Re:Wow (177 comments)
While I love this decision also, I find it sad that we now applaud people who want to take care of their customers... Didn't that used to be a given?
Speaking as someone that handles consumer's problems - you are correct. There's nothing I hate more than hearing "Sorry for your inconvenience." - especially from airline employees!
Oh yeah! How about, the next time you're on strike and bitching about how you're not making enough, I walk up to you and say, "Sorry about the inconvenience!"
Here's the thing, with this shitty economy, companies are seeing the light! Amen! They're paying attention to customers. Just walk into a Home Depot now. I got asked 4 times if I found what I'm looking for! Now, they're pissing me off for being so helpful. Talk about the pendulum swinging!
P.S. To you Aladrin: I see that big orange ball by your userID. For what it's worth, whatever I said, I meant nothing personal, but I stand by my opinions. I take responsibility for what I've said that has offended you. Judge me as you will.

You... you do realize that the congressmen don't spend all your taxes on themselves.... right? They do live on budgets, like "normal" people. Hell, a typical federal congressman makes only $170k a year. It's good money, to be sure, but it's WAY less than wall street bankers, major league athletes, TV personalities, etc...
Well, if it's so baaaad, then why don't they change the law so that they're compensated better?!? They are in the Legislature after all. If they were soooo hard up, they can just change the law. They have no problem giving themselves raises when they want to.
So, why do they do it? Hmmmmm?
Let me tell you another thing. They make a shit load of money outside of office. And if they get elected out of office they make a shit load of money as lobbyists.
Don't you dare defend those corrupt assholes! Those assholes who sell us out for perks, soft money, connections, etc....
You don't have to get a cash payout to be corrupt. The best payouts are connections and inside information.
Why is it that ALL Congressmen are millionaires or end up as such? Hmmmm?
Time and time again, we the people are sold out to big business when all of us do not want said legislation.
Man, I'm so angry with your defense of those asshole in Congress.

Re:The big question that must be answered (784 comments)
My understanding (I'm not a lawyer) is that taxing interstate commerce is prohibited by the constitution (the root of all US law).
Of course you're not. No one is. Everyone on the internet isn't qualified to make any opinions because if we were, we wouldn't be giving them away for free online: we'd be paid big bucks for our knowledgeable opinion and wouldn't be here.
I'm just tired of reading the qualifiers. Even if you were, it wouldn't matter. For example, in my business law class, a classmate brought in his employment agreement that his new employer wanted him to sign. The lawyer looked at it and said, "Sign it and forget about it. It isn't enforceable in this state." Then the lawyer said, "Some companies have their general council write these things for all of their offices when what they write may be legal in their state, but it isn't in others. When seeking legal advice, only use a lawyer that is a member of the BAR in your state."
That's just where I'm coming from. Unless you're a member of the BAR in my state, I will take whatever you say with a grain of salt - and that includes all of you who are actually lawyers.
Re:which state(s)? (784 comments)
Ok...so which state will the taxes be going to? The state in which the business operates out of, or the state in which the purchase was made in, or both?
What?!? You expect a simple solution from the politicians?!
It'll probably be a complex formula that depends on: the card holder's state of residence, where the items were shipped, where the company does business, whether or not the person makes over $250,000 per year, which states the item passes through when it goes from the retailer to the purchaser, and I'm sure some lobbyist will make some other horse shit that I'd never think of in a million years.

Yes they do. People HAVE died from taking sports to extremes. Long distance runners who die from exhaustion or getting lost. Weight lifters who are crushed under weights. What about racers who go just a bit to fast? Taking the sport to extremes, same as gaming for 18 hours is extreem.
Golfers who have been killed by their wives for never being around, bowlers and softball players die of cirrhosis of the liver (the drink more than they play!), hunters who are shot by Vice Presidents, and then there's the tiddlywink players who are just killed for being sissies.
All sports can be rough!

I work with programmers based out of India.

In the background of Heavenly Star Fire is a smoke bush. |
Your daylilies are great! My faves are MARIE HOOPER MEMORIAL, ETHEL BUCCOLA and PUMPKIN PRINCE. Love your hosta garden and your planter is gorgeous! Also really like your larkspur. Jason |
Heavenly Starfire looks great planted in front of that purple-leaved bush. I love the planter and the larkspurs! Debra |
Really like Ethel Buccola and Maria Hooper Memorial, your planter and larkspurs are stunning. Linda |
Your planter looks superb. I've never had one look that fancy, but then again, I think I counted 7 different kinds of flowers in there, and I don't think I've ever tried to put that much variety in a single planter. I should try it. Casey |
Marie Hooper Memorial & Web of Intrigue are my favorites. Love larkspur too, although mine don't tend to reseed so attractively as yours. Great planter! |

Actually, there are three shades of calibrachoa. Also, I am embarrassed that the daylily Isle of Zanzibar is mislabeled; the one pictured is Tar and Feather, and the bud count is about 10-12. |
Don't you just love WEB OF INTRIGUE? Here it has over 20 scapes this year so far that are above the foliage with others making their way up. All the pics are great. Thanks for sharing. Julia |

I can only speak for myself. It's not that I hate Pooh, it's that I got tired of him. Sorta like the Disney Princess right now. (This is never going to wane in popularity is it? ) There was a time in the 1990s that Pooh and friends exploded all over the Disney empire. It was everywhere, to the point I think Mickey was placing second in popularity....especially in merchandise. I think that is why some people are a tad on the anti-Pooh side. Pooh by himself is a cute and fun character, but he starts to loose his appeal when it's shoved in your face constantly at the expense of other characters.
Plus the Mr. Toad and 20K things are very understandable. Those two attractions had a following, and to see them them both replaced by the same characters is disheartening. I like variety and if you must replace 20K, why another Pooh attraction?!?!
I prefer Tigger and Eeyore out of the 100 Acre Wood characters. And I have clothing with those two, so I can't really hate them.

