I have some roses that are consistently hard to root. Most have lots of smallish thorns, like Gertrude Jekyll and Common Moss. I'm considering air layering, and think semi-hard wood done at this time of year might work. The way I understand it, you make an angled cut part way through a cane above a node. Put some damp peat moss in and around the cut and enclose in plastic. Maybe it would be good to cover that with something opaque so it won't trap too much heat. Am thinking that if I left that in place long enough there might be roots in spring. I know the kind of layering works where you take a trailing branch and pin it to the ground, but my Gertrude plant doesn't trail. It goes up and out. I guess I'll just try it and see if it works. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I tried this once on 'Celestial'. I got a LOT of callousing, but no roots in that case. There was a forum member a couple of years ago who was singing the praises of rooter pots ... essentially a two part plastic contraption that does the same thing as the wrapping to keep the media moist and in place around the stem while we are praying for roots. If I remember correctly, he had some really decent success with them. I think he said he got them from Lee Valley, or some place like that. Google 'rooter pot' and see what you get. |
Thanks, Connie! I looked them up. I think the only thing different about them and just wrapping some peat moss around a stem is the water reservoir. Since they're kind of expensive I think I'll try what I have on hand first. It LOOKS like you could make your own rooter pot with a small plastic drinking cup with a lid. But I guess there is a raised lip around the lower hole that keeps water in. I am not sure yet how fast a traditional air layer would dry out, but assume it works at least part of the time. I asked Paul Zimmerman why these particular roses are hard to root and he said it's a mystery why some are hard to root..a plant can be very vigorous and still balk at rooting. I see other people have trouble rooting teas whereas they are easy here. |
Lee Valley Tools sells a kit called The Rooter Pot that does this kind of rooting right on the plant. |

Thank you, Seil. I must try plain old cheap air layering methods first, because those pots could add up if you wanted to propagate a bunch of them. Am not sure the additional moisture is necessary..guess I'll find out. A plant would look pretty ugly with a lot of air layer pouches on the canes though, at least for awhile. |
I always thought the method in the video (see link) was very cool. It shows air layering a grape. Certainly should be able to be modified and used on a rose. I would use a lot smaller bottle, like a small juice bottle or water bottle, etc. A smaller bottle would also allow it to be attached directly to the bush, if not a small stake would support it. Also check out the video on "propagating a michelia alba" on the same page. That's a lot of scraping. |

Down in the Dungeons
A Card of the Week for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game |
A Game of Thrones LCG | Published 09 December 2010 |
"Traitors have always paid with their lives."
- A Song of Ice and Fire, Volume III: A Storm of Swords
Hello and Welcome Back, Loyal A Game of Thrones Fans!
We hope you've been enjoying our spoilers of the Brotherhood Without Banners cycle so far. We are now approaching the end of the cycle, and so with this week's spoiler we commence our previews of the sixth and final Chapter Pack, The Dreadfort Betrayal.
If you've been following the Brotherhood Without Banners up till now, you've already gotten some insight into what The Dreadfort Betrayal has to offer, namely, some interesting boosts for House Stark via the House Bolton trait. House Bolton, of course, is all about faltering loyalty and features effects that revolve around the shifting control of characters. As seen in cards like The Bastard's Elite or Steelshanks' Reserves*, House Bolton features characters with favorable cost-to-strength ratios (a bonus for the usually cash-strapped House Stark), but with the drawback that you can lose control of them if you're not prepared. The Bastard's Elite are pretty nice when they're fighting for you, but lose a military challenge and suddenly you're staring them down.
While Brotherhood Without Banners has mostly featured new and sometimes counterintuitive strategies for each House, House Bolton offers some nice options for House Stark without having to play too far against type. If you're playing a typical House Stark deck, losing a military challenge should hold little fear and therefore your Bastard's Elite probably won't be pointed back at you very often**. Still, losing control of a House Bolton character can happen to the best of us and moreover, you can sometimes let it happen to your advantage. Case in point, Terror in the Dungeons.
With Terror in the Dungeons you can make your opponents pay for taking control of a House Bolton character. Granted, because of the general low cost of House Bolton characters, you won't be taking out anything massive with this card. Even so, there are plenty of bothersome low-cost characters that can be killed with Terror in the Dungeons, turning what might have been a bonus for your opponent into a sudden drawback. It is unfortunate that you also have to kill a House Bolton character to pull off the effect, but then again, that is one less House Bolton character that you will have to worry about later on. Besides, traitors must pay.
So there you have it. We hope we've given you plenty to discuss here in the comments and on the A Game of Thrones forums. Until next time!
* Rituals of R'hllor, F21 and A Song of Silence, F61, respectively.
** This is especially true of a Siege of Winterfell deck. (Lords of Winterfell, F48)
Based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, playable by 2-4 players, brings the beloved heroes, villains, locations, and events of the world of Westeros to life through innovative game mechanics and the highly strategic game play. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Chapter Pack expansions to the core game.
As if I didn't already hate those Bolton decks. Thankfully Stark doesn't have great draw, because with the Weeping Water they could pull off some sick combos over and over again. They still can, but then it becomes pretty much the only thing they are doing.
Boltons look pretty strong alright.
I wanted an event that was titled "Jaime Lannister sends his regards." but this looks fun
Scary. Plenty of ideas come to my mind.
Best trait of this cycle, for sure...
No words about the next cycle yet... but I think I will enjoy the Bolton cards once I build a deck with them. Too bad another Stark build has to be tested before by me

Glass bottles make significantly better containers for carbonated beverages due to the fact that air can diffuse through plastic, allowing the CO2 to escape. Thus, carbonated beverages stored in plastic containers have a much shorter shelf life than their glass counterparts.
Glass Bottled Drinks Retain Their Carbonation Much Longer Than Plastic

But what about aluminum cans?
Is this why plastic bottles of soda always seem so over-gassed? Compensating for possible CO2 loss between manufacture and consumption? Way too fizzy compared to bottled or especially soda fountain.

