The round brilliant is the standard engagement ring cut but the stunning square princess cut is quite striking. It all comes down to individual choice of course but after looking at some of the gorgeous <strong>princess cut engagement rings</strong> that are available, I’m sure you’ll fall in love.</p> <p>Most square or rectangular cuts just don’t live up to the round brilliant for sparkle, but the Princess Cut was designed for getting maximum brilliance from a square cut. When choosing your Princess cut diamond it’s very important to ensure that the setting protects the four pointed corners. The corners are prone to chip which is why the setting has to protect the diamond.</p> <p>The face-up shape of the princess cut is square or rectangular and the profile or side-on shape is similar to that of an inverted pyramid with four beveled sides. The princess cut is a relatively new diamond cut, having been created in the 1960s.</p> <p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.zoara.com.au/princess%20cut"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #800080;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Click Here To See Stunning Princess Cut Engagement Rings</strong></span></span></a></p> <p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_cut" style="text-decoration: none;">princess cut</a> is sometimes referred to as a square modified brilliant. However, while displaying the same high degree of brilliance, its faceting style is unique and completely different from that of a round brilliant.</p> <p>The Princess cut had its origins in the early “French” cut, having a step-modified “Double-French” or “Cross” cut crown and a series of unique, chevron-shaped facets in the pavilion which combine to give a distinct cross-shaped reflection when the stone is viewed directly through the table. Effectively, the Princess cut combines the high degree of light return of a round brilliant cut with a distinctive square or rectangular shape.</p> <p>While not the traditional engagement ring selection, <em>princess cut engagement rings</em> are very popular right now and make lovely <a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/engagement-rings/">engagement rings</a>. A solitaire princess cut diamond ring is very elegant and eye catching but also looks exquisite with accent stones on either side.</p> <p>Hilary Duff and pro hockey player Mike Comrie are married now but when they got engaged the beautiful ring was a Princess cut diamond. Reports say that it is a 14 carat princess cut diamond engagement ring worth $100,000 with a gorgeous setting.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Hilary-Duff-Engagement-Ring.jpg"><img title="Hilary Duff Engagement Ring" src="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Hilary-Duff-Engagement-Ring.jpg" height="354" alt="Hilary Duff's Engagement Ring" width="435" /></a></p><p></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/hilary-duffs-engagement-ring.jpg"><img title="hilary duff's engagement ring" src="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/hilary-duffs-engagement-ring.jpg" height="183" alt="Hilary Duff's Engagemnet Ring" width="275" /></a></p><p></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Tags: <a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/tag/princess-cut-diamond-engagement-ring/" rel="tag">princess cut diamond engagement ring</a>, <a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/tag/princess-cut-diamond-engagement-rings/" rel="tag">princess cut diamond engagement rings</a>, <a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/tag/princess-cut-diamond-rings/" rel="tag">princess cut diamond rings</a>, <a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/tag/princess-cut-engagement-ring/" rel="tag">princess cut engagement ring</a>, <a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/tag/princess-cut-engagement-rings/" rel="tag">princess cut engagement rings</a>, <a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/tag/princess-cut-rings/" rel="tag">princess cut rings</a></p> <p> <small> This entry was posted on Monday, July 16th, 2012 at 1:32 pm and is filed under <a href="http://www.engagementringssydney.net/category/engagement-rings-sydney/" title="View all posts in Engagement Rings Sydney" rel="category tag">Engagement Rings Sydney</a>.

The front panel should always be glass. This is so you can see your <a href="http://www.beardeddragonpets.com/" target="_blank">Bearded Dragon pet</a> but also so he can see you.</p> <p>A Bearded Dragon cage for a baby dragon should not be too big as your dragon might not be able to find it’s water, food, shelters or basking spots. It’s best to start off with a small enclosure up toŃ0 inches or 76 cm long. As your Bearded Dragon grows you can upgrade the size of the cage. The smallest enclosure for one or two adult bearded dragons would be a 6 foot by 2 foot (1800 x 600).</p> <p>The enclosure has to be large enough otherwise the health of your dragon will suffer. It’s important that they are given the room to climb and move around. There also has to be adequate ventilation either by air vents or a mesh top.</p> <p>In warm climates a Bearded Dragon cage can be placed outside. The enclosure must have a screen or be covered. Ideally the outside enclosure would have a covered area to escape from the sun and rain and also an area exposed to the elements for sun basking. The enclosure also needs to be secure to protect the bearded dragon from predators such as foxes and cats etc.</p> <p>One tip though, don’t put your outdoor enclosure on concrete as it does absorb heat and will get way too hot for your lizard. On top of grass or sandy soil would be good.</p> <p>For an inside <a href="http://www.beardeddragonpets.com/beardeddragoncages/" target="_blank">bearded dragon cage</a> it is important to provide three things. The right substrate or flooring material, the right lights and the right heating.</p> <p>Substrate can be newspaper, sand or sandy soil. If using sand make sure to clean it regularly by removing faeces. It’s a good idea to sieve the sand regularly and to change the sand altogether every 4 weeks at least.</p> <p>Bearded Dragons need UVB light for their health. In the wild they bask on top of rocks in the sun to absorb the rays and heat. In a Bearded Dragon cage you must provide UVB lights which is crucial for their development and the absorption of Calcium. <a href="http://www.beardeddragonpets.com/beardeddragondiet/" target="_blank">Bearded Dragon diet</a> and <a href="http://www.beardeddragonpets.com/bearded-dragon-food/" target="_blank">Bearded Dragon food</a> is very important to get right but without the right UVB lighting it’s impossible for your dragon to digest food and absorb calcium.