Yup, Stockholm!
My first foray into Scandinavia. This was a work trip (bummer... but the expense account is an inarguable benefit), and I never quite mastered the correct pronunciation of the letter j in Swedish, but by a stroke of luck I was traveling with a friend and fellow foodie conspirator, and we managed to make the most of our time there. Basically, we ate a lot of potatoes and cream sauce.
First attempt at jetlag recovery -- a cappuccino from the Stationhuset (station house) cafe next to the train station in Saltsjobaden, a seaside area southeast of Stockholm. (Essentially, we were marooned out in the Catskills of Sweden. Beautiful, but nowhere near where we needed to be for work.) Our home base was an old, seen-better-days resort hotel a la The Shining. No pics (I don't want to give you any nightmares), but you can get a teeny glimpse of the hotel in the photo below.
The kok and bar was also very popular with the local sailors, who hopped off their boats and across the little dock to grab beers, burgers and fries (eaten in polite Scandinavian style with knife and fork). Great people-watching. It was lovely to sit by the water and eat bowlfuls of fish stew with cod and crayfish, bleak roe toast, cod in cream sauce with potatoes and mushrooms, and delicately cured salmon with potatoes in dill cream sauce. Potatoes. Cream. It took me a few days but I adjusted to my new diet.
We would have eaten there every night, I think, and did the first three, but they're closed on weekdays now that it's almost the end of summer (we totally freaked out when we discovered this, by the way. We. Were. Stranded.)
Coming from 90-plus-degrees-and-humid New York, it was quite a shock to arrive in low-60s-and-dry Stockholm. My big scarf was a trusty companion all week.
Moving on to Stockholm proper, thanks to Rick Steves we discovered that the opera house in the Norrmalm district, near the Royal Palace, has some fine eating. The flagship is a fancy and highly rated restaurant called Operakalleren (we didn't go there - too many krona!), but they also have two relatively casual eateries: the cozy Bakfickan ("hip pocket", pictured above) and the slightly larger and more formal Operabaren next door.
Bakfickan and Operabaren share an open kitchen that turns out expertly prepared, traditional Swedish specialties for the mostly local crowd: pickled herring five ways (including cream sauce, mustard sauce, and an especially pungent Baltic variety), lightly grilled gravlax, smoked salmon, Swedish meatballs with lingonberries, and Uppsala stew (cubes of tender, corned-beef-style brisket with root vegetables in a light but flavor-packed broth and topped with lots of freshly grated horseradish). Nearly everything was accompanied by a generous portion of perfectly boiled potatoes and cream sauce. Of course.
The locals seemed really into the grilled steak tartare, a generous hockey puck of deep-red chopped beef seared on the flat-top for about 30 seconds on each side to caramelize the exterior and leave the interior burgundy-colored and, ahem, juicy...to say the least. It was topped with an inch-thick disc of herbed butter and accompanied by fried potatoes, for good measure. Yowza. Though we were mesmerized every time a server walked past with one of these, I never got up the courage to try it.
It's worth a visit to Operabaren just to ogle the gorgeous ceiling, adorned with exquisite stained glass skylights.
Operabaren's Swedish meatballs with cream sauce, mashed potatoes, lingonberries, and pickled cucumber. Oh. My. Goodness. (My only other experience with Swedish meatballs was at an IKEA in Elizabeth, NJ, as a kid - can you believe it?)
A delicious special of lightly grilled gravlax with mustard sauce (I think they snuck some cream in there, too!), fingerlings, and wilted baby spinach.
And just a few more pics I snapped during the journey.
A cute square in Gamla Stan (old town).
Walking over the bridge between the National Museum and the Modern.

PS - I should add that I did not see a single IKEA while in Sweden.
PPS - I did see quite a few Volvos, though.

The Basic Principles of Decomposition Organic materials have many different qualities and uses. Yet all organic materials have a common trait that sets them apart from other materials: they naturally decompose. Decomposition is nature's way of recycling organic matter to replenish the soil and nourish plant growth. back to top | back to what is compost
Anaerobic Decomposition and Methane ProductionIn some situations, such as human-engineered landfills, decomposition can create serious problems. When buried, organic materials are cut off from air and decompose very slowly-even newspapers from 40 years ago can still be found relatively intact in landfills. Decomposition in the absence of air-or anaerobic decomposition-produces methane gas. Methane can build up in landfills or migrate underground to nearby buildings, creating the danger of explosion. As rain or groundwater percolates through the landfill, weak acids produced by decaying organic matter wash through the landfill and react with the other trash, creating a potentially toxic leachate that can contaminate groundwater, lakes, and streams. The systems designed to capture methane gas and collect leachate make landfills expensive to build and operate. back to top | back to what is compost
Managed Decomposition: CompostingWhen organic materials are separated from trash and allowed to decompose with an adequate amount of oxygen-or aerobically-they can be turned into compost, a valuable resource. When used in gardens and parks, compost helps to make soil loose and well-drained, provides plants with valuable nutrients, protects soil from erosion and compaction, and conserves water and other resources. back to top | back to what is compost

Written by Apothecary on 22.06.2014 at 23:51 Really wouldn't consider that "unorthodox," from what I remember it's really just typical atmospheric BM, raw as fuck production, and I hear a heavy Fen influence in it personally, so I dunno. Might have to give it a decent playthrough again though, I haven't in a while.
Written by mz on 23.06.2014 at 00:34 I didn't say that my "collection" is impressive, and physical copies of course are much more good looking. It was only meant to show that I was not able to check that especial band at that moment.
Written by Ilham on 24.06.2014 at 00:57 I like the fact your list doesn't include 300 items. It makes the gems you can find in this clearly visible. Although there are a dozen bands of which I don't know/never listened to yet, I agree with most of what I see. This is one of the lists I will use to catch up to what has been done in BM these last years. Thumbs up.

