Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium 1 1/2" Straightening Iron
LiviaRedlands, CAHairPlatinum BlondeDry HairColor Treated HairLove It!!!This is my second Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium flat iron. My first one was the 1". I wasn't sure whether I wanted to order the exact same one, or try the 1 1/2" one.
I decided on the 1 1/2" one and love it as much as the first one. Does a wonderful job. I love that the blades are as long as they are. I do have long hair and the 11/2" really gets the job done faster.
I would definitely recommend either one. The size is personal preference. As far as performance it really gets the job done. I don't even have to have it on the hottest setting. So, if you are not sure, just give it a try, you will not regret it. :)posted This weekLink to this post -
RachaelHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBam BamLove this straightener! After going through 2 Chi's I've been using a 1" solia for the past 4 years. I wanted to try something new. I have very thick, coarse, curly hair and this makes my hair very straight and shiny. My coworkers kept complementing how nice and healthy my hair look after the first use! It is very difficult to get my hair straight, and with this iron i dont have to turn the heat all the up and fry my hair. Sometimes i do hit the power button since its on the outside. But i love how i can curl my ends. Definitely worth it!posted Mar 11, 2013Link to this post
JackieHairDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairLove It, Except For Two Things.Positive: My hair stylist used this flat iron before and I loved my results so much, that I decided to purchase one of my own. I love this flat iron! It gives me the results that I want. I have curly dry hair and this flat iron makes my hair extremely flat and gives a little shine too. Negative: The things that I do not like about this product is that the outside of the plates gets really hot, so you can't really touch it. Also, this flat iron makes a sound (like a squeaky sound) every time you close it to flat iron a piece of hair. After a while, it kinda becomes annoying. I got an amazing deal when I made this purchase. Not only did I buy this baby bliss for 130.00, but I also received Solia flat iron ( 89.00) for Free, which also works great! I get the same amazing results as the baby bliss. It was great buy.posted Mar 3, 2013Link to this post

TinaLightweight, Easy To Use!I love this straightener. It is easy to handle, lightweight and does a great job. I was using another straightener that was high end and started to feel like my hair looked really dry. I wish I would have switched earlier! My hair dresser uses this tool and I just had to have it! folica was the best price as well! Tinaposted Jun 13, 2012Link to this post

SarahHairBlackNormal HairOily HairDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairAmazing Flat Iron Beats All OthersI really love this flat iron way better than my old Conair. I debated over this and the sedu but babyliss won because sedu didn't last long. I have long medium thick fine color treated slight wave frizzy at times hair and I can straighten my hair with this in ten minutes. Yes it get very hot but has temp control so just turn it down a notch if to hot. Makes hair shine and smooths my flyaways. Also if I sleep on it the next day it is still super straight and still straight after not washing for two days. I live in the south and gets very humid here and hair still stays smooth and straight. I also just recently received the solia ceramic iron-hotpink edition and this babyliss is so much better at getting the pin straight hair I desire. Both good irons but I prefer titanium over ceramic for super straight hair. So glad I got this flat iron. Amazing!!!posted May 17, 2012Link to this post
RayNorthern OntarioHairCurly HairLove It!I have had it for quite a while and it works beautifully. The blue paint is chipping off, and the area around the plates is getting a little discoloured from heavy use, but it continues to work like new. Also, the plates themselves have no paint/ceramic/titanium coating chipped off either. I deffinately recommend this product.posted May 7, 2012Link to this post
MonicaCaliforniaHairMedium BrownOily HairThick or Coarse HairTurns Hair Into Fine Silk!Although my natural hair is in between wavy and semi-straight, I have a LOT of it and it is VERY thick, long, and irritating. When I don't do anything to it, let it air dry, or even blow dry -- it's comparable to a lion's mane.
I have used straighteners in the past, although not often due to the fear of damaging my hair and even when I only used them on the occasion, my hair would still feel damaged on the ends.
And with the other straighteners in the past, they never felt like they could completely straighten my hair: my locks would only stay straight for a short amount of time before going wild and I'd see myself slowly turn back into Mufasa the lion king. This straightener does what I only dreamed of: turns my hair into a the soft, fine silk that gleams beautifully... and keeps throughout the day! Recently, I had a woman approach me, and without warning, started playing with my hair asking what I did with it to make it so soft and shiny. My compliments to the makers of Babybliss!
Also, upon purchasing the product, you also receive a 4 year warranty ... you can't beat that, folks!posted Mar 20, 2012Link to this post -
AmeenaOrlandoHairBlackDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBest Flat Iron Ever ! !This is the best flat iron I have ever owned. I have used other flat irons, FHI, Chi, Sedu, etc. I had the sedu recently, and thought that was an awesome flat iron. After trying my cousin's Babyliss, I returned the sedu and exchanged for the Babyliss. It has been awesome, cuts my flat iron time to half. I have long, thick curly hair. It use to take about an 45 minutes to at least an hour to blow-dry & flat iron my hair. Additionally, I would always have to let my hair air dry for at least an hour. Now, I use a little Moroccanoil after I wash my hair & let my hair airdry for about 15 minutes. It only takes about 25 minutes to blow-dry & flat iron my hair. My stylist has even noticed the difference in the texture of my hair, she says its a lot softer & not as dry. I usually have to get my haircut every 6 to 8 weeks for my split ends due to all the heat, but when I went last week, she didn't even want to cut my hair because she said I didn't need it & I can wait till every 3 months. I bought this flat iron for my sister & she loves it, since she never had a professional flat iron before. My sister was amazed at the difference in her & how much time she saved. Thanks Babyliss, I plan on getting the babyliss nano titanium air dryer next.posted Aug 4, 2011Link to this post

Why I Don't Go to Many Live Events
I love the theater and music. I love sporting events. I love to watch live performances. Video is good, but there's nothing like being in an arena watching your team or favorite artist perform. For all that I love live productions, however, I very rarely attend any. Why? Ticket prices. I don't dispute that artists [...]

