¼ mile or so to get back to my car again. Each time I got there, it was easy to change out water bottles or clothing layers, have something to eat, and resupply my Nathan running vest with Cliff Blocks, nuts and new Perpetuem bottles (a liquid, vegan nutrition drink I can easily sip while running, made by Hammer Nutrition).
I felt just right all day in a hat and gloves. I dried my sweaty gloves out in the car between visits. A merino wool sweater with a thermal running hoodie was necessary, even though the sun kept poking through. There was enough of a breeze to keep it a little cool all day. Now it was time to run Jesse back up to the house. The driveway was muddy and snowy. Intermittent puddles made for creative footing. This was the most technical section of the run! Our driveway is ¼ of a mile long, so this would add a half mile onto my route. Jesse was ready to be done and he went inside to lap up some water and lay down on his cozy bed. I was off for more running.
Now I would repeat the 4 mile section of Dry Gulch. I felt good and relaxed, the benefits of so many hours of running through nature. With the spring melt, birds were returning to the highlands and I had seen my first robins and mountain bluebirds of the season. A bald eagle was perched high in an aspen, watching for the afterbirth the cows had been leaving behind. The sweet melodies of meadowlarks were nice to hear throughout the dirt road running. The mountain chickadees were singing their tunes also, preferring the forest with its large fir & tamarack trees.
I needed some more mileage after my 4 mile out n'back, so I went back up the snowy road into the forest service land. I felt grateful to be able to mix up the terrain I was running on and enjoy the quiet peacefulness that I felt as soon as I entered the forest. I ran up the road for ½ hour and then turned around. Back at the driveway, all that was left of my adventure was to check the mailbox ¼ mile away, run up the messy driveway and back down the final ¼ mile to the car.
The calm of late afternoon was surrounding me now. I felt a stillness in me like this time of day has, when activity comes to a close and dusk has not quite settled. The remaining daylight brought with it a sense of everything being just right. I had finished my self-supported ultra training run. It had been really fun and not as challenging as I thought it would be. During this same season, 2 years ago, I was just beginning trail running. I would steadfastly refuse to run the driveway at the beginning and end of runs for some reason, no matter how much Ras gently prodded. Now as Ras pulled up, finishing his work day, he was just in time to see me come running down the muddy driveway, a coincidence we could not have planned.
Done running for the day, I could now go in by the woodstove, warm up and cook a delicious meal of tofu scramble. Its really awesome being able to put together my own ultra distance run right out my front door. Turns out, staying happy and engaged in a run in my own neighborhood is not a problem after all.
My Ultrarunning Gear/Favorite Stuff List:
Nathan running vest (I have 2 sizes, depending on the distance & support available)
Nathan hand bottle with a spare bottle (or 2) filled & packed in my vest; if I will be filtering water, I bring a Sawyer water filter
Nathan 10 ounce flasks with Hammer Perpetuem, each flask holding a 2 hr. supply
Justin's nut butter pouches; baggies of nuts or seeds; peanut butter sandwich on sprouted grain bread; homemade peanut butter & dark chocolate energy ball; avacado
Clif Blocks (although I'm currently switching to Gu Chomps for the amino acid benefit)
Injinji toe socks (completely prevents blisters for me)
Altra Lone Peaks trail running shoes (zero drop design has been great for ankle stability & healing)
Smart Wool quarter zip, mid-weight merino wool sweater (perfect for layering, year round)
Brooks Thermal Running Hoodie (awesome warm outer layer with pocket for mp3 player)
KT brand kinesiotape (taping on both ankles has been giving me great support & confidence after having been prone to ankle rolls)
Black Diamond Z Poles (for runs with lots of climbing)
mp3 player loaded with Raggae Dancehall mixed tapes

