Hello, I would be interested in a flat rate postage box, etc. Please let me know. Thanks, p.s... I've traded and given many plants for postage here so sorry that I don't have anything to offer right now. |

Bonnie drop me a note direct so I have you e-mail address and such and your address so I can see what shipping to you would be. It might be cheaper to ship in a non flat box if you want to email your zip code at the least. Also, I require delivery confirmation which is an additional 65 cents. Jean |
Jean, Received the box today. Thanks much! |

If not, which would be best to plant? I'm in Denver. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Plenty of time for direct sown stuff such as parsley, cilantro, thyme, corn, okra, cucumbers, beets, carrots, winter and summer squash. Too late for peppers and tomatoes unless purchasing plants to transplant. Also probably to late for peas, lettuce, spinach or other cool weather plants though they can be sown late July to mid August. |

For herbs, you're fine on nearly all of them. Just know there's the fast growing annuals that are good to direct sow (basil, parsley, cilantro, etc). Plenty of time for those, in fact it's just now getting warm enough for the basils. Cilantro is a semi cool season plant--you'll get lots of leaves to start with, but it will bolt to seed pretty quickly here too as soon as it really heats up. Then, just collect the coriander seeds! Then there's your perennials: rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, lavender, etc. You can seed these in, but you won't get much of a harvest this first year on the slow growing perennials. Better off to buy transplants of them if you're not planning long-term. Most of the other herbs you're good on too, especially if you start with transplants: savory, sorrel, burnet, chives, etc. Another note: if seeding, some herbs can have a long germination period (30+ days) for things like parsley, oregano, lavender. Rosemary, marjoram, lemon verbena and other tender perennials will not survive winter here in most cases. |

Ford Motor Company is an American multinational automaker headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. It was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16, 1903. The company sells automobiles and commercial vehicles under the Ford brand and luxury cars under the Lincoln brand. In the past it has also produced heavy trucks, tractors and automotive components. Ford owns small stakes in Mazda of Japan and Aston Martin of the United Kingdom. It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is controlled by the Ford family, although they have minority ownership.

Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines; by 1914 these methods were known around the world as Fordism. Ford's former UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover, acquired in 1989 and 2000 respectively, were sold to Tata Motors in March 2008. Ford owned the Swedish automaker Volvo from 1999 to 2010. In 2011, Ford discontinued the Mercury brand, under which it had marketed entry-level luxury cars in the United States since 1938.

Ford is the second-largest U.S.-based automaker and the fifth-largest in the world based on 2010 vehicle sales. At the end of 2010, Ford was the fifth largest automaker in Europe. Ford is the eighth-ranked overall American-based company in the 2010 Fortune 500 list, based on global revenues in 2009 of $118.3 billion. In 2008, Ford produced 5.532 million automobiles and employed about 213,000 employees at around 90 plants and facilities worldwide.

Ford has produced trucks since 1908. Countries where Ford commercial vehicles are or were made include Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada (badged Mercury too), France, Germany, India, Netherlands, Philippines, Spain (badged Ebro too), Turkey, UK (badged also Fordson and Thames) and USA.
From the 1940s to late 1970s Ford's Ford F-Series were used as the base for light trucks for the North American market.
Most of these ventures are now extinct. The European one that lasted longest was the lorries arm of Ford of Britain, which was eventually sold to Iveco group in 1986, and whose last significant models were the Transcontinental and the Cargo.
In the United States, Ford's heavy trucks division (Classes 7 and 8) was sold in 1997 to Freightliner Trucks, which rebranded the lineup as Sterling. Freightliner is in the process of discontinuing this line.
Line of heavy trucks made by Ford for the North American market:
Ford F-650 – joint venture model from 2000 to present
Ford L9000 – last model year 1999
Ford LNT9000 – short nose tandem axle from 1970s to 1997
Ford LT9000 – tandem axle with last model year 1997
Ford FT900 – until 1998
Ford LT8000 – last model year 1998
Ford L7000 – last model year 1996
Ford continues to manufacture medium duty trucks under the F-650 and F-750 badges. In 2001, the company entered into a joint venture with Navistar International to produce medium duty commercial trucks. The first new model from the new corporation, known as Blue Diamond Truck Company LLC, was the 2006 model year LCF, the first Ford branded cab-over-engine design in the United States since Freightliner's acquisition of the Cargo in the mid-1990s. The LCF was discontinued in 2009 and Ford's 2011 medium-duty commercial offerings are limited to the two F-Series.
In 1999 the end of the F800 meant Ford was not producing in any F-series heavy truck chassis.
In Europe, Ford manufactures the Ford Transit jumbo van which is classed as a Large Goods Vehicle and has a payload of up to 2,265 kg, there are options of a panel van, pickup or chassis cab. The Ford Transit is also available as a light van called the Ford Transit Connect and the Ford Ranger pickup is available

Hello everybody,
So I am interested in planting some trees this spring or maybe this fall. And was hoping to see some before planting.