</p> <p>Lastly the heating is also important provided by an incandescent bulb. Place this 100 – 150 mm above a basking rock and preferably at one end of the enclosure. This gives your bearded Dragon a cool spot to go to when they have had enough heat.</p> <p>Ideally it would be good to have an indoor and an outdoor cage if possible. This way you can be sure your Beardie is getting natural sunlight during the day. If you can do this then the UVB light in the indoor enclosure isn’t needed, just the heat light.</p> <p><span style="clear: both; display: none;"><img src="http://dogtraining.indigitalinfo.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamfree/img/wpsf-img.php" height="0" alt="" width="0" style="border-style: none; height: 0px; display: none;" /></span> </p></div> <p> </p></div></blockquote><div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://dogtraining.indigitalinfo.com/uncategorized/bearded-dragon-cage-whats-needed/">dogtraining.indigitalinfo.com</a></div> <p></p></div></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814096165545848916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470834644867534059.post-23149078102758007512011-12-26T16:57:00.001-08:002011-12-26T16:57:56.463-08:00Monster High Halloween Costumes<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <blockquote><div> <h3><a href="http://leapster-leappad.com/monster-high-halloween-costumes/">Monster High Halloween Costumes</a></h3> <p>Posted by: admin on December 17, 2011 Under: <a href="http://leapster-leappad.com/category/abc-articles/" rel="tag">ABC Articles</a> | </p> <p><strong>Monster High Costumes</strong> are the most popular choice for Halloween this year. Monster High was launched last year in 2010 and have quickly taken the world by storm. Monster High comes from the successful Mattel company and is only going to get bigger and better.</p> <p>Teenage monster children from some of the world’s most scariest monsters are the students at Monster High. They all have freaky flaws to deal with that is unique to them. Such as Frankie Stein being sewn together and having the difficult problem of coming apart at the seams.</p> <p>Each of the Monster High characters have been made into a doll. Monster High Dolls have rapidly expanded to include more dolls even boy dolls. The Monster High Dolls are so popular with girls with more dolls yet to be released. There are even different versions of each doll such as The Dawn Of The Dance Series or The Classroom Series.</p> <p>So of course it would only be a matter of time before every young girl wanted to look like their favorite Monster High Doll. There are Monster High Costumes that have been released for this Halloween bringing all the excitement and glamour to Halloween.</p> <p>Finally a Halloween costume that looks good, it beats being an ugly witch. I think that’s what appeals to young girls the most. The characters from Monster High are trendy and cool while looking really fashionable. <a href="http://www.monsterhighcostumes.com/" target="_blank">Monster High Halloween costumes</a> and <a href="http://www.monsterhighcostumes.com/" target="_blank">Monster High costumes for kids</a> are definitely going to be a freakishly big hit this year.</p> <p>Girls can now have the choice between looking ugly, gruesome and scary and freaky but attractive at the same time. Unfortunately the monster High Costume and wig do have to be purchased seperately. The wig is the most important part of the costume to achieve the look as you can always piece together an outfit however buying a ready made outfit is always easier.</p> <p>The <a href="http://www.monsterhighcostumes.com/" target="_blank">Monster High Costumes</a> that are available at the moment are based on the original release <a href="http://bestmonsterdolls.com/" target="_blank">Monster High Dolls</a> which are:</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Frankie Stein</strong></span> – Her costume looks like the original Frankie Stein Doll. It’s a black and white plaid dress with the polka dot tie. The costume also comes with sleeves and leggings that have the stitch marks on them. There is also a Frankie Stein wig available which really is needed to complete the outfit.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Clawdeen Wolf</strong></span> – Clawdeen’s costume comes with purple skirt and studded belt, fur collared jacket and zebra striped top. The wig comes with little werewolf ears. Very cute!</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Draculaura</strong></span> – Draculaura’s costume is a white pleated skirt, white lace collared top and pink vest. This really is an easy outfit to put together yourself as long as you have the wig of course.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Cleo De Nile</strong></span> – Cleo de Nile’s outfit includes leggings that look like bandages wrapped around her legs. This outfit would be a bit harder to reproduce on your own as the bandage look is a must to pull this off. Simply wrapping bandages aound your legs just wouldn’t look right.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Lagoona Blue</strong></span> – Lagoona’s costume includes litlle fins for the arms and legs and has a fish scale top. Lagoona’s wig is really pretty. You could make your own bag to go with this costume by attaching shells and starfish to a brightly colored plain bag.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ghoulia Yelps</strong></span> – Ghoulia doesn’t have an official costume as yet but her outfit is easy to create. She wears red jeans with long black boots over them. You must have a long blue wig for Ghoulia and include her trademark cats eye glasses and your pretty close.</p> <p><em>Monster High Costumes</em> are a huge hit not only for Halloween but for theme birthday parties as well</p> </div></blockquote> <div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://leapster-leappad.com/monster-high-halloween-costumes/">leapster-leappad.com</a></div> <p></p></div></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814096165545848916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470834644867534059.post-37011974214309676072011-12-26T16:52:00.001-08:002011-12-26T16:52:56.177-08:00Plus Size Corsets Are Super Sexy | | HandbagsHandbags<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <blockquote><div> <p>Not everyone is as skinny and thin as catwalk models and nor do we have the money to hire a personal trainer to exercise us into oblivion.