This puzzle is so breath-taking and advanced. At first, I didn't want to solve it, but since it's a puzzle, I solved it. So my sister was looking at this puzzle and accidentally pulled it apart. I finally, after a week of fooling with it, I put it back together. This puzzle was very difficult, amazingly well made, a beautiful idea well executed, and perfect for any puzzle person (like me) that likes taking puzzle apart. This is a great deal!

GALLIPOLIS — A Rio Grande woman will be monitored for two years by the adult probation department of the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County after pleading guilty to one count of arson and one count of insurance fraud.
Marcella L. Taylor, 55, 21 Central Avenue, Rio Grande, was recently sentenced to 24 months of community control in the common pleas court and ordered to pay $2,480 in restitution to the Village of Rio Grande following a February 2011 fire at her residence.
Taylor was indicted earlier this year by a grand jury on one count of arson and insurance fraud, both fourth degree felonies.
The defendant was arrested by officers with the Rio Grande Police Department on March 19 along with Gary M. Barry, 57, Thurman, who was indicted for complicity to arson in relation to the case.
The charges followed an investigation into the residential fire that occurred on February 19, 2011, at Taylor's home at 21 Central Avenue — a single family dwelling.
A nearby resident alerted authorities to the fire and, reportedly, one firefighter sustained minor injuries battling the blaze but was not hospitalized as a result of the injuries.
The investigation into the fire was conducted by the Division of State Fire Marshal, Rio Grande Police Department, Gallia County Sheriff's Office, Rio Grande Fire Department and Gallia County Prosecutor's Office.
According to the indictment in this case, the amount of the fraudulent claim against the victim of the insurance fraud, State Automobile Mutual Insurance, was $7,500 or more, but less than $150,000.
The home was completely destroyed in the fire.
Taylor pleaded guilty to both charges on July 2 after a negotiated plea was filed in this case.
A victim's statement, agreeing to the plea was also filed on July 2 and signed by Assistant State Fire Marshal Keith Elliott.
The case against Barry, who pleaded not guilty to aiding or abetting Taylor in committing arson during a hearing in March, was recently dismissed.
According to an entry filed and signed by Judge D. Deans Evans and Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins, a "nolle prosequi" has been entered and the prosecution in this case will not proceed.
"The nolle is entered at the request of the State of Ohio, as further investigation is necessary," the entry reads.
Barry will be accessed the costs of the prosecution.

At the end of an i1Display2 calibration*, it allows you to see "before and after". The two states are often very different - eg very cool vs quite warm, or whatever.
Some people mistakenly think that this is comparing the previous calibration with the new one. Because the difference is so great, it makes people say "Gee, I should have calibrated sooner! It was way off!!"
Relax. What that before-and-after is showing you is the new monitor profile vs the completely unprofiled state. It's not comparing last month's calibration with this month's calibration.
The truth is, modern LCD monitors don't drift much, and there will be very little (if any) visible difference between monitor profiles from month to month. If you accidentally let your calibration go for two or three months, you shouldn't be doing your images much damage, if any. In the old days of CRTs, it was a different story - those things drifted like rafts.
However, I hasten to add - if you're doing work that requires a critical level of colour accuracy, you'd be careless not to calibrate quite frequently, just to be sure.
*I don't know if other calibrators (eg Spyders) offer a similar before-and-after view. If anybody knows, I'd love to hear their experiences.

About half an hour away from site...
An hour ago.
The keys dangled from the ignition. A gentle chime as night breeze slipped through. Smoke blown from his nostrils and mouth. A cigarette between his fingers. An arm crooked over the window as he relaxed while his partner grabbed something for them to drink. And to keep them awake as well as warm. He looked up into the nightsky between the two buildings where he parked. A peaceful night, or so he thought. Stars scattered and seemed so close. Almost within reach. Years of patrolling on the streets have been a boring chore thus far. Nothing exciting ever happened. Aside from responding to some disturbance call and settling some pesky squabbles between family members or the neighbors, there was really nothing much happening. At least not on his watch. Perhaps he was cursed. Maybe not so lucky like the others from the station were. Eric Cosswell basically had no stories to tell when the rest get together sometimes in a bar. Off duty certainly. Some of his friends even offered to swap their route ocassionally. Hoping they could escape their "lucky" moments. But only to be disappointed.
Nevertheless, he did his homework. Sitting by himself in the station and looking into files and records of cold cases. Theoritically experiencing them and pretending that he was placed in charge of each cases. Soon, he'd covered almost every file in those steel drawers. From cases dated way back into the 1937's up to this very day. He even practised them. Studying the insides of a cafe. Imagining that it was a crime scene or the sort. Daydreaming mostly. Yet he knew what needed to be done should he be in that kind of situation one day.
"2 Romeo 30, what's your 10-20?" the radio suddenly sounded.
He took another lungfull of smoke before flicking the cigarette butt out of the window and reached for the set. Eric cleared his throat. His finger pressing down on the button and paused for a second or two before he replied, "I'm at First and Main.. over."
"2 Romeo 30, one-eighty-seven on Jeffery Austin apartment, Mastic Avenue.. Please respond."
"2 Romeo 30, 10-4.. Responding.. Over and out!"
Turning the ignition key, he shifted into gear and flicked the blue and red lights on. Ahead, his partner, Jake, started to pick up pace. Eric then drove forward and met him halfway.
"Another disturbance call?" Jake asked as he opened the door and handed him with the cup of hot coffee and a box of Dunkin'-Donut. "Homicide.." he replied. "Tch! Yeah right..." he spontaneously reacted. "Get yourself back out there and grab another coffee for the coroner.." said Eric in a tone much too calming. Definitely not very convincing for Jake. His partner turned to look at him with the seat belt already halfway across his chest. "You serious?" Eric gave him a stern look which immediately sent him cursing as he scurried out of the car and back into the cafe, convinced.
Present time..
"Sorry it took a while, Joseph.." he paused as he eyed on the corpse. "Coffee?" Eric offered.
Jake followed closely behind and his face immediately contorted with disgust. The nauseatic sight as well as it's stench had gotten to him. The man turned back and exitted the room. He croaked with a couple of false start trying to vomit the earlier snacks outside. Eric almost chuckled at his partner's reaction to the scene before he turned back to look at his surroundings. Studying and observing.
"Found anything where we could start with, yet?" Eric asked.

