Used 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab Review
Edmunds expert review
Capable, comfortable and offered in a wide array of body styles and configurations, the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a fully competitive full-size pickup.
What's new for 2010
Vehicle overview
Time waits for no full-size pickup truck -- that's what the past few years have shown in this hotly contested category. Considered the odds-on favorite for segment supremacy when it debuted four years ago, the Chevrolet Silverado now finds itself beset by upstart rivals. But continual improvements along with a whole lot of fundamental goodness have kept the Silverado in our good graces. The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is an iconic American vehicle for a reason -- it's one of the best full-size trucks you can buy.
As ever, the 2010 Silverado is a robust specimen. There are no fewer than three optional V8 engines, and towing and hauling ratings are top-notch. However, drivers are demanding a lot more from their trucks these days than just the ability to do grunt work. To this end, the Silverado offers plenty of standard and available features, including luxuries like a navigation system and a USB jack, that are generally associated with passenger cars and SUVs. There are also two interiors, the more upscale of which (LTZ models only) features a full center console and good-quality materials.
The base interior, which most Silverados are stuck with, is about as spartan as it gets in this segment. It offers plenty of functionality but hardly anything in the way of visual interest. Rivals like the Dodge Ram and Toyota Tundra have nicer interiors even in base trim. Other demerits include a mediocre base V6 and a rather cumbersome turning circle.
Competition is stiff in this segment, as evidenced by our latest full-size-truck comparison test -- the Ram and Tundra both beat out the Silverado, even though the Chevy is still a fairly new design. But the Silverado finished ahead of the refreshed Ford F-150, and the trucks were closely bunched in the scoring column. Given its all-around competence, we don't hesitate to recommend the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado alongside its capable full-size peers.
Trim levels & features
The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 full-size pickup truck is available in three body styles: standard cab, extended cab and crew cab. Standard cabs can be had with either a standard bed (6-foot, 6-inch) or a long bed (8-foot). Extended cabs can have a short (5-foot, 8-inch), standard or long bed. In the interest of maneuverability, crew cabs come only with the short bed.
Regular cabs can be had in base Work or midlevel LT trims, while the extended and crew cabs are also available in the plush LTZ trim. There's an LS trim for extended and crew cabs only. The Work trim comes with the basics, including air-conditioning (extended- and crew-cab versions), a trip computer, a tilt steering wheel, OnStar telematics, vinyl seating, a 40/20/40-split front bench seat and a CD/MP3 stereo with an auxiliary audio jack. The LS adds full power accessories, keyless entry, cruise control, satellite radio and adjustable lumbar support for the driver.
The LT trim adds upgraded audio speakers and a USB jack, premium cloth seating (with a lockable compartment and a power outlet built into the center cushion of the split front seat), an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Opting for the LTZ gets you alloy wheels, rain-sensing wipers (with heated washer fluid), dual-zone automatic climate control (in extended and crew cabs), an exclusive dash design with wood and metallic accents, leather upholstery, heated front bucket seats (with 12-way power adjustment and driver memory settings), steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth, a Bose audio system (with a six-CD changer and rear audio controls) and remote engine start.
Notable options include a variety of towing packages, the Z71 off-road package (skid plates, an off-road suspension and a locking rear differential), 18- and 20-inch wheels, upgraded audio systems, a navigation system with real-time traffic updates and a rearview camera (the latter is also available separately with a rearview-mirror display), a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, heated power-folding outside mirrors, a sunroof, a power-sliding rear window, a cargo management system and rear park assist. There is also the XFE (extra fuel economy) trim variant for the two-wheel-drive 5.3-liter V8 crew cab that features aerodynamic enhancements and lightweight aluminum components that improve fuel economy. To ease loading and unloading the bed, one may opt for the EZ Lift tailgate that requires only about half the effort (compared to the standard tailgate) to open and close.
Performance & mpg
There are four different engines available for the 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500. Work trucks have a 4.3-liter V6 (195 horsepower, 260 pound-feet of torque) as standard. This can be upgraded to a 4.8-liter V8 (295 hp, 305 lb-ft) or a 5.3-liter V8 (315 hp, 338 lb-ft). The LS comes only with the 4.8-liter V8. The LT trim, depending on body style, will have one of these two V8s as standard, while the LTZ has the 5.3-liter engine as standard.Optional on select models is a 6.2-liter V8 (403 hp and 417 lb-ft). All V8s run on E85 as well as gasoline.
A four-speed automatic transmission with a tow and haul mode is standard on Silverado pickups with the base V6 and 4.8-liter V8. Silverados with the 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter V8 receive a six-speed automatic. In 0-60-mph testing, we clocked a Silverado with the 6.2-liter V8 at a very quick 6.6 seconds. Properly equipped, a Silverado 1500 can tow up to 10,700 pounds.
Buyers have a choice of either rear- or four-wheel drive. The Work and LS trims with 4WD have a traditional floor-mounted selector for the transfer case. All other 4WD trims have Autotrac, which features an automatic setting that shifts into 4WD when wheel slippage is detected.
Fuel economy estimates range from 15 mpg city/22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined for a crew cab XFE down to 12/19/14 mpg for a 4WD Silverado 1500 fitted with the 6.2-liter V8.
Antilock brakes (front disc, rear drum) are standard, with an all-disc setup available via the Max Trailering package. Stability control, front side and side curtain airbags are also standard.
In government crash tests, the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 earned top five-star ratings for frontal collisions. As of this writing, neither the government nor the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety had subjected the newly side-airbag-equipped 2010 Silverado to side-impact crash testing.
The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is part of the new breed of big trucks that are actually pleasant to drive. The steering is light but reasonably precise, and the truck's comfortable seats and smooth, quiet ride make long road trips enjoyable. One thing to keep in mind is that the Silverado's turning circle is typically larger than most other trucks. Acceleration is sluggish with the base V6 but just fine with even the smallest V8. The 5.3-liter V8 feels brawny, and the 6.2-liter V8 turns the Silverado into a veritable muscle truck. We much prefer the six-speed automatic that comes standard with the two bigger V8s; the four-speed feels past its prime.
The Silverado's interior has very good fit and finish, though on base models the overall look is rather dull relative to the competition. The Silverado LTZ improves things greatly with a unique upscale dash and door panel treatment, a full center console and attractive wood grain and metallic accents, although you'll pay a stiff entry price for the luxury ambience. The rear seat in crew-cab models is quite comfortable, and the seat cushions can be flipped upward for a nearly flat load floor. Interior storage is adequate, but some might take issue with the smallish cupholders and the haphazard organization of the center console box.