Hypothesis: The Parallel Paths Of Trailrunning, Fastpacking, and Thruhiking Eventually Intersect
Wherein I address the question, Is the introduction of bigger prize purses at trail races a positive or negative thing overall?
As I have been oft heard to quip, I am a backpacker who became a back-of-the-packer, although even that pedigree is dubious. But trail culture is definitely my foundation. The practices and accoutrements of road and track running are foreign to me, sometimes downright offensive. Give me a trailhead over a starting corral any day. (I live in cattle country, so I'm uncomfortable being corralled. Neuterdom and the slaughterhouse are two common destinations for which a corral is a layover point.) I pack it in and pack it out. Images of bulldozers pushing up mounds of plastic cups horrify me. 'Leaving it all on the course' is an alien concept to me. My worldview presupposes the need or desire to cover the same amount of mileage again this afternoon, and tomorrow.
When you finish running or fastpacking or thruhiking a long trail, there is no one to cheer, no beverages and barbecue, and no lane bordered with colored flags leading to an inflatable finish arch, a novelty sized clock display, and a smiling race director. The tourists look at you sideways, wondering if you're safe to approach, and only you know what you have just accomplished. And no one hands you a check.
Prize purses are a product of road and track running culture, as are many other common practices at trail races. I don't have a moral or ethical objection to using financial enticements to elicit elite performances, a carat on a stick if you will, but I take issue with the extremely narrow scope of achievement which is celebrated in road and track culture. In a paradigm where speed is the only ideal, that end shapes its own means and defines the character of it's races.
Distances have to be standardized. Measurements must be precise. Yes, 50k is an unnaturally round number (although 31 miles has a seemingly organic awkwardness to it), but standardized distances make it possible to compare times across the country, around the world, and on a variety of not dissimilar courses. (Try juxtaposing the results of the Boston Marathon, the Comrades Marathon, and the Barkley Marathons and you'll quickly see.) But whether it's a traditional 26.2 miles, a 5k, or a 100 miler, the measurement defines the marathon and the distance decides the course.
Is this a positive or negative thing overall? Neither. It's just what it is. It's a factor, a shaping force in the evolution of trail running.
Prize money can draw elite runners, and I'm the first to admit the excitement of witnessing the fastest of the fast face off. I love the long term strategy of a physical and mental contest that stretches out over hours and hours. And while races such as the Chucknut 50k and Speedgoat 50k have done an excellent job of using monetary prizes to bring top competition their way, not a few of the best showdowns in recent years have been at Western States, where no prize money is on offer.
The reality is that the majority of trail runners, the bulk of the pack, the 99%, will never touch a podium, let alone cash a prize check. In essence, elite runners are playing a different game than most of us are. They are competing in a different sport: Competitive Running.
Here begins the prognostication. I foresee a future wherein the trail running scene, through an accelerated form of natural selection, becomes apportioned into specialized niches. I believe we are already seeing this.
Competitive Running will continue toward homogeneity. As sponsors invest more and more money into athletes and races, they will expect those athletes and races to produce more and more money. This will be accomplished not by bringing the average person onto the trail, but by bringing trail running into the average person's living room via television and internet.
Multiple loop courses will become de rigueur because they facilitate broadcasting. The smaller the loop, and the more laps required to make the distance, the less race and media infrastructure will be needed to create a network quality sports show. A fleet of cameramen is far more affordable than a fleet of helicopters, which would be needed to film a point to point 100 miler. Profits will increase, and with them will come all the baggage and benefits of any professional sport.
Conversely, Adventure Running, running for challenge, achievement, and experience, will follow its bliss away from the trappings and limitations of Competitive Running.
I foresee the advent of the Age of the Non-Standard Distance, organic distances based on geographic features. Classic trails, mountains, and rivers will define race courses. Upon completion of the 93 mile Wonderland Trail around the base of Mount Rainier, in Washington State, one doesn't think, "Just seven more miles and it would have been perfect." Running around The Mountain is enough, and if 93 is the number, then 93 is just fine. In trail culture each trail stands on it's own as a test piece. How does the Tahoe Rim Trail compare to the Rim to Rim to Rim? It doesn't. It doesn't have to. The trail, the environs, and the geographic features define the course. The measurement is an afterthought.
New paradigms of achievement will arise. Speed will still be valued, but not at the expense of everything else, more in terms of efficiency. Style, in the alpine sense of technique or methodology, will be more highly revered. Sustainability in every sense will become a paramount ethic; not only in terms of making use of the natural world in a way that preserves it, but also in a way that preserves the athlete and promotes their well being and continued striving. Unsupported, self supported, and multi-day events will proliferate, allowing fastpackers and hikers to participate in some of the same events as ultrarunners and trail runners. Fastest Known Times, Only Known Times, Thruhikes, and Peak Bagging will capture the imagination and ambitions of greater numbers of runners.
But this is a trajectory that was plotted well before substantial prize money came into play. Large prize purses are a factor, a breeze, an influence, but not an evolutionary force in and of themselves. The real force driving this evolution is the human drive to push, to test, to challenge, and to find that elusive new thing under the sun.