Rage Quitting - Who does it?
Like (0)
Hi - Im SmokeyCheese and Ive been a rage quitter since FPS started. I will rage quit for the following reason - 1. I get noob toob'd 5 times in a row. 2. Lag is overwhelming me.
I will not rage quit when Im getting owned by vet and guns. Thats the game. Sometimes, you just suck. If you wish to check my stats - feel free to look up my gamertag on XBL which is SmokeyCheese1.
Your turn..............
Let's just say, this is the first COD game where I've been doing that....not because I suck or am getting owned (I'll stay in those honest games), but I will rage quit when it's more than obvious I"m getting screwed by being host and/or the lag becomes so un-bearable its not worth my time to play.
Every one rage quits because the game is s**t. It gives people a 2 second advantage over people with good internet connection, The amount of times my rockets, grenades etc dissappear is a joke. Your screen shows you shooting at someone only to find out your not shooting at all your just standing there like a handicapper.
just as long as you don't exaggerate. 2 seconds? right.
I fell you the other day I was shooting somebody he kill me and when I see the killcam
I didn't even shoot one bullet at him like I stood there a let him kill me.
the only time I really quit is if my team is doing extremely bad. I'm talking split screeners, 7 year olds, etc.
most of the time when I am finished the match with those kind of people on my team, they stay on my team in the next match.