New York's Scandal Of Shame: Billy Crystal On The Yankees
There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth across the state of New York today as the citizenry tries to come to terms with the scandal that has ripped our illusions away: the Yankees signing comedian Billy Crystal to a one-game contract. He'll appear in a spring training game, as a publicity stunt. This sudden disgrace of our heroes is shaking us to the very core! The New York Post splashed the outrage on their (back) cover, and fired off a defense of our collective moral standards:
"I guess this tells you that spring training shouldn't be taken that seriously," argued the dour-faced columnist,
"You could make the argument that the Yankees have been too business-like through the years and need to lighten up, but who's next? Bruce Springsteen? Britney Spears? Instead of 'Dancing With the Stars' there could be 'Baseball With the Stars,'" joked
"The joke's on the Yankees," added
[The Daily News gave this scandalous, unimportant stunt only a four-graf throwaway piece. Does this mean they are an unpatriotic publication with much better journalistic sense than the Post? I believe it does.]

Color Inspiration: From Fine Art to Your Home
In Week 1 of The Color Cure, Maxwell talks about drawing color inspiration from color families and from well-loved items, like a favorite shirt or printed fabric. In my own life, I've found that paintings often inspire my color choices; the way an artist showcases a certain color or the emotional response I have to a piece will turn me on to a certain shade or color combination.
A new site, CPA, or "Color Palette in Art", extracts the primary colors from masterworks of art. This can be inspiring when thinking about bringing color into our own lives.
When you think about it, we all have strong positive emotional responses to certain paintings. We simply love looking at them and experiencing them. An artist's color choices can be a big part of that emotional response. In fact, Rothko's Color Field paintings are formed around the concept that people experience unique and vivid emotions when encountering color.
If you're currently pondering color choices for your home, from wall paint to a DIY project to adding in some colorful accents, check out CPA or take another look at some of your favorite works of art. You might find a powerful color or color combination you may not have thought of before. It's also a great exercise in thinking about your own feelings about color and the way it can shape the mood in your home.

And another popular Linux distribution pushes a new release out the door. This time around, it's openSUSE, as they just released version 12.1. Other than the usual latest and greatest version of all the open source desktops and associated tools, there's a few other interesting tidbits in this release as well.

Not Bad
by AnythingButVista on Sun 20th Nov 2011 21:28 UTC
I installed OpenSuSE 12.1 last night and for the most part, I liked what I see. The biggest fault came in the installation of the bootloader. If you'd rather keep the Windows 7 bootloader and have OpenSuSE's bootloader installed on its "/" partition, YaST will do that, but will also kill the MBR, leaving you with an unbootable system. You'll need a Windows 7 repair disc to restore the Windows bootloader, then you can add OpenSuSE to the boot menu using a BCD editing tool.
Other than that, their repositories seem a bit limited in available software. Packages easily found in Ubuntu, and even Mandriva are missing in OpenSuSE.

Britannica Boss Trash Talks Google And Wikipedia
from the focus-on-your-own-product dept
He seems to be trash talking both of them, specifically scolding Google for linking to Wikipedia so high up so often -- and then complaining (yet again) that Wikipedia's quality isn't really that good. I'm not sure I agree on either point (and, to be honest, there are times I do Google searches and am upset when the top result is not to a Wikipedia entry -- as I've come to almost expect it now), but even if we grant Cauz the premise that (a) Wikipedia has quality problems and (b) Google favors Wikipedia too much, it still seems slightly worrisome that Cauz is even trash talking about those issues. Obviously, it wouldn't make sense to ignore either company, but a good CEO focuses on his company's own strengths in interviews and avoids trashing the competition most of the time. Whenever I see execs doing the opposite, it almost screams out insecurity about the company's own products and their quality. Yes, Britannica has an uphill road to climb after not recognizing the transformative nature and the threat posed by Wikipedia -- but the way to do it isn't by tearing Wikipedia down even as Britannica builds up its own product, but by focusing on the quality of that product.

Placer County Parks and Grounds Division provides construction,
operation and maintenance of County parks, beaches, open space,
landscaped grounds and recreational trails for residents and
Squaw Valley Park, located at the intersection of Highway 89 and
Squaw Valley Road, offers a variety of activities for everyone!
Enjoy the multi-use trail connecting the park to the Western States
Trail, the Squaw Valley-Tahoe City paved bicycle trail, two tot lot
play areas, pickleball courts, picnic areas or the synthetic turf
soccer field. The area also includes a staging area for numerous
trail events and restroom facilities.
The 30-acre park opened in 2004 and provides recreational
activities for Tahoe area residents and visitors. Park construction
was financed with grant funds, park dedication fees and transient
occupancy fees (fees paid by hotel/motel visitors). The land was
originally owned by the U.S. Forest Service.
Special federal legislation was enacted to authorize the U.S.
Forest Service to sell the land to Placer County. The legislation
was sponsored by U.S. Representative John T. Doolittle with support
from U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer. To plan, raise funds for and
construct the park, Placer County worked closely with the North
Lake Tahoe Resort Association, the U.S. Forest Service, Intrawest,
Squaw Valley Municipal Advisory Council and the Squaw Valley Park
Reservations are available for the soccer field at Squaw Valley
Park by contacting the Placer County Parks Division at
530-886-4901. Reservations must be made no less than ten (10)
working days prior to the anticipated event. Reservations are
taken for the soccer field only; all other park facilities are
first come, first served.
Placer County Parks and Grounds Division is always working to
enhance the County's land for future recreational use and
Currently, the Parks and Grounds Division has approval to fund
new, bear-safe recycling containers for 10 beaches along the north
shore of Lake Tahoe. The Division is also seeking approval from the
Board of Supervisors to participate in funding for rehabilitation
of the floating boat docks at the Lake Forest Beach boat ramp and a
portable stage for performing arts and concert events in the north
Tahoe area.
The County is in the preliminary planning process for a Class 1
trail (10' wide and paved) from the Nevada County/Placer County
border at Truckee to Lake Tahoe. The environmental work for the
first phase of the nine-mile trail system may begin as early as
summer 2008.

Watkins had two bad games, but if can play as he did in his first games he's way better than Davis. He has to put those two games behind his shoulders and play with more focus.
I really don't believe that Davis gives us any better chance to defend against a pass happy team. All the Watkins' problems are with his mind, Davis simply hasn't the number to be a cover guy..
For example, if you look at the Burress' TD do you think that Davis could've made that play? If he was here, he would got burned. Watkins had the coverage but for some reason didn't make the play on the ball. I'm sure that Davis would've been zero chances to make any play on the ball because he would've been in position..
BTW, to beat the Colts we have to take Manning out of the field. Long drives, ball control and so on. And when he's on the field we got to use our size. They are an undersized team, Merriman abused them last year. We have to play the way the Jaguars did the last two years. Drop 7 in coverage, let Addai beat you (who is good but he's not what James used to be). We'll win if our ends could take advantage of their size and get penetration. I think we'll se a lot of Ratliff and Hatcher in this game..