RE: 13 year old tomato seed germination (Follow-Up #15)
posted by: fusion_power on 02.12.2007 at 09:48 pm in Growing Tomatoes Forum I haven't posted because you seemed to have it in hand Carolyn. I am willing to help if needed.
Danabelle, My suggestion would be to set aside a few of the seed to send to someone else. That way you double the chances of getting viable plants. Then you could start as many as you were comfortable with and the other person could try also. The most important thing I've found is regulated temperature. Old seed germinate best if kept at a constant 80 degrees or just a bit below. I got good results by putting seed in an old chicken egg incubator. You can do just about as well with a bottom heat source. Here are the basic steps which Carolyn will elaborate on later: 1. pre-soak the seed in a nitrate solution. I prefer to use a dampened paper towel with a bit of miracle grow and wrap the seed overnight in the refrigerator. 2. Prepare seed mix with just the right amount of moisture. It is very important not to get too much water. The seed can rot if you do. 3. Plant the seed very shallow, no more than 1/8 inch deep. 4. Cover the seed tray with plastic but with one end open for a bit of air flow. This keeps the humidity high. Keep a close eye on them and re-moisten if the mix gets dry. 5. Be prepared to wait up to 6 weeks for a seedling! Fusion NOTES: <none>

RE: ?milorganite (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: garycinchicago on 06.20.2009 at 01:31 am in Lawn Care Forum > "The pre-emergent I applied last fall, and which I was planning on applying again this fall, only contains Dimension, no fertilizer. In the spring, the product I put down I think was both a fertilizer and a crabgrass preventer combo (from the HD)."
OK, thanks for the fill in. Like i said, I feel you have the right concept, just you need a little fine tuning - a little change of thought. This is what *I* would do on LI and basically what I do in Chicago. Your zone 6, I'm 5a .. you're just a little warmer than me .. earlier and later than me. [Keep in mind the times are generalized, not specific. Adjust accordingly for LI. but I'm close] Spring - April 1. PreM alone, no fertilizer. Watch forsythia. When they bloom yellow, it's time! Allow grass to green up naturally. Every year will be different. Some years spring is earlier, some are later. Some are dry, some are wet. Mother nature knows when the time is right - leave her alone, don't bother her! May 1, when grass is actively growing - when you actually gave it a complete hair cut, cutting every blade of grass ... go ahead and fertilize. Straight fertilizer, no step numbers. You pick which one (I'm cheap - I buy what's on sale like Scotts, Bill's, Joe's, Pete's etc - names, scnames. The main thing is nitrogen.) June 1, 4th of July, go ahead and drop that Milorganite. The lawn will love the iron. End of June - July 4, GrubX. Some will say don't apply unless you are sure you have grubs! I contend, don't drive unless you have insurance. Grab damage is BRUTAL. GrubX is cheap insurance. August's step #16 / Summerguard. Skip this. What's this protect you from, mosquitoes, house flys? It's too hot to fertilize. You end up stressing the lawn forcing it to grow when conditions aren't favorable for growing (notice now how you aren't mowing twice a week like you were in spring?)Your protected from grubs - you're good to go. Maintain irrigation throughout summer. Labor Day - whatcha got laying around. Turf Builder? That's fine - go ahead, temperatures are dropping which means favorable growing conditions again. PreM - now's the time to drop prevention against poa! Poa germinates when soil temps drop below 70 degrees. So like I said - whatcha got? Use it then. Still have preM alone and fertilizer alone, then you make two drops that day. Have Dimension w/fertilizer left over? Then that's what you use on or around Labor Day. Mid October - again, search the garage, use what you have. Did you buy the big bag of turf builder and still have some left? That's fine - USE IT! Don't fall for the marketing hype and names like "Winterizer" because that's a crock! In October, it's perfectly fine to apply a starter fertilizer too, *IF* your soil need the added phosphorous. University studies have proven that turf wants Nitrogen in fall, so it can store it as carbohydrates over winter to be used the following spring, NOT potash, which is what 'Winterizier' is full of. http://www.agry.purdue.edu/turf/tips/2008/09_03fallfert.html Now last thing and if you truly want to walk on the dark side of lawn geektom. Once top growth has stopped, when you make that final, last cut of the year, when you cut up mostly leaves not grass - drop the secret potion, Nitrogen. This needs to be fast release nitrogen, 46-0-0 urea (cheap, $23 for 50Lbs at Lesco) Urea is very strong and can cause nitrogen burn if too warm but not now because we're talking what? Thanksgiving? It's too cool outside for that to happen. The urea will not be used that fall but rather absorbed and then stored in the root system of the turf as carbohydrates until spring, when mother nature says "Wake up - it's time!" as noted above, LOL!!!!

RE: Saving Profusion Zinnia seed (Follow-Up #12)
posted by: maineman on 02.20.2007 at 02:39 pm in Seed Saving Forum Hi all,
I have been doing a bit of research about Profusion zinnias, because I plan to grow some this year, and even try to make some crosses with them. My previous messages about Profusions were, uh, "uninformed". That's nice talk for "wrong". The new Profusion series are tetraploids of interspecies crosses of Z. angustifolia with Z. violacea (formerly known as Z. elegans). They are produced by the Sakata Seed company. The Pinwheel series from W. Atlee Burpee Company was introduced before the Profusions, and they arose from the same sort of interspecies crosses followed by doubling their chromosomes to produce a true-breeding new species. That new species has been named Zinnia marylandica, in honor of the University of Maryland, where a lot of the original research leading up to the successful crosses was done. Both the Pinwheels and the Profusions come true from seed because of their tetraploidy, and both are considered to be members of the new species named Zinnia marylandica. At the very minimum I plan to cross different colors of Profusions with each other, and different colors of Pinwheels with each other. And I also plan to attempt crosses of Pinwheels with Profusions. And maybe some other experimental crosses as well. Let the fun begin. MM NOTES: saving profusion zinnia seeds

RE: pinching out new growth (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: nckvilledudes on 03.05.2008 at 11:55 am in Clematis Forum I have pinched out the growing tips for years now and posted some pictures last spring on how I actually do it. However, if you have a bud coming up on a low lying branch, I would do as Jeanne suggested and let it flower and then pinch the stem out. That way you get the best of both worlds. Pinching out growing tips can be done at any time of the year and at any height on the plant. It stimulates the axillary buds in the joint to break dormancy and you get two stems where you originally had one.

