The Sample: Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum (Review & Photos)
21 Feb
Serums! What miraculous, wonderful things they are! I am seriously addicted to serums. Antioxidant serums, anti-aging serums, brightening serums, vit-c serums, resurfacing serums, hydrating serums…I can't get enough! Some of you might think that serums are a superfluous, unnecessary additional step to your skincare regime-but I have to stop you right there! Serums really are a much needed step in anyone's routine-no matter how old you are.
Take, for example, vitamins.Vitamins provide your body with a much larger and more concentrated dose of vitamins and nutrients than your average healthy meal. Think of serums as vitamins for your skin-they're more potent and concentrated than your moisturizer and they're meant to pack a mean facial punch. According to completeskintherapy.com "facial serums contain anywhere from 10% to 70% active ingredients, whereas most facial moisturizers and lotions usually contain less than 10%". Which brings me to the review of the day: Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum.
Caudalie's serum is "a highly concentrated oil-free serum that improves the appearance of dark spots, promotes even skintone, and boosts radiance". The main star in this silky serum is Viniferine, a patented molecule that Caudalie states is 62x more effective than vitamin C (for more information, visit their website at www.caudalie-usa.com). Found in the sap of grapevines, it is "the most effective natural molecule against dark spots." Viniferine is said to reduce existing dark spots/pigmentation, prevent the appearance of new dark spots, and even and brighten the complexion while providing superior antioxidant protection. This serum is oil-free, paraben-free, non-comedogenic, and sulfate-free. It does, however, contain fragrance-which I would've preferred it not to-but the scent is extremely light and unoffending. It also contains vitamin e and squalane. I do like that the ingredients list doesn't read like a novel-there are much fewer ingredients than in most serums.
The serum comes in a glass bottle with a dropper top. The bottle is thick and sturdy and the dropper works very well. It's well-made and would look beautiful on anyone's vanity. However, I do wish the the bottle was colored or opaque so as to protect the antioxidants and other ingredients within it from oxidizing (antioxidants will begin to oxidize when exposed to sunlight, heat, and air).
It has a thick, liquid-y consistency that is easy to apply and easy to spread over the face. I found that the longer I used it, the faster and more easily it absorbed into my skin. This is especially true if you apply it to damp skin (on dry skin, the 4 drops I use don't spread out as evenly on my face and neck). Once applied, your skin may feel a little tacky to the touch but don't worry, after a minute it completely absorbs and your skin feels smooth and soft. This serum is actually quite moisturizing and sometimes I don't even feel the need to apply a moisturizer afterwards.
When it comes to zapping dark spots, this serum is surprisingly effective. Obviously, it's no hydroquinone-but after a month of using this product, I could definitely say that my skin was looking much more even-toned and radiant. Plus, I like the fact that the Caudalie serum is more natural and not at all harsh or irritating like hydroquinone can be. I had a lot of acne scarring on my face, made worse by the fact that I didn't start regularly wearing sunblock on my face until about a year and a half ago. Definitely not pretty. But this serum slowly faded all the discoloration I had on my face-whether from sun or acne. And it really gives my skin a glow-it was not an accident when they named this the Vinoperfect Radiance Serum. My complexion truly looks vibrant and luminous and healthy. I love it! And I've been using it regularly for months now-my face has never looked better! I've tried many, many serums-some that contain more antioxidants, some more expensive, some from "bigger" brands-but I keep coming back to this one. There's really something about it that makes my skin look and feel really nice.
Pros: evens skin tone, fades dark spots, lightly moisturizes and plumps the skin, absorbs quickly, adds a certain radiance to the skin, contains antioxidants, mostly natural
Cons: I wish it had just a few more antioxidants in it-that, or it contained a little more Viniferine (listed as Palmitoyl Grapevine Shoot Extract in the ingredients-it's the 7th ingredient), glass bottle and dropper do nothing to protect the antioxidants inside

