Now on to the story!
This was not going to be what I called a good time. But the boss had made it clear that the donors wanted the staff to be there, so we would be there. It was to be a black tie event, certainly not the kind of thing I had ever been to, let alone dressed for.
Finding a dress had been an adventure in itself. I must have gone to almost every shop in town that had formal dresses before I walked into this little shop. On the outside it looked kind of dumpy, but it had some of the most beautiful dresses in the window, so on a whim I decided to look inside.
The little old lady behind the counter looked to be about two hundred years old, stooped over and haggard. She looked me up and down and then announced she had the perfect dress for me, before I even had a chance to tell her what I was looking for. She led me to a dressing room with the walls completely covered in mirrors, and told me to get undressed, she would be back in a second. I protested that I wanted to see what she had in mind first, and she scolded me gently and insisted I undress. "everything dear." She said as she left.
She came back a few moments later with a hanger containing an absolutely stunning black evening dress. It was a strapless, which always made me feel uncomfortable, and had an angular hem. The material shimmered in the light, making it look almost alive.
"Come now deerie. Everything." The old lady said gently, sensing that I was a bit uncomfortable. "No one here but us two, and I can assure you I've seen every kind of body imaginable."
I turned away and undid my bra straps and let it slide down my arms, dropping onto the single bench in the center of the room with the rest of my clothes. Taking a deep breath, I slipped my white panties down my legs and stepped out of them, not fully understanding why I needed to be so completely naked to try on a dress. But I found myself following her directions even as my mind feebly protested.
"Here." She said simply, pulling the black dress off the hanger and holding it out for me. I stepped into the dress and wiggled my hips as I pulled it up. The material felt so sensual against my skin, almost as if it were caressing me. Just the feeling of it against my skin started a tingling deep inside me. I worked the material up my body until I settled the strapless top over my large breasts. The dress seemed to mold itself to my body, holding and cupping my breasts almost as if it were a set of hands. I looked at myself in the mirrors and realized that the back of the dress was almost non-existent, the material scooping down to almost to the round of my firm ass, a few delicate strings holding it together almost as if by magic. I turned from side to side, my breasts moving ever so slightly inside the top of the dress, gently tickling my quickly hardening nipples.
The old lady disappeared for a moment, and came back carrying a pair of shoes, black silk stockings and a black lace garter belt. "These are all you need to complete the outfit." She said. "Try the shoes, just to be sure."
I watched her set them on the ground and stepped into them, each fitting as perfectly as the dress had. "Perfect. How did you know my size?" I asked as I moved on the three inch heels, turning admiring how my body looked in the dress. My right thigh showed halfway up from my knee, giving a tantalizing view of my legs, while the angular hem dropped to well below my knee on the left. The effect was a combination of class and sexiness. As I moved the dress continued to caress my breasts and nipples, making my pussy wetter by the second.
"It's perfect!" I said with a smile. "I'll take it."
"Very well. You dress, and I'll go write up the ticket."
I stepped out of the shoes and started to slide the dress down my body. I so wanted to touch myself, and after placing the dress on the hanger, finally gave into a desire that I didn't seem to be able to control. I sat on the bench in the middle of the room, lifting one leg onto the bench I stroked my finger between my lips, surprised at how wet I had become. I stroked gently up, drawing my moisture across my clit while I watched my body in the mirrors, enjoying how sexy I looked, wishing that my finger were a hard cock. It only took a few strokes before I closed my eyes and allowed the feelings to wash over me, my pussy practically vibrating in delight as the tingles of electricity raced through my body, from my pussy to my tits to every inch of me. My body twitched as I moaned quietly with the sensations flowing over me. I removed my fingers from my sopping pussy, suddenly feeling self conscious, sitting in front of all the mirrors.
I quickly dressed, hoping the little old lady didn't find out what I had done. Finally dressed I stepped out of the dressing room and carried the dress, shoes and lingerie to the counter.
"That will be seventy eight even," She said, holding out a little slip of paper.
"Your sure? That sounds awfully inexpensive."
"Yes, that is correct. Cash or check will be fine."
I nodded and pulled the checkbook out of my purse. It only took a moment to write the check while she placed the dress in a long plastic bag.
I got home and almost ran to the bedroom, hanging the dress on the doorknob. I couldn't wait to try the dress on again, this time pulling out the other items as well. I undressed and looked at myself in the full length mirror. My body was far from what I would like it to be, and far from what most men wanted. I shook my head and then sat down in a chair to pull on the stockings. One at a time, I rolled them and slide my hands up my long legs, allowing the silk to stretch and form to my legs, caressing them sensuously. I loved the feel of real silk against my skin, and my pussy was already tingling with the feel of the silk. I stepped into the garter and settled it around my hips, clipping the tops of the silk stockings in place.
I pulled the dress from the bag and looked at the shimmery material, anticipating how it would feel. I stepped into the dress and began to slowly pull it up, feeling it caress my body with each inch I pulled it up. I worked it up until it cupped my full breasts, my nipples hardening as the dress seemed to tease them. I turned side to side, admiring how the dress made me look, realizing that I looked every bit as good as a starlet in the shimmery black material. In the mirror I was pleased to see that my rock hard nipples barely showed in the top of the dress. I tried walking around and with each step my nipples felt like they were being teased by the dress, making me wetter by the second. My pussy was practically vibrating and tingling with anticipation.
I walked over to the bed and sat on the end, looking at myself in the full length mirror on my closet doors. I slowly pulled the hem of the dress up, exposing my wet lips to my sight and my fingers. I gently stroked myself, more turned on that I could remember in a long time. Spreading my legs wider, I leaned back and moaned as my finger bounced across my hard clit, making me jump with the tingles it shot through my whole body. I was in a dream land of pleasure as my fingers stroked myself, seeking that perfect spot, while my deep panting breaths teased my nipples along the inside of the dress. I felt the warmth spread through me as my orgasm grew, little tingles starting at my clit and slowly flowing out toward all of my body, my nipples tensing even harder as they responded to the gentle strokes of my breathing. I lay my head back, my mouth hanging open in pure ecstasy as the waves of sensation washed back and forth over me, my pussy gushing juices over my fingers with each new wave of utter delight.
I lost track of time as I continued to tease myself, not even remembering how I came to lay on the bed with my dress pulled up and my legs spayed wide. I looked down at the mirror and saw myself, laying with a contented look, feeling as if I had just been very well fucked.
The entire next day I had worked with anticipation, waiting for the day to be over. I hadn't been looking forward to the reception, yet now, the thought of wearing that dress, in public, knowing how it turns me on, and how wet I will be. Yes, I was now looking forward to it. Now standing in front of the mirror, caressing my almost naked body, I couldn't wait to slip the dress on. My fingers teased my nipples, almost as if asking them if they were ready. I knew my pussy was ready. My aroma was strong in my own nostrils as I clipped the lace garter to the tops of the stockings. I so wanted to be spread by a hard dick, and feel the largeness push into me. I stepped into the dress in anticipation, feeling the dress caress my body as I settled it into place. God I was so horny and so wanted to be taken by as strong man, my nipples sucked and my pussy filled.
All the way to the reception I wished I had taken the time to use one of my little toys to make myself climax. I felt so horny, so turned on. But the time for that was past, I would just have to wait until later, much later.
At first I barely noticed him, just another black tuxedo in a sea of black. Then I saw his eyes, the cut of his jaw. There was something captivating about him. He was far from drop dead hansom, yet the way he carried himself, the way he moved told volumes. I moved with him, but always at a distance. I wondered if he knew he was being watched. Part of me wanted to walk over and kiss him, sensuously. Yet the stronger part made me hold back, watching him. He stood talking to a tall woman. I could see him between heads as I stood near the wall. Suddenly his eyes locked with mine. His conversation never changed, yet his mouth curled up in just the slightest of smiles. He knew, somehow he knew. My stomach was filled with butterflies and my wet pussy grew even wetter as I realized that all this time, he knew I was watching him.
Excusing himself from the woman he was talking with he turned, and walked away. I was afraid I'd lost him, he was headed off, to... who knows where. I almost ran after him, but my feet were rooted to the ground in fear. He reached for a glass of Champaign from a passing tray, took two, and then turned to look at me, his eyes once again boring into mine, making any resistance melt away. I wanted him, and more, I wanted him to want me. He cocked his head slightly, almost imperceptibly, but I saw it, how could I not see it? It was meant for me. He turned and walked away, and I followed, as obediently as if I were on a leash.
I had no idea where he was going, or what he planned, but I didn't care, I wanted him. I wanted him to want me, so I followed. He led me across the wide lawn to the small lake and across the small wooden bridge to an isolated island. He turned and waited for me, holding both glasses, part way between the bridge and a small gazebo, lit gently with tiny flicking lights. He said not a word, simply held out the glass and then slipped his arm around me. He steered me gently into the small structure, allowing me time to step gently up the stairs on my heels. I turned to face him, looking deep into his blue eyes, feeling my desire burn inside me. He reached out and took my glass, setting them both on the railing of the gazebo, and then stepped forward. His arms were powerful and strong, yet he held me as delicately as if I were breakable china.
I circled my arms around him, pulling him to me, pressing my breasts into his chest as he lowered his lips to mine. His kiss was electric, causing all those butterflies in my stomach to fly throughout my body. I practically melted in his arms as he stroked my nearly naked back with is strong hands. His gentle kiss continued, our lips tasting, searching, gently teasing each other even as his hands were slowly pulling my dress over my hips.
For a moment I was afraid, what if someone saw us, noticed what we were doing. But my desire for him, my lust for feeling his strongness inside me overcame, and I moved my arms to his neck and stepped back enough to let him have his way. I so wanted him to have is way with me.
His hands pushed my dress down over my hips, the material dragging across my rock hard nipples before they were exposed to the cool night air. He knelt before me, breaking the kiss with my lips and kissing down my neck and chest as he knelt. I felt his hot breath on each of my hard nipples as I looked down, anticipating, longing for him to wrap his soft lips around both of my hard nipples.
I moaned loudly as he sucked my right nipple into his mouth, his tongue working slow teasing circles around it while he caressed my bare ass. My hands pulled his head to my breast, my eyes closing in pleasure as he teased and licked my hard nub. I felt his hands leave my naked ass, but I didn't care, as long as his mouth continued to push me slowly up the climb toward the climax I had been longing for for hours. His mouth disconnected briefly from my right breast, only to close again on the left, bringing yet another moan of pleasure. My mind screamed at me that I was standing naked in the open, my body being taken by a man I didn't know. My body silenced my mind as his fingers teased across my wet lips, stroking some of my moisture up and across my exposed clit, a shudder shooting through my whole body.
I was disappointed when he pulled his head away again, leaving his hot saliva to cool on my breast. I opened my eyes to look and saw him getting up from his knees, his body somehow as naked as mine was. I never even felt him move from me his attention to my nipples so intense.
He backed me slowly to the railing and gently lifted me up, sitting me on the wide board. With a smile he spread my legs and stepped between them, his hard dick pointing up at me, looking at me, begging to be touched. I reached out gently with both hands and grasped his rock hard cock, gently stroking it as he reached for a Champaign glass. He dipped his finger and gently drew small circles around my nipples, teasing then with the cold liquid as I gently stroked his dick.
I wanted him to fill me, I wanted him deep inside my wet pussy. I pulled him toward me, aiming his hard head at my wet lips. Willingly he stepped forward, allowing me to press him against me, and then leaning forward to slowly push into me. Gently, slowly, tenderly, he pushed his wide head deep into me, making my tunnel spread and stretch around him. Again a moan escaped me as my body reveled in his attention, his dick slowly filling my whole being. If there were a heaven, this had to be it. My body cried in pleasure as he stroked slowly in and out of me, his fingers teasing my nipples. I reached out and held him around the neck for balance as I lifted and spread my legs, wrapping them around him. I could feel him move in me, his mushroom head pushing and caressing my tunnel as my heels rested on his constantly moving rear.
With each stroke I felt the tingle grow. I knew I wasn't going to last much longer, my climax slowly building to where I couldn't contain it. My body cried out in pleasure as the first tremors washed across my legs, only to be driven into a frenzy as I felt the first strong surges of his cum flow into me. His dick jumped and jerked, his cum filling me as my own body jerked and trembled in pure ecstasy. My body cried, and I cried into the night, as the pleasure washed over me time and again, the intensity more than I had ever recalled. For what seemed like hours I felt his hard dick twitch and buck inside my spasming pussy, never wanting the feeling to leave.
Finally, slowly, almost dreamily, the feeling slipped away, leaving me panting, wanting more. I opened my eyes to see my lover, to look into his deep blue eyes and thank him for such an incredible gift. But all there was to see was darkness, broken only by the twinkling of the small lights. I looked down and saw myself, fully dressed, yet still flushed and panting from the incredible strength of my climax. I reached between my legs, hiking the dress up, touching my pussy, feeling the wetness leaking from me.
Confusion set in quickly. Where was my lover. Was he a dream? Had I imagined the whole thing? How could that have been. He was so perfect, exactly what I wanted, needed, desired. I shook my head, deciding that I had made the fantasy up in my head, disappointed that my perfect lover was only in my mind.
I slipped off the rail and stared to the stairs, freezing in my tracks as I looked at the wide railing, and two half empty Champaign glasses sitting with a black bowtie looped around the stems, tying them tighter as one.