~RUGGED SAVIOR (Mobile)
Yeap. Seems like when there is horrible people in the lobby they always end up on my team. Even then ill try to just leave the lobby before the game starts because its pretty easy to see the outcome of 6 prestiged players vs me and green ranked noobs. Only time i rage quit is when im on the bad end of lag comp. No points in playing an unfair game.
ive just rage quit a game of hardcore kill confimed because it felt like i was a second or 2 behind everyone and i couldnt lock on to any air support so i left then found out i was the host and before any one says anything i didnt dashboard i left and took the loss even though we were winning
Question for all your quitters.
When you quit, how do you quit? Do you.....
1. Exit the game via the in-game menu?
2. Exit the game via the XBL Dashboard button?
I have quit games a few times but usually only because of lag issues.
I akways quit through the in game menu.
I will rage quit when the connection is bad or when I am playing solo on a team of thumbless nit wits.
However I will say that it isn't always easy to tell. I played against a group of pros at COD XP and it was so bad that I thought for a second there was a connection issue. Nope, turns out they were just pros.
I only rage quit on MW2, often not in a rage, but, because it's futile to stand there when you are being noobed 'over and over' again. After using every weapon on MW3, launchers 'under barrel' or secondary, I know I've got to survive two possible explosions from an oncoming enemy...not 30.
The other reasons I quit:
What does it matter if I/you/we quit?
Reasons I rage quit:
1.) Join a game in progress on a team losing by more than 1.5 times the enemy teams score
2.) Killed by a guy sitting in a corner with assassin...from different corners in different buildings. All three of his kills out of bad luck, none of his 27 deaths.
3.) Spawn raped
4.) Killed by a killstreak upon joining a game or killed by 3 killstreaks (other than osprey/ac-130) upon spawning. This would be after the first one kills me and I put on blind-eye.
5.) Terrible connection
6.) Lobby of Tryhards (everyone using the same class set-up...its boring, usually assassin and FMG9/Type 95. Not an overpower issue, a "this is repetitive and boring" issue.)
7.) Someone spawns at the same point at the same time I do.
8.) Immediate rage quit to anyone one any team using an exploit/out of map glitch/hack
9.) For shenanigans: Trolling predator missiles i.e. attracting their attention and rage quitting before it hits me. Those F***ing this love me and seem to penetrate my perks.
10.) Joining a spawn trapped team
11.) Lag
12.) Spawn into bullets
13.) Spawn into explosives
14.) Spawn into killstreaks
15.) Spawn into knifes
16.) Spawn into an objective
17.) Spawn next to an about to explode car
18.) Spawn into claymores
19.) Spawn into a bouncing betty
20.) Spawn next to a teamkiller
21.) Spawn into a flashbang
22.) Spawn into a concussion grenade
23.) Spawn from your mother
See? A lot of reasons to rage quit that have nothing to do with skill as a player. Also when I quit I just quit the game, I don't dashboard/turn the power off unless I need a break from the game. I might do one of those periodically but it isn't to preserve stats, it to either play another game (going to the dashboard) or go do something else (power off).
you really have 23 reasons to quit? I believe you spend most of the time in the interplay...
I normally play with 1-2 friends so rage quitting isn't really an option. I don't expect them to back out with me just because I'm having a bad game
I don't really rage at this game anyway, I've learnt to laugh off BS deaths. Getting angry just means you'll make more mistakes and do even worse.
I don't rage quit, I dashboard. Why? When:
1. I spawn into bullets
2. Knifed at spawn (constantly happens)
3. Bullshit kill (Type 95 abuser turns around and no aims me from 400 feet away while I just fired 50 rounds into them
4. Cowards run away when I shoot at them (and don't come back) (I get the difference between running, and finding cover)
5. I get trolled (or at least attempted troll0
6. I get a **** team
7. I spawn into a grenade
8. Spawn into enemy player who proceeds to do either 1 or 2.
9. I get a **** spawn in enemy territory.
10. I tell them to play fair, and they tell me I'm mad.
I dont get people that dashboard. I get quitting. I have to do it all the time when I get really bad lag, but I do it through the in-game menu. I don't care about stats, I care about fun. I often quit and I'll see the host migration screen as I'm quitting (which tells me I was host). Sometimes I'm not the host and I still get crappy games, but Dashboarding doesn't make sense.. it just takes longer for you to log back into COD and find a new game. That's silly to me.
I rage quit when lag prevents me from playing properly. I rage quit when I get dumped into a match where a team is losing and the enemies are spawn trapping.
CoD is the only game that makes me rage quit. I've never played a game that's so unreliable as this one. Knife a guy in the face? Watch him laugh at you as he one-shots you with his AR.
I do not rage quit, I prefer to finish all my games and then back out of the lobby and find a new one, or just shut the game off (if i am not having fun then what's the point) The only time I quit mid game, is when I have to leave for something that demands immediate attention (like someone showing up at my door)
You have to quit sometimes, unless you like being cheated. When I put five bullets from an mk14 all in your upper body and you still manage to kill me. It's time to move on.
I rage quit the **** out of this game last night. Its like someone hit my lag switch to the on position.
i wouldnt call what i do rage quiting because i associate rage quiting with someone with poor skills getting owned constantly. However i will quit matches only under the following circumstances.
Enter a match already in progress on a team getting annihilated or with less than 3 minutes left.
Spawn into a match already in progress, trapped like hell, killed consecutively because the program keeps respawning me in the same place.
Spawn into a match where everyone is running around with fmg's or shottys on extreme conditioning
I'll never dash / sign out, but I rage quit whenever I feel like it. Even when going 50-20 something, losing. I might rage quit since I hate playing with no chance of winning, purely because matchmaking is not fair at all imo. How often do you play with all low levels against a bunch of prestigers, amazing how they can still lose. Yes, it does not say everything, but let's face it usually does, funny how they get the better spawn point a lot too.
They should let clans / parties of 4 plus play each other constantly and mix randoms based on average XP per game.
No problem with ragequitting. I do it everytime I'm hosting a game. I don't ragequit because I'm the host but because lag is so frustrating I have to quit just to find out I was the host. When other people ragequit and a new host is selected in the middle of the game it's most of the times better than before. So ragequitting is fine BUT dashboarders can straight go to hell
1.) When I lose more to the lag/host than to the person's skill level.
2.) When the whole team is using Type95 Rapid Fire or Akimbo FMG-9s as a primary.
3.) When I'm going to lose in the next few seconds of joining.
4.) When the people not in my party is hardcore feeding and cost us the game.
I do it...
I do, when:
a) I lose ANY gunfight due to lagging.
b) The game is further than halfway complete, e.g. My team is about to lose in one more kill.
c) The spawns get me killed unfairly. Spawning anywhere but on the opposite side of the map to the enemy is just plain wrong.
d) Sometimes, when the enemy gets an AC-130, Pave Low, Juggernaut or Osprey Gunner (or the Support Strike Package variant) from a Care Package.
that is plain wrong...you should quit when you get one of those in a care package too.
I really only rage quit when I am doing terrible for whatever reason. Could be lag, could be i'm widly outplayed, or could be just cause I am sucking. I justify it by telling myself i'm helping the team win by not giving them excessive amounts of death.
Also, if my wife gets upset cause i'm playing too much and ignoring her i'll sometimes quit in-game to demonstrate my love for her
well...the only person here with a good reason to quit.
-I rage quit when my team is full of douchebags who don't give a **** about the Objective.
Which happens all the time you are playing without people you know. Luckily, this problem is not that huge of a deal for me since I play with parties most of the time.
Knife a guy in the face? Watch him laugh at you as he one-shots you with his AR.
you mean shoot a guy in the face and watch him laugh at you as he knifes you...
I rage quit constantly in this game, i never used to in any game before this one, but this game is so god damn terrible i can't stand it. I am constantly getting screwed over by lag, and spawning. Its gotten to the point where i play a couple games a day and cannot even deal with the bullsh*t. I'd rather play ANY other FPS then this piece of sh*t.
I never quit. Take no prisoners comarades.
Who doesn't rage quit? It's one of the finer things in life
Lag makes me rage quit. Thats about it. But there are many forms of lag. If Im shooting guys and my bullets arent killing then Im gone. If enemies are killing me in 1 bullet Im gone. If people are jumping all over the screen Im gone. If people are popping out or nowhere Im gone. etc.
p.s. I wont leave at a first sign of these things but if they happen to me 2-3 times in a row and Im getting slaughtered because of it, then Id rather just quit and take the loss now rather than let my KDR suffer and take the loss at the end.
I rage quit when I'm in a game full of scumbag QuickScopers.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Don't bother coming back with all the excuses about QS'ing being a noble skill, you're just tossers! Accept it and move on.
That is all.
I rage quit if I know I'm host and a quickscoper is winning a FFA. I wait till they have almost won before doing it as well, just to p*ss them off!
Good Man.
Quickscoping takes more skill than SMG or AR spamming... you cant argue that. No one can.
Start at hip-fire-position.
Take all the numbers.
Add quickdraw pro to the sniper and the other player.
Tell me:
Who gets the ADS kill first of the sniper (MSR) and someone using MP5?
The answer is:
The MSR user can aim down the sights and fire a lethal shot before the MP5 user can aim down the sights and fire 3 rounds for the kill.
So, using raw numbers, MSR > All SMGs for short range, assuming both players hit with their first shot and use quickdraw.
ARs don't stand a chance in hell, having only fired a single round when the quickscoper has fired his shot that kill even though it misses by 10 feet.
Quickscopers is the SOLE REASON I use quickdraw on EVERY SINGLE ONE of my 10 custom classes.
Snipers aiming down the sights in 0.20 second with quickdraw, ready to kill, when ARs need 0.30 seconds to aim down the sights without quickdraw and SMGs 0.20 seconds to aim down the sights without quickdraw, the odds are in the quickscoper's favor versus people without quickdraw.
Even with quickdraw, 0.10 seconds ADS time on a PP90M1 means you fire two rounds aiming down the sights before the sniper gets his first shot.
Assuming you actually manage to aim at the person in 0.10 seconds, and he gets to fire his first and only shot, you will still lose unless HE MISSES.
I HATE when MY LIFE depends on someone else MISSING.
I hate quickscoping because MY LIFE is in THEIR HANDS when they quickscope.
Luckily, most quickscopers suck.
But even then, I hate the fact that I ONLY WIN because THEY FAIL.
Pretty sure my post suggested that you didn't come back with Lame excuses relating to your mental disability.
I only do it if:
1. If I join a match half-way through and is clearly one-sided with no chance of winning
2. Team-mates bad enough that I cannot make up for them in terms of getting more points than the opposing team.
3. Trollololol. Cancelling Game-winning killcams by leaving the match. Of course, this only works if I was the last death.
My rage-quiting:
1. Play games online
2. Crappy DSL modem starts spotting
3. Connection resumes, but I'm kicked out of Game/Lobby/Live, etc
4. Turn off console and go outside