But on this early morning, the sky was gray and the temperature remained cold when Lisa and I met at the trailhead at 7:30. Lisa is a great cross-country skiing partner. We have a lot in common, like following a vegan diet and enjoying what grows from the earth. She makes wonderful soaps and pine needle baskets. We first met at a local winter ice fishing festival several years ago. I was selling little scrap fabric & wool dolls that I make while she was vending her wares.
During the summers, she works on trails. She heads out into the Pasayten Wilderness, carrying everything she needs on her back plus a huge cross-cut saw and clears the trees that have come down across the trails over the winter. She goes out for 9 day stretches at a time, no matter what the weather. Early season can mean traveling through lots of snow and making her way across waist high, early season creeks, swift with snow melt. My 19 year old daughter Angela went out on her first ever “hitch” with Lisa last summer and no matter what their circumstance (traversing a snowy slope under a cornice of snow, coming across a wolverine, unhappy to see them) she said Lisa always held her cool. That has proven to be true. She always has a smile on her face.
I always have some comforts ready to grab easily when I finish a day on the trail. This time I had a blanket to sit on & one to wrap around me, the rest of my thermos of coffee, cozy wool- lined boots to slide my worn feet into and new memories dancing through my head.
Last week I had been on a ski trip in the Rendezvous Mountain area near Mazama, in the foothills of the North Cascades. Lisa had been along and another gal Rise', who wrote a cool little bluesy tune on her guitar called “Diamonds in the Snow” for all of us. She sang it throughout our stay in the cabin. Lisa and I had remembered it earlier in the day as we skied. The snow sparkles likes diamonds in the sunlight of day, but now, sitting in the dark, all that sparkled were the stars outside and a sense of peace inside.

Great to hear the progress coming along on LDAP. I’ve been toying with the idea of setting up an LDAP server to sync contacts, and perhaps logins between desktop/laptop.
Along with that, it would also be a big step to see some more documentation and tutorials for setting up an LDAP server. My unfamiliarity, coupled with the sparse and outdated collection of documentation, is was steered me away in the first place.

Excellent step forward. I’m mostly interested in setting up an ubuntu small business server, and although openldap is the way forward, very small steps are taken to make openldap a breeze to work with. Hopefully with the on-the-fly configurability things will move into a brighter position.