Driveway Garden through the Seasons
posted by: Deanneart on 08.21.2005 at 01:45 pm in Perennials Forum Well, I have too much time on my hands today so I've been playing with garden pics on the new computer. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to find pics from the same angle in the driveway garden and compare the seasonal changes. All of these photos are from 2005....
This first is a hoot and I didn't even remember taking it. The photograph was taken on January 24th. You can make out the lump in the middle of the photograph which is the large urn. The dried stuff to the left is the Matrona Sedum. It will be back to this all too soon. I guess I won't complain anymore about the heat this summer.
This next one is from April 6. Still lots of spring cleanup left to do here but things are beginning to green up and there are a few crocus blooming.
What a difference a few weeks make in the spring! This next photograph is from April 28th. I've finally planted some spring flowers in the urn and the grape hyacinth and daffodils are blooming. Everything is greening up and coming to life.
I couldn't believe I didn't have any photos from this angle from May but this next pic is from June 9th. Incredible! I forget how fast things grow in the springtime. The large rock that shows up in the earlier photos is completely covered up with the daylily and hakone grass foliage. The 'May Night' Salvia in the foreground was particularly gorgeous this year.
July 2 - The 'Stella d'Oro' is beautiful behind the birdbath and things are just bursting with color! Look how much the sambucus has grown behind that urn.
July 16th and the garden is really popping. The daylilies, lychnis, and coreopsis are blooming away. You can just see a bit of the 'May Night' in the lower left corner.
August 18th, that rudbeckia behind the BB is really making a statement! 'Stella d'Oro' is getting ready to do its rebloom. I've never gotten constant bloom from it as advertised but it does rebloom pretty well for me in this garden. The color goes well with that rudbeckia this time of the year. The Urn has filled in so much you can hardly see the BB anymore and I really love when that variegated Ipomoea fills in. I plant it there because the color of the vine echoes the Adjuga 'Burgundy Glow'. The aster in the foreground is getting ready to do its thing and the May Night still has a few flowers left in it. I love that plant! If you deadhead it regularly it blooms for a very long time. This year instead of just deadheading it I cut this one back almost to the ground after the first flush of flowers and it came back better than the ones I just deadheaded. I'll do the more severe pruning on this plant from now on.
So that's it so far and I'm thinking I'll take a few more pics as the garden winds down for the season. I still have anemones and re-blooming iris to come and the Matrona behind the urn is just beginning to open its fall show. Deanne NOTES: garden bed plan, also see the layout towards the end of the post.

My name is Lacy!
Facts about Lacy
- Breed: Rottweiler Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lacy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Please go to www.findingshelter.org to complete an application for Lacy.
Other Pets at Finding Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lacy, a Norristown Rottweiler dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rottweiler for sale in Norristown, or seeking a Rottweiler dog from a breeder in Norristown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Norristown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Norristown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Rottweiler breeders who help with Rottweiler rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Norristown paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm looking for a dark brown (NOT orangey brown) eye shadow to replace the eyeliner pencil I've been using. I just can't get a good line with the pencil so I'm giving up and I don't have a lot of time or patience to fuss with it at 5:30AM when I'm in a hurry to catch my ride to work. My skin is fair and my scant lashes are light brown w/blonde tips. I'd like a dark brown shadow that doesn't disappear into the creases by the end of the day. I've seen women whose eyes still look good in the afternoon and I'm sure they don't touch them up all day long in the bathroom! I like to look natural but not plain.
Can anyone recommend a brown eye shadow to do what I want, and is there something I should apply beneath it to help it to stay in place longer? |

To keep your eyeshadow perfect, buy Eyefix from Elizabeth Arden, I think? Ask at the department store beauty counter, and they will help. |
bed head makes some super shadows with excellent pigment. They stay on. I use the edge of a slant brush to do eyeliner. The best and easiest I have found. Got mine at my beauty salon. They are also online. Debby |
I use dark grey eyeshadow and used to have the same problem. After I apply my eye shadow I use a brush to apply a fine dusting of translucent face powder on top. After you put the powder on the brush tap the brush lightly to get rid of the excess powder. What is left is just enough to "set" the eye shadow without dulling the color. |
Thanks everyone! I'll try your suggestions. |

One of the best tips I learned a long time ago for brown eye shadow was to always mix just a bit of pink with it to avoid a dull look. |

Aug 18th 2006 5:41PM Excuse me, Malky..."anti-pedophilia bigotry?" When pedophiles act on their impulses, they are not only manipulating a child, they are engaging in harmful behavior that scars said child psychically, emotionally and almost always physically. It is NOT a "kink." BDSM, D/s, transvestism, etc. are kinks. Having sex in a non-consensual relationship with a pre-sexual, developmentally immature human being is immoral and illegal (at least in the United States and most other places I can think of in North America, South America and Western Europe).
Playing these pedophilic fantasies in SL is not like playing in the aforementioned sci-fi space navy. If you want to play "Star Trek," fine by me. Join my club (I mean it...join my club, SL STARFLEET). If you want to ageplay, keep it away from all lives, First *and* Second.
My paternalistic instincts to kick in when it comes to harming a child. If you don't like what I have to say, well...too bad.

