I love Christmas lights. Like, really really reallly love them. They just make me happy. When I was a kid, we used to go to the boat parade in Newport Beach, CA. There was also the best Christmas light display I've ever been to. They had a Santa and after waiting in line to see Santa, he knew your name! It wasn't until many, many years later that I found out they had a walkie-talkie system, relaying names. HA!
Our town doesn't really do anything. At all. Nothing from the city, no neighborhoods that go all out. It's really rather Bah Humbug! However, there are a few great displays. There's the Bagwell's Lights. They're a father and son that live next door to one another. The son sort of takes over the yards in the neighborhood with his display.
Then there's the B Hwy Christmas Display. I found this totally by accident! There's about a million Christmas inflatables on display at a couple of houses. Well, according to the facebook page there's 200+
And then there's this house I saw on Puck Daddy. It's actually in Buffalo, NY, but if I can talk a couple other people into it, I may consider doing something similar next year. Of course, we'd have to use a different team.
What about you? Do you dig Christmas lights?

A thief broke into a self-storage unit in Woodruff, S.C., and made away with a samurai sword bladebut left the handle behind.
According to the Spartanburg County Sheriffs Office, the door on a self-storage unit at Terrys Self Storage was left partially open and the lock was missing. The theft happened sometime between mid-October and Nov. 15, when the self-storage tenant discovered the blade was missing.
The blade is about two and a half feet long. No other items were taken, and there are no reports of theft or cut locks from other units at the facility.

www-talk mailing list @ w3.org I had a project for a proxy server. The proxy is subjected to use HTTP/1.1 as a base for it's File and Streaming protocols that are supported (e.g. HTTP, FTP, Gopher, optional mms (microsoft media server), e.d.). This means the implementation should be protocol independ, without losing support for caching e.d. Maybe even other protocols can be accessed using the HTTP/1.1 proxy server, but so far I leave it by these protocols, but implementations with POP3, SMTP and IMAP should be easy to make. The questing was how to use HTTP/1.1 as a protocol-independ 'platform' and how to coordinate the transactions between different protocols. I supposed to divide the proxy into a couple of services that all do there own things: - Core: sets up and coordinates the connection between different services. - Incoming: accept client connections and translate them - Outgoing: makes a connection to the internet server or to the upstream proxy server - Storage: caches, mailboxes, e.d. I was not sure how to make a implementation for all these protocols, however I figured I might need something for different protocols: mail-based section, routing-based section, e.d. inside the proxy server. - Joris Dobbelsteen......