2002 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Crew Cab 4x4 Dually $6250.00 SOLD
I think it is about time I part with the vehicle I have kept the longest of any I have owned...
I have a 2002 Chevy 3500 Crew cab 4x4 that I have used as a work truck (has some work truck scratches and wear). Has a 6.0 Gas engine. Most winters I would park it, so it is better than most in the rust department. Has some surface rust at bottom of drivers door, and corner of window opening, ds rear door. I herculined rockers and tailgate bottom after a few rust bubbles showed (sand blasted, epoxy primed, and lined) - needs to be done again. Gray cloth interior shows wear on edge of drivers seat. Has an older Pioneer cd radio and I think Alpine speakers... And one of the good older Optima batteries that has lived at least half of its life on a trickle charger while the truck was stored. Has a draw-tite brake controller. Truck has 131,000 on it. I just put Monroe Reflex shocks, Timken unit bearings in front, front brake pads and rotors, blower resistor, cabin filters, and some more I will remember later on it before it went into storage a year ago. Just drove it home about 200 miles today (8-4) Has two new Hankook front tires, and a set of new General rears that I bought mounted on new rims from on here... I rebuilt the transfer case after the pump popped out about 3 years ago. When it was open, it got the Kennedy Performance pump plate. I put a steering gear from an H2 on it for the quicker ratio, and a starter, water pump, thermostat, and full coolant flush about two years ago. New windshield tonight. I bought rear brake pads and a full stainless brake line set from Inline Tube ($$$) that will be included. I also think I have a new plug wire set and plugs for it too. No trades at this time. I will clean it for sale asap. I am switching jobs and have been busy as hell the past few weeks. I just have had no time. As soon as I clean it I will get more pics on here. Any interest, please pm me as I don't get on here every day. $6250.00 (2.4k under fair kbb dreamland pricing) Thanks! Last edited by kargod; August 20th, 2013 at 08:19 PM. Reason: updated |