Extra"Ordinary World": Duran Duran in SL {Second Life Insider}
Aug 7th 2006 5:56PM I'm all over this one! Duran Duran has been one of my favorite bands since around 1983. And you're right, Rik: TBMG would be a natural for SL. I'd love to see them take the plunge.
Let's see if DD's avatars look like how they looked back in the "Girls on Film" video. :)


text: A Total of €12 million was invested in the new headquarters in Torri di Quartesolo, Vicenza, Italy—an architectural and functional example for the small and medium-sized enterprises of the Northeast. The facility, with its technology and space rationalization, will be dedicated to pursuing and enhancing the implementation of industrial patents in fields like pneumatics, medical science, and metallurgy, which will make Galvanin one of the top Italian laboratories for vanguard mechanical solutions.GalvaninLab is Galvanin Luigino S.p.A.'s brand-new excellence center, born to answer the necessity of supplying innovative and high-performance niche products to markets driven more and more by scientific development. Creating GalvaninLab in late 2008, in conjunction with the relocation of the headquarters to Via Longare, Torri di Quartesolo (VI), Italy, Galvanin S.p.A. aims to provide a unique level of personalized service.Through its existing research laboratory—highly qualified in the industrial design of stamping tools and accredited by the Italian Ministry of University and Research—active collaboration with the most important Italian universities has been carried out, particularly with the Universities of Padua and Trento, but also with the American athenaeums of Washington, Boston, and Ohio State. This allows a constant enhancement of industrial engineering know-how, giving the firm a strong base of transferable technical knowledge.Galvanin Luigino S.p.A. can thus dedicate a whole department to technical and scientific innovation. It is an initiative where research, design, experience, and technology come together in a high-tech laboratory that runs parallel to normal production. This latter is the very reason why a new image and logo have been designed for GalvaninLab, though similar to the original. "Inside your success" then turns into "Inside your project," to highlight this particular dedication to customer projects.GalvaninLab's Goals• Increasing stamping line productivity.• Working on bimetallic materials.• Enhancing implemented technologies and introducing new ones. Registering international patents while keeping an eye on the newest technologies, such as nanotechnology.These are GalvaninLab's aims. The firm aspires to become the first Italian laboratory for highly specialized applications, like those used in medical and metallurgical environments. It will be the first Italian laboratory serving all those fields where a vanguard mechanical specialization is needed in order to be the best.Unlike classic laboratories, GalvaninLab is created to offer Galvanin Luigino S.p.A. customers a unique level of service. Every project is in the care of a specialized team, made up of engineers, designers, mechanics, and technicians. Customers follow the design process step by step. Each step is tested on the basis of a common agreement. This way, customers themselves are encouraged to rethink and redesign their own creations. Offering precise components, designed to be more s pecific and robust, means better performance from final products.What's more, GalvaninLab advances a new vision. Thanks to the new facility, Galvanin Luigino S.p.A. is now not just a supplier but also a partner to whom customers can turn for advice. Not unlike what is happening in the fashion business, a tighter supplier-buyer relationship is thus encouraged. As a result there is more product awareness, increased problem-solving skills, and a direct connection with the research. For more information, contact Galvanin Luigino S.p.A.; Tel: +39-0444-380375.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Skittles (PENDING!)!)!
Facts about Skittles (PENDING!)!)
- Breed: Beagle/Rat Terrier Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Skittles (PENDING!)!)'s Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
SKITTLES HAS AN APPLICATION PENDING!!!Skittles is an adorable, friendly, very sweet and affectionate female Terrier/Beagle mix. Skittles was turned into a pound in southern Il because her owner's were moving and could not take her along. She's about 8 years old and has been well cared for and loved her entire life. She is now confused as to why she's at the shelter and would like to get back with a family soon. She does well with children, however very young children scare her. She also does well with other animals. She was a housedog, so we are assuming she is house trained, however she may need a refresher after living in a kennel. Skittles is currently awaiting rescue/adoption from a kill-shelter in southern IL. We would love to help her out, but all of our foster homes are filled. If interest is shown in her, Skittles can be transported to Chicago. She will be fully vetted and prepared for adoption. If seriously interested in possibly adopting this adorable girl please contact us ASAP!
• Skittle's adoption donation is $250. This donation helps to cover her spay, initial vaccines, initial worming and microchip. Pal's Place relies solely on donations to care for the pets in our care. Your donation also helps save other animals like Skittles from euthanasia.
• Please email email@example.com for an adoption application and please put the name of the dog in the subject line. Please be sure to check your spam/junk folder; sometimes the applications end up in there!
• All of our dogs are in foster homes are can be seen BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, after an approved application has been received. To receive more info please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Email is the preferred method of contact and is the quickest way to receive a response. We cannot place holds on our dogs, please do not contact us until you are prepared to adopt.
Other Pets at Pal's Place
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Skittles (PENDING!)!), a Chicago Beagle/Rat Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Rat Terrier for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Beagle/Rat Terrier puppy from a breeder in Chicago.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chicago already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chicago breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Rat Terrier breeders who help with Beagle/Rat Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chicago paves the way for another one to be saved.