Heritage Trees of Portland Your pine tree is on this list. Unfortunately, the Hoyt Arboretum website touts a plant inventory list, but it is currently unavailable. There may be printed material at the arboretum visitor center. Any Eucalyptus trees may be a 20-year gamble in Portland with single-digit temperatures. |
Thanks for your replies. Mike, the new buds on the Parrotica, when do they come out and how noticible are they? How old is your tree? Larry, Thanks for the link to Heritage trees... I will go look at the pine tree. I have already planted two ecualyptus, one in fall 09 and another in fall 10. I sure hope that they will be ok. They have mulch and I will keep my fingers crossed. Thank You both. Mike |
Some years ago the Hoyt Arboretum had comprehensive labeling but it was based on grid locations rather than identifications of each specimen confirmed by their appearance etc., hence some labels were way off. Hunting for particular accessions of interest could and often did result in finding the label hanging on a completely different type of tree. A good place to look for less usual kinds, such as gum trees is Cistus nursery on Sauvie Island. Not a big display garden or sales yard but there are some plantings and a fair selection of some very special items. They also do mail order shipping from their substantial collection in the greenhouses behind the scenes. See their web site. Another Oregon nursery with likely the largest offering in western North America is forestfarm in Williams, down near the California border. See their web site, they are not really set up for visitors at all - but most of their stock is photographed and shown on the site. If you know the plant you are looking for well enough you can often actually confirm it is the same exact item you seek using these pictures of at least one example of the specimens in the nursery. |
- Posted by larry_gene z8/Sunset6 OR (My Page) on Mon, Jan 10, 11 at 23:06
...since you are planting Eucalypts, you may as well look into Eucryphias. The Oregon Garden near Silverton has had some years to mature; perhaps they have one or more of your interests. |

Mike, you didn't show the bark on the Parrotia! The bark is also a very attractive feature. There are Parrotias at the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden. |
Thanks for the replies, "....There are Parrotias at the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden." Your talking about the one in Federal Way? Larry, I went to check out the Tanyoshu Pine yesterday. Thank You for letting me know where to find one. NE 39th and Couch in PDX. A little too big perhaps, but very, very impressive. I will have to see what my wife thinks... Thank You All, Mike |

Yes, the one in Federal Way. There are a couple of good sized ones on the south side of the gazebo. |
If you were to come to up here to pursue this interest then your best resource would be Trees of Seattle. A separate Seattle tree map has also been produced by a friend of the book author. An inferior Portland tree guide book was also put out by Timber Press some years ago. I did not mention it earlier because it is so weak. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Trees of Seattle - Second Edition
Thanks for the info bboy. I thought I had responded already. First I am going to look closer to home, but I do think that would be great to do a little road trip and check out gardens near Seattle. I am planning on visiting the elizabeth miller botanical gardens in the spring, Wife willing. Mike |
The main woody collections here are the Washington Park Arboretum and the Carl English Botanical Garden. |
Down there the Elk Rock Garden (near Portland, right above the river) and the OSU Experiment Station near Aurora have interesting tree and shrub plantings. The Oregon Garden is weird, except for the conifer collection. And being like the typical over-planted enthusiast's conifer zoo, that is weird as well - but in a different, more amusing way. |
bboy, Went to the Washington Park Arboretum, as was in the area. Was able to find eucalyptus only. Ironwood there but was not able to find.... Really is a lovely place.... Thanks, Mike |
The trees and shrubs belonging to the collections there are located using a grid map. You can get the coordinates at the visitor center during open hours. Jacobson's book (mentioned above) also gives the coordinates of trees in the park - when they are kinds treated in the work* - and contains a version of the grid map. *Species and cultivars known in Seattle only from the Arboretum are not included |

Is it possible to have nice looking roses in a butterfly garden? My other plants look great,my roses however look like crap! Holes in the petals,mildew,rust,BS and spider mites! Do I give up on the roses or move them to another spot in my yard? I cannot have my roses look like crap for another day! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Suggestions please! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I assume you don't spray anything in a butterfly garden, so what you need are the most disease-resistant roses you can find--which pretty much comes down to one of the Knock Outs. Another highly resistant rose is Morning Has Broken, but it is a semi-double about 4x4--perhaps larger than you are looking for. I hope you aren't trying to grow hybrid teas there--they are usually the least resistant of all the possible types of roses you could grow. For me, mildew has only been a problem when I grew some roses in partial shade, but I'm guessing a butterfly garden is in full sun. The only other advice I can think of is to make sure you water in the morning--never in late afternoon or evening. That might cut down on the number of rose diseases. Oh, make sure the roses are not crowded in among other flowers. Roses need space so that there is plenty of air circulation--cuts down on diseases in many cases. Don't know if any of that will solve your problem, but at least these are some things you might try. By the way, if you post on the "Discussion" side of the Rose Forum, you might get more responses. This "conversation" side is more for rosers chatting about non-rose matters. Good luck, |
Have you tried plastic roses? They are resistant to anything and no watering, fertilizing or spraying. Hahahaha C'est domage, mais c'est la vie. Ton ami, T |
For a no-spray butterfly garden you'll need to choose the most disease resistant roses available on the market. This pretty much eliminates all Hybrid Teas, English Roses, Floribundas and Grandifloras. For zone 5 I suggest the Buck roses, Hybrid Kordesii, and Hybrid Rugosa. Many of the Bucks will give you the hybrid tea "look" but on hardier plants. The latter two classes have primarily single to semi-double blossoms, which IMHO is very appropriate for a butterfly garden.