Nuoc Cham Recipes
Vietnamese Tofu Stuffed Betel Leaves
Tàu hũ cuốn lá lốt (betel leaf wrapped tofu in Vietnamese) is very similar looking to Greek dolmades. Instead of using grape leaves though, betel leaves serve as the packaging and delivery device for pan-fried tofu and vegetables. Betel leaves have a peppery taste, and when cooked they have the appearance, but not the texture of nori. The tofu mixture is similar to the filling I use for my vegetarian egg rolls.
The traditional way to prepare this dish is with extra lean ground beef (see tips), called thịt bò nướng lá lốt. However, Aunt Elise, who is a vegetarian, is visiting from Vietnam and taught me how to make the meatless version of the dish. Either way, it's an exotic and authentic taste of Vietnam.

Vietnamese Sweet Potato and Shrimp Tempura
In Vietnam, there's a sweet potato and shrimp dish, khoai lan chiên tôm, that is served on many street corners. Three match-sticks of sweet potato are dipped in a tempura batter and then a whole shrimp is adhered to them. A little more tempura batter is drizzled on the sweet potato / shrimp combination and then the whole thing is deep fried.
This dish may not at first glance be considered Thanksgiving-friendly, but I think it's an excellent option. Tradition may have become synonymous with Thanksgiving, but the very first Thanksgiving was really a celebration of a fusion of cultures through food. So if you're searching for an alternative to the traditional Thanksgiving preparations of sweet potatoes, perhaps it's time to look east. To the Far East, that is.

Deep Fried Black Pepper and Sesame Soy Gluten with Choy Sum
Soy gluten is made from the combination of wheat gluten and soy bean gluten. Contrary to tofu, it has a chewy texture. When deep fried, its volume expands, creating a crispy exterior. The gluten shrinks when dipped in the black bean sauce creating a meaty texture. I used the same method as my sunken tofu so that the soy gluten absorbs all the flavor of the sauce.
What I love about this recipe is that it is probably the only dish that Lulu and I get to enjoy eating together and feeding each other. The soy gluten has a similar texture to meat, but with a very different taste. So if you're a carnivore like me, you'll enjoy this dish as much as I do.
To be honest with you, I'm not a big fan of vegetarian food. I have been cooking a lot of veggie dishes since I got married, but I don't really enjoy them without adding some meat. I keep complaining to Lulu how much I would love to be able to share a meal together. I've tried to convert my husband into a meat eater for almost 5 years, but I've been wildly unsuccessful. So in a way, one could say that this is my recipe for a happy marriage.

Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Vegetarian Mock Fish Sauce)
If you like seasoning your Asian dishes such as bánh xèo and bì cuốn chay (fresh spring rolls) with the typical Vietnamese condiment called nước mắm but find it too strong to your taste or simply if you're a vegetarian, this recipe is for you. The vegetarian equivalent is called nước chấm.
I use lemon-flavored soy sauce as a main ingredient but there is a new product called nước mắm chay available in Asian stores. It gets a "sea" flavor from the addition of seaweed to the product.
It is also a nice addition to Asian soups like my sweet and sour pineapple soup. Just serve it on the side and let your guests add as much (or as little) as they like. In Vietnam, this sauce, or its fish-based equivalent, is as common on the dinner table as a salt shaker is in the West.