I'll just wait till that extended description.
This is just a quick and dirty release of Shifter v1.8.4. At least, it's probably Shifter v1.8.4. It's stable, it has a number of changes (mostly bugfixes and TNM compatibility) and it works. I'll expand on this description later.
- Shifter-TNM: Made sure that when Shifter replaces TNM's MedBots with
the Shifter ones it only removes the old TNM bots after its sure the
new ones are in place. If a replacement MedBot isn't spawned then the
old TNM one will still be around, which means it augmentation
replacement may not always be available in TNM + Shifter.
- HDTP no longer loads/unloads when you do a QuickSave, which will
make these saves actually quick, but not fully compatible if swapping
save files between computers. Of course, if you're going to swap a
save file then you can just make a separate, non-quick save file.
- Added a built-in way to skip the intro when starting a new game:
right-clicking the "OK" button. This is probably only going to be
useful for people trying to run Shifter with the Demo version, and the
horribly impatient.
- Moved around part of the fix for the UC destruction event in HK so
it's more efficient.
- Also moved around where Ray gets set to being neutral. While I was
there I also removed some old, out-of-date code that was doing nothing
but taking up resources.
- Added a routine to part of NPC Random Inventory which should help
ensure that items given to NPCs, particularly ones in TNM, don't just
wind up at their feet. Also adjusted NPC Random Inventory to not
factor in inventory belonging to another NPC that has somehow been
linked to the wrong inventory list.
- Fixed a subtle Deus Ex glitch with couches. Did you know they're
supposed to come in five different colors? I didn't. Thanks to Jonas
of TNM for pointing that out.
- Re-worked the Pistol Downgrade fix so that it is more compatible
with other mods like TNM/etc. which use a custom New Game Menu class.
- Changed the code for putting random augmentations in summoned Aug
Cans. The code was set up so that if it picked one of the "default"
augmentations then it would simply pick the next aug in the list, which
skewed results towards those "next" augs. Now it will just start the
random selection process over.
- Restored the Crossbow's original firing sound, which was never heard
due to a code oversight. Thanks to Lork on the OTP forums for pointing
this out.
- Also adjusted the Targeting aug so it will use the display name of a
weapon it spots being carried by an NPC, if available. Also thanks to
that wacky Lork guy.
- Holy crap more Lork-reported fixes. This time he discovered that if
you are using a Charged Pickup (thermoptic camo, etc.) when you are
captured by UNATCO it will leave the HUD in place and cause some other
weirdness after the item is confiscated.
- And someone ELSE pointed out that while the description on the
HazMat Suit says it protects against fire, electricity, and EMP damage,
it actually doesn't. Now it does.
- Ballistic Armor will now protect against explosive gunfire.
- A "because I can" fix, If you boost the EMP aug past Tech Four using
the Synthetic Heart aug you will actually GAIN health and energy from
sources of EMP.
- Finished work on one of the more odd-ball DXMP models I decided to
add. I'm not going to say who or what it is, except that if you've
played through one of the more bizarre Deus Ex mods you'll get the joke
- Any consumable items (soda, etc) which show up in DXMP will act as
instant-effect items when you click them, e.g. if there's a bottle of
booze when you click it you'll immediately gain some health and get a
teeny tiny bit drunk. This has something to do with the new DXMP model
I mentioned above.
- Changed the ammo pickup count from bodies. Again. In normal DX it
was anywhere from 1 to 4, which I changed to 1 to .
Now it's a bit more complicated: 1 to (half the clip size or four,
whatever is greater).
- Moved another MissionScript fix to a lower-lag location, this time
the fix that stops the x51 scientists from making their own bots turn
on them.
- Decoration items which are not supposed to be highlight-able (i.e.
you don't see borders around them when you get close, like destroyed
cars and such) would show the "default this is a bug" description
when the Targeting augmentation was active. Fixed. Thanks to Allan
on the OTP forums.
- You may now notice ricochet sounds for bullets that miss you. This
was due to a strange bug in TraceHitSpawner.uc, which cannot parse any
variables of the Name type. Thanks to Lork for pointing this out.
- More Lork stuff: the "standing aim bonus" kept increasing the longer
you stood still, to the point where you could wind up with a rather
large "movement grace period" if you stood still for long enough.
- Grenades other than just yours will now cause a screen flash if you
are close enough. This applies in singleplayer AND multiplayer. Lork
pointed this out too.
- Optimized a bit of code which determined what types of projectiles
the Aggressive Defense aug could detonate. While I was there I also
made sure it won't detect and detonate placed grenades, which was just
a bit silly.
I'll just wait till that extended description.
I'll definately download this for my next playthrough of Deus Ex and TNM both. I'll wait for extended description as I'm curious as to the changelog! :D
His comments there give a lot of the stuff that's probably in the change log
Thanks for this!
There's something wrong with the minicrossbow shoot sound. In the first mission it made a sound, but when I get to the next mission, or just inside the unatco hq, the minicrossbow doesn't make any sound when I fire it.
So I have ENB and Kentie launcher and New Vision installed all at the same time and they work fine. Anybody got any questions about those Ill be happy to answer them.
The problem is I cant get shifter to work. It doesnt give me a GP fault like it did before because I fixed it I think (If asked I will give specifics) and now when I try to go to training it just freezes. I let it sit for a little while and then I have to turn off my computer. Because it simply freezes and doesnt give me and error message I assume im really close.
Are you running ENB with the DX10 version of the renderer? How is your FPS?
Stinks that you are having problems with Shifter, as I know Deus Ex Enhanced has to have it!
I had no idea anyone had replied to this. I had no email notification. Shouldnt I get an email notification? I dont use MODDB often for chat. Anyways It was my stupidness that thought GOTY meant I didnt need to update so that problem is fixed. Now low tech skill doesnt make your melee stronger and combat strength doesnt increase damage either. First time playing and playing with New Vision, and HDTP. Im done with the slow framrate and grainy smeared textures of ENB as nice as it makes certain things look.
I am using DX9. Are you saying you can use DX10 with ENB? On a smaller note I would like to change my rediculous username and also recieve email notifications on moddb.
i wanna know the cheat code for the "super secret gun that cant be found anywere in the game" :D
It seems I can't get this nor the previous version of the mod to work, at least, fully. I do got the aug changes, but it seems that the "special" weapons are not appearing in the game in the places they are supposed to be. Also, it seems the problem with the guards in the back of Maggie Chow's apartment can still hear me if I walk normally into the elevator (something that was supposedly fixed) along with the other things that did not seem to take affect (like the laser reticule that was supposed to be on by default. I did read the "Readme" file back to front and have the requirements to run this mod, but it only seems to be half-working. Any ideas? Currently using HDTP and the ENB mods on conjunction with this.
I am playing the GoTY version purchased off of Steam. The readme basically says to replace two files (and back up the previous versions already in the folder), but I have a feeling I am missing something.
Disregard this. I found out what was causing Shifter's effects not to actually work.
TLDR: 1. Apply Shifter's mod first to fresh copy of Deus Ex GoTY Steam
2. Forums.steampowered.com - Follow guide shown here. When adding paths to DeusEx.ini DO NOT add the path "Paths=..\HDTP\System\*.u" as it breaks Shifter Mod. Textures work as they should regardless.
Here's what I did:
1. Had Vanilla copy of Deus Ex installed. Applied Shifter's mod FIRST. Unsure if the order makes a difference here.
2. Followed the guide here Forums.steampowered.com. In step 1 I did not use the Launcher that Kentie (i.e. do not copy "DeusEx.exe" from the "all in one pack" to your system folder) had created. Instead skip to post 3 for the manual way setting up.
3. In step 7 you are required to edit paths in DeusEx.ini file. There are 3 paths listed, and you need to avoid putting in the following path: "Paths=..\HDTP\System\*.u". This breaks shifter's mod.
actually, you don't need "HDTP\System\*.u".
see HDTP part of shifter readme, shifter doing role of "HDTP\System\*.u",
but you need to copy the HDTPanim.utx file
into your deusex\Textures folder for shifter to work properly with HDTP.

Andrew Wiggins recently revealed an interesting 10 year goal to Slam Magazine. It has to do with Team Canada overcoming Team USA in the Olympics one day.
"Yeah, I think we'll be able to give [Team USA] a good game," he says. "I'm confident that we can win a championship—an Olympic Gold medal—in the next 10 years. Anything is possible."
Wow. That is a bold one; with Team USA coming off of a dominant gold medal run it would be hard for Canada to win it in 2016. But in 2020 LeBron James will probably no longer be on the team, you cannot say that for sure though.
Wiggins played in front of Team USA last summer and played pretty well, and it would be a truly legendary thing if he was able to lead Canada to Olympic basketball glory and weaken the US Team's stranglehold on the gold medal.
Wiggins is still undecided on his college choice, but the tweet below was of particular interest to me.
Andrew Wiggins reportedly waiting on the decisions of UNCs mcadoo hairston and Bullock on whether they go to the NBA or not to make decision

If Wiggins was a Tar Heel, man I would do everything in my power to go to as many of his games as possible.