i am about to order all appliances for my kitchen reno. We are ordering KFGS306VSS kitchen aid cook top with 30 inch vent for our island. the granite fabricator just pointed out the out island cabinet is 22 inches ( may be 22.5) inches in depth. It has a 1 inch board in front and back to complete the look. Is this standard will we be able to fit the cooktop and pop up vent here? please help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Math says no. You need a 20X29-inch hole cut for the cooktop alone. If you are thinking about putting in a pop-up downdraft behind the cooktop you will have to modify your island considerably. btw, the performance of pop-up downdrafts is not good. If you can put in an island style hood 36" wide you will get far more effective ventilation than you ever will with a downdraft. I really suggest that you delay ordering anything until you have a complete grasp of what your maximum dimensions may be to fit the cabinetry and counters or have made suitable modifications to your specs if the cabinetry isn't in yet.. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 12 at 18:15
It won't work. In more ways than one. It won't physically fit into your cabinet, and even if you do a custom cabinet to fit in the downdraft, it won't really work to ventilate your cooking well. |
thanks a lot for your reply, the funniest thing is the 3 contractors we took estimate from never pointed this out to us. We are in a time sensitive mode, the total including the vent and cooktop is 20 + 1/13/16 . we have another option, to go with Dacor http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/DCT305S.html which is 19+ 1/13/16 the counter top total is 38 inches wide can go upto 39 as we are replacing that as well. |
You are talking about a pop-up (telescoping) downdraft vent, right? You realize that you have to have support all around the perimeter of the flange of the cooktop? The spec from kitchenaid is 24" deep. You can't simply add the hole sizes together. You also have a MUCH wider apparatus beneath the countertop to house the blower and telescoping mechanism if you are talking about a pop-up downdraft. It's your money so order if you must, but I really foresee some pain in your future when you try to piece this all together. I seriously advise you to get the spec sheets out and review every dimension before you place your order. Don't just look at hole sizes, look at the front to back dimension of the flange surrounding the cooktop. You cannot cut a hole in that, that is what supports the weight of the cooktop and the heavy pots and pans you will be using on it. You need adequate support front, rear, and sides, and you cannot be cutting holes where that support must be in place. I urge you to slow down a little and make sure you get this right. |
You are absolutely right. We do have the telescoping downdraft there already, we have a jenn air cooktop there currently ( not working though). I re measure the inside of the cabinet it is almost 24 inches, so my question is does a 24 inch cabinet mean the external dimension of the cabinet total is 24 inches. then we do have that. I am thinking to have the appliance store come and measure they do charge an amount but they take it off if I have them install this, which I am intending to. If there is anyone who installs this combination or have done it in past if they can give me the actual cut off dimension that would be great. I really appreciate all your help. |
There are cooktops available that are less than full depth. Like this one from Fisher & Paykel which is 16" front to back: |

Hi I have two sons of about 4 and 5 years and i want to choose a proper bedding for them. I think a proper bedding can make them sleep healthy. Which effects their all day schedule. I am also anxious about safety precautions. I will be great full if you could give me any suggestion on where to find good Children bedding online. |

Bergstroms I believe has organic bedding if that is the direction that you are heading in. Also look into the mattress you purchase. That might have more of an effect on a good nights rest than the linen. When my son was 10 he complained for weeks about his mattress, blaming his grumpiness and sleepiness on how uncomfortable it was. As the mattress was new I wanted to 'prove him wrong' and slept on it one night. What had seemed like a properly firm mattress in the store for a young child was actually the most God-awfuls night sleep I had ever had! |
I had a similar mattress problem before as well. We had bought our boys bunk beds and my older son was complaining that he ached when he woke up. I thought well the bed is new...can't be the bed! Well somehow there was a lump in the board that the mattress sat on. We ended up taking the board out and putting a boxspring on his bed since he had the bottom bunk. No more aches. Also since both our boys have asthma and allergies we put air purifiers in their rooms. Just stand up ones from Home Depot that were not too expensive and have filters that you can clean instead of replace. I also have one in my room. My allergies have improved greatly and so have theirs since doing so. I have found those things impacted them more than their bedding. |

i never gave a thought to my sons bedding except to keep it clean. i made sure they had good mattresses when we could afford it. |

This Indie Film's Wardrobe Is Worth $2.5 Million—Yes, Really.
Imagine having unchecked access to Dolce and Gabbana, Roland Mouret, Jenni Kayne, Yigal Azrouel and Céline's entire collections—millions of dollars' worth of wardrobe—and not having to foot the bill for any of it. A girl can dream, right?
For celebrity stylist and costume designer Sophia Banks-Coloma, our dream is her reality. Banks-Coloma started working on the wardrobe for the upcoming indie film Syrup (in theaters June 4 and on iTunes on May 5) five months before shooting began, and the looks are so stunningly minimalistic-chic that we just had to find out more about the movie's designer duds.
Syrup tells the story of Scat (Shiloh Fernandez), a young man who has just invented a new cola drink and needs the support of the uber-confident Six (Amber Heard) to help his product sell. Set in New York City, the film revolves around the notions of image, branding and sex appeal—and how all three are deeply connected. It's like Mad Men for the modern day, with a little nihilistic Bret Easton Ellis thrown into the mix. Even the characters' names are the product of market research gone to absurdist extremes.
Of course, if you want success, you have to dress like you mean business. "How far will someone go to sell an image?" asked Banks-Coloma as she worked on the film's costumes. For Heard's character, Six, she had to come across as sexy and powerful without being masculine or inappropriate for the workplace. "She's almost not a person, but an image," says Banks-Coloma.
Creating that image was work. "We had no budget, so I had to pull in eight million favors," she says. But soon enough, clothes and accessories from Dior, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chloé and Cartier started pouring in. "The week before we filmed, when the boxes started arriving…it was like Christmas!" she exclaims. To get the brands she wanted, Banks-Coloma sent off the script for designers to read. They loved it—enough to send the costume whiz a staggering $2.5 million worth of wardrobe for her to work with.
Throughout filming, Banks-Coloma thought about power dressing and the idea that "there's something very sexy about showing a body shape without showing everything." In the movie, you'll never see Heard in pants (she only wears one jumpsuit), but she's constantly shown in a pair of killer heels. "There was a scene where she's on the rooftop...and we had this whole look planned with amazing heels from Louboutin that were really bright," says Banks-Coloma, who quickly learned that it was illegal to wear stilettos on that particular rooftop. She was able to scrounge up a pair of flats for the scene—but alas, "They were not allowed to go in the shot."
It's all about perception and how far you're willing to go to show that you mean business—"fake it 'til you make it," so to speak. Some more faking that will be hard to catch onscreen? "We had already done a scene with these black Van Cleef studs and the earrings had been mis-returned," says Banks-Coloma. "We only had white studs...so we wound up cutting black electrical tape to stick on them. It looked perfect. You never would have realized it."
When she's not working on film wardrobes, Banks-Coloma dresses celebs like Erika Christensen, Shay Mitchell and Jesse Metcalfe. So what's the one biggest lesson she's learned from outfitting the Hollywood set? "I think that tailoring is really important and people don't realize that—and it doesn't have to be expensive," she explains. "You can take something to your dry cleaner to have it tailored."

