Stinger Rx Review – The Bottom Line
Stinger Rx offers an all natural formula with ingredients clearly detailed. However there is no official website, and no contact information available for the manufacturer which provides serious concerns. Without a way to contact the manufacturer if needed, one may wish to purchase another product.
With countless male enhancement supplements available on the market today it seems impossible to find "the right one." Sexual performance declines naturally as men age, which may contribute to feelings of inadequacy or embarrassment. Male enhancement supplements should be based on four key factors: active ingredients, ability to support sexual stamina, enhance arousal, improved* sexual desire and backed by clinical studies.
Below you'll find some of the most effective male enhancement supplements on the market today, in our opinion.

Friday night, authorities named a person of interest in the case, the ex-husband of the victim, Melissa Bridgewater, 45.
At the time, police said they just want to question him.
Witnesses say the gunman was apparently waiting for Bridgewater outside the hotel, and when she left, he shot her.
Police say the victim was leaving the Doubletree Hotel in Oakbrook about 6 a.m. Friday, after attending a New Year's Eve party the night before. She was backing up her car when the gunman approached and fired at her head. Her family believes she knew her killer.
"I'm sure she did, and hopefully justice will be served," said Lavar Bridgewater, her son.
Bridgewater lived in Bolingbrook. She was recently divorced.
Late Friday evening, police released a photo of Jerry Hudson, 48, her ex-husband, who they describe as a person on interest. They say he had recently made threatening statements to Bridgewater. Family members say Bridgewater had just begun dating someone else and had a bright outlook for the new year.
"She had goals, and she had set goals that she was going to win in 2010. She was just going to move on with her life, and what was in her past was in her past," said Bridgewater's sister, Patricia Farrell.
"She just had that zest. The sense of her presence made you smile," said her friend, Dorothy Thomas.
Family and friends say Bridgewater never indicated she was having problems with anyone. They say she was excited about the New Year's Eve party she was attending at the hotel.
"It's very shocking. It's very sad," said neighbor Pam Eulbert.
Family members admit they have their ideas about the suspect, and they say they have shared that information with police.
"If you're out there, and you are hearing this, come forth. You can't run from this," Lavar Bridgewater said.
Bridgewater worked in the office of a suburban cardiologist. One co-worker says she was so excited about the party, she brought several dresses into work yesterday so they could help her choose what to wear.
Police are collecting whatever video they can find from the hotel and other nearby businesses, even cameras on the Tollway nearby.

Trash The Dress: Part 1
Sis T asked me yesterday to see some of my Trash The Dress pictures.
I usually forget I even took these. You see, I actually took my Trash The Dress
pictures BEFORE we even got married. There was a group of photographers that
got together and organized this event.
Trash The Dress sessions (as well as Boudoir Sessions)
were something
COMPLETELY NEW in my wedding days. If you Googled it, you would
only get maybe 3 pages of pics? So all us brides and photographers got together
to do a session
for the benefit of all. They would get portfolio pics.
We would get FREE pics! Win-win!
Personally, I was in a rush. Missed half the session because
I got lost
trying to find this dam in SoCal
somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
I didn't have my hair done. Slapped on some make-up in the car.
And here's what you get.
So I forgot about them for the most part.
Until T asked to see them.
I had about 5-6 CDs from different photographers and settings,
but wouldn't you know I can't find
most of my wedding related
photo CDs now?
... this has me cleaning like you wouldn't believe
for these two days.
So, PART 1 - these photos are from the same photographer
who did our Engagement Pics. That's how I actually got to do these pics
(because he invited me afterwards...)
More to come if I can ever find the CDs!

Monique Lhuillier: Katarina
Sis T's engagement and trek to the Monique Lhuillier Sample Sale today got me thinking about dresses and my own wedding dress. After a bit of googling for the dress my sister fell in love with, I decided to search for some images of my dress, the Katarina, as well:
The print ad photo.
The runway photo.
I was amused to find out (on Once Wed) that Ali Landry also wore
the Katarina dress in her wedding to Jose Alejandro in Mexico.
It was fun to see dress twins in a "Same Dress, Different Ways" kind of way.
A few pics I found while browsing listings for selling the dress.
This bride has an amazing figure and paired it with a coveted
jeweled belt. Love this combo!
And a couple of me in my Katarina ... oh how I still love my dress.
I love how you can see the ruffles kinda swirl in this pic...
... and see the train in full effect here.
Sometimes I think about selling my dress, but then I get sad at the thought of
not having it anymore. What about you? If you're married, have you
sold your dress or are you keeping it?

Feeling Married
I just wrote a behemoth of a comment in response to
Rhi's rhetorical question
"feeling married"
"...I completely understand where this post comes from
and I truly think it IS a confusing thing.
People don't really have good explanations for it, but always bombard you with these vague type of questions
"How does it FEEL now that you're married?".
Ask ANYONE
(mostly women)
in the FIRST year of marriage, and MOST women I know will be a bit confused. Like,
"not much has changed"
They still feel the same, if not
more love
towards their husband.
you already loved him SO much before you were married too
Personally, I had a lot of weirdness with changing my last name,
and hung on to it until probably the 1 1/2 yr mark.
Saying it was very awkward. Using it, more so.
It felt like I was giving up myself to become a wife.
But, gradually, slowly, and unconsciously, BEING a wife became natural.
Second nature.
I forgot about the
and the
and corny as it sounds, everything became a
and a thinking about us collectively and more selflessly about my husband. Not to say I didn't before, but something was different inside of me. And I think the only way that comes is over time.
You can't pinpoint a moment in which it happened. But it does.
Side note: we've been married 3 yrs now
And I notice it in my friends too.
You see a subtle change in everyone after about a year.
You can see the difference of
"married love"
. I think it's why they call it the
"honeymoon stage"
. Besides all the endorphins and adrenaline from getting married, when everything settles in a bit, that feeling comes from knowing that you have this partner that holds your heart.
And you realize that you hold his too.
From the other side, I think that many husbands feel the change much sooner after the actual marriage than the wives do. I'm convinced it has to do with the fact that men often do put themselves first and foremost when they are single, pursuing their careers and their dreams. Then, once they get married, they become less selfish and more comfortable about being responsible for someone else's well-being, support system, and emotions.
Oy vay
- just a generalization and I wrote such a book.
But it's just my very very humble opinion based on my observations."
What do YOU think if you are married?
I'd love to hear different viewpoints, opinions, and stories!

