This guide discusses how to use the Corona store APIs for in-app purchases (IAP).
This feature is restricted to CoronaCards and the Corona SDK Basic, Corona SDK Pro, and Corona Enterprise subscription tiers.
In-app purchases (IAP) allow users to purchase additional content from within an app. However, purchasable content cannot be delivered through a marketplace as if it were physical inventory — you must either bundle this content with your app when you build it, anticipating that it will be unlocked upon purchase, or you must download additional content into the app using the network APIs.
To use in-app purchases on iOS, you must first configure your iOS certificates, App IDs, and provisioning profiles. Please review our Provisioning and Building guide thoroughly, as this is an essential task and you must complete each step correctly.
You must also configure in-app purchases in iTunes Connect, a task which is beyond the scope of this guide. If you need assistance, please review the following:
Start by submitting you banking and tax information to Apple. In-app purchases will not work until these steps are cleared — and you won't get an error message reporting this.
In the iOS Dev Center, create a new App ID that is unique and fully qualified, for example
In iTunes Connect, create a new app with the same Bundle ID as your app in the Dev Center. Then add your purchasable items with their product identifiers and classifications.
To use the Google IAP v3 plugin for
plugins table of
build.settings. When added, the build server will integrate the plugin during the build phase. Note that the
supportedPlatforms table limits this plugin to Android because it's not supported on iOS.
plugins =
["plugin.google.iap.v3"] =
publisherId = "com.coronalabs",
supportedPlatforms = { android=true }
In addition, you must enable the
BILLING permission in
build.settings. Please see the Project Build Settings guide for more information on the
build.settings file.
settings =
android =
usesPermissions =
Next, you must build your app — even if it's still in development — to create a .apk file which can be uploaded to the Google Play Developer Console. Once it's uploaded, you must activate it, but do not publish it yet!
The final step (at this stage) is to add your in-app purchases, a task which is beyond the scope of this guide. If you need assistance, please review the following:
For iOS, you must first require the Corona
store library:
local store = require( "store" )
For Google Play IAP v3, you must require the plugin instead of the
store library:
local store = require( "plugin.google.iap.v3" )
If you want to support both platforms, a conditional routine may be implemented:
local store
local v3 = false
if ( system.getInfo( "platformName" ) == "Android" ) then
store = require( "plugin.google.iap.v3" )
v3 = true
elseif ( system.getInfo( "platformName" ) == "iPhone OS" ) then
store = require( "store" )
native.showAlert( "Notice", "In-app purchases are not supported in the Corona Simulator.", { "OK" } )
Next, you must initialize the store using the
store.init() function.
store.init( [storeName,] listener )
The first argument (optional) is the store name of either
"apple" or
"google". If you do not specify a name, Corona will attempt to guess the correct store. If you're developing a
The second argument,
listener, is the function you'll use to handle transaction callbacks (details below).
After calling
store.init(), you may call the
store.isActive() function to confirm that the store has successfully initialized (return value of
true). Currently, it will return
false on a Corona app built for Amazon or Nook.
You can load product information that you've entered into the stores. Corona provides the
store.canLoadProducts function which returns
true if the initialized store supports the loading of products. Following this check, the
store.loadProducts() function will retrieve information about items available for sale. This includes the localized price, name, and description of each item.
store.loadProducts( arrayOfProductIdentifiers, listener )
arrayOfProductIdentifiers — a Lua table wherein each element is a string representing the product identifier of the item. For iOS, product identifiers must match those you entered in iTunes Connect, for example
"com.domainname.ExampleInAppPurchase.ExampleConsumableItem". For Google Play, use the same product identifiers that you specified in the Google Play Developer Console, for example
listener — a callback function that is invoked when the store finishes retrieving the product information.
The resulting
event table from the callback listener will contain the following properties:
event.products — a table wherein each element is another table containing product information.
event.invalidProducts — a table in which each element is a string representing the product identifier. This table will only be populated by products that don't exist or aren't available.
In turn, each entry in the
event.products table will contain the following fields:
title — the localized name of the item.
description — the localized description of the item.
price — the localized price of an item, as a number.
productIdentifier — the product identifier.
The following example shows how to use a callback function to retrieve product information. Typically, you will use this information to create a UI interface that allows users to browse and buy items.
local function loadProductsCallback( event )
local validProducts = event.products
local invalidProducts = event.invalidProducts
print( "Valid Products:", #validProducts )
for i = 1,#validProducts do
local currentItem = validProducts[i]
print( currentItem.title )
print( currentItem.description )
print( currentItem.price )
print( currentItem.productIdentifier )
print( "Invalid Products:", #invalidProducts )
for i = 1,#invalidProducts do
print( invalidProducts[i] )
local arrayOfProductIdentifiers =
if ( store.isActive ) then
if ( store.canLoadProducts ) then
store.loadProducts( arrayOfProductIdentifiers, loadProductsCallback )
--this store does not support an app fetching products
iOS devices have a setting which disables in-app purchase. This is commonly used to prevent children from accidentally purchasing items without permission. Corona provides the
store.canMakePurchases API to check whether purchasing is enabled. You should use this preemptively to notify your users if purchasing is forbidden. This API returns
true if purchases are enabled,
false otherwise.
To initiate a purchase, use the
store.purchase() API. When called, this API will submit purchase requests to the store. When the store finishes processing the transaction, the listener function you specified in
store.init() will be invoked.
For iOS,
store.purchase() expects an array (Lua table) of products to purchase. Each item within the table may be a string representing the product identifier. Alternatively, this table may be the array of product elements returned as
event.products in the
loadProductsCallback listener.
store.purchase( arrayOfProducts ) -- iOS
-- Example
store.purchase( { "com.domainname.ExampleInAppPurchase.ExampleConsumableItem" } )
For Google Play,
store.purchase() expects a single identifier as a string.
store.purchase( "productIdentifier" ) -- Google Play
-- Example
store.purchase( "com.domainname.ExampleInAppPurchase.ExampleConsumableItem" )
Currently, there is no explicit API to specify quantities for consumable items. However, you may place the product in the table multiple times and Corona will set the quantity behind the scenes.
store.init() enables you to handle transaction callbacks from the store using the listener function you provide. This listener should handle all of the following circumstances:
store.purchase() was called.
store.restore() (details below).
In the resulting transaction callback function,
event.transaction will contain the following properties:
state — a string representing the state of the transaction:
cancelled, or
productIdentifier — the product identifier associated with the transaction.
receipt — a unique receipt from the store, returned as a JSON packet in string form.
signature — a digital signature string that can be used to verify the purchase. This is the
inapp_signature returned by Google Play.
identifier — a unique transaction identifier (string) returned from the store.
date — the date when the transaction occurred.
errorType — the type of error (string) that occurred if the
state is
errorString — a (sometimes) more descriptive error message of what went wrong in the
failed case.
On iOS, the following properties are also returned, relevant to a
store.restore() call:
originalReceipt — a unique receipt from the original purchase attempt, returned as a hexadecimal string.
originalIdentifier — a unique transaction identifier (string) returned from the original purchase attempt.
originalDate — the date when the original transaction occurred.
After you receive a transaction event, you should take the appropriate action. For example, if the user successfully purchased an item, you might save this information to a file or local database and unlock the ability to use the item. This file can then be referenced in future sessions so you know that the item has been purchased.
The following is an example framework for the transaction callback function:
local function storeTransaction( event )
local transaction = event.transaction
if ( transaction.state == "purchased" ) then
--handle a successful transaction here
print( "productIdentifier", transaction.productIdentifier )
print( "receipt", transaction.receipt )
print( "signature:", transaction.signature )
print( "transactionIdentifier", transaction.identifier )
print( "date", transaction.date )
elseif ( transaction.state == "cancelled" ) then
--handle a cancelled transaction here
elseif ( transaction.state == "failed" ) then
--handle a failed transaction here
--tell the store that the transaction is complete!
--if you're providing downloadable content, do not call this until the download has completed
store.finishTransaction( event.transaction )
As noted above, you must call
store.finishTransaction() on the transaction object when the transaction is complete. If you don't, the store will think that the transaction was interrupted and will attempt to resume it on the next application launch. If you're offering the item as downloadable content, do not call this until the download is complete.
Google Play IAP v3 requires that you consume purchases to make the items available for purchase again. Essentially, once a product is purchased, it is considered "owned" and it cannot be purchased again. Thus, you must send a consumption request to revert "owned" products to "unowned" products so they become available for purchase again. Consuming products also discards their previous purchase data.
Note that some items are designed to be purchased only once and you should not consume them. For example, if a purchase unlocks a new world within a game, it should be ineligible for future consumption. In the Google IAP portal, these type of purchases are set up as managed products. Alternatively, some items can be purchased multiple times, for example energy packs and gems. These are set up as unmanaged products. However, because Google now considers these purchases as "owned" just like managed products, they must be consumed before they can be purchased again. For further information, please see Google's documentation.
To consume items, call store.consumePurchase():
store.consumePurchase( { "product1", "product2" }, listener )
In this case,
listener can be a unique callback function to handle the consumption, or it can simply be your main transaction listener. In either case, the value of
event.transaction.state will be
consumed. There are no callbacks for invalid products.
If a user wipes clean the information on a device or buys a new device, he/she needs a way to restore items previously purchased from your app (without paying for them again). The
store.restore() API initiates this process. You can check for
storeTransaction listener that you use for your successful, failed, and cancelled purchases.
In iOS, the transaction state of restored items will be
"restored" and, in this case, your app may use the
originalIdentifier, and
originalDate fields of the transaction object.
In the Google Play Marketplace, there is no
"restored" state for items. All purchased items will be grouped under the
"purchased" state. When you do a restore, you should clear all purchases saved to file/database — except for consumable purchases — and treat the returned restored purchases as normal purchases.
local function storeTransaction( event )
local transaction = event.transaction
if ( transaction.state == "purchased" ) then
--on Google Play, check and update all purchased items here
elseif ( transaction.state == "restored" ) then
--handle "restored" transactions here (iOS only)
print( "productIdentifier", transaction.productIdentifier )
print( "originalReceipt", transaction.originalReceipt )
print( "originalTransactionIdentifier", transaction.originalIdentifier )
print( "originalDate", transaction.originalDate )
store.finishTransaction( event.transaction )
The Google Play Marketplace allows for transactions to be refunded. You can check for refunded transactions in the same
storeTransaction listener that you use for your successful, failed, and cancelled purchases. The transaction state will be
"refunded" and, in this case, you can disable the content that was refunded, or delete it from the app locally if it was downloaded.
local function storeTransaction( event )
local transaction = event.transaction
if ( transaction.state == "purchased" ) then
--handle a successful transaction here
elseif ( transaction.state == "refunded" ) then
--refunds are only supported by the Google Play Marketplace
print( "productIdentifier", transaction.productIdentifier )
store.finishTransaction( event.transaction )
To detect which marketplace your app should use, Corona offers the following functions, both of which can be read before you call
store.availableStores — returns an array of Corona-supported store names available on the device. It will always return
{ "apple" } on iOS or
{ "google" } on an Android device which has the Google Play app installed, regardless of the store your app is targeting. However, Google Play v3 does not support this, so it's best to set a flag like
v3 = true to indicate that the Google Play store is available.
store.target — returns the same string as
system.getInfo( "targetAppStore" ). This will return the store name that you are targeting in the Android Build dialog. On iOS, it always returns
"apple"; in the Corona Simulator it returns
The following examples show how you can use a different product list for each platform and set
currentProductList depending on the available store.
local store
local v3 = false
if ( system.getInfo( "platformName" ) == "Android" ) then
store = require( "plugin.google.iap.v3" )
v3 = true
elseif ( system.getInfo( "platformName" ) == "iPhone OS" ) then
store = require( "store" )
native.showAlert( "Notice", "In-app purchases are not supported in the Corona Simulator.", { "OK" } )
local currentProductList = nil
local appleProductList = {
local googleProductList = {
--these product IDs are for testing and are supported by all Android apps (purchasing these products will not bill your account)
if ( v3 == true or store.availableStores.google ) then
currentProductList = googleProductList
store.init( "google", storeTransaction )
elseif ( store.availableStores.apple ) then
currentProductList = appleProductList
store.init( "apple", storeTransaction )
print( "In-app purchases are not supported on this system/device." )

