Comments about Stila Convertible Color, Petunia, 1 ea:
Easy to use w/ fingertips, blendable and buildable color that leaves a nice glow and dewy finish. Color in case appears much brighter than on the skin. Not sticky like another cheek stain I've tried. Haven't used on lips, so I can't speak to that, but love it every day on cheeks for a natural glow. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the color seems to fade and you may need to touch up later in the day. I don't use a primer, so maybe that would help. Hesitated to spend [$] on blush but glad I did... this little compact lasts me several months.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Stila Convertible Color, Petunia, 1 ea:
With the great reviews of this, I tried it, hoping for a natural looking, yet dewy finish with a rosy glow. Not so much. While I got the dewy finish effect, I looked a little like a clown. It went on quite heavy, and was hard to rub in evenly. And the color was too much for my fair skin. I was looking for something that didn't have a sparkle to it - which this doesn't. But the color just wasn't natural enough for me. Maybe they could try some less than bold shades. A softer pink would have been better. I'm sure for the right skin tone, this would have been great - used sparingly. Super cute case though...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Silcon Valley Presenters
By Stacy David-Oracle on Feb 03, 2012
- Marc Andressen, co-founder of Netscape and Opsware, now a venture capitalist. He is confident, knows his technologies and how they effects in the world.
In a venture meeting, and afterwards, Marc personally took time to encourage me and help me network with other startup entrepreneurs, using tools such as using LinkedIn.
- Jim Clarke, co-founder of Netscape and Silicon Graphics, is incredibly personable. He says technology work should be fun. I meet him in Palo Alto at his book signing for Netscape Time. Following Jim's lead, I wrote my own book, Getting Started with Sun ONE, which was published by Prentice Hall.
- Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, knew how to talk to Sun's technical staff, relate to them and make them smile and laugh. He made us feel he was one of us.
I ghost wrote an introduction in my book for Scott, and he signed my book.
- Jim Barksdale was Netscape's corporate leader. At Netscape all hands meetings he would tell us stories. His corporate rules related to life in, and outside of business.
He would push an ice cream cart around the office and hand out treats to individual contributors.
- James Gosling is the originator creator of the Java programming language. When on stage with James, he taught me to relax and have confidence while programming in front of a thousand people.
I later became a contributor to the Java SE 7 Programmer certification exams, and I am Java Programmer certified.
Robin Williams's son Cody and my son Branden were friends at school. At our son's open classroom night, I learnt from Robin to project my voice and include emotion when talking. Watching a speaker on TV, at the movie theater, or on YouTube, does not take place of live and in person. Branden got to see Steve Jobs talk at Pixar during a school event. I should have taken time to see Steve Jobs live. He had an excellent presentation style, he had style. Here is a link to Steve Jobs presentation pointers.
After working with, and studying the Masters of Silicon, I have presentation pointers to share:
- Tell a story. I do this when training people to administer email systems.
- Have points which the audience can easily relate, such as how do they use messaging in their life, in and outside of business.
- People relate to images. While training in Tokyo, rather than a display a number, I asked them the population of their country. Then informed them, the number of users of Oracle's Unified Communication Suite (email, calendar, and IM) is greater.
- Know your topic, know your audience. I can talk and draw pictures of messaging systems impromptu, and I can get my enthusiastic students to teach along with me.
If my students can teach, they will have learned.
- Be animated. If the presenter has fun, the audience has fun.
People remember the good times.
I am the guy on the left in photo below which is from a Java SE 7 certification promotional video. I show up at 2:30 minutes.
In the photo, I am working on stage (center person) with James Gosling mentoring me.

By Darin Pemberton and Holly L. Smith
Ten days before the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail Tour, Duane asked if I would attend in his stead. I agreed and that simple agreement lead to a fundamental change in my views of Michigan wines.
I am getting ahead of myself.
As the event drew closer, the good people at Volkswagen agreed to loan me a 2014 Jetta Hybrid, and Holly Smith – who is co-writing this piece – graciously agreed to co-pilot the weekend.
Pointing the Jetta north by northwest, Holly and I drove the 275 miles to Leland, Michigan. This was my first time driving a hybrid. For most of the first part of the weekend, I didn't exactly 'get' what I was supposed to do with the car. I simply drove it without much thought. While the brakes took awhile to get used to, I eventually found my groove. The brake pressure would increase at times, regardless of the pressure-applied. The Jetta felt composed and I could initiate lift-throttle over-steer on off-ramps; as the car would push, a light lift of the throttle induced just enough rear rotation to help navigate the sweeper. Engine power was beyond expectations, as the car would easily merge with traffic – Detroit area traffic at that. With short on-ramps in this area the Jetta reached 80mph with ease. Never did the car feel underpowered. Stumbling a bit at some take-offs, once underway the Jetta performed fantastically. By the end of our trip I was actively finding the best MPG thanks to the neat little graphics on the dash. As a self-described car guy, with multiple track days under my belt, I am fully on-board with hybrids now.