If I recall, this made my eyes sting/irritated my contacts. I think it's just too harsh- surprising because usually Cetphil products are known for being gentle. The applicator is nice, but it's just too harsh- it also looks kind of greasy on the skin, doesn't absorb very well, and doesn't wear well under makeup (a big no-go for most people on this site, I'm willing to bet).
AWFUL. Absolutely no redeeming qualities here. Burns upon application and turns my face red and shiny. ALL DAY. Please do not buy this!
This was the biggest waste of my money. I would not suggest this stuff to anyone. Cetaphil usually makes quite decent products so I was excited to find a moisturizer by them with sunscreen in it. I could not wait to wash this crap off of my face, I have combo skin.. my cheeks are dry but my t-zone gets a little bit oily throughout the day but this stuff makes your face look greasy enough to fry eggs on, it feels terrible on the skin.. it doesn't absorb at all, it just feels gross, i'm hoping i can return it tomorrow and get my money back.
Bad news. I thought Cetaphil was recommended for sensitive skin, but this moisturizer (along with regular Cetaphil lotion) makes my face BURN when I apply it, and the stinging lasts until I wash it off. I hate it. It looks greasy on, and I have dry skin. The SPF factor is nice, as is the pump packaging, but the product itself sucks and I will never repurchase.
I used this as a sample from my derm's office after a peel, b/c I didn't have my own with me. They gave me 3 small tubes, and I used all of them over 3 days.
FINISH: It is shiny, but I use powder (no foundation), so that eliminated the shine. I'm fair, so there was no white cast, but I can see this may be a problem for some darker complexions.
SPF: I do like that it's broad spectrum, with physical and chemical, boasting a 55 rating.
REACTION: It didn't sting, although sometimes I get that after a while of using. It's fragrance free, so I love that. I didn't get any blemishes after 3 days, so I'm planning to buy a tube, since that's usually my problem with ss.
Bottom line: it's not my HG, but I guess it'll do until I find it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
- Evens out my skin tone
- Feels lightweight
- Didn't have breakouts
- Left my face a little oily
- Pretty expensive (Aprox. $15 for 50ml)
*I don't leave home without it.
I have this around for days that I know I'm going to be outside for a long period of time (ie: going to the park with my son, going to the zoo, an amusement park, etc.) and will need something that can hold up well. My daily moisturizer is the Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer with spf 15, which is great for day to day, but I don't know that it can hold up for a long, brutal day in the sun. This moisturizer really feels just like a typical sunscreen, not a moisturizer with spf mixed in. For that reason, I ONLY use it during those long outdoor days, and very sparingly. Its quite thick feeling on the face, even though the consistency as it is coming out of the tube isn't. I think its just a bit too much for me to actually use this as a "daily moisturizer". (though its not really claiming to be a "daily" moisturizer.) I also don't think its really "greasy" just....doesn't seem to sink into the skin as well as my typical cetaphil moisturizer. Now that we are getting closer to cooler months, I don't think I'll repurchase, because my time outdoors won't be as much as during the summer....and even next summer, I don't think I'll repurchase this one... Perhaps try another. Still a toss up, because it DOES do well as a sunscreen and doesn't break me out as other basic sunscreens and I trust the Cetaphil line... we'll see. I'll put no for right now.
--over all, I'll be honest...I'm not sure if they are marketing this as a moisturizer with high SPF or just a sunscreen sort of product. Either way, I've found a way to use it that works out for me when I need it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm constantly looking for a daily facial moisturizer with SPF, but this one just doesn't work for me. Keep in mind, I do have oily skin that is sometimes breaks out. I'm not very self-conscious about my oily skin, but I absolutely hate how oily this moisturizer makes my skin look! Within 5-10 minutes after applying this product, even after applying a face powder, my face is completely drenched in oil. I feel like my skin doesn't even naturally get that oily. However, the SPF works great, and I haven't gotten a sunburn after going to the beach. I do like the packaging, and wish more products used such a convenient and controllable pump. I feel comfortable wearing this moisturizer if I'm going to the beach or exercising outside, but I will not repurchase this again once I run out.
PROS: Less greasy than Neutrogena Oil-Free spf15. SPF50.
CONS: Not water resistant even. Broke my acne-prone teen out bad. Feels very heavy on my skin and a little greasy.
USAGE TIPS: If you are prone to clogging, you may want to remove this with a cleansing oil before using your regular cleanser..
ALTERNATES: Trader Joe's Enrich SPF15 is moisturizing but not greasy at all. When I need 30 or above, I use Hawaiaan Tropic's Silk Hydration or some name like that (but it can clog me if I use it for more than a few days in a row, so I only use it when I'm going to be in the sun a lot that day).
I love this moisturizer! I have very sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin. This product did not make me break out or have a reaction at all! It is hydrating, and non-greasy. Also, very easy to apply, so I don't know why some people said they could had trouble with that?? Weird. And the pump is so easy and hygienic! As for the oily residue some people have complained of, I really can't tell if that is true, because my skin is always oily, no matter what products I use, but I am happy and will repurchase.

To be expected, the seats were small. Got me where I wanted to go with no problems or stopovers. Flight attendants -male - to and from. Pleasant and helpful. Free snacks and drinks! Definitely a do-over.

Contrary to popular belief, English Renaissance heralds did not play trumpets. Think of them as the earliest professional brand consultants, genealogists, and trademark protectors. They had the singular power to bestow enduring and easily recognizable symbols of status and honor upon individuals and institutions who had the proper lineage, reputation, and wealth.
A new exhibition at the Folger, curated by Nigel Ramsay and Heather Wolfe, casts light on the colorful and controversial world of English heraldry, and for the first time, brings original drafts of Shakespeare's coat of arms from England to the United States.
"The Folger's collection of heraldic and genealogical manuscripts is an untapped treasure, exploring the extensive resources that the heralds created in order to perform their duties," says Heather Wolfe. "I love that the manuscripts reveal the heralds as human beings with distinct personalities and work ethics, as they struggle and compete to professionalize the field."
Heralds created coats of arms that symbolized the values, status, and sometimes the last name, of the commissioning individual, such as Shakespeare's "spear" on his arms. Heralds also guaranteed that an individual's arms were unique and regulated how they could be used by other family members. An individual's arms could be displayed on buildings, clothing, armor, monuments, rings, utensils, cups, plates—virtually anywhere the individual wanted to assert his or her status.
More than 50 books and manuscripts, including the Folger's unique collection of the working papers of the most influential heralds from Shakespeare's time, reveal the astonishing growth and importance of heraldry in the period, and the ways in which early modern heralds shaped modern genealogy.
Exhibition Highlights
About the Curators Nigel Ramsay is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Law at the University of Exeter since 2013, as well as a research fellow in the History Department of University College London since 1997. A historian of medieval and Tudor England, he previously held posts at Canterbury Cathedral and in the Department of Manuscripts of the British Library. He has edited histories of the Canterbury Cathedral and Ely Cathedral at well as English Medieval Industries: Craftsmen, Techniques, Products. A new collection of essays, Heralds and Heraldry in Shakespeare's England, publishes in July 2014.
Heather Wolfe is curator of manuscripts at the Folger Shakespeare Library. She has curated numerous Folger exhibitions and has written widely on early modern manuscripts and the intersections between print and manuscript. Recent publications include The Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608 (2007), The Literary Career and Legacy of Elizabeth Cary (2007) and Letterwriting in Renaissance England (2004), co-written with Alan Stewart.