Hello all. First of all I'd like to thank the users of this forum for taking the time to share the details of their creations. My three tier, tree-style brewstand is really an integration of everything I have seen and like from several months of lurking and asking questions. So here it is! Basically it's 2" thinwall square tube steel, welded in the typical way but with caps welded on the ends of all the open tubes. I also rigged up a circular bracket and clamp to hold the propane tank, just as it would be mounted on a barbecue grill. There is a small shelf made of expanded metal which comes in very handy for holding my hydrometer, sparge manifold, pyrex measuring cup for recirculating, hose nozzle, sanitizer and other chemicals etc. Footprint is 26X40; height to top of HLT is about 6'. I found an electronic ignitor for cheap on ebay, and mounted it under the middle shelf. It is connected to a little square pushbutton at the top of the central vertical tube, and this ignites the burners. All the wiring is concealed inside the frame's tubing. Fabbed a bracket to mount 25' CFC directly beneath the MLT shelf with a dedicated water faucet. It is capable of chilling a five gallon batch to room temperature in just a few minutes using very little water. I actually have to throttle it way back or the wort would come out very very cold. CFC has its own dedicated valve (bottom hose bib in picture). Thanks to those who showed me how to make this CFC...it does have the length of copper wire soldered concentrically down its entire length and I think perhaps this plays a part in why it is so effective. Our water is very cold year round so I think this could have been made shorter--15' instead of 25' would still do the job but there is no reason to change it now. Stand also has its own dedicated wash/fill hose and valve which I find very handy (top valve in picture). Easy to rinse things off, fill things up, etc. If I were to do this again, I would use a slightly more expensive quarter-turn ball valve instead of the sillcock valve. Small annoyance. Found a $5 steel hose hanger at Wal-Mart, cut the wall bracket off and welded it to the back side for storage of the fill hose, CFC drain, and supply hose when not in use. Used mega-cheap casters from Harbor Freight, welded on. Burners are connected via flare fittings (had to learn how to do a double flare joint) which both connect to separate needle valves on a tee. A couple HVAC duct reducers are riveted on to serve as wind deflectors for the burners. Spacing 4" to bottom of put. Work perfectly. BK is a 12 gallon light duty SS pot which I found for $30 on CList. Some guy bought it to cook crabs in originally. I added a Bazooka Screen which works okay but I find it difficult to get all the wort out of the pot because of the height of the screen. I think these screens would be fine in a MLT but in a boil kettle they are a pain in the ass. I intend to replace the screen with a false bottom in the future, or just install an unscreened siphon and use a big hop bag. HLT is an 8 gallon aluminum pot that was part of a used turkey cooker that I also scored off C-List. Along with the turkey cooker kit came the propane tank (full!), regulator/hose and one of the burners. Added a weldless bulkhead fitting and a sightglass that I made out of a short piece of polycarbonate tubing. After this picture was taken, I also added a bulkhead thermometer. At flame-out, I do have to move the BK up to the middle shelf to use the CFC, but it is an easy lift and the simplicity/economy of a gravity setup makes it well worth it. If I was doing larger than 5 gallon batches, I would use a pump but then that defeats the purpose of a "tree" design where gravity works for you. Sparge ring is removable, bent to fit snugly into one of the cooler handles and to be out of the way when not in use. I like that it is easy to quickly hose off and put away when done being used. I get a very gentle sprinkle from the 24 holes drilled in its bottom. Love the ring and its simplicity. Update 12/09: I have used this thing now for about two dozen batches. My likes: 1. small footprint. Fully self contained. No hauling stuff out to get set up. Just roll out of the corner, uncoil/hook up the garden hose, run CFC drain hose out to the driveway, turn on gas, hit ignitor and go. Setup takes one minute. Cleanup takes two minutes. 2. onboard wash/fill hose. Could not live without it. 3. Super easy cleanup. No pumps, hoses, fittings, connectors etc. Just push-on barbed tubing that can be tossed in the sanitizer bucket. Rinsing BK and MLT is simple, just pull off tube, dump in trash, spray out on lawn, put back. No tools and no monkeying around with fancy-pants fittings. 4. Plenty of power for heating up HLT/BK. 5. Large, wide BK makes boil-overs a thing of the past. 6. Storage shelf. 7. Fly sparging is bonehead-easy, can be done mostly unattended. 8. Huge diameter, 24" long SS braid in the MLT works wonderfully. What is a stuck mash? Cannot imagine it with this setup. Very good extraction. 9. Head deflector/wind shields allow for use of very little gas to maintain a boil. Cheap too. Dislikes: No automation. Mash temp control requires experimentation and experience using the rig. Cannot raise mash temp, but easy to lower it using a quick blast of cold water so I usually shoot a few degrees high, wait 5 min to see where it looks like it is going to stabilize, and then dropping the temp a bit with cold water if necessary. Also requires preheating the MLT which to me seems like a waste of propane. I used a couple gate valves on the water supply to save money. They suck. Ball valves are better. Maybe I will change them someday.
Very nice! I like that you opted for needle valves...that's what I've got on my HLT burner, and it really helps dial the flame in just right to maintain a temperature. The shelf and hose-hanger are nice touches as well. Personally, I'd add a March pump and eliminate the "lifting the scalding hot BK" step. My back is so much happier with me since I got a pump! Beautiful work!
Looks great. You've made me re-evaluate the idea of this style of three tiered stand. I had been set on a one level stand in the past, but given my space constraints I don't know where I'd store it. But something like this is much more feasible. I like it. Can you tell me how big the foot print of the stand is? Brian
ahhh! Volkswagen! Nice setup too.
ha, that is a sweet looking bus. and stellar 3 tier, color me jealous, nice work!

Nice work! The only part that scares me is your use of copper water pipes for your gas run. I would've used black pipe, but that's me.
Ruh-roh! Why? It hits maybe 20 PSI and is leak tested. Domestic water is 50-80 psi. There is no copper upstream of the shutoff. What is the risk? Is there some chemical interaction between copper and propane that I didn't know about? Thanks!

Nearly half a century ago, a group of 80 golf lovers decided to transform a farm into a course where the salty breezes off of St. Mary's Bay would blow in and grassy fairways would flourish. Their vision was realized in the founding of Clare Golf & Country Club, whose original front nine were joined by a back nine in the '80s, filling out a championship 18-hole layout. The course embraces beginners, but still challenges golfers who have earned their black belts in putting, inviting all players to exercise their long game at three par 5s while avoiding the stream wending its way among the fairways. After hiring a math-bowl champ to tally up their scorecards, players can unwind on the wraparound porch of the newly built clubhouse that replaced the course's original farmhouse, refuel at the restaurant and bar, or drop by the pro shop for a new set of golf balls.
Course at a Glance:
With picturesque views of the Annapolis Basin, Annapolis Royal Golf Club and Restaurant's course is sure to provide a memorable round. Tree-lined fairways bend to create tricky approach shots, and water hazards require strategic ball placement on several holes. After their round, players can head to the 19th Hole restaurant for homestyle English cuisine.