Just to clarify, I know I can search while on the education site for videos BUT I don't know how a user who already has a clip knows how to check if that is already in the education section!
Hmm, Our staff go through a different filter to our students so that they have full youtube access rather than being redirected to the education version.
The problem with this is that they want to link to videos on our VLE but don't know if that particular video is available via the education version.
Does anyone know if there is a search filter that would only show results from the education version or an alternative method of how we could do this?
I am currently googling furiously but with no answers so far!
Just to clarify, I know I can search while on the education site for videos BUT I don't know how a user who already has a clip knows how to check if that is already in the education section!
Don't know but you can always add the clip to your edu channel as the admin.
I'm currently playing around with adding clips. Not sure how once you have added the clip the users find it. Would it then appear in searches by the user?
I believe the admin's channel is accessible by everyone using the header associated with that account.
So if the header is associated with username YourSchoolAdmin, heading to youtube.com/YourSchoolAdmin or youtube.com/user/YourSchoolAdmin (youtube seems to choose randomly which one you get) should bring up the appropriate channel, complete with playlists.
The channel names are case sensitive.
How is everyone using this? Have you given your teachers access to the admin account username/password for them to create playlists?
I can't see any other way to do it? What's the point of allowing their personal accounts access if they can't add videos to the admin playlist from them?
If you log in with your school's youtube account head to http://www.youtube.com/account_school, there is an option to give additional youtube usernames access to the account.
I've had a fiddle, made a test account and added that to the Authorized Users, but couldn't see how to add videos to the admin account's playlist for the students to view?
Hers another complete pain to go with this...
If a student browses to youtube.com/prentonhighschool (as they can go to youtube.com/prentonteacher because all thier videos are blocked??) the students can't click on the playlist that we have created as they are still blocked!
The only way a student can access an authorised video is by being given the link directly or if they browse to youtube.com/prentonhighschool and the video has just been added.
Surely this can't be right
How are other people unblocking certain "uesful" videos.
Are people still having problems with the playlists? I've made a playlist but I've no idea how YouTube expect a student to find the playlist.
If they go to youtube.com/schoolname or youtube.com/accountname they get either a 404 or permission denied.
I was expecting our channel to be added to YouTube EDU so that the students can just browse to our channel and view the playlists.
As reggiep says they can only view a video if they are given a direct link.