I may be referring to myself more than I'd like to admit when I suggest that as human beings, we're probably not as open as we should be to such things as nuance when seeking answers to big questions. We tend to like things that are simple because we're pretty simple ourselves. Unfortunately, the simplest answer doesn't necessarily share very much in common with the most accurate answer.
In baseball, this is best represented by our collective curiosity over what we consider to be the best pitches. Water cooler conversation was practically invented for conversations sparked with questions along the lines of: "Who do you think has the best curve ball in the Majors?"
Pitch type linear weights, a statistic available on the pitcher profile pages on Fangraphs, attempt to answer such questions by measuring the impact each pitch has in run expectancy. That sounds more complicated than it is, but if you understand how batters tend to do worse with a 0-2 count than a 2-0 count, you can understand that each and every pitch has a calculable impact on run scoring. Since we can understand and label the type of each pitch that is thrown, we can also add up the sum of that pitch's impact through an entire season.
For instance, you can say that Brandon McCarthy has the best slider in baseball because that pitch has resulted in a total sum of more than five runs every 100 times it's been thrown this season. By this measurement, Yu Darvish has the best change up; Luis Mendoza has the best curve ball; Anibal Sanchez has the best sinker; Kevin Millwood has the best split finger fastball; Blake Beaven has the best cutter; Chad Billingsley has the best two-seamer; and Kris Medlen has the best four-seamer.
Unfortunately, none of that is actually true. Yes, those pitches have resulted in creating negative run expectancies for batters, but to look at the pitch itself is to totally ignore what may be the most important part of a pitcher facing a batter: the pitch chain, or the sequence of pitch types delivered to the batter. In other words, it's far more complicated than merely looking at the impact that one pitch has on the opposition's run expectancy.
I mentioned that Kris Medlen is judged to have the best four-seam fastball in Major League Baseball by pitch type linear weights, but Medlen's fastball, on its own, is far from impressive. It leaves the right-handed pitcher's hand at an uninspiring average of 90 miles per hour. It doesn't move especially more than any other pitcher's fastball and it doesn't have a cloaking device that makes it disappear to batters attempting to make contact.
In fact, forgive me for the following analogy, but Medlen's fastball is the Turtle to his repertoire's Entourage. What the fastball has going for it is his other pitches. It's the almost palpable threat that it might be a change up or a curve ball. This is what allows Medlen to throw an 87 miles per hour fastball on an 0-2 count in the middle of the strike zone, and have it hand cuff the batter, as he did during Sunday's start against Justin Turner of the New York Mets.
There's no way that this pitch is not swung at by a Major League batter if he didn't previously see an exemplary change up before facing what would otherwise be a giant meatball on the inside part of the plate.
Here's that change up in action against a right-handed batter:
And here it is against a left-handed batter:
Aside: Look at where David Ross sets up for that pitch, and please let me know if you've ever seen a more accurate off-speed breaking pitch in your entire life.
Both of the above change ups are delivered with two strikes to the batter, but what makes the pitch so effective is that Medlen is willing to throw it in any count. Whether behind, even or ahead in the count, the Braves starter will go to his change up between 24% and 32% of the time against left-handed batters; and between 12% and 13% against right-handed batters.
This has resulted in an insanely high 48% whiff rate. In almost half of the swings that batters have taken against Medlen's change up they've missed the ball completely.
Here is his whiff rate with his change up:
Here's his foul rate with his change up:
This is probably a mistake pitch, given where we see Ross set up for it, but it does a good job of showing the ridiculous movement on his curve ball in comparison to the change up:
Aside: It's quite likely that my favorite thing in baseball is a pitcher fooling a batter to the degree where he moves away in fear of the pitch hitting him, and it lands for a strike anyway.
Again, we see that much like his change up, Medlen is not afraid to throw his curve ball in any situation. Whether behind, even or ahead in the count, the right-hander will go to his hook between 14% and 20% of the time against left-handed batters; and between 18% and 24% against right-handed batters.
All of this adds up to look as though Medlen has three very dominant pitches, but the success of each is dependent on the others to establish it. Yes, his change and curve have batter-fooling movement, but without the threat of the fastball, which he has a tremendous ability to locate, the movement wouldn't mean much at all. The same holds true for his off-speed and breaking pitches.
Kris Medlen and his success this season is a prime example of a pitcher who optimizes the talent he possesses. While we might look at animated GIFs of the pitcher making batters look foolish, and see his positive linear weights for each pitch type in his arsenal, his incredible run isn't so easily explained by the results of any single part of his repertoire. He owes his success to the use of all three in combination, which collaborate to create a viable threat to the batter that he could be facing any one pitch in any situation.
This is maddening to the batter, pleasing to the pitcher, and it leaves spectators with jaws dropped, not only because of the sheer beauty of his individual pitches, but also over how complicated it is to explain the effectiveness of each. So, while it may be a negative part of human nature to gloss over complexities in search of the easiest answer possible, we also possess the inherent ability to appreciate beautiful things. In this sense, Kris Medlen's fastball, change up and curve ball represents the best and worst in all of us.