Clearing the Dust
I was inspired by Maryse. I don't know why her photo inspired me so fundamentally… the simplicity? the beautiful yarn? the message?
I thought about it for days. And then I dusted off my DSLR. I had to track down the various components: Camera. Lenses. Remote. Tripod. Charger (!) Cords. I've been simplifying and organizing my home these past few months, so I was pleased with how little time it took to locate items I haven't touched in years. I may have thanked Past Jackie out loud for her thoughtfulness toward Future Jackie in the careful placement of these things. There may have even been an air five.
Pay-off for deliberate effort is sweeeet.
The photos on the memory card were a treasure trove of photos, not-yet-uploaded, so they avoided the same tragic fate as all the other photos on my old laptop… utter annihilation upon the disintegration of its internal hard drive.
EJ, circa April 2011.*
I find it extremely interesting, in a social-behavior-intersecting-with-technology sort of way, that the last picture on the memory card was 2 days before I purchased my iPhone.

Adolescent Brain Development
Jessica M. Black
Although it was once widely held that development through toddlerhood was the only significant time of tremendous brain growth, findings from neuroscience have identified adolescence as a second significant period of brain-based changes. Profound modification of brain structure, function, and connectivity, paired with heightened sensitivity to environment, places adolescence both as a heightened period of risk and importantly as a time of tremendous opportunity. These findings are of key relevance for social-work policy and practice, for they speak to the ways in which the adolescent brain both is vulnerable to adverse conditions and remains responsive to positive environmental input such as interventions that support recovery and resilience.
Autism and Suicide
Oren Shtayermman
This article reviews the changes in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM)-5. It reviews the risk factors associated with suicide in the general population and the link between these risk factors and individuals on the autism spectrum. When discussing autism and suicide (as a spectrum), the complexities that the two present influence parents, researchers, and practitioners. As an added dimension of convolution, there are only a small number of published studies in the area of autism and suicide, and many have marked the importance of awareness and connection between autism and suicide. The article presents the most recent and available research on ASDs and suicide. Methodological challenges related to these studies will be discussed as well as the implications for research, practice, and education.
Bullying in Youth
Jonathan Singer and Karen Slovak
Bullying is the most common form of violence in schools and has been shown to disrupt the emotional and social development of both the targets and the perpetrators of bullying (Raskauskas & Stoltz, 2007). Bullying can be physical, verbal, relational, and direct or indirect. There are well-established age and sex trends (Olweus, 1993; Smith, Madsen, & Moody, 1999). There has been considerable research on bullying-prevention programs and scholarship on best-practice guidelines for school social workers (Dupper, 2013). An emerging concern is with the use of electronic and Internet devices in bullying, referred to as "cyberbullying." In this article we define bullying and cyberbullying; discuss risk factors associated with being a bully, a victim, and a bully-victim; describe prevention and intervention programs; and discuss emerging trends in both bullying and cyberbullying.
Child and Adolescent Mental-Health Disorders
Susan Frauenholtz and Amy Mendenhall
Mental-health disorders are widely prevalent in children and adolescents, and social workers are the primary service providers for children and families experiencing these disorders. This entry provides an overview of some of the most commonly seen disorders in children and adolescents: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and specific learning disorders. The prevalence, course, diagnostic criteria, assessment guidelines, and treatment interventions are reviewed for each disorder. In addition, the key role of social workers in the identification and intervention of these disorders, as well as ways social workers can support the children and families experiencing these disorders, is discussed.
Children: Health Care
Barbara L. Jones and Casey Walsh
Despite rapid medical advances, children in this country still face significant barriers to adequate health care, including unequal access to insurance and health care. There is great need and opportunity in our nation at this time to advocate for the advancement and prioritization of pediatric health care. Children remain vulnerable to the challenges of poverty, violence, firearms, mental health, and health care access. Social workers play an important role in assisting children and families who face health care crises by providing supportive services, advocacy, culturally grounded assessment, trauma informed care, and evidence-based interventions to improve healthcare outcomes and quality of life. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed into law in 2010, has increased access to pediatric health and behavioral health services. While the future of this law is uncertain at the time of this writing, social work is and will continue to be an important discipline to assist children and families in the areas of health promotion and adaptation to illness and injury.
Children's Health
Shirley Gatenio Gabel
The history of social work is deeply rooted in helping vulnerable populations improve their well-being, and children have been at the forefront of these efforts since the inception of the profession. Health is long understood to be critical to children's well-being. Social workers who are skilled in integrating different systems can play pivotal roles in engineering new and improving existing health-care infrastructures and can act as advocates for fusing health-service systems with other social infrastructures to optimize outcomes for children. This entry reviews trends in children's health throughout the world, particularly in the United States. It describes the dramatic improvements in reducing infant mortality, child mortality and morbidity from many infectious diseases as well as accidental and environmental causes, and the unequal progress in realizing children's health. The challenges that lie ahead that pose risks to children's health are discussed, including the health inequities created among and within countries by social, economic, and political factors. An argument for a comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based, and cross-disciplinary approach to improve children's future health is presented.
Early Brain Development for Social Work Practice
Terri Combs-Orme
Development of the brain in the first 3 years of life is genetically programmed but occurs in response to environmental stimuli. The brain is organized "from the bottom up," that is, from simpler to more complex structures and functions, so the experiences and environment that shape early development have consequences that reach far into the future. This entry describes the ontogeny and processes of fetal and infant brain development, as well as major risks to early brain development (during pregnancy and after birth), with emphasis on the factors seen in social-work practice. Neuroscience research is changing social work practice, and understanding early brain development and the contributors to poor development is critical for social workers in medical, mental health, child welfare, and other practice settings.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Tonya Edmond and Karen Lawrence
Since its inception in 1987, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been the subject of lively debate and controversy, rigorous research both nationally and internationally, and is now used by licensed practitioners across six continents as an effective treatment of trauma symptoms and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of this entry is to provide social work practitioners and researchers with a description of the treatment approach for adults and children, EMDR's development and theoretical basis, a review of controversial issues, and an overview of the evidence of effectiveness of EMDR across trauma types and populations.
Interventions for Adolescent Depression
Jacqueline Corcoran
Rates of depression increase during adolescence and may put youth at risk for suicidality, future episodes, and impaired functioning in multiple life domains. Increased vulnerability for depression during this stage may occur because it is when the cognitive capacity for personal reflection, abstract reasoning, and formal operational thought develop; depressive styles for attributing events may hence form, along with hopelessness about the future. However, other biological and social influences may also interact with the increased cognitive vulnerability. Latino ethnicity and female gender appear to exert particular influence. Treatment for adolescent depression includes medication (mainly Prozac and Zoloft), cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and family therapy. Medication and psychosocial treatment is also combined, particularly for treatment-resistant depression.
Interventions for Physically and Sexually Abused Children
Kathleen Coulborn Faller
Social workers play a vital role in helping physically and sexually abused children. In order to play this role, they need knowledge about the nature of the problem: (1) legal definitions of physical and sexual abuse, (2) its incidence and prevalence, and (3) its signs and symptoms. Social workers have three major roles to play: (1) identifying and reporting child abuse to agencies mandated to intervene; (2) investigating and assessing children and families involved in child abuse; and (3) providing evidence-based interventions, both case management and treatment, to physically and sexually abused children.