I have been waiting for an answer from google support since the beginning of January! They occasionally tell me they are looking in to it but have had no solutions.
Damn annoying! This has so much potential but its riddled with flaws. They could at least slap a "beta" sticker on it to save face.
I take it that you guys all have access to your own router? Ours is managed by SEGFL so we cannot even offer Youtube education as a result of which I spend a lot of time blocking and unblocking you tube on RMs crappy safetynet or have you a better solution? I was considering seeting up an internal squid proxy and and enabling youtube on RMs but it might be a lot of fiddling and may still not work - unless you know better?
I think the majority of users on here use Smoothwall content filtering. It should give you the flexability you need to allow youtube edu access. As well as all round awesomeness.

Bridge Bites: The Merrimac Coup
Date: August 29, 2012
by: Brian Gunnell | American Contract Bridge League
Historians of the Spanish-American War will have no difficulty figuring out how this week's coup got its exotic name. For the rest of us, there is Google.
Against 3NT, West leads his fourth-best Heart, and routine defense by East is to win the Ace and return the Jack. Declarer's King wins that, and Clubs are played. East can take his A♣ when he likes; West gets a couple of Hearts, but that is all there is for the defense. That's nine tricks for Declarer.
Let's replay the hand, this time with a wide-awake East at the table. He can see those ominous Clubs in Dummy and must knock out the A♠ before Declarer can set up the Clubs. That's right, a Spade shift is required at trick two. But shifting to the J♠ does not get the job done. Declarer will hop up with her Queen, saving Dummy's A♠ entry for later. What is needed is the spectacular shift to the K♠ that does knock out Dummy's entry (if the K♠ is ducked then East simply continues with another Spade). Nicely done! East's sacrifice of the K♠ (the Merrimac Coup) shuts out the Clubs and is the only way to set the contract.
Of course, after the A♠ has been dislodged, East must keep up the good work by ducking one round of Clubs, to complete the job of shutting out the Club suit. Why not duck a second round in case Declarer started with three Clubs? West will help out by giving a count signal, playing the 2♣ on the first round. This "low-high" tells East that West started with an odd number of Clubs and, therefore, that Declarer does not have three. Ducking the second Club would be fatal as it happens, allowing Declarer to scamper home with two Spades, a Heart, four Diamonds and two Clubs.

See post #3.
Problem is, OP posted this to a forum where the vast majority of it's members can get this brand new for less than asking price, considerably less. The first post should have mentioned something about being located outside of the US, to avoid some confusion. If you have any hope of selling this to someone in the US, then you need to come WAY down on your price. Probably to about $250 if you then expect the buyer to cover the shipping.
Gee! I just went to my LHBS & bought one for $300 total, delivered!

James Dennin, Kapitall: Everyone has to eat. But I have a hard time feeling sorry for the online companies complaining about the new Gmail format from Google (GOOG), specifically the site's new spam features. The problem? They work. The new function pre-sorts your emails as they come in, with helpful tabs to automatically distinguish which are personal, which are promotional, and which came from social media sites. The companies' concern is that with so many of their precious emails automatically siphoned off, who will actually read them?
Some websites, especially Groupon (GRPN), rely heavily on email marketing to match online consumers with local suppliers. These companies are now scrambling to get their customers to manually reset privacy controls, so that promotional emails from still go through.
[More from Kapitall Wire: Is It Time To Sell Groupon?]
Software for sending mass-emails is widely available, and providers make it easy to gauge what works. These companies point to their own numbers, which show that the new inbox feature has dented the amount of clicks an email gets by maybe 1%. However, Businessweek suggests that Google is up to something even more sinister.By rendering traditional email marketing obsolete, Google is in effect putting companies on the fast track to update digital advertising methods. Remember that Google doesn't collect revenue from the number of emails that it processes, but rather through advertising. If online companies are having trouble garnering actual views for certain pages, they may resort to making direct appeals through the inboxes themselves, or other online outlets where they know their messages are getting through to the right kinds of people.

Michael Keehan is a lieutenant with the Palm Beach Police Department.
About six months ago, he was at the mall with his two young children, ages 3 and 5.
MOBILE/TABLET USERS: Watch The Video
They were a little out of control so Keehan pointed to the mall security camera.
He warned the children the mall police were watching and they'd better behave.
It worked.
"At that point, I thought how great would it be to have a police officer be able to call your kid on your own cellphone," Keehan said.
That's when the Fake Police Call app was born.
Here's how it works: you can choose from 14 different scenarios depending on the behavior you're trying to correct.
"Everything from not telling the truth, not sleeping in your bed, not doing your homework, you name it," Lt. Keehan said.
You plug in your child's name and when you want the call.
Then you wait.
Shortly, your phone rings.
It's Sgt. Friendly from the police department. He asks for your child by name and then says he's been watching the child's bad behavior and asks the child to be better.
"Hello. This is Sgt. Friendly with the police department," the recorded voice says. "I heard that you haven't been wearing your seat belt. I need you to be safe and wear it all the time. It's the law."
You can also have Sgt. Friendly call back and praise your child after the behavior improves.
The app has been available for about three weeks and is averaging about a thousand downloads each day, according to Keehan.
"It's a good feeling to help out the parents," Keehan said. "Sometimes we need a little help to get your kid to do what you want him to do."
The app is available for both the Apple and the Droid.
There's a free version and a more expanded version that costs about $1.

NBC Set for Super Bowl Promo in 3D
By Michael Cidoni
LOS ANGELES -- Talk about a monster of a promotion.
Some 150 million 3D glasses will be given away for Super Bowl viewers to watch a 90-second 3D sneak preview of the big-screen animated feature "Monsters vs. Aliens." While 3D telecasts are nothing new, this marks the first time one has been done for such a large audience.
DreamWorks Animation chief executive Jeffrey Katzenberg called the stunt "perhaps the biggest media-advertising event in history." He wouldn't give a hard figure on the cost, but said it "involves tens of millions of dollars."Katzenberg promised the quality of the 3D will be superior to what has been done in the past. He said the glasses will use Intel InTru 3D and ColorCode 3-D, which updates the old red-blue Anaglyph system. The technology will also allow those without the glasses to see an almost ordinary image on the TV screen. But, Katzenberg added, it still doesn't come close to the 3D quality moviegoers will see in theaters when the film opens stateside March 27. "Monsters vs. Aliens" follows a group of ragtag Earthling monsters who are out to save the world following an alien invasion. The film features the voices of Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen and Kiefer Sutherland. The glasses will be distributed free at Pepsi/SoBe Life Water displays at 28,000 locations including grocery, drug and electronics stores and big-box retailers. The promotion was unveiled Saturday during NBC's telecast of the AFC Wild Card Playoffs between the Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers. NBC, which will air the Super Bowl on Feb. 1, has its own interest in making sure the glasses are used, as it will air a 3D episode of its series "Chuck" the following night.