Okay. Have a few extract brews under my belt, and one previous partial mash. Upgraded a few things ( got a bigger BK and wort chiller ), so I can now do a full boil. Working on building a cooler MLT, so moving to all grain soon, but for now, still wanting to change only a few things each time, so this is still a partial mash. ( I also want to actually calculate my brewhouse efficiency, which I haven't done yet ). It's based on an Oatmeal Stout PM recipe here, but modified a bit to fit ingredients that I have, plus some I know that my LHBS carries. Looking for feedback on whether I'm setting up any bad grain combos, with too much of the darker grain, not enough base malt, etc. BeerTools shows it to be inside the BJCP guidelines, but there's obviously lots of other X factors that a program can't tell me and I don't have enough experience on my own yet. Here's the recipe: 2 lb Two Row Pale 1 lb Oat Flakes 1 lb Crystal 60 1 lb Dark Chocolate Malt 0.6 lb Roasted Barley 30 min @ 154, then dunk sparged Mixed with 3.0 lb of Muntons Light DME Add water to make 6.25 gallons to start the boil 1.5 oz East Kent Goldings 60 min 0.5 oz East Kent Goldings 15 min Wyeast Irish Ale XL (1084) Primary @ 63F for 2-3 weeks, the bottle condition for as long as I can hold off. BeerTools comes up with: OG - 1.054 FG - 1.013 Color - 31.5 SRM ABV - 5.3% IBU - 32.5 Realize it's nothing terribly outrageous, just looking for any insight like "way too much roasted barley" or suggestions on other grain to add/replace in the recipe. Cheers! -Chris
I think you've got too much crystal and dark chocolate malt personally, I'd go for around half a pound instead of a full pound. I've never used -dark- chocolate malt before, but the grain bill for my oatmeal stout is similar with the changes I've mentioned. I also enjoy a touch of black patent, in my case 2 oz., but some would disagree with me on that. East Kent Goldings is good, but so is Williamette in my opinion. Just something to consider and raise more questions Good luck, whatever you end up doing!
I don't mind the amount of crystal so much as I mind the amount of chocolate malt. I think 1/2 pound (8oz) would be enough to get the flavor and color. I also would agree with the black patent - or black barley (same thing pretty much I think). I'd also agree with the Williamette. I've only tried a couple different types of hops, but Willy has been my favorite with the stouts and porters.
Okay, some good insight and suggestions. Going to change the hops to Wilamette, and reducing the Dark Chocolate Malt, and increased the mash duration ( and temp slightly ). Here's the current iteration: 2 lb Two Row Pale 1 lb Oat Flakes 0.5 lb Barley Flakes 1 lb Crystal 60 0.5 lb Chocolate Malt 0.5 lb Roasted Barley Mash: 60 min @ 156F Add to BK and mixed with 3.0 lb of Muntons Light DME Add water to make 6.25 gallons to start the boil ( boil off ~1 gallon ) 2.0 oz Willamette 60 min Wyeast Irish Ale XL (1084) Primary @ 63F for 3 weeks, then bottle. BeerTools comes up with: OG - 1.052-1.055 (depending on efficiency of mash) FG - 1.013 Color - 25 SRM ABV - 5.1-5.3% IBU - 37 Color is on the low end, but still in BJCP range. Any suggestions on how to get the color a little darker? Trying to avoid too much leftover grain. I don't have a mill at home, so I have to mill at the LHBS, and buy in 1 lb quantities. -C
personally, I liked the original recipe better, and it was easier for you. who makes the dark chocolate, ive yet to see it?
Dark Chocolate was a typo in the original, sorry. They're both about the same difficulty, I'm more concerned with not ending up with an overly astringent brew due to using too much of the dark malts. My LHBS has Belgian Chocolate, UK Chocolate(Pauls), American Chocolate(Briess), Pale Chocolate(TF&S). Hmm, the UK Chocolate is 450L, while the American Chocolate is 350L. I could also sub Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter for the 2 Row Pale. Ack! Should stop second guessing myself, and just brew it and see.
i meant easier in the sense you wouldnt have as much excess grain. the astringency aspect depends on your water chemistry.

Welcome to the Tower Fans page, so quiet and effective are the tower fans that they are fast becoming the most popular electrical fans in the UK.
They also have a modern design too and so fit into any modern home easily. They are usually silver, charcoal or black and are also thin, the height varies and so you can buy a large or a small tower fan.
The tower fans have some great features. The fan is enclosed and so they are allot quieter than the standard electric fans and many also have a breeze mode which is even quieter. This is ideal for night time use as the quietness is less likely to wake you and the cool breeze will make for a much more comfortable nights sleep.
The tower fans can also often oscillate and have several power settings which means you can create the cooling effect that is just right for your current conditions. They also often even have a remote control and so you can operate the tower fan from afar and this can be very nice on a hot summers day. To add even more convenience they also often have a timer so that you can set the tower fan to come on or turn off at any time you choose; this can be very convenient as you can set the fan to turn off when you are asleep or turn on in the morning or when you come home.

I divorced my husband 12 years ago. We had 2 sons. Both were grown & married. For whatever reason, they decided not to be in my life anymore. I remarried 1 yr after the divorce & feel that that is part of the reason. My youngest son suddenly died on Jan 3 of this year & I had to find out about it on the internet. No one ever contacted me to let me know that he was sick & that he had died. I am having a difficult time getting past the fact that the first time I was allowed to see him in 12 years was in his coffin. It was cruel & uncalled for. I don,t seem to be able to get past it. Can someone help me? Pam |

My heart aches for you. |
That is a tough thing to deal with. I am so sorry for your loss. It is very early days, though, I think it would be helpful for you to talk to a grief counsellor about your feelings. At this point you really need sympathy and daily strength. I hope you have somebody to take care of you. |
It's too hard a situation to cope with by yourself. I hope you can see a professional for help, I know I'm going to have to do that. I'm very sorry that you couldn't see your son before, no mom should go through that. It is too cruel indeed, if you can share your feelings with someone, don't be alone with this and take care of yourself. |

Worst foundation Bourjois have ever made. I love both their healthy mix formulations. Unfortunately this one doesn't even come close. Give it a miss.
Don't waste your money. Worst foundation I have ever encountered! It's dry, flakey, highlights dry patches, rubbish coverage, smells bad, and impossible to rub in. Every time I've tried to wear this foundation I've ended up wiping it off and putting on something different - literally cannot leave the house in it! Ps. Don't let this put you off bourjois foundations altogether - the healthy mix serum is fab and others are generally above average in terms of highstreet makeup :)
I actually really like this foundation. It gives good coverage, conceals any redness (and of that I have plenty :D ), color (I'm 52) is good (not orange, not too pink), matte finish (although after +-3 hours I have to powder my nose but my noise is very very oily) The only thing that I don't like is that it dryes like crazy. I apply this foundation with real techniques buffing brush, which I absolutely love, and have to work really quickly to blend everything. I think that this is a good foundation for more oily skin, if you have dry skin (or dry patches in winter) don't even think about this foundation :)