Griner dunks three times, Lady Bears cruise to Sweet 16
Waco, TX – Brittney Griner tallied 33 points and a career- high 22 rebounds as the top-seeded Baylor Lady Bears closed out their home building for the season by breezing by the eighth-seeded Florida State Seminoles, 85-47, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at the Ferrell Center.
Griner shot 15-of-22 from the floor, added four blocks and dunked three times for Baylor (34-1), which has won 32 games in a row and will take on fifth- seeded Louisville in the Sweet 16 on March 31. Brooklyn Pope had 12 points in the triumph, while Odyssey Sims and Kimetria Hayden chipped in 11 and 10 points, respectively.
For FSU (23-10), which shot only 26.1 percent from the field, Leonor Rodriguez was the lone player to net in double figures with 11 points.
Baylor opened up a commanding 51-20 lead at the half by outshooting FSU from the field, 57.9 percent to 21.6 percent.
The Lady Bears' advantage was never in doubt after intermission as they led by as many as 45.
Griner now has 18 dunks in her career (11 this season). The other six women to have dunked in a game have combined for just 15.
Baylor has advanced to the Sweet 16 in each of the past four seasons.

Ordered some branded water bottles for our swim team. Needed 100 bottles branded and within a week. Got very quick responses from Billy Bolstridge, we went through about 4 options over email the same day and placed the order. Billy rushed it for me at no extra charge and received them in time for our Club Champs. Very happy with service and quality of product.
Needed post it notes urgently and Mollianne worked with me to get the artwork approved and stock delivered on the day it was needed! Great service and the product is also good. Thank you Mollianne for all your help!
Dan is always easy to work with and timely on his responses. Professional service.
Devon Robb has done a great job for us on several branded orders now - good products, fast response and a real personal service. Highly recommend.
Dhaval Devaliya helped me find a previous order that we've placed with Everything Branded a year ago. He also made sure that we receive the order on time and get every thing sorted within a very short period of time.
I recently purchased some mugs from Everything Branded. The whole process was very slick and smooth until the actual mugs arrived. Unfortunately the was a problem on our logo so I had to reject them. Georgia Wilson our account handler took ownership of the problem and with some help from her manager manged to get a reprint turned around in a matter of days. My only concern is why the problem wasn't flagged up first time around, and wonder if the proofing stage needs looking at. Second delivery was spot on and thank you to everyone for making it happen.
Harry Walton literally saved my life. Lovely man, great service! Emma GSA Event Manager
Brilliant service and a great product. Louis was really helpful throughout and the product arrived on time and as promised.
Ross was a great help and the whole process was easy and straightforward.
Billy has been brilliant from start to finish - I have been so impressed with the level of service I have received.
Melanie Patrick has been a big help getting our order in place. After taking over from a previous account manager who has left the business she took over seamlessly and arranged a quick delivery during the busy time leading up to Christmas. This is the second time we ordered and we are very happy with their pens.
My account manager Ross Robinson has been brilliant. After taking over from a previous account manager who has now left the business he resolved all my outstanding issues and even arranged some discount. He made the whole order process simple and easy and kept me regularly updated via email. I would highly recommend Ross and Everything Branded. Order due to be despatched in 10 days but quality of mugs from a previous order are fab.
Harry helped me super quickly getting some notebooks and jutebags printed. Responded really well and my client is super happy that it gone done so quick :)
great advice and great products
We have just placed an order and Ninoska has helped us out massively! She has done everything she possibly could to help us with our order.
Katie was very helpful from start to finish extremely efficient and made sure I was pleased with the art work and even set a few options Hopefully delivery will be just as quick and I will review again once the product is recieved but so far I'm really happy with the service
Jai was very helpful and managed to deliver our items to tight deadlines.

Manila: Philippine President Benigno Aquino III has signed a law imposing up to life imprisonment for state agents convicted of being involved in enforced disappearances, the first major human rights legislation under his nearly 3-year-old government.
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda says Aquino signed the law late yesterday, two months after it was passed by Congress.
The human rights group Karapatan says more than 1,000 political activists and suspected supporters have disappeared since the 1972-1986 Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship, including more than 200 under Aquino`s predecessor, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. It has documented 12 cases of enforced disappearance under Aquino.
US based Human Rights Watch says the new law is the first to criminalise enforced disappearances in Asia and challenged Aquino to "move quickly to enforce" it.

Former EPA official charged with stealing nearly $900K
WASHINGTON – A former high-ranking official with the Environmental Protection Agency was charged Friday with stealing nearly $900,000 from the agency over 13 years.
John C. Beale, a former deputy assistant administrator in the Office of Air and Radiation, is accused of stealing a total of $886,186 between 2000 and April of this year.
A document filed by the Justice Department says Beale stole the money by collecting bonuses and extra salary.
Beale, 64, of Arlington, Va., faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and financial penalties if convicted. He worked at the EPA for at least two decades under several presidents. He was a top deputy to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, who headed the Air and Radiation office from 2009 until taking over the agency last month.
An agency spokeswoman said the EPA is coordinating closely with its inspector general and the Justice Department on the complaint.
Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, the top Republican on the Senate Environment Committee, called the accusations appalling.
"This fraud was occurring for many years at the EPA's critical Air office, and during a period of time that Gina McCarthy was the administrator of the Air office," Vitter said in a statement. "It's clear that further investigations are necessary."
A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen declined to comment.
A lawyer for Beale could not be reached Friday.

Shopping Online: Tips for the holidays
The holiday season is upon us, and that means millions of people will be shopping for gifts online. Though online shopping peaks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, you can be a safe shopper year-round. Here are some tips to remember:
-Always use a credit card. Never use a wire-transfer or a non-credit card method to buy anything online. Laws allow you to challenge any disputed item that shows up on your credit card bill, and most credit card companies have what's called a "zero liability" policy that doesn't hold you accountable for charges made if your card is lost or stolen.
-Make sure you're using a secure site when paying for something. The site you're visiting may not have an "https" in the URL, but you should see one when you go to check out. As an example, when you shop at Amazon, you only see www.amazon.com in the URL. But when you go to pay for the items in your shopping cart, you're taken to a secure version of the site. You can see that the checkout page begins with "https," a sign that you're on a secure site.
-When in doubt, do some research! If looking at a website that seems sketchy, pause for a second and do some research on the company before you buy. The Better Business Bureau offers a list of accredited businesses on its website. You can also Google the company. You may find customer reviews and experiences that could help you determine if the site is legitimate. If in doubt, don't buy.
-Finally, don't click on links directly from e-mails. Businesses love to send e-mails touting their latest sales. But so do scammers! If you get an e-mail from the Gap advertising 30% off, don't click directly from the email. Instead, type in the Gap's web address directly into your browser and then search for the deals. This helps prevent you from clicking on a link from a phishing email.
Online shopping is fun and convenient. Just make sure you're doing it safely and securely, and you should be fine.
I needed a simple cheap end table, and found this at the top of the search. I can see why it's so popular. The cheap end table is PERFECT. Yes I'm shouting but this is a great cheap end table. If I ever need another color, I'll happily purchase. It also fit true to size. I purchased my usual as well as one size up, and the usual fit perfectly.
This World Menagerie Arnemuiden End Table was my first purchase. When I saw it online it really sparked an interest. When I received it I was so thrilled at the beauty of it. So simple yet very personal. I am quite impressed with it. It could have been done better to fit the elegance of the cheap end table.Was this comment useful to you? YesNo
This cheap end table is perfect. I ordered it after I purchased the black one in the store. I absolutely love it and get. Implements on it all the time! It looks expensive. Best of all, it is priced far below comparable cheap end table.Was this comment useful to you? YesNo