Thanks for all the great suggestions molineux,as well as the other ones! Julie |
I hear ya. Roses are such high-maintenance divas, and how do they reward all your caring and fretting? By looking like the Wreck of the Hesperus. Cleanest roses are: 1. Hippolyte -- a once-blooming Gallica/China hybrid. Blooms for weeks. Forms a nicely shaped shrub that gets about 6.5 feet tall here. Blooms start out reddish purple, age to a deep purple, and finish up as a dusky purple with silvery overtones. Very winter hardy. 2. Fields of the Wood -- a found rose that blooms a lovely deep red, cupshaped blooms, with decent fragrance, and gets absolutely no black spot here. Repeats. Even the bugs don't bother it much. 3. Banshee -- a highly fragrant, old, once-blooming, light pink rose of unknown heritage. This rose laughs at disease and winter. But a rainy period can cause buds to not open. Suckers like mad, incredibly easy to grow, needs very little care. I fertilize it once a year and it probably doesn't need it. 4. Some of the Buck roses are great. 5. Some of the Kordes roses are wonderful; others absolutely suck in zone 5. 6. Blushing Lucy. 7. Donau -- a once bloomer with small violet colored blooms. Smells like violets. I can't smell it up close, but a few feet away and downwind, it has a lovely mild violet fragrance. Another nice thing about it is that the foliage stays healthy and is a very light green, almost a yellowish-green, which is pretty bright for a rose. It's supposed to repeat, but it has not done so for me in the 3 years it's been here. Maybe it needs a longer growing season to rebloom, or maybe it will rebloom when it gets older. There's not much you can do about bugs eating your roses; not without some spraying anyway. Of course, roses aren't the only plants that get attacked by insects. But they are the plants that are most obvious about it. :-) It could be worse -- over on the Antique Roses forum some poor guy is dealing with blister beetles eating his clematis alive. Blister beetles are nasty, demonic insects that are toxic to humans in large quantities and are known to kill horses and livestock when a number of the beetles are consumed. They cause blisters to form on your skin when you handle them. So, it could be worse. But roses can be a bummer this time of year, when they're at their absolute worst. |
I've got a similar less pretty version of the dilemma. I have Green Lynx Spiders, which as spiders go are pretty cool little guys. I'm finally making peace with jumping spiders and have boticed that so long as they don't get too close to me, they are sort of like little gremlins. I haven't been spraying because I'd like to build a population of the Green Lynx spiders. They've done a GREAT!!! Wowza; even job on the aphid problems, and the rearing up thing is pretty cool too. |

The LIV nightclub at Miami is no stranger to stars on its premises but the supernovae from the world of hip hop that turned out last night really did turn on the heat at LIV; the glitterati had descended to celebrate heavyweight DJ Khaled's birthday.
The guest list included Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Diddy, Mack Maine, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Ace Hood, French Montana, Kirko Bangz, N.O.R.E., Timbaland and many others. Kanye and Lil even took to the stage to perform for their buddy. That was probably the nicest gift of all that the guys could give; any way, they sure had a blast signing off their Thanksgiving weekend in style.

Do-It-Yourself Bike Tune-Up: A 5-Step Checklist
- By Aaron Hersh
- Published Nov 28, 2012
- Updated Feb 19, 2013 at 11:30 AM UTC
Adjust the rear derailleur cable tension.
Put the chain into the smallest (hardest) cog and upshift once. Look down from above the cassette to see if the upper derailleur pulley lines up with the second cog. If it is closer to the wheel, turn the barrel adjuster—the black plastic piece the housing inserts into—clockwise. If the pulley is further from the wheel, turn the barrel adjuster counter-clockwise.