I've tried everything to make this product usable. And well...it can be done to some extent but to be quite honest - the effort is not worth the result. I found that the only possible way to apply it was to mix it with a highly moisturizing cream (plus a pre-moisturized face). But even then the finish looks very uneven and doesn't cover all that well (creases, smudges off, looks flaky...). This was my first Bourjois' foundation purchase and it almost put me off from their other products as well.
My skin is very fair (and oily) and the lightest shade of this foundation was slightly too dark for me (although the difference is not that noticeable).
The good thing is that I didn't notice any breakouts whilst using it...
I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately all I can say is that I wouldn't purchase it again.
I'm kind of confused when deciding getting this product. But the 98% organic ingredients just make me buy this.
I first apply this foundation on with ELF Studio Powder Brush after doing a research how to apply it most effectively. It become evenly perfect.
I have tried so many other foundation: Revlon mineral mousse, L'oreal... but they are all not so suitable with my place's weather which is super humid and hot night and day. They all turn greyish or melt out on my face then become such a mess!
but this foundation is absolutely amazing, it stays on my face for 5 hours without any greasiness. After coming home, I remove the makeup and my face is just brighter and don't have any break-out which is super cool for me.
So sad I heard they discontinued the product. If only I can get another one with longer exp date.
**UPDATE** So, I love this foundation. The only thing that has bothered me just a little is the smell, because it's kind of strong. Otherwise, this has been the least reactive foundation on my skin... ever. It doesn't contribute to my breakouts and that is a downright miracle. I'm being serious... my acne is terrible and this stuff has been playing nice with it. HG? I think so. Only problem is that I think it is being phased out :(
Redoing my review - I have since figured it out. I'm sad that it got discontinued because all it takes is a damp face and some patience for this to work. How I use it:
Wash my face, pat a little of the excess water off but don't let it dry completely.
Apply with fingers, big swaths moving in mostly one direction.
Let dry - it WILL look streaky.
Once it is nearly completely dry (maybe after about a minute or two) massage and blend gently with fingertips. It will not roll, ball up, or mush off of your face like it would normally.
Ta-da! Finish should be nice. Maybe not as smooth as a silicone makeup, but just about. Finish is great, color is great, coverage is amazing. Lasting power is impressive, but my only gripe is that it will wipe off quite easy.
Man, why can't they keep selling this? After 15 years of searching for an HG, and I have found it, only for it to be cancelled. It is the absolute best foundation I have ever used.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I know this is a much-maligned foundation, having read the many negative reviews well before I purchased it. However, I tend to prefer natural products and I liked that this one was both organic as well as reasonably affordable. It took some searching (I live in India, where we have Bourjois but the shade & product range is not always complete!) but when I spotted a single bottle in my shade I snatched it up immediately.
I can see how the thickness of this foundation would turn people off. Before trying it on my face, I rubbed a swatch on my hand and went 'uh oh...' because it was very thick and didn't blend very well. However, I was determined to make it work. The pigmentation of this product makes it a good one to mix with moisturizers to make something akin to a tinted moisturizer. I use Josie Maran's Daily Argan Moisturizer with SPF 50, and I'm finding that 2-3 pumps of that mixed with 1/2 to 1 pump of BioDetox in my palm is the perfect pair, making this foundation much easier to apply. It does take a bit of extra work to blend it into the skin. Because the Josie Maran moisturizer is a physical sunblock, I was already used to taking a minute to massage it in so all the product absorbs. I find that with the BioDetox mixed in, I just need to take a minute or two to massage it onto different sections of my face (first cheeks, then T-zone and forehead) and the finish comes out really nice. It seems at first like the foundation isn't going to absorb, but after a minute it sinks in and leave my skin looked toned, even and fresh. No obvious foundation, no streaks or cakiness like others have been complaining about.
I let the foundation set for a few minutes while I do the rest of my makeup and then I finish with a light dusting of MAC blot powder on all the areas I need it. Applying it this way, I've actually been really impressed with the lasting power of this foundation. I use Healthy Mix as well and I find that BioDetox seems to be holding up better in the shine control department, and actually does a great job of keeping my blush in place. It can emphasize dry spots and flakes a bit if you have them, but well-moisturized skin or good-day skin should enjoy this.
The coverage using this method is light to medium, and if you have any spots or hyperpigmentation you'll probably need to use a concealer as this foundation isn't the greatest for building coverage. But if you like natural products and are willing to give this one a bit of extra work, I think it's well worth it. Maybe the Josie Maran moisturizer is just a particularly good match for blending it with - but I'd imagine any thin-consistency facial SPF or moisturizer, perhaps with a bit of oil in it, should work. I hope this helps encourage more people to try it!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Oh how I loathe this. It has the closest match to my skin tone (shade Vanille Clair) But my god, it's the messiest foundation I've ever used! It's terribly streaky and dries almost instantly on your face, so if you try to blend it, it will ball up in your fingers and go patchy. I've tried mixing it with some moisturizer and water, both give the same result. Streaky patchy mess! Going to be trying healthy mix in the same shade instead. Do yourself a favor, give this foundation a miss!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this product because I read some good reviews about it. But when I used, I feel so disapointed. I blend it with my finger or sponge, my face look very terrible. Caked and un-naturally as you're wearing a mask. However, when I used a moisture sponge, it's better. My face look no caked, but the coverage is bad. So, I can say:
- Oil- control : ok if you use with oil-control powder, rate 3/5
- organic extract
- Caked
- The coverage is bad
- Non-waterproof
- Packaging : letters in bottle is faded easily.
- The price : I bought it for 20$. Too expensive for a bad product.
I read all kinds of reviews. I think the foundation can be OK, just depends which skin type you have and how you apply the foundation.
For me it's a terrible foundation.
I have very dry skin (with occasionaly dry patches on my cheeks) but a quite oily forehead. At first I thought the foundation was a bit old, after all I bought it when it was on sale for just 5 euro's (and it was the last one!). It's very cakey, thick and on my skin it just gives me a mask effect.
I noticed it probably would work better with a good moisterizer, I also tried to apply it thinly with a sponge (hoping it would get on nicer, but it probably is best when you apply it with your fingers).
But after trying it for just 2/3 times (and actually washing it off) I probably am not going to try this one again!
I have kept it (I'm a make-up artist) and I might try it on a model with very oily and clear skin.