Easy Peasy 1.1: New Version of the Ubuntu Derivative for Netbooks
The latest release of Easy Peasy comes with artwork updates and re-worked packages but few spectacular changes.
Easy Peasy, the Ubuntu derivative for e-books has been released in version 1.1. Based on Ubuntu 8.04, the distribution, published by Jon Ramvis in 2007, is a customized version of Ubuntu for netbooks with a Netbook Remix interface. The difference is in a couple of scripts which makes netbook installation easier and some pre-installed proprietary applications like Skype, Flash and Picasa. The distro works with Asus Netbooks 7xx, 9xx and 1000 and also Acer Aspire One. Easy Peasy was originally called Ubuntu Eee, but had to be changed after protests from Canonical.
The first thing we notice with version 1.1 is the new look. Developers have set a new icon theme, wallpaper, log-in and splash screens. The Ubuntu logo has been removed and bugs fixed. The Ubiquity installer no longer starts after installation and the package-manager now recognizes the essential package sources. Also included is a bugtracker, a rather sparse re-worked webpage and upgrades for Songbird, Picasa and Flash.
An upgrade of the disto for users who already have Easy Peasy should be available from today. For everyone else, a distribution ISO is already ready for download.

1 These are the commaundmentes, ordinaunces and lawes which the Lorde youre God commaunded to teach you, that ye might doo them in the londe whother ye goo to possesse it: | 1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, |
2 that thou mightest feare the Lorde thy God, to kepe all his ordinaunces and his commaundmentes which I commaunde the, both thou and thy sonne and thy sonnes sonne all dayes off thy lyfe, that thy dayes maye be prolonged. | 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. |
3 Heare therfore Israel and take hede that thou doo thereafter, that it maye goo well with the and that ye maye encrease myghtely: eue as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promysed the, a lode that floweth with mylk ad hony | 3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you. |
4 Heare Israel, the Lorde thy God is Lorde only | 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. |

6 And these wordes which I commaunde the this daye, shalbe in thine herte | 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. |
7 ad thou shalt whett them on thy childern, and shalt talke of them when thou art at home in thyne housse and as thou walkest by the waye, ad when thou lyest doune and when thou rysest vpp: | 7 Impress them on your children.

10 And when the Lorde thy God hath borught the in to the lond which he sware vnto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, to geue the with greate and goodly cities which thou byldest not, | 10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you--a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, |
11 and housses full of all maner goodes which thou filledest not, and welles dygged which thou dyggedest not, ad vynes and olyue trees which thou plantedest not, ad whe thou hast eaten, and art full: | 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant--then when you eat and are satisfied, |
12 Then beware lest thou forget the Lorde which broughte the out off the lande of Egipte the housse of bondage. | 12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. |

15 For the Lorde thy God is a gelouse God among you lest the wrath of the Lorde thy God waxe hotte vppon the and destroye the from the erth. | 15 for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. |
16 Ye shall not tempte the Lorde youre God as ye dyd at Masa. | 16 Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah. |
17 But se that ye kepe the commaundmentes of the Lorde youre God, his witnesses and his ordinaunces which he hath commaunded the, | 17 Be sure to keep the commands of the LORD your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you. |

19 and that the Lorde maye cast out all thine enemies before the as he hath sayed. | 19 thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the LORD said. |
20 When thy sonne axeth the in tyme to come sayenge: What meaneth the witnesses, ordinaunces and lawes which the Lorde oure God hath commaunded you? | 20 In the future, when your son asks you, "What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the LORD our God has commanded you?" |
21 Then thou shalt saye vnto thy sonne: We were bondmen vnto Pharao in Egipte, but the Lorde brought vs out of Egipte with a mightie hande. | 21 tell him: "We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. |
22 And the Lorde shewed signes and wondres both greate ad evell vppon Egipte, Pharao and vppon all his housholde, before oure eyes | 22 Before our eyes the LORD sent miraculous signs and wonders--great and terrible--upon Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. |
23 and broughte vs from thence: to brynge vs in ad to geue vs the londe which he sware vnto oure fathers. | 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land that he promised on oath to our forefathers. |

Will Obama ease US policy toward Cuba?
A new approach could represent a relatively easy first step down a generally more controversial path of engaging with America's adversaries.
A desire by President-elect Obama to enter the White House signaling change in US foreign policy may well lead to quick – though perhaps modest – action on Cuba.
When he assumes office, Mr. Obama will be largely focused on addressing the worst economic dive in generations. But in that context there are several reasons a shift toward Cuba – a thorn in the side of the last nine presidents – could begin early next year:
•Obama could take a number of steps, such as easing contacts between Cuban-Americans and their families on the island, by executive action – thus signaling a shift from Bush policies without dedicating a lot of effort to it.
•The November elections and recent polls reveal a Cuban-American community more disposed to opening up channels to the communist island, even though the Castro brothers continue to govern it – meaning the political capital spent on a shift would be negligible.
•Moving on Cuba would give Obama something of a "twofer," signaling to the rest of Latin America the advent of a different policy toward the hemisphere.
•Making Cuba a test case of a new willingness to engage with US adversaries could be a relatively easy first step down a generally more controversial path.
Cuba presents Obama with "low-hanging fruit," easily picked, to suggest "a new foreign-policy direction," says Anya Landau French, a senior fellow at the Lexington Institute, a free-market-oriented think tank in Washington. Steps as basic as increasing antinarcotics cooperation, she says, offer "a way to break from Bush policy without a great effort."

The mission is to create a model university education program that not only provides an exceptional experience for the cycling participants, but also offers effective methods of connecting with inspired community members and assisting people in need.
A diverse group of passionate university students shall come together to spend a semester (three months) cycling into communities throughout the United States. The program is designed to connect cycling participants with local community members through 1) service projects, 2) collaborative art and music projects, 3) a hands-on interactive "carnival of passions" project, and 4) follow up resources. The experience aims to provide a rich learning experience for participants, and inspire community members to develop their own passions, and help turn those passions into reality.
See Program Elements to learn more about the specifics!!
- Passion inspires passion!
- Those most in need of help, love, support often are the persons who fall through the cracks. We aim to find and support those folks.
- Those who have the least are often giving the most.
- Often people up to "good" in a community are not part of a larger non-profit, they are just individuals that are inspired to action for one reason or another.
- We must take care of the people and world around us – conscious living.
- Everyone has talents -often unrealized that need to be discovered and supported to blossom.
- Interactive, hands on learning is the key.
- Something can be learned from everyone.
- Celebrate diversity – age, gender, economic, cultural, religious and ethnic diversity makes our world a beautiful place to live.
- Learning occurs everyday and often through unexpected circumstances, and chance encounters.
- Anyone can create and enjoy art & music.
- Art and service provide great ways to connect people.