Vintage Birdhouse
So, I had a plain wooden birdhouse. It was one of the many I buy for Bryn to paint. I finally decided to steal it after it had been sitting around for months looking all depressed. I went crazy with vintage scraps that I can't part with. Now that's all I'm on the hunt for. Birdhouses and vintage fabric. I kind of have the birdhouse bug. It's turning into a small village. Too bad I can't live in one of these houses. I think I might cover a house in scrap fabric if I could.

|Basic Mixture Technician Training (28 PDHs)
A 4 day course – $1,495 – Lexington, KYClick Here for Dates, Locations, Fees & Registration
Course Description | Optional Certification Testing | Class Schedule | Who Should Attend | Tests Covered
Fees, Registration, Dates & Seminar Location | Transfer, Cancellation & Refund Policy | Hotel Info | Inclement Weather Info | Contact Info
Course Description
The Basic Mixture Technician Training (BMTT) course provides detailed, hands-on laboratory training to both experienced and inexperienced technicians for testing aggregates and asphalt mixtures. Instruction will cover the most current AASHTO and ASTM standards used in the Superpave mix design process. The course focuses on giving the students a thorough understanding of each test and related processes, while instructing students on the procedures and techniques which will maximize testing accuracy and repeatability. Students will receive training over the entire range of activities related to asphalt mix design and testing: aggregate sampling and batching, testing aggregate properties, mixing, short-term aging, compaction, and testing of both loose and compacted asphalt mixtures. Eighty percent (80%) of the course time will be spent in the laboratory, and the remaining twenty percent (20%) will be spent in classroom instruction. The class size is limited to six students to maximize each student's time with instructors while reviewing each test procedure.
This course is intended to complement the Asphalt Institute's Mix Design Training (MDT) course. While the BMTT course focuses on the actual tests and laboratory processes involved in asphalt mix design performed by technicians, the MDT course focuses on how advanced technicians, designers, and/or engineers use laboratory and project information in the mix design process to create long-lasting asphalt mixtures.
Optional Certification Testing
The last afternoon is reserved for an optional written certification exam. The exam, which takes from two to three hours to complete on average, is designed to be challenging enough to allow only those students who have a good understanding of laboratory procedures to pass. Specifying agencies may accept the Asphalt Institute Basic Mixture Technician Training Certification, either in whole or in part, as meeting the requirements for certification for their agency. Prospective participants should verify the applicability of this certification with their local agency. The Asphalt Institute does not maintain a list of agencies that accept this certification.
Class Schedule
Tuesday – Thursday: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (lunch provided)
Friday: 8:00 am – 12:00 pm
1:00 pm-3:00 pm – Asphalt Institute Basic Mixture Technician Training Certification Exam (Optional)
Who Should Attend
This course primarily targets new technicians. Others who can benefit are, asphalt technologists, engineers, consultants, scientists, and technicians responsible for asphalt testing, materials approval, specification and quality control for pavements. Knowledge of the Superpave aggregate and mixture specifications is helpful but not required. The course will also benefit local and state materials and federal agency personnel, contractors, and university educators.

Finally I have managed to get something done. I have been ill for a couple of days but todat spring is in the air and I am feeling much better. I have sewn the first sample of my little owl pencil skirt. I will custom make this pencil skirt for the buyer. It features my little owl on dark green organic cotton. It has a high waisted look and looks fabulous with a belt and a blouse.
I have been planning it for ages, but now finally it is done!
The material is 100% organic cotton sateen. The skirt is fully lined with a polyester lining and the waistband has a zipper and a hook&eye closure. The skirt also has a slit to make you move ever so lady-like! The standard length of the skirt is 59cm/23.2 inch but I can change this. The maximum size that I can make is 126cm/50inch(US size 22/EU size 52) due to the width of the fabric. However if you have a bigger hip than that I can order suitable fabric nonetheless, but it will be more than the listed price.
For more info, see my etsy shop!

LILY Allen has become a mother for the second time after giving birth to a baby girl.
She and husband Sam Cooper are reported to have named her Marnie Rose.
They already have a daughter called Ethel who was born 14 months ago.
Friends and fans were bombarding the star with congratulations this morning and she said: "Quite overwhelmed by all the well wishing going on. Thank you everybody."
Allen, who now uses her married name Cooper, had a string of chart hits including Smile and The Fear before announcing she was retiring from her pop career. But after launching a fashion business, she is said to be working on a new album.
Asked if she was managing to have a rest after the birth, she responded on Twitter: "Yeah right. Can't uncross my eyes. Unique mixture of tiredness and strong painkillers."
Allen seemed to hint that the birth was imminent with an online message earlier this week in which she suggested she was eager to start the labour by tucking into spicy food.
"Third curry this week .... Nothing," she wrote.