52. Then comes the dispersion of the cover that hides the light.
53. And then the mind becomes fit for concentration.
54. The fifth constituent of yoga, pratyahar - returning to the source - is the restoration of the mind's ability to control the senses by renouncing the distractions of outside objects.
55. Then comes the complete mastery over all the senses.
"Man is being abolished," says C. S. Lewis. "Good riddance," says B. F. Skinner. "How like a god," says Shakespeare's Hamlet about man. "How like a dog," says Pavlov. The trouble is that man is both - godlike, doglike, both. If man was a unity - doglike or godlike - there would have been no problem. The problem arises because man is a paradox: on the surface, worse than any dog; at the center, glorious, more glorious than any god.
If you look at man just from the outside, you cannot say that if man is being abolished there is some harm - "It is good, good riddance. Skinner is right. The earth will be better; at least, more silent. Nature will be happier." But if you look at man deep, in his infinite depth, then without man the earth may be silent, but that silence will be dead. It will not have any music in it. It will not have any depth in it. Flowers will be there, but they will not be beautiful anymore. Who will feel their beauty? Who will know their beauty? Birds will go on singing, but who will call the singing poetic, mysterious? Trees will be green, but will not be green at the same time, because that greenery has to be recognized by a deep resonance of the human heart.
With man, appreciation will disappear. With man, prayer will disappear. With man, God will disappear. The earth will be there, but ungodly. The silence, but the silence of the cemetery. The silence will not be throbbing with the heart. It may be spread all over the earth, it may have expansion, but it will miss depth - and a silence without depth is no longer silence. The world will be profane; it won't be sacred anymore.
Man creates the holy, because deep hidden behind man is the holy. Man cannot live without temples, without churches, without mosques, because man himself is a temple. He goes on creating temples - even atheists create temples. Look at the temple of the Kremlin. Communists passing before the Kremlin or before the mausoleum of Lenin are as worshipful as any theist worshipping any other god. Man cannot live without a god because deep down he is a god.
The problem, the trouble, arises because man is both: a bridge stretched between two eternities - between matter and mind, between this world and that, between the profane and the sacred, between life and death. That's the beauty also: with the mystery, with the paradox, man is not only a puzzle, he also becomes a mystery.

50 Years of 50 "Must Have" Toys
Ok, I'm going to ask a personal question: how old are you? Too personal? Ok, ok… I won't dig that deep here. How about: what toy was popular for christmas when you were 10 years old? I know you remember it. In those exciting youthful days, there was always a "must have" gift on the list… something that would absolutely crush Christmas without finding it under the tree. Was it a Cabbage Patch Kid, a Hot Wheels car, or a Razor scooter? For me it was a remote control submarine from the Sears Wishbook. Remember that?

Digging Up PlayStations: Modern Fossils from Christopher Locke
Today's top of the line technology will soon be the relics of the past… and it all happens so quick. Your brand-new iPhone will be miles behind in 3 short years, if its fragile design even allows it to last that long. Christopher Locke's project explores this societal fact by greatly accelerating time in his series Modern Fossils. Here we see the cutting-edge tech of the not-so-distant past transformed into rock-encased objects: from a PlayStation Dual Shock controller, to a truly obsolete 8-track tape. Each looks like it was dug up from a Planet of the Apes scenario in the distant future. [Read more…]

This is a reconditioned unit. It will not run at full throttle unless I turn it sideways! I have clean spark arrestor and sprayed carb cleaner, and am at a loss as to how to get it to run upright! any suggestions? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check the in-tank fuel filter to know it's in the full tank of fuel. Otherwise, I wonder if you have trash on the small fuel filter in the carb? Look good for any possible leaking fuel lines sucking air. Did it run OK initially and this just started? If so, think back as to what could have started this. Look at your carb linkage close and compare the carb's throttle plate in both situations. |

Pink eye shadow can be trickybecause of the skin's own natural flushed tones, a too-sheer pink can give the eyes a tired appearance.

WASHINGTON - The Democratic-controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee dismissed President Bush's plans to increase troops strength in Iraq on Wednesday as "not in the national interest," an unusual wartime repudiation of the commander in chief.
The vote on the nonbinding measure was 12-9 and largely along party lines.
"We better be damn sure we know what we're doing, all of us, before we put 22,000 more Americans into that grinder," said Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, the sole Republican to join 11 Democrats in support of the measure.
Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., the panel's chairman, said the legislation is "not an attempt to embarrass the president. ... It's an attempt to save the president from making a significant mistake with regard to our policy in Iraq."
The full Senate is scheduled to begin debate on the measure next week, and Biden has said he is willing to negotiate changes in hopes of attracting support from more Republicans.
House Democrats intend to hold a vote shortly after the Senate acts.
Even Republicans opposed to the legislation expressed unease with the revised policy involving a war that has lasted nearly four years, claimed the lives of more than 3,000 U.S. troops and helped Democrats win control of Congress in last fall's elections.
"I am not confident that President Bush's plan will succeed," said Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, senior Republican on the committee.
But he said in advance he would vote against the measure. "It is unclear to me how passing a nonbinding resolution that the president has already said he will ignore will contribute to any improvement or modification of our Iraq policy."
"The president is deeply invested in this plan, and the deployments ... have already begun," Lugar added.
He suggested a more forceful role for Congress, and said lawmakers must ensure the administration is "planning for contingencies, including the failure of the Iraqi government to reach compromises and the persistence of violence despite U.S. and Iraqi government efforts."
Separately, Vice President Dick Cheney said passage of a Senate resolution would not change the administration's new strategy in Iraq.
"The Congress has control over the purse strings. They have the right, obviously, if they want, to cut off funding," Cheney said in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN.
"But in terms of this effort, the president has made his decision. We've consulted extensively with them. We'll continue to consult with the Congress. But the fact of the matter is, we need to get the job done."
Divisions over the war were on clear display as the committee met.
Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said he wanted to change the measure to say flatly that the number of troops in Iraq "may not exceed the levels" in place before Bush announced his new policy. The suggestion failed, 15-6.
Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., sought to amend the legislation to show support for an increase troops in the Anbar province in western Iraq, but not in Baghdad, where the sectarian violence is particularly fierce. His proposal also fell, 17-4.
Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., chastised fellow lawmakers, accusing them of being reticent to respond to Bush's plans. He said he would seek passage of legislation at a later date cutting off funds for the war.
Hagel's remarks were among the most impassioned of the day, and he was unstinting in his criticism of the White House.
"There is no strategy," he said of the Bush administration's war management. "This is a pingpong game with American lives. These young men and women that we put in Anbar province, in Iraq, in Baghdad are not beans; they're real lives. And we better be damn sure we know what we're doing, all of us, before we put 22,000 more Americans into that grinder."
A Vietnam veteran, he fairly lectured fellow senators not to duck a painful debate about a war that has grown increasingly unpopular as it has gone on. "No president of the United States can sustain a foreign policy or a war policy without the sustained support of the American people," Hagel said.
At least eight Republican senators, including Hagel, say they now back legislative proposals registering objections to Bush's decision to boost U.S. military strength in Iraq by 21,500 troops.
The growing list - which includes Sens. Gordon Smith, George Voinovich and Sam Brownback - has emboldened Democrats, who are pushing for a vote in the full Senate by next week to rebuke the president's Iraq policy.
In his State of the Union speech Tuesday night, Bush urged skeptical members of Congress to give the plan a chance to work.
Many lawmakers remained reluctant.
"I wonder whether the clock has already run out," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. She said she was worried that U.S. troops in Iraq are already perceived "not as liberators but as occupiers."
Bush did get a word of support from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, one of the 2008 Republican presidential hopefuls.
"I believe we should give the president the support to do this. I want us to be successful in Iraq," he said Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show. "I know how important it is to the overall war on terror. Success in Iraq means a more peaceful world for America, it means a victory against terrorists. Failure in Iraq means a big defeat against terrorists and the war on terror is going to be tougher for us."
But Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., appearing on the same show, said, "I think all of us are talking about a phased redeployment which would leave American troops in the region to send a strong message, not only to the Iraqi government that we want to help them, but also to neighbors, like Iran, that we're not abandoning the field."

