If you just want to see the new site, go to mikepan.com
It's been more than 5 years since my portfolio's last redesign, which looked like this:
Okay, I still like the old design, but there are quite few things that desperately need improvement:
With all that in mind, the new sites has the following improvements:
Not only does each project have its own page, all the images are at least 1920x1080. This ensures everything looks great on a retina screen.
The background is now a dim black, further putting the content forward.
Using CSS3, I was able to make the site pretty responsive. Google Chrome's device emulation feature is a godsend for testing how the site will look on different devices.
Semantic HTML, CSS3 goodies, it's all there.
My previous host wasn't the most reliable nor easiest to use, so I decided to go with something far more established, and free. Github. They can host any static content, and updating the site is as easy as a git push.
Remember when a pixel is just that, a pixel? Now a design has to target everything from 72 DPI computer screens to a 300 DPI smartphones. Combine that with the idea of viewport, varying aspect ratio, it makes for some pretty interesting layout challenges.
This wasn't too much of a problem for me, but I had to make sure all the images I uploaded are encoded in the proper colorspace (sRGB).
Use css reset, shivs, boilerplates. Because these things are made by people far smarter than you. It will save you time and give you back precious sleep.
Sadly, this hasn't really changed much from 5 years ago. Desktop browsers are getting really good, but mobile browsers has their own performance issues and limitations.

Provides delicious barbeque and 'The best Philly cheesesteak in town'
By Chris Fish
MELBOURNE -- Crossing the railroad tracks into a back neighborhood, nestled neatly on the side of the industrialized area of Eau Gallie Boulevard, a small sign with a an arrow pointing to the north reads, "Hog Wild Bar B-Q & Grill."
"It's about the only advertising we have at the moment," said Debbie Davis, co-owner of Hog Wild Bar B-Q & Grill alongside her husband and cook, Pete. "We sometimes have a person stand out on the road with a sign. We used to say 'We are hard to find but worth the time.'"
Located at 1547 Maple Avenue, Hog Wild Bar B-Q & Grill is perhaps the best kept secret in not only Brevard County, but the entire state of Florida.
What began as a catering business, known as Good Taste Caterers, has evolved into a homecooked eatery that serves a variety of southern delicacies, as well as American favorites.
Pete Davis opened the business in 2007, inside the catering facility he already owned, after receiving rave reviews for his barbecue from customers of his catering business.
"We have to have good food, because I think we wouldn't have any business without it," Mr. Davis said in regard to the eatery's small warehouse location. "They wouldn't come here without it. We get by with a little bit of advertisement. It's tough, but the restaurant does well."
The quaint building gives those who are looking for an escape from generic, chain restaurants or larger, chaotic eateries the chance to enjoy great food in a comforting atmosphere.
For barbecue lovers, Hog Wild offers pulled meats, slowly cooked with a state-of-the-art cooker, and a variety of homemade sauces, ranging from a Carolina Vinegar base to a delicious mustard flavored condiment.
Along with delicately prepared barbecue, Hog Wild offers ribs, grilled chicken, wings, hamburgers and, what the restaurant rightfully calls, the best Philly cheesesteaks in town.
Hog Wild Bar B-Q & Grill also offers free delivery, as well as catering.
Hog Wild Bar B-Q & Grill is located at 1547 Maple Ave., in Melbourne and is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

- Funding Received
- $17.9 Million in 3 Rounds from 3 Investors
- Most Recent Funding
- $7.5 Million Series C on January 7, 2009
- Headquarters:
- Venice, CA
- Description:

Company DetailsUpdate
JibJab is a digital entertainment studio that creates, produces and distributes things that make people laugh.
In 1999, brothers Evan and Gregg Spiridellis saw an opportunity to create a new entertainment brand based on two emerging trends. First, off the shelf software was leveling the playing field for creators. Meaning the tools needed to produce high quality productions were no longer the exclusive domain of megamedia conglomerates that could afford mega-million budgets. Second, the Internet offered independent creators the ability to bypass traditional media gatekeepers and build a direct relationship with their audiences. The brothers dreamed of creating a globally recognized entertainment brand because they did not have the media industry experience to realize what an insane goal that was.
It took Evan and Gregg almost 5 years of toiling away before they experienced major success. On July 9, 2004 they launched This Land, an animated political satire and, overnight, JibJab became the global brand they dreamed of creating.
Current products include Starring You!, a personalized entertainment product that allows people to put themselves, family and friends into fun videos and images, eCards for special occasions, and Original pop culture and political satire animated videos.
The Starring You! product launched in August of 2007 and since then, people have uploaded over 150 million heads to the Starring You! platform and viewed personalized videos and images over 400 million times.
JibJab is Member supported. While there is a large selection of free content, the vast majority of eCards and Starring You! videos are reserved exclusively for paid Members. Membership is $12 per year. In addition to Memberships, they also sell digital downloads of Starring You! videos for people who want to be able to put them on their iPhone, upload them YouTube, etc., and personalized hard goods like mugs and mouse pads that feature Starring You! images that users create.
JibJab's high profile personalized entertainment partners include Lucas Films (promoting the 30th Anniversary of Empire Strikes Back), OfficeMax (ElfYourself) and Disney (High School Musical 3).