What kind of mileage you getting out of that 6 hauling a load? I have a 1500 HD with the 6.0 that has the 3.73 axle, guessing the dually has the 4.10 or the 4.56. Curious if its any better.

Ginsu 14 Piece Review
The Ginsu International Traditions 14- piece stainless steel knife set comes with six serrated kitchen knives, six serrated steak knives, kitchen shears, and a natural hardwood storage block. The b lades are commercial-quality Japanese 420J2 stainless steel that extend, full-tang, into triple-riveted Bakelite handles. Users tout these Ginsu knives for their sharpness and precision performance on the cutting board.
Knives are only as good as the steel they're made with, and for under $35, knife sets reviewers say you won't find better quality steel than the commercial-grade Japanese 420J2 steel in the Ginsu International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set (starting at $32, Amazon). More than 130 frugal cooks give this extra-sharp set five stars in Ginsu International Traditions reviews on Amazon for its precise cutting, durability, weight, look, and feel.
Ginsu International Traditions reviews on Bestcovery are equally enthusiastic, awarding this cutlery set best in class. The Ginsu 14-piece set receives an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 in cutlery sets reviews on Buzzillions, where more than a few reviewers comment on the outstanding sturdiness of these knives. One user even gives these knives points for cutting right through bone, and another user praises the strength of the kitchen shears that come with the set.
Where to buy
The Ginsu International Traditions set includes a 3.5" paring knife, 5" utility knife, 5.5" boning knife, 7" Santoku knife (sort of like a small, narrow cleaver), 8" chef's knife, 8" slicer, six 4.5" steak knives, and a pair of kitchen shears. The blades on these knives are full-tang (e.g., the metal extends into the handle, which adds strength and durability) and stamped. They are also serrated, and unlike other sets with serrated edges, the Ginsu International Traditions knives generally garner rave reviews for their ability to cut through everything from vegetables to steak with ease.
With minimal complaints and mostly glowing reviews, you'll definitely get plenty of bang for your buck with this set. Bottom line: The Ginsu International Traditions knives are the closest you'll get to professional quality for a budget price.

Pebble talk about stopping those spammy mails getting through and clogging up your inbox
You may have heard the term CAPTCHA bounced around the Internet or amongst friends and colleagues and perhaps wondered what this could do for you?
Well, this 2 minute blog post will tell you everything you need to know.
CAPTCHA is an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It is a visual confirmation used in website submission forms to ensure the submission of an entry is not automatically done by a computer/bot that has found your website.
Basically, CAPTCHA is an image with a text shown on it, the user must type the same characters as the ones on the image to verify s/he is human, these days they also feature unusual looking pictures and you may be asked to click on all the images that have a picture of a tree in it, or maybe a picture of a pizza etc.
By having a CAPTCHA on your submission page you are just adding that additional layer of security to your form so automated systems cannot spam you via your form.
If you haven't got CAPTCHA installed on your submission or contact form speak to Pebble today on 01733 902070 or via our contact form (where we have a CAPTCHA).

Paget Brewster (born March 10, 1969 in Concord, Massachusetts) is an actress who appeared in the short-lived comedy series Andy Richter Controls The Universe and as Beth Huffstodt in the Showtime original series Huff, which aired from 2004-2006. She also played Amy Pierson, a calculus teacher afraid of the water in the independent film "The Big Bad Swim" that premiered at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. She has now joined the cast of the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds.
Brewster first came to prominent attention in her recurring role as Kathy, Chandler's girlfriend in the fourth season of Friends.
She has a reputation as a "show killer" because many shows on which she has been a regular cast member have been cancelled early in their run.
Brewster had a short-lived Bay Area talk show and was a bartender at the late Andy Boy's Drunk Tank in San Francisco.
In film, Brewster's most notable role is Ms. Indestructible, the female lead in James Gunn's low-budget superhero comedy The Specials (2000), opposite Thomas Haden Church and Rob Lowe.
In 2005, Brewster began voice work as a recurring character on the animated series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law as Judy Sebben/Birdgirl.
On the March 30, 2006 episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Brewster revealed that she had recently received a handwritten note indicating Hugh Hefner would like her to pose for Playboy. She seriously considered the offer but eventually turned it down for career reasons, even though her parents gave her their blessing and she said that she admired Playboy more than magazines such as Maxim and FHM. She has, however, photographed spreads of other models for the website Suicide Girls.
Brewster has volunteered as an actress with the Young Storytellers Program.

I think my pick right now would be from the powerhouse that is DeSoto (Texas) High. It is not easy to get on the field there period, but running back KaDarrian Nixon had his chances to shine of the field as a freshman and took advantage of it. He is a true speed burner in the mold of a Dontre Wilson, a player who was able to put up monster numbers in the Eagles offense. Look for Nixon to be used in the same way. He already had some break out moments as a freshman. Returning a kick for a touchdown in the Coppell playoff match-up and making the local news when he took a screen pass to the house against Mansfield (Texas) Timberview after busting off a move on Stanford signee and Scout four-star Brandon Simmons. Big things are ahead for this kid and look for him to be featured even more this upcoming season.