About 5 hours after leaving Southeast Michigan, we arrived in Northwest Michigan. All-told the Jetta achieved about 42mpg. Holly's only complaint, and mine, was the condition of our back-sides. As much as I respect VW interiors, the front seats of this Jetta seemed designed for commuting. I felt soreness in my kidney area – while her posterior felt as if she had been sitting atop a wooden bench.
Arriving at the Leland Lodge, Cara greeted us upon check-in. Cara – with an infectious smile and great enthusiasm made us feel like returning old friends rather than first-time guests. In fact, at no time during our stay did Cara present anything but friendliness; taking the time to say Hello with each passing.
A fantastic night's sleep on wonderful beds chock-full of perfect pillows refreshed us from our travels. Making our way downstairs, Chef Nikki made the most-incredible breakfast taco – chorizo with scrambled eggs, peppers, sautéed onions and topped with Greek yogurt. Holly debated a marriage proposal to the taco – but decided against it due to the fact she wanted to eat it.
Our server, Elaine, is the sort of person out-of-towners NEED to meet when on a "vacation" like this. A local, Elaine knows the ins and outs of the area. Beyond that, Elaine proved a great conversation over breakfast, while attending to our needs. Thank you Nikki and Elaine!
Paul Hamlin – from the Leelanau Wine Trail board – opened the event with a welcome and introduction to the history of wine in the region. The Leelanau wine trail is the largest trail in the Midwest with 25 wineries; the first opening back in 1976. The wineries along the trail mean business – with 14 peninsula wineries awarded 'best of class' and earning 52 medals overall in 2013 competitions.
Following Paul, and breaking into smaller tour groups, Lorri Hathaway introduced a book she co-wrote detailing the history of wine in Michigan with The History of Michigan Wines: 150 Years of Winemaking Along the Great Lakes. Using the Detroit River used as a bootleg highway of sorts this region's wine survived Prohibition in the 1900s, saving an industry dating back to the 1800s. Situated latitude-wise in line with France's Bordeaux and Italy's Piedmont regions, Michigan features flourishing vineyards between the forty-first and fort-seventh parallels. Upon repeal of prohibition, winemakers in Canada brought to Michigan old-world techniques pushing out 1,000,000 cases of wine! Since the 1960s and 1970s, however, Michigan has been working to re-create national excitement about the state's wine.
With the stage set, Holly and I set out with others for our tour.
Starting at Good Harbor Vineyards near Lake Leelanau. Taylor Simpson runs the vineyard and winery with her mother and brother. The trio leads a winery averaging approximately 22,000 cases every twelve months. The scale of production lends itself to a line favourited by Taylor, and noted by her late father "(wine is) just fermented grape juice, I don't know what the hype is about!" – referring to people intimidated by drinking wine. Of the wines I tried – ranging from their Cabernet (called LABernet, after the resident black Labrador retriever dog, to their Pino Noir and their Cherry wine. Cherry wine. Oh yes I did. Initially considering the wine a gimmick, the glass Taylor poured surprised me to no end. I took a sip and thought for a second – waiting to decide. "Holy cow. That's actually pretty good!" – I thought. The wine is not pretty good as a wine, but it's very good as something to drink. In fact, Good Harbor's belief is "(People) should be able to have wine with friends every night – without breaking the bank!"
Without insinuation of anything shady, Bozkydel winery is the 'GodFather' of the area's wine, having planted in 1970. The small winery – situated on just 25 acres – is family-run, and the patriarch, Bernie Rinks inspires two of his five(!) sons to produce small quantities – 95% of the wine is sold only through their tasting room, and mostly to repeat customers. The winery showed its age with cobwebs and dust on the frames of scores of memories affixed to the walls. A wood-burning stove filled the area with a welcoming scent as the cherry-wood burned within. Bernie recalls working on a vineyard as a child in the 1930s, so he worked his sons – and the vineyard remains a tribute to his wife and sons – until they were too tired to get in trouble. Bernie's son Andy manned the tasting duties for the morning, and gave us a tour of the facility, stopping to answer every question thrown his way. Bernie states his winery is a tribute to an obliging wife and five reliable sons. to This winery is about subdued enjoyment of wine, but that is not to say there was no excitement – their semi-sweet table wine was my favourite – proving to be just-about the perfect go-to wine for a relaxing dinner with friends.