Chicago—August 28, 2008—With the school year starting, many teens will find themselves behind the wheel of a car for the first time. When shopping for a first-time driver, it's important to find a vehicle that is safe, reliable, efficient and -- for most parents and their teens -- affordable. To help parents find cars that meet these qualifications, the experts at Cars.com have selected the top new cars for teen drivers.
"We realize that parents play an important role in the car-buying process," said Cars.com senior editor Joe Wiesenfelder. "But we also realize that a teen's priority typically is looking cool, while their parents are probably concerned with safety and practicality. That's why we considered body styles as well as safety features while making our decisions."
To compile Cars.com's list of the best cars for teens, experts compared overall value and safety features, as well as gas mileage, exterior styling and interior comfort. When choosing body styles, Cars.com considered coupes, sedans, convertibles, hatchbacks, SUVs and regular-cab pickup trucks that cost less than $20,000.
Below are Cars.com's top new-car picks for teens:
Best New Car for First-Time Drivers:
2008 Honda Civic
Starting MSRP: $14,810
Maximum mpg: 26/34
Whether you're a concerned parent or a sensible young person looking for a first car, the Civic can't be beat. It's safe, reliable, gets good mileage, retains its value and has a lot of standard features. The Civic is one of the best cars on the market for any driver; first-timers certainly won't go wrong with it.
Best Deal for First-Time Drivers:
2008 Honda Fit
Starting MSRP: $13,950
Maximum mpg: 28/34
The financiers -- er, parents -- will appreciate the Fit's sub-$14K price tag, which includes power windows, A/C and a CD stereo. Crash-test ratings are stellar, and standard safety gear includes six airbags and antilock brakes. The pint-sized four-cylinder is enough for puttering around campus, and it delivers highway gas mileage in the mid-30s. The modest power should keep young drivers out of too much high-speed trouble, too.
Other Worthy Contenders:
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
Starting MSRP: $13,990
Maximum mpg: 22/29
When Mitsubishi redesigned its Lancer this year, it really upped the ante for stylish compact sedans -- and it's not even that compact. That substantial feeling of size translates to the driving experience, reassuring first-time drivers. There are also lots of standard safety features, a sub-$14,000 starting price and a sporty look that makes the Lancer feel more expensive than it is.
2008 Suzuki SX4
Starting MSRP: $14,770
Maximum mpg: 22/30
The SX4 Sport sedan should appeal to first-time drivers looking for an affordable car with handling that makes winding roads a treat to drive. Its tall roof means good headroom inside, and the SX4 Sport's standard safety features list includes side curtain airbags. For buyers who prefer the versatility of an all-wheel-drive hatchback, Suzuki also sells the affordable SX4 Crossover.
2008 Toyota Tacoma
Starting MSRP: $14,280
Maximum mpg: 20/25
OK, so you want a pickup. The Tacoma is a solid choice, with good reliability scores and a burly optional V-6. Antilock brakes are standard, and the sturdy composite bed should survive plenty of tailgating parties. The interior is short on standard features but high on quality, and did we mention it starts under $14,500?
2008 Scion xB
Starting MSRP: $15,650
Maximum mpg: 22/28
Were it not for the lack of crash-test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the xB might have won the category. It has it all: funky styling, a high-quality cabin, an attractive price tag and lots of safety features. Never mind that Scion attracts its share of geriatric drivers; the xB understands the MyFace Generation better than most car companies ever will.
2008 Nissan Sentra
Starting MSRP: $16,140
Maximum mpg: 25/33
The Sentra is a smartly packaged sedan with innovative design features, like a glove compartment big enough for a classroom binder and rear headrests that flip forward to improve visibility. Six airbags are standard, and antilock brakes come on most trim levels. Stick with the base engine, as the faster Sentra SE-R isn't particularly well-executed and 200 horsepower is a lot for inexperienced drivers.
2008 Hyundai Sonata
Starting MSRP: $17,670
Maximum mpg: 21/31
A long list of standard features -- like air conditioning, cruise control, antilock brakes, side curtain airbags and an electronic stability system -- and a low starting price make Hyundai's Sonata a sensible choice. Both engine choices (four-cylinder or V-6) offer good fuel economy, and the Sonata has a five-year/60,000-mile warranty with five years of roadside assistance.
2008 Mini Cooper
Starting MSRP: $18,050
Maximum mpg: 28/37
The Cooper will easily stand out from the sea of Civics and Mustangs in the high-school parking lot: It's a Mini, stupid. Pick the base model over the 172-hp Cooper S hatchback, which is pricier and may have too much power (remember, this is a lightweight car) for a first-time driver. Though it's at an inherent disadvantage in a collision with larger cars, the Cooper comes standard with six airbags and antilock brakes. Parents should appreciate the excellent IIHS frontal crash-test ratings, too. Those in sunnier parts of the country might also consider the Cooper convertible.
2008 Ford Escape
Starting MSRP: $19,140
Maximum mpg: 22/28
Updated for 2008 with new styling, the five-seat Ford Escape is an affordable small SUV. It features a number of important safety features -- antilock brakes, side curtain airbags and Ford's AdvanceTrac stability system with Roll Stability Control -- that come standard. The Escape can have either a fuel-efficient four-cylinder or a 200-hp V-6. A hybrid version comes at a higher price.

AB 1841 went into effect on January 1, 2010, and deals with parental consent in regarding public school special education. Existing law requires a local educational agency (LEA) to make "reasonable efforts to obtain" parental consent to offer special education to a child; a parent is not required to consent and if he or she consents, the consent is revokable aat any time.
The [revised regulations] keep those provisions and adds: a public agency is not required to amend educational records to show that a child received special ed/services if a revocation is written after the services were provided. It also requires an LEA to file a request for due sprocess if the parent or guardian of a special needs child refuses all services after having consented in the past.
The [revised regulations delete] the requirement of seeking due process and prohibits an LEA from providing special ed/services to a child once a written revocation of consent has been received.
Further:The law [provides] that a public agency is not required to convene an individualized education program team meeting or develop an individualized education program for the child for further provision of special education and related services.

