Right out of the box, this machine is a beauty! The Cricut Cake Mini is the same size and has the same capabilities as the Cricut Create (which is a Cricut Expression in a smaller size). I bought a gum paste mix from Wilton and followed the instructions on the can and had no problems, except for adding the coloring in without gloves and turning my hands red.
I added my tropical colored (supposed to be pink) gum paste to my lightly greased 6x12 mat
I cut out a flower at various sizes from the Cake Basics cartridge and the machine cut like butter. Notice how much gum paste I had left over on my mat. If the images are properly thought out, you can really get a lot of cuts from one 6x12 mat.
I also made green gum paste and cut out swirls at various sizes; however, I did not get pictures of that step. The machine comes with a brush to clean the rollers and a basket that holds the blade in the dishwasher. Everything cleaned up really nice and I do not have one bad thing to say about this machine.
Here is where my frustration hit all time highs, the cake baking and the rolling of the fondant. I started with Duff's cake mix.
Followed the instructions on the box and the whole cake just crumbled into pieces, it was horrible. Needless to say, I had to start my whole baking process over. Next, I used Duff's pre colored fondant
This was my first time ever using fondant to cover a cake, so I did not know what to expect. That fondant was a solid rock when I took it out of the container. I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds in hopes of making it more flexible. I kneaded and kneaded and rolled and rolled for a half hour until I had no strength left in my arms.
Here is how the cake turned out, my Cricut cuts hid the imperfections in my fondant :)
Over the past year, I have watched several You Tube videos of people using their "big" Cricut Cake machines and nobody used their whole mat to make their cuts. Along with the wasted mat space, the size of the machine, and the price of the machine, it was not worth the purchase.
Provocraft did a good job with the Cricut Cake Mini. I talked about this machine before I even purchased it and everyone knew that was my only reason to stand in line on that cold Black Friday morning, and I am glad I did. The Cake Basics cartridge alone is great. I will use that for both paper crafting and cake decorating. Did I mention this machine is a beauty? It looks great on my counter top.
I recently watched a video of Tammy Skinner using her Cricut Cake Mini to make star shaped tortilla chips, I can't wait to try that one.

These pair very well with my 12W SE tube amp.
They only cost US$199 for a pair.
If you get them from Amazon, free supersaver shipping is included in the price.
These speakers have a very flat frequency response and have accurate and natural tone and also image very well. There is bass at the low end and it is tight and controlled.
Their sonic strengths are comparable with other more expensive speakers in the region of >US$1000 speakers.

Here's Egan's summary of it:When Yalda was almost three years old, she was entrusted with the task of bearing her grandfather into the forest to convalesce.Dario had been weak and listless for days, refusing to move from the flower bed where the family slept. Yalda had seen him this way before, but it had never lasted so long. Her father had sent word to the village, and when Doctor Livia came to the farm to examine him Yalda and two of her cousins, Claudia and Claudio, stayed close to watch the proceedings.After squeezing and prodding the old man all over with more hands than most people used in a day, Doctor Livia announced her diagnosis. "You're suffering from a serious light deficiency. The crops here are virtually monochromatic; your body needs a broader spectrum of illumination.""Ever heard of sunlight?" Dario replied caustically."Sunlight is far too blue," Doctor Livia countered, "too fast for the body to catch. And the light from the fields is all sluggish red. What you're lacking lies between those extremes; a man of your age needs umber and gamboge, saffron and goldenrod, jade and viridian."In Yalda's universe, light has no universal speed and its creation generates energy.On Yalda's world, plants make food by emitting their own light into the dark night sky.As a child Yalda witnesses one of a series of strange meteors, the Hurtlers, that are entering the planetary system at an immense, unprecedented speed. It becomes apparent that her world is in imminent danger - and that the task of dealing with the Hurtlers will require knowledge and technology far beyond anything her civilisation has yet achieved.Only one solution seems tenable: if a spacecraft can be sent on a journey at sufficiently high speed, its trip will last many generations for those on board, but it will return after just a few years have passed at home. The travellers will have a chance to discover the science their planet urgently needs, and bring it back in time to avert disaster.Orthogonal is the story of Yalda and her descendants, trying to survive the perils of their long mission and carve out meaningful lives for themselves, while the threat of annihilation hangs over the world they left behind.And true to Egan's geeky nature, there's a page where he explains the math behind this altered set of physical laws, complete with diagrams and equations.AdvertisementRocket image via 3Yen.com[Greg Egan, via Jonathan Strahan on Twitter]