The conditions in Queensland were perfect.<b></b></p> <i></i><p>Termites exist all around the world and have become masters at finding a food source and systematically devouring that source to keep the existence of the colony going. The whole termite colony has very specific jobs to do and they go about these jobs with machine like precision.<i></i></p> <b><i></i></b><p>Termites do need 3 things in order to survive and they are water, food and shelter Most termites live in tropical or subtropical regions. In Queensland the further north you travel the higher the humidity gets. Termites are in higher numbers closer to the coast where they thrive in the warm humid conditions.</p> <p>As most of Queensland’s major cities are coastal this is where we see the largest termite invasions and the most damage. Termites swarm mostly during Summer which is a sure sign that a termite colony is near by. The swarmers leave the original nest to set up new colonies. The following information wil help you to detect, prevent and treat termites if necessary. <a href="http://www.termitesgoldcoast.net/treatments/" target="_blank">Termite treatment Gold Coast</a> is a must however if termites are detected.</p> <p>Detecting Termites</p> <p>You must first recognise the signs of termites. Looking for signs of termites is the first thing you can do to look after your home. Homeowners should lookout for mud tubes leading up to and over the edge of concrete slabs, stumps and foundations. Also keep an eye out for any dried mud in the joins of doors, architraves and moulding as termites love to build their mud tunnels where they are not in plain sight. If you see blistering paint on woodwork that can be an indication that termites have eaten the wood beneath and left only a thin layer of paint. Check damp areas and look out for any moisture stains on walls. Any type of bulging of floor boards or walls and splintering of timber could all point to termites.</p> <p>So what can Queensland homeowners do to stay vigilant and protect their homes from these silent and sneaky termite invaders?</p> <p>Preventing Termites</p> <p>To prevent termite entry you have to make sure that your home and yard are free of anything that might appeal to termites and also keep things clean and tidy so in case they do show up you can easily see them. The following list are just a few things to keep in mind to do your part in preventing termites in the first place.</p> <p>Keep your home clean from any rubbish, debris and timber lying around. Don’t store firewood or have any timber, dead branches and building materials lying directly on the ground around your yard. Store firewood or timber by raising it off the ground on a metal stand or on a concrete slab. This way if termites do make a tunnel to get to your stored timber at least you can see them and stop them in their tracks before they get into your house.</p> <p>Keep gardens tidy by removing any thick overgrown plants from around your home. Thick vegetation creates areas of intense moisture which attracts termites.</p> <p>Any building done around your home such as retaining walls, decks, pergolas, garden beds, fences, in fact any timber structures must be built using treated timber. For pergolas and decks use metal supports for the posts. These metal supports are then bolted to concrete, the timber posts are fitted to the supports keeping timber off the ground.</p> <p>All vents to sub floor areas must remain unblocked to encourage airflow and keep the sub floor dry.</p> <p>If your house is built on a concrete slab then make sure the edge of the slab is visible at all times as well as the weep holes. So whilst garden beds might look nice it’s a bad idea to build them up against house walls. It makes it impossible to see the edge of the slab and if it’s covering weep holes then it’s a direct entry point for termites.</p> <p>Garden mulch actually attracts termites. It provides them with a food source and because it’s not usually far from your house the termites will graduate from mulch to house prettuy quickly. There are mulches available that aren’t made of wood chips or bark.</p> <p>You may have noticed metal termite shields that are found around the foundations of houses. They are designed to force termites out into the open but they need to be monitored and musn’t be damaged.</p> <p>Termites need water and moisture attracts them. Any leaking taps, pipes or water that pools up around your home are all invites to the termites. Fix any leaks and drainage problems to prevent this problem.</p> <p>Look out for any cracks or holes aropund the foundation of your home and seal them. Termites only need an entry point as thick as a piece of paper.</p> <p>Finally the best preventative thing all homeowners can do is to get your home inspected for termites annually. It is better to have the peace of mind with an annual check. It’s a lot cheaper to have regular inspections than to discover a damaging infestation and not only have to have a complete treatment but have to rebuild and repair any damage. It is not uncommon for termites to completely destroy homes to the point of needing a total rebuild.</p> <p>Treating Termites</p> <p>Once termites are discovered it’s crucial to get them treated. There are a few different methods in achieving this but by far the best is using a non repellant chemical barrier. A non repallant barrier has the advantage of allowing the termites to move back and forth through the barrier as they can’t detect it’s there and pick up a lethal dose which will either kill them or be taken back and passed around the colony.</p> <p>The one thing about termites is that they are resistant. That is why trying to treat them yourself simply won’t work in the long run. If you do succeed in removing them from one spot they will appear somewhere else. As a colony they have invested too much time, sometimes years in establishing themselves and finding a massive food source (your house) to just retreat. They will find other ways into your house.</p> <p>That is why getting a professional termite control specialist to properly treat the whole perimeter of your house is the only way. They know what they are doing and are the only ones that can use the best product on the market for eradicating termites and that’s Termidor. Termidor can only be purchased by licensed pest controllers in Queensland. <a href="http://www.termitesgoldcoast.net/termite-control-gold-coast/" target="_blank">Termite Control Gold Coast</a> and <a href="http://www.termitesgoldcoast.net/termite-inspections-gold-coast/" target="_blank">termite Inspections Gold Coast</a> can only be carried out by licensed pest controllers.