I love to visit the capital city London, but I could not imagine living there as it is so expensive, one of the most expensive cities to live in the world. But the lure, excitement, restaurants and things to do means that I adore visiting London. When I do visit London, I am mindful of the cost, I have my West Midlands prices in my head and after catching a train to London (plus purchasing coffee & nibbles) and purchasing a tube ticket the costs can quickly begin to mount up. Let's face it, you can't visit London on a minuscule budget, that would be virtually impossible, but what you can do is spend time visiting places which are free, then you can spend your money on one of the many popular and fabulous restaurants as a treat for how resourceful you have been. Although I adore food, and am food obsessed, I also enjoy culture and the outdoors too.
Here are my top 5 things to do, something for art lovers, food lovers and those that like the outdoors.
Victoria and Albert museum.
I am fascinated by history, so much I completed an ALevel in the subject. Queen Victoria and Albert were not featured on my syllabus, but in honour of their legacy, the Victoria and Albert museum (shortened V&A) was founded in 1852. If you love art, this is the museum for you, after all, it's the worlds largest museum of decorative arts, housing over 4.5 million objects and entry is FREE (although donations of £4 are welcome). There are several exhibitions over several floors and in all honestly you won't be able to do to visit the whole museum in one day, but it's worth seeing a couple of the collections. The Asia collection (including items from the Middle East, East Asia and South-East Asia, some beautiful carpets, pans and Arabic mosaics. I also loved the fashion collection, there are some wonderful pieces from the late 1880's to the present day. I loved the evolution of clothing in the UK, the fashionable trends, the changes to the silhouette on a women's body. I enjoyed the artwork, although this took some time to have a look and I did not have a good view. Other collections which look of an interest include the textiles exhibition. I recall watching a video about Victorian life which was incredibly informative.
Opening times are 10:00 - 17:45 daily and 10:00 - 22:00 on a Friday.
Camden (Lock) Market
The area of Camden is and has been for years, a hip, fashionable and cosmopolitan place to visit. Verging out of zone 1, if you want to see where Londoners actually hang out this is the place for you. Camden market primarily sells clothes which were reasonable. There was certainly a bohemian feel to the clothes that were on offer and even if you do not buy anything, there are plenty of unique clothing items to have a look. A little further up from the clothes market there is a an absolute amazing food street food quarter, Camden Lock food market where you can buy a delicious meal from every cuisine in the world. I was spoilt for choice of a range of cuisines which are more harder to come by in the West Midlands such as dishes from Peru, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia and Jamaica (ok, perhaps not the latter). On a Saturday when I visited, it does get incredibly busy and you will be very lucky to find seats, although there is seating. However, it is a bright and crispy day, why not have your delicious delights overlooking the canal.
If you fancy picking up some souvenirs, the prices are much cheaper than central London, I always stock up on fridge magenta, key rings etc.
Camden market is open 7 days a week from 10:00- 6pm
Covent Garden
In the heart of Central London, Covent Garden is ideal place for those that love the arts, music, statues (reword) If you like high-end fashion, this is a chic area to splash the cash and if you like good food (like myself) then there are trendy restaurants there such as l'Atellier De Joel Robuchon and Dishoom. There are (as with many parts of London) large crowds in London and I was fascinated with the human statues doing a variety of poses. It lured to the child in me, I loves pulling faces to see their reactions. Ok, don't do that, but take a look at some of the live music and artists that are there. And if you grow tire of Covent garden, venture into nearby Soho, Chinatown.
Spitalfields Market
I stumbled at Spitalfields market by chance, after visiting The Breakfast Club. There I found a beautiful array of unique clothes designers offering contemporary and vintage designs. There are many stalls to visit here, I particularly enjoyed the several stores selling African printed clothing. There are also some more shops nearby.
Buckingham Palace
Be prepared for lots of tourists here, Buckingham palace is one of the top places to visit in England. I'm sure you all know of Buckingham palace and it is beautiful just to walk and take the breathtaking stunning and magnificent palace. If you want to take a tour, of course that will set you back, but luckily when I visited The Changing of The Guard. The Changing of The Guard is full of pomp and precision. it is a ceremony where the old guard hands over responsibility of protecting the palace to the new guard. My top tip - get there early.