Definitely. But the comment was about the 77% being surprising and contrary to reality to Chan's detractors (who often complain of his messy performances and mistakes). I was just reminding everyone what the criteria are for success in this thread. This means that 23%, almost one quarter, of Chan's quad attempts are failures (not rotated, falls, or otherwise earning -3 GOE), and the 77% that he lands could include some pretty big mistakes as long as he stands and rotates them. I'd say that sounds consistent with my vision of Chan and his quad. ETA: I also don't think this poll counts pops as attempts (correct me if I'm wrong), so if we include the number of anticipated quads in Chan (or anyone else's) program that he didn't try to rotate four times, his success rate goes down more. To be fair to him though, this count does not include Nationals, and I think he typically skates cleaner there. Plushenko and Joubert must have over 100 quads if we include Nats, also.
Falls are not restricted to quads. I think Chan messes up his 3A as often as he messes up a quad. He also has a fairly large number of random falls. There was another thread (something about Chan) where I checked the number of falls in several prominent skaters' programs and Chan way ahead of others. I don't remember what it was about and the spreadsheet is on my other computer. In any case, 77% is very respectable and we wouldn't expect anything less from our world champion. No, popped jumps (3T, 2T or 1T) were not considered quad attempts for the sake of this project. However, looking over the spreadsheet I can tell you that Chan "did not attempt a quad" once in the past two seasons - the SP at SC this fall. This certainly goes to his credit. Only ISU competitions count towards this project. For one thing, it is not always easy to get data for national competitions (maybe for Canda it's on line, but not necessarily other nations). For another, natioanl judges are sometimes more lenient on rotation and on GoE, so they shouldn't count (just as the scores don't count towards world records). It is not only Natioanls that weren't counted - there's Russian Cup competitions, French Masters and other local competitions which I did not consider. Something else to note - of the top 9 (still searching for #10) there are 6 European guys, 2 Canadiand and one Japanese. For all the dominance of Japanese men, only Hanyu (who is very young) and Takahashi (who is very experienced - any very good) have a reliable quad. No American skater on the list.
Chan's quad is one of his better jumps, so I'm not too surprised at his success rate there. If we were looking at triple axels, however...
Note that Joubert, Plushenko, Menshov, Voronov and Fernandez all have better success rates, as did the retired Alexei Yagudin and Timothy Goebel.
But we also have to remember, Chan did not start attempting quads in his programs until the 10/11 season - just over 2 years. So to have done as many as he has, and so well, is quite spectacular.
My point was that his success rate, well certainly impressive, isn't as high as as that of the older guys' - so while the quad may be one of his best jumps, the numbers still don't suggest that he's stronger in this regard than certain other skaters. Considering how long some of these men have been doing quads, I'd argue that's more impressive than Chan's numbers; as I wrote earlier, it would still be years for Chan to get anywhere near the numbers of Joubert and Plushenko - and Yagudin's too, although the latter had a relatively short career. Among the younger guys, Fernandez started doing quads in 2009-10, and his success rate is quite impressive. Since he has two quads that he can do fairly consistently, he should have an easier time adding to his total than Chan.
The reason I pointed out that Chan has only been doing them for 2 years, is because the first few competitions, his success rate was (understandably) low. It's only been really consistent since Canadians 2011 (which isn't included in this rate). if you think that he's done 2 GP, GPF, Worlds, 4CC, and WTT, that's about 15-18 competitions (give or take) where he's landed almost 30 quads. I still see that as rather impressive.
Thanks. I remember the second free program, but I didn't remember that there weren't six skaters in every discipline. I actually miss the second free program thing since it was a chance to usually see the previous year's free program again, but I guess it was too tiring for the skaters.
Plushenko's accomplishments in this sport are quite mind blowing really. His Terminator like ability to come back to Olympic competition is astounding. And that he is likely heading into his 4th Olympics with a very good chance of a medal is crazy. His strategy and determination in fighting through / skating through injuries is beyond inspiring, as are his competitive drive and his competitive nerves. And his owning the quad is - clearly - 2nd to none. Brian Joubert may be in the same ballpark for number of quads - but Plushenko was able to offer a much more complete package / more complete programs and win way way more times while doing about the same number of quads. I had the chance to see him at 2001 Worlds and at the 2010 Olympics and I am in awe of him as a skater, as an athlete and as a human. When I watch him skate t is with a deep respect and appreciation. However, for those who hold up these quad statistics (and even winning statistics for that matter) as if they are the be all and end all in determining the worth, success, and contribution of skaters - I would suggest you are missing a great deal of what is incredible about figure skating. For instance - there are those who sneer at Chan's measly quad numbers, or the fact that he didn't start quads until a few years ago - or scoff that he will come nowhere near Plushenko's numbers for quads before he retires. But for me, I am grateful to be able to see Chan's edge work and the quality and the attention to detail in all of his skating. His footwork is mind boggling to me and just beautiful to witness. If more quads is what had to be given up in order to have the rest of what he does, then as a fan I am happy with that! I have seen Patrick Chan skate live a number of times and it is breathtaking IMO. Even if what comes along with that are falls as he gets his programs, jumps, choreography, head together - I still wouldn't make any kind of trade. Takahashi will never come near Plushenko's quad total - but as much as I admire Plushenko - if I had to choose - I would choose to watch him over Plushenko any day. I have seen him skate live as well and it was a true joy - even when he wasn't skating his best. And if we could magically trade even just a bit of his wonderful performance ability or musicality for more quads or better consistency - I would never do it! Yagudin didn't skate as long as Plushenko - and therefore didn't win as much or land as many quads - but with way fewer competitive years under his belt -FOR ME- there is much more to remember and admire in his work than in Plushenko's. Of course, as always, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But perhaps those who INSIST that these numbers are any more than a part of the picture might consider there are other factors in one's greatness as a skater and there is no PERIOD about any one view or any one aspect. I know there are many many posters who take quads for what they are - one element - but others - - not so much.
