The Stranger: 30th Anniversary Edition (Columbia Legacy)
Although The Stranger became one of the best-selling LPs ever after its 1977 release, a year later Billy Joel found himself on the wrong side of the cultural chasm with the rise of punk. Associated with the chardonnay on the rocks side of rock music, Joel became terminally unhip in some circles, even as he continued . . .

Exploration has begun on a promising campus development idea: an Integrated Riverfront Environmental Center. While many questions remain, this exciting idea would allow us to truly connect our University to the river, and all its meaning for learning, recreation and Bucknell's distinctive campus offerings.
Already, faculty and students in numerous disciplines are capitalizing on our river proximity to create and explore a trove of educational and research possibilities. From their successful efforts to have the river formally designated a part of America's historic water heritage, to scholarship that has helped struggling riverfront communities, to the recreational pleasures of kayaking and fishing, our campus community knows the river practically as part of our campus itself. But we have barely begun to make the most of this potential.
We own approximately 900 feet of property along the Susquehanna River. Most of this space is currently occupied by maintenance facilities. Imagine how this space could be transformed into a resource for students, faculty and community members.

It all started with a little black dress, when Jennifer Higgins was shopping for a friend's wedding and left deodorant streaks across the front of the dress. The shopping trip sparked a discussion with her mother, Terry Goodwin, about other fashion and beauty blunders—and before long, they were joining forces to launch the Miss Oops brand. The stylish, tote-friendly selection ranges from stain-removal sponges and cleavage-hiding accessories to fashion tape and color-saving hairspray, just to name a few.

There's a family reunion coming up and I want to take my 85 year old mother. She weighs 265lbs. and I don't know how I'm going to get her into my Ford Escape. She can't pick her legs up more than about 12". I have no running boards and don't know anyone with a small car. The guys in the family tried to pick her up one day to lift her but she said it hurt and she was upset so they quit. I've tried several foot stools and small step ladders but she's afraid to fall. Is there some kind of medical equipment I can rent to help us? Thanks for your time and have a nice day. |

I think if you got a walker you could put it around the stairs and she would be comfortable climbing up the step stool. Especially if you have a big guy on each side. She might have trouble with her balance and that's why she is not comfortable not having something to hold on to. Maybe there is some kind of lift too. Call a pharmacy who sells surgical appliances. You might get some info from nursing homes or hospitals or anyone who deals with the elderly, too if you call and tell them your story. |
Surely this is not the first time this problem has come up. What do you do when she needs to go to the doctor, dentist, etc? Can she get into a car without trouble? If so, use a car. Someone in the family must have a vehicle she can get in and out of without difficulty. Or, if that's not an option, look into getting a hydraulic lift for your truck. If there is a hospital in your town, there is probably a medical supply rental place who can help you with what is available. |
I have a good idea. My sister in law is in the same boat. I used a ramp. It's easy to carry one in the truck and all she had to do was walk up the ramp. A lot easier than a stool. I have a plastic one and it's not to heavy. |
Great ideas ladies! Thanks so very much for your help. I really appreciate your suggestions. I have till Oct. 12th. so that'll give me time to try these and see which one works the best for our needs. Thanks again. |
I have friends in that same boat. See if there is a medical rental place there, they can help you a lot with a decision. Sometimes we don't look at the whole picture, and miss the biggest need of all. Best of luck to you. Darlene |

Hi Ginny, I have four Obsidian for 3 years. They are by far my favorite deep Purple heucheras, and the only one that retained the nice deep purple and shing color among my purple ones throughout the hot and dry summer last year. Mine gets several hours of afternoon sun. They grow fast and retain the neat and compact shape. Hope you will enjoy yours as much as I have with mine. Vivian |
Thanks for that, Vivian. That is good news. The plants are beautiful and I can't wait to plant them. |
My absolute favorite! Some might be showier, but boy, Obsidian is tough! Full sun, hot location, no fading. |
In full-sun, Obsidian flourishes where my other heucheras would protest. Surprisingly, not the deepest black out there, Binoche is darker, but the shape of her leaves is very pretty. |
- Posted by vivian_2010 IL 5a (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 23:52
BTW, I cut off the flower stems as they are the only part I do not like about Obsidian. Just my own opinion. Other than that, Obsidian is perfect. |
- Posted by jmcbackyarddigger z6b So IL (My Page) on Wed, Jul 3, 13 at 8:48
Mine has been in an above-ground planter for about 4-5 years. It has performed very well with little to no care. I love it and would replace it in a minute if it were lost. Haven't experimented with dividing it. I'm pretty content to just leave it alone. [Oh, by the way: It stays outdoors in the planter year-round]. |

Reviewer Tricia Childress of Creative Loafing is rooting for the success of Las Palmas Restaurant. "Why do I want Las Palmas to stick? I could say culinary diversity is essential and we all benefit from this quirky, melting pot, Colombian-Cuban, simple and straightforward concept," she muses. "My palate, though, would say their Cuban sandwich rocks." After purchasing this primarily Colombian eatery, Cuba native George Escobar decided to draw diners in with familiar Colombian steaks and sauces while shaking things up with rich Cuban dishes of pork and plantains. The bilingual staff doles out ceviche and pork frittatas amid faux shutters and decorative cigars in the 45-seat eatery as two overhead TVs showcase soccer matches or broadcast cryptic clues about where to find the legendary gold-stuffed empanada.
Today's Groupon is muddled with tropical taste, splashed with foreign flavors, and garnished with Latin locomotion. For $15, you'll get $35 worth of scrumptious Cuban cuisine at Havana Café, an authentic eatery praised by the Phoenix New Times as the best Latin bistro. Redeem your Groupon at one of three locations.
At Mambo Grill & Tapas, precise preparation is just as essential to the bar's mojitos as it is to the kitchen's slow-cooked pork. The staff rejects premade sour mix in favor of their own tangy formula, and squeezes the lime juice onsite instead of simply shopping for lemonade and dyeing it green. The resulting citrusy sips pair well with the venue's Cuban entrees. From plantains stuffed with picadillo—ground beef, veggies, and potatoes cooked in housemade tomato sauce—to hand-cut beef fillets and pan-seared salmon, these dishes display a mastery of the balance between spice and sauce.
Scooping up a chipful of it or getting your fill on the dance floor, Latin Quarters has more than one kind of salsa. Inside the colorfully painted and decorated interior, the dance floor is frequently home to salsa dancers and toe-tappers, while surrounding tables enjoy authentic Puerto Rican cuisine and colorful cocktails. During dinner, customers start meals with flaky, golden-brown empanadas lined with jerk chicken, spinach and cheese, or a mix of pork and yellow rice. Then, they graduate to entrees of fried pork chops topped with zesty chimichurri, or the Tropical Picken Chicken, which is served with homemade salsa verde and dressed in an edible grass skirt.
Tropical Picken Chicken takes its name from its signature dish: pica pollo, a Dominican poultry specialty of flame-roasted chicken made tender by a tropical citrus marinade. Each dish on the menu sends diners' imaginations on a tour of the Caribbean, with special entrees like authentic Puerto Rican fried chicken, Cuban ropa vieja, spicy jerk chicken, and morsels of ham, cheese, and sauce sandwiched between planks of fried plantains. Guests dine in the open air on the umbrella-covered patio seating or gather amid the interior's checkerboard floor and paintings of tropical islands to enjoy meals of Miami-style pulled-pork sandwiches and stuffed empanada pastries.