Had to think long and hard on this one as many programs don't have freshman on the roster, and even more so on the field. But there is one who comes to mind and was mentioned to us by the Alief (Texas) Taylor coaching staff. And that is versatile lineman Kobie Whiteside. If you have not had the chance to check out the HUDL video on this kid, spot yourself about 45 seconds. He stands about 6-foot-1 and weighs 300 pounds, but he is quick and light on his feet. On offense, he has not problem getting to the second level when he pulls and he is a great finisher. The bold statement was made saying that this young man will be the most "highly regarded" recruit to come through Taylor. That statement came from an alumnus who racked up over 4o offers. Whiteside is for sure someone to keep an eye. We sure will.

Midlands Recruiting Analyst, ETx/DFW
A few 2017 prospects have started to pop up in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex during the past couple of months. The most obvious pick is 20-offer linebacker and early Mississippi State commit Anthony Hines of Plano East, but another to keep an eye on is Frisco Lone Star quarterback Jason Shelley, who already has a Clemson offer.. At 5-foot-11, 160 pounds, Shelley will obviously have to grow some more, but he already has a head start on proving himself as a producer on the field. As a freshman, Shelley threw for 1,346 yards, 12 touchdowns, and only four interceptions, while rushing for 821 yards and seven touchdowns as Lone Star went 8-5 and played three rounds deep into the postseason. Shelley competed at this past Sunday's Dallas Elite 11 regional competition and displayed very quick feet in his drops and a natural gait as a rollout passer. His athleticism and playmaking ability may lead some teams to recruit him as an athlete. Regardless, he should be a high-major prospect as his high school career continues. Denton Guyer 2017 quarterback Shawn Robinson and Keller defensive end Spencer Misko are a couple more 2017 DFW prospects to keep in mind.
Derek Young
Midlands Recruiting Analyst, Upper Midlands
The 2017 prospect standing out in the Upper Midlands is Kansas City (Mo.) Winnetonka defensive back Djimon Colbert. He plays a lot of cornerback right now but could grow into a safety. He already stands at 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds and is very strong in run support already at this early stage. Colbert is a physical player and is at his best in the open field making plays. His man coverage is more than adequate but he can make more of an impact on defense when in zone, reading and reacting. His physical maturity is well beyond his years, as you would expect he's a high school junior or senior from his film, and not a freshman. He's only going to get bigger and faster, and is definitely a prospect that could hit the national scene.
Annabel Stephan
Midlands Recruiting Analyst, Cen-Tex
There haven't been any breakout 2017 players in Central Texas quite yet, but one to watch who is close enough is Stephenville (Texas) High running back Kaegun Williams, who played on Varsity as a freshman. It wasn't minimal playing time, either; Williams racked up 1,561 yards and 17 touchdowns on 169 carries last fall. In addition, Williams had three receiving touchdowns with 24 receptions for 456 yards. Keep in mind that the Stephenville offense is commanded by Texas Tech quarterback commit Jarrett Stidham, which makes Williams' accolades that much more impressive. Williams picked up District 7-3A Newcomer of the Year awards and could be a very interesting prospect in seasons to come. He currently measures in at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds.

Radiant Floor Heating Basics
Radiant floor heating is a wonderfully efficient heat distribution system that takes advantage of the whole floor to heat the home, as opposed to forced air coming out of one small vent and trying to heat a huge space.
How does radiant floor heating work?
This innovation in home heating provides warmth for a house from underneath the floors. It's an effective method of heating that works in an unusual way – hydronics or water going through a PEX tubing in the floor. The water in the tubing radiates the heat into the structure. It's an efficient and cost-effective way to heat a house.
Running hot water beneath the floor – or hydronics – is becoming more popular in residential homes thanks to a flexible plastic tubing called "PEX" – a polyurethane, durable tubing that has a lifespan of more than 100 years. It serpentines underneath the floor and uses the whole floor as a heat-distribution system.
Comfort and efficiency are two reasons why new homeowners like radiant floor systems. Comfort, in fact, is the No. 1 advantage with its warm-feet, cool-head environment. And because the whole floor is used, it's an extremely efficient system. The aesthetic quality is another reason some homeowners love this system. The heating system remains hidden beneath the floor; there are no vents or radiators in sight. This can be a huge advantage when it comes to interior design.
Three Types of Radiant Floors
There are three radiant flooring systems that can be applied to a home:
- Radiant Air Floors – Don't hold large amount of heat, and for this reason they are used mainly in commercial buildings.
- Electric Radiant Floors – Do a great job at heating any kind of home, but they're extremely expensive.
- Hydronic or Liquid Floors – These cost less and are, therefore, used more often in residential construction.
Radiant floor heating is a distribution center for the home by taking advantage of the floor and putting tubing throughout the whole floor, mild temperatures of water and concrete application. Beautiful tile, marble and slate floors are being utilized in homes, but they're ice cold. With radiant floor heating, it's possible to have a beautiful floor and barefoot comfort.
Using a hydronic floor system is a great way to heat a home, but it also can be used on a smaller scale, such as in a basement.
Note: Since a radiant floor system is different from a traditional centralized heating system, your builder will need to hire specialized contractors with experience in this area.
Installing a Radiant Floor System
There are two categories of installation for radiant floor heating – wet and dry. Wet installation is most commonly used in the ground floor.
Here are the five steps to the wet installation on a ground level:
1. Excavate the area to be heated. This will be the sub-base.
2. Add a layer of insulation to create a base over which the rest of the floor system will lay.
3. Add rebar to the space. This will add strength to the floor system.
4. Add plastic tubing, tying it to the rebar for support.
5. Use concrete to create a slab foundation for the floor.
When installing a radiant floor system on the upper floors of a home, the most common method is called "dry installation," which is a system that suspends the tubing underneath the subfloor, between the joists.