YMMV but I don't see anyone doing this. People are discussing quads exclusively in this thread because this thread is very clearly labeled as a discussion of quad success rates. I didn't see anyone saying "and btw, so and so is also the best skater because of his success rate." There are plenty of other threads/polls in this section of the forum for discussion of the best overall men's skater, where indeed, other accomplishments, skating skills, and artistry are discussed along with quad/jump success. If this were a thread about who has achieved the most level 4 spins, for example, I would not expect people to discuss who was the best jumper, nor would I expect people to discuss the other points of skating in here.
I disagree. I think the main difference is that Plushenko is a much, much tougher competitor mentally, and thus considerably more consistent than Joubert. Nobody has done that in this thread. This is meant to be a fun comparison and topic based on a project umronnie has decided to take on. It is not a discussion of who's the greatest of all time. Don't turn it into another opportunity to lecture people about the greatness of Patrick Chan; in the context of quad jumps, there are skaters who have accomplished more. And don't go on a rant suggesting that people who make that observation are OMG haterz who only care about jumps. Nobody has said that. As cherub has pointed out to you, this thread is about quad jumps and that's all it is. The skaters with the most successful quads, based on the criteria umronnie explained, are Plushenko and Joubert. The skaters with a relatively large number of quads who have/had the best success rate are Voronov, Yagudin and Goebel. You can't seriously argue with those specific points, try as you might. This is not a thread about footwork, edgework, choreography, or why some people are fans of Patrick Chan. Go start one of those if that's what you wish to discuss.
This is definately not about who is the greatest skater of all times, or even the greatest at a certain time-point. This thread is about quad jumps and nothing but. I see nobody claiming that Konstantin Menshov is twice the skater Takahashi is because he has landed twice as many quads in his career. In fact, a few of the skaters on the top-10 (OK, top-9) list have never accomplished anything signifcant on world level (Menshov, Voronov) while other current skaters, not even on this list, have medaled at major competition - take Hanyu, with 15 quads to his name and his WR in the SP, or Amodio - former European champion, who beat #1 Joubert, #3 Menshov, #5 Frenandez and #7 Verner for the title, while accumulating only 6 successful quads in his career. I started this project when I read that Joubert and Plushenko had landed 100 quads in international competition. That number boggled my mind and I set out to find out whether the claim was true. I love the quad because it embodies the highest athletic achievment in my favorite sport (not necessarily skating achievement) and since my focus is on figure skating as a sport I am interested in athletic achievements. I think that the ISU should promote this - maybe check out the quad count against their official documentation (especially that for the pro-COP era) and do something to commermorate the event when either Joubert or Plushenko hits the 100 mark - simply because it highlights the athletic side of the sport. The next great achievement will be the first skater to land 5 quads in a competition - I am counting on Fernandez and Orser to come up with a 2-quad SP and a 3-quad LP. Wouldn't it be something if he did it in Sochi - like Asada and her 3 3As in Vancouver?
And on that note, let's give a shout-out to Min Zhang first clean quad in Olympic competition First clean quad in a short program (1999 Four Continents)
If one considering how short amount of the time and distance for the preparation of a quad jump in a program, Chan is certainly outstanding in his success rate compare with the old guys, including plushenko who needs long, long glide for the jump. I agree that Fernandez could easily surpass Chan.
That's a great idea! If not the ISU, then I hope the French or Russian federation does that. And maybe the Russians need to take a look at why they have guys who are on the all-time quad-jumpers list who have no international medals - is it that they land the quad consistently, but not other jumps? Or that they lack in non-jumping technical elements, or programs components? (Probably all of the above, but that conversation is not for this thread). I just think that breaking it down the way you have is really interesting, and there's lots of ways to play with this data that could be very helpful if the federations were paying attention.
And first skater to land 3 quads in an Olympic program I'm certainly not going to sit through every quad attempt each guy has made with a timer to measure how long the setup was . That said, I'm not sure Chan's setup is that much shorter/more difficult than everyone else's. Also - IMO, the most important criteria for the success of a jump are rotation and landing (we can throw in correct technique, too, I guess). That's not to say I want to see jumps telegraphed, but if a skater needs an extra couple of seconds of setup to get a good quad, I have no problem with that. Since I'd rather not make this thread a debate on the merits of Patrick Chan's skating, let's leave it at that, okay?
If we were looking at just IJS quads, we could look at the scores for each attempt to see who got the best GOEs. But that effort would be complicated by the fact that both the base values for the quads and the values of the GOEs have changed over the years. Otherwise, if we're each looking at our own measures of quality -- setup, height, distance, air position, landing position, etc. -- we'll each have our own subjective opinions and there would be no way to quantify. Judges may be similarly subjective in their evaluation of GOEs, but their numbers are official and the average counts on the record.
Agree ...when I've finished what I have to say about it like you have. No one was ever using a timer measuring the setup time of a jump. That was not the question. When someone's jump could fit into the music, it could be felt shorter in setup time. When someone needs to ignore the music for the preparation of a jump, particularly a hard jump like quad, it stands out as if this person needs more time for a jump. I do have a little problem with someone using too much time than the music flow allowed for a setup for the quad jump, like Daisuke Takahashi's new LP.
Perhaps the number of quads divided by number of years competing might give a truer picture of the averages, if this hasn't been done.
Well, yes and no. It's probably easier to land them for skaters who are in their early twenties, haven't been through years of senior competition and haven't dealt with the effects of that on their bodies. Older skaters also tend to do fewer events per season. I imagine Joubert's average per year would have been higher a few years ago, and Plushenko's as well.
For the early quad kings, there were also less opportunities to compete - the GPF had not been formalized, and there was no 4CC (although there was an extra Olys in there!). Plus, as has already been discussed, in the early days, before CoP there was less incentive to do quads, other than as icing on the cake so to speak, and for personal development. You could win without them. Now, if your competitors are doing them, you pretty much have to for the points.
Plushy landed cca in 100 quads up to 2006 in all competitions, not only in internationally competitons.( wikipedia) He was 23 y.o.