The biggest problem this government has is that it is attempting to fool a populace who are more intelligent than they are. Every week that goes by, there seems to be one story, or several, coming from the PC's, that defies logic and common sense. Bill C-29, No Burton Winters inquiry, an orgy of Plum Patronage Appointments...followed by desperate cries of deficit, just when public service employees contract negotiations are ongoing. Using our tax dollars to fund poll fixing and schedule open line calls. I suggest our provincial PC's adopt an animal symbol for their party, like they do South of the border. The Hear,See,Speak no evil monkeys: The PC's don't Hear peoples concerns --unless they are big business. Thanks to C-29, we don't See the truth. They are afraid of, try to influence, free Speech.

Drug Trafficker Sentenced to Life in Prison
Tampa, Fl - U.S. Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces that U.S. District Judge William J. Castagna today sentenced Valarian Jaymonn Brown (39, St. Petersburg) to life in federal prison for conspiring to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine. Brown was also sentenced to 30 years on the two other charges: conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of 500 grams or more of cocaine. A term of life imprisonment was imposed because of Brown's prior felony drug convictions.
Brown was found guilty on December 9, 2011. Evidence at trial showed that, from 2003 through 2011, Brown and others transported cocaine and marijuana from Houston, Texas to St. Petersburg, Florida. In addition to transporting the cocaine and marijuana by tractor trailer, the group used the U.S. Postal Service and UPS to ship packages containing the illegal drugs. Testimony at trial revealed that the group transported more than 150 kilograms of cocaine and hundreds of pounds of marijuana from Texas to Florida.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shauna S. Hale.

Sometimes you meet people and you instantly love them. Such is the case with me and the young man that is being featured in today's Style Influencer Series. He and I met a few years ago and have been the best of friends ever since. Along with a host of other things, our love for style was one of the things that brought us together. So, I'm proud to introduce you all to My Stylish Friend Kraig Jamaal of Just Jamaal.
Check out this interview I did with Kraig a few weeks ago:
Who is Kraig Jamaal?
I am a free-spirit individual who has learned to take advantage of everyday that I am given. I'm inspired by the people and things around me. I'm very balanced with my career, goals and leisure lifestyle. I've learned very quickly to be driven, demanding and outspoken in the fashion industry. Im very fast paced and sometimes hard to keep up with. I usually go against the grain meaning I hate following crowds and trends so, whats usually IN is usually OUT for me. I love to travel for work or pleasure. When in Atlanta on my free time, you can usually find me in Midtown or Buckhead checking out local boutiques or having a nice glass of wine and conversation with friends over lunch or dinner at some of my favorite restaurants in the city.In 3 words, describe your style...
Diverse, Evolving and Daring How are you involved in the fashion industry?
My career in the fashion industry began in Atlanta after being the Woman's Visual Merchandiser at ZARA of Perimeter. There, I gained many opportunities, built my clienteles and worked with many well known people such as Keyshia Knight-Pullium, Tweet, Fantasia, Nivea, Nicole Ari Parker, Lance Gross, Lil Duval and RL (of NEXT). One GREAT person I met during my time there was Stephanie Grant, the CEO of Dinpuru and from there I was hired as her Creative Director.
What is your dream fashion/style job?
Well, as a Creative Director, I am living part of my dream now. I LOVE using my creativity to come up with concepts and ideas that can bring a collection to life or add that extra umph to put it over the edge. Though I have many dreams to reach. I anticipate growing and expanding the dream I am currently living and I would like to design and head visuals of a boutique of a high end designer one day.
In your opinion, what are the staple items that every stylish man and woman needs? You should have one key piece that is essential, classic and never has an expiration date. One key piece that you can build your whole outfit around. For Men, I would say a classic pair of oxfords. They are timeless and useful to dress up or down. For Women, I say a basic nude or black pump. The simple Christain Louboutins have been a must have piece for the past few seasons and the Red soles just give that POP factor.
Any last words?

Living Room
"No fuss" was Morgan's mantra when she decorated: "I wanted it simple, clean-lined, and inviting, with a little bit of glamour and a lot of comfort." An ottoman in Zig Zag by Alan Campbell lends modern oomph between a pair of Louis XV style bergères. To highlight the architectural details, she painted moldings in high-gloss white. A David Hockney lithograph hangs above an antique mercury glass mirror. Garden stools from Emissary.