I was reminded for some strange reason of Louis Icart..yet there really is no resemblance in genre except perhaps the period?
I wonder if the perfume I favor was created in her name..Replies
Lolita Lempicka represents the name chosen by the French designer Josiane Maryse Pividal. The source of inspiration for the name was the classic novel by Vladimir Nabokov, "Lolita" and the Polish Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka.Delete

Carol, Tamara de Lempicka (please correct spelling) is one of my favorite artists! You are so lucky to see this exhibit. Thank you so much for letting us know about it.
Have you heard about the novel THE LAST NUDE by Ellis Avery? this is from Amazon:
A stunning story of love, sexual obsession, treachery, and tragedy, about an artist and her most famous muse in Paris between the world wars.
Paris, 1927. In the heady years before the crash, financiers drape their mistresses in Chanel, while expatriates flock to the avant-garde bookshop Shakespeare and Company. One day in July, a young American named Rafaela Fano gets into the car of a coolly dazzling stranger, the Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka.
Struggling to halt a downward slide toward prostitution, Rafaela agrees to model for the artist, a dispossessed Saint Petersburg aristocrat with a murky past. The two become lovers, and Rafaela inspires Tamara's most iconic Jazz Age images, among them her most accomplished-and coveted-works of art. A season as the painter's muse teaches Rafaela some hard lessons: Tamara is a cocktail of raw hunger and glittering artifice. And all the while, their romantic idyll is threatened by history's darkening tide.
Inspired by real events in de Lempicka's history, The Last Nude is a tour de force of historical imagination. Ellis Avery gives the reader a tantalizing window into a lost Paris, an age already vanishing as the inexorable forces of history close in on two tangled lives. Spellbinding and provocative, this is a novel about genius and craft, love and desire, regret and, most of all, hope that can transcend time and circumstance.
Have a grand day,
- Anonymous1:28 AM
My friend introduced me to Paris Breakfasts. I enjoy reading your PB blog, seeing your photos of all things Parisienne, and the mouth-watering, gorgeous patisseries, and admire your watercolors---every day. I especially like the museums and art exhibits that you feature, often introducing us to those that are unusual, off-beat and less well known. I add them to my list of things I want to do, hoping for a "next" visit to Paris.ReplyDelete
I congratulate your proposal for a PB weekend edition, and vote OUI, OUI, encore OUI--if you have the energy to produce an extra day of Paris Breakfasts. Bon Chance!
Merci beaucoup and Best Wishes,
Looks wonderful Carol...ReplyDelete
You must be loving being in Paris... Have a great weekend... and yes, there can never be too much Paris Breakfast... :)

Iowa State high on QB Sam Richardson
Nearly all the so-called surprise teams in the Big 12 in recent
years were led by big-time quarterbacks who put their programs over
the top.
Can Iowa State sophomore Sam Richardson be the next unknown to
emerge as a star?
The Cyclones believe so – even though he's only thrown 79 career
Iowa State thinks they've finally found a dual-threat playmaker
in Richardson, a sophomore who will get his third career start on
Saturday against Northern Iowa.
Of course, no one is ready to declare Richardson a
program-changing talent along the lines of Robert Griffin III or
Kansas State's Collin Klein just yet. But the Cyclones can't stop
raving about their promising quarterback.
"The best quality that Sam is that he's always composed, he
knows what's going on and he's aware," Iowa State senior running
back Jeff Woody said. "He's got a good arm, and (the) dude can
run. But the best thing Sam has got is between his ears, and that's
something that instills confidence in the team because we know
exactly what's going on."
Richardson's resume is limited to a three-game stretch that was
both brilliant and inconclusive.
But that brief look at the end of 2012 was enough to convince
coach Paul Rhoads and his staff that Richardson could be something
Richardson was buried on the depth chart nearly all season as
the third-stringer. He only got a shot in mid-November because the
coaching staff had become completely exasperated with co-starters
Jared Barnett and Steele Jantz.
Richardson was put in during the third series against Kansas
with bowl eligibility on the line. Richardson was a revelation,
throwing for 250 yards and four touchdowns on 23 of 27 passing –
albeit against one of the nation's worst defenses – in a 51-23
Richardson wasn't nearly so spectacular in losses to West
Virginia and Tulsa to close out the season. But Iowa State's loss
to the Mountaineers came on a day when extremely gusty wind made
any type of pass a risk, and Richardson succumbed to the flu after
completing six of his first seven passes in a 31-17 Liberty Bowl
loss to the Golden Hurricane.
Richardson threw for eight TDs against just one pick and also
ran for 233 yards, averaging a healthy 5.7 yards per carry.
`He was too scared to worry about anything other than the snap
count. He's come a long ways, I'll just say it that way. And the
biggest area of improvement, I think, is his leadership and his
grasp and his understanding of what we're doing," Rhoads said.
Richardson's hold on the starting job was further solidified
when Barnett transferred to Illinois State. He's now had a spring
and fall camp working with the rest of the starters after watching
Jantz and Barnett split those opportunities for two years.
Though Richardson is a rather soft-spoken underclassman, he said
he's embraced the leadership role that every quarterback has to
"I've always been taught growing up to lead by example at
first. And then, when you're leading, people kind of take that
along with your words," Richardson said. "Being more vocal has
just come naturally."
Rhoads, now in his fifth season, said earlier this month that
the Cyclones feel as good about the quarterback position as they
ever have heading into the season.
That's all because of Richardson, who has won over his teammates
and coaches with his calm demeanor and ability to make plays.
"He's relaxed, he's poised out there, and a quarterback needs
to be that type of guy. If you're going to throw accurate passes,
if you're going to throw things on time, you're going to do it in
that state. You're not going to do that tense," Rhoads said.