Knowledge economics and underlying weaknesses in premises governing local policies on technology
In the literature, the local dimension of technology policies is often analysed from one dominant point of view, that of the localised character of knowledge externalities. It is nonetheless widely acknowledged that the globalisation process in the 'knowledge economy' has implicitly taken on a double (global and local) dimension. But even when this principle has been taken into account, problems still arise when it comes to determining any precise geographical limits. This paper seeks to question the present basis of public policies driving the technological field at the local level. The first part of this paper presents a critical appraisal of localisation analyses with regard to innovative activities exclusively based on the role of knowledge. This discussion leads us to recommend a methodological re-positioning in terms of 'proximity economies'. In our second part, we endeavour to show that the former stress on local dimensions has brought about a 'localist' drift, which is identifiable if only through the insufficiencies of the line of argument upon which these policies are being founded. This leads us, in our third part, to show, on the basis of examples, that identifying the knowledge premises behind local technological policies will require fresh research, most certainly in a more institutional direction.

Good Evening Garlic Fans
I had expected to put up an Editor's post this evening, to explain our absence yesterday (due to a severe flu bug thing going around), however, we received much sadder news.
The Aunt that we have been caretaker to, who we made numerous references to, in our trials-and-tribulations, has passed away, at the age of 97.
She is the end of an era, the last of her siblings to pass.
Born to Syrian immigrants, she lived a rich, full life, living independently, until age 90 (and, fighting off a purse-snatcher, at, around, 87 or 88).
She was a prolific baker, sewer, knitter, and giver, always there, always giving of herself.
It is sad, but we know now, she is in a better place.
With this, we can't say, for sure, when we will resume posting, certainly not over the next few days.
So, busy yourself by running down the left sidebar, and read the highlighted post, or explore some of the other great writers out there via our Links Section.

Find out if your resume will land you in the resume black hole, or make you stand out. Get our top 5 resume tips now!
The 21st-century workplace is a brave new world—new technology, new ways to connect and do business, and new demands on workers. To stay competitive—and employable—you'll need to anticipate and embrace these changes.
So here are five predictions for business and careers in 2012, and some tips for making these forecasts work for you:
1. Continuous employment: multiple jobs and employers
Forget about spending a lifetime at the same firm and retiring with a gold watch. Younger Baby Boomers, born just when single-employer careers and pensions were beginning to wane, reported holding 11 jobs on average between the ages of 18 to 44, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data.
Technology's accelerating this multiple-job trend, easing the move to virtual organizations as people can more easily work remotely or as freelancers. In the near term, until the economy improves, businesses can be expected to postpone hiring decisions in favor of retaining contractors.
The savvy response: Keep your eye on the big picture—your long-range goals for your work life and career—even as you aim to excel in your current position. The multiple-job trend means you don't have to settle for a dead end.
Some workers are riding this trend by working several jobs at once, what Nancy Shenker, founder and CEO of the ON Switch, calls being a "patchwork professional." This can provide you with an employment safety net, along with opportunities to expand your skills, networks and income.
Fuel your journey with a commitment to lifelong learning (see Tip No. 4). Stay flexible, and view each job as a stepping-stone on your career path. If you concentrate on doing your best, you will undoubtedly discover opportunities for learning and professional growth.
2. Tiny but mighty: small businesses and self-employment will drive job creation
During recessions, business startups boom and small businesses create the most jobs. Many workers laid off during this recession are choosing self-employment. Keep an eye on healthcare and social services (where the BLS projects 26 percent of all new jobs will be created through 2018) and information technology for employment growth and competitive salaries.
As the number of solo workers grows, so will their need for business services, such as tech support aimed at small and medium-sized business.
The savvy response: Today's business climate may be perfect to launch your own business-to-business company. Cash in on skills you already have—marketing, IT, accounting—to serve small businesses and startups.
Not ready to go it alone just yet? Join a business-networking group to test the waters. Check out local chapters of SCORE, a group dedicated to educating and mentoring entrepreneurs and small business owners, for advice and training.
3. Women rising: how working women will impact the marketplace
Women will continue to lead in the workplace and on college campuses. Women-owned companies are growing in number at twice the rate of all U.S. firms, create or maintain 23 million jobs, and contribute nearly $3 trillion to the economy. And women are earning more higher degrees than men.
Women-owned businesses are good places to work, too, as studies show that companies with women at the helm tend to be more financially successful than comparable male-led companies.
The savvy response: Take a look at women-owned businesses for employment and expansion opportunities. Of course, many women still work the "second shift," taking the lead in home and family responsibilities. But businesses that cater to working women or dual-career families can be growth opportunities: specialized childcare, elder care, personal shopping, or food/meal services.
4.Education matters: lifelong learning will be vital to career success
In the global, technologically connected economy, employers can find skilled workers almost anywhere. To compete and stay employable, workers must be lifelong learners who continue to develop higher-order thinking skills and demonstrate that they can adopt new technology.
The savvy response: Take charge of your career's trajectory. Inventory your skill set regularly, and seek education and training to fill any gaps.
Take a look at how your work skills align with those that will be needed in the future. Remember, the complex problems in today's workplace require teamwork and collaboration. The ability to understand concepts across multiple disciplines, or "transdisciplinarity," will be increasingly valuable, so cultivate your curiosity and openness to new learning opportunities.
Develop the tools you'll need to broaden your scope for employability or for offering new products and services. And join professional or business associations to keep up-to-date in your field.
5. Showing up for work: face time will become a precious commodity
Mobile and wireless technology now allow work environments to be set up practically anywhere, and people no longer need to commute to a physical location for meetings or to do business. In fact, according to a recent poll, more than one in six people in 22 countries report they telecommute regularly.
Instead, virtual collaboration will grow and become more sophisticated. In the current fast-paced work environment, expect face-to-face meetings to be deliberately brief, tightly focused, and rare.
The savvy response: The global marketplace works both ways: savvy workers can now sell their skills and expertise worldwide and work from anywhere. Master your mobile communication technology to market yourself or your business. Develop a talent for developing trust and authority in the online environments where more meetings and projects will be based in the future.
If you can become the go-to person in your office when it comes to reaching company goals with technology, you'll find new opportunities calling for these in-demand skills will come your way… at your current job or beyond.