text: Category: Music & Theatre Dates: Monday, 18 November 2013 to Tuesday, 31 December 2013 The smash-hit musical Wicked, currently playing at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, will undergo a major cast change next month as current leading lady Louise Dearman hangs up her broomstick after being the first person to play both Glinda and Elphaba in the same production. But long-term fans of Wicked have nothing to fear, as award-winning Dutch actress Willemijn Verkaik will be taking over the reins and defying gravity every night. Verkaik already has more than enough experience in this particular musical, having first played Elphaba in the German-language production in 2007. She then opened its Dutch incarnation in her native country, and recently became the first person to sing it in three languages when she transferred to Broadway. "Wicked has become a truly global phenomenon and nobody personifies the show's international appeal more than Willemijn," commented UK executive producer Michael McCabe, who added that he is thrilled London will get to experience her award-winning portrayal of everyone's favourite green girl. Verkaik told the media: "I am overjoyed, and sincerely grateful, that the producers have now invited me to make my West End debut playing this extraordinary role in the musical that has literally changed my life." She will play her first London performance on November 18th, but she will not be the only Wicked alumnus taking to the stage. Sam Kelly will be reprising his much-loved incarnation of the Wizard, a role he previously played between 2009 and 2010 to much acclaim. Kelly has become a well-known face in British television, with roles in sitcoms such as 'Allo 'Allo, Black Books and We'll Think of Something. Witness the story of what happens in Oz before Dorothy dropped in by booking into the 41 Hotel under the special Wicked the Musical offer. The spine-tingling magic and catchy songs including Popular and Defying Gravity will have you standing by the end of the second act, cheering and applauding with the rest of the audience.

Top Five Small-Cap Stocks
Each business day, TheStreet.com Ratings compiles a list of the top five stocks in five categories -- fast-growth, all-around value, large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap -- and publishes these lists in the Ratings section of our Web site.
This list is based on data from the close of the previous trading session. Today, small-cap stocks are in the spotlight. These are stocks of companies that have market capitalizations of between $50 million and $500 million that rank near the top of all stocks rated by our proprietary quantitative model, which looks at more than 60 factors.
The stocks must also be followed by at least one financial analyst who posts estimates on the Institutional Brokers' Estimate System. They are ordered by their potential to appreciate.
Note that no provision is made for off-balance-sheet assets such as unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments, market value of real estate or contingent liabilities that might affect book value. This could be material for some companies with large underfunded pension plans.
Exactech (EXAC - Get Report) develops, makes, markets, distributes and sells orthopedic implant devices, related surgical instrumentation and biologic materials to hospitals and physicians in the U.S. and 27 other countries. The company produces knee systems and other joint replacements. Exactech's revenue is derived primarily from sales of its knee- and hip-replacement systems; however, revenue from the worldwide distribution of biologic materials has increased as a percentage of the company's total revenue. Exactech has been rated a buy since March 2007, primarily because of the company's strong financial performance, higher guidance and a currently favorable industry trend. In the third quarter of 2007, net sales increased 23% year over year to $30 million, largely because of the success of new products and continued growth from existing products. Exactech performed well in both domestic and international markets on the revenue front; the company reported a 24% increase in revenue from the domestic market and a 21% increase in revenue from international markets. Management raised its fiscal 2007 guidance and now expects revenue between $120.5 million and $122.5 million, with earnings in the range of 78 cents to 79 cents a share.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Quoted from JJR This website here says walnuts that are bitter are rancid. Hmmmmm.... This was a fresh pack I bought.http://www.dietobio.com/aliments/en/walnuts.htmlAnd a few others are saying the same thing. I guess mine are bad. I just bought them. I don't know if I've ever tasted a raw walnut that wasn't bitter though. Hmmmmm...
Quoted from JJR That might be the only two good ways to eat them. Because I've never had them taste bad after a soaking and slow roasting. But I just don't want to let them sit on the countertop to soak. Maybe I'll do it in the Fridge. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Or I wonder if I could just give them a quick rinse??????
Quoted from JJR And the same is kind of true of walnut halves. Many of them have that sort of skin that is around the meat of the nut, on the top crinkly part, and sometimes it's black and sometimes it's not. And I'm like "Is that MOULD!!!????".
Quoted from PCUK-Positive I buy organic walnut halves, very expensive . i eat the raw only. and they have never tasted bitter.i haven't soaked them ever yet. just nice the way they are.
Quoted from JJR Can I ask where you get them? Are you a prop taster? I'm thinking mine are probably just not as fresh as I'd want them to be. I don't know. When I buy pecans from that company they taste just fine. Although one time I think some brazil nuts I bought from them were old too. Maybe I just need a better source.

Somewhere between gaming and actual physical games lies the 'Angry Birds' beach ball. With an amazing resemblance to the ever-furious character that inspired it, this is summer gear with serious attitude.
Looking stern as ever, this depiction of the red bird is incredibly accurate, and even pops out where the feathers of this flying beast usually fall. A very up-to-date and hilarious take on summer fun, this is a great way to bring online characters to life. Sure to appeal to the massive amount of 'Angry Birds' fans, this product is destined for success. Though it hasn't been announced whether or not an entire slew of the characters will be turned into inflatables, this is a great start to a funny adaptation.
Though the bird seems to take itself too seriously, this is a goofy and lighthearted toy that will please many fans.

Hi all, I am new to this website and new to NC. I have not seen any fuchsia starts coming into the local nurseries. We are in Goldsboro but sometimes have to go to neighboring larger towns like Wilson (20 mins) or Raleigh (1 hour) to find certain items. Does anyone know where I could find these or are they just not out yet? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am new to this county and it is hard to buy fuchsias here at a good price there's one place called earthworks they have some nice plants but as i said they are not cheap |
- Posted by Southerngirl44 none (My Page) on Sat, Apr 5, 14 at 18:27
I found them at Lowe's but not starts, just the bigger hanging baskets. I miss the $1 and .50 cent starts. I guess I was spoiled! |