The latest version of Adobe's Acrobat will forward flip it even deeper into the enterprise applications arena.
Acrobat 9 adds more sparkle to its act
Adobe has evolved from a developer of software products for creative professionals to one providing essential desktop software for enterprises.
Its flagship product is Adobe Acrobat Professional, version 9 of which was released at the beginning of this month.
Established users will be watching for any significant enhancements on Acrobat 8, released but two years ago, and they should not be disappointed.
The version E&T tested was Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended which, as the name suggests, has the most features of all the versions released.
The feature that many will find most useful would be the ability to capture Adobe Flash content from a Web page in all its multimedia glory. It's reasonable to expect that Acrobat would have sorted this capability much earlier. After all, the acquisition of Macromedia (who originally developed Flash) occurred more than three years ago.
With version 7, Adobe had the ability to build PDF portfolios that combine multiple file types in a single PDF document. For v.9, Adobe has sexed-up the navigation tools with an Apple-inspired 'Coverflow' type interface. Another view allows users to slide document images left or right, as they thumb through a portfolio's contents.
Both these features will find an obvious use in marketing: for example, building an interactive form with an attractive Flash interface or cover. Alternatively, a magazine publisher might want to incorporate a movie or animation into its top page.
Acrobat now converts any video format into Flash format when embedding them in a PDF file. Any user who has version 9 of the reader will be able to view these video files without any problem.
Another handy feature is Document Compare. This allows you to select two versions of a PDF document that you want to compare - whether they be text documents, rich media and graphics files, or even scanned documents. The completed comparison displays colour-coded changes, with an automatically-generated colour key on the corner of the screen.
For creating online forms, Acrobat 9 adds intelligence to recognise content for conversion to fillable fields; and a forms tracking dashboard will show, for instance, the status of responses to a mass party invitation email, and let a user send reminders to guests. Responses can be sorted, filtered, and exported to spreadsheets.
Redaction tools - a key selling point of Acrobat 8 - will offer searches for numeric patterns in addition to multiple words and phrases. A company could find every accidental mention of a bank account number or top-secret product being developed, and black out the potential leaks from a PDF in a single swoop.
Another plus is the reduced loading time Acrobat seems to take when opening the application. E&T tested it on Windows Vista, and we didn't have the inclination or the time to glance resignedly at the nearest clock.
Adobe has also unveiled an online community with a word processor; file storage and sharing; and effortless integration with the new version beta.
In addition, Acrobat 9's security enhancements enable users to add 256-bit encryption, used by online banking, to PDFs.
Acrobat.com is an intrepid move for Adobe, but it synergises with the company's other efforts - such as the recent launch of Adobe Integrated Runtime environment (AIR), to enable developers to build rich Internet applications than can also operate offline.
The free Acrobat.com beta includes the buzzword word processor, which has been favourable compared to Google Docs - of which more anon. The ConnectNow Web conferencing and desktop sharing tool enables chatting via text, video, and voice. The hosted services invites file storage and sharing with the capability to convert documents to PDF.
Buzzword and companion tools would provide interactivity lacking in leading online word processors such as Google Docs and Microsoft office Live Workspaces.
Users can store files on Acrobat.com and join each other in virtual meeting rooms to share identical document views in real time. The site also can host data from forms created in other Acrobat software.
Overall, this is a more complete upgrade than Acrobat 8 was on its predecessor, where the main reason to upgrade would have been to work with Windows Vista. The features which Adobe have added can add more converts within enterprise IT departments and make it a required installation on enterprise PCs and laptops.

text: So heres the deal. I just recently bought a 360 premium off ebay. At first it was working fine but then I got the red ring of death several times, I used some blanket method or something to revive it i guess. But today the video went at wack, the colors were way messed up while i was playing, and now i cant even get video to show up, its this black and white fuzzy thing. I tried the methods to get it to work and resetting the video on the 360 but its still not working. So I'm wondering should I return the thing to the user that sold it to me or use the 360 warranty to replace it. I looked up on from the seller i bought from and they said I'd have to pay shipping to return, goddammit. But I'm really unsure of how to approach this.

Career wise, I'm a digital marketer and SEO with Fresh Egg, an agency with offices in both the UK and Australia. My role is technical, ensuring that client's websites are optimised for search engines and users alike. As such, it touches on many disciplines – design and development, UX, content, data analysis and all the related elements of marketing. As of July 2015 I am also responsible for a small part of the overall SEO team in a managerial capacity.
Prior to this I worked for a small company managing their e-commerce website, improving everything from code to content. I've also run several personal websites during this time, although these projects are now largely mothballed.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 65-year-old Papillion man has been sentenced to federal prison for possessing videos and pictures of prepubescent children engaged in sex acts.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for Nebraska says Leonard Megee was sentenced Thursday to 50 months in prison. He'll be required to register as a sex offender following his release.
Megee was arrested last year after a search warrant served at is home turned up the images and videos on computers. Prosecutors say most of the children depicted in the images were between 5 and 8 years old.

Leilani's Meandering Challenge
I recently participated in one of Leilani's exciting 5 day challenge projects. Each day she would give us a technique to do and we didn't know what would be next. It is very freeing doing this type of challenge. We are usually bound to rules knowing what the end product will be. I really love doing these!
I wanted to share with you the process and finished cloth which I have not decided how to use yet.....
You can check Leilani's website at http://studiogypsy.blogspot.com/
The first day we had to get a piece of fabric and transform it by painting. The second day we had to use stamps or write or doodle all over it. I chose paragraphs from poetry from one of my favorite poets, Pablo Neruda.
The third day we added another piece of fabric for the backing and then run it through the sewing machine in no special design, just all over.

May and Corbyn clash over Brexit ordeal
Jeremy Corbyn is promising to create a million good-quality jobs if he wins the General Election next week. "Instead of being held back by cuts, our futures can be invested in". He will add: "Under the Conservatives , the richest have got richer, while most people's incomes have fallen or stagnated". "Because the promise of Brexit is great, the opportunities before us enormous".

On this weekend's broadcast of "Fox News Sunday," while discussing President Donald Trump executive order halting immigration to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries, top White House aide Kellyanne Conway called it "a small price to pay" for safety.
Conway said, "You are talking about 325,000 people from overseas came into this country just yesterday through our airports, that is 325,000 . You're talking about 300 and some who have been detained or are prevented from gaining access to an aircraft in their home countries and must stay for now. That's 1 percent. And I think in terms of the upside being greater protection of our borders, of our people, it's a small price to pay."
She added, "If they're vetted, it's a routine screening process that they'll go through. If they're not dangerous, if they're not a threat, then … They're situations will be handled on a case-by-case basis."

In the past, many album covers have been banned for explicit images. What you may not know however, is that there are two albums that weren't released because their covers depicted unsanitary toilets.
Below, If You Can Believe Your Eyes And Ears by The Mama's and the Papa's, was instead released with a scroll over the image of a toilet (left).
The Rolling Stones' album, Beggars Banquet, featuring the song "Street Fighting Man" was banned for its cover, featuring a run down toilet in an unclean bathroom scene (left). The album art was replaced by the image on the right.