I've always wanted to try the famed BeautyBlender sponge but I just couldn't justify spending $18.00 on a little sponge. Especially since I had never tried the sponge method before. When shopping at Target, I found the SK Blending Sponge and picked it up. I feel like $10 is a bit expensive for this sponge but I still coughed up the money. (I've just recently bought a $5 one from Ulta that works exactly the same.) After a few days of the sponge method, I was in love! It makes the foundation look so natural.
There are a few things that I don't like about this sponge though. First of all, it's hard. When I see people on YT using the BB, it seems so bouncy and soft. This one isn't. It doesn't expand when you get it damp like the BB. I've found that it can be painful around the eye area if you're not careful. It soaks up some product but I can't compare it to the BB, since I don't have one. Another thing I don't like is that this sponge stains easily. I wash this regularly and will just not come clean! I've had this sponge for six months I'd estimate (I really have zero idea though!) and it's only just beginning to lose pieces. I think that's because I accidentally get it caught on my piercings though, haha.
This is a nice sponge, a little pricey though. If you have access to Ulta, I'd say head there and grab their sponge instead. It's half the price and does the exact same thing!

After using this sponge, I do not think I can ever go back to applying foundation with a regular brush. Using the blending sponge has completely changed the way I apply my make up. It flawlessly applies my foundation and makes nearly every foundation formula that I have tried look completely natural. I use the larger, rounded end to pat on my foundation and then I use the pointed end to apply my under eye concealer. It works amazingly well for both! I have been using my sponge every single day since mid-March and it does not look worn at all. It is also only slightly stained due to the fact that I do not wash it every single time that I use it. However, I have found that using a regular face cleanser or baby shampoo removes traces of make up off of the sponge quite well. I will without a doubt be repurchasing this sponge again the future. I have been using my sponge now for nearly four months and I do not think I will need to repurchase one again for another 3-4 months.

I bought this recently hoping to find a quicker way to put my foundation on in the morning. I like using my Clinique foundation brush but it takes a little longer to buff out any streaks. I've tried it with liquid foundation, loose powder, and pressed powder. While it does create a nice, buffed, natural look with the foundation, it isn't any better than what I can achieve with a brush. The reason why I will not be repurchasing and probably never using it again is because it makes my face feel disgusting and heavy!!! Maybe it's because I have oily skin and the water makes the products heavier than I need them to be, but it makes my face feel dirty and sweaty. I haven't found anyone who's had this problem so maybe I'm an anomaly. I'll stick with my foundation brush.
OH! I forgot to add. As far as cleaning it I had no issue- it cleaned easily. I used the Sonia Kashuk brush and sponge cleanser. I sprayed it thoroughly and squeezed it under running water. The foundation poured right out. It took a little bit of time to get all of the cleanser out, however, but I think I might have used too much.
I bought this sponge to see if I'd like the foundation application better than the results I'd been getting with brushes. I also wanted to test the waters and see if this was a good substitute for the Beauty Blender. I like the Sonia Kashuk sponge--I used it dampened with water, with the excess squeezed out. I applied my foundation by bouncing the sponge on my face (similar to the BB technique). My application was seamless. The sponge started to show wear after a few months of daily use. I chose not to repurchase it and switched to the Beauty Blender, which I love. But for the price of the Sonia Kashuk sponge, you get great results and I recommend it if you're on a tighter budget.

After much consideration I finally decided to buy this sponge. Very glad I did as it is just the right texture to pick up the correct amount of my Lucy Mineral powder, and applies smoothly without the powder flying everywhere (which can and does happen with most brush applications). It is a very versatile shape and the texture is subtly flocked. The pointed end is very handy to use on the sides of the nostrils and for blemishes. At $10 it is pricey but should last a long time with just using it for powder applications. I cannot compare it with the popular Beauty Blender as I have never tried that one.
EDIT: Unfortunately, this is tearing up rather quickly, especially as I have not used it that much.

I have both the original blue sponge that is pictured, and the newer one, which is purple. I'd heard of beauty blender when i saw this the first time (years ago,) and was excited to try this out...I mean, it's a sponge, right? Can't be that difficult to clone.
Well, when it comes to the BB, the SK version is an awful substitute. After the first blue one I had started falling apart, I purchased the purple one assuming it was a better version. Nope. It cracked too, and neither one of them is even close to being as soft as the BB. SK doesn't expand properly when wet, and it absorbs MORE product--not less--than the BB. This was obvious upon washing the SK, in addition to having to use a lot more product than with the BB, which I finally purchased after trying Ulta's shoddy attempt to dupe the OG beauty blender.
In sum, i spent--2 SK sponges @ $9.99+1 Ulta sponge@$5=resulting in $25 wasted in the name of saving money...whereas the BB cost $25 total for 2 sponges from drugstore.com.
In sum, don't try and save yourself money on the dupes...they aren't worth it. I wasted more money than i saved, promise you.