Animal Species:Common Silverbiddy, Gerres subfasciatus (Cuvier, 1830)
The Common Silverbiddy has a silver coloured body and highly protrusible jaws. The species occurs in estuaries and on coastal reefs in tropical and warm temperate areas of Australia.
Standard Common Name
Common Silverbiddy
Alternative Name/s
Common Silver Belly, Common Silverbelly, Ovate Silverbiddy, Roach, Silver Biddy, Silver-belly, Silverbelly, Silverbiddy, Southern Silverbiddy
The Common Silverbiddy has a silver coloured body and highly protrusible jaws. The dorsal fin is long based. Its anterior spines are black-tipped and are longer than those in the rest of the fin.
Like all fishes in the family Gerreidae, the jaws are highly protrusible. Both jaws can protrude out and down forming a tube. This adaptation to the mouth is used when the fish feeds on bottom-dwelling invertebrates.
Another species of Silver Biddy occurs in southern Australian waters - the Silverbelly Parequula melbournensis. This species is distinguishable from the Common Silverbiddy by its long-based anal fin and by the dorsal fin which is not elevated anteriorly.
Size range
The Common Silverbiddy grows to 20 cm in length.
Similar Species
Silverbelly (see Identification, above)
The species occurs from south-western Western Australia, around the tropical north of the country, and south on the east coast to southern New South Wales.
The map below shows the Australian distribution of the species based on public sightings and specimens in Australian Museums. Source: Atlas of Living Australia.
Distribution by collection data

STOCKTON - It begins with a salute. Masks go on, and feet move into position.
STOCKTON - It begins with a salute. Masks go on, and feet move into position.
Then, "En garde! Ready! Fence!"
Four days a week, Zoran and Maja Djurisic train fencing students - children and adults - at the Arnold Rue Community Center in Stockton.
"Fencing has this romance and this gentlemanly behavior, and it's still a combat," Zoran Djurisic said. "It's a one-on-one encounter. There is no room for mistakes."
Djurisic and his wife are originally from Serbia. He began fencing as a graduate student at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
The couple began teaching fencing in Stockton in 2010, though Zoran Djurisic kept his day job as a research scientist.
Eventually, as classes became more popular, they made the decision to teach fencing full time.
"For us, this has been an incredible journey," he said. "Having enough clients gave us enough money so we can sustain this as a business."
Though fencing is a relatively small sport, the Delta Fencing Center attracts students from all over the Central Valley.
At 7 years old, Ethan Hernandez is the center's youngest student. His father, who fenced at Delta College, introduced him to the sport.
"It's kind of neat to see him develop and go through it, and get a lot faster now," Sal Hernandez said. "He'll catch me a couple times."
The parry, a blocking maneuver, is one of Ethan's most common moves against opponents.
"I just estimate what they're going to do," he said.
Classes cost $135 per month for twice-weekly sessions or $90 for once weekly. Fencers wear protective gear to cover the legs, chest and face. The first person to score a predetermined number of touches with the blade against an opponent wins the bout.
For Ancel Camacho, a 10-year-old who has brought back medals from major fencing competitions, the appeal is obvious.
"I like it because it's steel blades; what's not to like?" he said.
"We don't have children of our own," Djurisic said. "But teaching kids to fence, and seeing them develop ... this is amazing."

Trump denies asking Comey to back off Flynn investigation
President Donald Trump denies asking former FBI Director James to close an investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's ties to Russia.
"No. No. Next question," Trump told Sinclair Broadcast Group national correspondent Scott Thuman.
Trump was responding to a point-blank question stemming from a bombshell New York Times report that cited unnamed sources who said Comey wrote in a memo the president asked if the bureau could "let go" of its investigation into connections between Flynn and possible Russian influences on the 2016 presidential election.
"There is no collusion" between his campaign and Russia, the president added. "Even my enemies say there was no collusion."
Pressed on if any of his actions over the last six months warranted further investigation or talks of impeachment, the president said, "I think it's totally ridiculous. Everybody thinks so."
Trump also criticized the appointment of a special prosecutor to oversee one of the several ongoing investigations into the administration.
"I respect the move but the entire thing has been a witch hunt. I think it divides the country," Trump said. "I think we have a very divided country because of that and many other things."
Comey associates this week revealed the existence of a memo Comey wrote after his Feb. 14 meeting with Trump in which he says the president asked him to shut down the FBI investigation into ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Trump sent Comey a letter last week abruptly firing him.
The Associated Press also contributed to this report.

Guitar Magazine Hiwatt Hi-Gain 50 Review
The classic Hiwatt Hi-Gain combo has been reviewed in the February issue of Guitar Magazine. Pete Townshend and David Gilmour fans, pay attention...
The Hi-Gain 50 Combo features Reverb, Mute, FX loop and speaker emulation. The clean channel is the exact circuitry that is used in HiWatts Custom Range Amps. But now you have Accutronics reverb, fx in out loop, amplifier mute so that you can use the pre-amp on its own through the specially designed speaker emulation circuitry. Push pull bright normal switch just like the channels on their original range.
According to Guitar Magazine, this amps gives you instant David Gilmour tones, if you plug a maple neck strat like he used in Pink Floyd. But that's not all: "the tone isn't just loud; it's huge, with massive but tightly controlled bass, and chiming clarity through the midrange. It's clean but not truly clean - all the valve-induced harmonic enhancement going on creates a larger than life quality."
The magazine's final verdict was a very positive one:
"Its personality packed tone provides two important insights. Firstly, you'll realise why Pete Townshend used Hiwatts for so long. Secondly, you'll understand why his hearing isn't tip top...good for valve-y clean and dirty sounds with real character."