Mmm…Malai kofta…
Posted on February 17, 2013 by Yoga Devi
Rahul’s delicious Malai kofta…
“If you had one last meal what would it be?”…I love when this topic of conversation comes up. For me the answer has been the same for years. It would be Rahul’s Malai kofta and a glass of chilled Sauvignon blanc wine.
His tasty recipe comes from the wonderful cookbook “100 Vegetarian Gravies” by Mrs. S. Mallika Badrinath. You can buy this cookbook all over India for 55 rupees…a real bargain.
Carrot ~ 100 gms, Beans ~ 100 gms, Peas ~ 100 gms, Potatoes ~ 100 gms, Cornflour ~ 2 tbs, Tomatoes ~ 1/4 kg, Breadcrumbs ~ 2 tbsp, Onions ~ 1 or 2, Ginger ~ 1 inch piece, Garlic cloves ~ 4, Cinnamon ~ 1 stick, Cloves ~ 5, Fresh cream ~ 1 1/2 cups, turmeric, chilli powder, ground coriander powder
Cashew nuts ~ 1 handful , Poppy seeds ~ 1 tbsp
Blanch tomatoes in hot water, remove the skin and make into a paste.
Cut all the vegetables very finely and steam.
When it is cooled completely, add 2 tablespoons of cornflour, breadcrumbs, salt and a little chilli powder.
Mash together, make small balls, flatten them a little with hand and deep fry in hot oil.
Keep aside. Make a paste of ginger and garlic.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil or ghee in pan and add cinnamon, cloves, ginger/garlic paste, onions and fry.
When it turns into a golden brown add turmeric powder, salt, dried coriander powder and then tomato puree.
Cook for a few minutes then mix in ground cashews, poppy seeds and fresh cream. Pour in enough water and cook until thick.
Cook for 5-10 minutes and remove from heat. To serve arrange koftas in the serving dish then pour the hot gravy on top. Sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander leaves.

dnd 5e - How can a level 20 warlock cast Magic Jar? - Role-playing Games Stack Exchange
An evil warlock has killed all but two of the party. He then proceeded to trap the party wizard, and cast Magic Jar on her to trap her in a sacred jewel that the other party member, a paladin, is honour-bound to preserve.
There's a large issue with this though: warlocks can't cast Magic Jar.
Not only is this warlock a warlock, they are a level 20 warlock. They can't, for example, have 19 levels in warlock and 1 in wizard, then have used a scroll to cast Magic Jar.
Anything else about the warlock is changeable. They can have any number of Epic Boons, any race, etc.
How can it be that they cast Magic Jar?

\$\begingroup\$ Was the Warlock a PC or an NPC? If it was an NPC, how do you know what levels it has in what classes? \$\endgroup\$ – Gandalfmeansme May 28 '18 at 15:42
\$\begingroup\$ Larger issue - Magic Jar only targets the caster. So the warlock must have cast something else. \$\endgroup\$ – aroth May 29 '18 at 8:59
\$\begingroup\$ @aroth What I meant was, cast magic jar on himself to put himself inside the sacred jewel, then possessed the paladin. \$\endgroup\$ – Piomicron May 29 '18 at 9:10
\$\begingroup\$ How do you know he was a level 20 warlock? \$\endgroup\$ – enkryptor May 29 '18 at 10:37
This Warlock knows how to cast Magic Jar
That's it. That's all it takes. This guy can just do that.
In 5e, NPCs don't need to follow Player Class restrictions or guidelines. Dragons don't have Sorcerer levels, but can do magic. The Master Thief doesn't have Rogue levels but gets Sneak Attack and Uncanny Dodge. Lich gets 18th-level Wizard Spellcasting but doesn't need a spellbook or arcane focus and has a +7 proficiency (not even level 20 wizards get that).
The rules for players simply do not apply to NPCs.

NPCs are not bound by character rules.
So what if your NPC is a Warlock? You're the DM, and you can create whatever you want. You can create a custom enemy that resembles very closely a Warlock, and that is also able to cast that spell, no explanations required. As to why he can do it, it could be a number of reasons, some more RaW than others.
[RaW] Warlock's pal cast a Wish for him to know it
Warlock's patron has favored him with this spell
Special magical item that allows him to cast it once (like KorvinStarmast's Artifact)
Warlock has 20 Warlock levels and 1 Wizard level, and is using a scroll
Warlock has 20 Warlock Levels and 12 Wizard Levels
Please remember, NPCs are built differently from PCs. They are meant to have a single encounter, against a party of players. Players are meant to work in groups and have several encounters every day. Sure, you can model your villains after classes, but there is no need to bind them to actual rules. Bend them a bit, give your villains cooler things to do, more damage, less HP, and, in this case, a cool new spell!