And thanks for the reply Dave. I will have to check out that nursery. |

The tiny, scrappy Aussie army is one of the busiest in the world. Everywhere I go I seem to find Australian soldiers with their characteristic cheerfulness. In southern Iraq in 2005, an Australian cavalry unit took me dune-hopping in its eight-wheeled armored vehicles. In East Timor in April, some Australian officers invited me to their camp for a demonstration of native spears, crossbows, and slingshots. But in Afghanistan in June, I was with an Australian platoon that narrowly escaped a suicide bombing that killed a Dutch soldier and ten Afghans. In the aftermath of the bombing, the platoon leader ordered me to stay put while he raced to investigate. The Aussies are great at handling the press—until the shooting starts. Such risk-aversion reflects a military suspicious of the press and inexperienced in media relations.
Dutch Army
Afghanistan: June 2007
Armored, air-conditioned sleeping trailers, dedicated workspaces with Internet access, and a relatively large staff of press officers make the Dutch one of the most comfortable militaries for embedded reporters. But political sensitivities among the decidedly antiwar Dutch public translate into a long list of restrictions for embeds. When fighting broke out in the Dutch- and Australian-occupied Afghan province of Uruzgan last summer, the Ministry of Defense tried to suppress reports from the three embedded reporters, me included. Army press officers fought the restrictions, ultimately forcing the ministry to relent. Still, the same press officers flatly refused to allow embeds anywhere near the fighting.
Italian Army
Lebanon: January 2007
Covering UN peacekeeping operations is like arguing with a superintelligent, cranky five-year-old. In Lebanon, I had to navigate bewildering layers of red tape just to accompany the Italian Army on a brief patrol near the Israeli border. Such bureaucracy is perhaps inevitable when you kludge together a dozen different armies, all with their own rules and political sensitivities, and deposit them in contested territory. The Italians were perfectly polite, but obviously uncomfortable with me and especially with my interpreter, whom they seemed to suspect of being an Islamic terrorist just because he was Lebanese.
Iraqi Army
Northern Iraq: April 2005
I was shocked when the U.S. Army captain commanding the unit I was embedded with agreed to let me hang for a couple of days with a nearby Iraqi battalion. Sure, the battalion was comprised mostly of pro-American Kurds, who have a reputation for honesty and loyalty. Still, the Iraqi military as a whole has zero experience handling the press, and the experience had a decidedly tribal flavor. I never left the battalion commander's side, and the commander's two bodyguards never left his side. At a memorial for 5,000 Kurds killed in Saddam Hussein's brutal chemical attack on Halabja in 1988, the commander's family joined us. Together our motley gang of soldiers, officers, one reporter, and a half dozen civilians rambled around northern Iraq in souped-up Toyota trucks.

Developing a female TV law-enforcement character is always a dicey proposition. If she's too kooky, it turns audiences off (Kate Mulgrew in 1979's short-lived Mrs. Columbo). And if she's got that tough-but-beautiful thing going, she can veer into macha parody (Yancy Butler in both 2001's Witchblade and 1992's Mann & Machine, or most of the women who've cycled through the Law & Order franchise).
The trend recently has been toward a happy medium, tough but screwed-up women with occasional redeeming vulnerability: They're a TNT staple, with Holly Hunter in Saving Grace and Kyra Sedgwick in The Closer. Now joining them is Mary McCormack on USA's new cop series, In Plain Sight. McCormack (The West Wing) plays Mary Shannon, a U.S. marshal in Albuquerque, N.M., who minds star testifiers in the Witness Protection Program. We know McCormack's Mary is hot because she throws her blond hair around, wears plunging-neckline tops, and reduces her smitten boss (The Wire's Paul Ben-Victor) to a goofy schoolboy. We know Mary is tough because she says things like, ''I don't give a rat's ass about your protocol!'' and, confronted with an adorable infant, snaps, ''What's the deal with babies? I don't get 'em.'' There's also a lot of wild harmonica music on the soundtrack every time Mary gets into a car, subliminally signaling impending nonurban craziness.
The plots are often unbelievable. (In an upcoming episode, The Wire's Wendell Pierce plays a wealthy L.A. doctor who has to relocate his family and work as a low-level medical clinic employee just because his daughter is testifying against the punks who shot her boyfriend.) But I like Mary, especially as she's set up in the series premiere, complete with a wacky mom (these days, Lesley Ann Warren corners the market on middle-aged wack) and druggie sister (The Riches' Nichole Hiltz). Director Mark Piznarski knows how to lay a series' groundwork, a talent he's proved by helming the pilots of shows ranging from Everwood to Veronica Mars to Gossip Girl. In Plain Sight could, in fact, be viewed as the anti-Gossip Girl: McCormack's Mary is a loner, not a giggly group-joiner; she favors Western boots made for walkin', not strappy heels made for falling down drunk outside a Manhattan nightclub; she doesn't gossip, she deals in hard-won truths. The more Mary hews to these traits, the better the show is.
I'll be curious to see if viewers, especially the female viewers who'd seem to be the core audience for In Plain Sight, cotton to Mary's poker-faced bravado. Because at its most effective, that hard stare tells you a lot about the questing mind and sure heart of the character behind it. B

G. Loomis Cross Current Beach Fly Rods
At 11' 3", the Cross Current Beach Fly Rods are very light in hand, have the guts to punch a cast into the wind and spray, and put a hurt on some serious fish. To cast a fly far, it takes a combination of high line speed and a heavy weight line. Not so easy hour after hour with a single hand rod. Enter the short two hand fly rod. Combining the leverage and power of two hands casting makes overhead casting heavy lines easier and less tiring.
$575.00 - $580.00
G. Loomis Cross Current Fly Rods
The G. Loomis Cross Current Fly Rods are outstanding fly fishing tools. You might call them &quot;power tools&quot; for the flats. G. Loomis uses &quot;fiber blend technology&quot; to combine the benefits of strength and stiffness of different materials to build a powerful rod for anglers at any level. These sticks are every bit as smooth, powerful and efficient as any fly rod on the market. Blending different materials allows G. Loomis to take advantage of the unique properties of each without overbuilding the blank.
$490.00 - $690.00
G. Loomis Cross Current PRO-1 Fly Rods
If you fish the flats, you're going to want at least one of the Cross Current PRO-1 Fly Rods. For someone who never needs, or for that matter wants, to take the rods apart, these will be a revelation. As you would expect, these rods have an extremely smooth and powerful casting stroke. They also feature the, superlight, nickle-titanium RECOIL stripper and snake guide system. These guides are extremely tough and resilient, providing a noticeable reduction in weight.
$450.00 - $505.00
G. Loomis Cross Current GLX Fly Rods
The Cross Current GLX Fly Rod series is the best series of saltwater fly rods on the market. These rods feature an elegantly designed reel seat that is as distinctive and unique as the fishery and anglers themselves. They also feature the nickle-titanium RECOIL stripper and snake guide system. These guides provide a noticeable reduction in weight. With the ergonomic grip and the exclusive offset-oval sculptured barrel reel seat, these rods are extremely tough but a delight to the eyes as well.
$670.00 - $780.00