Unlicensed lenders typically charge illegal fees and interest rates
"The huge fees and interest rates are illegal and often lead borrowers down a path of insurmountable debt. These lenders also ask for direct access to your bank account and many of them are extremely hard to track down, making borrowers an easy target for identity theft," warned Director Tatarka.
In February 2005, cease activity orders were mailed to 91 internet-based payday lenders and 27 were returned because the companies were not located at the addresses they claimed to be.
"These companies are not licensed to offer loans to Massachusetts consumers because they charge interest rates far in excess of what our small loan law allows," said Commissioner of Banks Steven L. Antonakes.
Payday loans are short term, small sum, high rate, unsecured personal loans that use consumer checking accounts (either post-dated checks or electronic access) to secure repayment of the amount borrowed. Repayment of the full amount and lender fees is typically due within 14 days or with the borrower's next paycheck. Partial payments are rarely allowed so if a borrower can't repay the full amount within the required timeframe, the loan is usually rolled over for additional periods of time and additional fees.
How Payday Loans Work Against Borrowers
If a consumer cannot pay off a $300 loan on payday from a lender charging a $25 fee for every $100 borrowed, the $75 fee is electronically withdrawn from the borrower's checking account. The loan is rolled over for another two weeks for an additional $75 fee. If this occurs over three additional pay periods, a consumer will have paid $375 in fees for a $300 loan that remains unpaid.
Currently, there are no payday lenders licensed or based in Massachusetts. Under the state's small loan law, annual interest rates on these loans are capped at 23% and fees are limited to $20. Out-of-state payday lenders typically charge annual percentage rates averaging 300 percent and fees averaging $30.
The Office of Consumer Affairs urges consumers in need of short-term cash flow to seek less costly and risky alternatives, including:
- Obtain a cash advance on a credit card or check to see if your bank or credit union provides short-term loans. While there are still costs associated with these alternatives, they are typically much less than what is charged for a payday loan.
- Ask to borrow money from a friend or relative.
- Check with your employer to see whether an advance on your paycheck can be arranged.
- Find out if you can delay paying a non-interest bill and make payment arrangements with your service providers, such as phone and utility companies.
- Ask your creditor for more time to pay your bills and what the late charge, additional finance charge or higher interest rate will be.
- Contact an accredited consumer credit counseling agency in your area. Counselors can advice consumers how to get out of debt and avoid the predatory loans.
Consumers with additional questions regarding payday lending should contact the Division of Banks Consumer Hotline at 1-800-495-BANK (2265), extension 501 or the Consumer Affairs Hotline at 1-888-283-3757 or by email at www.mass.gov/consumer.