Acrylic horror story
I am submitting myself unfortunately.
My blowout and swollen lobe is the result of wearing acrylic plugs for three days in a row. I used to think I knew alot about stretching until the day this happened. My ears had been quite itchy but I ignored it. One night I decided to remove my plugs and massage my lobes with e-oil, once I was finished I realized that my lobes were angry, red, itchy,swollen and hard to the touch and I didn't understand why. I kept the plugs out for two days and my ears shrunk from a 1/2 to a 4g. I was so depressed. I did my research and found that acrylic plugs are actual toxic and release cancer causing toxins into your body. Yikes! I babied my ears for months with sea salt soaks and multiple E-oil massages to flatten the blowout (which was mostly swelling in the beginning) My blowouts are gone now and I am slowly going back up to my new goal 9/16ths! Now as a result of this Ive been warning others about acrylic when I can and I am way more aware of the materials that I put in my ears and which plugs are meant for extended wear and which aren't.
Blowouts do not magically happen with the wearing of a certain pair of plugs. They are the result of improper stretching over a long period of time. -Kat

Oil prices rebounded, snapping out of a long losing streak tied to easing concerns about potential Middle East supply disruptions.
NEW YORK: Oil prices rebounded on Thursday, snapping out of a long losing streak tied to easing concerns about potential Middle East supply disruptions.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for August rose 64 cents to close at $102.93 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, ending nine straight sessions of losses.
Brent North Sea for delivery in August broke off an eight-day losing streak, adding 39 cents to settle at $108.67 a barrel in London trade.
"The petroleum markets are showing some signs of stabilizing after the persistent decline over the past two weeks, suggesting that the return of Libyan oil production and exports to the market has been largely priced in," said Tim Evans of Citi Futures.
Evans said that an OPEC monthly oil report showing the cartel's production declined 79,000 barrels per day in June as Iraqi output fell amid a deadly Islamic militant offensive may have also helped ease the market's jitters.
WTI opened in negative territory and looked set for a 10th straight loss, but managed later in the session to catch a "wave of buying that came on all the markets," said John Kilduff of Again Capital.
Kilduff said the rebound above all was a technical correction after the sharp price fall.
Weighing on prices earlier in the day was Chinese trade data showing crude-oil imports in the world's largest energy consumer fell almost eight percent in June from May, Commerzbank said.
Imports of 5.67 million barrels a day last month "was also the second-lowest monthly import volume of the year," the German bank said in a research note.

Comments about Pro Stage Gear PT-2-SC Pedaltrain 2 with Soft Case:
I got this thinking it would be a temporary board till i got another one. Then i fell in love. It was half the weight of all of the other boards i was looking at and it came with carry bag. it even came with the velcro to attach my pedals with. Then after applying my pedals noticed i could even attach my voodoo labs power supply to it. yes the board came with a bracket to attach the power supply to the bottom out of the way and out of sight. the spaces on top made it easy to wire the pedals together and supply power. Even with all my pedals and the power supply it was still lighter than the other boards. even though its light being made of the metal it is it can take a beating.