I was debating between this & the BB, since I have never owned either one I decided to start with the cheaper version first. I have the blue one as pictured. I played with it last night & did my makeup with it this morning & I really like the way this works with my double wear from Estee Lauder. I did not notice the smell others have mentioned & I have a pretty sensitive nose? You have to be really careful with your finger nails so that you're not digging them into it. Haven't tried cleaning it yet. But if you put a wet sponge in the microwave for about a minute it supposedly kills all bacteria on the sponge without having to scrub the thing. It's latex free which is good for me since I'm allergic. So far I'm impressed! I will update when I've used it longer as to how it holds up, but it gave a beautiful finish to my makeup this morning. :)
EDIT* I still like this sponge, but it got me even more curious about the BB sponge, so today I broke down & ordered a 2pk of the BB sponges for 24.99!! I will update again once I can compare the two :)
UPDATE* I got my 2 pack of BB's yesterday & played around with it last night & used it to apply my makeup this morning. I do like the BB better. It's softer and I think easier to apply with for that reason. Smoother application. This is still a good sponge but if you're debating between the two. I would just do the BB. You can find good deals online that make it only a few dollars more than this sponge :)

I love this blending sponge, it fits into every corner on my face and blends like a dream. It gets four stars just because it is impossible to clean and spending $10 on something that doesn't last very long isn't ideal. Mine actually started to come apart after washing it the first time. :(
I actually hate that I like this. I used it with my cheap DS foundation with no expectations and it came out wonderfully. It is also great for applying setting powder. I like it much better than my MAC brush.
But I can't get past that sinking feeling I get when I use it because I know I will have one hell of a time cleaning it. I am almost reluctant to use it because I don't look forward to the cleaning. Although I love the results, I don't have time to clean this everyday, so I might be able to only use it for special occasions. I also do not like the smell of it, which is rubbery. I am not sensitive to smells, but something about this one bothers me for some reason.
Despite these cons, I will consider repurchasing again or I might go and try the beauty blender.

I absolutely love this sponge. It works so well with liquid foundation. I have not tried this with powder, but I am sure it still would do a great job. I wash this with my regular makeup brush cleanser. It does stain after a few uses, but that's a given. Just like any sponge, you have to replace this often because the top begins to not be as pointy and it looks a little dingy.

Texas is big, bold, and beautiful. It might as well be its own soap opera. With its immense size, varying landscapes, and torrid history, Texas has many season's worth of drama already on the books.
As a northerner, born and raised in true Yankee fashion (which is confusing, I know, considering that I was raised in Red Sox Nation, which is certainly not Yankee fashion, but whatevs), my impressions of Texas were mostly based on what I'd seen on TV or in movies. And I'm not going to lie, most of that impression was unfavorable. But then something happened. A little show that could. A little show with some of the best acting you ever did see on the boob tube. A little show that was about Texas and football and made me think.
You may not believe in the medium of TV. Perhaps you're a book person or a Kindle/Nook (<— reminds me of snuggling) person, but if you're reading this, you gotta know that I truly believe in the power of visual media. When a TV show is good, when the writing is tight, interesting, and risky, the medium soars. Characters come alive, locales become believable, and you might even start to become deeply interested in Texas.
Even if you're a Yankee, a raging liberal, a proud vegan.
So, it was only required that my recent road trip include the Lone Star state. I wanted to see open stretches of flat road.
People said I'd be bored. I said that there's always something to see. People said we'd never find anything to eat, that we'd only see cattle fields, BBQ, and whole milk. I said I'd find food, even if it meant Subway in a town where there was Subway and nothing else. I said I'd have vegan BBQ if it required going out of the way (Memphis, TN won that particular bet). And I said I'd bring my own coffee creamer, which I did. All the way from Whole Foods in Arlington, VA.
I was pretty confident I'd conquer Texas.
Then Texas conquered me.
Dallas/Fort Worth, with a headache-inducing maze of concrete ramps and steamy highway lanes, broke my air conditioning. Our meandering and desire for BBQ in Tennessee, made a 12 hour trip from Nashville to Texas more like a 20 hour trip. We were hungry, full of empty calories that can only come from Subway's freshly baked bread, really couldn't take seeing another cross dotting the road like mile markers (only .25 miles until you're in hell), and the novelty of OMG-there-really-are-only-religious-radio-stations was wearing off. When we finally made it to our chain motel in some Texas town I can't remember, in the middle of what we were told was hill country, right next to a Sonic, we were too tired to care about the prospect of driving through hot ass Texas sans AC. Plus, there really were a lot of cattle farms and meat factories. Yummy.
The next morning, as is the case with the magic of road trips, it felt like anything was possible. That's not hyperbole, because really, that is the beauty of being on the road, where you're suspended between two coasts in an America that is more beautiful and tortured than you could have ever imagined. With a fresh optimism, we went off in search of rainbows.
No, dear readers, I haven't lost my mind.
We were headed here:
To our own little Texas sanctuary, the Rainbow Hearth Sanctuary.
Where we'd eat vegan food.
Converse with strangers from around the country. Finish books and drink two many cups of tea while sitting on our little porch:
Ponder the meaning life at the foot of a beautiful lake.
Realize, with surprise, that we were in Texas.
Feel like anything was possible again, just by virtue of the fact that this place existed.
Right before arriving at the Rainbow Hearth, a mechanic (henceforth known as Mechanic Buddha) in one of Texas' many small towns – one that might as well have been Dillon – said something that I'll never forget. But before I share his wisdom with you, you should probably know this about Texas: nothing, not a one thing, is open on Sundays. Those Texans sure know the meaning of "day of rest." Mechanic Buddha's claim to fame was being one of the only auto body shops open on Sundays (only til 2, though) for 75 miles. No. Joke.
Donut shops aren't open either. Aren't donuts inherently Sunday food?
Moral of that story is don't break your air conditioning in Texas on a Sunday. '
Moral of this story?
Don't be afraid of venturing into the unknown.
While my BFF/Driving Companion/Partner in Crime/Writing Partner/Love of my Life (after J.D. and Louis Pug), Tommy Bean, was off getting a verbal history lesson from the madame of the town's Billy the Kid museum (for the love all things Texas, do they ever love Jesse James and Billy the Kid), I was worried about the loud and fiery sermon happening in the church just behind me. I hoped Mechanic Buddha would quickly work his car magic.
With the steam of the air conditioning whozitwhatizt stuff (car expert right here!) billowing behind him, Mechanic Buddha knew I wasn't from Texas.
I said, "Nope. Right now I'm from nowhere."
"Based on the amount of stuff you got in that car, I'd say you're gonna be from somewhere soon."
"Yep, hopefully L.A."
"Oh. Wow."
Silence. Well, except for the holy roller music and cling-clanging behind me. This could so have been a scene from a Quentin Tarantino film.
"Uh. Hey. You do know you should probably be on the 1-10, it'll take you straight to Hollywood…this place is sort of not on the way."
Man, do I really look dumb enough to be so lost?
"Oh, I know. We're headed out on a different route. Taking the long way."
He nodded and wiped his greasy hands on his navy blue uniform. There couldn't have been a more perfect action or costume for this character. And I thought that was it. Then, as I was about to pay with my shiny credit card, he looked at me, staring me down.
And then he said it:
"I always dreamed of packing it all up and moving to California, but I never grew enough balls to actually do it. Now I've got a life here and can't just run away. I so admire you. Make sure you get there."
Make sure you get there.
A lesson for all of us. When you want something, don't let your lack of…ahem…balls deter you.
Words to live by.
Because if I can make it all the way through Texas without air conditiong, surviving on old hummus purchased many states ago, anyone can. And if you unexpectedly run into the most spectacular site you've ever seen, where windmills stretch across the flat grasses, twirling in the hot sun, like giant flowers in bloom, you'll be so incredibly glad you've got the balls to get you there in the first place.