Approaching the winery L. Mawby we knew something was different. The tasting room was full of young people, and music was loud. This place secreted energy unlike any winery I've before visited. While the winery's namesake, Larry Mawby takes his craft seriously, Larry can work a crowd with aplomb ensuring each person with whom he chats feels relevant. L. Mawby wines are sparkling – much like Larry's personality. Featuring his most-popular label "Sex", Larry ensures "Nobody leaves a tasting without having sex." When talking to the rose-colour of the Sex wine, Larry says "What other color could sex be, it has to be pink".
This wine is about having fun. Larry produces wine for the person, not for a panel of judges – that is not to say his wine is immature or lacking, but each bottle carries a little atmosphere with it. Larry is proud of his Green label – using recycled glass in the bottle-making. True story – the Green label tasted strong of vegetal notes; I was shocked. I really had the impression of being in –and maybe chewing on – a field of tall grass. Not unpleasant, just unexpected.
Larry's oldest vines started in 1976 – Vinole – and the youngest, but planted a lot of Pinot Noir at the tasting room site. Two years after the vines were planted, the company started selling wine. As time passed Larry added on to the winery – going so far as living in a house on the property for twenty years. Upon marrying in 1998 Larry speaks to the shocking experience of at the end of the work day not simply walking upstairs to bed, but getting in his car and driving to a different location.
More than fun and celebration, Larry gave us a primer on grape growing – mentioning grapes' desire to take over the land, shooting up the top of trees to get the sunlight. Allowed to grow unrestrained the plants will not fruit – grape growers must persuade the plant it will soon die. With this motivation, the plant wants to make the grape as best it can so it is taken away by an animal and drop the seeds elsewhere. The stress for the plants is similar to how parents or employers stress children or employees to motivate good behavior. The romantic notion of beautiful calm joyful vine-tending is misleading, and flies in the face a bit of the hard work required to ensure a good product.
Our last stop for the day was Lelanau Cellars's tasting room in Omena, Michigan. Greeted immediately by the staff, General Manager and Alabama native Tim Curry Tony Lentych introduced us to the facility and gave the story of the winery, with its first tasting room opening in 1977.
As far as case sales and variety, Tony told us the company is doing about 140,000 cases out the door – with this year's production of about 180,000 cases.
Their Fall special – Witches Brew – sells so up to 30,000 cases alone, as it's geared for the Holloween season, yet is starting to sell full time.
Leelanau's vision stems around being the introductory point to wine – to be the People's Winery. Tony shares the company's position of being comfortable with a stepping-stone into wine, with easy-to-drink fruit-forward wines and even featuring higher end wines as the drinker's pallete develops.
The wine distributes to Michigan, Ohio, South Dakota, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucy and Wyoming.
Holly's Tasting Notes:
Good Harbor:
2012 Pino: Fantastic! Very smooth, light, comfortable wine.
Labernet: Only sold in the tasting room…which is too bad because this was one of my favorites of the day! Fantastic bold red, very smooth with bold warm fruit taste.
Harbor Red: Order this!
Cherry Wine: Do not give up on this wine! My first impression was bitter…blah….but the second taste completely changed my mind! This would be a great start for a Sangria, in fact, the recipe was shared! Great drink to serve at a Wedding or Shower.
Lacking curb appeal….however there was a lovely view of the vineyard overlooking the water
Berny looks like a kind old man from a west coast fishing villiage…great "CHARACTER". Humble and sweet, what a story teller. I wanted to go up and squeeze him so hard.
First Taste: Semisweet Table Wine, smooth and easy to drnk, drkin, drink!
In this small tasting room and I mean a tiny room, there is history and family oozing from the cinder block walls. From the squiggly had written "employees must wash their hands" sign in the single bathroom to the family photos which cover nearly every wall, this operation has a warm and rustic feel. Add the smell from the wood burning stove and…burn my bags, I'm HOME! Reading the hand made signs just written on old cardboard just added to the charm and authenticity of this business.
L. Mawby:
HUMOR: Sings on the wall include "No browsing allowed. Buy something expensive and get out" and
First Taste: Sandpiper
Notes of pear and apple. Sparkling wine, uber bubbly….but bitter after taste.