I had no idea you liked that!
- cassoulady Mar 3, 2009 05:31 PM
So, I am at my SO's mothers house and I was in the pantry and found a wide array of fruity jello and instant pudding. When I spoke with him later that day I asked who was the jello and pudding fan, he said "orange jello and chocolate pudding are two of my favorite desserts!"
Not once over the years has this been mentioned. As I was making chocolate mousse all this time, he never said, "Just wisk skim milk with the powder and call it a day." And as I have been obsessing over making aspic, he never said, "gee I like fruit jello, perhaps I would like meat jello"
Do you have favorite dishes that you have never mentioned to your partner or have you discovered a favorite dish after a long time, as I did?
This is happening every other week now with my little sister. She was a very picky eater as a child, and being extremely stubborn, she held onto it for years and years, mostly to maintain her reputation and not have to admit something she spurned all this time was actually good, like we were telling her all along. Then she went off to college and decided that the food was worth some minor dings to her pride. Now all of a sudden she likes things like curry and shrimp and falafel and root beer, and discovers new delicious things all the time. We make cracks about her new adventurousness, but she knows we're happy about it. The only downside is that there's less left for the rest of us!
I asked my SO a few years into the relationship if there was something he wished I had making for him. Yes, it was spinach ravioli. Not very exciting but certainly tasty. I thought it was odd that he hadn't mentioned that he really liked that until I asked. It's not like we had never eaten pasta.
Sort of similar . . . my boyfriend would always say things like "I like sweets, I just don't eat them that much," which I always took to mean he didn't really like sweets, because as someone with a bonafide sweet tooth it is not a realistic option to just "not eat them that much." But recently his love of sweets appears to have been reawakened (I think because he started working with some girls who keep cookies around the station all the time) and he can't get enough, and it is GREAT to not have to feel like the dessert pig all the time. Plus I think its actually healthier for me because now instead of having a dessert of my own, HE gets the dessert and I can just nibble off his so I end up eating less of it.
Sort of the reverse here.
I'm in my mid 40's and I just discovered that my Jewish mother does not like lox.
First off... Really?! How could you not!
And secondly... How did I miss knowing that for the past 44 years!
My world has been turned upside down.
re: Jennalynn
LOL! My mom had a meltdown one Christmas Eve when I was 20, announcing that she really doesn't care for red meat and was tired of putting up with for everyone else. Our Christmas Eve dinner forever and ever was london broil, french bread, peas and potato chips (the last were a real treat for us growing up since they were only in the house for birthday parties and Christmas eve.) I never knew why, but it was set in stone and we never questioned it. I had always assumed it was her decision; she had never said anything about red meat previously.
re: Jennalynn
Sigh . . . I am a Jew who does not like lox as well. It's especially weird because I LOVE fish - prefer it to meat - and I even really like Gefilte Fish. I am trying to wean myself onto lox and can now handle small amounts on my bagels or with scrambled eggs if it is very high quality . . . but I'm just not very into it.
I've had non-Jewish friends explaining lox to people and they kind of turn to me like "well, you're the Jew, you tell them how awesome lox are" and I kind of have to grin sheepishly and admit that lox just doesn't do it for me <cue shocked expression>. I'm blonde too, so if I keep this up no one will believe I'm Jewish at all . . ..
re: Cebca
Jews and lox! Great. My take is that gravlax (and bagels, cream cheese, diced onions, and capers) is now as universal as sushi. I make and love my gravlax, as do my Hasidic and gentile and heathen and fellow Buddhist friends. I hate what Americans think of as "sushi" - so fix them our traditional versions - even making sure its halal, kosher or whatever. I have a cousin - genetically fully Japanese - who is an orthodox Jew. And I order halal on long flights to and from the middle east and the Asian countries of the ex-Soviet Union. Oye ve and salaam alam alieku!
re: Sam Fujisaka
Gravlax is not the same as Jewish smoked lox. Gravlax is Scandinavian and cured with dill, sugar, salt.
Lox is also cured but no dill and usually in a brine. And it's often cold smoked, but then it's called...
Smoked Salmon, which some use interchangeably with Lox, is obviously smoked. But cold smoked which is different than if you get some Alaskan smoked salmon, which is usually hot smoked.
Then there's Nova Lox which is cured AND cold smoked.
re: Jennalynn
Thanks for the info. Yes, what I do, then, is gravlax and not lox. I don't think I've had gefilte fish. What's that? Down here all the salmon is farmed and from Chile.
Actually, there was a side point in my garbled comment: Americans have enjoyed making up what to me are terrible, disgusting types of "sushi". The attitude when faced by people like me is usually, "Get over it". On the other hand, no one seems to let anyone fiddle around to produce new wierd versions of Jewish food.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Gefilte fish is ground white fish usually bound with egg whites and some matzo meal... and gentle spices... it's then poached. I do love it.
And speaking as an American Jew who lived in Japan for a year. I hear ya! The idea of creamed cheese in sushi makes my skin crawl.
But you aren't exactly right about "them" not fiddling with Jewish foods. Blueberry, Jalapeno and Chocolate Chip bagels also make my skin crawl! ; )
re: Jennalynn
Gosh, I've been making a version of gefilte fish for a long time - but for southeast Asian style soups and without matzo meal.
I'm going to make you some kreplach filled with avocado and creamed cheese.
re: Sam Fujisaka
sam, fish balls? how do you make them?
i'm a quenelles de brochet fan, but have never, ever thought of eating gefilte fish -- it looks so horrid in the glass jar at the store. <i'm sure that homemade is much, much better. does anyone eat the jarred stuff? i guess so....it's sold!>
re: alkapal
Just process white fish fillets, add finely chopped green onion, garlic, and ginger, plus an egg and fish sauce. Fry, steam, or simmer.
re: Sam Fujisaka
sam, with what kind of broth do you then make a soup?
re: alkapal
Fish stock.
re: Sam Fujisaka
thanks. i guess i was thinking about other things that would go in the broth. my bad. soy? lemongrass? green onion? ginger? garlic? i guess it is whatever i like, but not to overpower the fish balls. wow, i solved my own problem just by sheer thought alone! ;-). i think i'll add some cellophane noodles and a squeeze of lime or some sriracha.
have a great day, sam!
re: alkapal
Oh, sorry. Definitely green onion, fish sauce, lime juice; you could also add tomato, pineapple, cucumber, arugula, chile, and the noodles.
re: alkapal