This is the number one game to play. I can play this for hours and never get bord with it. This is a must play game for everyone young and old. My family plays a ton of games because its what we do together. We have found no other game to even come close to how much fun this game is. This is, hands down, waaay funner then phase ten or any board/card game that we have come across. It is a must for every family.

I was intradused to this game by a friend. me and my husband and her and her husband would spend almost every weekend together playing. its one of the best card games i have ever played. it brought two familys together in a time where we both needed it and wenow have a strong lasting friendship. even though she lives across the country. We still laugh about the memerorys we shared

Most enjoyable LDS Card game ever!
by Ray - reviewed on January 04, 2010
My family played this game while on an airplane and were having so much fun that the passengers next to us and even 1 of the stewardesses wanted to know where they could get their hands on a deck. (A great missionary tool). We even made up an additional card (Gadianton robber card) which can steal a charity card from another player if they have one, but if you ask and they don't have one then the robber has to give that player one of his if he has one. Just a little extra twist which added some extra fun.
Excellent Family Game!
by Alayn - reviewed on July 15, 2010
We have owned and replaced this game several times because our family uses it so often and wears out the cards. All our kids from 5 and up join in the fun, and it is a favorite family night activity. Every LDS home should have this game!
Disappointing Card Quality
by Aleksey - reviewed on April 04, 2011
The game is A+ But the cards are kind of thin and look like they are going to wear out pretty soon especially on the corners. The design is very nice. The cards come in a tin box.The backs of the cards have a nice looking logo, which comes from Mayan culture.

Any suggestion as to why? I'm using FrontPage 2000. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Ray_Scheel (My Page) on Wed, Jan 8, 03 at 14:59
Have you uploaded a current copy the stylesheet itself, and is the link to it possibly using a local path instead of a relative path? To invoke a stylesheet called "mainstyle.css" sitting in the root folder of a website, the call to the stylesheet within the header should resemble the following (enclose in angle brackets): link rel="stylesheet" href="mainstyle.css" type="text/css If you are trying to invoke the stylesheet form a subdirectory, put a "../" in front of the name of the stylesheet for each directory down you go. Ther are many, many, bad coding practices that look like they work within FrontPage (or are even done *by* FrontPage) that do not work (well) when placed on a properly functioning webserver. |
I'll check this out - I used the "link styles" command to put in the link to the style sheet and FP may have messed something up (or I might have). |

However, the most important performers are invited from the audience.
The evening will begin with green hors d'oeuvres and drinks and a clown red-carpet preparty featuring the Om-FLY Circus Troupe, followed by Kevin O'Keefe's circus performance.

College of Law › About the College of Law › News, Events, and Multimedia › News › Energy Law Program at TU College of Law Expanding as part of NEPI
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
The University of Tulsa College of Law has officially gained a new ally in its effort to establish one of the nation's premiere energy law programs: the National Energy Policy Institute.
The George Kaiser Family foundation and TU formalized a partnership to create NEPI on March 10, 2009. The institute will develop recommendation for a national energy policy that reduces dependence upon imported oil and the emissions of greenhouse gases. Additionally, NEPI seeks to position Tulsa as a research center of new energy technologies and policy options to stimulate the formation of companies in Oklahoma and elsewhere to provide high-quality employment and opportunities. This provides a substantial opportunity for our students to participate in cutting-edge research and analysis, as well as position themselves for challenging professional opportunities after graduation.
"There is a transition taking place in the energy industry to account for renewable energy policy," Levit said. "The work NEPI is doing will help determine the direction of that change. Involving our students in the legal aspects of that work will be beneficial to the law school, NEPI, and society at large."
Since 1976, the TU College of Law has collected its resources for the study of energy law under the National Energy Law and Policy Institute. Its mission will be expanded and the program will be rebranded as the Sustainable Energy & Resources Law Program. The rebranded program will maintain all of its current resources, including a partnership with the Federal Energy Bar Association, the Chesapeake Energy Scholars Program focusing on oil and natural gas, and publication of the Energy Law Journal and the Year in Review. It also will add a full-time senior-level faculty member specializing in energy law along with expansive resources of NEPI.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for our students to take an active role shaping the future of the energy industry," Levit said.