Does anyone know anything about the yellow HT called Berolina? It is supposed to be very disease resistant and is fragrant
I tried searching the Gardenweb rose forums but could find nothing about it. However, HMF rates it very highly, and when I tried a google search, I did get an older gardenweb rose forum posting with a lovely picture (see link below). It is available at Palatine Roses and maybe Pickering. I haven't really checked yet if there are other places or not. Sure would like some updated info. on it. Kate |

Sorry about the mis-spelling in the title. BEROLINA is the correct spelling. Kate |
Should I take it that no one knows anything about Berolina? My orginal question seems to be getting ready to slip of page 1 before long. Sure wish I could get more info. before deciding whether or not to order it. Kate |

This is a copy of what I wrote another hybridizer about my Berolina X William Baffin cross. His question: "Why are you pleased with the Berolina x Baffin sdg--aside from its being from a cross of a yellow with some pretty hardy stuff? Is Berolina pretty hardy? Does it repeat well? ----------." My reply: "My Baffin repears well all summer. It is great. Berolina has large yellow flowers, is disease free, and is relatively hardy. I would like a yellow William Baffin. According to my 1998-1999 results it also set a hip with Illusion pollen. C:\Documents and Settings\Henry Kuska\My Documents\My Webs\rosehips98-99.htm |

It's one I'm considering, too. I don't know a thing about her, but she looks nice. I've seen Elina in person, so I may go with her (really pretty), but Berolina looks lovely. |
- Posted by kentucky_rose Z6 KY (My Page) on Tue, Sep 4, 12 at 7:43
If Berlina and Selfridge are the same, maybe people know it as Selfridge. Do ask the people at Palatine about the rose. They are very helpful. |
- Posted by henry_kuska z5 OH (email@example.com) on Tue, Sep 4, 12 at 11:03
"Robert, I forgot to add Selfridges. I have three seedlings of it in my test spots this year. They are all Selfridges x Freedom. Selfridges is very healthy and sets seed easily. However, it is not a super strong yellow which is why I never suggested it. It has nice form, though! It's major flaw, in my opinion, is the lack of good branching habit. It is 8' tall by September. Also, you may look for Aalsmer Gold. It is bred from Selfridges and has apparently been used as a female parent before." H. Kuska comment: The above is from the Rose Hybridizers Link given below. At that link you will have to do 2 searchs, one with each name to see all the comments, but the above is (I think) the main one concerning garden growth. |
Here is a link that might be useful: RHA thread
Thank you, Henry, for tracking down that additional info about Berolina/Selfridge. That is very helpful. How about fragrance? The few googled references I looked at didn't quite agree. One said strong and sweet, for instance, but a couple others just said mild -- which usually means most people can't smell it. Meredith--I have Elina--big, hefty plant, managed to keep on blooming (barely) through our terrible triple-digit summer when other stalwarts finally went dormant (from heat exhaustion!). To me Elina is more a creamy blend with pale lemon yellow centers. She's a great plant--in fact I have 3 of her. Oh, she has terrible thorns. I was looking at Berolina as a more (hopefully) yellow rose, although she fades in the heat, but seems prolific enough that she displays a combination of bright gold/yellow blooms, creamy-yellow blends, and creamy-white--I thought it was a quite attractive combination in the few pictures I could locate. Berlina also looks like it has much longer stems for each rose--gives a much more vertical emphasis to the overall appearance of the plant. But of course all I know is what I've seen in a few pictures, so . . . . I think you would do well with either one, Meredith. Kate |

Kate, I am a retired chemist. My ability to smell was lost many, many years ago. Sorry. |
- Posted by meredith_e 7B Piedmont NC (My Page) on Thu, Sep 6, 12 at 5:56
Well thank you for the Elina info! I really need a yellow there, for this certain spot. I had an old, old HT there but it's not the spot for that, turns out. Oops :) |
if a rose is disease resistant in your zone please dont tell others that it's disease resistant I have this rose and it's its mostly covered in black-spot but the blooms are very nice ps i dont think there is a such a thing as a disease resistant HT |
Thanks anyway, henry. Honor, sorry to hear about your bad experience. What zone do you live in? Are you telling me that you, like me, live in Zone 6 in the midwest and therefore I should be concerned about this rose NOT being disease-resistant in my garden? Personally, I never confuse "disease-resistant" with "disease-free"--which is probably why I don't get as disappointed with a rose as you do. My HTs are fairly good on disease-resistance--not excellent, but fairly good--and rate about the same as any number of modern and old rose shrubs I also have in my garden. If I were bothered by HTs, I just wouldnt' grow them, but I also like HTs--and my Red Intuition and Memoire, for instance, have had maybe three BS spots on them this entire growing season. I don't see why I should consider that a problem. Kate |
hmm yeah i did confuse disease-resistant" with "disease-free" sorry i'm in zone 6B but my rose had BS when i bought it the last one they had left so i didnt really have a choice vigorous grower tho 5-6 ft tall already and strong fragrance good luck with yours |
- Posted by henry_kuska z5 OH (email@example.com) on Thu, Sep 6, 12 at 15:49
HonorRose, I am not sure which rose you are referring to, Elina or Berolina? |
i'm talking about Berolina |
- Posted by henry_kuska z5 OH (email@example.com) on Thu, Sep 6, 12 at 17:29
HonorRose do you remember who you purchased it from? I ask because maybe the rootstock or virused versus non virused has something to do with yours not having blackspot resistance. |
i bought it from LOWES |
want me to post a pic of the plant? |
If you purchased it from Lowes, anything is possible--from very good to bad. However, if you bought it diseased, you would need to do a lot of work to get it back to health--which would probably include a lot of spraying it with a fungicide like Bayer Garden Disease Control for Roses, Flowers, and Shrubs--and it might take all season to get it functioning in a healthy way again. My advice in the future is, if you are going to buy from Lowes, only buy roses that look really healthy and vigorous. That will save you a lot of headaches. Kate |
- Posted by henry_kuska z5 OH (email@example.com) on Thu, Sep 6, 12 at 20:09
Thank you,HonorRose, do you remember who the supplier listed on the tag was. I checked Help-Me-Find and there were very few U.S. suppliers listed. |
here you go bud you cant see much black spot in the picture because i pruned most the infected leaves but u can tell by the skinny stems and i keep getting blind shoots |
- Posted by henry_kuska z5 OH (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Sep 6, 12 at 21:59
Thank you HonorRose. The patent number 4972616 does not make any sense to me. A google search of BKH0015 and of CU2405B with the word rose did not find anything related to Berolina. Can anyone else explain what is happening? |
second picture |
Thanks for the pics, honor. I still predict that after you have it growing well in your garden that you will find most of your BS problems have disappeared. You bought it when it had the "flu," as it were, so it demonstrated "sick" symptoms. A healthy, recovered Berolina should not have those problems. Kate |