Casolaro's Octopus by Kenn Thomas (firstname.lastname@example.com) - June. 07, 2001
Editor's Note: Kenn Thomas publishes Steamshovel Press, the conspiracy theory magazine. Four issue subscription: $23; single issue: $6, from POB 23715, St. Louis, MO 63121. The Octopus: The Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro (Feral House, 1995), written with the late Jim Keith, is also available. A revised and updated edition is scheduled for 2002 publication.
Because circumstances have shrouded Danny Casolaro's death in mystery, the single aspect of his research that led to it may never be known for certain. Hotel workers in Martinsburg, West Virginia found the writer dead in August 1991 in what looked like a faked suicide.
The "head's up" warning flashed among students of the conspiracy culture when they learned that files he had on him were missing and the details of his investigative work slowly emerged from friends, family and fellow investigators. Casolaro previously had previously had warned these same people not to believe any reports that might have fallen victim to an "accident." The fishy circumstances of his death and the probable motivations of his possible killers remain obvious.
Danny Casolaro sought to document and expose sea of covert operatives, super-surveillance software and transnational spies. He called the monster he saw swimming in that sea "the Octopus." It consisted of a group of US intelligence veterans that had banded together to manipulate world events for the sake of consolidating and extending its power.
Of course it involved the Kennedy assassination, but that was just one of many coups and assassinations pulled off by the Octopus since the end of World War II. The group had come together over a covert operation to invade Albania that was betrayed by famed British turncoat Kim Philby. The Octopus had overthrown Jacob Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954. It had targeted operations against Fidel Castro culminating in the Bay of Pigs. It also had tentacles in the political upheavals in Angola, Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Chile, Iran and Iraq.
Casolaro had as his main concern Octopus involvement with putting Ronald Reagan in power--the infamous October Surprise--and the role that played in introducing the PROMIS software into police systems around the world.
Casolaro's catalogue of membership in the Octopus included such notorious spooks as John Singlaub and the late CIA director William Colby. As heads of the Phoenix assassination program in Vietnam they had implemented an early version of the PROMIS tracking software to keep tabs on the Viet Cong. Other Octopus tentacles included characters like E. Howard Hunt and Bernard Baker, who later emerged as Watergate burglars.
Casolaro focused on one person in the periphery of the Octopus as it had developed in the early 1980s, a man named Earl Brian, crony to Reagan's attorney general Ed Meese. Brian had been given PROMIS to sell illegally as a reward for paying off Ayatollah Khomeini to hold on to American hostages until the Carter presidential re-election campaign clearly was doomed. According to Casolaro, Meese used the US Justice department to steal PROMIS from its developers, the Inslaw group, which had its connections to the Phoenix program and also had developed the software at least in part on public money. Two congressional committees eventually agreed, however, that Inslaw was the legal private owner of PROMIS when the US Justice department shanghaied it and Earl Brian profiteered by selling it to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Interpol, the Mossad and other international police agencies as well as to the military. One application of the modified PROMIS included the ability to track Soviet submarines in previously untraceable marine trenches near Iceland.
If coded correctly, PROMIS could interface with other databases without reprogramming, giving ability to ostensibly track criminals-but also, potentially, political dissidents--through the computer systems of various police agencies. Casolaro's informant, Michael Riconosciuto added to this the claim that he had personally reprogrammed PROMIS with a backdoor, so it could spy on the methods of the police agencies that were using it for tracking. This gave it added appeal as a covert tool. The US could spy on the very agencies it was selling the software to illegally.
Earl Brian's role in the PROMIS theft was spelled out explicitly by Inslaw lawyer Elliot Richardson, another Watergate figure in The New York Times in 1992. Richardson was the attorney general who actually stood up to Richard Nixon's corruption during the Saturday Night massacre. Brian sued over the New York Times article and lost. Richardson had written the article to encourage investigation of the case, but Brian used the opportunity to start a nuisance libel suit. On November 29, 1995, the New York Court of Appeals dismissed Brian's claim and declared that Richardson's assertions came under free speech protections.
Although never prosecuted over the PROMIS allegations, Brian survived only one more year after the libel suit before other past shady deals began to catch up with him. In October 1996 a California jury convicted him of Federal bank fraud, conspiracy and lying to auditors. Prosecutors charged that Brian had drafted documents to conceal losses of the Financial News Network and United Press International, for whom he served as chief executive, in order to obtain $70 million in bank loans for his other concern, a biotyechnology firm called Infotechnology.
Interestingly, the pattern of financial impropriety in the case was identical to one that happened on assassination day, November 22, 1963. Someone named Tony DeAngelis misrepresented his holdings of thousands of tons of salad oil with faked American Express warehouse receipts in order to get bank loans. The fraud's exposure was the top news story in the New York Times editions that came out before the assassination on that date. Many people profiteered from the short-selling spree on the markets consequent to that and news of JFK's murder, including American Express magnate Warren Buffet and a transnational entity called Bunge Corporation, known in the financial literature of the time. as The Octopus. In a classic work on the JFK assassination, Were We Controlled?, pseudonymous author Lincoln Lawrence argues that DeAngelis, Jack Ruby, and Lee Harvey Oswald were all mind-controlled in their actions on that day. I produced an edition of this book, with an expanded introduction and photographs, as the book NASA, Nazis & JFK: The Torbitt Document and the JFK Assassination (Kempton, IL: Adventures Unlimited Press, 1997). Add to that the fact that Earl Brian at one time a brain surgeon, and the other Watergate-Inslaw connection, E. Howard Hunt, had a phone relationship with Casolaro, has also been connect to mind control operations, and the Casolaro story takes some extremely interesting speculative turns.
Wackenhut provides security services to the notorious secret airbase Area 51. After Danny Casolaro turned up dead and his current research file missing, other notes found at his apartment later clearly indicates his interest in the famed Nevada super-spook facility. The history of the base, of course, is now well-known: it had been around since before it was used to develop the U2 spy plane in the late 1950s and early 1960s, later the SR71 Blackbird and later still, the mysterious Aurora super-plane. As Casolaro made his notes about it, however, it had not yet become the subject of popular lore that it is today. Nevertheless, Casolaro devoted pages of notes to Area 51.
One theory had it that Casolaro's death had less do with the Octopus than it did with manufacturing fraud at Hughes Aircraft, a company that has a long history of exclusive and secret deals with the US government for aerospace technologies, many almost certainly involving Area 51. Casolaro had brushed up against this corruption in his pursuit of his Octopus spook group. A contact he made the day before he died, Bill Turner, gave him documentation of the fraud at Hughes. Turner noted that Casolaro added these papers to the ever-present accordion file of current research. After they found Casolaro's body, Turner got himself arrested on a bank robbery charge in order to remove himself from any further involvement.
The joint venture between the Cabazon Indian tribe and Area 51's Wackenhut did exist, at least between 1981 and 1983, and Michael Riconosciuto certainly was involved with it at least in some capacity. A report from a task force of the sheriff's office of Riverside County, California placed Riconosciuto at a weapons demonstration with Earl Brian ("of the CIA") put on by the Cabazons and Wackenhut.
Riconosciuto also claimed that he had a tape documenting threats made against him by another Justice Department official, but he had thrown it in a marsh near Puget Sound the night he was arrested on trumped up methamphetamine charges. Casolaro spent many days searching the Puget Sound bog to no avail, looking for the tape that ostensibly could verify the claims of "Danger Man," Casolaro's nickname for Riconosciuto.
The Puget Sound location was significant because of its proximity to a famous early UFO event, the 1947 Maury Island incident. That event--six flying saucers seen by harbor seamen that left behind slag debris-had been witnessed, or hoaxed, by the business partner of Riconosciuto's father, a man named Fred Lee Crisman. In the 1960s, Crisman was subpoenaed by New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison as part of his investigation of the Kennedy assassination. Some researchers claimed that Crisman was one of the "railyard tramps" arrested near Dealy Plaza on November 22, 1963; others note that he possibly gave refuge on his Oregon ranch to a member of the Minutemen, an early militia group investigated by the Warren Commission.
Little suggests that Casolaro knew of the Crisman connection, or of the significance it might hold for what he already knew about Area 51 and the other secret airbase that held his attention, Australia's Pine Gap.
Pine Gap is the top secret American underground base located near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of the land down under, officially known as the Joint Defense Space Research Facility. It was built in 1968 officially to share program data with the Australians.
Renowned intelligence defector Victor Marchetti, who served in the CIA director's office from 1966 to 1969, now acknowledges that he co-authored the secret agreement between the agency and the Australian Department of Defense on the establishment of the Pine Gap station. Officially, it monitors spy satellites and intercepts and decodes broadcast communications between foreign powers unfriendly to the US. One of Pine Gap's important functions is to monitor geostationary satellites for wide ranging information on enemy telemetry, radar emissions and telecommunications.
Opposition from the Australians to the base grew as its nature as an espionage facility outside of Australian control became clear. In his book Crimes of Patriots (New York: W.W. Norton & Co, 1987), author Jonathan Kwitny demonstrates that covert manipulation led to the early end (in Australia of the administration of Labor Party prime minister Gough Whitlam because of his opposition to Pine Gap. Casolaro noted with aggravation Kwitny's inability to see the tentacles of the Octopus in the affair. "It didn't take many people to design the apparatus that would insure the renewal of the lease for the Pine Gap installation near Alice Springs, Australia," Casolaro wrote.
"After all, how could a democracy spit up a Prime Minister that could sack the security of the Western Alliance?"
Indeed, Whitlam was rousted after his public complaints about intelligence agency deceptions over the tragic US policy in East Timor, and the CIA's funding of Australia's right-wing Country Party [AKA National Party], as well as his opposition to Pine Gap. Whitlam was not driven from office by an election, but was removed [this event is known as "The Dismissal"], on a technicality--just as George Bush, Jr. "won" the 2000 election in the US on a court-imposed technicality--by a governor-general he had appointed, one who had strong ties to the CIA [and represented the British Commonwealth].
No doubt the paranoia about this destabilization of the Australian government by the US fueled rumors about the underground Pine Gap base involving alien/government collaborations, rumors that Danny Casolaro knew about that were very similar to what he was hearing about Area 51. Certainly the base's potential for surveillance also triggered his interest as well. PROMIS had been used in tracking Soviet submarines; might it also be used to track Soviet satellites? One report told of a Moscow summit conference in 1972 during which an early Pine Gap satellite picked up limousine radio-telephone conversations between Soviet missile designers, Andrei Gromyko and Leonid Brezhnev that revealed a missile secretly being kept from SALT negotiations.
Back on the Area 51 front, Casolaro was hearing rumors that Michael Riconosciuto had worked for Lear Aircraft in Reno, Nevada. This connected him to Bill Lear, creator of the Lear jet, who is often claimed by UFO buffs as having done research on anti-gravity for the government as well as John Lear, a former CIA pilot who also hit the UFO circuit with tales of saucers and aliens in cahoots with the US government. It is now becoming distant history, but back in 1989, a man named Bob Lazar went public with his claims that he had back-engineered alien spacecraft at Area 51. Lear and Lazar lectured widely on the UFO circuit in the late 1980s and early 1990s, along with other UFO lecture celebrities like Bill English and William Cooper. Cooper's classic, Behold A Pale Horse (Flagstaff AZ: Light Technology Publications, 1991), shared the title of the first draft proposal of Casolaro's manuscript that eventually became The Octopus.
After Casolaro's death, Michael Riconosciuto made claims that Casolaro had learned nothing more than what one of two intelligence factions wanted him to know in order to embarrass the other faction. One faction was called Aquarius and had a leadership sub-group called MJ-12, the name, of course, of the supposed secret group founded by Harry Truman in the wake of the Roswell flying saucer crash. Riconosciuto even told one writer that he had witnessed the autopsy of an alien body. This was long before the famous [Ray Santilli] alien autopsy film began to circulate. Some have suggested that the tales of extraterrestrials that surround areas like Area 51 and Pine Gap serve as disinformation to deflect attention away from serious issues such as gun-running and black project weapons development. Casolaro's own view, and the extent of his knowledge and interest in this tributary from the Octopus research, and whatever he learned that might have brought the truth closer to the surface of the murky waters in which he swam, may have died with him.