The World According to Isaac Asimov
Posted: September 12, 2013 | Author: jhgardner | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Education, Science | Tags: 1960s, 1964, 2014, future, futurism, i, isaac asimov, robot, science, science fiction | Comments OffIf you're anything like the average employee at eNotes headquarters, you're probably still drooling over the forthcoming generation of Apple iPhones. So allow me to ease you out of your reverie with a fun retrospect of how our bright future was predicted near perfectly almost 50 years ago.
Back in 1964, the Jetsons were on television, the lava lamp had just been invented, and the Moon was as yet uncharted territory. Isaac Asimov was also a popular science fiction writer of the time, though it was still six years before he would write his most famous short story "I, Robot." Instead, he wrote an essay for the New York Times in which he imagined a trip to the World's Fair of 2014, five decades into the future. On the brink of that very event and in the middle of a whirlwind of technological advancement, let's take a look at five of the astounding predictions Asimov made for the 21st century:
The brave new world would apparently be designed without windows in mind.
One thought that occurs to me is that men will continue to withdraw from nature in order to create an environment that will suit them better. By 2014, electroluminescent panels will be in common use. Ceilings and walls will glow softly, and in a variety of colors that will change at the touch of a push button.
Windows need be no more than an archaic touch, and even when present will be polarized to block out the harsh sunlight. The degree of opacity of the glass may even be made to alter automatically in accordance with the intensity of the light falling upon it.
Sorry Asimov, but for the most part we still look to good old window dressings to block out the sunlight. We do, however, have polarized transition lenses in our eyewear. Though I believe science is still trying to work out a way that won't leave one with permanently halfway-tinted glasses in your averagely lit room…
There is an underground house at the fair which is a sign of the future. if its windows are not polarized, they can nevertheless alter the "scenery" by changes in lighting. Suburban houses underground, with easily controlled temperature, free from the vicissitudes of weather, with air cleaned and light controlled, should be fairly common.
Once again we've wasted one of Asimov's completely practical ideas by employing it for needlessly decadent purposes, like having a casino in Vegas that's lit to make you feel like you're walking the streets of Paris… but hey, it's something.
Food Preparation
Gadgetry will continue to relieve mankind of tedious jobs. Kitchen units will be devised that will prepare "automeals," heating water and converting it to coffee; toasting bread; frying, poaching or scrambling eggs, grilling bacon, and so on. Breakfasts will be "ordered" the night before to be ready by a specified hour the next morning. Complete lunches and dinners, with the food semiprepared, will be stored in the freezer until ready for processing.
For Memorial Day: Ten Authors Who Have Served
Posted: May 27, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Books, Books & Movies, history, Holidays, Novels, Top 10 | Tags: anthony swofford, catch-22, e.e. cummings, ernest heminway, isaac asimov, jarhead, joseph heller, kurt vonnegut, memorial day, mother night, norman mailer, old school, robert a. heinlein, the things they carried, tim o'brien, tobia wolff, writers at war, writers in the military | Comments OffWriters, perhaps unsurprisingly, are among the harshest critics of the word "patriotism" and especially of decisions to go to war. Many express sentiments similar to James Baldwin (Go Tell It on the Mountain) who said, "I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually." Despite their often vocal criticism, many authors have served in our armed forces. Here are ten of those who risked their lives and reflected on the experiences of war.
1. E.E. Cummings – Volunteer Ambulance Driver, France, World War I
"America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still."
2. Ernest Hemingway, Volunteer Ambulance Driver, Italy, World War I
"Once we have a war, there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than can ever happen in war.
3. Isaac Asimov, Philadelphia Navy Yard Naval Air Experimentation Station, United States Army, World War II
"No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be."

just general strategy ramblings
I've noticed that most of the people I've played with seem to view capturing clones as their main priority. Thats an important part of the game, but owning the two pumps has got to be the top priority imo. I've jumped into games down 20 - 60 and grabbed the tank and just dedicate myself to making sure the two pumps are on our side or at least not theirs. With all the targets of opportunity while driving back and forth between the pumps keeping them in custody, it doesn't take long till game is over with a 20+ - 0 win.
Now my rambling though is if someone has tried instead of capping the clones, just driving in and grabbing enemy clones, drive out of the base a short distance and then drop them so they disappear taking the spawns, then driving back inside to grab another and repeat. I would imagine that you could be creating more havoc by grabbing clones and just dropping than by capping. You could probably just go around inside the base really dropping them in the base since I haven't seen too many people worry about recovering them. If someone tries it out give a yell on how it worked. |

It's good to hear people starting to think about high-level strategy. We've been having the clone jar vs. clone pump debate basically since we started on the mod. We've done our best to balance the game such that those to objectives are about equally useful. However...
When you're down a significant amount and if your team controls at least one pump, I've found capping jars to be the way to go. The amount of clones stolen in a jar varies depending on how far down a particular team is. It's not a drastic difference, but it's significant enough to warrent focusing on Jars when you're losing. On CLN-DeathValley each jar is worth 4-8 clones depending on the score when the jar is picked up. The opposite also holds true. If you're up by a significant margin, I think focusing on the pumps is the way to go. It'll be very hard for a team to come back with 2 clones draining at a time. I've found it especially useful to defned the pump nearest your base with a tank, since you can frequently pick off folks fleeing with jars as they drive by the pump on their way home. As for the jar-droppings strategy: we also discovered that one in testing. I'm pretty sure to combat it, some clones are returned to your reserves even if the jar isn't properly returned. The strategy isn't entirely in-effective though. The best way to execute it is to grab a jar, hop on a Moscowboy (which forces the jar to drop) and repeat. I'd love to hear what other folks think about all this stuff...it's the subject of intense debate at the office. Last edited by Al[Demiurge]; 4th Jul 2004 at 10:16 PM. |

I've only lost one game where I maintained the pumps through most of game and learned lesson there. I'm only a 50-75 percentile player...I've seen the greats, know I'm not one. The only time I lost when I maintained the pumps the majority was against a really good player who could be me straight up 2 out of 3 goes. However he was down to zero clones but I was mostly wandering and maintaining my pumps instead of camping base to get him when he came in to steal. At the end we were both in the countdowns for end of game when he ended up winning...let me tell you thats a wierd countdown with numbers from all over the place being called out. Just so you know we had 2 humans and 8 bots going in the game. Strategy has worked in higher numbers of players all the time, unless I just get out-classed at trying to maintain the pumps...then I need some help from teammates.

and provided you do have a couple of clones left ie 20 or so, if your down a lot getting the pumps going and defending your clones would be my first priority. I doesn't take but a few minutes stopping them from stealing and holding both pumps to make it an even game. Then I would start really concentrate on stealing clones. Now I still advocate a smaller % of total force still going after clones the whole time...being total defensive like that is just asking for an A-kicking, but say you have a 5 team force...2 on pumps, 1 or 2 defense, remainder on capturing clones. Once your tied, 1 pumps, 0 or 1 defending, remainder capturing. Once they are down to 0 clones left, 2 defending, 2 pumps, 1 hunter/capture if they get any.