The Warlock may have an Artifact
On page 219 of the DMG, there is a Major Beneficial Property on the Artifact table that allows the artifact's possessor to cast a sixth level spell. (Entry roll 71-80). There are no class restrictions on the spell stated in that description. The property includes chances for being able to cast a 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th level spell. It is a fairly powerful feature, since that spell may end up being cast more than once ...
Once cast, roll on a d6; on a 1-5 the spell cannot be cast again until the next dawn. (DMG, p. 219)
A level 20 character having an artifact is not beyond the limits of the game.
Beyond that, the DM can provide that spell because the DM in D&D 5e is master of rules. (DMG, p. 5; also the topic of Part III of the DMG). While none of the warlock NPC characters in Volo's Guide to Monsters are shown as having that spell, the DM can include that spell for any caster who could cast 6th level (or above) spells. Two other answers address this point as well.
Modifying a Class Spell list is addressed in the DMG
Changing Spell Lists (DMG, p 287) addresses this case directly.
Modifying a class's spell list usually has little effect on the character's power but can change the flavor of a class significantly. ... you could build a new paladin spell list with spells meant to protect their masters, drawn from the sorcerer or wizard lists. Be cautious when changing the warlock's spell list. Since warlocks regain their spell slots after a short rest, they have the potential to use certain spells more times in a day than other classes.
Given that magic jar is a 6th level spell, the limitation imposed by mystic arcanum (cast once per day; PHB, p. 108) would be a sensible choice by the DM in this case.
While the NPC spell casters typically remain within the same spell list as a given class (p. 342, MM) even when spell swapping is decided, the customization of an NPC to include spells from other lists is similar to how a bard can use spells from other lists via Magic Secrets, how a Cleric's Domain spells often come from other spell lists, or how a Warlock's Pact of the Tome ability provides (ritual) spells from other classes. It's not a huge reach to customize an NPC with spells from another spell list. The Changing Spell Lists section (DMG, p. 287) addresses this directly.

V Hotel Phnom Penh $41 ($̶8̶2̶). Phnom Penh Hotel Deals & Reviews - KAYAK
V Hotel Phnom Penh - Phnom Penh, Cambodia
"Nice rooftop pool and good breakfast!."
"Narrow thin building, very dark inside."
"Construction on a building next door woke me each morning."
Good choice of food at breakfast and it was kept topped up so that nothing ran out. Very clean rooms and helpful staff. Pool was exceptionally clean.
Bathroom was a little dark and the balcony was not really usable so don't expect to be able to sit out there with a drink.
Hotel arranged taxi with no issues, big sized room clean comfortable
Location: Centrally located, very good, ANTS are freely roaming in the room. Breakfast: Good, but small flies/insects are roaming and on the fruits and pudding, plum cakes.
Water not hot and door not able to access. Have to change room n not able to use the bath tub due heater not working.
Location is still okay, like always when I stay in this hotel. Some 2 km from center, though. Walkable, in my modest opinion. Room size is large enough.
Lift didn't work; I got trapped. Long way wolking up the stairs. Strict check-out time policy. Not always attentive service: A half eaten meal infront of my neighbour's room was taken away only after more than 24 hours.

Summernationals homeless after Raceway Park drops drag racing
ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. -- The NHRA Summernationals no longer have a home.
The owners of Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, have informed the National Hot Rod Association they no longer will host drag racing events, effective immediately.
The Napp family, which has owned and operated the track since its opening in 1965, announced Tuesday a reorganization of the company's business operations.
It is really sad to hear about the loss of Englishtown. That track was run by a great man, Vinnie Napp, and his son, they did a really good job. They were great promoters and built up stars like Jungle Jim and they gave me the chance to go across the country and race... pic.twitter.com/0sPACTUoZ8
— John Force (@JohnForce_FC) January 17, 2018
While drag racing on the quarter-mile or eighth-mile track will end immediately, Raceway Park will use the stadium portion of the facility to continue most of its operations, including auto swap meets, numerous car shows, motocross and kart races and other events.
The 49th annual NHRA Summernationals were scheduled to take place this June.
NHRA President Glen Cromwell said in a statement that the Summernationals have been an important part of NHRA's history, and he hopes fans nearby can go to another event.
😢 Can't believe we won't be racing there anymore. Heartbroken because it was a great track and the fans are always awesome in Englishtown.. Thank you for all the great memories there. https://t.co/OvtxpfDLpa
— Courtney Force (@courtneyforce) January 17, 2018
The association says no additional changes are anticipated for the 2018 Mello Yello NHRA Drag Racing schedule.
The Napp family thanked the association, racers and fans in a statement.
The track is officially known as Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.