Green: Apple and green pepper, very bitter. Clearly I am not a fan of the sparkling wines. Although, I do love that the Green wine is 'green', made from REUSED, not RECYCLED bottles. They are completely cleaned and sanitized and then re-corked. Cool!!
Blanc de Blanc is 100 percent Chardonnay from the Peninsula.
Detroit…just like champagne. First sparkling wine I enjoyed. Demi-sec (semi dry).
Sex is good…sweet and light and what a great idea this would be for a wedding favor at $153 per case! . This is sold under the M. Lawrence brand.
Sex is the biggest seller, with Detroit as number two. Interesting fact, Detroit is only for sale in Detroit but is sold under different names in other areas i.e. GR in Grand Rapids and KZoo in Kalamazoo.
Leelanau Cellars:
First Taste Black Noir: Strong scent of pepper does not translate to the flavor…very light and simple and somewhat flat. Reminded me too much of a wine cooler.
Autumn Harvest: Again, very flat grape juice taste.
Merit Age: Bolder red…a bit more flavor than the previous two but again, very flat.
Port: Liquid Candy!! With a bite of chocolate (see Photo), this was also one of my favorites of the day. Just a sipping wine or a nice after dinner drink! Taste that lasts! (Darin left with two bottles in tow).

In 2007, Germany was the leader of the world for total wind production. However, in 2008, the U.S. was perched in the top spot thanks to strong growth. The data also indicated that sometime this year, the U.S. will seize the lead in installed solar power. The newly released figures represent the U.S.'s growing thirst for alternative power.
The U.S. increased its wind capacity by 50 percent last year to a total of 25 GW, enough to power nearly 5 million homes. Germany took a close second with 24 GW of installed wind, while Spain took the third spot. China took fourth place, but posted even larger growth than the U.S., more than doubling its capacity for the fourth year running. If China continues this pace of growth, it will soon overtake the U.S. in capacity.
Steve Sawyer, secretary general of the Brussels-based Global Wind Energy Council, who released the figures, cheered the findings. He states, "Governments must send a strong and unequivocal signal that the age of fossil fuels is over."
Globally wind power grew by 29 percent, to reach 121 GW total capacity. As one of the most affordable sources of alternative energy -- being only slightly more expensive than coal and nuclear -- wind accounted for 42 percent of the new energy installations in the U.S. Mr. Sawyer says this figure emphasizes wind power's competitive nature.
Currently, the wind power industry is slumping due to falling oil prices and a weakened economy. The industry does have some protection thanks to subsidies and energy taxes, such as the guaranteed price premium in Germany and Spain. Such initiatives have softened the blow dealt by the economy to the industry.
The new stimulus package that's being debated in the House and Senate would increase the amount of alternative energy tax breaks in the U.S. by $31B USD. The tax breaks would help President Obama's administration achieve its target of double U.S. alternative energy production in three years. The EU wants to increase its amount of alternative energy from 10 percent of the total energy production to 25 percent by 2020.
A separate analysis, conducted by Jefferies analyst Michael McNamara showed that the U.S., boosted by its sunnier climate, will overtake Germany this year in solar power production. Solar power is still very costly, but increased mass production and new technologies have helped to slow drop the costs.
The continued growth of wind and solar, variable power sources, worldwide raises the necessity of efficient storage technologies. Most storage technologies are still in their infancy, with many being prohibitively expensive.
quote: I'm all for more nuke plants, but the amount of physical space that wind power requires isn't really an issue when compared to nuclear.
quote: Comparing 30-40 year old tech to brand new tech is just flawed.
quote: Yes windmills may have a 30% up time but during that 30% up time they may only average 50% capacity.
quote: You also need to look at initial building cost, maintenance, grid etc. Once built Windmills require very little maintenance but a Nuke Power Plant will hire around 1000 Employees. 1000 x 60 years+ of service adds a lot to cost of nuclear.

Who?: Songwriter, solo artist and erstwhile frontman with area alt-rock outfit Son of the Sun.
What?: A new solo effort, "Gallimaufry," finds Ward working with "found material." He transforms two Shakespeare sonnets into songs, tackles a pair of traditional folk tunes from the public domain, and offers a self-penned instrumental.
Why?: The term "Gallimaufry" comes from the French term denoting "A jumble; a hodgepodge," suggesting that Ward has a sense of humor about this fine new EP, which is assembled from various bits and pieces, but still boasts an organic, natural flow. The music – Ward on the voices and guitars, Brandon Delmont tackling the drums and Michael Johnston the upright bass – possesses a beautiful old-timey aspect. The audacity of transforming a sonnet of Shakespeare's into a pop tune is something we should admire, especially when it's done so well.