Fiscal 2002 spelled trouble for Hong Kong-based casual fashion retailer Bossini. Revenue shrunk to half of a key competitor's sales and net profit margins were thinning. Lead-time from placing an order at the factories to receiving goods in warehouses stretched beyond 100 days.
Most executives would take the standard approach: Plug logistical gaps. Outsource. Inject electronic data integration (EDI) into the supply chain. But Philip Fung, head of IT, human resources and logistics at Bossini, saw slackness in the supply chain as a symptom of a deeper problem.
A new culture
Fung zeroed in on corporate culture following directives from company chairman Henry Law, who is a firm believer in Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People".
"We ought to have a new paradigm, a culture based on transparency and trust," says Fung. At the centre of Fung's plan, which he successfully pitched to the company's board of directors, is a process to mine a valuable resource, the knowledge tucked away in the heads of employees.
The concept, broadly known as knowledge management (KM), claims to unlock the profit potential of organisations.
Fung, who is completing his doctoral thesis on knowledge management and information security at Australia's Macquarie University, says that, before knowledge can be extracted, people must stop keeping secrets.
Rightly so, but building an environment of trust—where people talk freely about problems, best practices, sales and customer feedback—is easier said than done.
A unique approach to KM
That was why he opted for a culture-change campaign instead of technology at the onset of his KM project. His decision wasn't driven by a limited IT budget, but a desire to unearth and transform the processes that drive what people do. The success of the KM venture rested on making the invisible visible.
"A lot of companies start with buying million-dollar technologies such as document-sharing systems. Excitement soon fizzles out, content updating happens only once in a while and the whole project fails," he says.
When Fung talks about KM, he doesn't use the term in a textbook fashion. His idea of KM includes capturing customer profiles and sharing data with supply-chain partners: "I'm KM-enabling the human resources, IT, CRM [customer relationship management] and SCM [supply chain management] functions."
Fung makes good sense. For instance, successful marketing requires intelligence about the competition and the customer. Lack of knowledge exchange also contributes to IT project failures.
To kick off the project, he selected eight individuals from the human resources, finance, IT, marketing and retail departments to form a cross-functional KM team. The team underwent a KM diploma course provided by the Hong Kong Productivity Council to learn how to deal with customer data, people competence and transfer expertise.
Applying a KM principle to leveraging connections and networks, Bossini won vendors' and consultants' help in arranging visits to big KM sites around the world to study best practices. Bossini executives visited the operations of giant clothing retailer Gap in the US, Hyundai Department Store in Korea and Uniqlo, a retailer in Japan.
"It's important to have a benchmark," explains Andrew Ling, Bossini's regional IT manager, who has himself gained a company-sponsored KM diploma.
Learning from mistakes
Specifically, Ling was interested in the selection criteria for technology and implementation partners, how to conduct change management in the company, and the success factors for project implementation.
In another sign of Bossini's commitment to knowledge management, Fung hired an MBA graduate to champion the use of KM culture in all of the company's projects.
Fung set the company a series of three-year objectives aimed at helping close the revenue and profit margin gap with its key competitor.
These goals included reducing operating costs as a result of shutting down nonperforming stores, stepping up supply-chain efficiency and improving customer satisfaction.
Bossini also created the After Action Review (AAR), a process for quizzing people on their plans, finding out why mistakes occurred, and implementing lessons learned.
Retail managers meet weekly with shop staff to identify fast-moving goods and analyse customer feedback on new products. Personnel from all departments meet monthly to compare sales with projections, plan product replenishment and develop marketing strategies.
"AAR is widely conducted, from the boardroom to the shops," says Fung. "The discipline empowers people with timely information necessary for business plans to be effective."
For instance, with up-to-date knowledge of customer preferences, retail staff can display popular merchandise more prominently. If a particular style is slow-moving, the purchasing department can immediately halt orders and cut potential losses from excess inventory.
Conversely, the stores' hot-selling items can be replenished quickly.
To assess performance, Bossini relies on metrics such as sell-through rate, number of customer complaints and staff turnover. Key performance indicators are presented in colourful charts so that problems can be identified at a glance. Such data is shared over the company's intranet.
Typically, KM's direct benefits are hard to measure. How do you calculate the value in training an employee? However, good management principles can contribute to tangible business results. As Fung notes: "Overall, business benefits have been impressive."
Besides improving its planning, budget formulation and control processes, the firm has reduced monthly operating costs in Hong Kong by 10 per cent this year as a result of closing nonperforming stores. The company has increased store productivity and sales in Hong Kong by 30 per cent since May 2003.
Building new processes
Bossini has 300 fully owned retail outlets in Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Taiwan. The fashion chain also distributes its products through authorised dealers and joint-venture partners in the four Asian markets. Its competitors include garment retailers Giordano, U2, Baleno and Hang Ten.
Now that proper management policies are in full swing, Fung is ready to talk technology. He has been working with SCM specialist i2 Technologies to develop a prototype to help Bossini plan production and distribution.
Fung's vision is to have everyone along the supply chain, from retail staff to manufacturers and suppliers, coordinating orders in real-time so that popular items do not run out and slow-selling items are not overstocked.
"We need to share information and knowledge and build new business processes together," he notes. Fung also plans to buy a digital content management system for archiving and cataloguing project and business data.
His rationale for delaying a central repository project: "About 80 per cent of knowledge is tacit—people know more than they can tell. Given the fast-changing business environment, I thought it would be better to create a KM culture first so that people could have a proper reporting structure."
He could well be right. After all, IT is by no means a cure-all.

No Carrier Classic on the USS Yorktown this year after last year's problems
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. – There will be no second act for South Carolina's Carrier Classic basketball games on the USS Yorktown in Charleston Harbor.
The executive director of the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum said Wednesday there will be no attempt to stage basketball games on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier in November.
A doubleheader was scheduled last November, but after the women's game last year between Notre Dame and Ohio State, moisture on the playing surface prompted the cancellation of the men's game between Ohio State and Marquette.
Museum director Mac Burdette says if a major television network offers to pick up most of the tab, he's willing to try again. But Burdette says the risks of trying to stage the doubleheader exceeded the potential reward for the museum.

Russia Moves Closer to Absorbing Crimea, Despite Sanctions
Putin Orders Approval of Draft Agreement on Annexation of Crimea
Russian President Vladimir Putin brushed off an initial round of Western sanctions over the Ukraine crisis and defied warnings of stiffer punishment to come by taking another step toward annexing Crimea.
The Obama administration Monday enacted what it called the most comprehensive sanctions to hit Russia since the end of the Cold War. It targeted 11 Russian and Ukrainian officials, including some of Mr. Putin's top advisers and the ousted former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, a close Kremlin ally....

Chikuno - Air Freshener Cube by Chikuno Life

When you open the fridge, does it emit a subtle yet undeniable smell that the little Arm&Hammer box just can't kill? How about your car, do you have one of those trees dangling from the mirror? Last question, how about your living room, are you hiding one of those air freshners somewhere behing a shelf or your sofa or under the table?
Good news: A) You don't have to answer. B) You can now get rid of all of those! Why, well, because of the little 5 cm cube that we have here. How? Read on:
Maybe you know, maybe you don't, Bamboo charcoal has a high capacity of absorbing odors and this little guy is made out of Bamboo charcoal and clay minerals. But it's the structure of the cube that makes it so spezial, the micro honeycomb structure basically turns its surface area to approximately the size of four football fields. Try fitting that size tree into your car... But seriously, this is completely chemical free, lasts for a very very long time, it's cleaned once every 6 months by exposing it to direct sunlight for a day – no kidding, and simply does and awesome job. Whether it's in the car, in the fridge, any closet, it works wonders, it really does!
Now here's what it won't do: it won't give off a scent, so if you are looking for that whiff of freshness, get a good Diptyque candle and have that take care of the scent part, other than that, this will do the rest! Oh, and, it works in small spaces, if you put one cube into your 3000sqft loft, it won't do much. But wonders in your car, closet, fridge, but we said that already, right?
Now get yourself a new pair of shoes with all the money you save on air fresheners…