cheap nfl jerseys with putting them within
When acquiring and offering houses, the residence invest in is normally subject to a satisfactory residence inspection getting performed. Now and then, a house inspection uncovers severe structural complications. Here's an example of the situation in an upscale neighborhood.Serious Structural nfl jerseys cheap DifficultiesDoes the purchaser stroll absent when you will discover significant structural issues? Sure, although not usually. A great deal is dependent upon the constraints dealing with the purchaser (are they relocating to start a brand new task, or just "moving up" inside the identical common place?) and on how much the purchaser likes the residence. The attitude, maturity level, communication expertise, and suppleness of both purchaser and seller also make a huge distinction.It's simple to see
cheap Baltimore Ravens Jerseys an offer blowing up in this circumstance. Let me let you know a few circumstance I observed that really labored out.Structural Problems -Upscale NeighborhoodThe initial involved two skilled partners and a property one couple desired to promote and the other wanted to get in an established, up-scale neighborhood. The home was a colonial style, all brick, incredibly regular property constructed about 15 years in the past working with leading with the line supplies. The cooking area and bogs experienced been modernized and upgraded inside the past 3 many years. Leading of the line components (marble, ceramic tile, and granite) had been again applied.The property was located on an acre lot that
cheap nfl jerseys sloped carefully down for the road within the front. About 10 feet from the correct facet in the property, the lot sloped steeply absent to a quite stream. The great deal backed into a treed area of the superbly maintained, historic estate owned by an university and open to the public on the fee-paying basis.The house inspector noticed that the chimney on the appropriate finish in the home was pulling away from the residence. It absolutely was about 2 inches away at the top rated, however the bottom was nevertheless attached. Inside the basement, there was some cracking alongside the wall the chimney was on. The home inspector would not certify the property as structurally seem, but recommended that an engineering company take a look at it.The purchaser asked the vendor to possess an engineering research done. The vendor was upset but didn't go to items. Something was leading to the chimney to pull away, in order that they named in an engineer. For legal factors, the sellers also necessary to understand what the issue was.The engineer determined that shrink-swell soil was creating serious foundation problems. They recommended digging down lots further than the unique footers and constructing an elaborate new help program. The sellers agreed to complete it along with the buyers agreed to delay closing until the perform was finished. 30 thousand dollars later on (out in the sellers' pocket), the transaction shut.In ClosingWhen thinking about the above instance, what exactly is the ethical? Should you maintain a cool head and look for options, structural problems have to have not be a bargain killer.

December 9th, 2009 at 4:52 amWow… why does a merhorse need legs anyway?
It's not like it's going to help it swim. Horses only really use them for.. you know running. Possibly a bit of fighting. Gah! Evolution sure did screw up this one!
Adam Roberts Says:
December 9th, 2009 at 4:54 amHow is she staying on that merhorse? Velcro?
I'd have to assume: magical, rainbow velcro.
Simon Says:
December 9th, 2009 at 5:38 amSo THAT's why side saddle was invented.
Simon Says:
December 9th, 2009 at 7:39 amBut all that aside I am helpless before the awesome awfulness of this cover – I'm not sure even Saddam Hussein would have had this artwork in his palace. Not even in the shower room.
I think you may have broken this site. Where can you go after this?
little mi Says:
December 9th, 2009 at 7:50 amI wish I had friend's like that. It would certainly add a special something to dinner parties.
CSA Says:
December 9th, 2009 at 9:21 amIt's beautiful. It makes me want to be a better man.
SI: to be fair you can't see the hoofs of the horse, it might have fins at the end of the legs… which would make sense…
The colour saturation is just a little high on that cover. Andre Norton really does have some unfortunatly garish covers. You think somebody at some point down the line would have said about maybe scaling it back a bit on one of the covers.
SI Says:
December 9th, 2009 at 9:40 amYour right Simon. There is something so special that not even RX is Chaos can rival it.
Maybe I should just end things now.
This book should be the standard for every book. Once a cover is decided on they should hold it next to Moonsingers Friends and ponder, 'How does my cover compare. And why shouldn't I just put Moonsinger on every cover?'

December 9th, 2009 at 4:45 pmJumping merhorse adminsvessal. Where did all those names come from in the tags? Is this a collection of stories?
JustinLeego Says:
December 10th, 2009 at 3:37 pmI do wonder how many of these female authors are actually dudes.
admin's vassal Says:
December 10th, 2009 at 4:20 pmYep, it's an omnibus of short stories. There's even an open letter to Andre Norton contained within, so I am led to believe.

March 29th, 2010 at 9:35 pm…!
You all fail to understand the unmitigated… jaw dropping… brilliance of this singular image. It is, all by itself, a near perfect pilot-pitch for a new unstoppable tween IP!
It just needs two things.
1. Make them pop stars. Give her a microphone. Have the mer-horse playing a keyboard.
2. Make everything blue pink.
With that we can pitch the Mer-Rainbow-Pony Princess's to Disney and all become millionaires! Okay, the name needs some work.
Matt Says:
April 30th, 2010 at 4:39 amI'm so glad Andre Norton has a moonsinger.
Oh, and that moonsinger has friends?
And someone has written a book about them?
vicman Says:
April 30th, 2010 at 7:41 pmDamn, it I said mereunicorn, not merehorse!
vicman Says:
April 30th, 2010 at 7:43 pmOpps, "Merunicorn, not merhorse!"
Brian B Says:
May 10th, 2010 at 3:04 amTo be entirely honest I'm not sure why it isn't a mereunicorn. I mean I really can't imagine a conversation between the publisher and cover artist "Whoa hey now, a mereunicorn? That's just too silly!"
Hal Says:
July 16th, 2010 at 2:52 amI'd put this on my wall. No question.
Amy Says:
December 7th, 2010 at 1:51 amI'm fairly confident my mother had this book when I was young. In fact, my childhood home is a treasure trove for Good Show Sir.
A.R.Yngve Says:
December 19th, 2010 at 1:44 pmNot far from my house lies a small farm with horses, pigs, chicken, sheep and a few peacocks (I'm not making this up!)…
Therefore, when I see that pic of a mer-horse, my mind IMMEDIATELY conjures up a bunch of merpigs, merchicken, mersheep and mercocks next to it.
Jon Says:
May 6th, 2011 at 3:27 pmI think I saw this on the side of a 1977 GMC van once…
If not, it should be.
arch9enius Says:
June 12th, 2011 at 6:57 pmYep, Saddam Hussain's 1977 GMC van. Actually if that horse had hydrofoils on the end of it's front hooves; that would make sense.
B. Chiclitz Says:
March 10th, 2013 at 9:03 pmDoesn't the merhorse have front legs for the same reason that the mermaid has arms? Something to ponder . . . .
Jaouad Says:
March 11th, 2013 at 9:12 pmOh, I know. She has *two* tails. And a very broad bottom. Enigma solved!
B. Chiclitz Says:
March 12th, 2013 at 3:32 amGood Show, Sir!
JuanPaul Says:
March 13th, 2013 at 2:15 amI just don't understand why a mermaid would need to ride a merhorse.