We had them treated with a Termidor barrier which has been very effective.</p> <p>Since then we have had winter and now it is once again termite season. It is really scary to discover termites but since we did I have learned a lot.</p> <p>Check out these Wiki Answer posts which I had enough knwledge to answer.</p> <p><a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_Stages_of_a_termite#">http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_Stages_of_a_termite#</a></p> <p>and</p> <p><a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_termites_get_there_wings">http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_termites_get_there_wings</a></p> <p>We have learned that t is much easier tp prevent termites in the first place. There are a lot of common sense things you can do to prevet termites from entering your house. We thought we were pretty vigilant but it turns out the termites werer smarter.</p> <p>One thing is for sure, if you're a home owner in Queensland it really does pay to have a yearly termite inspection done. For more information on this see <a href="http://www.termitesgoldcoast.net/termite-inspections-gold-coast/">Termite Inspection Gold Coast</a> and <a href="http://www.termitesbrisbane.net/termite-inspections-brisbane/">Termite Inspection Brisbane</a>.

I’m probably the only person in this house who still really doesn’t know how to work the remote (and we have little kids ’round here) and if it wasn’t for my hubby, every clock in the house would be wrong – or blinking 12:00. That wonderful trait of mine has stuck with me while working online – if it’s gonna involve coding or databases or anything like that – I run the other way.</p> <p>Thank GOODNESS technical know-how is NOT a necessity to do well online – or else I’d be up a creek without a paddle…lol!</p> <p>I’m also <em>realistic</em>. I am a one-woman show who only has so much time in a day to get things done. If something is gonna take me a LONG time to accomplish simply because I don’t know how, I either a) don’t do it, or b) pay someone else to do it.</p> <p>For me, that’s a good idea. I’m someone who breaks things until they work and it can drive those around me CRAZY. What can I say? It’s a gift <img src="http://www.potpiegirl.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" height="15" alt=";)" width="15" /> </p> <p>For example – I will stress and get all OCD when setting up a new <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/2008/05/6-best-wordpress-plug-ins-for-profitable-niche-websites/" title="Wordpress">WordPress</a> site. The settings have to be just-so… the theme has to look just-so…and I’ll spend too much time editing php files to remove things I don’t want or make things look a certain way and on and on and on (please, someone tell me that I am not the only one that does this?)</p> <blockquote><p>Each time I spend ALL that time breaking the theme and messing up the settings until I finally get it right, I promise myself that I will NOT waste time like that again and that I WILL LEARN how to clone a WordPress site.</p></blockquote> <p>Also, I have a site that <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/2010/07/how-google-works/" title="Google">Google</a> totally fell OUT of love with – and I really like the site. However, the thought of recreating that site on a new domain name was NOT appealing to me at all. No telling WHAT I would break during THAT process…lol!</p> <p>I know there are plenty of programs that make it easier to move WordPress sites (or clone them), but each one I’ve looked at required me messing with the WordPress data base and doing FTP stuff. Not that any of that is HARD, I just….well… I didn’t want to mess with all that (maybe I am lazy? Hmmmm….food for thought there…)</p> <p>I made a Google Panda Survival Tips post not too long ago – you can read that <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/2011/10/google-panda-how-to-survive/" target="_blank">Panda Tips post here</a>, if you haven’t already. The rest of this post might make more sense if you’ve read it first.</p> <p>In that post I talked about the (then) latest <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/2011/03/my-theory-on-the-google-algo-change/" target="_blank">Panda update</a> and I also showed a graphic of a <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/2008/12/my-twitter-tutorial-using-twitter/" title="Twitter">Twitter</a> conversation of one webmaster finding out from Matt Cutts (from Google) that because his site DID have violating content on it <em>at one time</em>, that they (Google) would NOT accept the webmasters reinclusion request.</p> <p>Thing is, when that webmaster had submitted his re-inclusion request to Google, the webmaster had deleted ALL the content from his site – he was just hoping to get a clean slate with his domain.</p> <p>To me, that’s a bit scary.</p> <p>Then, I went on to give tips on <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/2011/10/google-panda-how-to-survive/" target="_blank">how to Survive Panda</a>…and then talked about things you can do if your site had already been hit.</p> <p>I said to first ask yourself, “Was that site making me money?” (ok, that was actually the SECOND thing I recommended. The first was to cry, play sad songs, and eat a pan of brownies)</p> <p>Then, get yourself a NEW domain and move the old “un-loved” site to that new domain.