1. Aggressively reduce debt
Take a good, hard look at your short-term liabilities, including credit cards. Set aggressive goals to cut your expenditures, increase your savings and available credit, and work hard to eliminate any debt with high interest rates.
2. Find one-three additional revenue streams
This could be a side business, a part-time position, selling of stuff that you can produce or obtain (excluding theft). Start building now in the event that you need to ratchet up one or more of these sources quickly.
3. Prepare your resume for August 2008 and June 2009
This isn’t a typing and formatting exercise. What do you want it to look like after the first half of this year? What can you get done over the next eighteen months? Be prepared as companies will accelerate layoffs under the earnings pressures to come. If your company is struggling, now is a great time to start networking. It is always easier to find a job when you have one.
4. Make the switch if you’re thinking about it
Have you been pondering taking a new path in your career, say switching to being and educator or heading to Healthcare? Figure out how to start back into educating yourself as soon as possible so that you’re ready with new skills in 1-3 years.
5. Celebrate life
While you cut costs, find fewer better things to do with your time and resources. Cook and over-the-top gourmet meal once a month. Take only one big trip but make it the best one ever. Take on a new hobby that interests someone else important to you. Shut off your computer two days a week when you aren’t working. Use this time as a time to energize the health of your relationships and yourself.
6. Acquire opportunistically
There will be deals to be had, so find some resources to take advantage of them. This means that you’ll have to spend more time being sure you know whatever it is that you’re focused on (so that you know when the deals are great or when you’re the sucker). This year will be a year of the buyer for many, many things if you have the resources deploy. Find some resources to deploy and get after.
7. Wait a bit longer, then spend on advertising and marketing
These are the prime areas to cut in most businesses, which means these are the prime times to get great deals as well as to stand out in whatever industry you are in. If you are in the advertising and marketing industry, this will be a time where ROI and creativity will be king.
8. Don’t shrink away at work
Benjamin Franklin, in his autobiography, said that he carried a large package across the streets in the morning then returned with it in the afternoon. The purpose was to give the impression that he was a hard worker. Now is the time to be a hard worker. Take on more responsibility and don’t quibble about whether you should be paid for it. Become indispensable and visible. Make absolutely sure that whatever you do is contributing directly to the success of your company. Find cost savings each month, no matter how trivial. Run with growth ideas.
9. Hold off on toys
Even if the next plasma screen or iPhone looks enticing, just say no. Liquidity is more important than being cool.
10. Take the losses
Sell whatever you were going to sell at the best price you can get. It won’t get any better later.
Bonus for parents Teach your kids what’s important in life Don’t let this be a time that breaks your family apart or tears down your marriage. Show your kids how irrelevant things are, how unimportant what everyone else has is to your self-worth, how important intimacy and involvement are in the lives of your family. Use this time as a time of rebirth for your loved ones rather than a time of tremendous stress.