Well, there are several options for the glass jar, one is packaged in like this weird gel stuff (what IS that???) which I would never touch, but one is basically in liquid and that stuff is KIND OF okay, but tastes very different from fresh - in kosher delis you can often buy it in kind of like a big log, or individual serving slices of that log, and they usually put a slice of cooked carrot on the top . . . then serve it up with some red horseradish . . .mmmmmmmmmmmm
re: Jennalynn
I think I love you.
Cream cheese doesn't belong in ANY Asian food: not maki, not rumaki, not nothin'.
And messin' around with bagels is bad just plain bad karma.
re: Jennalynn
I know, it's bad enough how hard it is to get a good bagel in California, now we have to deal with "Jalapeno Cheddar" bagels and "Sun-dried tomato-basil" - its a bagel! Cinnamon Raisin and Everything should (IMVHO) be as crazy as it gets.
re: Jennalynn
ALSO, there seems to be a big trend of making things like "vegan challah." Now I love checking out vegan recipes, but vegan egg bread? Really? Thats some messing.
Imagine my utter shock when I learned that Jackp enjoyed macaroni and cheese made with...Velveeta!
To put this in perspective, please understand that for most of our marriage, few if any convenience foods have made an appearance in our kitchen. We do almost all of our cooking from scratch, even when the stuff we can buy might be superior.
It turns out that his mother had done it that way as a harried working mother and he had a sentimental affection for the flavor and texture.
I let him make that gunk once, and that was it.
re: jillp
Yeah, my boyfriend pretty much won't allow any canned food into the kitchen, not even beans (which I've now stopped making because it requires SO much more planning to make them from dry, and whenever I think ahead and pre-soak we end up deciding to go out and then they are left soaking for like a week and get all gross . . .) and whenever I sneakily make something from a can he always finds out and calls me out on it (where did these chopped tomatoes come from? when did you puree this pumpkin?) but then we went to his childhood home for Christmas and his mom made Campbell's Tomato Soup and he couldn't get enough of it . . . clearly all bets are off when it comes to childhood tastes . . ..
re: Cebca
cebca, um, make your *boyfriend* make the beans.
i mean, no canned beans??? a pantry staple!
and make *him* peel, seed and chop the tomatoes, and pumpkin, and ....[fill in the blank].
you do the cooking and he calls the (micro-managed) shots?? but he LOVES the campbell's tomato soup? GEESH! this guy is a hypocritical control freak, in my book. sorry. (truly i'm sorry; i know you are not on chowhound for my relationship advice.... please take it with a grain -- or two -- of salt. a fleur de sel that you hand-harvested from brittany's coast this past season, that is ;-).
cebca, edited to add your quote from another thread about said boyfriend:
>>> "its frustrating because ultimately he thinks, in his words, "eating is just so inefficient. I wish I could just take a pill for all my food for the day. Someday we will all just do that" <<
yet, he makes *you* jump through all the "purely-from-scratch" b.s.!!!! i foresee a future of mutual frustration....you like to cook and be creative. he likes to pick, pick, pick -- and really doesn't like food! yikes.
.....just talkin'... sister to sister!
ps, if you want to dump him, beach chick, yayadave and i have a pretty good program to take care of him. {;^D.
re: alkapal
Haha, well the reason he doesn't make the beans specifically is because he doesn't care if we eat beans or not, he would rather have meat for protein (yeah, I know they're completely different things and not mutually exclusive). It's just when I'm cooking if I served something with beans he'd be all (in a totally innocent voice) "how did you cook these beans?"
The problem is that while we both cook (oh, he definitely does his share of pumpkin puree-ing), I enjoy it more, and also am more likely to think ahead of time about a meal to make, so I end up cooking most nights, whereas he is more likely to come up with a big cooking project like once a week or so but would never think in the afternoon like hmmm, what am I going to make for dinner tonight? I, on the other hand, work at a desk and that's pretty much all I think about (but not in a "prepare it for him" kind of way - actually many nights of the week I am cooking for myself as he works 24-hour shifts).
As for the canned stuff, as a family friend pointed out, obviously I kind of think he is right or, as you suggested, I would just use the cans and screw what he thinks he can eat it or not. As for making him do the from-scratch work, I'm a huge micromanager in the kitchen, so if I'm doing the cooking no one else is touching a thing. In which case, I guess I have no right to complain :).
I do love that you compiled my various comments about the boy to create this image . . . kind of makes me feel like I have a real CH presence, although hopefully that presence extends beyond b*tching about my boyfriend!
re: Deenso
My SO *thought* she loved frozen fish sticks.
Then she got them while I was out of town, and hated them....sometimes it's just the childhood memory, not the actual taste.
: )
re: pitu
Well, that frozen fish stick dinner a la Mrs. Paul's on Friday was thoroughly nauseating, and my SO has decided that, very possibly, he "mis-remembered." I'd say that the product has changed since we were kids. The fish sticks were smaller and flatter than they were back in the 50s and 60s, so the ratio of breading to actual fish was, like, 75 to 25. They used to come in a box of 10, I think, along with a little package of relish to mix into your own mayo to make tartar sauce. The sticks were much larger, the fish was solid, not bits & pieces pressed into a log, and they actually did taste good.
Mrs. Paul's is off the list. Permanently.
re: Deenso
gorton's is better, ;-).
re: alkapal
Thanks. Will keep that in mind when my husband requests fish sticks again - maybe in 2015.
re: Deenso
the whole filets beat the fish sticks, with the same convenience. makes a darned decent quickie fish sandwich. http://www.gortons.com/product_detail...
My brother, who has no taste in food- the guy lived off pizza pops(ick!) when we were kids, went crazy over all the exotic fruit that I had put on a fruit tray at Christmas brunch. I didn't think that the guy would even touch the stuff!
Hubby used to just eat meat and potatoes. No veggies except corn. I started learning to cook and then I joined a chowhoundish couple of food boards. We started eating out more. I became adventurous, he did not. So I started making all kinds of new dishes but he refused to eat them. We went somewhere and he ordered something completely out of his element. I said something like, "So when did you start liking that?" He does it all the time. Won't try my dish at home but if the restaurant where he works makes it he will try it then I am allowed to cook it at home.
Ha!!! I had one of these moments just this morning.. Hubs, AKA Furry, was looking rather wan after our son's 17th birthday High Tea yesterday. When I asked him why, he said that he'd eaten too many Angel Cup Cakes.
I was like "C'est que le WHAT??"
Furry is a huntin' shootin' fishin' eat-dead-things-with sauce kinda guy, and after all these years, I never realised his dirty little secret is a penchant for cup cakes with jam and cream!!!
re: purple goddess
Bloody poofta!
re: Sam Fujisaka
People freak when I tell them I don't care for lamb...I mean I will try it when ever my husband orders it, but still do not care for it. Sometimes i wil even cook it for him :)