|The outline is unmistakenly Lima - is this a winning combination of Lima's tool making with a better mechanism (and sound!) for much less than the more sophisticated alternatives?
Hornby acquired Lima and its range a number of years ago - I suspect it was mainly to Hornby a foothold in the European market but the range of British models also came with this. A select few have made their way into Hornby's budget range of 'Railroad' models. The former Lima class 47 has appeared in a number of guises under the Hornby label. This model, however, is one of the more notable versions.
The former Lima model has received an all new power bogie which runs quite nicely and is very quiet in operation - the model has all wheel pick and runs very confidently at low speed. The old Lima bogie tooling has been modified further to accommodate NEM coupling pockets and have lost the massive Lima style couplings! Of course this isn't the first release of the Railroad version of the class 47, but this is the first Railroad version I've had myself. Well, not strictly true, I've had a couple of Railroad bodies which I've bought second hand, but it's identical to the Lima version so it tells you very little! They both have the same lovely and subtle tooling around the roof but suffer from the same issues which I've covered elsewhere - in the main, it's the window surrounds which are the worst bit with more subtle problems with the shape and curvature of the 'nose' and the horn cowling. All issues which can easily be corrected. The only other thing is an odd one - for some reason Hornby have changed the buffers which are fitted to the model compared with the Lima ones - the latter's were a nice size and proportion, even if not that detailed at all whereas Hornby's are rather short stubby things which give the front of the loco a slightly odd, 'bunged up' look. Lots of potential for the 'real modeller'...!
Decoration is to a high standrad and the paint very well applied but I'm not convinced by the colours - it doesn't sit well with with either locos which have retained their Lima paintwork or have been resprayed using Pheonix paints. The lack of OLE flashes and the orange cantrail stripe are very obvious by their absence. Although I realise this is a budget model, leaving details like these seems a real shame - it does appear as penny pinching, regardless of what the financial implications for Hornby. If the windscreen wipers can be picked out in black, why not add add the cantrail stripe instead?
The chassis is exactly the same as the Lima version with a lot of plastic where there should be daylight, the 'moulded gap'. It does give the model a rather dated appearance - although I'm happy to chop and modify Lima models, it's a different situation here. With the Lima ones I'm hacking at older models which I've bought cheaply or had for years, here we have a brand new model which needs the same treatment! Not a problem but some people may be apprehensive. But we need to remember that this is a budget model which is priced some considerable way below other RTR class 47s on the market. At £89.99 it's still not cheap but for what you get as a package, it's rather good. Of course the main attraction is the sound!
So for less than the cost of a sound decoder, we have a complete locomotive. But the main question is, is it any good? Hornby have been very keen to promote their Twin Track Sound (TTS) products. The price is, I think, the main selling point.
Much of it is subjective. For me sound is good up to a point but overly loud locos can dominate layouts and not be particularly pleasing. When a train passes the sound of the loco is only part of it - watch a freight pass and its the roar of the wagons which causes most noise. Few layouts really use sound effectively, Mark Tatlow's Portchullin is one where sound seems to be perfectly executed, subtle unlike many exhibition layouts running sound locos! So is sound part of our pursiut of realism or just a bit of fun? Well, that's up to the individual - I can see the fun my little boy had running the loco up and down a four foot test track!
And it's rather good - for the money, it's surprisingly good! It's not to the same quality as a top end set up, as you might expect, but still good from the test running I've done - I could have filmed it, but it would have looked like all of those video reviews on You Tube which also show you how to open the boxes... But this from Hornby will give you a good idea of the range of sounds -
My main issue is the severe lack of weight which affects the model's tractive effort significantly - Lima used the rather crude but effective method of sections of steel bar for weighting its British models, Hornby have used a die-cast weight in its place. There is a cut out to accommodate the speaker which reduces the weight even more. Once I get to work I'll address the weight issue - anyone who's converted Lima models will be used to this anyway! It should improve both haulage and slow speed running.
|The roof is one of the best areas with this model - since we normally look down on a our models, this is no bad thing either. The subtlety of the Lima tool making is not always equalled by more recent releases.
As a package, I think the model works really well - you can argue that it lacks all sorts of things. These extras will cost money, and Bachmann provide a readily available alternative if you desire more factory applied details and a choice of liveries anyway. So a basic model which is well proportioned and sounds pretty good for this sort of money sits quite well with me. If you shop around you can get the TTS class 47 for just short of seventy quid too which makes it a very attractive proposition, especially as second hand prices on eBay and Facebook seem to verging on the ridiculous! Plus it provides an excellent base for further work. Spend a few quid on parts from Shawplan and along with a few other details and time you can easily build a model which can easily eclipse more expensive options. This is definitely an option which deserves consideration.

Republican Morgan Griffith, whose 9th District seat in the in the U.S. House of Representatives includes Cana, Virginia and the rest of Carroll County, defeated Democrat Derek Kitts and independent Janice Allen Boyd to hold onto his seat.
The three-term congressman easily outdistanced his opponents in Carroll County voting, nearly winning by a four-to-one margin. Griffith picked up 10,155 Carroll County votes, or 76 percent of the total votes cast. Kitts recorded 2,727 votes, while Boyd received 469 votes. There were 14 write-in ballots.
The win gives Griffith a fourth two-year term. Prior to running for the House in 2010, Morgan served in the Virginia House of Delegates for eight two-year terms. In the year 2000, he became the first Republican in the state's history to hold the office of House Majority Leader.