If you're ever wondered what happens after "happily ever after," well, you're in luck.
Jon Cozart, a.k.a. "Paint," has uploaded a song called "After Ever After" to YouTube and we can see why it's suddenly going viral.
Paint has four Disney princesses singing about their lives in the modern world — Ariel is dealing with pollution, Jasmine is troubled the war on terror, Pocahontas died of disease and Belle is being charged with counts of bestiality.
What do you think? Is it a hit? It's climbing the iTunes comedy charts as we speak. Lyrics below.
If you've ever wondered why
Disney's tales all end in lies
Here's what happened after all their dreams came true
I loved being princess down in — this beautiful ocean blue
But mermaids are going missing — they end up in someone's stew
So just try to put yourself in — to somebody else's gills
You're killing my ecosystem — with fishing and oil spills
Thank you BP, thank you BP
The British are killing, oil is spilling
Now I can't see… MY EYES!
Chinamen feast on Flounder's fins
Plus the Japanese killed all my whale friends
Oceans are browning, I think I'm drowning
Thanks to BP
Hey, I'm OK, but I'm slightly scared
My husband's a mark for the War on Terror
Aladdin was taken by the CIA
We're not Taliban
You've got the wrong man
In Guantanamo Bay
Prince Ali, where could he be, drowning in wawa
Interrogation from the nation of the "free"
Bin Laden's taken the fall
We're not trained pilots at all
Jafar went crazy and no one put up a fuss
We're for freedom, Genie can vouch for us
Bush was crazy, Obama's lazy, al-Qaeda's not in this country
Set free my Prince Ali
A whore! A whore!
A whore, a whore, a whore!
This town's gone wild since I married Adam
They think I'm going straight to hell
But the charges laid on me
Of bestiality
Could wind up getting me thrown in a cell
No, I'm overrun by mad men
I hear they plan to burn me at the stake
They legit believe I'm Satan
And now I hear that PETA's gonna take my beast away
After John Smith traveled back to England
I helped my people cultivate the fields
More English, French, and Spaniards came to visit
And they greeted us with guns and germs and steel
They forced us into unknown lands of exile
They pillaged, raped, and left us all for dead
So now I'm far more liberal with a weapon
When I separate their bodies from their heads
Have you ever held the entrails of an English guy?
Or bit the beating hearts of Spanish men?
Can you shoot an arrow in some French guy's eyeball?
Can you paint with the red colors in these men
I can murder if I please
Cause I'm dying of disease
I can paint with the red colors in these men
Thanks to BP
Where's Prince Ali?
I've got STDs

Photographs from Iraq
by Cpl. Reynaldo Leal, USMC/0311
Cpl. Leal sent these photographs to Afterimage Gallery back in early 2006. He is now safely back in Texas.
My name is Reynaldo Leal and I am an infantryman in the Marine Corps. I was born and raised in Edinburg Texas, son of two Mexican immigrants. I've learned photography through reading books and in the early stages through pretty much mirroring other people's work. I always wanted to be that war time photographer... the one with the cover photo on TIME. When I graduated high school I had the choice of going to a photography institute or joining the Marine Corps... I have no regrets. I've learned so much in the Corps, and to be honest I've had this world opened to me that many photographers wish they could see. I've always had a love for photography and figured that I'd be finishing up school by now... but duty called. I am currently in Iraq with 3rd Battalion 5th Marines conducting combat patrols through the villages along the Euphrates. I always take my camera with me (a Canon 20D). I would like to share my photographs with you and hopefully you'll like them as much as my platoon does. I'll be here for another six months. Thank you.
Cpl. Leal emailed us some images recently, and we thought his work would be an arresting addition to the website. His email address is

Amping up on your skincare
I can see and feel that my skin is a lot plumper after using this item with the Skin Inc. serums. The best part about this is that you can use this with other serums or sleeping masks. Good product to try if you want to go beyond the creams and serums.

OK, need to use longer to see any effect
I used to do red light therapy which really improved my skin a lot. Hopefully this can do the same, not sure if the intensity would be enough to make significant improvements. But, this should come rechargeable, instead of using batteries and you really need to take off the batteries otherwise they will only last 2 usage and the batteries are dead. The red light is very glaring, even when I really shut my eyes especially when it's on the forehead and around the cheek. Need to find those safety eye goggles that facial places use for light or laser therapy.

Skin Inc Optimiser Voyage
I have heard and read so much about this device. Finally I gotten one for myself. It helps to stimulate the blood flow on my face after using it for a massage and enhance the absorption of the serum! My complexion was seen smoother after using it! My best investment!

Worth it
On day 4 and I'm liking this - I feel like I am seeing results. The red light & heat emitting from the device can make your skin feel abit warm and prickly. Other than that, I can see that my pores are smaller, my acne and spots seems to be improving. I'm using Skin Inc serums and other water base moisturiser with this optimiser. Skin seems to be more hydrated as it absorbs the serum and moisturiser better. UPDATE: Been using it for slightly over 4 months now - Skin feels tighter and smoother as well as I think the serums really absorbs better with the red light treatment. I use a custom mix, my oil control has improved on my T-zone areas and my pigmentation has lightened up. Definitely recommended - an investment for your skin.

Skin inc tools that help anti aging. I did't see much different in my skin condition and the person did ask me to stop using if have pimple. Fortunately I bought while Luxola having promotion price. Hope to see the result my face are clear.

The moment I open up the package I was disappointed. It doesn't comes with a built in battery it works with AAA battery. The material feels and looks like cheap plastic. The design and feel of it turns me off. For a product that costs $269, I don't think I should feel this way. I am still testing out on it but the product design just takes off too many points from this gadget. I need to mention this is not waterproof, you have to clean the applicator with a wet wipe each time you use it. And it doesn't come with a carry case. I don't think it's worth the money. Maybe wait for a newer release.

Money well spent!
This. This is just pure awesome. I bought this because I finished my facial package and thought, why not? I'll just do my mini facial at home! My serums get absorb better and is smoother also! It works with water based products as well! I usually use my sheet mask and after 20 mins, use the optimiser all over my face for about 10 minutes.
Was this review helpful?
I'm wondering if my gadget is a bit faulty? Sometimes it doesn't last for 10 min and switches off after 8 min. And the on off button is indeed very hard to press! Only can be used with very watery facial product that doesn't dry fast. . That's the limitation.