</p> <p>Now I KNOW there are people who are ready to scream, “Jennifer! That is a horrible idea!!!!” and that I <em>should</em> say – “try and fix your site, sit there for days, weeks, or months on end and try to figure out WHY the site went down the toilet and try to get Google to love you again”</p> <p>Guess what? I ain’t gonna do it.</p> <p>There are groups of <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/2009/05/stop-selling-to-me/" title="marketers">marketers</a> online that can totally afford both financially and time-wise to sit, analyze, and wait.</p> <p>I am not talking to those people.</p> <p>I <em>am</em> talking to those out there that are like me – one-man/one-woman shows who have limited time and really can’t afford to see an income stream disappear for weeks or months – or forever.</p> <p>If there is a way I can help someone from THAT group of people to get that income stream back – and it costs less than $10 a YEAR – that is an option I am giving. If it doesn’t work, you’re out $10 or less. However, if it DOES work, you have your income stream back!</p> <blockquote class="posterous_short_quote"><p>I think it is silly to obsess over a site that broke – and not DO something about it. Especially if that site was profitable.</p></blockquote> <p>So, if all that makes sense to you – keep reading. If you think this is a horrible idea/advice – ignore me =)</p> <p><strong>For Those NOT Ignoring Me – Let’s Continue </strong></p> <p>So I have this <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/2009/01/niche-sub-niche-say-what/" title="niche">niche</a> site – it’s been online for 2-3 years or so now. It used to do AWESOME… I mean, really great. </p> <p>Then one day, out of the blue – POOF – Google broke up with me.</p> <p>(enter tears, sad break-up songs, and large pan of brownies)</p> <p>Now I did spend some time REALLY looking at the site to see if I could even get a clue as to what went wrong. I tried a few things – and would wait… then try some more things… and wait, but it never came back.</p> <p>The site had really good core content. Not just unique content, but good, informational stuff. I, personally, learned a lot making the site and to me, that is a good indicator that my site can help someone else.</p> <p>One thing I know USED to be fine with the site, but now is no longer fine with Google, is that I allowed some unique auto-content on the site to keep fresh stuff dripping in. Not a ton, but the ratio of my content to other content was not in my favor. Other than that, the site was pretty harmless.</p> <p>So I made the big decision to pack up my toys and move to a new domain. Hey, if it’s over, it’s over, right? No use dwelling on past relationships that are broken – move on! </p> <p>I cleaned up all the auto-content and took it off my site (was one of the things I did when trying to fix my relationship with Google) and got the site to exactly as I wanted it on the new domain.</p> <p><strong>Enter Problem.</strong></p> <p>Remember how I talked about what a mess I am with technical stuff? Yeah, well that was the problem. MOVING the site was an issue for me, but by golly, I was gonna figure out how to do it for myself.</p> <p>I looked and looked – but all the solutions had things going on that I didn’t want to deal with.</p> <blockquote class="posterous_short_quote"><p>I wanted: Click, Click, BOOM, I’m done. Guess what? I found my click, click, BOOM! </p></blockquote> <p>I found a plugin that all I had to do was:</p> <p>– <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/more_about/amazing-plugin/%20" title="plugin info page - opens in new window" target="_blank">Get the plugin</a><br /> – Install/Activate the plugin<br /> – Click “back up”<br /> – Copy the url it gave me<br /> – Go to my new site (wordpress already installed)<br /> – Install/activate the plugin<br /> – Paste the url in where the plugin asks</p> <p>BOOM – the entire site is moved to the new domain EXACTLY how it was on the old domain.</p> <p>Everything! Posts, themes, theme changes, plugins, plugin settings, site settings – ALL of it!</p> <p>No FTP, no messing with databases…just click and copy/paste click.</p> <p>Now THAT is my kind of plug-in!!!!!</p> <p>==>>> <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/more_about/amazing-plugin/" title="plugin info page - opens in new window" target="_blank">Check out the video about this plugin here</a></p> <p>I moved this site <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/more_about/amazing-plugin/" title="plugin info page - opens in new window" target="_blank">with this plugin</a> about a week ago and wanted to see it through before talking about it. I’m pleased to report my new site is doing very well in Google now.</p> <p>Few notes about this process: No, I did not forward/redirect the old site/urls to the new site. I wanted to see how it all would work on its own. Also, I am making sure good, informational, and unique content is going on this new site regularly. Google loves fresh, and I also want to be sure that the new site does as well as possible and doesn’t get nailed again (however, no one can be SURE of that – just giving my new site a good chance)<br /> <strong><br /> Know what else I LOVE this plugin for?</strong></p> <p>I made one fresh install of WordPress on a site and tweaked it just the way I like it to be before I go adding content. Things like permalinks, and theme edits, plugins I like, and all that stuff that isn’t hard, but is annoying to spend time on (in fact, it’s a waste of time if there is another way to do it much faster).