What's Next?: A party and concert commemorating the release of "Gallimaufry" is Feb. 23 in Nietzsche's (248 Allen St.).
Check Out: zakward.bandcamp.com, where you can sample and/or download "Gallimaufry" in its entirety.

text: My boyfriend bought some kimchi and it, too, had MSG on the label. My suspicion is that any kimchi that you buy isn't really fermented. It's just flavored to taste similar to real kimchi. I intend to see if the Asian market has any real kimchi so we can tell the difference. If they don't, I don't plan to eat any kimchi at all. I'm sure I can live happily without it.

It looks as though DaimlerChrysler isn't
the only automotive company looking at car-to-car communications systems.
General Motors has announced its new vehicle-to-vehicle
(V2V) system which is currently being tested on Cadillac, Chevrolet, Opel
and Saab models in Germany.
Like DaimlerChrysler's system, V2V uses Wireless LAN (WLAN)
technology, GPS and a vehicle's numerous computer controlled active safety
systems to relay data back and forth between vehicles. The system is capable of
relaying such data as Emergency Brake Warning, Blind Spot/Lane Change notification
(with accompanying blinking LEDs in the side view mirror and vibrating driver's
seat), Forward Collision Warning and Emergency Vehicle Warning (with location
and direction of travel for the emergency vehicle).
"Driving is a very complex task. Knowing where the
other guy is and where he's headed can be as critical as being in control of
your own vehicle," said GM's Hans-Georg Frischkorn. "With V2V
technology, we intensify the driver's awareness of his environment to improve
road safety, without any distraction to him and certainly without reducing his
level of control. This sixth sense lets drivers know what's going on around
them to help avoid accidents and improve traffic flow."
Whereas DaimlerChrysler's system will be employed in
high-end Mercedes vehicles at first, GM is using off the shelf components to
drive down costs and implement the system on as many vehicles as possible.

Kansas City, Kan., police said they are investigating after a 2-year-old boy was found naked and crying in a wooded area early Saturday morning.
Police said a passer-by spotted the child about 1 a.m. and took him to a nearby fire station at 55th Street and Metropolitan Avenue.
Police Sgt. Emmett Lockridge said that the boy's family called police about 10:40 a.m. to report him missing, and officers later confirmed it was the same child.
Lockridge said the boy remains in protective custody while they investigate how he was able to get out.
Editor's Note: Authorities incorrectly identified the child as a girl in a new release Saturday afternoon.

ELKINS - The Elkins Historic Landmarks Commission (EHLC), which works to identity, certify and preserve important local historic sites, will hold its Christmas open house at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
"It will be a fun and informative event, and I hope everyone who is interested in the fascinating structural and architectural history of Elkins will stop by during the open house and visit with us," said Logan Smith, EHLC
The event will be held at the historic Darden House in downtown Elkins and will feature a meet-and-greet with the five EHLC commissioners and Danielle LaPresta, executive director of the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia (PAWV), the statewide historic preservation nonprofit that is celebrating its new office opening in Darden House.
The event will include refreshments, and various Elkins historic artifacts will be on display. PAWV's new traveling exhibit, "Preserving West Virginia: Saving Communities," which focuses on how historic preservation is beneficial to West Virginia., will also be on display.
The EHLC will have limited-edition R.P. Hale woodblock prints of Darden House available for purchase, while PAWV will be selling its new booklet "West Virginia's Endangered Historic Properties: Saved and Lost, 2009-2013," which features the First Ward School project success story.
After the open house, the EHLC will hold a public meeting on the Graham Neighborhood Historic Survey, which will be presented by local historian Robert Whetsell. The survey is a building-by-building assessment of the historic value of the Graham neighborhood, which is bordered roughly by Graham Street, Randolph Avenue, 11th Street, River Street and Davis Avenue.
Whetsell, who worked on the assessment earlier this year with EHLC volunteer Jeff Smith, noted, "We often take this area for granted, but it has played a significant role in Elkins' history. More than 90 percent of these structures have historic value."
Following the public meeting, the EHLC will hold its monthly commissioners' meeting. Guests are encouraged to stay.

Seeing as Labor Day is right around the corner, many Americans will be pulling out their grills this weekend. Equipped with our figure-friendly summer cookout recipes, you ought to be one of them.
The problem with most cookout recipes, however, is that they're usually high in calories and fat. In addition, they leave you feeling lethargic long after the table is cleared. Thankfully though, the line-up we're sharing today won't have you reaching for your stretchy pants. Instead, think light, savory, and scrumptious dishes that are the perfect, healthy way to kiss summer goodbye.