Spa treatment at home
It's like a spa treatment at home, I like how this product is very easy to use and that its pocket sized so it won't take up a lot of space! After the first time using it I could see a minor difference in my skin it seems a little lighter and silkier ~ I believe in the long term it's will give me great results
Was this review helpful?
Good results, inconvenient mechanics.
Got this at a discuounted price (thank you very much, Luxola!) and I'm pretty astonish of the result it produce - my skin looks more supple and lifted after each use. The only down side is the red light being too glaring, have to close my eyes whenever I use it. Just to mention that the on/off button is a bit hard to reach, hence it has caused some inconvenience for me when I want to start it...or maybe its just my machine issue. :(

ReplyDeleteI'm excited to be a part of this! I taught my first year last year and needed to read your post Deb. I'm one of those who have known since I was little that I wanted to teach but I've been tempted to doubt that last year and here recently. Thank you for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteI am going into my seventh year teaching. I feel a ZILLIION times more confident than I did six years ago, but I learn new things every year from other teachers- whether they've been teaching longer than me or not! I want to get in on this linky party!! I am a beginning blogger and have just started the journey this summer. Unfortunately (in true perfectionist-obsessive-teacher fashion), I don't know how to do everything or understand everything related to blogging yet even though I want to be great at it, like NOW :) I was just reading something about how to link up, but I still don't get it. I use wordpress... could you give me some tips about how to join in on this linky party and share the love?!
SaraRepliesSara, I have a really good resource on Pinterest with a lot of technology stuff on it and how to get started with blogging. I pinned all of it my first year of blogging to learn how to do things. The url for the Technology Tips and Tricks is here: http://pinterest.com/teacherdebra/technology-tips-and-tricks/. Hope it helps out a little bit!

hey guy, i need help in a very troubling matter. I want to make a textbox with a specific style, within this style a set of images as background parts, how can i attach these images to the custom control as whenever i take the .dll file and add it to the toolbar the images do not appear. So i tried to make them as resource files and their property as embedded in .resx file, so how to make the css style background image url to be linked to any of those image.
thanks in advance
I want to have the background of my masterpage (the master page for all of my .aspx pages) have a sort of gradient. I imagine the only way I can do that is with an image. Or maybe even some other design, but I want to move away from the "solid color" background.
Is the easiest way to do this just to make an image and set that as the background? What image size should I make it, because some users could possibly have the normal aspect ratio, or maybe a widescreen? What should I make it like so that it looks good on all computers?
Thanks in advance. :)
I have a panel like this. I have an image control inside this panel that I have put as a background image for the panel using the style where I adjusting the z-indexes.
This works fine!
I have put a label and a hyperlink like this in the
. The label can be seen but not the hyperlink which is the problem. I have tried to put a z-index to the hyperlink but that does not help.
How is it possible to see the hyperlink here also ? Thanks!
.stretch2 { position:relative; width:998px; height:35px; top: 0px; left: 0px; } .stretch2 img { position: absolute; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:99; top: 0px; left: 0px; } .stretch2 span { position:relative; text-align:center; width:172px; z-index: 100; font-size: 1.2em; color: #ffff66; font-family: Arial, 'Microsoft Sans Serif'; top: 0px; left: 3px; } <asp:Panel ID="Panel6" CssClass="stretch2" runat="server" Width="100%"> <asp:Image ID="Image16" runat="server" AlternateText="" ImageUrl="~/images/setImage.jpg" ForeColor="Black" /> <table style
I have played around with the BackgroundImage option in C# and it works very well. My question is related to having the user select the image that will be the "Skin". Does anyone have or know where to find a good sample application that does something like this?
Thank you!
I would like to continue my background image to the right end of the content holder and keep the menu items over on the left of the content holder. Does this make sense? For example, my menu items are dynamically loaded. Sometimes I have only two (Guest and Member). Right now my background image ends rignt after the "Member" item but I want the image to continue across the page. It is important to note that setting the "width" property in the CSS stretches the items across the page and this is not what I seek. Here's a bit of code.
/* Menu Styling */ #menu { background-image: url(../../images/bavbg.gif) no-repeat; padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px; } #menu .Item { /* CSS class for non-selected Menu Item */ color:black; border:Solid 1px Gray; padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px; background-image: url(../../images/bavbg.gif); } #menu .ItemSelected { /* CSS class for selected Menu Item*/ background-image: url(../../images/bavbg.gif) no-repeat; padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px; } #menu .ItemHover { /* CSS class for hovering Menu Item*/ background-image: url(../../images/bavbg.gif) no-repeat; padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px; color:Red; } /* CSS classes for standard Links, only valid inside the #menu DIV */ #menu a, #menu
I am trying to see , if the subsites can access the banner image, can some one let me know, if the below string is right, it is not working forme
background-image: url("<asp:Literal runat='server' Text='<%$SPUrl:~SiteCollection/SiteCollectionImages/header_0_0_1174x180.jpg%>'/>");
i registered an image in AssemblyInfo.cs like this:
[assembly: WebResource("MyControl.Icons.bold.png", "image/png")]
protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output) { output.Write("
event4
"); }
now i want to initialize that image in css file for background-image but it dose'nt work.
my css file is:
.BoldButtons { background-image: url("MyControl.Icons/font_bold.png"); background-repeat:no-repeat; border: 0px; height: 21px; width: 21px; }
i also try with this :
background-image: url(<%=WebResource("MyControl.Icons.bold.png")%>);
but it dose'nt work.
please help me?
I have created a table with background images. I want to insert hyperlinks in one of the cell backgrounds. I am unable to find the use map parameter for TD background images. Below is the code.

  	  	  &n
I would like to change the background-color in my XSLTListView, when the ms-newgif is visible in a row.
How can I check in XSLT if the image is vivisble ?
I have created an asp.net website using visual studio express 2008. I am having trouble mapping a path to my image folder from other files in the website.
My image folder's path is http://localhost/Cafeteria/Image/MyImage.gif
My aspx page that I want to map from is http://localhost/Cafeteria/Submeals/burgers.aspx

Honda Continues to Entice Drivers with the 2012 Accord
Everyone around here at Germain Honda of Dublin knows the Honda Accord as one of the safest, most reliable, and fiscally responsible vehicles on the road today. It makes perfect sense, therefore, that Honda would take home a perfect five-star safety rating from the NHTSA when it comes to the Accord. Furthermore, the Accord has one its fair share of praise from critics with a spot earned on Car and Driver's "10 Best" list…

Indentation - plain text
Hi Guys,
I have a problem with indentation in a plain text email.
Problem is that the text is dynamic and character widths vary depending on the font (fine with Monospacing fonts, but the likes of gmail and hotmail don't pick that up). So if i use something like StringUtils.rightPad(... still does not guarantee correct indentation.
For example, both of these lines are the same length before the "|" (text before | is dynamic):
Model: |CDE-120

Is there any solution to this other than formatting using html and css? That would mean rewriting a lot of code...Last edited by barney75; 03-23-2009 at 06:55 PM.