Run over here and check this out.
hmmm, wonder if I'm too old?
Since going natural, so much more than my hair has changed.
The story:
One day, filling up my shopping cart at Oyin, I switched to a natural deodorant.
Oyin's Funk butter was working, but the container was a problem so I ditched it and thought, I can DIY. Ugh, I had a bad bad reaction – hidradenitis suppurativa. Basicly, painful lumps in my armpits, I mean go to the doctor, cough up the copay painful.
The antibiotics worked but would you believe that *ish* came back a few weeks later, another visit, another copay another prescription. I REFUSED to constantly be on meds and that's all the Doc was talking, besides see a specialist, blah blah blah. He wrote me 2 more scripts, I filled one but refused to fill the other. Dang it!
So, I did my OWN research and learned that it was a result of swollen and infected glands but also that the DIY deodorants es didn't have an antiseptic kinda (well not strong enough for me). (Kinda like hair DIYs without a preservative).
So, one day, I just tried my Tea Tree Oil on a q-tip (cause it's $10 a bottle) and BOOYAA! It worked and guess what, the infection has NEVER come back. Simply Amazing!!!!
I still didn't want to use deodorants with aluminum, so I've been buying and trying all kinds, and I'm pleased to report this one actually works with bonuses!!!
This gets Five Stars! (here's why)
#1 It keeps the funk at bay, Imma lady but I will admit, I need de-o, fo sho.
** {Bonus} **
Easy to use, you just wet it and rub it on your pits. Simple. Won't ruin your cute shirt, ever!
Super Duper gentle on your skin!! I used it today after shaving, no irritation.
You could also use it on ur feet, (my hubbs says my middle kid needs one)
I found this gem at my local Fresh Market ($7 or $8) – we don't have Whole Foods, but I bet it's there. So no S&H – Gotta Luv it even more for that!
{also…It's only been 2 weeks, so I will let you all know if that pesky infection returns, but I've been without it for well over 9 months now.}
Thanks for stopping in. I appreciate ya for it.
I talk myself in and out of things alll the time.
One of my goals this year was to open an etsy shop, cause I luv, triple heart LUV to make stuff. Then when I see all the cuteness already on etsy, I chicken out.
I gotta "man" up!
Does this ever happen to you?
I love hair products. Lots of hair products. Elastics, flowers, creams, gels. Luv 'em!
here's the drawer in the bathroom sink
and under the sink (i save my empties, see)
now the closet basket (for when I wear my mixtress hat)
miscellaneous goods all over!
and you remember these………………..yep, still got 'em
You know what they say. Knowing is half the battle…
How does this stuff accumulate so quickly? It really needs order.
Needless to say, I've cut down on my spending to try and use up some of this stuff. My goal is to get all the products down to one basket.
But I'm sure you'll agree, it's trial and error not that I want to spend so much money trying products.
Hi, my name is Tiffany and I'm searching for a simple hair regimen.
..with recipes this month!
They are all working on the first try, imagine that! Ah-mazing (especially considering I muck stuff up).
This one is NOT hair related, it's sorta like Febreze but far less ingredients and you prolly have the stuff to make it at home. I've actually seen two over the last month, one here another here.
But I think she put it best – if your nose goes into sneezing fits with over-the-counter cleaning agents and fabric fresheners, you should definitely try this:
My bottle is considerably smaller than hers, but this was pretty tough to mess up.
Put them all together and squirt the house down!
I mist the sofas, carpets, curtains on a weekly basis and I have YET to sneeze. The smell dissipates - (fancy word right, nothing but the best here at curlworld, ha!) – fairly quickly. But the room will smell great.
Take care.
I forgot to show you all what I scored at the Goodwill..
This dresser went in my son's room, REAL wood, deep drawers… $20 can't beat that!
This little nightstand/table, it goes a little above my knee, $6.97. It's at the bottom of the stairs for candles, lightbulbs, flashlight, etc. I also added a tray for my keys and the mail. I may paint it one day, but no hurry.
I don't remember the price on this magazine/book holder but definitely under $5 AND they still sell it new in Target! (fyi…My local Goodwill gets all the Target scratch and dents)
I luv the color on this one, $10, also wood. I don't luv the handles, remind me of a smiley face, weird? This is in our extra junky room, I have a drawer for gift wrap, sewing stuff, my daughters coloring books, school supplies, etc. Just one big place to house several junk drawers. (You like how I cleaned up for the photo-op, NOT, I keeps it reals.)
This lamp, can I tell you how much I luv it, maybe $4.97. I did get the lamp shade separate, for about $2-3 bucks more, I can't remember. This lamp really added some luv to our family room. Who would've thunk it. But if you look in your home catalogs, peep how there is always a lamp in the room, bedrooms, living rooms, offices, lamps, lamps, lamps! They make the room more comfy? I don't know why but trust me, it works, try it!
Yup, more lamps.
First, the tall white one, I got both the base and the shade for $5, but I can't fall in luv with the shade. So, it's sitting around waiting for a home.
The second, I got two of the bases for the bedroom. The shades I got on clearance at Target for $7.48…I ended up taking them back, haven't found the perfect shade yet.. But one day, I might even spray paint the base, fun fun fun.
And my biggest score yet, drumroll………………….
remember this pic of the kiddos…well look waaaay in the back, we gots a flat screen TV from Goodwill! Seriously, no BULL!! It's a 42" inch Sony Bravia, previously a Target floor model, guess how much?
wait for it………….
$249.99! It's either a 40" or a 42" inch, not exactly sure, but I was sold on the price, Sony will run you some good money.
So, there you have it and that is only about 1/2 the stuff I grabbed. I overdid it in some areas too, so take a list and buy only what you need. I will probably have to donate all the stuff I'm not using right back to them. I've also Craiglisted some of the extra furniture I over purchased, most of it sold and turned a profit, I only have one extra piece that didn't. The trick is to price it to sell, get your money back and get it out of your house.
Oh well, that's me and my Goodwill.
Clean house 2010 still in full effect….90+ days to go.
Thanks for dropping by!
Deja's Hair Milk arrived this past Friday, September 10th.
I haven't used it yet, so no review, just wanted to show you the consistency as I couldn't find a photograph when I was looking.
I chose the creamy coconut scent and it's true to it's name, smells like vanilla coconut. It arrived within 7 days, which is excellent service by me!!!
I also wanted to show you the SNBE hair milk, much thicker, but it smells very nice too, like cherry vanilla.
I'd luv to hear if you have either of these products and recommendations on how to use them.
I am working on a Fall regimen..trying my best to work with what I have though. No more spending, I hope.
Be well.
You're all familiar with Moptop Maven, yes?
If not, go check her out - HERE and come right back, I'll wait.
Well, a week or so ago she did a quick video giving BeeMine Curly Butter a 2nd chance, and she did some product layering.
And I said to myself……SELF, you should give that a go.
On clean, dry hair. I layered leave-in conditioner, followed by Argan Oil and then did my twist with Moe's Magic.
And let me tell you, the gates opened and I heard music! My hair was the softest EVER! Words can't even explain, like BUTTAH, not only moisturized, soft, smooooooth, lovely. It worked on Kya's hair too and her curl pattern is completely different than mine. My hair was moisturized for days and it has honestly never felt better. I'm talking, just in time for the moisturizing Fall routine I was seeking!!!!!
Isn't it amazing how things happen just in time :)
P.S. When I grabbed her links for up top, I noticed she's hosting a giveaway NOW which closes on the 13th – for BeeMine Curly butter. Just leave a comment on this post for a chance to win! Wish me luck too, I just entered & I'm feeling lucky!!!!
Make lemonade!
And when life gives you so-so product, ROCK IT OUT! don't throw it out.
I read in the blogosphere that the PH level on the afroveda brand Carrot Seed Shampoo bar was wonkyy. And being in a recession, I thought, OH HELLS NAW!!
Ok, I really just thought, "Shoot, I don't want to throw this out, hmmpt"
So, I put it in a takeout food container and covered it in water like I do black soap to see if it would liquefy. I left it in there for a good week or two. Upon inspection when I returned it was nice and pliable, so I smooshed it down to knock out the big chunks and then I ran it through the mini chopper.
Once done, I followed the recipe I talked about here.
I used the blended carrot seed shampoo instead of the castile soap, added to the conditioner and Voila! Shampoo…again?
I shook it up and around to get the shampoo spread throughout.
I used this on Sunday, here's my review:
- It doesn't generate much lather at all
- Requires you to use a lot of product to wash your hair {good thing it's cheap}
I still have plenty of the blended shampoo left to last me a bit though :)
I have a few posts to share. The first is what happened tonight..
I made lotion – rich and creamy LOTION!
You just don't know, last week I was SCOURING the web look for an ez hair milk recipe, that contained water and didn't require me to buy some emulsifying *ish I wouldn't need for anything else. I found nothing on any of the hair boards.
I ended up biting the bullet and buying Deja's Hair Milk from BeeMine, it should be here soon.
Anyhoo, yesterday our internet was restored, yay!! I was catching up on my reader and I stumbled upon THIS link (from craftgossip.com), I had all the ingredients and a little free time tonight, so why not? Tonight was the night.
2 TBSP beeswax
1 cup of water
3/4 cup of pure oil
and you can add essential oils if you like (i have here grapefruit essential oil and don't tell anyone but also just a scented one…strawberry) this scented mix is just ok…i'd like something a lil more fall and subtle for next time.
I am the type that doesn't read manuals and I just try to figure stuff out - and as a result of me constantly skipping out this important information, I normally have to do directions and recipes twice to get it right. But NOT this time – go Tiff!
The directions on the site were PERFECT. The longest part was waiting for the beeswax to melt. And after that maybe 2 minutes to blend up this creaminess.
Perfect consistency for spreading on your skin. I always had a problem with DIY mixes that did not contain water, they were just too oily or didn't spread well. So far this feels perfect.
This style blender was good, cause you need a blender that holds 2 cups, as well as allows you to pour while it's blending. It was a bit messy to clean, but worth it!
For now this is a hit, it's got me thinking…can I use shea butter instead of the oil and make a hair lotion? or would i use shea butter instead of the beeswax? I will check the ingredients on the hair milk when it arrives and letcha know.
No more $12 Eucerin! $8 Aveeno! So long and good riddance.
If you'd like the original recipe and instructions, go here. Good Luck!
Our modem is down, and I'm jacking off someone else's signal so I gotta type fast. Verizon is due out tomorrow to check the lines, cross your fingers for me!