Jaguar to reveal F-TYPE Coupe at LA show
This hardtop F-TYPE, rumored to have 700 horsepower, gets a North American launch in spring 2014.
The 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE Coupe will be unveiled at the 2013 Lost Angeles Auto Show.
Hoping to expand upon the success of its new F-TYPE Convertible, Jaguar plans to introduce a coupe version of the sports car at the upcoming L.A. Auto Show and follow up with an Asian preview at the Tokyo Motor Show a day later.
Dubbed the "spiritual successor" to the legendary E-Type, the Jaguar F-TYPE has scored a long list of kudos — and strong sales — since its debut earlier this year, including honors as the World Car Design of the Year.
"We've been overwhelmed by the positive reaction to the F-TYPE Convertible, but for me the purity of creating a sports coupe is a uniquely satisfying process — and I know that both visually and dynamically, F-TYPE Coupe raises the bar yet again," said Jaguar's global design director Ian Callum.
The coupe version of the sports car will borrow liberally from the design direction of the Jaguar C-X16 concept, which has also received widespread acclaim. It will share the basic platform and mechanicals as the F-TYPE convertible, including the all-aluminum body and chassis that helped hold down the weight of the 2-seater.
Jaguar says it will release specific technical details on the F-TYPE during a presentation at a VIP customer event on the evening of November 19th, preceeding the official L.A. Auto Show media days. The Coupe will be revealed for a second time to the media the next day, both in Los Angeles and in Tokyo.
Jaguar says the new F-TYPE Coupe will reach U.S. and Canadian showrooms next spring, but has revealed little else, including price. The F-TYPE Convertible currently starts at $69,895 — though dealer tracking service TrueCar.com indicates that with supplies short, dealers are marking the car up, on average, to $71,831.
It remains to be seen whether the coupe version will maintain the three different drivetrain options currently offered with the ragtop version of the F-YPE: a base V6, a supercharged six-banger and the supercharged V8S, rated at 495 horsepower. The latter, with its 5.0-liter engine, is capable of launching from 0 to 60 in just 4.2 seconds.
There has been talk of offering even more powerful versions of the F-TYPE and the stiffer body of a coupe could prove particular adept at what is expected to be called the F-TYPE RS. Rumors that ratings of as much as 700 horsepower have been circulating among auto industry pundits.
The maker has also hinted it is working up a hybrid version. That would be in keeping with the direction of its German rival Porsche, which has been expanding its young line-up of performance-oriented hybrid models.
The F-TYPE Coupe will become the latest in a growing family of new Jaguar models launched since the maker — along with British sibling Land Rover — was acquired by India's Tata Motors from former owner Ford Motor Co. several years ago.
Must-See on MSN
I'm not sure what the Affordable Care Act has to do with this new Jag, unless somebody left the troll cage unlocked last night.
About the car....... Why would anyone need 700 hp for normal driving, racing yes, but driving on city streets, I don't think so...........
I have owned many cars some of which were extremely powerful and let me tell you 700 hp will tear the fillings out of your teeth. Unless your well trained to drive a vehicle that powerful chances are pretty good you'll end up wrapped around a tree or worse.........