[Post revised on 6/19 with update brackets.]
This is going to be very fun to watch.
We've drawn the official bracket for the expert ping-pong tournament at next week's big GeekWire Summer Bash — matching up 32 of the best players in the Seattle region's tech industry for the event next Thursday afternoon, June 21 at the Showbox SODO.
Check out the draw in this PDF or by clicking on the thumbnail image below — and pay particular attention to the four corners, where our top seeds will be trying to overcome some serious challengers in an attempt to make it to the championship match.
The No. 1 seed in the expert bracket is Valeri Kim of Akvelon, who has been known to win a ping-pong tournament or two in the past. And our very own ping-pong wizard, GeekWire's John Cook, has stepped up as the sacrificial lamb to challenge Kim in his first-round match — which should be a spectacle, at least.
We chose the seeds based on past experience, in addition to scouting reports from recent warmup matches. No. 2 seed Minh Le of Silicon Valley Bank has been training hard, and he'll be coming out of the upper left bracket. Greg Gottesman of Madrona Venture Group is the No. 3 seed, and Satish Kumar of Daptiv Solutions is No. 4.
Also see our earlier posts featuring the intermediate ping-pong bracket and the foosball matchups.
If ping pong or foosball aren't your thing, it's still a must-attend event. We'll be hosting plenty of other activities throughout the afternoon, from new games like GeekBall to classics like Beer Pong to the ever-popular Golden Ping Pong ball scavenger hunt.
We'll also be awarding special "Geek Pride" prizes for the attendees who fly their corporate colors in the most creative fashion. (Yes, dressing up to support your teammates will not only be encouraged, but rewarded).
Plenty of prizes and good times are in store, so make sure you get your tickets for the bash today.
For those ping pong players coming out to play next Thursday, here's a guidebook for things you'll need to know. Make sure to read this carefully, and come prepared to strut your stuff in the geek sporting event of the year.
What is the GeekWire Ping Pong Tournament? The biggest, baddest geek ping pong shindig you'll ever see.
Where is it being held? The Showbox Sodo at 1700 1st Avenue South in Seattle, just south of Safeco Field. Here's the map. (And don't worry, there isn't a Mariners or Sounders game that day).
What time should I arrive? Doors will open to players at 3 p.m. All ping pong and foosball players must be checked in by 3:45 p.m. We've got nearly 100 ping pongers competing, so we'll need your cooperation to move through the brackets as quickly as possible.
Where can I park? Though there is no validated parking for this venue, there are various parking lots and street parking (if you are lucky) surrounding the Showbox SODO. We recommend the Safeco Field parking lot as it has 2,000 spaces. It is just south of the ballbark and the entrance is off of Edgar Martinez Drive. Come prepared with your cash/credit card for this prepaid lot.
What should I wear? Comfortable clothes, tennis shoes, and a towel to dry off. And don't forget to fly your corporate colors in an effort to win the coveted "Geek Pride" award.
Are personal paddles permitted? Absolutely. But if you don't have your own bat, we'll be providing some at the door upon check in.
How will matches be scored? Each match will consist of a best of three-game series. Games will be played to 11 points, with players alternating serves after every two points. Games must be won by two points. For those who need a refresher, here are some basic rules of ping pong. Players will get a three-minute warm-up prior to each match.
What happens if I lose my first match? You will be eliminated from the tournament, but as tables open up throughout the evening you'll be able to challenge your friends and co-workers to "friendly" matches in open play. (Doubles, anyone?)
Why are you doing this? We love ping pong and geek culture, and thought it was time someone married the two.
Thanks to sponsors Kobo, Filter, Barokas PR, Gist, Korrio, Tableau Software, Turnstone, Waggener Edstrom, Exsilio Solutions, ThePlatform, Zipwhip, SEOmoz, PayScale, and Christensen O'Connor Johnson & Kindness for making the event possible.

May 26th 2010 12:19PM Oh I agree, Starie.You'll have no argument from me on that perspective. In fact, much of what you say is the reason I left WoW. For a semi-hard core gamer like myself, WoW did stagnate relatively quick.
However, as an industry, despite how gamers like you and I feel, Blizzard and World of Warcraft continue to thrive, attract new subscribers and even bring old subscribers back. Many of the players who leave WoW for the newest fantasy MMO fad eventually come back. I won't even speculate all the different reasons for this, but even I am going back for a couple of months as soon as my buddy sends an invite via Blizzard's Scroll of Resurrection program. Actually, I should say two months or as soon as I kill the Lich King, whichever comes first. Two months of WoW during the summer is all I can take.
On a side note, I'm glad you mentioned LoTRO. From what I hear, Turbine is a fine company and everyone seems to say Lord of The Rings is a very good game. That will be my next fantasy MMO. Azeroth is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to stay there.