Sheila Raghavan, Jillian Bynum [editors), 2009 In April 2009, the WHO announced the addition of misoprostol to its Model List of Essential Medicines for the treatment of incomplete abortion and miscarriage. Based on current scientific evidence, this guidebook, aimed at clinicians and women's health advocates, offers detailed information about misoprostol for these indications. It includes information on efficacy, safety and acceptability; eligibility criteria and precautions; dosing, timing and routes of administration; visit schedule and management of complications; counselling and information provision; and integration of misoprostol into existing post-abortion care services. There is a brief final chapter on missed abortion.

Good stuff. I bought myself a Trek Ion 6 light and it works decent enough. Not the best if you plan on riding pitch black backroads, but for a trail or streets with street-lights it's a great commuter light. It was around $40.

If you feel frustrated by marketing and sales or trying to grow your business, then this post is for you!
I've found that it's a real downer when I struggle to market while I'm trying to do great work for clients or sell products that I know will help people.
Not only is it a downer, but then I have to spend more time or money on trying to market and sell. That pulls me further away from delivering value and can cut into my free time, too.
So, I've figured out a way to market that just flat-out works. It needed to not only work, but be easy, cheap and predictable for me too!
I've been sharing my methods with you over the past few blogs through the videos I made. I provided you with the process and mindset and in the last video I walked through a specific way to use Growth Hacking to research your market.
To refresh; Growth Hacking is a mindset and methodology to help business owners grow. It sprang from the world of tech startups. I blended my experience from that arena with my background as an entrepreneur and strategy consultant.
The basic premise is simple. Marketing and sales are blended into everything you do in business. A strategy and planning framework provides focus and structure. That's it. Doing it is a bit more involved, but you have what you need to succeed!
You have enough in the videos I've shared (click here if you missed any) to do it yourself.
If you'd like a bit more information or assistance, I've created a video here.
I also put together a training course that is self-paced and delivered with video and slides. Most of the modules also have templates or guidelines to make implementation even easier.
Growth Hacking Hero has four sections with over a dozen individual modules on all the areas you need to successfully make the growth of your business predictable and stress-free.
At the end of Growth Hacking Hero you'll:
- be able to clearly and powerfully explain the value your business provides and to exactly the correct market (a huge part of successful marketing)
- have all the elements of your business collaborating seamlessly to help you deliver value and grow predictably
- enjoy strategy that provides clear focus on reaching your goals and helps you avoid surging in different directions randomly
- have a measurement system in place that quickly tells you what is working well and what needs improvement
- have a clear understanding of how digital marketing works for you
In a nutshell, Growth Hacking Hero will help you sell effectively while using automation as much as possible. Your business will be even better at delivering great value to your customers, which in turn will help you sell even more easily. Best of all, when sales becomes more effective, you can grow your business with less stress and enjoy being a business owner!
I have some bonuses in place for people that join in the next week. The first is a forum for the course that will let you chat with fellow business owners and me, which provides support and is a great tool for getting ideas and feedback. I'm also including some detailed digital marketing modules that will jump start your success that much faster.
Get more information on Growth Hacking Hero by clicking here.
Peace and prosperity,
P.S. I've priced Growth Hacking Hero deliberately low. I think it's so important that we all be able to grow predictably that it needs a great price to be available to everybody!
P.P.S How low is the price? Lot's of people will spend more on coffee in a month than the price! Click here to find out just how low the price is!