"The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again." Walter Benjamin
Officially, I hate the place. I'm as rude about it as I was about the pissy little villages that posh girls at university came from when I thought I came from somewhere big. It's boring, it's a desert, it's too far out of London; it has all the multicultural mix of the inner city with none of the excitement, it's a pit. But lately it's become the kind of rude that only I'm allowed to be, a kind of family rudeness.
And rather rudely, my mum's selling the house I grew up in. I go back, to fetch the last few things of mine, and then again, to help her pack books into boxes. I don't feel much when I look at the pebbledashed front of the house for the last time, but as I go up and down the stairs to the loft, bringing piles of books down from the boxroom I remember how long ago the loft extension was built and I'm slightly amazed that the bare wooden stairs should remain so sturdy, so solid. I spend a last night in my old bedroom, now decorated more tastefully than I ever had it, and it strangely doesn't feel like mine at all.
I go back so infrequently that changes there happen faster, like a time-lapse flower opening. On one visit, a jackhammer-tongued demolition vehicle is chewing at the steel-reinforced concrete of the bridge we used to cross to get from the end of the road to the green. A few visits later and new flats have already replaced the car parks whose up and down ramps helixed inside each other like DNA. The old tower blocks opposite the green where Vince (now dead) and Helen (last seen on Western road in Brighton, repping for Turnaround) lived the summer I was fifteen, were taken down layer by layer, brick by brick, too perilous a prospect for the Hackney-style dramatic blow-down.
Even the fabric of the little Y-shaped corner that was my own has rippled and shifted, mostly with houses built where once there were not houses. It's a long time since the old kosher food warehouse and factory became houses, followed by my old school. The gaps are filled in: the corner just beyond where the Ruganis' corner shop used to be, the garages at the end of the road. All now houses. Looking for links to point at, online references, I realise that one of the hardest things to find on the web is a record of the middle-distant past. If it happened five years ago and someone noted it at the time, it may well still be there. Fifteen years ago is a desert. A name changes, a school moves, and the only record left is locked up in a library, a dusty archive of local papers.
Digging out the last of my stuff I find a poster I made of photos R and I took of our mammoth graffiti mission around Enfield: all night we drove round Edmonton, Enfield, Southgate spraypainting slogans on walls and bus- shelters: against the poll tax, for freeing the Tottenham Three, even daring to add our own slogan to the A10 bridge over the railway known forever as the "Hello Auntie Jilly" bridge. The evening culminated in painting red stencilled hammer-and-sickles on the windows of the Southgate Conservative Club, then Michael Portillo's constituency headquarters. The next morning, we got up and retraced our steps, photographing our handiwork. Alas, by the time we got there the Conservative Club had already cleaned its windows.
The paint has gone, the house is sold, a new family are moving in. It's not just the past that's a foreign country.