Bedtime RitualsPosted November 4, 2011 by Sally. Filed under Blog.
1 Comments
when my girls were aged between 1 and 2, our favourite bedtime ritual was playing with a musical toy. The musical toy had two magenetic spinning dancers on it that you can
take off and put back. When the music plays, they spin, 'dance'. I would take
them off, and then Sofia and Isabel would correct me and showed me that these
dancers had to be on the dance floor. It's was a fun game and it took
coordination skills for them to place the magnetic dancers perfectly on the
musical toy. I still cherish the moments, lying on the floor with the girls and
listening to the music and seeing them chase the dancers which i hid or just
What they love now most is listening to COCO, a digital music player, playing
Giraffe's Can't Dance, by Giles Andreae. It's wonderful story of a Giraffe who made fun off at the annual animal dance because he looks silly when he dances.
We first all lie together and once the annual dance in the story starts, the
girls get up and perform all the dances (ChaCha, Tango, Scottish Reel, Waltz,
etc) that the animals do. We then talk about the moral of the story (of course there's a happy ending) and afterwards, they happily go to bed. It's really great. Hans, father of two girls.

I think I like the scents of Skinfood Peach Sake series. I've used natural beige shade. The texture is light and soft. The oil control is good but for coverage is not really well. But for someone like natural makeup, I think is good for you.

I have combination skin; very oily arund the chin/jaw area with dry patches on cheeks and eyelids. I bought shade 2 and it is very yellow/peach toned, however it blends well and brightens up my skin. It can be quite drying on my cheeks without a base, so I make sure to wear a light moisturiser underneath. It faded a little by the end of the day, but very evenly so this didn't bother me too much.

I love the sake smell of this cream, and I love the packaging that combines a tube and a pump. Unfortunately the BB cream made my face break out in painful lumps along my cheek and jawline. The color was also not a match, appearing dingy yellow-gray on my skin. I won't be repurchasing—unless it's released as a perfume/fragrance, in which case I'll buy two! But I still won't put it near my face.