</p> <p>Once I got that “pre-set up” just the way I like it, I used the plugin to make a clone of it (which means I push a button and it gives me a url to use for other sites). Then, when I start any new site, I just give the plugin that url, click and BOOM – the site is ready to go and all the way I want it. I can just go change the title of the site and start adding content.</p> <p>It’s a beautiful thing!</p> <p>I KNOW folks struggle with that basic set up. Things like making the permalinks right, and tweaking themes, and adding plugins, and getting their privacy pages and all that STUFF we have to do before we ever can begin to add the content to the site. And hey, it’s the CONTENT that makes money, right? No web pages online = no money coming in.</p> <p>With this plugin we can do all that time-consuming stuff ONCE and we can use it over and over and get right to the money-making content.</p> <p>NOW, when I start a new site, all I have to do is:</p> <p>– buy the domain name/change nameservers<br /> – add domain to my hosting<br /> – install wordpress<br /> – go to new site wp-admin<br /> – install <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/more_about/this_plugin/2401/6" title="plugin info page - opens in new window" target="_blank">this plugin</a><br /> – tell plugin what url to restore from<br /> – DONE!</p> <p>I don’t know what YOUR new site check list looks like, but my old check list was LONG and time-consuming. I like saving time… I like it a lot!</p> <p><strong>Know what <em>else</em> this plug in is awesome for?</strong></p> <p>Now, not everyone is into local marketing like I am (what we teach over at <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/more_about/Power3Marketing_com/2401/7" title="Power3Marketing.com" target="_blank">Power3Marketing.com</a>), but with local clients, sometimes they just want a “clone” of a site out there targeting specific local markets. That used to be a pain in the you-know-what to do (and I’d charge accordingly…lol), but now it’s click, BOOM (and I still charge the same). Then I can just get in there, tweak it for location needs, add a little fresh content – and I am done. </p> <p><em>Note: if none of that makes sense to you – sorry! However, if you’re in local marketing – especially a fellow <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/more_about/Power3_Member/2401/8" title="Power3Marketing.com" target="_blank">Power3 Member</a>, this might sound awesome to you!</em></p> <p>This is what the inside of the plugin interface looks like:</p> <p></p><center><br /> <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/more_about/amazing-plugin/" title="click for more info" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.potpiegirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/clone-your-wordpress-site.png" height="147" width="500" /><p><br /> </p></a></center><p></p> <p>Yep, that’s it! Nothing complicated or overwhelming at all!</p> <p>You just click “Backup This Site” on the site you want a copy of, it then gives you a url, then you go paste that url into the plugin interface on the new domain and choose “Restore from this URL”. That’s it!</p> <p>Oh yeah, it’s great for backing up your WordPress site too. As someone who once had her blog hacked and woke up to find YEARS of blog posts gone – I am a BIG advocate of protecting your site by backing it up. With a back up, it took me like 5 minutes to totally restore my site (sorry hacker). You can read the story of my blog being hacked in <a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/ppg-newsletter-4.html" target="_blank">this issue of an old PotPieGirl “Straight Talk” Newsletter</a>.</p> <p>All in all, THREE thumbs up for this plugin. I like things easy – and simple – and this has made my life SOOOOOO much easier!</p> <p><a href="http://www.potpiegirl.com/more_about/amazing-plugin/" title="plugin info page - opens in new window" target="_blank">You can find the plugin here</a> – watch a video demo and all that good stuff.

Thіѕ іѕ ѕο уου саn see уουr <a href="http://www.beardeddragonpets.com/" target="_blank">Bearded Dragon pet</a> bυt аlѕο ѕο hе саn see уου.</p> <p>A Bearded Dragon cage fοr a baby dragon ѕhουld nοt bе tοο bіg аѕ уουr dragon mіght nοt bе аblе tο find іt’s water, food, shelters οr basking spots. It’s best tο ѕtаrt οff wіth a small enclosure up tο 30 inches οr 76 cm long. Aѕ уουr Bearded Dragon grows уου саn upgrade thе size οf thе cage. Thе smallest enclosure fοr one οr two adult bearded dragons wουld bе a 6 foot bу 2 foot (1800 x 600).</p> <p>Thе enclosure hаѕ tο bе large enough otherwise thе health οf уουr dragon wіll suffer. It’s іmрοrtаnt thаt thеу аrе given thе room tο climb аnd mονе around. Thеrе аlѕο hаѕ tο bе adequate ventilation еіthеr bу air vents οr a mesh top.</p> <p>In warm climates a Bearded Dragon cage саn bе placed outside. Thе enclosure mυѕt hаνе a screen οr bе covered. Ideally thе outside enclosure wουld hаνе a covered area tο escape frοm thе sun аnd rain аnd аlѕο аn area exposed tο thе elements fοr sun basking. Thе enclosure аlѕο needs tο bе secure tο protect thе bearded dragon frοm predators such аѕ foxes аnd cats etc.</p> <p>One tip though, don’t рυt уουr outdoor enclosure οn concrete аѕ іt dοеѕ absorb heat аnd wіll gеt way tοο hot fοr уουr lizard.