Make a Miniature Rock or Fairy Garden: Step-by-Step Instructions (Part 1)
I finished a few handmade miniature gardens over the last few days. I thought it might be useful for people just starting to explore the world of minaiture rock and fairy gardens to see what specific steps I took to arrive at the finished products.
Containers:For most of these gardens, I used as my 'canvas' various pots (very amateurish, but still fun to make and - endlessly! - polish and grind) I made from concrete or more lightweight hypertufa. Here's one here:
Little Mountaintop Cabin Miniature Garden
PlantsI used dwarf evergreens, succulents (sempervivium and sedum) and herbs (rosemary and tarragon). The possibilities are endless and limited only by (well, these ARE limitations, it's NOT that wide-open, but you still have plenty of options). Things to keep in mind:
- your climate zone
- the amount of sun your plants will be getting and
- your personal preferences for color, plant type and size of the plants
I'll go over details of all this in later posts.
I'm fascinated by geology: boulders, rocks and stones (and pebbles and even sand and dust!) of all sorts. All these easily found items provide a very simple way to add interesting landscaping details.
By using rocks from a particular region and varying their height, you can make a much more interesting and realistic-looking miniature rock or fairy garden scene. Coral and aquarium stones and colored sand - rinse them to get rid of debris that could harm your plants - they're fun and can make a dramatic visual statement.
In some of these projects, to give an architectural anchor, I placed miniature cottages (aka "fairy houses" or "fairy woodland cottages") or small glazed ceramic castles or crazy, crooked houses made by a very talented artist friend of mine, Claudia McGill.
Right above's a miniature garden with some of Claudia's things in it, inspired by the theory of evolution (it's a real thing you know - evolution, I mean).
First: Securing drainage holes to prevent soil erosionMake sure there even IS a drainage hole - and cover it
To keep soil in and around the roots, before I do anything, I always start off by covering the drainage hole (make sure there IS a drainage hole - if not drill one - PRONTO!) with a piece of hardware cloth and keep a minimum 1/2-inch margin around the whole shebang. Let me save you a lot of trouble: hardware cloth is cheap and dependably sturdy. But, more importantly, here's a tip you could spend hours puzzling over: the higher the gauge, the more flexible it is. Try to get gauge 20 or 22 or 24. Oh, and btw, please wear gloves when handling or cutting this stuff - it has sharp edges and can cut your hands. (Don't say I never warned you!)
In case these details don't interest you, here's a photo:
Ok….with hardware cloth or chicken wire in place over the drainage hole(s), get some window screening (nylon screening is best because it won't rust). This you can buy by the roll or in pieces at any local or big-box hardware store.
Next: Adding the soilAfter covering the drainage holes with a sturdy cover of hardware cloth and nylon screen, I add the soil. (I use my own blend of potting soil, sand, gravel and turkey grit - and sometimes some other add-ins, depending on the plants I'm using).
For a miniature garden with succulents and / or dwarf conifers, you can get away with using potting soil (70 - 80%), maybe mixed with and pea gravel for the remaining 20-30% (by weight).. But if at all possible, DO use the sand or gravel. It will promote drainage and your plants will be much healthier than if you simply use basic garden-store potting mixes.
Why add anything at all to basic potting or cactus / succulent soil?I'll tell you! The most important thing with succulent and miniature conifer container gardens is to make the plants have drainage so the roots don't become waterlogged. The roots need to be able to breathe. If there's no drainage, either because of no drainage holes or because you used a too-thick soil mix, YOUR PLANTS WILL DROWN and quickly die
.If you don't want to go to the trouble of finding turkey grit or tufa (the two best additives for miniature or rock garden soils, but not always easy to find), do yourself a favor and add some gravel or sand or both. And keep the organic material content down, too. To much dead decomposing bark will soak up water that'll stay there and soak your roots until, again, they're gasping for air.
Here are two more of my little experimental project gardens, just for fun:
Enchanted Garden With Waterfall
TOMORROWMore instructions, focusing on:
- Choosing a container (guess I should have mentioned that earlier, but…doesn't matter - you can use practically ANYTHING!)
- Using structures or little houses (and how to find them)
- Choosing and placing rocks and stones for height and depth contrast, and
- Planting your outdoor living miniature garden plants.
In the meantime, have a great spring day! Or if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, keep warm - or dry!