• Promotion of even more Aion cash shops.
• More promises.
In the near future all this will end as soon as a more competent company comes out with something that gives us all the things we loved in Aion.

Aion 1.9 lands next month {Massively}
Apr 16th 2010 7:45PM For those few of you, like Alan, who don't get it. Patch 1.9 is the one that may bring back a lot of the players who left because of the issues that will now be fixed. Most everyone who held on, but eventually left (like myself), often posted in the Cursesource and/or legion forum that they would come back after that patch.
While I know a lot of you all have opinions about the patch itself, the one undeniable fact is that the Aion server populations have shrunk greatly over the past months. Patch 1.9 is the one that may keep Aion in business in North America.

The light was bad and I couldn't get close to them because they didn't want me to, but the mass of crows was so great I'd figured I post the pictures anyway.
Fort Nonsense, that is. The remains of this small earthwork Civil War fort have recently been turned into a historical park in Mathews County, Virgina. Here are some pictures of what's left.
My brother sent me this eerie picture of the Norris Bridge across the mouth of the Rappahannock.
We have had very few butterflies this year. According to my local rag (I can't find the story now), the screwy weather has had something to do with it–hard rains alternating with one- or two-week hot spells–but they are starting to appear.
It started life as a 1926 Dodge. It now has a Chevy 350 powerplant, an automatic transmission, a radio/CD player, and no power anything.
This rod was a labor of love.
We had a delightful chat with the owner of the vehicle, who created it over the course of several years, at the Beach Pub (an unparalleled eatery) on Friday. We agreed that kids today are a lost cause and don't know anything about cars.
The owner pursues a sideline of collecting, restoring, and selling knives. If you are interested in collectible knives, email me via the email link on the sidebar and I'll provide his contact information. (He does not have an on-line presence.)
You can grow sunflowers in pots.
It started by accident. My friend put sunflower seeds from the pet shelf in the grocery store in the flower pots as a treat for the cardinals (the ones with wings, not the ones with hats). A couple of weeks later, unfamiliar sprouts started to compete with the petunias and impatiens and portulacas; a guess plus a web search convinced us they were sunflowers, so we transplanted the strongest ones to a great big pot to see what would happen.
Sunflowers happened. The deck will be ablaze with them in a few more days.
They need little care other than frequent watering; they are very thirsty.
I guarantee that we have the only deck in the neighborhood with honking great five-foot tall sunflowers on it.
If you look really closely beneath the daffodils daylilies, you can see the mother duck sitting on her nest.
This is within three feet of the condo's mailboxes under a little tree in the median strip of the parking lot. While we were there, she did not move–the only way to verify that she was alive was to see her blink.
We had another look this morning; she was still there, but facing the other way.
Here's a picture taken today from a different angle.
Residents have left dishes of water and of grass clippings for her. I don't know whether ducks eat grass clippings, but it's really very sweet.

SLOW CLAP for Chelsea Handler, who appeared as a guest on "Piers Morgan Live" last night and tore the obnoxious host a new asshole for being a terrible interviewer (we've noticed…) with an attention problem all while cameras were rolling. It seems that Chelsea wasn't particularly happy with Piers' condescending tone or the fact that during the commercial break he rudely began tweeting from his phone rather than engaging with her. "This is your show," she said when he implied she wasn't interesting him. "You have to pay attention to the guests that you invited on your show. It doesn't matter how interesting I am. You signed up for this job. … Maybe that's why your job is coming to an end." Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Piers! [Refinery 29]

on February 06, 2012 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
Expect more-of-the-same when it comes to the performance of the US economy for the next two years—with slow economic growth and unemployment rates remaining over eight percent.
At the beginning of each year, the Congressional Budget Office releases baseline budget projections for the next 10 years—providing a benchmark for measuring the impact of potential policy changes. According to the latest release of The Budget and Economic Outlook, economic output is expected to remain "below its potential until 2018."
In addition to the baseline, the CBO also considers an 'Alternative Fiscal Scenario' that accounts for the anticipated continuation of certain tax policies that would otherwise expire, as well as other policy assumptions, including (according to the CBO website):

February 2, 2014 Nearly four years ago--in February 2010--President Obama announced that the Department of Energy would make an $8.3 Billion taxpayer loan to Southern Company and its partners for construction of two new nuclear reactors at the Vogtle site in Georgia. That loan still has not been granted. Why? Because the utilities want a sweetheart deal that would put all the risk on the taxpayers. And the White House's Office of Management and Budget has refused to go along. The deadline to complete this loan has been extended numerous times and It's time for the Department of Energy to withdraw this loan offer. Please tell Energy Secretary Moniz to stop this loan now. To make sure Washington hears us, your letter will also go to President Obama, the DOE's loan guarantee office, and your members of Congress. You may get some inspiration from this op-ed published January 21 from veteran energy journalist Kennedy Maize. Why should U.S. taxpayers subsidize electricity rates for ratepayers of a few Georgia municipal utilities? He doesn't get it. Neither do we. Act now.

International Lunar Resources Exploration Concept (1993)
- Tuesday July 2, 2013
The Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) of 1989-1993 was the last serious attempt to jump-start U.S. piloted flight beyond low-Earth orbit, but it was fatally flawed and poorly timed. Some of NASA's best ideas for piloted moon and Mars exploration came along after SEI was already politically dead. Space historian David S. F. Portree discusses one such idea – a plan that took into account new space developments in the early 1990s by involving the Russians and relying on teleoperated robots.