love this post. makes me want to pack up my car and head across the US with no particular destination in mind.
Thank you! Me too. Wish I could do that everyday.
you are a great storyteller. love the "there really are only religious radio stations." very funny. what an adventure you had! glad you found the rainbow sanctuary. and the unexpected wisdom!
Thanks! After a while the novelty of the religious radio stations really starts to wear off. Sometimes you just want to listen to Beyonce.
Love! I now feel all nostalgic for those 5 hour drives between Austin and Wichita Falls, Texas I made as a kid. Hico is the halfway point, and it's such a funny little town! "Where Everybody is Somebody!"
Ah, yes! Where Everybody is Somebody! So great. I loved all the Texas signs. By far the best signs out of any state I drove through. Lots to love about Texas.

With success of the Food Talk Project, and the resulting posters created by students interviewing community members about their history and relationship to food, a new learning opportunity was born at O. Perry Walker College & Career Preparatory High School and Community Center.
Teacher Sheryl Eaglin, and Principal Mary Laurie of O. Perry Walker encouraged the students and welcomed the participating community members into this creative and powerful learning experience. From their work on the Food Talk Project, students expressed that they wanted to learn how to cook and grow food.
The "Cooking Right" elective was one of the the school's most popular elective offered in the Spring semester!

Boseko Lokombo – Outside Linebacker
Lokombo is a fifth year senior and a two year starter at strong side outside linebacker. He will also line up in the middle on some downs. While only a two year starter, he has gotten significant playing time in each of the last four years. Lokombo is a bit small for an OLB. He is listed at being 6'3 – 229. While he is supposed to be weight room strong, he doesn't carry that weight room strength over to the playing field. His best trait is his athleticism. He is a smooth athlete with body control and speed. He is listed at being a 4.7 guy but plays faster.
On tape he looks to have average instincts. He is not a quick reactor and doesn't anticipate well. He sees and reacts rather than instinctively get to the ball. While he plays with good effort he is not what I would call a physical player. He does not show strength and power at the point and can be slow to get off blocks. While he is around the ball a lot he doesn't make a lot of plays. His tackling ability is average. He does wrap up but you seldom see him "go thru" the ball carrier.
Lokombo does have good coverage skills. He gets walked off at times and lined up over the slot. He shows he can play some man coverage and shows awareness in zone. He gets depth with his drops and can transition. As a pass rusher, he is average at best. He doesn't come hard and lacks moves to slip blocks and the hand use to shed.
Overall, I feel Lokombo is better suited to play in a 4-3 scheme. He doesn't have the size and power to play in a 3-4 at the NFL level. While I don't see him as an every down player at this time, I do see him being used as a nickel linebacker because of his cover skills. He is going to have to get stronger, develop his hand use, and become more aggressive if he wants to be an every down type player. I would only draft him late, but there will be teams that will fall in love with his athleticism and draft him higher.