A version of this post was originally published at the Cooperative Catalyst
On Thursday a video of student Jeff Bliss, a sophomore at Duncanville High School in Texas, went viral in hours. In the video below we are privy to Bliss passionately speaking his truth. He knows that learning is more than packets to fill out, more than passively fulfilling simple and mindless tasks.
You want kids to come into your class, you want them to get excited for this? You gotta come in here, you gotta make them excited. You want a kid to change and start doing better? You gotta touch his frickin' heart. Can't expect a kid to change if all you do is just tell him," he says, as the teacher repeatedly tells him to leave the class.
While his message was pointed toward his experience in this classroom, it was born from a feeling that is boiling up in classroom after classroom across the country. It is why students are standing up and walking out of schools, protesting because they know there are better ways to learn together. They know they learn best when they are able to learn with teachers that teach to their hearts and not just to the test.
Students are not alone in this feeling, teachers and community leaders are also standing up and walking out. It is important to remember that we should not watch this video as an attack on teachers, but instead an opportunity to talk about what we want in our schools.
What struck me most about the video is that Jeff Bliss felt he needed to voice his ideas in a way that would get him kicked out of class. Why is this the only way for him to voice his visions about learning and education? Why did it take a 90 second video for us to realized that students "get it"? Why do we wait for students to burst or break before we listen?
Many of us are not waiting for students to reach a breaking point, we are proactively engaging them by providing positive venues and space for them to express their ideas, stories and...
In a lot of other school settings, the speech therapist does one thing, the occupational therapist does another thing, the resource room teacher does another thing, and the teacher's doing a 4th thing, and the left hand never really knows what the right hand is doing. Here at Mission Hill everything is integrated.
As a teacher, especially as a young teacher, the instinct is - close the door and hope everyone thinks that everything's going reall well. And the reality is that you need support and you need help. With open doors, we're always saying those things to each other.
Anyone who works with children - in fact, anyone who works with human beings - will recognize the gift and burden that comes with helping another person weather the storm of growing up and finding a place in the world. For the students at Mission Hill and Marlboro Elementary there's a community of adults standing by, ready to provide shelter from the storm.
This is a guest post by Matthew Knoester, a National Board Certified Teacher and former teacher at the Mission Hill School, and currently Assistant Professor of Education at the University of Evansville. Matthew recently wrote a book about the Mission Hill School, entitled Democratic Education in Practice: Inside the Mission Hill School (Teachers College Press, 2012) and edited a book called International Struggles for Critical Democratic Education (Peter Lang, 2012).
Mission Hill School founder Deborah Meier has authored a column, or "blog debate," on the website of Education Week since 2007. She began by debating Diane Ravitch, where they discussed a wide range of educational issues and where Ravitch surprised readers by agreeing with much of what Meier wrote. Since Ravitch left the sight to focus on her own excellent blog, Meier has interacted with an impressive list of educational thinkers, including Pedro A. Noguera, Alfie Kohn, Eric Hanushek, and, most recently, Elliot Witney, one of the first principals of a KIPP charter school.
One of the central issues discussed by Witney and Meier was the idea of "No excuses," a common refrain among school leaders who claim to allow little room for students to make mistakes, academically or behaviorally. Meier argued that that is the wrong approach: "The term 'no excuses' bothers me the same way a whole host of other slogans harden our hearts and brains to the fact that there are 'excuses.' At its heart, our legal system rests on the demand that defendants have a right to present their 'excuses'—to be heard."
Meier noted that adults in fact "hear" and respond to students' excuses, but differently, due to pre-conceived notions, as well as accepted forms of acting and communicating in schools. She continued, "I have experienced the sad fact that some folks learn to expect their right to be heard out—with their 'excuses'—and some not. On the whole, it's partly because of their skill at making excuses and partly...
This is a guest post by Laura Thomas, Director of the Antioch Center for School Renewal, the service division of Antioch University New England's Education Department. Laura is currently involved in research around the experiences of students and educators in rural environments, particularly in the areas of social justice, problem based learning, and technology integration. The author of Facilitating Authentic Learning, (Corwin Press, 2012), she blogs at The Critical Skills Classroom and can be found on Twitter @CriticalSkills1
About two minutes into Chapter 7 of A Year at Mission Hill, we see a young student leaving his classroom, obviously frustrated and angry. An adult follows behind, aware and watchful and prepared to guide him through the emotional storm he's obviously weathering. In the frames that precede and follow this moment, we get to see the ways that the Mission Hill community supports kids when they are at their growing edges - when they are frustrated, disengaged, unhappy and challenging. Francie Marbury, principal of Marlboro Elementary School in Marlboro, Vermont knows about the ubiquitous nature of that moment. "That student, very angry, running down the hall – that was familiar," she notes. "And it's so refreshing that the first thing mentioned in response isn't zero tolerance, planning rooms, or suspension."
For the adults at MES, a K-8 school of nearly 90 students in Southeastern Vermont, supporting kids in their most challenging moments is a cornerstone of the educational experience. "We've modeled our approach on the 3 tiered system used in PBIS but not in a lock step way." In both schools, every adult in the building can expect to play a role. Mission Hill secretary Jonie Davies comments that kids may come to her to "regroup, take a break…even just for a hug." At MES, "the other intervention that is so based on community and relationship is just a visit to the secretary - often at the student's request." So, even though we don't...
New spoken word video out by Suli Breaks. The faces of the young people listening and watching Suli as he speaks to their own truth is deeply powerful. Young people need to hear that they are not alone in their want for meaningful education. Neither are teachers struggling to be real mentors for youth, or parents trying to give their kids the support they need.
Watch the video and leave a comment on our Facebook page.
"A community of adults and children involved and empowered in their own education."-- the narrator speaking to the community feeling at Mission Hill
"I've become a better person - as a human being - for being here, not just a better teacher."-- quote from Mission Hill teacher James McGovern
In schools like Mission Hill, the work of turning school into an extended family is integral to the school experience: no matter where a child goes, they can rely on adults caring for them as whole people. . . .Teachers, like their students, need a learning community too--where we can collaborate, take risks, make mistakes, learn from others, be nurtured, fail and triumph.
As a community educator who spent a school year at Mission Hill, the following words pop into my head when thinking about Mission Hill: embrace, positive, family, discover, community of caring, nature, arts, democracy.
This concept of community that is explored in Chapter 6 of A Year at Mission Hill is an indispensable notion if we want to cultivate in students a strong sense of self and an understanding of how that self...
Sneak peeks and previews are some of my favorite things. This one shares more about the Oregon Innovation Tour. If you want to go or think you might but aren't sure - I hope it gets you to push the button and make it happen. If you can't attend, but would like to - this will give you a good dose until the twitter feed (Hashtag #ItourOR) starts buzzing with updates.
The tour is set to begin on Wednesday, May 1st at 3:00pm with a visit to the GANAS program in Eugene, Oregon. We will get to hear from Roscoe Carson, the retired teacher who helped create this program and has passed it on to a next generation of leaders. We will take a few moments to talk about how to have a tour experience - how to generate observations and questions as a group - and then we will get to simply be in GANAS and watch University of Oregon MEChA students mentor and work with middle school students. GANAS is a program rooted in growing bi-cultural leadership - a way of supporting students academically by focusing on the the strength of their identity and culture as Latino students.
After a film presentation, there will be a panel of GANAS students, alumni, staff, and parents. Participants will get to learn about what makes this program work and what everyone is learning about. Then, the GANAS community will offer homemade enchiladas and a family style meal with everyone sticking around for a shared dinner. The evening will close with 90 minutes of further orientation to the Oregon Tour, participants learning about each other's work, and making meaning of the time with GANAS. Folks who aren't local will be taken to the Valley River Inn for a relaxing evening and sleep.
Thursday morning will begin with a continental breakfast and some good coffee. Then, at 9:30am the visit to the Coop Family Center on the campus of the University of Oregon will begin. Here participants will be introduced to this early-childhood center by Pedagogical Coordinator Ben Minnis. After this preview,...