Berkeley Springs, WV, October 7, 2011 – Looking for something different—and inexpensive—to do this holiday weekend? Why not take advantage of the wonderful Indian Summer weather that's been forecast just in time for the Columbus Day holidays, and head on out to Berkeley Springs, West Virginia for the town's 38th Annual Apple Butter Festival? It's fun for the whole family—really.
Activities range from Saturday morning's opening day parade down the town's main drag commencing at 9 a.m. and sponsored by Citizens National Bank. Get there early and enjoy the parade. (Trust this reporter. He's enjoyed a weekend house right in Berkeley Springs since October 2000.)
No, it's not Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but it's small town America at its best. The parade usually features bright red fire trucks from local volunteer fire departments, which kids everywhere tend to enjoy with great gusto. Local high school marching bands also strut their stuff, and there are generally a few surprises as well including car- and tractor-towed floats that, while lacking the spit and polish (and cost) of Rose Bowl extravaganzas, make up for it with whimsy and local color.
After the parade, the festival itself opens, with plenty to do for people of all ages. From face painting and other activities for kids, more adventurous adults and teens can also join in the hog calling contest, the beard-growing contest (you have to have started that one in advance), and even turtle races. There's also plenty of music coming from the town's band shell throughout the festival.
Be sure to come hungry: there's also plenty of food—including on-site barbecue pork and chicken; "butterfly" potatoes (addictive); Italian and Polish sausage sandwiches; and other assorted treats.
And this is above and beyond favorite local restaurants, including the pub and restaurant at the downtown Country Inn; Tari's Café and Inn; the newish Ambrae House; and—honest—one of the best restaurants in the extended metro area, Lot 12 Publick House. All, including the spectacularly sited Panorama at the Peak, which is just a few miles outside of town, will be open during the festivities. (Don't forget to make reservations.)
Find more restaurants and eateries here.
For arts and crafts fans, booths are set up in Berkeley Springs State Park (of which more anon) to peddle a considerable variety of handmade products. The Morgan Arts Council's Ice House art gallery will be open, featuring locally made arts and crafts of extraordinarily high quality.
If your artistic tastes tend more toward the elegant, be sure to visit one of the area's best arts and crafts shops, Mountain Laurel, for a selection of goods that will rival some of the artier shops in DC—except that you won't have to endure those hideous big city markups. It's not for nothing that Berkeley Springs has consistently been honored as one of the top 100 small arts towns in the U.S. Other shops featuring unique local goods will be open as well. Check out this link to discover just some of them. Also here.
If you're looking for bargains, many booths located outside the main booth area in the park will be set up running north from the central town square, featuring anything from knick-knacks to collectibles, to clever toys and household decorations, to plain old flea-market style junque. Total official and unofficial booths will number in the neighborhood of 200, although sadly, in the last couple of years, our current miserable economic times have cut into that total a bit.
Meanwhile, by no means should you forget the town of Berkeley Springs itself, formerly and still known as the Towne of Bath. George Washington really did sleep here. A lot. That was back in the days when this area—like all of West Virginia—was still a part of what eventually became the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Our first president was impressed by the eponymous springs that served to make this town justly famous in those early colonial days, as even then, people came to bathe in the healthful waters of the warm springs that gush from the side of the mountain that hems in Berkeley Springs' tiny downtown. The original spring still flows in the open in the rear of the state park, and next to it is a small open bath area known as "George Washington's Bathtub" although it's not entirely certain that the future president actually took the waters in this precise spot.
The mountain also conceals cold springs as well which still serve as the town's source of water. Bring a jug and take some home for free from the State Park's always-flowing pump.
Legend has it that this land's original owner, Lord Fairfax (sound familiar?) decreed that the healthful waters derived from this source should always be free to residents and visitors in perpetuity. More recently, some historians have debunked this story as a myth, but who really cares. It's a swell tale, myth or no, so like the story of St. Christopher, it's a good one, so why not continue to believe in the spirit of the story anyway?
The warm springs themselves have been one of the main reason people have flocked to this little town over the years, in spite of the fact that it's no longer terribly well known nationally as a spa. The state constructed Berkeley Springs State Park—West Virginia's tiniest—right downtown, and built up unisex and couple's (Roman) baths right onsite. Early structures date back to the colonial era while the park's main bath house—recently modernized and renovated—was actually built back in the 1930s as a WPA New Deal project.
Compared to DC, enjoying the State Park's baths and taking the waters is a spectacular bargain when compared to similar services in DC, or practically anywhere else. An added surprise—you can get inexpensive massage treatments there as well, also bargain priced.
Moreover, massage duties are handled tastefully by masseuses and masseurs who are actually licensed West Virginia State employees—unique in the U.S.—virtually guaranteeing the quality and reasonability of the spa's services. For times, services, and appointments, check out the Berkeley Springs State Park website.
You can go for the higher-priced spread, of course. The Country Inn, right next door to the Park, offers higher-end spa treatments as do several private spas sprinkled throughout the town. (Check out this link for more.) You can also stay the night at the Inn or at a number of local B&Bs.
Many of Berkeley Springs' older buildings are gone now, robbing the town of some of its former quaintness. Historically, fire has been a periodic threat in the town. Businesses and a huge old ramshackle tourist hotel burned down in the center of town in a major mid-1970s conflagration.
And even the century old downtown Morgan County court house burned down in a spectacular fire just a couple of years ago. A magnificent new structure just replaced it at its old downtown location. It opened not too long ago and provided a significant uplift to the downtown area, which had begun to suffer in its absence.
That said, there are still a few of the old buildings left right across from the Park, and adjacent to where two huge copper kettles will be filled to the rim with boiling, bubbling apple butter, made fresh throughout the festival over open fires, starting early in the a.m. and ladled into jars when it's finished in the early afternoon.
And above all the action in the town and at the festival sits Berkeley Springs' most unusual building, Berkeley Castle. Built by a wealthy industrialist around the turn of the last century, it was a gift for his much younger bride—who inherited it right after it was built, at which point her much-older husband suddenly passed away.
As is often the case, the young widow quickly squandered her fortune and lost the Castle, which gradually deteriorated over the years as it went through a number of hands.
Its most recent owner uses it as a private residence, but often donates the use of its public-reception space for local groups and events. It's a remarkable site at night as it sits on its carved out niche high on Warm Springs Ridge, illuminated like some solitary Las Vegas Casino.
Berkeley Springs' 38th Annual Apple Butter Festival will run from the end of the Festival Parade Saturday morning through 5 p.m. that afternoon; and then again Sunday from noon 'til 5. Restaurants will be open for extended hours, but check ahead by visiting or calling ahead via the link we've already provided.
A note to those who, like this writer, enjoy adult beverages on their holidays. Wine tastings will be available from West Virginia wine kiosks located near the Park entrance. And of course, most restaurants offer a fine selection of beers and wines throughout the day. More or less. In an almost quaint peculiarity of West Virginia state law, alcoholic beverages can't be sampled or served on Sunday until after 1 p.m. For those much over 50, that's the way things once were, and it's still comforting to know that at least in one quadrant of the universe, the Lord still gets a bit of private time on Sunday mornings.
The drive to Berkeley Springs from this writer's primary residence in Reston, Virginia, is approximately one hour, forty-five minutes.
Best way for northern Virginia residents to get there is to:
Take the Toll Road/Dulles Greenway (and don't forget your credit card if you don't have an EZPass transponder on your windshield). The Greenway ends at the Virginia Route 7 Bypass in Leesburg, at which point you take the 4-laned highway all the way to Winchester.
Just before you enter the city of Winchester, hand a right onto I-81 North. At the very next exit (U.S. 522 and 11) get off at the ramp and hang a left.
Now it's slightly tricky. When you turn, you're on Rt. 11. Go straight, past a Sheetz to your left and another station (which looks like it's becoming a 7/11) on your right. If you stay on the main drag, it morphs into Virginia 37 South, which is non-intuitive—but it's actually a half-beltway around Winchester, and you'll be less confused if you think about how directions work on the Capital Beltway.
Anyhow, stay on 37 once again until the very next exit, which is U.S. 522, and turn right.
It's a straight shot from there, 4-lanes of sweeping curves and vistas until it drops down to two lanes at the WV border. When you get near town, follow the signs and traffic officers. They'll keep you out of downtown proper and you'll have to find parking in one of the neighborhoods. But not to worry, since you won't have to walk very far.
(Special Great Recession bonus: Going through Winchester either coming or going, make sure your gas tank is pretty close to dry. Hands-down, these are the best gas prices anywhere in the Metropolitan DC area. Fillerup for 10-20 cents less per gallon than in northern Virginia, upwards of 30 cents less than in Maryland, and, if you're lucky, up to 50 cents less than in DC. Don't wait for West Virginia. The state's gas tax is high, getting Berkeley Springs' area prices up to around what you currently pay in northern Virginia closer to DC.)
Getting to WV from closer in: DC and Maryland residents might be better off heading to Berkeley Springs via I-70 North, getting off the interstate in Hancock, MD at the Hancock/Berkeley Springs exit to U.S. 522 South. Once you're off I-70, Berkeley Springs is only about 10 minutes away once you cross the Potomac River. You'll pass by the historic, though rather hideous outcroppings of the U.S. Silica Sand Mine, and very soon, you're there, so slow down when you see the signs. The local constabulary can be a little zealous.