Boys Basketball: Jevon Mamon new coach at Richards
By Michael O'Brien email@example.com May 22, 2014 5:38PM
Perspectives head coach Jevon Mamon, right, and Morgan Park's Nick Irvin embrace after the Mustangs defeated the Warriors 67-31 4Friday in the title game of the St. Laurence Sectional. | Mary Beth Nolan/For Sun-Times Media
Updated: June 24, 2014 8:05AM
One of the most sought-after coaching jobs in the Southland has been filled. On Monday, Richards hired 32-year-old Jevon Mamon.
Mamon informed his Perspectives-Calumet players Wednesday that he would be leaving for the Oak Lawn school.
"Leaving Perspectives is tough for me, this being my first head coaching job and having built up the program," Mamon said. "It's tough to step away from something you were building, but it makes it a little bit easier when you are going to a situation like Richards."
Mamon will teach history at Richards.
"I'd like to continue they success they have had," Mamon said. "The ultimate goal is always to win state, and they are the only team that has, other than Young and Simeon since 2006 (in Class 4A in 2008). There is a great administration at Richards and a lot of support to help that happen."
Mamon was 43-39 in four years at Perspectives-Calumet, finishing 16-12 and 15-11 the past two seasons. He's also a coach for the Meanstreets club basketball team, one of the most successful programs in the country.
"That was never really a part of the conversation (with Richards)," Mamon said. "Obviously, being a part of Meanstreets, that experience and being able to coach some of those guys, I think that may help. But it wasn't really brought up or mentioned throughout the process."
John Chappetto coached Richards the past 12 seasons, compiling a 219-114 record. He stepped down after the 2013-14 season.

Paver Protector specializes in brick paver cleaning and sealing but we also do a lot of concrete cleaning and sealing as well. Brick pavers are made mostly of concrete, so the cleaning methods used to clean pavers is very similar on concrete.
Paver Protector cleans concrete that is dirty, moldy and stained by using special power washing equipment. Our concrete cleaning process will not ruin the top coat or cream coat of your concrete patio or sidewalk like most pressure washing equipment will do. The methods we use eliminate the typical power washer wand mark or lines as well. No matter how dirty your concrete is Paver Protector can get it looking like new again.
And once the concrete is cleaned, it only makes sense to seal the concrete to prevent the same mold and moss from growing again in the future. Our concrete sealers provide a long lasting water repellant that does not alter the appearance or the texture of your concrete.
Below are some are few concrete surfaces that Paver Protector Cleaned and Sealed.

This shows the concrete sidewalk that we cleaned next to the neighbors dirty sidewalk. What a difference!

Paver Protector specializes in brick paver cleaning and sealing but we also do a lot of concrete cleaning and sealing as well. Brick pavers are made mostly of concrete, so the cleaning methods used to clean pavers is very similar on concrete.
For over 30 years, Surebond sealers and cleaners have been maintaining and protecting the most demanding hardscape installations. Surebond has been a leader in innovative sealer products, including introducing the industry to the "joint stabilizing sealer".
This Barrington home had 2 clay brick paver walkways and a brick patio that had been installed for aout 10 years. They were all in pretty bad shape when Paver Protector showed up to assess what needed to be done.
What is the black plastic strip along my pavers? That plastic strip is called paver edging or paver edge restraint. This should be installed along every paver surface that doesn't but up against a house or concrete or any other fixed object.
Paver Protector was called in to clean the moss, mold and old joint sand out of the brick paver patio, walkways and driveway at this Geneva, IL residence. We were also contracted to install new joint sand and to seal with wet look brick paver sealer. Power washing of the moldy retaining wall was also part of this job. Since we have a few photos of this work I'll keep the words minimal and let the pictures speak for themselves.
Will sealing make my brick paver driveway, walkway or patio slippery?
We get this question from almost every homeowner that we meet with. The answer is dependant on what type of sealer is used on your brick pavers and what type of brick pavers you have. There are some sealers that make brick pavers extremely slippery in wet conditions and there are others that do not change the texture of the paver at all.
The sealers that we use at Paver Protector DO NOT make brick pavers very slippery. A sealed asphalt driveway is much slicker than brick pavers sealed by Paver Protector. On most brick pavers you cannot feel the difference between sealed and unsealed brick pavers. On some newer more dense pavers you will notice a slight change but it is nothing that will cause slip and fall conditions.
The acrylic in our sealers is so fine that it fills the pores of the pavers as opposed to sitting on top of the pavers which would make sealed pavers slippery. Acrylic in cheaper sealers found at big box stores is not as fine and will create a slippery surface since it all sits on top of the pavers making them glossy and in turn slick in wet weather. The cheaper the sealer, usually the more slippery you can expect it to be.
We get a lot of requests to strip these cheap sealers from brick pavers not only because they are slippery but also due to premature failure and white hazing. In this case you do get what you pay for.
When Paver Protector comes to your home to provide an estimate and more information about sealing brick pavers, we will shw you a sample of a brick half sealed and half unsealed. So you can feel it for yourself. The sealed side has nearly as much traction as the unsealed side. You will be able to see and feel the sealed brick paver to make the decision for yourself.
For more information on sealing your brick paver driveway, walkway or patio please call 630-488-0069 or email email@example.com Paver Protector services much of Northern Illinois including St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, West Chicago, Elgin, South Elgin, Bartlett, Wayne, Barrington, Inverness, Schaumburg, Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Cary, Nutley, Hampshire, Woodstock and surrounding communities.
This Unilock brick paver patio in Huntley, IL had been previously sealed and looked good expect for the fact that a landscaper tried to install polymeric sand and left a whitish haze on the surface of the brick pavers.
This is one of the commercial projects that Paver Protector has completed in Dundee, IL. The brick pavers at the outside area of Banditio Barney's we're covered in Gum, grease stains from food, spills from drinks, citronella candle wax and mold/moss.