Matt's coworker requested an essay regarding our love story & this is what he wrote…
We started to send messages back and forth on Match and then we lost touch. Well, I just kind of didn't call her after we agreed that I would take her around Baltimore because she is not from around here. Now you're probably thinking, wait, what is she doing here, and why didn't you respond? To answer your questions, Mandy is from Georgia and is finishing up her pre-doctoral internship at Towson, where she is studying to be a doctor of psychology, yes a shrink. And the second answer is that there were a multitude of things going on over the summer, and I wasn't too keen on the girls I met through online dating.So fast forward about a month to the beginning of October, and I decided that I would go home to help my dad on the farm, and asked Mandy if she'd like to come visit the farm. (Side note, Mandy grew up on a chicken farm in Georgia, so that's another weird coincidence, but that sort of plays into the weekend I brought her home). I wanted to take Mandy on a four-wheeler ride up on the ridge behind my house to show her my woods, and just get away from my family for a bit to have some time to ourselves. It was that day that I knew that I never wanted her to leave my side, and on said four-wheeler ride I told her how much I cared for her, and was deeply in-love with her. She said the exact same thing and we haven't been apart since that day, literally, we've spent every day together and it hasn't gotten old, only better and better every day. I wake up next to her every day knowing that I've made the right choice, and wouldn't want to go through life without her, knowing that what we have, most people spend an eternity looking for. I absolutely love and adore her, no questions asked. She is my Belle, and I am her Bear (she's my southernbelle and I'm her bear because of my rather extraordinarily fury forearms that she loves) and that will be like that forever.
Trying to think of some place romantic and thoughtful to propose, I knew exactly where to take Mandy. I took her back to my parents farm and up on the ridge where we first said "I love you. I got down on one knee, told her that I knew that the first time we came up to that spot, I never wanted her to leave my side, and asked her to marry me. She said yes, and my parents had some champaign chilled at the house for us when we got back. The rest is history, or history to come, I should say.
I love her dearly, and could not imagine having anyone else with me, ever. We're going to have a small wedding down at the Outer Banks for 30 people June: family and very close friends only, it's what we've both wanted as far as weddings go, and it's worked out rather nicely so far.

After we hit 35 wrinkles start to show. Our lifestyle, genes, toxins and sun exposure determine how fast our skin ages. Thankfully, there is an affordable and effective way to combat skin aging. All you need to remain wrinkle free is follow the Ten Commandments for younger looking skin:
- Thou shalt moisturize
- Thou shalt use sunscreen
- Thou shalt use BHA
- Thou shalt use AHA
- Thou shalt drink 8 glasses of water every day
- Thou shalt invest in good anti-wrinkle cream
- Thou shalt use home microdermabrasion
- Thou shalt use mild skin cleaners
- Thou shalt use skin support supplement
- Thou shalt use skin renewing serum
We loose water every time we sweat, respire and urinate. Moisturizing the skin replenishes the lost water, keeps skin fresh and prevents wrinkles. It is one of the easiest ways to combat skin aging. Pick moisturizers made from natural ingredients, essential herbs, medicinal agents and unrefined plant essences. Applied daily, moisturizer prevents wrinkles, hydrates and protects skin cells, restores cellular balance and promotes cellular regeneration for a wrinkle free skin.
Sun damage causes premature skin aging. A simple way to prevent sun damage is using good sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Your best bet is to go with sunscreen made with avobenzone, titanium dioxide, or zinc oxide. Or choose from variety of creams, foundations, powders and other skin care products that offer sun protection and make you look good. Good sunscreen goes a long way toward preventing premature wrinkles.
As our skin suffers sun damage, it accumulates a layer of dead cells that appear as thickened, discolored, rough, uneven and wrinkled skin. Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA)/beta hydroxy acid (BHA) products gently exfoliate damaged skin, unblock and minimize pores, clear up skin discoloration, balance patchy skin, gently remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin reducing wrinkles.
Toxins we come in contact with every day accumulate in our body causing premature skin aging. The easiest way to eliminate toxins is by drinking enough water. Adult person needs 8 glasses of good clean water every day. Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water to flush out toxins that age your skin and keep your skin well hydrated, toned and wrinkle free.
As we age, our skin produces less collagen and our skin sags and becomes wrinkled. Anti-wrinkle creams stimulate collagen production so we remain wrinkle free, longer. What you want to do is pick anti-wrinkle cream packed with anti-oxidants and active ingredients proven to reduce wrinkles. They can be expansive but the benefits well worth it.
Gentle skin peel now and then is one of the best ways to reduce wrinkles. Home peels provide a gentle, affordable and effective alternative to clinical peels so you really want to make a home microdermabrasion a part of your monthly skin routine. Home microdermabrasion gently removes the top skin layers, stimulates cell growth and leaves you looking smoother, younger, and wrinkle free. Your best bet is pH balanced home microdermabrasion product that does not contain sodium lauryl or sodium laureth sulfate, parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic dyes, fragrances or animal ingredients.
Buildup of dead cells, dirt and debris on the skin causes skin to become dull, tired and wrinkled. A great way to remove the buildup is cleaning skin with a mild skin cleaner. What you want to do is pick a cleanser with pH of 3 or 4, formulated specifically for wrinkled skin. Cleansers with balanced pH gently clean the skin and natural botanicals stimulate nutrient exchange leaving it wrinkle free.
With time skin's nutritional needs change. This is why it is important to get the right nutritional support. The best way to do that is using targeted aging skin support supplements. By getting specific nutrients cell turnover increases and skin stays younger looking, longer.
Taking a little time to take care of your skin goes a long way. Invest time and effort and you will be rewarded with younger looking, wrinkle free skin.

Frankly, I'm excited about the Jedi vs. Sith set.It features Asaj (who I don't have) and I always fall for the removable armor gimmick.The downside is the sculpt on Ani....it's pretty ******.
That is a cool idea. I think many of us thought how cool that would be for the longest time. It's just to bad that they are all rehashes. I think many would have liked to have seen a new Zuckuss and 4-LOM. Rebelscum (through another site) had just recently mentioned rumors of other battle packs as well. 1) Hoth Themed - Veers, Probot, and 3 snowtroopers. 2) Jedi Tempe Raid - Anakin (#2), Clone Pilot, and 3 of the blue Clonetroopers. Why they would put a Clone Pilot in that set is beyond me? They did say it was just a rumor though. So, who knows? Find out at the SDCC I suppose.

What do Jim Carrey, Jenny McCarthy, Dixie Carter, and I Have in Common?
We are all in the April 26th issue of People Magazine!!
People contacted me last week to see if they could use a photo of my pickle and ice cream cupcakes (umm… YES!); lots of jumping up and down and calling everyone I knew ensued. I wanted to post here immediately, but I figured that I should wait until the issue actually hit newsstands (just to make sure that I wasn't dreaming).
I took about ten trips to our local grocery store, Schnucks (yeah, I know, it's a funny name), looking for the issue. Finally, I went to customer service and asked when the new issue would arrive. I told them I was in it and the General Manager promised to call my cellphone when the new magazines were delivered. Hours later, I got the call, rushed to the store, bought two copies (I may buy another copy every time I go to the store this week), turned to page 106, and there it was:
YAY! Thanks to all of my readers for getting me to the point where People would notice me, and thanks to any new readers coming over from People. People fans: I hope you take a minute to check out the blog and let me know if I can help answer any of your cupcake questions.