Wednesday, November 10, 2010
And this is a special occasion that warrants a really special treat. After all, this is the time of festival of lights Diwali, my favourite festival. But more importantly, this is my 150th post and in a neat coincidence, it is also the month my blog turns 2!
And as far as special treats go, there can be nothing more exotic or exquisite than baklava.
Believed to be of Turkish origin, baklava is an extremely popular sweet in Greece, Turkey and the Middle East. Layers of phyllo pastry stuffed with nuts and sweetened with some sugar syrup, baklava is one of my favourite sweets and was something that I had been craving for a long time now.
The recipes sounded easy enough but one thing held me back - the fear of working with phyllo dough.
As it turned out, my fears were completely misplaced. Phyllo dough is not quite the villain I had thought it was. In fact, I found it surprisingly easy to work with, making me wonder why I had been putting off making baklava for so long!
Don't let the long recipe put you off - making baklava is very, very easy. All that it needs is some pre-preparation and a single minded devotion to the task at hand.
Phyllo dough: 24 sheets
Assorted nuts: 1.5 cups (I used pistachios, pecan nuts, hazelnuts and almonds)
Sugar: 1/4 cup
Cardamom powder: 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon powder: 1/2 tsp
Melted ghee (or butter): 1/3 cup
for the syrup:
Sugar: 3/4 cup
Honey: 1/4 cup
Water: 1 cup
Cinnamon stick: 2"long
Cardamom pods: 10 nos, slightly bruised
Lemon juice: 1.5 tbsp
Rose water: 2.5 tbsps
The one essential thing while making the baklava is to have all your pre-preparation completed in all respects before starting the assembly.
So, first thaw the phyllo dough as per the package instructions. Hastily and inadequately thawed sheets tend to stick to each other and tear. Once thawed, cover the sheets with a moist cheesecloth till you are ready to proceed with the assembly.
Next up, make the sugar syrup. In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients required for making the syrup and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a further 10 - 15 mins or until thick and well....syrupy. Cool completely.
While the sugar syrup simmers, process the nuts in the mixie to get a coarse powder. (If using a mix of nuts, process them separately). Toss the nuts with sugar, the cinnamon and cardamom powders. Set aside.
Melt the ghee/butter.
Brush the sides and bottom of your baking dish with the melted ghee.
Finally, cut the thawed phyllo sheets to fit your baking tray. With a sharp knife, you can cut all sheets in one go. I cut my sheets to fit a 8"x10" pan.
Now you are ready to assemble the baklava:
Place a sheet of the phyllo dough into the baking dish and brush it with some melted ghee. Repeat 7 times, making sure you brush the top of each sheet with melted ghee before placing
another sheet on top.
Spread 1/2 cup of the nut mixture on top.
Then place 4 sheets of phyllo dough on top of the nut mixture, brushing each sheet with the melted ghee.
Again spread 1/2 cup of the nut mixture.
Repeat with 4 sheets of phyllo dough and 1/2 cup of nuts once again.
Finally, place 8 sheets of phyllo dough on top of the nuts.
So, once assembled, the baklava will have:
8 sheets of phyllo at the bottom
1/2 cup of nuts
4 sheets of phyllo
1/2 cup of nuts
4 sheets of phyllo
1/2 cup of nuts
8 sheets of phyllo
Cut into squares or diamonds, making sure that you cut all the way through to the last sheet of the phyllo dough.
Bake at 180 degC or 350 degF for about 30 - 35 mins or until the top is evenly browned and crisp.
Pour the cooled sugar syrup over the baklava as soon as you take it out of the oven. Allow the baklava to soak the syrup for a minimum of 6-8 hours and preferably overnight; in fact it tastes the best when left undisturbed for 24 hours - that is if it lasts that long.
Utterly decadent, baklava is a sinful treat that is absolutely irrestible. Take it from someone who is very careful about what she eats, the baklava is so very addictive that you will find it difficult to stop at just one. This recipe yielded 20 pieces but at the rate at which they were disappearing, I actually had to hide a couple of pieces for taking pictures - the rest were gone that very day!
So go ahead and indulge!