I ate so much at that Thai restaraunt I went to for lunch yesterday. Ughh! But I kept telling myself it was okay because I was going running later. Then when I got home from work I ate (for no reason):
a handful or two of chex mix
a couple handfuls of blueberries
a plum
2 hershey kisses
a jolly rancher sucker
What the hell is my problem?!?
I had a good run, though. I ran 6 miles and didn't eat any dinner or dessert. So the day wasn't too bad.
I'm not going to get a chance to run today which means that I'm not eating. It's should be really easy cause I'm hanging out with friends after work and can just tell my parents I ate with them. Yay, it's going to be a good day!
I'm still doing those 200 crunches a day.
I hope everyone else is doing well and losing weight!
I was 100% sure I couldn't get out of dinner on Saturday night, but trixie little me did after all...and dessert. I was planning on doing the same thing yesterday (Sunday), but things didn't quite go as planned:
I skipped breakfast and lunch and then went to a cookout for a friend that is moving away from 2-6 pm. I told all my buds that I had already eaten lunch with my family so I just hung out with them while they all ate. After I'd been there 2 hours with all this gorgeous food around me and not eating one bite and drinking lots of water I sat down in this chair with a big bowl of chex mix next to it. It was downhill from there. Without even realizing I was doing it I just started taking handfuls of the chex mix and eating it. It was so horrible! I ate like half the bowl. Then I went to church, the movies with my boyfriend, etc, etc and got home around 10. My parents asked me if I wanted to have a piece of pie with them, and I totally could have gotten out of it easily, but retarded me decided I should have a piece (cause I was the one that made it and hadn't had any of it yet). So then I kept telling myself "okay, no more eating" and starting watching one of the Sex and the City DVDs (best show EVER). But the whole time I was watching SATC all I could think about was all the food we had in the kitchen and I kept walking into the kitchen and walking back to my room and I wanted to binge SOOO bad. So I decided I would have a peach (i mean, fruit isn't too bad). I ate that but I wanted more and was going crazy so I let myself have an apple (better than the ice cream we had sitting in the freezer calling out to me). But I REALLY wanted to put peanut butter on the apple (I loves me some peanut butter)...yeah, and I ended up eating around 500 cals of peanut butter. NOT a good day. It could have been about a billion times worse though, with all the food I was exposed to yesterday.
So my fast lasted about 49 hours. I'm back down to 103, though, which is encouraging, but that was before my little binge last night.
Today isn't going to be much better cause I'm supposed to go running with some of my old cross country team mates this afternoon (probably around a 5 or 6 mile run) so I gotta eat lunch. I'm going to this thai restaraunt with my friend for lunch. BUT NO DINNER! And tomorrow I gotta eat lunch again cause I'm running again (5-6 miles). BUT AGAIN, NO DINNER! So that's the plan for the next couple of days...I should be burning off all the lunch cals with the evening runs. I would much rather just fast a lot, but I promised my parents I would run XC in college, so now I gotta deal with eating "healthy" so I'll have the energy to get in my runs.
Oh, also, I've been doing 200 crunches a day.
I finished Wasted yesterday. It is seriously one of the best books I have ever read and everyone should read it! Now! I could absolutely relate to everything Marya said, just not on such an extreme level.
Think thin ladies, wish me luck, and please talk to me whenever...I'm usually online all day cause I'm at work sitting at a computer and I get really bored.
I haven't updated in a couple of days because I've been eating "normally" (you know, three meals a day) and have been all depressed and too embarrassed to write in my journal. I feel so gross!
I'm better now, though. I've gotten a grip on things and feel more in control. I started a fast at 3:00 pm yesterday. It's sucks though, living at home and all, because I can't fast like I want to. Less than 5 weeks until I go off to school. Yippee! Yeah, so I have to eat dinner tonight, which means my fast is only going to last about 27 hours. It's pathetic, and shouldn't really even be called a fast. I'm going to eat as little as possible without being suspicious...and drink a ton of water. And I know I'm going to get a lot of pressure from my mom to eat dessert because we have a ton of it at home right now: blackberry and blueberry pie and banana pudding (all home-made). I'm pretty sure I can get out of eating it. Wish me luck, ladies! After dinner tonight I'll start another "fast", but it probably won't be able to last longer than a day or two cause my parents moniter my eating pretty heavily. Yeah, so I guess the plan is to only eat when I'm absolutely forced to, but I'm going to try to make plans around meal times or say I've already eaten whenever possible.
*Remeber, nothing tastes as good as thin feels!* I have to constantly remind myself of this.
Lately I've realized that I absolutely love to cook, but I don't like to eat what I cook. Hmmm, strange. Also, I'll spend a ton of time looking through recipes in cookbooks and online, and my new favorite channel is the Food Network. I love watching the cooking shows. Is anyone else like this?
I'm over halfway through Wasted. It's so good! I definitely recommend it to everyone who hasn't already read it. I've been trying really hard to hide it so I don't raise any suspicions, but the other day a friend of mine saw it in my bag, and then yesterday my mom found it. I just told them both that it was recommended to me by a friend. I'm pretty sure they didn't think anything of me reading a book about EDs.
Oh, I don't think I've posted this:
my AIM screen name is katehudson930
and my MSN screen name is firstname.lastname@example.com, which is also my email address.
So if anyone ever wants to talk or send me an email I'd more than welcome it...talking with others about this stuff definitely keeps me motivated!
I got out of dinner last night by [accidentally] falling asleep. Haha, how lucky was that? My stepdad woke me up around 7 to go to my aunt's for some family get-together. There was cake and since my parents knew I hadn't eaten dinner I had to have a piece. I got the smallest piece there was, though. It was some pineapple cake with very little frosting. Then I had a couple handfuls of salted peanuts. God, anything peanut or peanut butter is my weakness. I shouldn't have had the peanuts, I was really pissed at myself. The day wasn't too bad though, considering I only had a piece of gum, a small piece of cake, and a couple handfuls of peanuts. Also, I ran 4.5 miles yesterday morning, which kinda cancels out the food I ate in the evening.
I got up early again this morning and ran another 4.5 miles. I wanted to do 5 but I ran out of time and was still late to work. Oh well, my boss is out of the office today. I have to eat lunch (yuck) cause my dad is being sworn in or whatever as Rotary Club president and there having this big catered banquet. I plan on going to an hour of step aerobics at the YWCO after work, though. I'm supposed to have dinner with my boyfriend and then hang out and drink for a while, but I think I might tell him I already ate and just drink. So, I have to eat more than I'd like to today, but at least I'm getting a lot of exercise in.
I hope all of you are doing well and losing weight. I kinda slipped last weekend and gained about 5 lbs, but I'm better now and slowly losing again. Think thin, ladies!
It's just been a steady decline since my last entry.
The good thing about your parents being divorced: 2 birthdays, Christmases...
Tha bad thing about your parents being divorced: 2 Thanksgiving dinners, 2 4th of July cook-outs...
On Friday I went without eating until about 7, but then I had dinner with a friend at a Japanese place. I had chicken and fried rice. I had to eat because I was going to a party that night and was going to be drinking. I only had vodka and hunch punch, though, no beer.
On Saturday I managed to go to one cook-out without eating anything except for half a cup of lemonade. That evening, my dad was grilling chicken so I had a piece of chicken along with a nectarine, half a cup of apple sauce, and 4 hershey's kisses. Then my stepmom made a blueberry pie, so I had a piece of that with some vanilla ice cream. Not a great day.
On Sunday I had a few handfuls of goldfish and animal crackers for breakfast (so random). For lunch I had an apple and peanut butter and jelly (I'm talking a third of the jar). I like to take a spoon and dip it into the peanut butter then dip it into the jelly and eat it like that, no bread. I know, it sounds gross. I decided I definitely couldn't eat anything else that day. Then my mom announces that later we were going to grill ribs. So for dinner I had 3 ribs, half a corn on the cob, and an orange. For dessert I had a slice of berry pie with vanilla ice cream. Pretty horrible, right? Oh, it gets worse: Around midnight I completely binged (some more) and ate 1-2 cups of ice cream.
Yeah, so I woke up Monday all "I'm not gonna eat today." I ran 5 miles in the morning and then I went shopping for dorm room stuff with my mom. She decides to take me out to lunch at Olive Garden where I had whole wheat noodles (less carbs) and alfredo sauce...and a bread stick (so bad, I know). In the evening I had a bowl of multi-bran chex cereal. Then I went for another run (3 miles this time). Then I snacked on multi-bran chex for a while. And, again, I binged at night: more ice cream. Fuck fuck fuck!
I think one of the reasons this past weekend completely sucked was that I was away from my computer and couldn't see other people's journals or comments (always SUCH motivation) or look at thinspiration pics.
Today I got up early so I could run before work. I ran about 4.5 miles. I haven't eaten anything today, just been drinking a lot of water. I can't get out of dinner though, but I'm definitely going to eat as little as possible. Then I'm supposed to go to my aunt's house for cake and ice cream, but I'm not going to eat any.
Ok, so I have a new plan:
After thinking about it for months, I have decided that I am going to run cross country at Cornell. This means that I'm going to have to heavily increase my weekly milleage to at least 30-40 miles a week. With all this running, there is no way I can fast and still get in quality runs, which sucks because I would rather fast that restrict...it's easier for me for some reason. So, because I can't fast, I've decided that I'll eat one meal a day: dinner. And no dessert. And my dinners will be healthy, no junk food. My goal is to be under 100 lbs by the time I go to Cornell, which gives me 5 weeks to lose about 10 lbs. Shouldn't be a problem, it's just hard to restict a lot and be able to maintain my milleage and intensity. I'm SO pissed at myself because before this weekend I was down to about 102/103, but I know I've gained major weight over the past 3 days. Uhh, I can feel it everywhere. I feel gross! I haven't weighed myself since last week...I've been too scared to.
I fucking suck! Yeah, I totally binged last night...after I promised myself I wouldn't. I went over to my friends house to watch a DVD and she broke out the Cheese-It Twisterz and she knows that's my favorite snack food ever. Well, I know that one serving is 17 crackers and is 140 cals, so I decided I'd have exactly one serving, that way I would have had 145 cals the whole day (cheese-its + gum). So as I ate them I kept track of how many I was having and stopped after 17. Then I was like, "Okay, one more." And the next thing I knew my hand just kept popping those damn things in my mouth. I seriously had 500 cals worth. Grrr...and I've been doing really well. If anyone has ever tried those things they know how addictive they are. My friend and I decided that the cheesy powder on them is crack, so now we call them Crack Crackers. God, I can't believe I did that.