Brumby threatens court showdown over ministerial staffers – The National Interest – 16 April 2010
The Victorian government is heading for a showdown with parliament over whether ministerial staff can be compelled to give evidence before an upper house committee.
The row, sparked by a planning controversy, brings up issues that go to the very heart of our system of government and the separation of powers between the executive, the legislature and the judiciary.
The Standing Committee on Finance and Public Administration in the Victorian Legislative Council has summoned three ministerial advisers to appear before it on the 29th of April, but the Attorney General Rob Hulls is instructing them not to turn up.
If the staff in question follow the Attorney General’s direction and don’t show then they run the risk of being in contempt of parliament – and could even end up in jail.
Liberal MLC in the Victorian parliament, Opposition planning spokesman and member of the Standing Committee on Finance and Public Administration
Associate Professor at Monash University Law School

BogsBlog: Clarity Amid The Muck: Saddam On Trial Part III: Hanging With A Bad Element
A somewhat subdued Saddam returned to a Baghdad courtroom today to continue his trial.
It’s unclear how the man is going to defend his years of brutality and murder once he takes the stand. In any event, it’s very doubtful much of what he says will be coherent.
One subject we should pay close attention to, though, is what he may say about the United States and our former relationship with him.
There was a time when Saddam hated Iran as much as we did/do. And since he was their neighbor, and as such was in a good position to lob SCUDs at them, we supported him through the 1980-1988 Iraq-Iran War.
Donald Rumsfeld even paid him a cordial wartime visit in 1983.
The man we supported was the same fellow who initiated a blood purge against his own party after he took power in 1979, ordered a 1982 massacre and razing of an Iraq village, and later topped off the Iraq-Iran War by gassing thousands of Kurdish civilians.
It’s clear why we would back a man like Saddam – he’s so much nicer than those American hostage-taking Iranians.
So if Saddam starts spewing bile about America while on the stand, we can’t automatically dismiss it as the ravings of a madman (whatever he may have looked like when he was pulled from that spider hole).
The fact is, we have historically trained, funded or otherwise supported many, many bad people, or simply looked the other way while they committed their crimes, whenever it suited us.
Remember Osama bin Laden and the Taliban? We trained those characters to fight off the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan back in the 80s. Osama and friends later repaid us with 9/11.
A major mea culpa is in order for America, if not just because it’s the right thing to do, to beat Saddam to the punch he may soon be throwing. What right did we have to go after a monster that we aided and abetted without first admitting our complicity in his monstrosities?
That’s many things: disingenuous, hypocritical, and just plain wrong. One thing we should never call it, though, is “American.”
Before we fired bullet #1 against the brutal dictator of Iraq in 1991 or 2003, our country should have stated to the world:
We helped Saddam rise to power.
We were wrong to help such a brutal, immoral man, whatever the benefit to us.
We’ll never knowingly do it again.
The duty for this theoretical confession would obviously have fallen on the leader of our country; that would be President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush, respectively.
It’s still not too late to renounce our onetime chumminess with Saddam, one very bad element indeed. And while we’re at it, why don’t we throw Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Sudan and a few others we’re still supporting into the mix?
Messrs. Bush, how ‘bout it?

SC Resident in Charge of Daphne's Overhaul - Business - San Clemente, CA Patch
SC Resident in Charge of Daphne's Overhaul
Announced this week, Daphne's Greek Cafe will become Daphne's California Greek; new owners will change the menu and overhaul the stores.
, March 23, 2011 at 04:23 PM
, the fast-casual restaurant chain with about 60 restaurants, mostly in California, will get a new look and new menu—and the man heading up the changes is a San Clemente resident.
Bill Trefethen, an investor and a surfer in San Clemente and the new CEO of Daphne’s (now called “Daphne’s California Greek”) said to look for changes at the San Clemente store this summer—the company will be remodeling two locations a week throughout the coming year until each has a hip new décor.
“We’re kind of filling the Mediterranean space,” Trefethen said. “The Mediterranean diet is getting some good press. The Daphne’s menu really hasn’t changed in the last 20 years.”
He said the restaurants will get a healthier menu, and the cuisine will move from classic Greek foods to “Greek-inspired” California cuisine. The aim is a fast-casual atmosphere that captures more of the sit-down dining crowd; think Chipotle with a less hard-edged urban feel, Trefethen said.
The restaurant will also serve beer and wine.
For a preview of what the Daphne’s on Pico in San Clemente will look like, you can visit the one in Aliso Viejo.
As an example of the updated menu, the new “California Greek Salad” is being added in April. He said it’s doing well among test diners.
“It’s more of a chop salad with pine nuts and gorgonzola dressing,” Trefethen said. “It’s doing as well as our most popular item, the traditional Greek salad.”
The restaurant will be adding a new salad to the menu every month, adding a grilled salmon dish, introducing flatbread pizza in the fall and California-izing the gyro offerings.
“Pretty much anything you can do with a pita you can do with a burrito,” Trefethen said.
Whatever the new menus will be, it will be good to have menus like this Colorado Salad chain has for people with food restrictions has-check it at www.madgreens.com and check their 'Interactive Allergy Menus'