It was two short years ago that I was moving from Texas to "Yankee territory" as a college freshman. Almost 2,000 miles from home, my goodbye was filled with unexpected waterworks from not only my Dad, an emotional man and frequent crier, but also from my thick-skinned mother and 16-year-old brother. While I was sad to leave my family, the first year of my college career would turn out to be an unexpectedly defining time for myself.
Now heading into my junior year, I care to tell you things I wish I had known when I was a little fish in this vast and treacherous sea of college. Keep reading »

Sandy - I know that you were very close to the tornado that came through last night... praying that you are okay and were spared any damage. Please check in today! ~Laura |

Thanks for the concern, Laura and Elisabeth. We did have a tornado go through our neighborhood, within a few hundred feet of our house. The good thing is that the twister was not on the ground, so most of the damage was done to roofs and dormers. One house had windows blown out. Trees were also uprooted and damaged. The worst damage was about two blocks away. The second story of a house was destroyed and sections of roofs were removed from houses. The storm went through about midnight. Sirens woke us up, and the hail was deafening. The funnel was rain wrapped, so it was hard to see on radar or by spotters. The wind sounded funny to me, but there was nothing on TV, so I went back to bed. I didn't realize there was damage until this morning when I heard helicopters in the area. Having been through other tornadoes, I knew that there had to be storm damage in the area. It's always a relief to realize that we went through another twister, and no one was hurt. |

Thanks for the update Sandy. My daughter lives just two miles west of you and she had us up and on the phone with her. I'm glad you were spared and am praying for those who were affected. Thankful it appears no one was injured. ~Laura |

Whew! 'So glad you're alright, Sandy! I hope your property didn't have any damage. Sherry |
- Posted by butterflymomok 7a (My Page) on Fri, Apr 19, 13 at 9:44
We had no damage--a few hundred feet away, a different story. But the good news is no injuries! Spavinaw, a small town to the NE sustained quite a bit of damage. No injuries! There were four tornadoes between us and the NE corner of OK, and no injuries! Wish this was always true. I am feeling grateful and thankful. Sandy |

Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge | |
IUCN category IV (habitat/species management area)
Location in Washington state | |
Location | Thurston / Pierce counties, Washington, USA |
Nearest city | Lacey, WA |
Coordinates | 47°04′22″N 122°42′46″W / 47.07278°N 122.71278°WCoordinates: 47°04′22″N 122°42′46″W / 47.07278°N 122.71278°W |
Area | 3,914 acres (1,584 ha) |
Established | 1974 |
Visitors | 137,000 (in 2004) |
Governing body | United States Fish and Wildlife Service |
The Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is a wildlife preserve operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service on the Nisqually River Delta near Puget Sound in northeastern Thurston County, Washington and northwestern Pierce County, Washington. The refuge is located just off Interstate 5, between the cities of Tacoma and Olympia.
The 12.6 km2 refuge was created in 1974 to provide habitat and nesting areas for waterfowl and other migratory birds. It includes a protected estuary, salt marshes and open mudflats, freshwater marshes, open grassland, and riparian woodland and brush. An additional 3.2 square kilometres (1.2 sq mi) planned is protected by the disjoint Black River Unit on a tributary of the Chehalis River.
The wildlife refuge is home to the Nisqually River Delta, which has the unique status as Washington's largest relatively undisturbed estuary. The confluence of the freshwater Nisqually River and the saltwater south Puget Sound has created a variety of unique environments, each rich in nutrients and natural resources for the local wildlife. The delta provides habitats for more than 300 different species of fish and wildlife.[1]
In 1904 the Brown Farm Dike, five miles long, was created to protect farmland from tidal surge, resulting in a loss of important habitat for young fish, birds and marine mammals such as harbor seals. As part of a long running project to restore the estuary, in 2009 a new 10,000 foot dike was installed behind the old dike and four miles of the old Brown Farm Dike were removed. This enabled the tidal flows to reclaim 762 acres to the estuary.
Sea life features 24 species of fish located in one of three habitats: riverine, estuarine or the Nisqually Reach nearshore. Large populations of fall Chinook salmon, starry flounder and shiner perch offer a sampling of the fish that are abundantly available. Water mammals range in size from small porpoises to whales.[2]
The saltmarshes and mudflats are located outside of the dikes. Rich in nutrients, they are the home to clams, crabs, shrimp and worms, which in turn feed ducks, gulls and herons.
Over 20,000 birds, made up of 275 different migrating species, use the freshwater marshes and grasslands for breeding, resting or wintering. The most abundant bird types include raptors, shorebirds and songbirds. Larger animals such as hawks and coyotes feast in the grassland due to the presence of mice and voles.
The riparian woodland and brush habitats contain many amphibians, mammals and reptiles.

Live Healthy Fairfax
NEW! Tips for Healthy Food Donations Throughout the Year
The Live Healthy Fairfax initiative aims to transform our community into a place where everyone may lead healthier, more productive lives. The Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax is a diverse coalition working together to attain these goals. Whether you are a resident, business owner, faith leader, school official, nonprofit manager, health care provider, or government employee, you can make a difference in the health of our community. Join us!
Why Is This Effort Important?
Too many children and adults in the Fairfax community face preventable health risk factors such as inadequate physical activity; poor nutrition; heart disease; obesity; and tobacco, alcohol or drug use. Consider the following statistics:
- Chronic diseases account for 7 of the 10 leading causes of death and are responsible for 75 percent of health care costs in the United States.
- In Fairfax County, 58 percent of adults are overweight.
- One in five adults in Virginia smokes.
- Ten percent of our residents lack health insurance.
- More than 18 percent of children 19–25 months old in our community are not up-to-date on recommended vaccinations.
A healthy community means more than good medical care; it involves giving everyone the opportunity to make healthy choices—this is called "health equity." In addition to identifying strategies for preventing chronic diseases, the Live Healthy Fairfax effort is promoting policy, systems and environmental changes that will help the Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax achieve its vision: Fairfax—an engaged and empowered community working together to achieve optimal health and well-being for all who live, work and play here.
The History of Live Healthy Fairfax
Since 2008, the Partnership has been conducting a community-wide strategic planning process known as Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP). MAPP is the framework that helped the Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax assess our community's health needs, and identify the key issues that we will address through collaborative action.
To strengthen the initial efforts of the Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax, Fairfax County was awarded a Community Transformation Grant by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The collective efforts of the Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax members inform the Live Healthy Fairfax initiative.