Congratulations on your 150th Post. The Baklava looks so delicious. I too hadn't realised how easy it could be to make. We get phylo (it's sold as filo pastry here in UK) so I will bookmark it to try soon.
Please share your mithai recipes at the event I am running at:
It's for a good cause.Aqua,
wow! We love baklava and I had saved in my drafts also..will publish it later..and you know like you I too dreaded Pyhllo sheets, but it's just not that bad either..we love almond baklava, pistachio baklava, walnut baklava, you get the picture here ..no wonder why I am putting on so much weight :-)..
Congratulation on completing two years of blogging and 150th post ..hugs and smiles
It is not just about the ingredients or the recipe, good food happens when it is served with love!!

US-APWR Pre-Application Review
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has a policy of encouraging early discussions (prior to submission of a license application) with potential applicants (such as utilities and reactor designers) to offer licensing guidance and to identify and resolve potential licensing issues early in the licensing process. Consistent with that policy, from July 2006 through September 2007, the NRC staff and representatives of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) engaged in a variety of pre-application review activities associated with possible certification of a standard design for the U.S. Advanced Pressurized-Water Reactor (US-APWR). For detail, see the following topics on this page:

Pre-Application Public Meetings
During the pre-application period for a design certification, the NRC holds public meetings with potential applicants to discuss advanced reactor designs to identify (1) major safety issues that could require Commission policy guidance to the staff, (2) major technical issues that the staff could resolve under existing regulations or NRC policy, and (3) the research needed to resolve identified issues. For more specific information about public meetings related to the US-APWR pre-application review activities, see the following pages:

Volvo S60 Polestar
The new Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar are here, set for sale on four continents around the world in 2014. The countries set for the S60 and V60 Polestar include Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the USA, with further markets and final production numbers to be revealed next year.
"We are proud to present the S60 and V60 Polestar. A car developed for those who share our passion at Polestar: That driving really matters and that a true driver's car should enable you to enjoy driving all year, on all roads and in all weather conditions. This is a driver's car for real life," said Christian Dahl, CEO of Polestar.
The new Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar are here: world debut for a new Volvo V60 engineered by Polestar
"With the introduction of the V60 model, we are proud to continue the heritage of fast Volvo estates like the racing 850 BTCC, a tradition deeply rooted among Volvo enthusiasts," continued Christian Dahl, CEO of Polestar.
"Our motorsport co-operation with Polestar has been going on for almost two decades and it is rewarding to see how Polestar can use their experiences from motorsport to engineer such an exciting and competent car," said Derek Crabb, Motorsport Director at Volvo Car Group (Volvo Cars).
"It is very satisfying to see how Polestar have been able to combine this level of driving performance in their interpretation of the S60 and V60 with maintained original service program, class leading safety features and certified fuel- and emission ratings. Customers buying this car will get the best from both Polestar and Volvo," said Alain Visser, Senior Vice President Marketing, Sales & Customer Service at Volvo Cars.
The car is based on the latest generation Volvo S/V60 and marks the start of an extended Polestar production model range. Development of the car has been ongoing over the past years, picking up from the C30 and S60 Concept cars and the Australian S60 Polestar.
Thousands of development kilometers have been driven on twisty mountain roads, on the Autobahn and test tracks from the south of Europe to the frozen north of Sweden.
"We have continued our work to create a true driver's car which is not limited only to a few specific driving conditions, but enjoyable on everything from your favourite winding roads to taking the family for a long journey, no matter summer or winter. And in my view, we have gotten very close to our goals, something that of course is best experienced first-hand behind the wheel," said Robert Dahlgren, Polestar racing and test driver.
The new Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar are here: world debut for a new Volvo V60 engineered by Polestar
Polestar performance engineering
Upgrades include modifications made to increase rigidity of the chassis to cater for the 80% stiffer springs relative to the standard S60 R-Design. These changes combined with the tailored high performance Öhlins shock absorbers and 20" Polestar wheels results in a precise, yet comfortable, driving experience.
The brake system has undergone substantial modifications. Most visible are the 371 millimeter ventilated front discs and six-piston Brembo calipers, guaranteeing a high level of braking performance.
To reflect the increased performance of the S/V60 Polestar, positive aerodynamic effects have been achieved through subtle, yet efficient, modifications based on data from tests in the Volvo Cars wind tunnel. The changes are visible with the front splitters, optimizing the airflow underneath the car, as well as a new rear spoiler and diffusor, increasing downforce.
The six-cylinder turbo-charged T6 engine has undergone extensive development with a new twin-scroll turbo and intercooler to produce 350 HP/257 kW at 5700 rpm and 500 Nm/369 lb-ft already at 2800 rpm. The engine breathes through a 2.5" stainless steel exhaust system, making for a throaty engine note.
The six-speed automatic gearbox features a new paddle shift system that together with the Polestar developed Haldex four-wheel drive system takes the car from 0-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds and to a limited top speed of 250 km/h. The gearbox as well as the four-wheel drive system and traction control system has been recalibrated in order to provide an active driving experience and maximum grip in all situations.
The interior has been reworked with new details, materials and Polestar colors, such as the steering wheel, seats and more, with the sole purpose of increasing driver support and control.
"All in all we have taken a major step forward in all areas, from chassis and engine to interior and exterior details. Development work has been focused on the overall package in order to create a car that you want to use every day, both from a practical and emotional perspective," said Henrik Fries, S/V60 Polestar Technical Project Manager.
Polestar will begin delivery of the new S60 and V60 Polestar in June 2014 to the local markets.
"We are all very excited and proud over our launch of two new cars as yet another step towards a range of Polestar Engineered Volvo cars available for people like us around the world. To do it together with Volvo, one of the world's leading car manufacturers, is greatly satisfying and we look forward to an exciting future," said Christian Dahl, CEO of Polestar.