The more I play, the more I'm pretty impressed with the subtleties of the game as far as strategy. I'll try and sum up everything as I think it so far.
First my preferred strats based on score +20 clones: You've got them on the ropes, it can be all done but the crying. I would vote for around 25% of your team to be guarding your clones at this point. 50% should be guarding, repairing, and patrolling between the two pumps. If a pump goes down, 1 of the base defenders should head to that pump if an extra is available, but at least maintain 1 defender, otherwise your just asking for a mass robbery if everyone takes off to the pump. Last 25% should be aggressively probing and stealing clones if they have any available to steal. Not to mention camping inside their base causes lots of hell. Even clones: pumps, pumps, pumps. I would be throwing 60-75% of my team on getting the pumps under my control with remainder divided up between capping and defending clones. Once you have both pumps follow similar break as the +20 scenario since you have control of the game and just have to last it out. 20- clones: At this point, you probably don't have control of the pumps, and they will bleed you dry. I've played several games at 0 to 40 and by getting control of the pumps been able to come back. I would put pumps as the #1 priority with 75% of your team going for them and the rest going for caps of clones. Once both pumps are yours, drop to a 25 base, 25 pumps, 50 cap until you've pulled even, then follow the even strat or ahead strat. You have 10 or less and Opp has +20 more: Your in dire straights now, no need to defend as they won't get much even if they do cap (if you even have anything to take.) You need the pumps, but you really need the spawns to take the pumps first, I would be looking at a 60-75% cap, remainder pump/base split, once you get something going though, you have to drop back to 50% cap so you can guard your precious clones you picked up. At this point unless they fall apart, your playing for the stalemate endgame. Opp is at 10 or less, you have 20+: You should be controlling the pumps...keep it that way. Maintain them and it will be like a foot on their throat. They are going to be pretty desparate for both your clones and getting the pumps at least destroyed for a breather. I would be more apt for a 25% base, 25% pumps, 50% havoc/enemy base disruption. At this point most of them are out but you really want to disrupt them when they spawn and catch them with their patns down. You also want to be wondering around catching targets of opportunity. Have to keep a close eye on the pumps though, one starts getting attacked and some need to peel off and act as a rapid response force, base should be ok since some will die and respawn there to defend. Its ok to let a few caps on you to go through since the pumps will be stealing them back. 10- to 10- game: This is the hard one, the pumps are crucial, but not quite so. Every clone is precious, but its more important to hunt the enemy down and kill them. I would be more favored to think of it as a back/middle-pump/forward plan with a 25/50/25 split. Your trying to kill them first while maintaining the pumps for their little advantage but mostly targets of opportunity. If they have a clone balance, you grab and take it. Conservative game at this point if you have the slight lead...maintain it. Behind, and its all out attack at this point, you have to disrupt pumps and take anything you can steal. Roles of Vehicles Moscowboy: Takes out tanks, rapid delivery to enemy pumps, its the last vehicle available Tanks are the biggest baddest thing in this game. You let a tank run around for a while in the middle, your in trouble. They will have the pumps on their side plus they keep killing your teammates as they drive by. First priority are tanks for the bikes imo for the above mentioned. They are also good for hitting rapidly either of the pumps, or the Opp base, but I would use this as a secondary function unless your in the emergency, must destroy pump mode. As for "its the only thing available", self explanitory, but if no one is defending for a bit and you aren't pressed, I would wait a sec and save it for the guy who just got killed by the tank, since he knows where its at. Rapid respawn times make it merely a short wait and you have another vehicle to command...plus your defending. Barracuda: All Purpose catch all vehicle, capping Kind of "wishy-washy" on this one, good damage, but a tank will own it...its the capping vehicle of choice. Should keep this one on your forward flanks since it can destroy a base, cap a clone, and is pretty good at just running over the enemy. I don't have much of an opinion on whether you should have another ride with you or not. Sometimes its helpful, but othertimes its just a double kill waiting to happen...take your pick. Lounge Tank: Base Attacker, patroller, target of opportunity extrordinaire Do not keep this sucker in your home base. This thing is so powerful played right in situations it can handle. I prefer to have it basically going back and forth on the road between the two pumps patrolling until you have the game wrapped up. Then I would camp at the base of the hill where the 3 roads meet by blue base or end of the bridge on red side depending on your teams side. You can do a lot of interdiction from these two points and if your timing is right, get 2 shots on a barracuda to destroy it from either position. Keeping one of these inside your base, while will defend it very well, will almost assure you of losing the pump war. This thing wants long ranges it can see the enemy coming from, not up close quarters. Playstyle: When I do take a pump, I don't hang around if I have the tank. I get back in and start driving to the next pump so I am causing maximum disruption as I go back and forth. If you link gun the base that eats up more time, plus as I so love to do, I jump in your tank and kill you with it. Let other players with less important vehicles link it if they want to. Of course I don't wait around even when I have the barracuda as I take a pump, I'm off to the next pump. I want to get that edge of pumps to my side and if you go back and forth as fast as you can, eventually your going to catch the otherside in the middle of their link gun and just wax them and be ahead. All of this has been done playing with 10 player games, bots on Masterful level, with 2-8 human players and mostly come to pass for me or thats how I lost. I am biased on the pumps to win, like Al said, some are more for capping. Anyway, love the game. Forces you to go from defense, offense, and patrol based on the situation and what vehicle you have more than most games. Last edited by kanonfodder; 5th Jul 2004 at 04:28 AM. |