I checked in with the Indians this morning to find out whether they've had any quantifiable uptick in ticket sales ahead of this weekend's home series against Baltimore.
Director of communications Curtis Danburg said there's "definitely been a positive buzz," but it's too early to quantify the effect. He went on to say, as you might expect, the Indians' value proposition and continued improvement on the field will result in attendance increasing.
Having said that, here's betting Indians officials are anxiously — the misuse of which is a gigantic pet peeve of this copy editor — anticipating this weekend. (If you're anxiously awaiting something, you're doing the waiting nervously. If you're very excited about something, you're eager for it to get here.)The Indians were dealt a terrible hand with their early schedule, with way too many April home games; their first six home games barely registered with patrons. Their starting rotation was a question mark, got off to a terrible start and righted itself. The lineup, including Jack Freaking Hannahan, has hit. Here they are, with an 8-4 record (after two straight losses to end their West Coast road trip), coming home to, if Twitter and Facebook would have you believe, a rabid fan base.Yet as we all know, Twitter and Facebook are free. The real test is how many Clevelanders pay to see the team, and fans resoundingly have shown they're not willing to buy a ticket. Yet. (And, as I've written before, I don't envy the Indians; they have a tough product to sell in a, shall we put it kindly, struggling market and in a sport where the odds are stacked against them.)So that's why there's no doubt anxiety at Carnegie and Ontario as we head into this weekend with Baltimore, which is in first place: The team has said all along the fans would come back when they win. When they start better. When they have young players worth watching; when Travis Hafner is back to his old self. When they put a better product on the field.That time is now. It's simple: If they have to go through this every five years, the future remains bleak for the Indians in Cleveland. Team officials have said for the record that they will spend at the right time in their "cycle," meaning when prospects are big-league ready and can be supplemented by veterans to contend. Well, if every fifth year in their cycle they fall to last in Major League Baseball in attendance — below teams that didn't go to the ALCS three years ago, below a team that has had 18 straight losing seasons (and whose park is only seven years younger than Progressive Field) — that isn't sustainable.When the lows are that low, the highs never approach previous highs. I'm not talking about 455 straight sellouts, but consider this: In 2007, as the Indians advanced to the ALCS, attendance improved 13.9% over 2006. If an ALCS trip nets only a 14% increase, what will just a plain old winning season this year do? And even if it's another 10% increase, that only brings an extra 140,000 fans to Progressive Field over last year. Again, I'll be eagerly watching this weekend to see the response.
Here's your early weather forecast, since folks are so quick to use Northeast Ohio's weather as an excuse for not going.For those folks, a quick bit of advice from someone who despises Cleveland's winters more than almost anything: It's never going to get any better. So you'd better deal with it.