Waterworks' new collection is classic
Waterworks' latest is R.W. Atlas Fittings and District Tile, a collection designed in collaboration with New York City-based interior design firm Roman and Williams.
If the name isn't familiar to you (and I admit, it wasn't to me), then maybe the work is: The Ace Hotel, including its coffee shop, Stumptown Coffee, and restaurants, The Breslin and John Dory; The Standard, High Line Hotel and its restaurants The Standard Grill and The 18th Floor Club; The Royalton; numerous residential and commercial projects, as well as the much praised 211 Elizabeth Street, a luxury condo I remember visiting not only because of its exalted price tag, but also for its dramatic black kitchen and classically inspired, neighborhood-appropriate aesthetic. (The project also made an impression because of the word "bespoke," which was used on its brochure and still appears on its website. The term seemed ubiquitous at the time, being tossed around in press releases from various kitchen- and bath-related companies. Remember that?)
Anyway, that same aesthetic mix of period and industrial is also present in the new Waterworks collection, which represents the firm's first product launch and comprises more than 30 styles of faucets, fixtures and accessories. Robin Standefer, principal of Roman and Williams, said of the collection, which is available in several finishes, including new options burnished nickel and carbon: "R.W. Atlas is part of our ongoing interest in embracing the idea of American utility, but imbuing that with a sense of glamor and sophistication."
Interested in surfacing? The District Tile line comes in 20 colors and offers a wide range of field tile sizes and trim pieces in handmade and dust-pressed body types. All are hand-glazed to produce a natural pooling effect.

So, so, so exciting that you are all moved in!!! I really can't believe you have been married for 3 months already. I feel like it was not long ago at all that I was waiting to read the wedding recaps!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 13, 2012 at 8:17 AM
I'm so happy that you're all moved in! I'm excited to be starting to look at houses this weekend :) I can't believe it's been 3 months either, it seems like just yesterday you were writing your last blog before your wedding!ReplyDelete
Jim and I are going to a "dive in movie" which means you watch the movie from the big screen while sitting in a wave pool :) I'm pretty excited!Replies
So happy that you guys are all moved in!ReplyDelete
Yay for new houses! It is so exciting. Some good advise we got . . . Don't be in a rush to hang stuff up. Just take the picture, decor, whatever, and lean it against the wall under where you want to hang it to see if you like it there. That way you don't put it up, and then move it and pound a million holes in that new wall of yours.ReplyDelete
Today I've been married 11 months. Time really flies by!ReplyDelete
Did I read on another blog in the comments that you aren't on pinterest? You have to get one there. It is soooo much fun.ReplyDelete
I always have dry blogging spells in the summer.
#4: My former boss had a reputation for completely fouling up any copier she touched so people would run to do whatever it was for her when she started walking toward a copier.ReplyDelete
#5: Do I need to send you some basic HTML stuff? :)
#6: So I'm not the only one that blog-stalks? Whew!
#4: This morning when we got to the office the internet and server were out and the lady in charge of the computer stuff was out sick today so it made an interesting start to the day.ReplyDelete
#5: Everyone complains about the crappy blogging apps :( if you are looking to read blogs there are some pretty good google reader apps...
Yay for being moved in!

These are two ads for Chevron that ran in the November issue of Wired. They feature fake people proclaiming how they are going to save energy while looking at us with expressions of scorn and disdain.
Maybe Chevron thinks they're hypnotizing me: "I will use less energy. I will use less energy. I will use less energy."
The copy is gobbledygook that no one is ever going to read. It talks about all the great ways that Chevron is saving energy, a topic only slightly less interesting than reading about the composition of the slime secreted by the common garden snail.
I'm sure readers are dying to read about what a great and benevolent company Chevron is. Next to their logo are the words, "Human Energy," as if to imply that Chevron really isn't an oil company —it sells human energy, whatever that is.
The last bit of copy says:
Join us in one of the most important efforts of our time—using less.
Will you?
To which I reply: No, thank you.

Play BYA Baseball or Tee-Ball for Almost Free!
Bring us a new sponsor and receive a registration discount!
We rely heavily on the generosity of our sponsors to keep BYA registration costs affordable for all players and their families. We're always looking for NEW sponsors to join the wonderful group of local businesses and individuals already providing support to our league. We work hard to recruit and retain the sponsors who help support they BYA, but we could use your help. Here's how your help can pay off….
Maybe you know of a relative or friend who owns a business, or maybe the company you own or work for would like to become a sponsor…..you get the idea!
Here's how it works:
If you bring a NEW sponsor to the BYA, we'll give you a $15 credit towards your player(s) registration for the 2018 season. We'll credit you for up to 3 new sponsors (or $45 off your registration). Accepted sponsorships could be in the form of a team sponsorship, fence sign, or both – but they must be NEW sponsors who didn't support BYA last season.
All new sponsors will enjoy the same benefits that a traditional BYA sponsorship brings (team name on player jerseys, company design on fence sign, etc.). But most importantly, you and the new sponsor will enjoy the amazing feeling of helping the BYA provide affordable recreation to the boys and girls of our league. And remember, all donations to the BYA are tax-deductible.
To claim your credit(s), have the new sponsor review and mail the Sponsorship Form here or they can register online. Ask them to include your name in the 'Referred By' section on the form. Once we receive payment from the new sponsor we'll contact you on how to claim your credit. That's all there is to it!