This BB cream claim to have good oil control. I agree but I've tried other BB creams with better oil control. The coverage is light of course. Didn't break me out and feels very lightweight. It feels more like a tinted moisturizer than a BB cream. I didn't get really oily when wearing this with some kind of pressed powder. The reason why I will not be repurchasing this is because I want to try different korean BB creams and I don't find anything special about this BB cream.

I absolutely love this. I find the pump really cool. I wouldn't call this a bb cream though. It's more like a tinted moisturizer. The coverage isn't that good but it does even out redness.:) If you aren't happy with the coverage, just apply concealer under it. I have oily skin but this moisturizes my skin without giving a greasy look. It actually controls my oil a bit.<3 It also smells wonderful.^^ Check out my other reviews <3

I'm attracted to this bb cream by its scent. I purchase this tgt with the finish powder. Both this worked just so perfectly well. I've used so many diff types of oil control bb cream or foundation and none of them work for me. I have a damn freaking oily t-zone. Tbh, NONE WORKED ALRIGHT. I've tried stuff from Clinique, Garnier and many more but yea. Nothing actually controls like peach Sakae do. Okay tbh, it doesn't controls it very well but compared to other foundations / bb cream, this is like the best. So normally, i will start to get shiny half an hour after I apply makeup. After I apply peach Sakae, I start to feel the oil around 3 hours later. But once I blot it, it will only get shiny around 3 hours later or so. I will definitely repurchase it but I think I almost spoiled the pump when I used it. Probably I'm just rough.

I'm using it for a week but I didn't like it at all. I bought shade #2 natural beige, but I don't see any difference if I'm wearing any or not, it just the same. In the mid day, I found this BB cream was disappearing, waw…
- Evening my skin tone
- A lil bit creamy
- Doesn't broke me out
- Oil control was so bad, I have to used blotting paper or retouch 2 hours since first applied
- I don't like the pump, I found it very hard to control somehow

I wanted to like this bb cream, it smells so good and I love how the color is a bit more yellow toned than pink, which matches my skin better and cancels out facial redness. It looks great for the first few hours *however* it's staying power is really weak. By the 5th hour my redness returns and the makeups flaking around my dry patches. I've worn this with primer and finishing powder as well but that didn't help either. I ended up returning this, my days last longer than 5 hours and so should my makeup.

Well, this is the 1st BBC I ever hadd,
And I don't really sure if it caused break out on me, bcause at the same time I were used a doctor's treatment that contains steroid>< (were if we used a cream that contains steroid we wouldn't hv any pimples)
Before I used this BBC I only used loose powder,
Then after stopped using my doctor's treatments, I'm still using this bbc, but somehow after using this there's always came out 1-10 small pimp on my face,and it really clogged my pores,and on me it caused white castt,and the most terrible thing is that when I used this BBC my face was looks like a *flour-face*,cakey,and it doesn't covered well enough.so embarrassing.

I have extremely oily, acne prone skin. This BB cream does not control oil on me. It feels heavy on the skin, yet the coverage is very weak. I'm NC-25 and used shade 2, which worked fine. You get a small amount compared to typical BB cream (you get 1 oz. whereas many other BB creams are 1.3 oz.) I'm not a fan of the packaging that's a tube with a pump because it seems hard to pump when you're almost done with the product, and the pump head is not removable, I tried. I'm not sure if it caused break-outs on me, but it does have a couple pore-clogging ingredients such as Sodium Chloride and Stearic Acid, however they're in the middle of the list not the first 8 ingredients.