A Man Finds The Girl Of His Dreams After Several Years
It all started when Josh was in high school. Her name was Erica Michaels, and she was the focus of his affection. She had long dark hair and hazel eyes that were always flirty. She was one of those athletic girls her had a tight, mature body. Her breasts were a perfect C cup and her buttocks was so perfectly toned.
All through high school, he knew her as a friend. They met up at movies with other friends and they went to parties, but they never moved pass the friendship stage. So they graduated without ever knowing what being with each other could possibly be like. That fact hurt Josh more than anything. He hated saying good bye to her.
Now it was two years later, and Josh was celebrating his college graduation. Several friends had taken him to a local restaurant that boasted of waitresses with enticing bodies. So they were enjoying themselves quite a bit when the waitress got to their table. The moment Josh looked up, his heart skipped a beat. "Erica?" he asked.
"Hey, Josh," she said.
"How have you been?"
"Okay, I guess. I am still in school. And I do some modeling."
Josh couldn't have cared less that his friends were joking and eating. He was focused on the beautiful face before him that hadn't changed a bit in two years. She wore a tiny white top that accentuated her breasts, and a pair of very tiny black booty shorts. Suddenly, he was sure that he would have the courage to do what he never had. "What are you doing after work?" he asked.
Erica blushed, which only made her look even more adorable. "I was just going to go home and take a bath. Why?"
"I was thinking that perhaps you and I could go out for some coffee."
She perked up. "I would like that," she said, and then walked away.
About two hours later, Josh was smiling as Erica walked out of the restaurant. She was shivering as they walked to his car, so he pulled off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. "Thank you," she said as they got into his car and headed down the road.
"For what?"
"Everything. In high school, you were so sweet. Now you pop back into my life just when I was thinking that nothing was going right. It's like fate."
He rubbed her thigh the rest of the way. Just when he was about to pull into the parking lot to the coffee shop, though, she touched his hand and gave him a seductive look. "You know," she said, "there is a brand new coffee pot at my house."
"Would you rather go there?" he asked, absolutely certain that Erica couldn't possibly be suggesting sex.
"I am certain," she said, and began stroking him over his pants.
Josh raced down the road, smiling as she gave him directions. Finally, he would have what he had waited for for six years. As they parked in her drive way, he jumped out and followed her to the front door. No sooner were they inside than there lips locked passionately.
Just the feeling of her soft lips made him tremble. He parted her lips with his own and ran his tongue over the roof of her sweet mouth. He pinned her to the wall, and lifted her by her amazing buttocks. And in response, she wrapped her legs around his waist and began grinding against him.
Josh's knees felt weak as he carried her to her bedroom. Once there, he gently laid her on the bed and kissed her neck as he tore his shirt off. Instantly, her hands ran over his muscles, and then down to his jeans. He squeezed her breasts through her shirt, inhaling her sweet scent as he gently bit her neck.
The moment she unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans, he knew that this was really about to happen. He yanked off her shirt and then ripped her bra clean off to caress a silky soft breast. Erica moaned softly in his ear as he suckled on a hard nipple, torturing it with his fingers and teeth. Then she slid off his only remaining garments. " Are you sure?" he asked as he kissed her.
Erica gently gripped his throbbing sex. "Just fuck me, Josh! I have been waiting for three years!"
Josh pulled off her jeans and looked at her laying there in only her white lace panties. He could already imagine the tight warmth of her sweet cunt. He smiled and slowly removed the only barrier standing between him and the pussy he had longed for since high school. With lightning quick movements, he jerked her legs apart and drove deep into her.
Erica's back lifted off the bed as he thrust harder and deeper, loving every moment of their erotic reunion. Josh grasped her hips, groaning as she tightened around him. It was like fucking a furnace of passion and ultimate orgasms. He could feel her muscles working him, coaxing out the hot seed that threatened to spill at any moment. He held on , though, power driving into her. His balls bounced against her ass as he thrust harder. Her hips moved with his, grind for beautiful grind.
Soon, he had her on all fours, spreading her ass wide. She squealed as he rammed deep into her tight anus. His thrust was harder than before, causing her to moan shake and tremble. Erica held onto her head board and screamed as another powerful climax took her body over. So he pulled out and slid back into her warm cunt from behind.
The sudden sensation of being entirely filled took her by surprise. She cried out as he pounded his hips against that lovely ass. When she came, he was relentless. He continued thrusting hard and deep, making her tremble. Then he pulled out and came over her sweet ass.
Erica fell to the bed, breathing heavily. "I can't believe I waited all this time," she gasped.
"I wanted you all through high school."
She smiled and kissed him. "Well, at least we will always have tonight."
"I wish it could be forever," he said as he held her in his arms.
"So do I," she said as they slipped into sleep.
Josh yawned as he woke up. He reached over and instantly was aware of Erica's absence. He sat up and saw the note laying beside him. He opened it and read:
Dearest Josh,
I am sorry. I know that you care about me. My life has become some what complicated, though. I am married, Josh. Last night was only because my husband is out of town. It can never happen again. But as I said, we will always have the memory.

Another all American slut. She got her pussy pounded and now he can go fuck himself. Most women are whores at heart. 90% of them SELL their pussy to the guy who has the potential to provide the highest standard of living.... just like whores do. I had at least two dozen cunts who'd dismissed me come after me, when I started a business and became extremely successful. It's amazing how money stimulates ''love''. I fucked the shit out of them all and then pointedly reminded them of how they'd treated me before I dismissed THEM with the line ''Payback is a bitch, isn't it?''. Then I said, ''I knew how much you'd enjoy my eight and a half inches. That's why I fucked you but you'll never get it again. You know how it is. Now that I have money, all kinds of whores want me. I'm fucking two or three women a week and I get to choose who they are.''

Netflix Stock Drops Below Year Low After Company Sells $200 Million in Bonds
The company's need to raise money is "bad to the point of desperation," one analyst says.
Perhaps it's the aftermath of big content deals or the expectations of more to come, but Netflix said Monday it is raising cash, and after-market traders are taking the revelation as a bad sign.
The company said in a regulatory filing that it will sell about $200 million in convertible bonds to Technology Crossover Ventures with an initial conversion price of $85.80 per Netflix share.
PHOTOS: Netflix's 10 Most Rented Movies of All Time
Netflix shares lost 5 percent to $74.47 on Monday, and the stock was down an additional 6 percent after the closing bell, sinking it well below its 52-week low.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Crossover has the right to nominate a Netflix board member. For now, Crossover has designated existing director Jay Hoag as its board representative.
The deal also calls for Netflix to sell $200 million in stock to "non-affiliated third parties," so the company said late Monday that mutual funds and accounts managed by T. Rowe Price Associates will purchase about 2.86 million shares at $70 apiece.
It's no secret that Netflix has had to spend a lot more recently for rights to stream TV shows and movies than it has had to in the past. Analyst MIchael Pachter estimates it could spend from $1.9 billion-$2.1 billion next year on content acquisition, up from $180 million last year. In it's filing, though, Netflix only said it will spend the $200 million or so that it raises on "general corporate purposes."
The filing also says that, "From time to time we evaluate potential acquisitions of or investment in businesses, technologies, or products that complement our business, although we have no present commitments or agreements to enter into any acquisitions or invesments."
Pachter, the first analyst to weigh in on Netflix's decision Monday, called it "bad to the point of desperation," and said that managament isn't doing smaller shareholders any favors.
"They will first dilute their existing shareholders by $200 million, then will issue the bonds to an existing shareholder, Crossover, with a very favorable option price," he said.
"I think it's save to say they are doing this to afford content," Pachter said, "and their revenues are insufficient to provide enough cash to pay for their planned content acquisition costs."
After reviewing Pachter's comments, Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey said: "Netflix has no cash or general liquidity needs, and therefore we have no immediate plans to use this capital. We don't think we need it, but it's always nice to have more money than you need."