Gloucester County College Nursing Fall 2011 Hopefuls?
0Feb 16, '11 by dannipointHi everyone!
Thought I could start this thread for anyone that is applying to the GCC Nursing Program this spring? I'm just getting my portfolio organized and prepared. I have to take the HESI one more time on Feb 24th and attend an info session on Feb 28th and I'm all set. I'm so nervous! But, I'm going to try to be optimistic. I look forward to hearing from you guys Take Care~
0Mar 5, '11 by dannipointhey
I'm a little nervous to be honest. I took the HESI twice. However, I wasn't able to use the second scores which were a lot better because I didn't meet the min. for implications % conclusions. I was able to use my first scored which all met the min. but in my opinion weren't the best... I'm praying everyday though lol. If I don't get in.... i'm looking into nj and ny community college and universities. How are you? And is this Cynthia? lol. GOOD LUCK! -
0Mar 12, '11 by dannipointI know~ i'm crossing my fingers that I get in. I have A's in all the sciences.... but i'm worried about my HESI scores.... i hope 84 composite is enough and i'm hoping they will see by my science scores that I'm determined and good enough to be accepted! I really hope so. Oh, that's a shame Even if I don't get in this time, i'll try again next year as well as apply to other schools. I'm so nervous!! lol. But I'm hoping for the best ^^ Good luck to you! Are you taking courses this semester?
0Mar 12, '11 by momtoforeHi,
I hope you get in too! I wish other people would look for this forum and let us know they applied, lol!
I am taking Human Development and Spanish for the Medical Professional this semester. Both of them are pretty easy thankfully. I am preparing myself for insanity for the next two years. I spent the last few years taking my pre-reqs so I could do only nursing classes but may need to go full-time in order to get a deferred student loan. I could scream! We may be able to fund this semester, but nothing after that. So I'm wondering about going full-time in the earlier 'easier' semesters and paying outright later. Gah.
We'll know in a few weeks, though! Then the insanity starts! -
0Mar 12, '11 by dannipointI know same here. I doubt we are the only two that applied lol. I'm taking Nutrition, Nursing Dosages, Sociology, CPR, and COM 102 right now. If i get in I still have 2 more pre-reqs to take which are Humanities elective and Dev Psy. I will probably have to be a full time student as well, although it would be a lot easier to just take nursing courses and that's what they recommend too. Also, i'm doing cna classes at the college starting may 25th. So hopefully I can work while in the program.... but obviously not full time. I'm sooooooooooo anxious and nervous at the same time!!!! I really want to be accepted!!!
0Mar 12, '11 by dannipointoh~ and how is spanish for medical professions? I was thinking about taking that.
0Mar 17, '11 by momtoforeI find the Spanish course to be very easy, but I've had Spanish before. But she works for everyone to learn the phrases, even the people who have never had Spanish.
Wow, you're taking a lot of classes! Why are you taking CNA? I thought we can work as a CNA after our first semester, but I'm not sure. How did you get into the dosages class??? I tried to sign up for it for the fall and it wouldn't let me! Is that CPR class the one we need? I am going to sign up for CPR soon, once I get my next Psych test in and get my resume written up so I can apply for a job. Then I'm going to get life straightened out here at home so I won't be behind here while I am slaving away at school, lol.
I've bought a few books to start studying from. Going to start that after this next Psych test, too!
Less than 3 weeks to go! -
0Mar 23, '11 by dannipointI'm taking the CNA course because I think it will be good experience. And I am not 100% sure but I believe you have to have a certificate in order to work as a CNA. You make a good point though. Since the first semester is basically fundamentals of nursing like bed baths and the majority of it is CNA work, I wonder if you can work as a CNA after the first semester of the program. If so, I might reconsider wasting my 1245.00 lol.
I got in the dosage class by registering online. It let me in. It said the pre-req was passing the math portion of the placement test. It's beneficial to take. It's only a 1 credit course too.
I'm actually taking CPR at the college as a 2 credit class, but I do know the continuing education center at GCC has cpr classes for much cheaper and in a shorter duration.
I know! I'm so nervous but I can't wait to get those letters!

Hello. I'm new to the forum and hope that you can help my husband and I. We just bought a 1990 DW on a permanent foundation and want to open up the kitchen to the LR area. Our LR, Dining area and kitchen are in a U pattern.
We currently have in the middle wall (the wall in the center of the DW - if I'm not mistaken, this is a load-bearing wall) a coat closet and a bookcase. ------------------------------------------
We want to take down the middle wall and convert it into a breakfast bar. We plan on putting a post at the end of the breakfast bar for support. What we want to know is, has anyone done this before, and if you have any tips. --------------------::
We also have a wood-burning fireplace in the corner of the LR that we would like to convert to gas. It has an unsightly paneling above the mantle that goes to the ceiling that we want to either cover or remove.We also want to remove the faux stone surround, and replace with tile. Also, the base needs to be lowered to the floor, because it juts out into the room too far.
Follow-Up Postings:
i would contact the manufacturer of the home and find out if you dare to mess with that center wall..myself..i would never remove a center wall in a double wide..you are asking for trouble..they are engineered in such a way as the walls provide the stability of the home. i would rethink my plans |
i would also rethink the gas fireplace..... we have gas logs in the den, and we thought that it would be great.... instead, it is only expensive. the gas logs use so much gas that we cant enjoy them.. if i had it all to do over i would have NOT installed the gas logs, and would have stayed with the regular fireplace. i know it is messy, and can be a pain, but it would be better than having gas logs and not able to use them. z |