Pradaxa is a medicine licensed to reduce the risk of strokes and blood clots in people who have atrial fibrillation. This prescription medication works by preventing a certain protein in the body from forming blood clots. It comes in capsule form and is taken twice daily. Potential side effects include bleeding, abdominal (stomach) pain, and indigestion.
What Is Pradaxa?Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) is a prescription medication approved to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation, a certain type of irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
Approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2010, Pradaxa is a long-awaited "blood thinner" that is easier to dose, requires less monitoring, and is more effective, compared to warfarin (Coumadin®, Jantoven®).
(Click Pradaxa Uses for more information, including possible off-label uses.)
How Does Pradaxa Work?This medication is a direct thrombin inhibitor. It works by inhibiting the actions of thrombin, a naturally occurring protein in the body. Thrombin encourages clot formation in several different ways. By inhibiting thrombin, Pradaxa helps to prevent the formation of blood clots.
Clinical EffectsClinical studies have shown Pradaxa to be more effective than warfarin for preventing strokes and blood clots. In one study, 3.4 percent of people taking warfarin had a stroke or blood clot, while 2.2 percent of people taking Pradaxa 150 mg twice daily had a stroke or blood clot.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I go there and it is the BEST middle school there is! It is nice and clean, the teachers are great and fun, the student work hard and enjoy there time there! We also have an amazing anti bullying system, so great that Disney has reached out to is and is doing a documentary... So we are amazing! GO FALCONS!!!!
Some of the teachers at this school have been very unhelpful in my point of view. My child has told me what one of the teachers there have done in the classroom that is very disturbing, the teacher should be fired in my opinion to what they did.
From what I've see of the school I find it great. They're very focused on making us comfortable by present a modern feel as the rest of the world is instead of and industrial feel. Industrail makes me feel like all i can do is sit behind a desk but as modern makes we feel creative. A great school overall!!
Overall, this school is one of the finest throughout the state. With that said, there are some disabilities that go with it. The school has a responsibility thrust upon it of being a model school, therefore, what they are doing may not be always in the best interest of the student, but rather the best interest of publicity. But overall, a very successful learning envrionment.
This is an excellent and up and coming school. The fine arts department is the best I have ever seen. The choir teacher is hands down the best in the state and has an incredible ability to teach music.
I like this school. the only problem was that some teachers didn't put enough efort into helping the students, they were too busy trying to calm down other students.
Teachers do not take time with individual students. I have written and spoke with teachers and no help is done with student. Conferences are done by students. They are supposed to be led by students but I did not think that meant that teachers would not be involved at all. Students with learning diabilities seem to fall through the cracks along with those who are advanced students.
As a member of the PTSA executive board and of course parent of an eight grade honor student, I am extremely pleased with the teachers, administrators and the students of this fine school. My son's class will be the first graduating class next year.

Featured review from Yvonne A.

Four of us went on this cruise and we all agree that everything about this event was absolutely fantastic! The boat was classy and comfortable. The weather was clear and balmy... the holiday sights and lights from the bay and downtown were wonderful. The food was delicious and ample... plenty of vegetarian options (thank you!) everyone's favorite dish was the brie with apples.... and it was very nice touch having the servers bring the other appetizers around to us...
The only thing that could have been improved was the sound system... the music kept on starting and stopping....
Thank you to Goldstar for making this available.... We will definitely do this again next year... and we will invite more friends along... :-)

Very lovely evening. As this was focused on holidays people were dressed in more holiday attire (coctail dresses and sports coat or dress shirt and tie), otherwise I would say work casual would be fine. The appitizers were excellent as was the...continued

I liked the cruise, even though it was pretty short. Glad i bought my tickets on Goldstar instead of paying full price for this cruise, cuz i did not think it would have been worth full price.

Very good. Appetizers were good. Suggest you put out the better ones on the table

Bar with good food for 20
Hi, everyone. I want to pick your brains. On the Sunday after Labor Day, I need a bar, preferably in Manhattan, with good, not too expensive food, which can accomodate a rolling group of 20 or so. I'm going to give a figure of something like $35 as an upper limit for dinner, not including drinks, and the even trickier part of it is that this should also be a place where someone wearing a suit won't feel overdressed. Someone suggested Buddakan, but I would think that would be too expensive and also probably too much of a zoo.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for me? I may need a bar with good for for Labor Day, too, and the number of people in attendance may be fewer then.
re: eeee
I definitely second Half King. I was with a large group (~30) there, and we got a private room that comfortably seated everyone. The food is great, not too pricey, and the service was wonderful, especially for such a large group. Even though the place is casual, it's not the kind of place where someone in a suit would feel uncomfortable; there's a nice high end pub feel to it.
Choice Kitchen & Cocktails, on 3rd Av., b/t 27th & 28th Sts., opened a few months ago. I haven't tried it, but I have passed by and though it's not strictly speaking a bar, at certain hours they have a bar scene. The menu looks interesting, and I've read that the chef formerly cooked at Craft.
re: Pan
Here's the info: http://www.thehalfking.com/
The guy who's organizing the get-together seems to be leaning toward 230 5th. I've previously seen rather negative appraisals of the place here, but Zak Pelaccio is their chef, and I've heard pretty positive remarks on the quality of his food at Fatty Crab. Please give me your appraisal of 230 5th.