When it's time to start finding new recipes and shopping for those holiday meals, you want the easiest method. If you have a recipe app on your mobile device or an account with a big name cooking site like Food.com or Better Crocker, then you are usually good to go.
But, what if you happen to find a recipe 5+ Awesome Food Blogs That Will Tantalize Your Senses & Might Even Inspire You To Cook 5+ Awesome Food Blogs That Will Tantalize Your Senses & Might Even Inspire You To Cook Cooking for ourselves is not always a top priority for most of us. We know we should, we know it's healthier. Food blogs can provide some excellent inspiration. To be really inspiring, a food blog... Read More on a blog or website that does not have a mobile app or account setup, or you simply do not want to sign up? Here are three simple browser extensions you can use that have companion mobile apps so that you can grab those recipes you see online and take them with you to the supermarket.
Google Keep
There is a Google Keep extension available for Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. And, there is a free app available for both iOS and Android devices. Unfortunately, the Google Keep extension doesn't allow you to capture a clip of the recipe with its ingredients and directions.
However, the nice thing about Google Keep 4 Google Keep Tips And Tricks For Better Notes, Lists And To-Dos 4 Google Keep Tips And Tricks For Better Notes, Lists And To-Dos Read More is that you can create an instant shopping list with checkboxes. You can also add labels to notes you save, so add one for Recipes or even drill down to Entrees and Sides. This makes it even quicker to pull up what you need on your app.
Just copy the text from the page and paste into the extension pop-up. You can enter the ingredients as handy list and the directions as a note.
You can also use Google Keep to create reminders which is convenient for when you plan to make that trip to the store. Then, just pop open the Google Keep app on your mobile device and your shopping list is ready and waiting.
Evernote Web Clipper
As we mentioned in a recent article This Simple Process Will Make You Insanely Productive On Any Browser This Simple Process Will Make You Insanely Productive On Any Browser Do you know how you can jump on your favorite browser, clip an article, take screen shots, save bookmarks, add reminders, and have notifications with all the details pop up in your calendar? Read More , the Evernote Web Clipper is available for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and built into Internet Explorer. Using the free Evernote app on your iOS or Android device, you can then access anything clipped from the Web.
While the extension does not allow you to create a list like Google Keep, it can be easier to use for some because you can clip the entire page with the directions and ingredients at one time. You can also add a tag, such Dessert or Side Dish and then save items to a specific notebook, like one specifically for Recipes. This not only keeps your recipes organized, but allows you to access those you want quickly.
The best way to save the recipe is to choose the Simplified Article option from Evernote Web Clipper. This will remove the ads and images from the page, leaving just the text that you need.
The entire page will then be saved in your Evernote account. So, head to the store, open Evernote on your mobile device, and there is everything you need for that delicious dish.
In the past you may have seen other articles explaining what a useful tool Pocket can be 9 Ways to Get More Out of Pocket 9 Ways to Get More Out of Pocket Pocket is the ultimate digital bookmarking service out there. Let's find out how to boost your Pocket experience with the right web apps and extensions. Read More . There is an extension for it on Chrome, Opera, and Safari. Firefox has Pocket built into your toolbar if you are using Firefox version 38.0.5 or later and if not, you can still install the add-on.
Internet Explorer users will need to add the Pocket bookmarklet instead of an extension. And of course, Pocket has a free app for both iOS and Android. While using Pocket for your recipes is more like using Evernote, it is still a great tool.
The easy thing about using Pocket to save recipes you find is that it also grabs the entire page for you with just a click of the button. You can add a tag if you keep your recipes categorized that way in your Pocket, which really makes it simple when you go shopping. After you have put your recipe into Pocket, you are set to get everything you need when you go to the grocery store.
Are You Preparing Your Holiday Cooking Like This?
Everyone is so busy when holiday season begins. Between the cooking, baking, shopping, decorating, and everything else, it can be hard to keep up. So, if you come across that perfect recipe online while browsing the news or checking out what's new in entertainment, you want to grab it when you see it.
One of these ways might be trick for you! If you have a different method for capturing and saving delicious recipes Yummly Lets You Share Recipes Just by Saying "Yum" Yummly Lets You Share Recipes Just by Saying "Yum" Fans of online recipe sites may have heard of Yummly before as it's been around for a while. But recently it's had one hell of a spruce-up and added a whole lot of new social... Read More and taking them with you to the store, feel free to share it below.

I totally agree with Flo - Copymethat.com is terrific!
Like Flo I also use and find CopyMeThat.com very useful. I'm able to quickly add recipes from any site using the extension and I can also go to the site itself and copy and paste or even add my own recipes if I want to.
I am able to add photos (from the site I'm on or my own), change text, add notes (such as comments from reviewers of the recipe), easily search my recipes, make shopping lists and more.
I've already saved a few hundred recipes in my Copymethat and its free, which I truly appreciate.
I use yummly.com a lot also, as Eric mentioned. But what I usually do with yummly is put my ingredients and parameters in the advanced search area, sort by "most popular" or by "quick and easy", pick a recipe to check out and go directly to that site. If the recipe sounds good I just click on the CopyMeThat extension logo that's in my browser and I have it saved; so easy.
In the past when I've had a couple of questions their support folks have been quick to answer and are very helpful.
It's definitely one of my favorite "discoveries" of this past year.
Yumly is all you need for recipes. Easy to create shopping lists and the directions are right there in the app.
Google Keep has problems. Evernote and Pocket are expensive.
I use Pocket and Google Keep. I use the checkbox part for my shopping lists.
Copy Me That - works across all platforms. Chrome extension, Android and iOS apps. It's the best.
The Onenote clipper extension for Chrome detects recipes and formats them nicely when clipping.

Laser Safety Glasses
Just wondering if there are any pairs of laser safety glasses down at the space that would be good for 432-452nm beam.
No. The only pair of glasses that look like laser safety glasses I've seen there appear to be for use by bystanders during plasma cutting. None of the glasses I've been able to locate in the building recently are marked in any way to indicate that they are safe to use with any particular spectrum of laser radiation.
It looks like you're working with a blue diode in the visible spectrum, which at least means that you have blink-reflex working on your side… Our discussions on laser glasses have mostly focused on invisible IR, but we opted to not spend a bunch of money on glasses, since the laser cutter has a proper enclosure, and we do not operate it with the door open.
Bugger, that's fair enough. I've got a couple OD 4 pairs coming in the mail. I was hoping to be able to fire it up the Laser asap as it's ready to go, but looks like Canada post will have to deliver first. I'd rather be on the safe side of things when dealing with it.