2. Slice the petite sirloin into 1/4 inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half to create bite size pieces. Pour the corn starch into a shallow bowl or plate. Dip the steak into the cornstarch to apply a thin coat. Shake off any excess. Let the steak sit for 5 minutes to allow the cornstarch to stick. 3. Pour a small amount of oil into a large skillet – just enough to cover the entire surface of the skillet but not enough to pool. You don’t want to submerge the steak in the oil. As an alternative, you can PAM the skillet, but you will have to re-PAM the skillet each time you add fresh steak to the skillet. Add about half of the steak to the pan – do not allow the steak to overlap – and cook over medium-high heat. You’ll have to cook in 2-3 waves. Flip the steak over when the bottom has browned, about 3-5 minutes. Cook another 3-5 minutes then remove the steak to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat until the remaining steak is cooked. Note: You do not have to completely cook the steak, you’re about to put the steak back into the pan.
4. Pour off any remaining oil from the skillet. Place the skillet back over medium-high heat. Pour all of the steak back into the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 5. Remove the sauce from heat and pour over the steak. Stir to coat each piece of steak evenly in sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Acing the Winged Eyeliner | Aries Quaintrelles
To all girls out there, I know the difficulty you experienced in acing that winged eyeliner! I have been able to do mine when I was in college using a Youtube tutorial. Below is the best image to illustrate how it's done.
1. Decide how you want your winged eyeliner to look like. Also, decide if you want it thin or thick. I usually depend it on my application on the first eye. For some, you can also use a tape or spoon to trace the wing.
You can either open or close your eyes when applying. I open mine when I apply it because it's easier although it entails more precision so that it will look good and parallel with the other eye.
2. Start in the center (the easiest) when applying.
3. Thenmove outwards to meet the wing.
4. Fill in the space with the liquid eyeliner you're using.
5. Draw from the innermost of the eyes up to the center.
6. Fill in the space then voila!
Right now, I am using Snoe Eye Boop Liquid Eyeliner. It's really affordable and looks good on me. It doesn't chip or smudge either.
(C) Snoe Beauty Inc
Here's a photo of mine with a winged eyeliner. It's my photo during our Halloween Craze at work.
Hope I gave you an easy tip to look good. Add a comment »

Video-Using Cold Frames for Winter Gardening
Posted on October 26, 2010	by newholisticliving
If you don’t think you can make it through the winter without at least a bit of gardening, try using cold frames to protect your plants through the cold season. You can use cold frames for anything from storing and protecting plants from the fall until spring, to planting winter vegetables such as lettuce, kale, spinach, and other yummy greens (these tend to like cooler weather anyway).
You can build small or large cold frames, depending on your space and carpentry ability. This video shows some pretty advanced cold frames, built down into the ground, which provides height as well as warmth. (This one is keeping plants warm in the dead of winter, in Massachusetts, so it really does work!)
Check back in a few days, and we’ll share another video with examples of some simpler and smaller frames, that almost anyone could construct. (If video doesn’t appear below, please click the link to view.)

Want to get a jump-start on the growing season or store plants for the winter? Dave shows you two different cold frames — structures that allow you to shelter plants from the cold.