Record rainfalls and unreasonable flooding throughout Queensland especially Brisbane and the Gold Coast saw termites explode in numbers. The conditions in Queensland were perfect.</p> <p>Termites are found throughout the world and are infamous at identifying and devouring food to keep the colony existing. Every member of the termite colony has a very specific job to do which they execute with great precision.</p> <p>For a termite colony to survive it’s absolutely crucial that they have three things which are food, shelter and water. Most termites live in tropical or subtropical regions. In Queensland the further north you travel the higher the humidity gets. Termites are in higher numbers closer to the coast where they thrive in the warm humid conditions.</p> <p>As most of Queensland’s major cities are coastal this is where we see the largest termite invasions and the most damage. Termite colonies swarm during the Summer and is a definite indication that a termite colony is close. These swarmers are sent out to establish new colonies of their own. The following will help you to detect, prevent and treat termites in the best possible way. If termites are found it’s a must for <a href="http://www.termitesbrisbane.net/treatments/" target="_blank">termite treatment Brisbane</a> to occur.</p> <p>Detecting Termites</p> <p>It pays to recognise termites signs. Looking for signs of termites is the first thing you can do to protect your home. Homeowners should lookout for mud tubes leading up to and over the edge of concrete slabs, stumps and foundations. Also keep an eye out for any dried mud in the joins of doors, architraves and moulding as termites love to build their mud tunnels where they are not in plain sight. Blistering paint on doors and skirting boards can indicate that termites have eaten the wood beneath and only left a thin layer of paint resulting in the paint blistering. Moisture stains on walls and damp areas can indicate termites. Any type of bulging of floor boards or walls and splintering of timber could all point to termites.</p> <p>So what can Queensland homeowners do to stay vigilant and protect their homes from these silent and sneaky termite invaders?</p> <p>Preventing Termites</p> <p>To prevent termite entry you have to make sure that your home and yard are free of anything that might attract termites and also keep things clean and tidy so in case they do appear you can easily see them. The following list are just a few things to keep in mind to do your part in preventing termites in the first place.</p> <p>Keep your home clean from any rubbish, debris and timber lying around. Don’t store firewood or have any timber, dead branches and building materials lying directly on the ground around your yard. Store firewood or timber by raising it off the ground on a metal stand or on a concrete slab. This way if termites do make a tunnel to get to your stored timber at least you can see them and stop them in their tracks before they get into your house.</p> <p>Keep gardens tidy by removing any thick overgrown plants from around your home. Thick vegetation creates areas of intense moisture which attracts termites.</p> <p>Any building done around your home such as retaining walls, decks, pergolas, garden beds, fences, in fact any timber structures must be built using treated timber. For pergolas and decks use metal supports for the posts. These metal supports are then bolted to concrete, the timber posts are fitted to the supports keeping timber off the ground.</p> <p>All vents to sub floor areas must remain unblocked to encourage airflow and keep the sub floor dry.</p> <p>If your house is built on a concrete slab then make sure the edge of the slab is visible at all times as well as the weep holes. So whilst garden beds might look nice it’s a bad idea to build them up against house walls. It makes it impossible to see the edge of the slab and if it’s covering weep holes then it’s a direct entry point for termites.</p> <p>Garden mulch actually attracts termites. It provides them with a food source and because it’s not usually far from your house the termites will graduate from mulch to house prettuy quickly. There are mulches available that aren’t made of wood chips or bark.</p> <p>You may have noticed metal termite shields that are found around the foundations of houses. They are designed to force termites out into the open but they need to be monitored and musn’t be damaged.</p> <p>Termites need water and moisture attracts them. Any leaking taps, pipes or water that pools up around your home are all invites to the termites. Fix any leaks and drainage problems to prevent this problem.</p> <p>Look out for any cracks or holes aropund the foundation of your home and seal them. An entry point as thiack as a piece of peper is all the termites need to gain entry.</p> <p>Finally the best preventative thing all homeowners can do is to get your home inspected for termites annually. It is better to have the peace of mind with an annual check. It’s a lot cheaper to have regular inspections than to discover a damaging infestation and not only have to have a complete treatment but have to rebuild and repair any damage. It is not uncommon for termites to completely destroy homes to the point of needing a total rebuild.</p> <p>Treating Termites</p> <p>Upon discovery termites have to be treated. There are a few different methods in achieving this but by far the best is using a non repellant chemical barrier. A non repallant barrier has the advantage of allowing the termites to move back and forth through the barrier as they can’t detect it’s there and pick up a lethal dose which will either kill them or be taken back and passed around the colony.</p> <p>Termites are very resilient. Treating termites just won’t work in the long term, professionals have to be called in. If you do succeed in removing them from one spot they will appear somewhere else. As a colony they have invested too much time, sometimes years in establishing themselves and finding a massive food source (your house) to just retreat. Termites will always find a way into your home.</p> <p>That is why getting a professional termite control specialist to properly treat the whole perimeter of your house is the only way. They know what they are doing and are the only ones that can use the best product on the market for eradicating termites and that’s Termidor. Termidor can only be purchased by licensed pest controllers in Queensland. <a href="http://www.termitesbrisbane.net/termite-control-brisbane/" target="_blank">Termite Control Brisbane</a> and <a href="http://www.termitesbrisbane.net/termite-inspections-brisbane/" target="_blank">termite inspections Brisbane</a> can only be carried out by licensed pest controllers.