I've come across lots of pests in my garden and I've been killing everything I see. I've been killing this weird looking bug, but now I think it may be lady bug larvae. Can someone tell me if this is a ladybug or some sort of other pest? I THINK the other dots in the pic are aphids.
I've hose them down and sprayed them with a mixture of soap, garlic, onion, pepper and crysanthemum. I'm not seeing much difference yet. The leaves are curling up and looking pretty bad right now. Some of them have this weird pattern on them. Is there anything else I can do? Also, is there a spray that can kill grasshoppers? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
And also, since I've been spraying the leaves with the soap stuff, wouldn't that kill the ladybug larvae too? What am I to do... |
The leaf that resembles a curled up wad likely has lots & lots of aphids on the back. Remove it. The leaves with the squiggly patterns have leafminers The larvae (black & orange ) is a ladybug youngster. The small dots are aphids. |
The orange and black thingy there is the larva of the Lady Beetle. Whether Insecticidal Soaps will harm them is debateable with some reports indicating yes and others indicating no. That larva can help control the Aphids, but you can do little about the leaf miners once the eggs hatch and they burrow into the leaves short of squishing them. The real question is why so many insect pests? Aphids are known to be attracted to plants growing in soils with an over abundance of Nitrogen, plants with lush green growth and there is much evidence to indicate other insects are also. What does a soil test say about nutrient balance? |

I decided to try a mounted Orchid a couple of weeks ago. My Denb had bloomed this pas late Winter. I attached it to a bark and all seemed well. I left the roots exposed cause of the heat of the day and the humid conditions we have been getting. I have it outside my porch in a bright light with morning son for about a half hour. The roots being exposed, I assumed that i had to spray them not only daily, but 3 times or so...plus douse it with water and fertilized weekly. At the beginning i had 1 leave yellowing , but today i saw 2 more for a total of 3. I suspect that i am over watering it with spraying. I did cover the roots with transparent plastic wrap, perhaps the roots cannot be exposed? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You probably have a hard-cane Dendrobium, i am assuming this because you said it flowered in winter. Might not be a problem if the leaves are falling from the oldest cane/psuedobulb. You might have to spray several times a day if you are trying to grow a cloud forest orchid, as for covering the roots with a transparent wrap, that might create a mini hot-house around the roots and cause damage. Forget about all this tropical stuff, and read some hard cane culture notes on the net to get a feeling for the type of culture required. Those pseudobulbs/canes are there to get the plants through hard times. Does the plant have a name? |
Those pseudobulbs/canes are there to get the plants through hard times. Does the plant have a name?>>> Yes, it is a hard cane and almost 2' tall. I lost the tag that came with it 5 years ago, so no name that i can recall. Two leaves that are yellowing are at the near top of the cane, and one is on the "pseudobulb/cane" |
- Posted by orchidnick z9Ca (email@example.com) on Sun, Jul 3, 11 at 9:44
I have not successfully mounted hard cane Dendrobiums. Some died, others lingered without robust growth. Nick |
Hard cane Dendrobiums do best in any medium when the roots dry between watering. Daily watering (not just a little mist) is fine. The wrap is not a good idea, and may be the cause of the leaf loss, or it could be shock from the re-pot. I have mounted Den species, but I keep the hard-cane hybrids in rock. This are like Great Dane puppies, cute in the store but they will get larger and larger with each new growth. |

Top 10 Skin Care Industry Trends From Face & Body Midwest 2013
By: Kristen Wegrzyn
Posted: March 22, 2013
Photo Galleries
Face & Body Midwest was held March 9–11, 2013, at McCormick Place West in Chicago. The event continues to get bigger and better each year, with attendee registration enjoying an approximately 6% increase from 2012. Co-located with America's Beauty Show (ABS), which had more than 60,000 salon professionals registered, providing an additional 6,700 Face & Body attendees due to cross-over privileges, making the total number of Face & Body attendees approximately 10,100! Joy McKraus, esthetician for Bella Via Skin and Body Therapies, Toledo, Ohio, says, "I had a great experience at the Face & Body show. I came away with lots of knowledge and a lot of excitement to put it to good use in my skin care practice!"
The exhibit hall held more than 150 booths—a 13% increase from last year. Exhibitors represented body, facial and cosmetic products; accessories; equipment; business tools; nutrition and wellness; and various other categories during the expo. Terry Herman, publisher, editor and freelance writer from Chicago, says: "Once on the floor of the expo, the crowds of attendees were energized and excited. [I'm] glad to see the expo gets larger and larger each year."
Skin Inc. magazine sponsored the Advanced Education Conference Program, which was set in motion with the Networking Continental Breakfast. Jill Reinke, managing esthetician at Dermatology & Skin Care Associates in Mason, Ohio, says, "This was my first time at the breakfast—I really felt like this kick-started the weekend and was something I enjoyed and will not miss in the future." Immediately following the breakfast was "Celebrating the Past and the Future of Professional Skin Care," a panel of industry legends, including Rebecca James Gadberry, Christine Heathman, Mark Lees and Peter T. Pugliese, MD, and moderated by Cathy Christensen, editor of Skin Inc. magazine. "The legends panel was a great way to kick off the show," comments Herman.
After the opening session, the conference program was broken into four tracks featuring Business Solutions, Career Development, Skin Science and Treatment Techniques. "The speakers were fabulous and very inspiring," says Kelly Morlen of For the Love of Skin in Granite City, Illinois. The Advanced Education Conference Program attendees were provided with a flash drive complete with almost all of the session presentations. "I had to step out early during a couple of the seminars, so I am super thankful for the flash drive," explains Morlen. "Sickness aside, I thought the event was put together very well and really helped pump some life back into my love of the industry. I can't wait for next year!"
The Advanced Education Conference Program shaped the following list of the top 10 trends that were hot topics throughout the weekend. (Also, be sure to check out the Face & Body Midwest 2013 Photo Gallery to catch a glimpse into the event.)