Reviews: Latias Journey
Good Plot Marred by Excreable Execution
I will be upfront with this review. The basic plot and dazzling action sequences are the only good things about the story. In a nutshell, Latias is forced to go on the run because her hometown is destroyed by the "Ghost King". Unfortunately, this basic plot, which had the potential for a high-octane thrill ride, was completely and utterly mangled beyond all repair by Ri2. For starters, there is the extreme length over one million words. Most of this is padding and could be done away with. The other issue is that Ri2 gleefully plays Genre Roulette sometimes multiple times every chapter. This leads to a disjointed and confusing narrative where the reader is left wondering if they were supposed to be reading a horror story, thriller, Crack Fic or some unholy mash-up of genres. There is also the issue of Ri2's completely random jokes and gags in the story. Humor is acceptable in a story when it presented in the appropriate dosage and location. Ri2 arbitrarily throws in random comedic moments that do little more than confuse the already bewildered audience. Now a word before I get to the other issue, I have no problem with gore or other distasteful subject matter in fics. However, Ri2 seems to delight in transgressing as many boundaries as possible and disgusting as many people as possible. There is no other way to explain the abundance of Gratuitous Rape scenes, many of which are graphically described; extreme amounts of intense, nearly over-the-top violence and extremely gory descriptions of violence. Eventually, the reader stops caring about the characters thanks to all the horrible things they're put through. In short, I give this story 0.5 stars out of 5. The half-star is awarded simply because of the dazzling action sequences. I leave this review with a semi-accurate and irreverent description of Latias' Journey: This is Pokèmon written by a meth tweaker after watching a bunch of ultra-violent slasher flicks.
My enjoyment lasted only until I tripped over the book and hit my head on the Fridge
Let me start off by saying this: when I read this fanfiction, I loved it. It was one of my first forrays into fanfiction that wasn't garbage, and this one gave me a tangible story that hooked and drew me in. I saw my favorite characters develop and grow, and was thrust into a gripping and terrifying plot. I even stayed awake into early morning to continue reading. Everything I read seemed beautifully designed, beautifully executed. Perfect That was years ago. Now a fanfiction veteran, I can turn my jaded eyes to this fiction, and the first thing I notice were the flaws. I originally sympathized with Latias, with a poor girl who lost her home, her family, and now the boy she loves is hunted because of her. And I felt happy that she moved on and found comfort in the arms of the wonderful guy who understands her. Now, I remember that, spoiler alert, that guy is Raquaza, a.k.a. the Ghost King, a.k.a. THE GUY WHO DESTROYED LATIAS' HOME IN THE FIRST PLACE! Raquaza was severly messed up in the head to onl feel sorry for murdering hundreds of thousands because it made Latias upset, an Latias was severly messed up in the head for forgiving him on account of 3. If I can't sympathize with the heroes, how can I hope to enjoy the story? A tip to all writers: pick a few genres and stick with them. This story rides the gamut to horror to adventure to comedy to even using multiple genres in the same sentence. Some may like this, but it breaks all feeling of suspense in the horror sense and all hilarity in the comedy sense. I don't need to know how Suicine was raped into a zombie-murderer, or how Evil-Ash cuts off Brock's genitals and shoves them in his mouth, especially not when two scenes ago it was a heartfelt conversation about true love. Moodwhiplash loses its meaning. Finally, the length. The Length! Years ago, this meant that I had more words to pore over, but this means now there's more junk to sift through for relevant bits. Brevity is the soul of wit, which this fic fails to comprehend. The action scenes were nice and pretty, but I continually found I would skip them to get to dialogue. My breaking point came when I accidentaly skipped two chapters and found I missed very little. Padding doesn't help. Of course, this is all in the past. But to me, this is a great example that glamour and length doesn't equal quality.

The purpose of this package is to ease the pain of unix-lovers forced to live in a Microsoft environment. For now, this means providing an easy-to-install package of basic unix mail tools.
There are several benefits to using ports of exiting unix tools instead of building a new mail system specifically for windows. First, it means even an immature project like this one can provide and amazing set of features. Second, it means you can use the muttrc and vimrc files that you have already worked hard to get Just Perfect. And finally, you can feel confidant that the file formats used are open and well-understood.
Hopefully this package will soon have procmail, abook, some sort of biff, etc. Perhaps eventually it will even include real integration with MS apps, like calendars and such.
The source package contains a framework into which you can drop unix tool tarballs. Then this Unixmail for Windows framework will configure, build, and install these tools into a binary directory tree. The installer is a snapshot of this point in the build process. Finally, a TcL/TK script (with some Perl at the backend) helps build configuration files for all of the tools so that they will work together under Windows, and will conform to your environment.
Since the build process makes few assumtions about which version of each tool you have, it should be simple to keep this build up-to-date with the unix tool sources.

i've been curious about the raw diet for the last couple of weeks, and the posting about homecooked diet has brought me to ask about it. does anyone else do the raw diet? it's confused me as i've only just recently heard about it. i want my dog to eat healthy and i thought he did! but finding out about this raw diet is making me second guess that and also worry because it doesn't sound affordable for me. can anyone offer some information?

Loading configuration files in Node.js have always been a very tedious task, especially when you need to merge objects in cascade, load files asynchronously, load data from external sources like a database, redis, etc., read the CLI options and the environment variables, etc.
This module brings to you a powerful API for loading and merging your configuration data in a few lines.
var seraphim = ; seraphim //Default settings //NODE_ENV (development) settings //Override/merge the previous settings with any object, eg: CLI options ;
//default.json{ "web": { "log": { "type": "circular", "backup": "1week" } }}
//development.json{ "web": { "hostname": "220.127.116.11", "port": 1234 }}
Check this complete example for further details.
module.createVault([options]) : Seraphim
Returns a new Seraphim instance.
Options are:
This event is emitted multiple times, when there are no more pending tasks to load.
config is the final merged object.
Look at the end-event.js example for further details.
Emitted when an error occurs.
Seraphim#extension(extension, fn) : Seraphim
Allows you to load files with an extension different from .json using the load() function.
extension is a string or an array of strings.
fn is the function that is called when the file to load has the same
extension. It has two arguments: the path of the file and a callback. The callback must be called with two parameters: the error and the object with the configuration data.
seraphim ;
Returns the internal merged object.
Seraphim#load(resource[, onLoad]) : Seraphim
Loads and merges a resource.
resource can be a string, object or function.
It must be a valid file path.
Synchronous. Return the object to be merged. Errors thrown here are catched and forwarded to the
error event. If a falsy value is returned (null, undefined, false, etc.) it won't be merged.
Asynchronous. Use the callback to load the next resource. The first parameter is the error, the second is the object to be merged.
onLoad is a callback that is executed when
load() finishes. It has two arguments: the object to be merged and a callback. The callback allows you to execute any asynchronous function between two
load() calls. Please note that if you use the
onLoad callback the object is not merged automatically and you'll need to merge it explicitly. This callback it's also try-catched, errors thrown inside the
onLoad callback are redirected to the
error event.
onLoad function can be used to load files without an extension.
Seraphim#merge(o1[, o2]) : undefined | Object
o2 is not used,
o1 is merged with the internal object.
o2 is used,
o2 is merged with
o1 and
o1 is returned.