What can I do with Sociology?
People who get a B.A. in Sociology are often employed in the helping professions, in business, and in various public welfare positions, especially those dealing with social programs and their implementation. Only those students who graduate from our M.A. program are employed in jobs with the title "sociologist," since that title requires graduate training.
Career opportunities for students with a degree in sociology include: administration, advertising, banking, counseling (family planning, career, substance abuse, etc.), community planning, health services, journalism, group and recreation work, marketing and market research, sales, teaching, human resources/personnel, social services, and social research.
A sociology minor aids those going into such varied fields as business, counseling, health services, teaching and the social services. People who work in these fields often have to make decisions based on analysis of social trends and phenomena. The minor gives professionals some of the grounding in methodology and technique that they need to do their work.
Here are some web sites that offer information on jobs and careers for sociology majors:

Hi all, we've found this 1890s Victorian for sale at a good price, likely because the elevation seems a little ungainly :) As you can see from the picture, the third story is significantly jettied/cantilevered, which makes the house look top heavy to my modern eye. What do you think - too ugly to buy (even at the good price), not that bad, or attractive in its own way? Also, what style of Victorian would you classify this house as - Queen Anne? Cheers |

Not being sure of the siding type, but that house has Shingle-Style written all over it! I've seen some projecting storeys in plan books, so it isn't that unusual except for being on such a small scale house. If all else suits you--I'd buy it. I hope you luck and hope for future pictures of the inside! |

As long as there are no structural problems from the overhang, it looks like a good house. It's as awkward as it looks because it's a large glaringly white triangle sticking out there To minimize the top-heavy look, paint the upper floor a lot darker than the other two stories - make a 2/3 i/3 split on the color. You can also break up that triangle's massive look by painting the window trim and any other trim up there a different color than the main parts. |
Thanks - I think you nailed it, looks like a Shingle Style! Unfortunately I think they put normal horizontal siding on it not that long ago, wish they had stayed with shingles :/ I'm not sure if the pure white paint is doing it any favors, most of the Shingle Style houses I found on the web had cedar shakes in natural or gray, with white trim. Maybe time to try Photoshopping some new colors onto the house... :) |
I do not think it is ugly at all, but I like quirky houses. YOU have to like it, though. I agree that a different paint scheme is needed to bring out this house's beauty. Post some more pictures for us. |

Is that a little balcony up there on 3rd floor out the window? Be fun to sit there and watch the world go by. |
Yeah, I agree on the monolithic color not helping things. It should look more like this one, which even has a similar style of deep-set upper story window (is there a specific name for that style?) http://st.houzz.com/simgs/3d71129e001d50c7_15-8506/traditional-exterior.jpg Since the siding is fairly new, I'm not sure the cost feasibility of painting all of it, but maybe just painting the upper floor a darker color like you said, or even replacing the upper siding with natural-colored shakes, would make a big difference. Thanks! |

It is a cool house that needs a little love! I think it looks like it is missing the original front porch, which would have extended out just beyond the line of the third story. It wouldn't look weird at all, with it's porch back on! I think I know this house...on O. Ave! Location, location, location. It is a bargain. |

Sorry Shanghai, i totally disagree and think that IS the original porch dimension. I bet it had awnings all around it - that would surely decrease the top-heaviness. This is the shingle/colonial revival kind of mix that is very popular here in Louisville. painted on color will make it way better. Shingles that naturally weather or are stained will make it near perfect. Think first/second floor one color (of paint or stain), third another - it will suddenly be the hit of the block. Sadly, a google image search brings up all the big New England seaside cottages rather than smaller urban versions, like this. But youll see all of the parts in this house in those big landmark examples from New England. BUT, it really sounds like YOU think its ugly. All the "fixing up" in the world won't ever change that - if you question it at all, move on to another and leave this one for someone who loves it. |

I have to agree with j i m--it has its original porch...there is just no evidence for a different one across the front; you don't flare shingles between storeys if the porch roof is going to be there. Awnings would have reduced the ungainliness...but they would most definitely NOT have been the metal type seen so often these days--they would have been real canvas on a framework of poles. Metal awnings are just abominations on any house, and should be banned. :) |