We often associate age equality as only relevant to older people over the age of 65. The employment equality (age) regulations 2006 clearly state the importance of acknowledging that age discrimination can be an issue for any age group.
Stereotypes and stigma around age often focus on two specific age groups, younger people (under 18) and older people (over 65).
The effects of stereotypes are very real in society with particular age groups feeling marginalised and excluded. Often we do this without even realising it.
Within Health & Social care settings for many years particular age groups have been passed over for treatment simply because of their age. The NHS continuing care framework goes some way to ensuring a fairer service for all. This can only fully be ensured by services taking these issues seriously and not treating people unfairly because of their age.
What is the Trust doing?
Employment Example the Trust has very rigorous processes in place for protecting staff from discrimination and unfair treatment in the workplace. The Equality Regulations 2006 for Age give clear instruction to Trusts on new processes for recruitment, training and retirement. The biggest change for staff retiring has been allowing all staff to request to stay on in work past their retirement age.
In addition the Trust is continually developing apprenticeship schemes to encourage more younger people (aged under 25) into employment with the Trust.
Service Provision Example The Trust provides a number of services targeted to specific age groups:
Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) 12-18 years
- Specialist Mental Health Services for Older People 65+ years
The Trust also has in place positive policies to address some of the issues service users may present with during transition from one service to another. Specifically:
- CAMHS to Adult Mental Health
- Adult Mental Health to Mental Health Services for Older People
The Trust also has positive policies in place to ensure that service users using adult services are only referred onto older people's services if the current service cannot meet their needs, or if there is a mutual agreement to do this between the service and service user.
When the Single Equality Bill becomes law in 2010 it will include legal provisions for protecting everyone from age discrimination. (As currently only those in employment and training are protected). This may well require us to look closely at how services are provided and what additional knowledge and skills are needed to offer an age inclusive service to all.

1992 Explorer 4x4 not working
I have a 1992 Ford Explorer and when I push the 4x4 button on the dash the 4x4 doesn't engage. I checked the fuse in the power distribution panel and it looks OK. Any suggestions? Send me an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or reply to this post. thanks!
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,213Isn't there an electrical component right on the transmission on this car? Some type of solenoid, etc? I seem to recall messing with this many years ago on a friend's Explorer. Trace the system further down than the fusebox. If you find such a component, clean the connections to it.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
shilly10 Posts: 3I traced two possible connections. One was near the transmission cable linkage (couldn't get this connection apart - too tight a squeeze) and the other was about a foot forward of that towards the front of the truck. It was on top of a cylindrical part with a thick red wire going into it along with a regular wire connection. I cleaned this connection. I tried but the 4x4 still didn't work. If you happen to find out any more info about this I would appreciate it. Thanks for your help!

Day 1: Arrive in Lima, Peru We know you will be tired from traveling, so your hotel is the nearest possible to the airport.
Day 2: Cusco and Sacred Valley Tour Fly over the Andes to the Inca city of Cusco— 11,000 feet above sea level. We pick you up from the airport and take you to the considerably lower altitudes of The Sacred Valley. On the way, you will visit some of the most specatcular Inca ruins above Cusco, including the fortress of Sacsayhuaman. After time to explore colorful Pisac Market, you have the afternoon free in Ollantaytambo.
Day 3: Machu Picchu by Train Catch the train to Machu Picchu. Arrive with plenty of time to begin exploring the breathtaking Incan city. After your fully guided tour, you have time to explore Machu Picchu on your own - walking to the Inca Bridge, the Sun Gate, more photos or just quiet contemplation. Afternoon train to Cusco. Option! Spend a second day at Machu Picchu to climb up the peak of Huayna Picchu.
Day 4: Cusco to Lima You have the morning free in Cusco to visit the Cathedral or Quoricancha (Sun Temple). Afternoon flight to Lima.
Day 5: Lima to Guayaquil Fly from Lima to Guayaquil, Ecuador for the second part of your trip – the Galapagos Islands!
Days 6—9: Galapagos Islands Cruise After a short flight, you arrive in The Galapagos Islands – brimming with plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. You will be met there and transferred to your ship to begin your next adventure - a 4 day cruise of the Galapagos Islands (can be extended to 5 or 8 days). Choose between larger, more stable vessels of 90-100 passengers and the smaller, more intimate vessels (16-20). Choose the ship that suits your traveling style and the sturdiness of your sea legs! Whatever your choice you will have a comfortable cabin, excellent food throughout and, importantly, naturalist guides who can help you tell your booby from your finch. Itineraries vary depending on your cruise ship, but every day you will have two excursions - boarding a panga (motorized raft) to go ashore and walk with your guide through mangrove, cactus forest and beaches to experience the nature of these amazing islands.
More about the Galapagos Experience
Typical Galapagos Cruise Excursions include:Day 9: Final Day Galapagos, Fly Home After a morning excursion, you return to the airport for your flight to mainland Ecuador (Quito or Guayaquil) and home. All our tours are customized and leave on any day. Please contact us for your own personalized tour program.

Organic food challenge | Alex Jones Show
Approximately 3 week ago I was listening to the
Alex Jones Show on the internet. Thats when my world as I knew it was turned up side down. Alex had a guest on my the name of Mike Adams the Health Ranger and he spoke about poisons in the water, food and baby powder milk. I had heard about this in the past but I was like all the rest of you who just pushed it to the side. I continue to eat the same fast food and also gave the same diet to my 4 kids. So after the interview i started to do some research on a few topics. 1 was water and fluoride. 2 was the term GMO. 3 WAS Melamine.
What I found was shocking and I became very upset. After learning that the FDA is allowing the food supply to be contaminated. I felt like my kids were being killed slowly by the bad food. thats when I decided to start this blog and the Borganic.org I want all to post there tips, comments and recipes. I decided to go organic completely. So this is the third week my family is organic and we love it.
As I learn more about organic food I will post more topics and info.

Hello everyone!
I have been reading this forum and have learned so much and I believe all the suggestions are meant in a helpful way, though some posters can be quite tough:) So, with a deep intake of breath, I ask for comments and suggestions on my plan. Here is a little background on my husband and me. We are empty nesters, and are building our home after recently moving back to Texas after two years and one layoff in NC. We are not big entertainers, and family is pretty scattered so large gatherings will occur infrequently. We are owned by two cats, Maggie and Tiny and they approved this message. Hubby loves cars, hence the large garage with a house attached. This plan was chosen because it would fit on the lot and a bedroom could be chopped off to enlarge the garage. I am pretty happy with most of it, but am afraid I have missed stuff and will beat myself up about it until the cows come home. Enough already!!! Thanks to all who respond.