If you want a big personal score, steal clones. If you want to win, stick with the pumps. It is quite possible for the losing team to outscore the winners.

an obvious tip but still useful. when taking out a pump, stick all your grenades on it. detonate and then finish off with whichever weapon you like.
This is the quickest way to take out a pump and it will be in the process of being owned by your team before the enemy even know whats going on. |

"I buy 20 plus sheets of this a month and for the most part it's very good, especially for the price. However it does seem that Wickes are buying whatever is cheapest each time they restock as the quality does vary a lot. One month I might get dense premium grade MDF. The next it might be low density, floury, builders MDF."
"I generally like using mdf because it's strong, very versatile, it gives a good finish and you don't get those horrible little splinters like you can with ply. This time I ordered the 18mm because I wanted these for facing a newly insulated wall and I went for the big sheets to minimise the joins. Unfortunately I hadn't thought how heavy they'd be so they stayed where the delivery guys put them for quite some time because my wife and I couldn't get them upstairs (or move them at all to be honest)! Totally my fault because I should have thought of it but just a warning in case you do the same. We overcame it in the end and cut them lengthways in situ which made it possible for us to move them and still kept the joins to a small number. They were cheaper here than on another well known website too."

I used to cook when I went camping during my youth over an open flame and loved every dish and every minute of it. After married, I mostly worked and didn't have time to cook so the wife did most of that. Now that we are separated, I had to cook for myself and found the passion that I once had in my youth. What's more, I am pretty good at it! I am searching for healthy recipes to take off the weight I gained in marriage and this site is helping deliciously!
I kind of lean to the one pot meals, stews, roasts, crock pot recipes, and serve with a bed of rice. Leftovers store in the freezer very well so I always have something to eat when I don't have time to cook. I have tried some soups and they were amazing. Mostly use beef, but have cooked chicken, fish, ham and pork with great success. Tried lam one time but couldn't get past the fatty taste. I even fallowed a recipe that eliminated allot of the fat, but it is what it is.

First Class Carpet Cleaning is obsessed with options. The A+ BBB-rated firm's cleaning technicians cleanse carpets, but also branch out into oriental rugs, upholstery, and leather. They also banish dirt and stains from fiber-free flooring, such as wood floors, tile, grout, and stone. Even cars pose no problem, as technicians venture to customers' preferred locations to detail autos where they rest. No matter the chosen surface, technicians present clients with one final decision, offering both traditional cleansers and eco-friendly products that leave no sticky residue.
Johnny On The Spot Professional Services' hardworking staff launders floors and upholstery using products that are safe for children, pets, and the environment. Cleaners conveniently relocate reasonably sized furniture and foreclosed dollhouses before pre-treating carpets and luring dirt from the fibers with nontoxic cleaners. With the same focus and equipment, they also bring back the crisp, sanitized feel of furniture, mattresses, and oriental rugs, burrow through dusty air ducts, and lift mildew from tile and grout.
Not only does dirt cover our planet, it has the gall to infiltrate our otherwise immaculate homes with its dust, grime, and germs. That's where the techs at I Need A Clean Inc. come in. They scour abodes and businesses with one-time and regular cleanings, using client-provided products or their own arsenal of cleanliness makers. They can also get the job done the eco-friendly way, wielding products that preempt allergic reactions and the power of steam heated to up to 450 degrees. This process kills bacteria and mold while ousting grease and cobwebs. When they aren't disinfecting bathrooms, refrigerators, and tile floors, the techs also clean carpets and pressure-wash outdoor surfaces or an especially filthy family member.
There's more than one way to clean a carpet. That's the philosophy behind All Carpet Care USA Inc.'s carpet-cleaning treatments, which range from the very powerful to the very efficient. To tackle tough jobs, the team unleashes commercial-grade truck-mounted equipment designed to bathe stains in steam, breaking them apart and sloughing them up with extraction.
But the technicians emphasize more than the brute strength of steam extraction. They also tend to carpets and oriental rugs with gentle low-moisture cleaning, which is designed to blend chemicals with as little moisture as possible to lift up dirt and debris and decrease drying times.
When it comes to making clients happy, the technicians at Chicago Carpet Care are an obsessive lot. That's why they include a total of 12 steps in their carpet-cleaning visits, beginning and ending with an inspection. In between, they're spot treating stains, neutralizing odors, and rinsing fibers with a steam cleaner. If clients find any reason to be unhappy with the team's handiwork, the company sends back a team to re-clean the entire carpet. This dedication also extends to their other home-refreshing services, such as water-damage restoration, sofa cleaning, and pet-odor removal.
Vision is the backbone of Green Clean's goals. There's literal vision?seeing out of your window without being obstructed by grime, film, or attention-seeking shades. Then there's vision of a cleaner environment, which has led the team of window cleaners to adopt eco-friendly products and practices. They combine these missives with every window they clean, whether for homes or businesses. They also extend their Mother Nature-approved cleaning practices to carpets, tiles, and grout.