We were blown away by the entries for this Inspiration Challenge. The cupcakes were sparkling and beautiful, and we have no doubt that they all would be well received at a 50th anniversary party. But one collection of cupcakes stood out to us, and we're excited to announce that the winner of this challenge is sunnydayz! Congratulations!
This collection of cupcakes really appeals to us because we love small details. Each cupcake has some element that we didn't notice at first glance and were delighted to discover. The chandelier cupcake was a favorite because it combines hand painting with 3-D, and the chevron circles were also popular. All of the cupcakes subtly highlight different aspects of the inspiration board, and the small details sunnydayz found to work with from the inspiration photos are quite impressive. Congratulations, sunnydayz!
If you want to see more gorgeous anniversary cupcakes, take a peek at the other entries! Don't worry if you didn't get a chance to enter this challenge. We'll be announcing a new one later this week.

The actual feel of the game stays the same, it's just that you won't miss the ball like a flailing drunk anymore. In fact, as we are playing the memory of swiping at thin air never even enters our head. That's the new pick-up-and-play injection doing its job - and the on-screen prompts after every strike help us understand how everything works within your first few shots.
So, now that you can actually play Top Spin on the court, you can start worrying about the finer details off it as well. 2K Czech's Dupas reckons the team's managed to increase the number of animations by around 80 percent compared to Top Spin 3. The overhaul is geared towards remedying another criticism aimed at the predecessor; now each tennis star from Agassi to Murray has specific celebrations (Nadal's pneumatic victory fist, for example) and unique shot types.
A new attributes system also helps differentiate between players. Technical attributes like sprint speed, stamina, backhand, forehand and volley proficiency skills contribute to three different areas; your serve and volley expertise and your offensive baseline and defensive baseline game. Players be stronger in one of the three areas or a competent all-rounder, either way it pays to know who you're up against.
Andy Roddick, for example, will prefer to fire powerful forearm shots from the baseline, but he's not the quickest player to every grace the court. If you're a speed demon like Michael Chang, then you'll be able to keep Roddick on the move, sending him left and right as if he were taking a bleep test, and out-last and manoeuvre him every time.
It's in all of these areas then that Top Spin has evolved to become a deeper tennis game, giving players, in theory, more control with a simpler system that allows for tactical exploitation.
Having only been able to play a couple of matches, we were unable to see just how far Top Spin 4 can be taken in terms of mastering the racket. It's definitely a simpler system than TS3's, which tended to assume you'd just stepped off the clay that very afternoon.
The pick-up-and-play credentials then, we can vouch for. We'll need more time to determine just how far the hardcore tennis nut will be able to take Top Spin 4, but this one's not making too many faults so far.

Kansas City Community Kitchen
Each weekday, hundreds of hungry people in downtown Kansas City line up and wait for the clock to strike noon. For the next two hours, the doors will be open and the Kansas City Community Kitchen will serve between 400 and 600 hot meals. Some of these hungry people are homeless—most have jobs, but do not have enough to eat. They are known as the "working poor" and their population is growing.
Located at 8th and Paseo on the east side of downtown Kansas City, Missouri, the Community Kitchen has been serving noonday meals at no cost to people who are hungry and homeless for the last 25 years. The cornerstone of the Episcopal Hunger Relief Network, the kitchen has a volunteer base of 400 people who come from area Episcopal and other congregations, civic groups, and businesses. Each day dozens will help with food preparation, serving, and cleaning up.
Where does the food come from? Some is purchased at a nominal cost from an area food bank, but more than 70 percent of the food is donated by local merchants and individuals. We receive fresh produce from local community gardens and cuisine from area restaurants and corporations. One day, lunch may be chili made from the venison donated by a local hunting cooperative, while food left over from a hotel banquet is served the next!
Donations and volunteers are the key ingredients of the Community Kitchen's success. To find out more about food donations and volunteer opportunities, email Richard Conn or call him at (816) 472-0744.

I don't like things overdone. An interior is like a woman. She looks better when she's not too done up. And nobody wants a showy look these days. All my clients want their homes to reflect their everyday lives.

First the shipping was great and well delivered, I was very afraid to get this mirror in pieces because of her size, I got it perfect, even the driver waited for me to open it and made sure it is good before he left. It looks great in my livingroom above my Piano, If you have a big wall with hight ceiling this is a great mirror to go there and at the same time it is not bulky you can still see the wall behind, it's is perfect. I gave it a 4 stars not 5 because of the color I thought it's going to be more goldish but no it's more brass color than the Gold, but that is fine I still like it very much.