Nikki Beach Bali
Luxury Lifestyle Beach Club in Nusa Dua
0Nikki Beach Bali, the world famous beach club brand, graces the tranquil eastern coastline of Nusa Dua and is surely the area's trendiest beach club to date. The hip venue, and the luxury brand's 12th permanent beach club and restaurant location in the world, is set right on the beachfront of the Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Resort. The venue features Nikki Beach's trademark clean white and ultramodern design, with a touch of Balinese with its candi bentar gate that opens to its freeform pool.
Nikki Beach Bali is a multifaceted beach club, presenting a combination of dining, music, fashion, film and art in one stunning coastal location. The serene ocean panoramas of Nusa Dua and the distant Nusa Penida Island on the horizon provide it with the picture-perfect backdrop

The long-established and internationally recognised Nikki Beach brand broke ground with its first club in Miami in 1998 and has expanded ever since with clubs opening in magical locations all around the globe. Bali's own opens in October 2014 fresh from the launch of Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Porto Heli in Greece in August the same year.
Modelled after the same stylish and contemporary look and feel of all of the brand's locations, renowned architectural design firm WATG implemented Nikki Beach founder Jack Penrod's design visions with the architectural design of Nikki Beach Bali.
Past Sofitel's tropical gardens and gorgeous centrepiece pools, stepping into Nikki Beach Bali is to enter a whole new realm. Inside you will find a refreshingly all-white signature theme; plush sun beds around its freeform pool and a swim-up bar where you can spend your days and evenings indulging in refreshing cocktails, endless champagne and an extensive menu of delectable dishes. The selection of bites you'll find here are representative of all the current Nikki Beach locations around the world, from Nikki Beach's lavish sushi boats, king crab legs and burratinas, plus popular Balinese items added in.

| "Note that the Recycle Bin icon won't work this way." of course, the one icon that would be easy to identify Back in the old days, there were a lot of places an application could hook itself to run at startup. You had to check the registry in more than one place, as well as your start menu. With Windows Vista, there's a built-in panel that handles all that for you. To quickly get to this panel, you can open Control Panel, and then type "startup" into the search box. The link for "Stop a program from running at startup" shows up immediately. You could have also opened Windows Defender and fooled around with the menus until you find the right spot, but this seems quicker to me. Now you can see the Windows Defender screen that lets you manage the startup programs. You can choose to Remove or just Disable any startup item using this panel, as well as lots of other useful information so that you can see what each item is. Spybot S&D does that for me too "Windows Vista Disk Cleanup wizard is really not all that bad, but I did find a small problem with it… It doesn't fully empty your temp folder. It only allows you to delete temporary files that haven't been modified in a week. If you've recently done a lot of editing or something that generates large temporary files, you may want to manually clean up. Just type in %TEMP% into the start menu search box, and hit enter. You'll immediate be taken to the temporary files folder, where you can delete whatever you feel like." Crap Cleaner, nuff said Last edited by Rutar : 28th February 2007 at 11:10. |

| Not any different than putting %TEMP% into your RUN box under XP either. "The Windows Vista BootScreen is pointless, but Microsoft decided to hide a more visually appealing boot screen that can easily be enabled with very little trouble. I'm not sure why they didn't make the boot screen better." Um, because MS stated it was proven to boot significantly faster without it? "But don't worry, System Restore won't remove Windows Vista." |

Press Releases |
Data |
Benchmark Revisions - September 2007 |
Press Release Archive
Released: Wednesday, June 22, 2005
The Conference Board announced today that the leading index for Spain increased 0.8 percent and the coincident index increased 0.3 percent in April.
- The leading index increased sharply in April following a small decline in March and no change in February, and the strength among the leading indicators has become somewhat more widespread. With April's gain, the leading index continues to increase at a 2.0 to 3.0 percent annual rate, an improvement from the second half of 2004, but still well below the 4.0 to 5.0 percent growth from early 2003 to early 2004.
- The coincident index continued to increase in April, keeping it on a steadily rising trend. At the same time, real GDP growth has been fluctuating in the 2.5 to 3.5 percent range for the last two years, including 3.5 percent growth in the first quarter of 2005. The behavior of the leading index in recent months suggests that this moderate rate of economic growth is likely to continue in the near term.
Leading Indicators: Four of the six components that make up the leading index increased in April. The positive contributors—in order from the largest positive contributor to the smallest—are the order books survey, job placings, the capital equipment component of industrial production, and the inverted long-term government bond yield. The Spanish contribution to Euro M2 and the Spanish equity price index declined in April.
With the increase of 0.8 percent in April, the leading index now stands at 138.5 (1990=100). Based on revised data, this index declined 0.3 percent in March and was unchanged in February. During the six-month span through April, the index increased 1.5 percent, and five of the six components advanced (diffusion index, six-month span equals 83.3 percent).
Coincedent Indicators: All four components that make up the coincident index increased in April. The positive contributors —in order from the largest positive contributor to the smallest—are final household consumption*, the retail sales survey, real imports*, and industrial production excluding construction.
With the increase of 0.3 percent in April, the coincident index now stands at 148.9 (1990=100). Based on revised data, this index increased 0.3 percent in March and increased 0.2 percent in February. During the six-month span through April, the index increased 2.0 percent, and all four components advanced (diffusion index, six-month span equals 100.0 percent).

What would you think if you could buy one gift in December, and automatically double your investment? Read below to hear how you can get up to three products for free this holiday season (while still giving back to kids in need).
Hooray For The Holidays: Get More While Giving Back
How It Works:
* If you buy anything in the Makeover Momma shop in December, you'll get a FREE product in return (up to a max of 3 per shopper!)
* It doesn't matter the price of the item you buy… if you buy 1, you can personally pick another product for FREE (all the way up to 3 FREE items!)
That means if you buy any 1, 2 0r 3 products you want during the month of December, you can double your investment by personally earning 1, 2 or 3 full sized products without cost. And since you have the freedom to pick out which free products you want (just check the list below), you don't have to worry about random items you don't need! After your purchase, let me know which products you want (email firstname.lastname@example.com or comment here).
I'll be counting down the remaining products each day during December, so act fast! (Honestly, where else can you double your investment like this?) Keep an eye out on Makeover Momma.com too (and the @makeovermomma and Facebook page), because I'll be posting about these amazing brands individually (so you can see why they're so fabulous).
Better yet, for every shopper who buys 3 products (and chooses an equal amount for free), I'll donate 1/3 of my earnings to charity. Personally, I decided to choose The Fresh Air Fund because it helps inner city children with the opportunities to experience what we so often take for granted (fresh air, fun outdoors and carefree moments as a kid). They provide everything from Fresh Air camps, to visits with a volunteer host family in the country…. all of which provide pretty good reason to get shopping and give back, right?