First up, enjoy the end of summer with a glass of our famous Red, White, and Blue Sangria. This sangria is perfect for any cookout because it's light, refreshing, perfectly sweet, and loaded with antioxidant-containing strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Cheers to that!
Avocado Serrano Coleslaw will make a great side dish for your cookout side. Our slaw contains pineapples and orange bell peppers with a light avocado dressing. Using avocado instead of mayo is a healthier substitute and adds more southwest flavor to the dish. (more…)

They say there was a time in Lyons when you could smell peppermint wherever you went in town, and in the surrounding fields.
That was in the late 19th century when the Erie Canal town prided itself as being the Peppermint Capital of the World.
Peppermint oil back then was said to cure everything from headaches (rub it in on your forehead) to stomachaches (a drop on the tongue).
Today the aroma is long gone and the myths of peppermint's powers have evaporated, but Lyons has a museum devoted to the production of one of the world's great flavors.
It's the H.G. Hotchkiss Essential Oil Museum, located in the 130-year-old building that once housed the world's largest producer of peppermint oils.
Hiram Gilbert Hotchkiss, founder of the company, sat behind a desk in a back room to supervise his company's activities. The desk is still there, as is a 2-ton safe that once, during a flood, crashed through the floor and ended up in the basement.
In the first-floor bottling room, you can see where employees bottled the oil that was processed in laboratories on the second floor.
That second-floor lab, is not yet open to the public, according to Richard Kelley, a trustee of the Lyons Heritage Society, which owns the museum. It is being refurbished to resemble something like its original state, so visitors will be able to see how the oil was made.
Once hundreds and hundreds of acres of surrounding farmland was devoted to growing peppermint plants. Hotchkiss himself owned up to 300 acres devoted to growing peppermint and other mint plants. He won awards for the peppermint oil in competitions in Europe, and that helped propel his success.
Today most commercial American peppermint plants are grown in Washington and Oregon, and mostly the oil is used as a flavoring for candy, gum, ice cream, toothpaste, mouthwash and other consumer products.
One recent study in Italy, however, suggests that peppermint oil does have at least one medicinal use: It tends, the study's authors said, to lessen the effects of irritable bowel syndrome.
Today the United States leads the world in the production of peppermint oil. Before Hotchkiss came along, however, American peppermint oil was considered decidedly inferior to European oils. Hotchkiss, in effect, not only built himself a successful company, but in the process made the United States the world leader in the industry.
In the gift shop at the Peppermint Museum, you can buy a pig made of hard candy with peppermint flavoring. It comes with a little cloth bag and a tiny hammer, so you can put the pig inside, bang it, and eat the little broken pieces. That's $15. A smaller pig, without the bag and hammer, costs $7.
There are also T-shirts, postcards and a four-DVD set on the history of peppermint growing and peppermint oil manufacturing in the U.S.
And there's a book written for young people titled "Peppermint Summer" by Pat Gorthy, a retired high school teacher. The book is about a young girl who visits a peppermint farm owned by her grandparents in Lyons during the 1860s. The back of the book contains appendices on Hiram Hotchkiss and the production of peppermint oil.
The museum isn't very big. Even if you pay attention to every exhibit, you should expect to spend a half hour to 45 minutes inside.
While in Lyons you might want to visit the 1854 courthouse, now used for Wayne County offices, that was the setting for much of the 1988 horror film classic, "The Lady in White." Its large silver dome is visible from almost anywhere in town, and it's about a five-minute walk from the museum.
You might also visit the Old Jail Museum, built in 1854, at 21 Butternut St., the Grace Episcopal church complex, dating to the early 1840s, at 7 Phelps St., and just generally walk around the downtown area, which includes many old buildings, although facades hide much of the original designs.
The museum is open from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays. Group tours can be arranged by calling (315) 946-4596 or (315) 946-6316. Admission is free. Donations from visitors help fund the museum's operation.
If you go
Take I-90 east to Exit 42. Take Route 14 north to Lyons, cross the Erie Canal, turn left on Water Street. The Hotchkiss Building, which houses the Peppermint Museum, will be on your left. There's a small, free parking lot in front of the museum. There's plenty of free parking around the village if you're willing to walk five to 10 minutes. If you're using a GPS system, the street address of the museum is 95 Water St., Lyons.

You guys are wrong, its when a man and a woman engage in anal sex, then the man takes his penis and rubs it on the girls upper lip leaving a moustache.