I'm supposed to go to this party tonight, which means that I have to eat something for dinner if I want to drink, which I totally do since its been a couple weeks since I've been drunk. So here's the plan: I'm eating nothing today except a small dinner and then a couple shots tonight, no beer. If, for some reason, I don't end up drinking tonight, I'm not eating anything today. Tomorrow I'll only eat if absolutely neccessary...I know I can get out of breakfast and lunch, but dinner is going to be tricky. On Sunday my parents are cooking out, which means I have to eat with them, but I'll try to get away with not eating much and that will be the only thing I eat all day. Then Monday I can start fasting again. The weekends are so hard cause I'm at home more and my parents know if I've eaten or not. The 4th of July weekend is especially difficult. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
So last night Chase and I ended up going to this local pizza place that seriously has the best pizza I've ever tasted. Or maybe it just seemed so delicious because I hadn't eaten in so long. Whatever, I planned on only eating about half but I ended up eating the whole slice except for the crust. Their slices are equivalent to 2 pieces at Dominos or Papa Johns, but a lot less greasy. Also, I got the thin crust, so hopefully not too many carbs. When I got home, though, I had the most aweful cravings for junk food. I didn't give in...instead I got online and read everyone's journals (thanks for the thinspiration, guys). So yesterday I had an orange, a huge piece of pizza, and tons of water. Also, I went with my mom to an hour of step aerobics. At least I didn't binge! I'm not eating anything today (except for a piece of gum). Stay strong, ladies!
Uhhh, I feel icky. I just ate a huge orange cause I'm going to my mom's aerobics class with her and I didn't want to pass out. It's the first thing I've eaten in about 48 hours (besides gum). I'd gotten so used to the feeling of an empty stomach, and I really enjoyed it, but I know I had to eat sometime.
I just talked to my boyfriend and we are going out to eat tonight, but no drinking. The only reason I was going to eat dinner was because I can't drink on an empty stomach, so now I really don't want to eat dinner. There's no way I can get out of it, though. I think we're going to this local mexican place, in which case I can just get a cheese quesadilla and pick at it and eat about half and he won't notice.
Grrr, I've been doing so well this last week and now today has pretty much gone to hell and tomorrow won't be much better cause I'm supposed to go out to eat with a friend. Seriously, though, Friday I'm fasting...and Saturday...and Sunday...and Monday...
Yesterday went beautifully! I successfully got out of dinner and dessert without raising any suspicion. The only things I had yesterday were 36 oz. of water and a piece of gum, bringing the grand total of cals to 5. I wasn't able to exercise at all, except for the walk to and from my car to work, totalling a little over a mile. I was going to walk (3-6 miles) when I got home, but when I realized I could get out of dinner/dessert easily, I took a nap instead since I was REALLY tired and weak. I couldn't believe how weak I was, and I realized I need to eat something soon, but I put it off until today. This morning I felt horrible when I woke up: nauseous and weak. I had to park (illegally, haha, but its ok) closer to work because I wan't sure if I could make the long walk to my office from where I usually park. Even walking up the three flights of stairs to my office was hard; I started to feel a little dizzy. Don't worry, though, I brought an orange to eat for lunch today. Also, my boyfriend and I are going out to eat tonight, so I'll be fine. I'm kind of dreading going out, though, since you can't get anything small or healthy at a lot of restraunts (well, besides a salad, but I don't like salads...I'm really picky when it comes to veggies, the only one I eat is corn, and occasionally carrots). Its probably best that I eat a decently sized dinner cause I think we might drink a little afterward, and if I try to drink after having less that 100 cals/day for the last few days I would get really sick to my stomach.
Yay! I'm so excited! My boyfriend (Chase) has been out of town for almost a week and I get to see him today...and I've lost about 5 lbs since the last time he saw me. I'm down to about 102/103...hooray, hooray.
I've started reading Wasted: A Memoir Of Anorexia and Bulimia by Marya Hornbacher. It's really good so far, though I'm only on page 38. Its just getting into her bulimia, which I really can't relate to, but its still interesting. I'm looking forward to the section on her anorexia, since it applies more to me. Anyways, I recomend it. It's tough trying to read it since I don't feel comfortable reading it when my parents are home because I'm afraid they see it and get suspicious. If they do find it I can always tell them I'm worried about a friend and reading it so I can understand the disease better.
Good luck, girls...be strong!
Yesterday was a good day. I drank 72 oz of water and ate 5 Triscuit Thin Crips (45 cals) and one piece of gum (5 cals). So only 50 cals total. Also, I went to an aerobics class with my mom (it cracked me up cause I was the only person in there under 40, haha) for 45 min. The calculator on www.caloriesperhour.com said I burned 232 cals, but I'm sure it was less than that since you burn more cals if you have eaten something a few hours before you exercise. Still, I burned off everything I ate plus some, so it was a negative day. Negative days are the best!
I'm not sure how today is going to go because I'm supposed to have dinner with my stepdad. He's not getting home until 7:30 or 8:00 though, so I'm going to try to tell him that I got hungry and went ahead and ate. Hopefully he won't try to make me eat anything. Wish me luck...
My weight is still hovering around 105, which I can't understand since I've eaten barely anything for 5 days. I can't wait until I'm on the double digits...hopefully within a week.
TIP: For AWESOME thinspiration pics, go to style.com, click on "fashion shows", then click on "power search", then under "choose a trend" click on swimsuits. You can see pics from any fashion show by simply clicking on "fashion shows", but I just like to see the swinsuit pics since the skinny models aren't hidden under baggy clothes.
Yesterday went pretty much as planned. I got out of dinner, but I had to eat dessert with my family (more fatting banana pudding). I had three bites and threw the rest away when no one was looking. I also had a piece of gum. So, total: about 105 cals.
I'm really starting to see a difference. I haven't been able to exercise as much as I want to. I walk 3/4 of a mile to and from work everyday from where I park, but by the end of that tiny walk I feel really weak. Lately fasting has been so easy for me (I know, weird). It's like, I know I have to eat sometime, but I just don't want to. It's hard to explain, but I'm a little worried that I'm starting to lose my ability to make myself eat, but I know I have to occasionally or I'll end up in the hospital. I'll be okay, though, cause I'm in control...not the food and not the disorder.
When I've been fasting and I stand up I get kinda lightheaded or dizzy. It reminds me of being drunk and is the best feeling. I love it! I see it as just another reward of fasting. Haha, does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Question: When I'm fasting a couple of days my muscles start to ache, like I've been working out extra hard when I haven't at all...does this happen to anyone else or does anyone know why this happens?
I'm in a really good mood: I weighed myself today and I was 105, and I can already tell that my jeans are a little baggier. Yay yay yay!
I did really well on Friday: I had about 3/4 cup of orange juice (around 80 cals) and a piece of gum (5 cals) and that was it. Total: 85 cals...and I walked 3 miles.
Saturday was pretty good. I was babysitting from 7 am to 7 pm, which is always really hard since it's just me, the kid, and a house full of food. In the past I would always binge, but yesterday I didn't (a big accomplishment for me). The feeling of control when I'm able to pass up food is such a rush. The lady I was babysitting for had just had a birthday, so there was half of the most gorgeous german chocolate cake you've ever seen. I wanted it sooo bad, so I decided I wouldn't completely deny myself (cause I felt like I might end up binging later if I did). I decided that I was allowed three small bites: one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. I also drank A TON OF WATER. [Tip: if you are ever hungry drink 5-6 cups of water; it makes you feel really full, almost nausious, so you definitely won't feel like eating.] Then my mom called and told me not to eat too much cause we were going to have a big dinner when I got home. Grrr, that annoyed me cause I was totally planning on saying I had just eaten while babysitting. When I got home, I still said that I had been snacking all afternoon, but I promised I would eat a little bit. So, I drank a lot more water, 2 small ribs, and one bite of corn-on-the-cob. Not too bad, considering. Then later my mom made banana pudding (you know, the kind with vanilla wafers and bananas and whipped cream in it). She knows thats my favorite, so there was no way I could get out of eating it. I ate about half a cup with her and then took the rest to my room where I put it in a napkin and threw it away. I'd say I had about 600 cals for the day.
Today I'm trying not to eat anything, but I'm not sure if that will work out. I'm going to the movies later tonight, so hopefully I'll be able to tell my parents that I ate after the movie. I've already gotten out of breakfast and lunch.
Thanks to all the great girls who left me comments (except for the one bashing ana), I appreciate it!
I have been reading others' journals from bluedragonfly.org and they are such an inspiration. If I'm ever tempted to eat I just read a journal and I get competely re-motivated. So...I decided I needed to make a journal of my own. I would love it if others left me comments with tips and motivation. Oh, and I would really enjoy planning a fast or diet with someone. You know they are 100 times easier when you're doing it with someone else.
Okay, the stats:
Current height: 5 ft.
Current weight: 113
High weight: 115
Low weight: 95
Short-term goal: 110
Medium-term goal:105
Long-term goal: 95
I did ok yesterday, but I know I can do better. I didn't eat anything until 5. I broke down and had about a cup and a half of chinese food. God, why does day-after chinese have to taste so damn good?!? Then I ate a Hershey's Kiss. So, at least I didn't completely binge, but the food that I did eat was FULL of fat. Grrr, if I had to have something I should have had an orange or something. I'm definitely going to do a lot better today. My mom MADE me drink half a glass of OJ this morning before I left for work, which was about 80 cals. Not too bad. I am definitely not going to eat anything else today. I think I'm going to a party tonight, so I'll probably be drinking vodka, but absolutely no beer. At least vodka doesn't have any carbs. I gotta be careful, though, and not drink too much since drinking on an empty stomach can be dangerous. Later...

