NILLY!
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

I had chicken pox when I was 19. One of my friends dropped off horror movies (Evil Dead!) and chocolate for me, and I spent a lot of time mildly hallucinating that the people on my posters were talking to me.

Jilli, I don't know if this means steampunk has gone hopelessly mainstream but today's post on the Beading Daily mailing list is how to make steampunk jewelry. Next thing I expect is to see the local scrapbooking store stocking steampunk themed supplies.

Oh, there are already steampunk-themed supplies at Michael's Crafts, Jo-Ann Fabrics, and Hobby Lobby. Plus Forever 21 keeps making vaguely-steampunk garments. I keep telling the steampeeps to embrace this fact, and stock up while they can.

Three places I try not to go in to, especially right after pay day. I *don't* need any more beads! No, really, I don't!

Kat, indeed, that is how I know her. Pretty damned cool review, no?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not entirely sure why the dev->QA->prod question is such a huge question. It's standard environment architecture. No one external is pressuring us to do this. It's best practice. We're not being extorted by anyone.
This conversation is going around and around and I don't get a single convincing solid argument other than price. And price doesn't make it more less stable.

Yeah there's even a magazine out, I don't remember the name, but on it says something like "Catch the latest fad! Steampunk" and has lots of different crafts - beading, paper carft (like journals and altered books), mixed media, scrapbooking, etc.
I saw it and bristled - it's not a fad!

Okay, so Christina Aguilera had a brownish colored liquid running down her leg while she was singing at Etta James' funeral.
Neil Patrick Harris was squicked out.
higher res photos here. So, the excuse being given is that it is tanner running down her leg, but I don't think that is possible. Is it?

By the way , if people like adorable cartoon robots, Michaels has a bunch of stuff in the dollar kids impulse section, plus there's some robot valentine stuff (which I'm waiting to go on clearance).