Health Information
Prostate Cancer, Advanced or Metastatic
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic is about prostate cancer that has spread or come back after treatment. For information on prostate cancer that has not spread outside the prostate (localized prostate cancer), see the topic Reference Prostate Cancer.
What is prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer is a group of cells that grows faster than normal in a man's prostate gland. It can spread into other areas and kill normal tissue.
The Reference prostate gland Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window sits just below a man's bladder. It makes part of the fluid for Reference semen Opens New Window. In young men, the prostate is about the size of a walnut. It usually grows larger as you grow older.
The cancer may be one of these types:
- Reference Locally advanced prostate cancer Opens New Window. This is cancer that has grown through the outer rim of the prostate and into nearby tissue.
- Reference Metastatic prostate cancer Opens New Window. This is cancer that has spread, or metastasized, to the Reference lymph nodes Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window or other parts of the body.
- Reference Recurrent prostate cancer Opens New Window. This is cancer that has come back after it was treated. The cancer can come back in the prostate, near the prostate, or in another part of the body. If it comes back in another part of the body—often the bones—it is still called prostate cancer, because it started in the prostate.
What causes prostate cancer?
Experts don't know what causes prostate cancer. But they believe that getting older and having a family history of prostate cancer raise your chance of getting it.
What are the symptoms?
Sometimes there are no symptoms of either locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
When they do appear, symptoms of locally advanced prostate cancer include:
- Waking up many times during the night to urinate.
- Having trouble starting your urine stream, having a weaker-than-normal stream, or not being able to urinate at all.
- Having pain or a burning feeling when you urinate.
- Having blood in your urine.
- Having a deep pain or stiffness in your lower back, upper thighs, or hips.
Symptoms of metastatic prostate cancer may include:
- Bone pain.
- Weight loss.
- Swelling in your legs and feet.
How is prostate cancer diagnosed?
Your doctor will do a Reference digital rectal exam Opens New Window, in which he or she puts a gloved, lubricated finger in your rectum to feel your prostate. You may also have a blood test called a Reference prostate-specific antigen (PSA) Opens New Window test. These tests will help find out if you have prostate cancer or if your prostate cancer has come back.
Your doctor also may do a Reference biopsy Opens New Window. In this test, your doctor takes samples of tissue from your prostate gland or from the area where the cancer may have spread and sends the samples to a lab for testing. A biopsy is the only way to know for sure that you have prostate cancer.
If you have had prostate cancer before, your doctor may also order a Reference bone scan Opens New Window, Reference CT scan Opens New Window, or Reference MRI Opens New Window to see if it has come back or spread.
Learning that you have cancer that has spread or come back can be very hard. Some people find that it helps to talk about their feelings with their family and friends. You may also want to talk with your doctor or with other people who have had this kind of cancer. Your local American Cancer Society chapter can help you find a support group.
How is it treated?
Your treatment choices depend on your overall health, how fast the cancer is growing, and how far it has spread.
Locally advanced prostate cancer may be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or a combination of these.
Treatment of metastatic cancer focuses on slowing the spread of the cancer and relieving symptoms, such as bone pain. It also can help you feel better and live longer. Treatment may include hormone therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.
In some cases, men may be able to wait before starting treatment (active surveillance). But older men with other serious health problems may decide not to have treatment except for what is needed to treat any symptoms (watchful waiting).

Hello experts,
I'm newbie using SI-IP, so here a scenario when I need you advice.
i. Server waits for the connection;
ii. Client connects to the server;
iii. Client sends specific message (request);
iv. Server checks the message, and if a message is the right one, sends in return, a file contaxt as a stream;
v. Client gets the file context & sends to the server 'OKEY' msg.
It's first issue I'm looking forward :-).
Another one, is about reconnecting or watch-dogging, i.e. a client side. How can I set up some property (may be) or write some code to be able to control/cope a reconnection.
Thank you in advance,

Hello everyone,i am new to visual basic but have to make an application using it for a project.
I am familiar with c/c++ and visual basic seems easy enough,besides there is a lot of help online.
I am using visual basic 2010.
I have made half of the application and am facing a problem.
I have three forms so far in my project with possibly more to come but the problem is that when i run the exe file and close it after i'm done , i can still see it in the task manager and when i run it in the software itself and close it, i have to stop debugging manually everytime!
shouldn't that be automatically done each time i close??
please help i even tried putting a close button with me.close() command but it doesn't seem to help!

Application.Exit() and Environment.Exit() all could implement this. There are also some differences between them. For more information, you could read this link:

thanks peterpaulrubens2011
i used Application.Exit() in the close buttons and it works great now but i still have the same problem if i use the close button of the window instead of the one included on the form itself. can i use the application.exit() when the close button on the window is clicked or is there any other way i can accomplish this? Thanks in advance.. |

you can put your code into
form1_formclosing event but this cannot be possible as i didnt get this kind of error so far i think what you are doing is something like calling a second form from the first form hiding the first and then closing the second form but in vb you are needed to close the Main form to stop executing the program in the form closing event of the other programs put something like form1.close() |

yes ,i am calling form 2 from form 1 and hiding form 1.i'll try what you suggested and post the result.. |

Fury 2 EVO Trucks Review from Mike Roth, SW buyer, resident skater, and badass.
As skateboarders we take our trucks very seriously. Most of us keep the same pair for months or even years. We make sure when switching out decks to keep the front truck in the front, and the back truck in the back, and if somehow it gets messed up you notice right away. We stick to our brand. It's hard to stray from what we're used to. I've been riding Independent trucks for what feels like forever now, and figured it was time to try something new, so I gave the new Fury EVO 2 trucks a shot. The look of the truck is what really caught my eye and made me want to check these out. The hangar sits a little higher than standard trucks for a tighter turning radius. They also feature a forged aluminum baseplate, which gives your truck added strength with less weight. The Fury EVO 2 trucks come with medium 92A durometer Bones bushing which are responsive right from the start, but if you ride your trucks loose you'll want to throw some softer bushings in there. After a few skate sessions the Fury's are holding up nicely. They turn smooth and grind fast, which is really all you're hoping for. Next time you're thinking about getting a new pair of trucks, don't overlook the Fury's, you won't be disappointed.
Check out the Fury 2 Evo Trucks at SW, HERE.