This review is a bit pre-emptive. Its a new purchase bought for a snip online.
It seems like just a nice clear gloss. Nothing special but perhaps quite moisturising.
No problems.

this is called nude, but it is actually clear. it's a little more pricy than my usual drugstore chapstick but i got it for xmas. it's a shiny gloss in a squeeze tube with a nice angled applicator. there's no flavor (maybe a little beeswax-ish) and the smell is a herbal/minty combo that is tough to describe. the texture is thick and slippery, with a very slight stickiness that makes it last. edited: i took off one lippie bc the smell can be annoying at times.

text: You Won't Believe It's Not Blood: 5 Synthetic Substitutes for the Real Thing The red blood cells coursing through your veins transport the oxygen necessary for your survival, and if you lose blood during surgery or in an accident, for instance, you must seek donations. But instead of relying on the blood bank, researchers are now working to make their own supplies. Some start with biological materials, modifying cow's blood or coaxing stem cells to make the much-needed oxygen carriers. Others hope to craft synthetic materials into blood cell substitutes that may deliver not only vital oxygen, but also medicine. Here, we look at five blood technologies in development. By Joseph Calamia Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 5 Synthetic Cells: Take One Samir Mitragotri, a professor of chemical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), says that when making red blood cells from scratch, remember the natural cells' unique talents. "Their shape is very well-defined, and they are flexible. Both of these properties are important for what they do." The 8-micrometer-wide cells, with trademark dimples, can squeeze through narrow passages (including capillaries and slits in the spleen) only half their size. Mitragotri and others at UCSB and the University of Michigan hope to mimic these properties with shapely polymers. In 2009 they published the outcome of their preliminary research, taking spheres of biocompatible materials, squashing them to form the red blood cell's shape and finally coating them with layers of proteins. Though their creations haven't quite matched real red blood cells' ability to bend (in mice, the natural cells are about six times more flexible), the fake cells can certainly hold their oxygen. Versions of the synthetic blood cells coated with hemoglobin can maintain 90 percent of their oxygen over one week's time. The next step is to test the circulation times of the synthetic cells in rodents, which Mitragotri expects to do in the coming year. But carrying oxygen is just the beginning. Depending on how long the carriers can circulate in the body, Mitragotri imagines using the hollow cells to also carry drugs or chemicals used for medical imaging.

On Skin: Overall, it's rather nice. A watery fruited flower with a soft musk base, it manages to be somehow pink in feeling. It's pretty, but iss unremarkable. A good office scent, I'd say.

While Andrew is at work, puppy and I have been enjoying some couch time...he loves to sit ON TOP. Tell me he's not the only pup who does this?
Andrew and I went to sign the lease for our rental home on Thursday. We thought that was definitely grounds for celebration, and headed to Olive Garden with our gift card. Hello yummy food!
We get the keys to our home tomorrow, so we went over to the house to check out the backyard. There's lots of yard space in the back and most of it's already fenced. We'll just need to add a bit of fencing, and Bud will have a GREAT time playing. :)
I don't know if I really want to admit that I've had our Valentine's Day wreath on our front door of the apartment, but I've finally made a new wreath. I'm loving my Pinterest knockoff!! Although, I need to practice my ribbon bow tying skills...tutorial coming soon, maybe!
And now, I'm going to soak up the sun, and get some reading done. Have you read Rhinstone Jesus? I can't wait to dive in!
What have you been crafting/reading lately? I'm so excited to move in to our rental, and actually get some rugs/curtains/etc. Andrew has told me I need to stay of of Pinterest for a while. haha...I just can't imagine how I'll be when we actually buy a house, when I'm this excited about a rental!

Language Arts Homeschool Courses and Books
Welcome to Language Arts Homeschool Courses and Books at Lamp Post Homeschool.
On this page you'll find links to the major categories of language arts homeschool courses and books that we carry.
Language Arts Curriculum By Subject
What subjects are included in homeschool language arts?
Many different subjects are included in the study of language arts, and it depends on the grade level. For example, in elementary grades homeschool students typically study spelling as part of language arts. Most of our spelling courses stop after sixth grade, but a few such as Spelling Power extend to eighth grade. In junior high and high school, students study vocabulary instead of spelling.
Reading and phonics is covered in the elementary grades and changes to the study of literature in the secondary grades. A wide variety of readers are available for reading practice. Homeschool students can practice reading aloud with their current science, history, and math texts. It is reading with a purpose and for gathering information.
English is studied in all grades and can cover grammar and writing. Grammar is studied through high school. Students who are planning to attend college need to master the art of writing essays and research papers.
Handwriting is usually taught in the elementary grades. There are handwriting courses for older students who didn't grasp it in the younger grades. For homeschool handwriting, it isn't necessary to repeat it every year if your student has mastered manuscript and cursive penmanship. The homeschool teacher can observe the student's handwriting and give instant feedback if there is a mistake.
There are two ways to go in choosing your homeschool language arts curriculum. You can choose a complete language arts course or you can choose each subject individually based on your homeschool student's individual needs. At Lamp Post Homeschool, we offer both ways. A form of the complete language arts course is the integrated unit study approach that combines several subjects such as science, history, and or language arts.
Language Arts Courses
- Learning Language Arts Through Literature
- LifePac Language Gr. 1-6
- Shurley English
- Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum English
- BJU Press English 1-3