Sometimes, late at night--in the quiet, in the dark--Maria Ortega would sit outside her family's desert home in Michoacan, Mexico, and dream of a better life in El Norte with her husband, Federico. The dream was to have a house with a shiny new kitchen, carpeted floors and, the most important luxury, real beds with box springs and clean sheets.
But eight years later, the Ortegas' life was anything but a dream. They lived in a cardboard shack barely five feet high, with no gas or running water, a single dangling light bulb above a small refrigerator and a mattress shared by her five children while she and Federico slept on a concrete floor.
The Ortegas, legal residents who immigrated to the United States in 1982, paid a monthly rent of $100 for that nightmare. They spent one-third of their income from Federico's job as a warehouse employee in downtown Los Angeles to live in an East Los Angeles chicken coop.
Today the Ortegas live in a spacious three-story, four-bedroom, two-bathroom Whittier townhouse for $221 a month. The fulfillment of their dream--the subsidized rent, the stainless steel sinks, beds for all the children, the security and the dignity--is a result of a concerned social worker who heard about their living conditions and sent them to Beyond Shelter.

Did you know studies have shown professional photographs can cause a home to sell for more money with less days on market?
As an agent you know taking photos of homes, putting out the signs, and adding the lock box take time away from your prospecting. That alone can cost you thousands if you miss just one lead, not to mention although the photographs may be good they won't be professional quality. Unless you plan to spend additional time with editing software to get everything just right (Again costing you time and money).
That is why I am here, I will take my time to shoot the home making sure it is right, I can even put the lock box on and sign in the yard for you. Just leave them with the homeowner, and I'll do the rest. While I am shooting the client and agent are more than welcome to be there or somewhere else the choice is yours. You can trust that I will get the shots you need, as I have shot many homes for a number of clients. Having been an agent myself, I understand the shots that cause a buyer to take action, as a photographer I understand what the client is looking for in the photographs of their home. Once the shoot is done the photos will be processed to ensure they are sharp, colors are right, and they will be formatted to the required size for the MLS so the only thing you have to do is pick the best ones and upload them.

How did they do it? With big name signings such as Mark Hateley, Duncan Ferguson and Paul Gascoigne. They even managed to persuade Danish great Brian Laudrup to swap the warmth of Fiorentina in Italy for the less sunnier climes of Glasgow.
Retrospectively speaking, Rangers spent way beyond their means, but they formed one of the greatest football teams ever to come out of Scotland. An even in those glory years, spent largely under the management of current Gers chairman Walter Smith, there were plenty of teams fighting for second place.
Aberdeen were briefly semi-competitive until 1995, when they nearly got relegated, while Heart of Midlothian and Motherwell both had a go of playing second fiddle to Rangers. Celtic missed out on the top two for an incredible seven consecutive seasons, and during that time, they brushed with bankruptcy, but they would come back with a vengeance soon afterwards.
When I was growing up in the early 2000s, the Old Firm were still reasonably competitive on the European stage, and they had some big-name players as well. Celtic had Henrik Larsson, Chris Sutton and UEFA Champions League winner Paul Lambert, while their rivals at Ibrox could boast Claudio Caniggia, Ronald de Boer and Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Between 1997 and 1998, Rangers' squad included future FIFA World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso.
Even back then, the other Scottish Premier League teams - Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hearts, et cetera - were recruiting a significant number of players from teams in the English Premier League or what was then known as Division 1. There were a few from the lower English leagues, but not that many.
And now I get to the reason why I wrote this article. Inverness Caledonian Thistle finished 4th in last season's Scottish Premier League. That means that they are, according to the league table at least, one of Scottish football's leading teams. Therefore, one would expect Inverness to show a bit of ambition, and try to recruit some players from the Championship or League One as they bid to break into the European places.
Yet when their manager, former England hardman Terry Butcher, looked south of the borders, he didn't sign players from League One, or even League Two.
In recent years, some SPL also-rans have signed the odd player from the English Conference. Striker Clayton Donaldson moved to Hibernian from York City in 2008, I recall. To sign one non-leaguer in these austere times is understandable, to sign two is worrying, but Caley Thistle have - in the last couple of days - snapped up THREE English midfielders from non-league football.
One of them is our old friend, Ben Greenhalgh, formerly of Inter Milan and other football luminaries such as Maidstone United and Welling United. The winner of Football's Next Star in 2010 has swapped the fifth tier of English soccer, where he most recently played for relegated Ebbsfleet United, for the first tier in Scotland.
Joing him at Inverness is James Vincent, whose Kidderminster Harriers side played against Greenhalgh's Ebbsfleet in last season's Conference Premier. To be fair to James, though, Kidderminister did at least reach the play-offs.
The third new boy at the Caledonian Stadium is Danny Williams, who took time out of singing "Moon River" and fighting Vitali Klitschko for the world heavyweight title to lead Chester to Conference North glory this season.
The 24-year-old left-winger was only on loan to Chester, though. To whom was he actually contracted before moving to the SPL? Kendal Town. In the Northern Premier League Premier Division. From which they were relegated this season in 21st place.
In other words, the 4th-best team in Scotland have signed a player from the joint 221st-best team in England! Is that how desperate the Scots have become? You couldn't imagine it the other way round! I certainly can't see Arsenal bringing in a new goalkeeper from the local pub team in Kincardine O'Neil!
Either Danny Williams is a MASSIVELY underrated footballer, or Scottish football is continuing to plumb to new depths.

Abdullah Zekrullah Is My Coach
Abdullah Zekrullah was the Number 1 Coach at the Millionaire Mastermind. When I started affiliate marketing back in June 2016 this is the man who got me to $300 per day net profits. He taught me how to create winning campaigns, product research, and how to scale. Now he is teaching me how to master e-commerce. I have invested over $40k on coaching programs to learn how to be a digital entrepreneur.
Now Abdullah Zekrullah is taking it to the next level. I have seen this young man grow from a successful media buyer to a ENTREPRENEUR.