Monster High have become hugely popular since they were introduced in 2010. Monster High is the brainchild of Mattel who continues to grow the franchise.</p> <p>Teenage monster children from some of the world’s most scariest monsters are the students at Monster High. Each of the teenage monsters has a condition that gives them their freaky flaw. Such as Clawdeen Wolf being extremely hairy and needing to wax all the time.</p> <p>Each of the Monster High characters have been made into a doll. Since their first release the Monster High Dolls have had quite a few additions including boy dolls. Monster High dolls are so popular because they keep adding more dolls and will be releasing even more in the future. There are even different versions of each doll such as The Dawn Of The Dance Series or The Classroom Series.</p> <p>So for Halloween this year Monster High have introduced their own Monster High costumes which have certainly been in demand. Monster High Costumes are actually really nice, not ugly like you would expect for Halloween, but glamorous.</p> <p>Finally a Halloween costume that looks good, it beats being an ugly witch. I think that’s what appeals to young girls the most. The characters from Monster High are trendy and cool while looking really fashionable. <a href="http://www.monsterhighcostumes.com/" target="_blank">Monster High Halloween costumes</a> and <a href="http://www.monsterhighcostumes.com/" target="_blank">Monster High costumes for kids</a> are definitely going to be a freakishly big hit this year.</p> <p>Girls can now have the choice between looking ugly, gruesome and scary and freaky but attractive at the same time. Unfortunately the monster High Costume and wig do have to be purchased seperately. The wig is the most important part of the costume to achieve the look as you can always piece together an outfit however buying a ready made outfit is always easier.</p> <p>The <a href="http://www.monsterhighcostumes.com/" target="_blank">Monster High Costumes</a> that are available at the moment are based on the original release <a href="http://bestmonsterdolls.com/" target="_blank">Monster High Dolls</a> which are:</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Frankie Stein</strong></span> – Her costume looks like the original Frankie Stein Doll. It’s a black and white plaid dress with the polka dot tie. The costume also comes with sleeves and leggings that have the stitch marks on them. There is also a Frankie Stein wig available which really is needed to complete the outfit.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Clawdeen Wolf</strong></span> – Clawdeen’s costume comes with purple skirt and studded belt, fur collared jacket and zebra striped top. The wig comes with little werewolf ears. Very cute!</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Draculaura</strong></span> – Draculaura’s costume is a white pleated skirt, white lace collared top and pink vest. This really is an easy outfit to put together yourself as long as you have the wig of course.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Cleo De Nile</strong></span> – Cleo de Nile’s outfit includes leggings that look like bandages wrapped around her legs. This outfit would be a bit harder to reproduce on your own as the bandage look is a must to pull this off. Simply wrapping bandages aound your legs just wouldn’t look right.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Lagoona Blue</strong></span> – Lagoona’s costume includes litlle fins for the arms and legs and has a fish scale top. Lagoona’s wig is really pretty. You could make your own bag to go with this costume by attaching shells and starfish to a brightly colored plain bag.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ghoulia Yelps</strong></span> – Ghoulia doesn’t have an official costume as yet but her outfit is easy to create. She wears red jeans with long black boots over them. You must have a long blue wig for Ghoulia and include her trademark cats eye glasses and your pretty close.</p> <p><em>Monster High costumes</em> are great to wear for any dress up occasion such as Halloween, a costume party or a birthday themed party based on Monster High.</p> </div></blockquote><div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://www.hotwheelsvideoracer.info/monster-high-costumes-for-kids/">hotwheelsvideoracer.info</a></div> <p></p></div></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14814096165545848916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470834644867534059.post-42041139681948913082011-11-26T18:06:00.001-08:002011-11-26T18:06:41.100-08:00How You Can Prevent Termites In Your Home<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <blockquote><div> <p> </p><p>Queensland is the perfect breeding ground for termites due to hot weather conditions that produce high humidity. terrible flodding and record rainfalls supplied the optimal condition this year for termites to thrive and explode in numbers.