Things are looking up for actress — and former High Pointer — Jenn Lyon
For the daughter of a preacher, actress Jenn Lyon doesn't exactly meet the church's definition of holy.
The former High Pointer has an undeniably irreverent sense of humor and a sometimes salty vocabulary, and in her best-known role on TV — the one that gave her acting career a much-needed foothold — she played a sexy barmaid who appeared, shall we say, scantily clad in a number of scenes.
"I think my dad would have preferred I wore more clothing," Lyon says with a chuckle, "but you can't have it all."
So is she holy? No.
But is she wholly devoted to this thing called acting? Absolutely. It's been a part of her since her days in High Point, where she performed in church plays, school productions and with High Point Community Theatre.
"I remember when I did my first theater in High Point, with High Point Community Theatre," Lyon says during a telephone interview from New York City, where she now lives. "We did 'Godspell.' I was only 15 — I looked older, though — and I played Mary Magdalene, the prostitute role. They had to call and ask my dad if it was OK, since I was only 15. It's always been sort of a dicey thing with me. My poor father."
Lyon's "poor father" is the Rev. Ken Lyon, former pastor of First United Methodist Church in High Point, who now pastors a church in Matthews. The Lyons lived in High Point during the 1990s, and Jenn attended Ferndale Middle School and High Point Central High School before her father was transferred to a church in Charlotte.
After graduating from high school, she ended up at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where she graduated in 2003. Then it was off to New York to launch her acting career.
"(UNCSA) is such a fantastic program, because after you graduate they take you to New York and have you audition for agents and casting directors," Lyon explains. "Based on that audition, people call you in and say, 'I want to represent you,' or 'We want you to audition further.' So I did that and got an agent, and slowly but surely I've made my way."
For the better part of a decade, Lyon worked in theater and formed her own comedy troupe — while working odd jobs to help pay the bills — but within the past couple of years she has broken into television, landing a couple of high-exposure roles on the FX network.
First came the role of Lindsey Salazar, a shotgun-wielding bartender on the network's award-winning series "Justified," which revolves around the life and career of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (played by Timothy Olyphant). During seasons three and four, Lindsey was the Kentucky lawman's love interest, a role that gave Lyon a lot of screen time and catapulted her career to a new level.
"It was a big deal," the actress says. "It was the first time I had done a recurring role on TV, and that sort of exposure is a really big deal. A guest starring role is just one shot, but for people to see you develop over time, and to be in a show people love so much is just invaluable."
As Lyon mentioned, her father — and her mom, Lydia, whose father was a preacher — probably didn't care for her love scenes, but they understand such scenes sometimes come with the territory.
"They've seen me play everything from a 1940s lounge singer to a contemporary rich doctor — it just runs the gamut — and they've always been very supportive," Lyon says.
The role on "Justified" led to Lyon's role on another FX show, the new sitcom "Saint George" (Thursdays, 9 p.m.). She stars opposite the show's creator and executive producer, popular comedian George Lopez.
Lyon plays Mackenzie, the all-American ex-wife of Lopez's character, with whom she has a son. According to Lyon, the show's humor stems from Lopez's struggle to balance the two cultures in his life — the parenting demands of his country-club-type ex-wife and the cultural expectations of his overbearing Mexican-American mother.
"It's such a great show," Lyon says. "...You've never seen this kind of mixed family on TV before. I think it's really inventive and funny — the writing is so sharp. It's also heartwarming, just an interesting mix of culture and situation."
The show, which debuted last month, has been getting mixed reviews.
"We're building an audience, and we're hoping people will stay tuned and give the show a chance to develop and grow," Lyon says.
Meanwhile, Lyon can also been seen playing Cheryl Hines' sister, Georgia, in the current season of ABC's hit series "Suburgatory," and has appeared in "Army Wives," the Emmy Award-winning comedy "Louie," and HBO's acclaimed telepic, "Phil Spector."
Lyon has one other iron in the fire, too — her comedy sketch troupe, called Poykpac, which produces original online humor and has received national attention from the likes of "The Today Show" on NBC, MTV and IFC.
"I've always loved making people laugh," Lyon says. "My brother was very math- and science-oriented, so it's safe to say I wasn't the brains of the operation. But I always loved making my mom laugh or acting up in church, much to the chagrin of my father. Anything I could do to get a laugh really excited me from an early age."
Poykpac, which was founded about seven years ago, has produced humor content for leading online comedy sites such as Funny Or Die and College Humor, and its YouTube channel has racked up an impressive 80 million views and counting.
"It's been great," Lyon says. "For the first time in my life, I can pay my bills acting and writing, and that's a real good feeling. People call us now, and that's been great. We've made an empire of fart jokes, and I just can't believe it — yet another thing for my dad to be proud of."
All kidding aside, Lyon says she's very happy with where her career is right now, and where she thinks it's headed. She hopes to transition to the big screen at some point, too.
"I audition for stuff — I just haven't gotten anything yet," she says. "But I'd love to do movies if they'll have me. I just want to be a working actress, and maybe even pay my parents back for all the grief I've caused them over the years. That would be wonderful."