The house next door to it is it's twin and has an intact porch. Looks completely in proportion. It is easy for me to see, as I live nearby and drive by it often. I hope Serow (or someone) buys it, puts the porch back on, and saves this cute house from Ugly Ducklinghood. |
Here's a similar Twin Cities home illustrating what changing the colour scheme will do. (You'll have to overlook all the "modernizing" accretions.) |

Porches often are later additions. Why would anyone have a stone porch and add another out from there - seems weird at best. Even without seeing the neighbors house, I doubt their porch is original. Love it or hate it, this is just the way the style was put together. Remember, just 'cause its old doesn't mean its original. |

Wait... This is a RPG? When I saw this really wasn't a horror game i took it off my radar. But now that I know its a RPG, I'll keep my eye on it.
Give me Underboob, or give me death!

I'd heard this was an rpg, but it seemed like that was just based on the camera and the dungeon-crawling gameplay. This is the first time I'd had it confirmed that's there's levelling-up etc, so actually a proper RPG! I love Silent Hill, and as other people have said, it makes no sense to use monsters such as pyramid head etc who are so linked to certain characters' stories, and this is unlikely to have as good a story as the other great games in the series but that said, a randomised dungeon-crawler RPG in the Silent Hill universe??!! Sold.

MEDFORD, Ore. — The sequestration budget cuts have impacted the Bureau of Land Management in Southern Oregon and now they are asking for a helping hand from the public. Crews may be unable to perform maintenance on BLM trails and say the public can help.
The trails are clear and the trash cans are near empty right now but because of budget cuts Bureau of Land Management maintenance crews will be limited in the amount of time they can spend keeping an eye on the up-keep of trails and campgrounds in Jackson and Josephine Counties.
BLM officials encourage the public to be mindful of the trails they use and to keep an eye out and alert the BLM office for any issues. Some hikers say they have no problem picking up after themselves and said it is the least they can do to ensure everyone will be able to continue to enjoy the trails.
BLM officials say it isn't the trash cans or other materials themselves that keep the cost high it's the crew that is smaller than in previous years they are working with.
"Pack out your trash, it's not that it's a huge cost for the trash cans but it does cost us to go and patrol those areas and empty the trash and that eats up time that people could be doing something else," said Jim Whittington Bureau of Land Management.
Officials went on to say that there will be fewer BLM representatives to ask questions while out recreating on the campgrounds or trails. It was just announced today that some of the campground and six bathrooms at Hyatt Lake will open for the season this Friday.
The opening is a few weeks later than usual while permanent BLM crews could get the preparations done.