Sorry, but it's really hard to make any dimensions out... |
I agree that dimensions would be very useful. It's hard to read what the rooms are. What is the one to the right just inside the front door? It looks like you have a totally interior dining room. No natural light, no view at all. This would be a deal-breaker for me. Either do without or figure out something else. It will be an unpleasant room, even at night. The little bump-in in the breakfast area does not serve much purpose. It won't be usable patio area because of the doorway. Why not expand the breakfast area instead? You have to walk all the way through the house, past a bathroom and a bedroom hall, to get to the "public" areas. Could you add a window or two to the right-hand wall of the master bedroom? |

The garage with some living quarters attached doesn't work as a houseplan if you want something aesthetically pleasing and want to have guests find the front door. Have hubby rent space in a commercial garage or a separate garage building elsewhere. Or buy two lots so the garage can go on the other lot. Or a deeper lot that a separate garage can go in the rear. That's the option we chose. Think of the cars as the mother in law that you have to find space for but don't want to make it look like it's her house and she barely lets you live there. |

There are some things I love like the kitchen. But two big problems are the bowling alley corridor from the front of the house to the back. Also this garage...while I am sure your husband has to have it NEEDS to be recessed so it will not compete with the house. Currently it feels like a garage that a house was attached to. The whole plan revolves around accommodating it's size. |
Oh, hollysprings you just made my day! I laughed so hard I nearly cried, when I read your post because your points are so well stated and so true. I have not even thought about how to get to the front door... Builder and hubby are pushing to get started, and I am just not feeling it. Thanks for your insightful response. |
Sorry for the awful image. I am working on getting the pdf from my husband and will repost.. Apologies to all. tulip |
What are your lot's dimensions? Actually, what is are the buildable dimensions once you remove required setbacks? Might it be possible to build that humongous garage as separate building set in back of and off to one side of the house? If your lot size and the neighborhood association rules allow it, maybe you could do a pole-barn garage out back in place of that overpoweringly huge front load garage. In Texas, pole barns are very common and they're cheap to build. They go up quick and easy too so that you could build the pole barn first and then use it as a lockable staging area for your building materials while you build the house. Once you remove that garage from the front of your house, you'll have so many more options for designing a gracious beautiful HOME instead of a "garage-with-house-attached." I just know that there HAS to be a better solution to your building needs than this design. |
I agree pp comments. I'm not sure where you are located, but is a basement possible? can you move some of the garage spots to a lower level? Why are you building a ranch? can you move the secondary bedrooms upstairs? maybe put in an elevator. That would take solve some of the bowling alley foyer problem. Agree about the dining room. Just make the breakfast room bigger. Is there no possibility of a detached garage? |

I quite like the large entry. It looks wide enough to have a couple of pieces of furniture in there, ie.. narrow hall tables. You may be able to have some paintings on the walls...quite a lot of doors so not a huge amount of wall space. But all in all I don't see it as being a problem. Same with the dining room. I am presuming it is a formal dining so only or mostly used at night. My brother has one similar, makes a nice cosy intimate room, good for conversation over dinner. The garage does dominate the house, but if you have need of a large garage it is going to, unless you have the room and money to hide it down the back with a smaller one attached to the house. All in all I think the plan is workable. |

What is the area of this plan? It looks rather oversized for 2 people in the "empty nester" phase of life... |
- Posted by zone4newby (My Page) on Sun, Oct 21, 12 at 19:55
I agree with virgilcarter. 4 bedrooms seems like a lot for the lifestyle you describe. Maybe if you looked at floor plans with fewer bedrooms, you could find a way to move the garage back? FWIW, I think this floorplan seems pretty workable. The long walk past bedrooms isn't ideal, but they are guest rooms, so I think it makes some sense to have them near the entry. If your husband works on his cars, and doesn't just collect them, I'd recommend making sure there's a laundry sink in the utility room so he doesn't have to wash up in the kitchen. Have you considered a 2 story plan? If the house were taller, that might make it visually stronger than the garage. |
He does work on the cars, and we always park our daily drivers in it as well. We thought about a two story, but were tired of the stairs in our previous home. The livable space is about 3500, and the minimum to build in our area is 3000. My husband will have a sink in the garage as well as a lift. The area we are building in has steadily increased in value and with strong sales even during the downturn, so we are probably building more than we need, but it will be more desirable to a family should we have to sell again in two years. Thanks for the responses. I tried to upload a pdf file to make the writing clearer, but was unable to. |

To have a usable lift, you need 15-18 foot ceilings for the garage. You can't do that in an ordinary residential garage with 8' ceiling. I really think you need to drop back and assess what you're doing here because you are at cross purposes. If you do want a lift, I'd strongly suggest doing the two story house so that the taller garage and entire structure could fit your needs better and better integrate into the neighborhood. Right now, if you have to have architectural approval from any HOA, I doubt that it will pass. They are also likely to get pissy about a "commercial style" garage, even if your hubby never opens the door at all while he's working on something. Ask me how I know about that one! |
- Posted by virgilcarter (My Page) on Tue, Oct 23, 12 at 21:03
I'm sorry, but this plan appear to be a huge bulky mass, very rectangular and the only way to cover with a roof is a very large roof shape. The left exterior wall is extremely long and unbroken, the entry corridor is very long; there doesn't appear to be a convenient half-bath for guests; the garage is unbelivably huge and complicated to structure. If this design fits your needs and budget that's wonderful. Clearly, you are a two-some with special aspirations. I hope you have a weekly cleaning service, otherwise it may prove difficult to maintain such a house. Good luck with your projet! |