Here is a post from Facebook that Abdullah posted this past weekend. Read it and then set an appointment @Call With Charles
Hola Facebook community,
** This is going to be a long post, read when it's suitable to your time**
I have been absent and kinda disappeared from posting & being much engaged with facebook for the past 2 years or so. With everything that has been happening to my life in those past 2 years. I have a learned a lot of things. Took much slaps on my face from people I thought they really care for me. But…
Got into comfort zone, many, many and many times…
Worked very hard as well… Used to be comfortable at a salary/employee position. Thought it's safest way if you have a family, who wouldn't?! Then… Got another slap on my face and that there is no such thing called security in the world. You can be the best employee ever and then, you are out of the game in a heart beat! So that was the first hardest lesson learned.
Took me 3 full years to move from employee mindset to CEO mindset. 2nd lesson learned, you gotta take your ego down, remember who you are, where do you come from and who has gotten you to where you are right now. So from this point, let me introduce you myself again.
I'm Abdullah, 24yrs hustler
What do we stand for?
Exclusive Marketers | Team Comes First
I'm proud to announce how we are one step close from changing the online e-commerce game for so many people.
As I said before, it's not MYSELF… It's my amazing 13+ team member who are pushing and going extra mile to help ourselves and our students have massive results (Which I'm going to proof it in another post).
Started our own company with an amazing partner April 2017, however I been in this industry for 7+ years.
We started 2.
Now are 13
And it's just growing… We have failed big times as you may relate and figured the missing key components on why people wouldn't have results easily..
eCom Vip
Well, if you are into online eCommerce these elements may sound familiar to your ears:
– You have to build a store from scratch.
– You need professional designs, logos and banners for your brand.
– You need a skilled team for phone/email support.
– Then, the product research hassle and where to research products, how to find good ones with high chances of becoming winners to sell.
– Then you need to list them in your store and create great professional video ads for these products
– Then comes the traffic side after all that gets done you barely have 20-30min left in your day to launch a campaign.
With all that, you barely be able to test 1 product a day which 99% of the time won't be your lucky lottery spot and you would need to repeat this whole process again, again and again…Don't get me wrong, we gotta hustle and grind… Then you find your winning product and you start to cash in some good sales and then…
Fulfillment, Support emails/ chargebacks, and so many other thing that pulls you from launching new campaigns and scaling what's working for you. Even when you handle it, then you get back trying to launch that product again, then it doesn't work anymore… It's too late!
After all that, now you have to build a team, test them out and do bazillion interviews to try to filter and get the best… Which I know 100% is very frustrating, I got 13+ amazing team members in my team but it took me days and days of continuous research and filtering to get the best of the best!
Well, you get my point here… There is no such thing as easy business and it really takes putting too many key components together to make it work, like a closed circle. If it gets opened at any point, it won't work anymore. With that being said, We have decided our FIRST program ever that we stand behind it with our heart.
Which will basically solve 90% of the equation… HOW?!
Well, We will pretty much do everything for you using my highly trained and skilled team to run all your backend process…
Except traffic, which we will still cover 100% of it in the modules and help you optimize, scale on our webinars but this is the only thing you will do yourself.
Imagine you being able to test 5 products a day or more in less than 2 hours just because everything is done for you, you just need to put the campaign which takes no more than 15min. Your store support/fulfillment/techy stuff, name it –> all of them is being taken good care of for you. Imagine you hiring all my 13+ team which are going to be 15 by the end of this month inshallah
Scale and Optimize
And you solely focus on traffic, making sales and scaling. If you been into eCommerce, you know how hard it's to find good products to test and then make a video ad for each and every one of them that's compliant and engaging on FB ads. I can go forever here on how many things we will do for you so instead, I will just recap it with you only run traffic and optimize campaigns, THAT"S IT – Let us do the rest!
I'm 100% aware and stand behind every word said here that I know many people will think Am I Crazy to offer such thing? Well, this is our FIRST program ever, so I need to offer something that nobody has the guts to offer it.
I'm inspired by Apple here, didn't you get iPhone 7 plus, oh wait now come iPhone 8 plus and you will buy it with no question of the quality, support & customer experience you have had with them. This is exactly what I'm looking forward building here. We do walk the talk… No theory! Now, with all that being said you would smell high ticket offer here and that's for true, I believe transparency is good on both side.
This is a high ticket offer here, we haven't launched yet but we are going to very soon. Even if you have the money, you still need to go thru a call either with myself or one of my superstar team to make sure we are both good fit together.
This program is CAPPED! This is NO scarcity thing… You can already see, this is super premium service which I can't even if I want offer it to everyone, I still got limited superstar team member who can service so much. So to build a quality program, I have to very limit who joins.
We have 50+ testimonials screenshots from past programs I have participated in so we do what we teach and we teach 100% of what we do. Are you interested in being part of this premium mastermind?
Comment below & let's build legacy together
P.S ** This is NOT a day/night money scheme or fast money, this is just a done for you service to let you focus on the most important tasks and let us do the heavy & time consuming tasks for you**
Thanks for taking the time to read,
Abdullah Zekrullah