After having anal sex, the man gave the woman a dirty sanchez.
by H. Carl August 20, 2003
NO, a Dirty Sanchez is performed when a male fingers a female's ass and wipes the reminants on the female's upper lip. What you referred to below, when a male inserts his penis in a female's ass then transfers the fecal matter from his penis to the female's upper lip is the Dirty Rodruigez, the first cousin of the Dirty Sanchez. Don't feel bad though, they are commonly confused.

he gave her a dirty sanchez and she never had anal sex again.
by frappe August 04, 2005
The term 'dirty sanchez' originated in the porn industry, particularly films involving ass-to-mouth (atm) action. It describes the (originally unintentional, i.e. blooper) act of leaving a shit moustache on a partner's face by taking your cock out of her ass and putting it in her mouth without wiping it off first. The result is that as the dick is thrust between the lips, shit is scraped off and comes to rest on her upper lip in a moustache configuration.
Anyone who thinks it involves the deliberate wiping of shit with fingers on a partner's face is a know-nothing fucktard.

It wasn't just a vacation fling.
Back in L.A. after steaming up Tulum, Mexico, on a New Year's vacation, Demi Moore and new beau Sean Friday put on quite a public display of affection while out clubbing Saturday night.
"They danced and made out all night," an onlooker tells PEOPLE of Moore, 51, and Friday, 27, who partied in the VIP section of the club at The Standard Hotel in Hollywood until 2 a.m. Sunday morning. "Demi was chatty and smiley all night. She looked flawless."
When they weren't dancing, the canoodlers, both dressed in black, hung out with Moore's longtime friend, floral designer Eric Buterbaugh, at a table well-stocked with Moore's signature Red Bull.
Sources have told PEOPLE that Moore and Friday, the drummer for the L.A. band Dead Sara, have been friendly since at least last summer. Moore, whose divorce from Ashton Kutcher was recently finalized, has been spotted at Friday's gigs at The Sayers Club, where her daughter Rumer Willis, 25, often performs.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara County Court jury will deliberate Monday on the fate of runaway sex crime defendant Paul S. Turley.
Testimony wrapped up Friday afternoon in the case of Turley, 47, of Lincoln Avenue, Dunkirk, who is accused of molesting two girls in North Tonawanda between August 1996 and June 1998, when they were between 5 and 7 years old. One of the girls allegedly was molested one more time, on Christmas Day 2003.
Earlier Friday Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas ordered the forfeiture of the $50,000 bail bond posted by Turley's mother about a week after her son's arrest Jan. 4, 2012.
Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth R. Donatello said Turley's mother was asked to cooperate in the search for Turley and his wife, Diane.
Turley left the County Courthouse in Lockport at Wednesday's lunch break in his trial on charges of molesting two girls, then ages 5 to 7, in North Tonawanda from 1996 to 1998.
Donatello said the mother "would not help. She would not assist. It appears his mother has no fear of forfeiture."
Farkas said, "The people have to go through a procedure with the bail bondsman. Maybe he can start looking for him, too."
Defense attorney D. Daniel Stevanovic said he hasn't heard from Turley since Wednesday. "He hasn't checked in with me or his sister," Stevanovic said.
He did tell Farkas that Turley's mother entered her son's home and found paperwork on a table, but the couple's dogs were gone.
"The wife may have taken them out," Stevanovic said. "There's no indication my client came home."
Although Diane Turley also cannot be located, Stevanovic said, "There's no evidence they're together."
Donatello said the prosecution did not present a police witness to discuss the manhunt for Turley, because his mug shot is in evidence. No announcement has been made to the jury about why Turley isn't in court.
Farkas proposed to tell the jury in her final charge that they had probably noticed the defendant's absence and that they shouldn't draw any conclusions about his guilt from that fact. However, Stevanovic said he would prefer that Farkas not bring up the topic at all, and the judge agreed not to.
Turley is charged with first- and second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child and first-degree sexual abuse. He faces a maximum of 39 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
The second of the two alleged victims to take the stand testified Friday about her abuse by Turley. She said, "He would say if I told someone, they would take him away."
The woman, now 21 and married, told the jury that when she turned 18, Turley told her, "Thank you for not telling the police."
She didn't report the abuse until November 2011, when she called North Tonawanda police. "We would wait until I was ready. It was my choice," the woman said. "I had to protect other people."

yes priiloder is installed. ios v80, systemmenu v514, priiloder v0.4 r78
Go in to Priiloader by turning the wii on and then Press and hold the reset until Priiloader pops up.