Yeah, powder's great and all, but few things beat a rail sesh on the Forum Manual Snowboard.
The Forum Manual Snowboard's soft flex and twintip shape make it an optimal ride for city rail sessions, terrain park boxes, or any other non-snow feature. The buttery Gnar wood core lets you nose press like you're doin' it in your sleep. Forum also gave the Manual an easy-to-repair base, which saves you hours of P-Tex time after you session a not-so-smooth handrail in your 'hood.

great park board
If you like slamming rails and boxes this is the board for you. couldn't ask for a better board for the park.
this board is AWESOME. Very very good price for the quality you get, i love this board and i'm so happy that i picked this one, and i would pick it again. I can go anywhere on the hill and shred with it.
Awesome Snowboard!
This snowboard is very good for just about everything. It's good at resorts, powder, and freestyle. I've only had it for three days now and I've done all of that. It is pretty lightweight and feels really good to be on top of when landing a trick or flying through powder. I really recommend this snowboard.
Matty Craig
You Serious?
The things crazy man I mean completely off the hook. Tightest ride made. Super soft and has endless pop. I would recommend this board 100%. It's a cheap deck that's tons of fun. This deck is for the everyday park rider. I'm 5'9 130 and I have a 153 and I have plenty of room. I bought it a lil big.
Get this board its fresh!
does the forum manual board have metal...
does the forum manual board have metal edges?
yes it does good board
Brock Harris (Primo Dist.)
Forgive my French, but "The Manny" is the Red headed step child of the Forum board line. In that it gets used and abused more then any other. If you select The Manny as your board of choice you only have one thing in mind... Beat that board down until you can't tell what it is or where it came from. The Manny is used to getting some abuse and can take every ounce you dish it! It's geared for the "Urban" attack. Rails, Stairs, Ledges, Walls, People... It doesn't matter what you're about to hit the Manny is up for the challenge. Hell it'll probably out live you!
Perfect for the Urban Assault!

These pillows are the best thing since sliced bread! I never imagined I could find a pillow I love so much that I never want to lift my head off of it! I am tempted to order more to have for the future if heaven forbid my new ones wear out!!!!!!!
I bought a pair 3 years ago. Every pillow I've tried previously breaks down and becomes a hard lump. Not so with these pillows. You can still give them a shake and they fluff up perfectly.
Anyone in need of a great pillow should definately consider these. I am a side sleeper and a back sleeper and this pillow was comfortable in either position. I've never knew what a great nights sleep was like until I got these pillows (I ordered the firm).
I am recovering from a fractured shoulder therefore have found difficulty in finding a comfortable position when in bed.I decided to do some research and found your site and after having read the reviews decided that perhaps I would find exactly what I was looking for! My 2 pillows which have aided me no end in finding the correct position without too much discomfort caused from the fracture are just what I needed! The pillows mould into the shoulders and head giving me a comfortable support using either one or both pillows. Thanks to yourselves I am now managing to sleep more comfortably and would definitely recommend the pillows.
These pillows are replacing my 10 year old polyester pillows (which are flat but otherwise clean and perfectly good) and wow! what a change :D. They feel like down exactly except without anything ever poking you or the crunchiness of new feather/down pillows. I really really like them and they were fluffy right out of the package with no smell. LOVE THEM and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
My wife and I were excited to try these after reading the review on The Sweethome. We ordered medium fill, as we're a combination of side and back sleepers. After receiving these and spending a couple nights with them, we had to double-check that we didn't accidentally receive the Soft version. These pillows provide no support, and our heads sink through them immediately. I have tried sleeping on both at once, and I still sink right through them. My head ends up swallowed by pillows! On the plus side, the pillows fluff up nicely, and the filling is smooth (no lumps). So, the pillow quality is very nice, assuming you want a very soft pillow. They simply do not hold their shape when slept on.
I got these for my stomach-sleeping boyfriend. These are a big improvement on the typical poly-fill pillows that end up clumping into a flat brick. While these pillows flatten out a lot while sleeping, I can still fluff them up and feel the filling separate and aerate. For the price, this is better than expected. I just bought a different style for the guest bed and am regretting it.
Got them for my grandchildren. I hope they like them.
We were looking for some new pillows for my husband and I. We are both side/stomach sleepers and these had some of the best reviews for the price. I went with the firm option as recommended. I was expecting something more like a memory-foam kind of firmness. That is not what these pillows are. But, they are comfortable, albeit a bit puffy for my liking. They hold their shape well, and I feel like they provide good neck support for side sleepers. It is taking a little time to adjust from our previous, flatter memory foam pillows, but I think these will hold up well over time and are a great size. I would recommend them to others.
was directed to these pillows via Sweet home who wrote a long article about them. They're nothing special but are really comfortable and hold their shape.