At long last the icy grip of winter 2015 lost its purchase. As much as Spring was delayed, it ultimately could not be denied. Birds arrived, green shoots squeezed from the cool soil and buds swelled until the building organic pressure exploded with such force that it seemed to whipsaw the jet stream. An unseasonable warm front overran the region and for much of the past week heat and humidity took hold and drove inland temps close to the 90-degree mark. But not here at the coast. That great thermal mass known as the Atlantic takes its time warming up, and, while in-landers were flipping the thermostat from heat to chill, we were 20-degrees cooler and shrouded in a fog as thick as Chef's chowder. Such is the case when that first hot, humid air of the season meets 50-degree ocean waters.
And then overnight blustery winds introduced a new front and today bright sun, mild breezes and a cerulean sky are the order of the day. Perfect timing because a lovely wild shrub known as the Shadblow is just coming into bloom. Shadblow is so named because it blooms about the time shad run up the rivers.
American Shad (related to herring) are anadromous fish meaning they spend most of their life in the ocean, but swim up stream in the spring to lay eggs in freshwater rivers and ponds. As with so many fish, dam building during the industrial revolution cut off passage to breeding grounds and greatly reduced their populations.
In colonial times shad were an important food fish, but in modern days it is just a niche market. This time of year local fish markets will sell shad and shad roe – the eggs of the gravid female for which one must acquire a taste – and many littoral inhabitants will observe a once-a-year practice of having a shad dinner. Shad are fun to catch on light tackle, but they are full of bones; it pays to buy from a good fish market where they know how to filet them.
Anyway, back to the shrub. The shadblow is a multi-trunked tree that grows up to about twenty-five feet high. Their twisting trunks take on free-form shapes and support a canopy of lacy branches that are now covered in delicate white flowers. We've already covered the "shad" portion of the name; the "blow" part comes from flowered limbs blowing to and fro in the spring breezes, and then six or eight days later the spent blossoms breaking free and fluttering in the wind.
Being a week or two behind inland areas, in terms of spring foliage, we see the shad blooms against a backdrop of soft green emerging leaves and red buds. There are certainly showier blooms along local lanes, including ornamental cherries and forsythia, but nothing is so timely and classic as the native shadblow.

Having a business objective called excellence in customer service is probably part of every company's mission statement. But, what exactly does it mean? Well, it depends on whom you ask, and possibly when you ask. As customers, you who are reading this, probably have your own ideas about what constitutes great customer service. I know I do.
When you contact a company for the first time, there is a normal exchange of information about your specific issue, your wants and needs. You tell them about the problem you're trying to solve or what you're looking for and they ask you questions – for example, about the color, size, number of items you want to order, date you need them, how you want to pay for them, etc. If you, the customer, are satisfied with how the call proceeds, you'll probably buy the product or service or do business with the company again in the future. If you are unhappy with how the call proceeds, you won't, as companies well know.
So, when you decide to "go" with a given company, what exactly makes you do it? And in the end, does it matter?
Yes! It surely does matter. It matters to you, and it matters to that company, because without a lot of "you's," the company does not survive.
So, back to the question: What makes you give the thumbs-up signal to doing business with a company?
Was the customer service outstanding? Was the rep knowledgeable, professional, courteous, friendly, empathetic, relatable? Or did it just come down to price? Was it all of these factors, or something else entirely? For most people, customer service is a determining factor in the "whom to do business with" decision matrix. According to Gartner in 2014, "89% of marketing heads predict that customer experience will be the primary basis for competitive differentiation by 2017." It seems we arrived at that point early, since, in 2016, "89% of consumers have stopped doing business with a company after experiencing poor customer service."
The essential question now is, what constitutes excellent customer service?
You probably can answer that based on your own experience! Customers want service personnel to be friendly and empathetic, resolve the problem quickly, and make the process easy. Most people probably find these "demands" reasonable. Delivering them is not always easy, however!
Customer service reps (contact center agents) are the frontline force that represents the enterprise. These are the people who make or break "excellence in customer service." Being the best possible rep is dependent upon attitude more than anything – a desire to help the customer and do so in a pleasant manner. In the contact center, however, customer service reps have performance metrics to meet. For example, Average Handle Time (AHT) of say, 90, 120, 180 seconds, to solve "world hunger" on a customer service phone call. That's a short time and a lot of pressure to complete the task and deliver excellent customer service. No matter how great the attitude, the stress of meeting AHT goals (and other metrics) can be wearing and frustrating, especially if customers are demanding and difficult.
Reducing contact center workforce stress is something WorkFlex strives to bring about with our intraday management technology. Customer service reps who need a break from the AHT pressure or the angry customers can use WorkFlex to schedule themselves into off-phone activities such as email or chat, or can complete a training module, if they need to. They can also take time off of work to get a breather and they do not have to ask the center's schedulers for permission. Instead, they just look at available overstaffed periods in the WorkFlex mobile app or in the browser version and select what they like. Decompression helps keep attitudes positive and service-oriented. That, in turn, makes customer attitudes toward companies more positive, which in turn, keeps them coming back. Ultimately, it means company survival.
WorkFlex is a tool in the available toolbox of methods and mechanisms contact centers can use to achieve their excellence in customer service objectives. Why not investigate how it works? You'll be interested to learn about what else it can do for your contact center. Trust me, that's a lot.

A young lady was getting married, her colleagues organized a party to celebrate her departure from spinsterhood. Everyone was eating, drinking and making merry when one of her colleagues who was known for cracking unnecessary and embarrassing jokes at unexpected moments walked in. None of his colleagues has ever asked him why he behaves the way he does since they heard from a source that the man was having a little mental problem.
The lady that was getting married was fond of sleeping around most especially with her high ranking colleagues even with the married ones. She was always ready for whoever could afford to foot her bills. Her most regular affairs were with the administrators of the company thereby giving her opportunity to be promoted whenever the wind of promotion blows.
On this happiest day of hers, nobody would discuss this open secret except the notorious joker. Somewhere in between the flow of drinks and laughter, the man stood up and requested to speak and he was given a chance.
"I want to congratulate our colleague on this great day", he began. "This must be one of the happiest days of her life. I know this because she has now got what she has spent many years looking for. I'm sure her success in getting a husband is a gift from God. You see, that's why it's good to be good. Even the Bible says that God loves a cheerful giver. We all know that our colleague here is a cheerful giver. She gives everything she has including her body. Even one of the administrative chiefs can bear witness to this. Once again, I say congrats."
When he ended his speech, everywhere was quiet, one could actually hear a pin drop. Everyone was embarrassed that nobody could look at the next person in the eye. A lot of people got up and left because they couldn't stand the embarrassment.
If only looks could kill then the man would have dropped dead from the look on the lady's face.