I'm looking for some metal grill pieces (I don't know the proper name for these. ) I see them offered in stores like Hobby Lobby, as "Metal wall art", but can't find the width I need, which is around 6 inches wide. Ideally about 30 inches long, but if they happened to be shorter, and I had several, I could just stack them into a frame.
I want to fill in extra space in a wood project, about 6 inches wide by 31 high, and thought some green or bronze patinaed metal would look nice with the dark stained wood. Original color doesn't really matter, I can always paint it. Thanks for any suggestions. I'm posting to a few forums since I don't know who might use these in their projects. |

I have noticed the buds on the two new peonies that I bought in pots this spring were eaten shortly after planting them. I did plant them in a new area, and nothing had been planted there before. These two peonies are the only peonies planted in this area. Any idea what eats peony buds? And how to stop them?
The whole buds were not eaten at once. They were eaten a small bit at a time over a period of days. The plants affected were Mons Jules Elie and Primevere (both fragrant). |
Follow-Up Postings:
How tall were the plants when the buds were eaten? If an inch or two tall, probably baby bun-buns ie rabbits. At that size slugs and probably snails will put holes and bitelike marks in buds. I doubt if a deer because most will bite then spit out the whole thing rather than come back for another dinner. I lost a very anticipated seed head last year to some little devil with 1 inch hoofs. There are some worms that can cause the problem also. But look under the leaves and on the stems for shiny areas. |
The plants are about 1.5 feet tall. I did see a bunny near those peonies today, but I don't think they could reach this high. I'm thinking it must be some type of insect or something. I didn't see any shiny areas, but it did rain before I could get out to check. I took a picture of one of the buds so you could see what I was talking about. |
I just planted a peony 2 days ago. It has 3 buds on it. When I was edging around it, I saw a couple of brown ants on the buds, BITING, I'm doing research on this too. |
This evening I found two delicate leaf-green insects on my peony flower. I knocked them off and am going out again in a bit (it's midnight) to check on it again with a flashlight. I have no idea what they are ... I am new to this pest thing. |
I really wish I knew what your problem is. Something is causing the rest of my dozen plus buds to "fade." They were stronger earlier but now that I have my first two blooms they seem to be turning a little brown and shrinking, if that's possible??? |
- Posted by jenny_in_SE_PA USDA7 Sunset 32 (My Page) on Tue, May 10, 05 at 9:33
In both your cases, it could be the early onset of botrytis, a fungal disease that often attacks peonies just before and during bloom. It seems to be exasperated by rainy springs. Usually the recommendations are to remove any infected foliage and stems and there are some fungicides labeled for use against this - again, if this is what you both may be seeing. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cornell Botrytis fact sheet
I must have been overwatering. I stopped the every two days or more watering about a week ago but I think the damage is done. I'll keep an eye out for actual symptoms but right now the other eight or nine buds look like they are not going to open. I cannot imagine it getting better. Thank you each for the posting and the information respectively--very helpful. |
- Posted by Jazzmom516 Zone 7 LI, NY (My Page) on Thu, May 19, 05 at 16:40
There are two things that can destroy peony buds before they open. One is botrytis, a fungal disease that turns the stems and buds brown. The buds just wither away. The second culprit are thrips. A very small rasping insect. Google insect pests on peonies for more information. |
Anyone know what this worm is? I wonder if this is what is eating the buds. I have seen the same type damage again this year on Coral Charm. Thanks! Amulet |
I don't know exactly what it is, but I've seen similar (although greener) worms on my roses in late spring here. They eat leaves and gnaw on buds, sometimes kind of tunneling through the buds. Show no mercy and take no prisoners! |
- Posted by gardengirl2010 (My Page) on Mon, May 3, 10 at 12:17
please help - my peony buds look just like amulet's. what is causing this - have called a local nursery and googled but have found no answers. |
gardengirl, In my case it is those worms that were eating my peony buds. I have seen them in the tunneled out peony buds since I've posted in this thread. Wow. It has been a while (4 years). It is definitely those worms that did the damage, but I do not have an id for the worms, though. If anyone knows, I'd be curious to find out. What area of the country are you in gardengirl? I am in Zone 7 NC. |
I also have had those worms but looking at the damage in your post on another group it was done some time ago. There is nothing you can do this year except look for any worms on buds that have not been eaten. Next year start watching your buds sooner. Anything sprayed on the buds at this late date will have no effect on the buds and what ever has eaten them is probably long gone or there would be fresh damage/ |

Watch Metta World Peace Dance With Cookie Monster & The Jabbawockeez
Since agreeing to a buyout with the Knicks in February, Metta World Peace hasn't been signed by another team as a free agent. His brother has intimated he might have an interest in joining Detroit, but so far he's still unsigned. While looking for the next team he can help, since his attempts at leadership with the Knicks went unappreciated, Peace found some time to dance with the Jabbawokeez with an assist from Cookie Monster.