Ender's Game = FILMING
Is it true? After ten years of false starts and failures, is the phenomenal novel Ender's Game going to be made into a movie? According to this chair, it started filming February 27th.
We're both excited and a little worried, especially since it sounds like they're going to change the story somewhat. But we're hopeful, because not only is the director of X-Men Origins: Wolverine directing and screenwriting the film, they've got what looks like a killer cast.
Mazer Rackham will be played by Ben Kingsley, who unfortunately (unlike the character) is neither half-Maori nor from New Zealand. However, when we read the books we didn't really know what Maoris or New Zealanders looked like, so we just pictured an old, mean guy. And the fact that a Gandhi look-alike is playing the most brilliant general of the future is satisfyingly ironic.
The Dark Wunderkind is going to be portrayed by Asa Butterfield, who has had enough experience in suitably dark movies such as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas to carry this role. Valentine, Ender's loving sister, will be played by Abigail Breslin, which was a great casting move, and Jimmy Pinchak will play the Worst, Scariest Older Brother in History, Peter Wiggin. Petra Arkanian will be played by rising star Hailee Steinfeld, who did an amazing job in True Grit and seems a perfect fit for the Battle School commander Petra.
But perhaps the most exciting casting move is that sci-fi legend Harrison Ford! Will! Play! Colonel! Hyrum! Graff! GLEEK TIME!
Please, Summit Entertainment. Don't screw this one up.
Are you excited for Ender's Game the movie?

Hello All!
So exams have well and truly kicked in, and I know a lot of you are also feeling the pain!
And I wanted to say thank you for all the great comments you've been leaving recently and that, I am reading them and "moderating" them, but I may take a while to reply simply because I'm not being the overactive blogger that I usually am! (five times a day, anyone?)
But I've read some pretty interesting stuff. eg, the suggestions for actresses to play Vivienne W in the recently announced biopic, from Fashion Lolita (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and True Supermodel who thinks Sophie Dahl would also do a good job.
And the Vogue debate has been hotting up!
Dulcie is in favour to get A Shulman out and Hadley Freeman in, whereas Roller Girl is standing in the UK Vogue Editor's defence and finds her slight frumpiness refreshing. Personally, I'm now rather torn! I am however, thinking that the 'Vogue Debate' could make for a good post, Its the new Size Zero Debate dahhlings, which quite frankly isn't really much of a debate after 18 months of headlines. So thats in the pipeline..
The results to the quiz are coming before the end of this week, as well as two new posts which have yet to be finished. So hold tight, but in the mean time, have a little
flick click through my archives which are ever increasing... I'm now celebrating 10 months of Discotheque Confusion, hoorah!
Anyway, good luck to everyone else with their noses in revision guides, and remember to counteract it with plenty of nose in the fridge moments, as I have!
S xx
PS, One day til Ms Hilton starts her
summercamp prison sentence, so lets await the feelgood gossip!

I think all Fashion editors should have a defined style. Carrine R from Paris Vogue is very rock and roll slighly chilled while Italian Vogue editor and chief is very glamour lite.
Anna Wintour's style is very hard to define and she comes across as a bit style challenged.
As far for the editor from British Vogue, well I don't have a problem with her weight. Isabella Blow was a very fashionable woman who was slighly plump but she had her own type of personal style.

Newborn & baby health centre
Babies and constipation
A baby's bowel movements may not be as regular as those in older children. Constipation is more common in formula fed babies than those who are breast-fed.
In rare cases, prolonged, severe constipation can have a medical cause, such as some sort of blockage.
Hard stools or poo are also possible.
Constipation defined
There is no medical harm in the stool staying in the body for a long time, and the frequency of your baby's bowel movements does not really define true constipation. True constipation occurs when the baby's stools cause significant difficulty and discomfort when being passed, because they are very dense and hard. This definition excludes the baby who has soft, easy-to-pass stools once a week, even if they seem to strain a lot in the process.
Tips for concerned parents
- Try a different brand of formula if you're bottle-feeding. Constipation should never be considered a reason to discontinue breastfeeding.
- Give some extra water between feeds, especially in hot weather. If you are using formula milk, do not dilute it - follow the directions given by the manufacturer.
- Remember that most babies with infrequent bowel movements are not truly 'constipated' and nothing needs to be changed.
When to worry about baby's constipation
Seek medical advice if infrequent, hard stools seem to be causing significant discomfort for your baby. However, keep in mind that infrequent but soft, easy-to-pass stools are not constipation and rarely require intervention.

Government guarantees funding for EU students in 2017-18
EU students applying for college and university places for the 2017-18 academic year will be eligible for student loans and grants for the duration of their course, the government has announced. This means students entering FE next year will be eligible for the same support as current students, even if the UK leaves the EU during their studies. This includes advanced learner loans, as well as student loans and support for students taking HE programmes in FE colleges.
The news come just over a week after home secretary Amber Rudd announced plans to consider for the first time whether student immigration rules should be tailored to the quality of the course and the quality of the educational institution.
"I'm passionately committed to making sure our world-leading institutions can attract the brightest and the best. But a student immigration system that treats every student and university as equal only punishes those we should want to help," the home secretary told the Conservative Party conference. "This isn't about pulling up the drawbridge. It's about making sure students that come here, come to study."
'Important stability'
Announcing this morning that prospective college and university students from the EU applying for next year's courses would receive the same support as current students, universities minister Jo Johnson acknowledged that the referendum results had brought uncertainty.
He added: "This latest assurance that students applying to study next year will not only be eligible to apply for student funding under current terms, but will have their eligibility maintained throughout the duration of their course, will provide important stability for both universities and students."
Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University and College Union, said she was pleased the government had clarified the situation, but did not believe this measure could "undo the damage that various proposals floated at the Conservative Party conference last week may have done via headlines around the world". She added: "The government needs to think very carefully about the message it wants to send to the rest of the world at this challenging time."
Julian Gravatt, assistant chief executive at the Association of Colleges, said the annoucnement was "reassuring to prospective students and helpful to colleges, especially as they have already started recruiting for September 2017". "Many EU nationals enrolling in college already live here.The education and training students get from college helps UK companies and public services fill skills shortages which provides wider benefits. The EU exit negotiations create lots of uncertainty about the future so it is helpful to have some short-term certainty," he added.
In August, the Treasury announced that it would "guarantee" the next round of funding from the European Social Fund (ESF) beyond Brexit – as long as contracts were signed before the Autumn Statement.