Now go in to System Menu Hacks, go down to Replace Health Screen With Back Menu and Enable, then go to Auto Press A at Health Screen and enable it.
Now go down and save the settings and exit out.
This should automatically get you past the health screen with out you pressing anything.

Work to be featured in Cheekwood's fall exhibition, More Love: Art, Politics, and Sharing since the 1990s.
NASHVILLE, TN. – In preparation for its thought-provoking exhibition entitled More Love: Art, Politics, and Sharing since the 1990s, Cheekwood announces the first open call for participants in one of several interactive works in the show. The exhibition opens September 20, 2013 and will feature 45 works by contemporary artists that actively engage with love and the many ways it can be expressed in the 21st Century.
As part of More Love, artist Lee Walton is creating This Saturday from Noon to One, A Family Will View the Exhibition, an orchestrated, exhibition-specific piece that blurs the boundaries between real life and performance. Through an open call for participants, Walton will choose fourteen families to simply view the exhibition as naturally as possible each Saturday precisely from noon to 1:00 p.m. throughout the run of the exhibition (September - December 2013). A new "family" will view the exhibition each week of the show; there is no performance or acting required.
Each participating family will be documented with a portrait at the Museum. The portraits will serve as a record of the exhibition and will not be displayed at Cheekwood.
This Saturday from Noon to One, A Family Will View the Exhibition frames everyday, shared experiences as art, celebrating these moments as actions and gestures of love. This project also commemorates a broad range of what a family can be by asking the simple question, "Who is your family?"
While the performance is a formalized, anticipated, and constructed action, it also provides an "actual" art experience for each participating family as they experience the More Love exhibition. In this way, This Saturday from Noon to One, A Family Will View the Exhibition combines life and performance, and engages museum viewers by elevating the quotidian into spectacle. This new piece is an extension of Father and Daughter View the Exhibition, an earlier work created at the Ackland Art Museum during More Love's original run. Families participating in the performance will not have to pay Cheekwood admission fees.
"These performances are just like real, everyday life. No acting is involved. I just want the families to just be themselves," says Walton. "Often, my family and I will visit a museum together and it is always an unforgettable (and unpredictable) event. The experience is the art."
"This piece is wonderful because it's art about experiencing other art, and more specifically, experiencing it together," says consulting curator Claire Schneider. "Shared moments of the everyday are at the heart of many of the works in More Love; these moments become things of simple beauty and are an important way we experience love. In addition, there is a long tradition in art where the viewer is invited in to become a collaborator in making the work, so that the work is not complete until they participate. Walton's work highlights this important development in art and in general contemporary culture."
For more information about Lee Walton's This Saturday from Noon to One, A Family Will View the Exhibition, or to participate, please see the work's web page.
Lee Walton's work is rooted in conceptual, new media, and social practices, and takes many forms―from drawings on paper to game/system-based structures, and from web-based performances to theatrical orchestrations. Walton has received commissions from museums, institutions, and cities both nationally and internationally, including the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston; Creative Time, Art in General, Socrates Sculpture Park, New York; island6, Shanghai, China; Reykjavik Art Museum, Iceland; and The City Museum of Ljubljana, Slovenia; among others.
His work often involves collaboration with numerous participants and practitioners from diverse fields, and he has shown with a number of other artists included in More Love: Sharon Hayes, Dario Robleto, and Julianne Swartz. Walton holds a MFA in visual arts from the California College of the Arts and is currently assistant professor of art at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
For more information about Lee Walton, visit his website: http://www.leewalton.com/
Organized by guest curator Claire Schneider, More Love: Art, Politics, and Sharing since the 1990s is the first major exhibition to investigate the ways in which contemporary artists have addressed love as a political force, as a philosophical model for equitable knowledge exchange, and as social interaction within a rapidly changing landscape of technology and social media.
More Love's foundation rests with the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, the pioneering figure who profoundly reworked the viewer's relationship to the art object by dismantling the restrictions imposed on the artist, the viewer, and the object in traditional installations. Among the 29 emerging and established contemporary artists included in the show are Janine Antoni, Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Mona Hatoum, Sharon Hayes, Jim Hodges, Tad Hozumi, Emily Jacir, Chris Johanson, Lynne McCabe, Laurel Nakadate, Yoko Ono, Dario Robleto, Gregory Sale, Katerina Šedá, Julianne Swartz, Lee Walton, and Gillian Wearing.
A full-color, 224-page exhibition catalogue, with essays by Claire Schneider, Jonathan Katz, Shannon Jackson, and Dario Robleto, among others, will be available.