Trike Rear Ends.
Thanks go to Donny Petersen of Heavy Duty Cycles, Toronto, for this condensed article on trike rear ends. January 25, 2003.
The topics discussed here are the Lehman "No Lean" suspension for Gold Wings and Harleys, independent suspensions, anti-sway mechanisms, differential or "spider" gears, posi-traction differentials and front end shimmy.
No Lean Suspension.
Lehman, an American company that builds trike kits for Honda Gold Wings and some Harley Davidson models, have a proprietary "no lean" suspension, which means they developed it. So what does this mean? Well for example, the post-WW11 HD45 trike Servi-car can't lean, period, because there is no rear suspension as it is a rigid frame design. A spring-loaded seat post that takes up the jarring, unforgiving road bump impacts compensates for a lack of rear suspension. Rear fork (swingarm), design is the single biggest factor on how a trike will handle. This, of course, has a direct and important influence on ride quality. Rigidity also plays a major role in trike rear fork design where "flex" is the enemy. Swingarm flex would cause the trike to lean in the corner resulting in decreased stability and heavier steering. Ride quality is directly proportional to lack of flexing structural parts. The Lehman swingarm is a one-piece, reinforced unit that is designed to control and reduce torsional effects. Torsion is torque induced twisting or rotational movement that affects rigidity and interferes with the stable forward motion of the trike. The rear end has a differential and solid rear axles. Rigidity in the rear fork design ensures that all three wheels stay on the ground where they belong while cornering. Furthermore, the trike center of gravity stays where it belongs, centered over the rear end, rather than shifting along with the suspension during the cornering process.
Independent Trike Rear Suspensions.
Independent suspensions are just that. Each shock can act on its own depending on the forces applied. With this system one shock can compress while the other is allowed to extend. If we are turning right, the shock on the trike's left side will compress because the center of gravity and therefore weight is shifted in that direction the trike wants to go in the same straight direction via momentum but is being forced to turn. On the right side, the shock is being forced to compensate for the weight transfer away from it. Therefore, it will extend. No Lean suspension is the opposite of this where both shocks are rigidly encouraged to maintain or approximate the same length in a turning situation. Independent suspensions will not allow a trike to corner as fast. The forces of weight transfer and a moving center of gravity will induce "body roll" or sway, which creates a less stable ride. The trike may feel like it will tip if too aggressive a turn is attempted and must be slowed down until the turn has been negotiated. The No Lean suspension is not as comfortable as an independent one. However this is a matter of degree.
Independent suspension is the best option for trikers who want comfort and who are not interested in riding dangerously.
Anti-Sway Mechanisms.
Independent suspension trikes often employ anti-sway apparatus, which may be referred to as limiting kits. They limit the amount of opposing shock travel relative to each other. The bottom line is that the independent suspension loses some of its comfort or smooth ride benefits but makes travel around a corner more efficient. Anti-sway bars bring a true independent suspension towards but not achieving a true no-lean suspension. To me, safety is the ultimate goal before anything else like aesthetic changes; on two or three wheels, the better the handling the safer it is. For this reason I prefer No Lean first, anti-sway independent second, independent suspensions third with rigid in last place. If comfort is the primary goal then independent suspensions move up the list.
Fusion Trikes employ anti-sway independent suspension on their passenger trikes and live axles on their delivery trikes, unless a customer specifically requests a sports trike (for example) with a live axle].
Differential Gears.
Differential or "spider" gears are found inside the carrier in the differential assembly. The differential assembly is the unit the rear Harley belt pulley attaches to and drives. The assembly extends to both rear wheels transferring the horsepower and torque to them. The spider gears allow one wheel to turn fewer rotations while the other turns more rotations. This is needed for turning corners. In a cornering situation the inside wheel does not travel as far as the outside wheel therefore requiring less rotations. The differential carrier should be greased at each regular service interval. Give one pump of grease for every 1000 miles since the previous service.
Posi-Traction Differentials.
A total posi-traction system drives both wheels according the same number of rotations each. This is for drag-strip racing but on the street the inner wheel would "squeal" during cornering because the inner wheel is turning the same number of rotations as the outer but it is not travelling as far. Some posi-traction systems have a slip component [limited slip diff] whereby if the drive wheel spins for whatever reason the drive component is transferred to the other wheel. This is great if one wheel is spinning on ice for example; the drive component is transferred to the other wheel, which hopefully can gain traction. This type of posi-traction allows for some slip of the inner wheel while cornering to eliminate the "squeal". This is another reason why some homemade trikes may be unsafe. If the differential on these have posi-traction the trike might spin out on corners or in adverse handling situations. Therefore it is evident that we do not want a posi-traction differential on a trike for the above noted reasons.
Drive Shaft Differentials.
Many of the Japanese and European bikes have drive shafts which require the use of universal joints for transferring the power back through the transmission output shaft to the axles connecting the two wheels. Universal joints are not needed with the Harley trikes but are very necessary on drive shaft models. A Universal joint allows for and takes care of changes in drive angle. The angle of drive must change because the transmission is stationary while the wheels go up and down with the suspension. Universal joints vibrate due to their design. This vibration is self-cancelling on cars through design because the joints are always in pairs. A motorcycle trike uses them singly. [
Fusion Trikes installs a Universal joint on each end of their bike trike's drive shafts]. There are needle bearings inside the universal caps. For this reason all universal joints are designed to have a minimum of a 1/2-degree of working angle. This is necessary to ensure that the bearing rollers roll. At no angle or those less than a 1/2-degree the needle rollers have a tendency to remain stationary which causes wear, vibration and then failure. The rear universal joint should be greased every 3000 miles or more often under severe driving conditions. There is no driveshaft on the Harley Trikes as the stock rear belt drive and pulleys very ably drive the Lehman designs.
Front End Shimmy.
Side to side movement in the trike rear end's 2 wheels is transferred forward. This is systemic to all trikes and is a result of the geometry of the machine. It results in front fork shimmy or shake. This can be annoying especially with aggravating road conditions. It is certainly tiring if touring. The shake is easily corrected by utilizing steering dampers. This is an adjustable hydraulic attachment that looks a little like a door closer. It attaches to the front fork tube near the top and the other end is similarly attached to the frame downtube. Some riders feel no need for a damper while others use only one. Others prefer a damper on either side. Another way that can be used independently of or in conjunction with damper(s) to control shimmy are raked triple trees. While not advisable on 2-wheelers, raked triple trees work very well on bikes with sidecars and trikes in other words with 3 wheels.
The safety of trikes has improved immeasurably over the years. They are a viable alternative to two wheels for those that want to experience the pleasures and therapy of wind in your face that a car can never provide. We build trikes on a regular basis for enthusiasts and others, meaning older bikers that refuse to give up riding but can no longer hold up a heavyweight bike because of age, or whatever. We build custom clutch/shift/braking systems for the disabled. We have hand-operated proportional braking systems that activate all three brakes at the same time safely for those that cannot use their legs. These people refuse to give up, persevering to get what they want and above all enjoying the freedom that riding bestows. There is a proliferation of trike clubs across North America to suit every facet of the lifestyle. Fusion Trikes' mission is to make triking as popular and accepted as biking is in South Africa. The trike community is growing rapidly, but Fusion Trikes is the only company in South Africa designing and building our own range of awesome and versatile trikes for the motoring public. As our customer base grows, we will soon be hosting our own events and runs and above all creating an environment for companionship with your peers.

To Conquer Europe
Announcing the 2013 European Championships for Warhammer: Invasion |
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game | Published 16 April 2013 |
This year, one of the world's largest tournaments for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game will carry more prestige than ever…
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce that Assault on Wroclaw, one of the most popular gatherings for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game, will host the game's 2013 European Championship tournament!
This April 27th – 28th, players will carry their siege engines to the Castle Cultural Centre in Wroclaw, where they will battle for the fate of the Old World. The skirmishes are sure to be fast and ferocious, driven to the battlefield by the wealth of new deck types inspired by the Eternal War cycle and the most recent tournament rules and FAQ. In the end, only one Champion will emerge victorious from the chaos of war, and in addition to all the event's accolades and custom prizes, this Champion will win the coolest prize in gaming – the chance to work with the game's designers to create a Champion Card and forever stamp his legend upon the game!
Tournament organizer, Przemyslaw Zub offers more information about the event.
Assault on Wroclaw – Warhammer: Invasion European Championships
Dark days are coming…
You hear the Calling. It invites you to set forth upon yet another expedition. It invites you to draw your sword, chant your next spell, and devise new tactics to outwit your enemy. The Calling leads you to an ancient city. A city of rulers and mockery. A citadel of arbiters and martyrdom. A fortress of bards and conquerors… Countless legends tell of riches torn from dragons (and somehow from the Dwarfs). These legends have attracted adventurers for years, but only a few of them survived the maze of traps, defeated the powerful guards at the city's center, reached out, and seized their rewards!One song tells of a woman, a brave warrior, who lead a band of renegade dwarves who managed to plant their banner on the top of the city's tallest tower. Another relates the story of a young man who, not so long ago, crept into the city like the morning mist with his devilish intrigues and Dark Elves and became its ruler…
The songs, the bards, and an empty place in the Hall of Heroes awaits the city's next legend, the one who will heed the Calling and seize his glory in this famous struggle for the Old World!
Dark days are coming… The Twin Tailed Comet fell somewhere in the areas of Kislev
It is a sign of coming war. Launch your assault now! Who knows what awaits us next? Who can predict the fate of the world? Do not hesitate. Assault on Wroclaw calls!
I am pleased and honored to invite you to the next installment of Assault on Wroclaw, the tournament that has become a legend on the Warhammer: Invasion stage. As usual, this event will be the Polish Regional Championship. More importantly, Assault on Wroclaw will also be the 2013 European Championship, and I hope that it will beat all previous editions for turnout, level, and satisfaction.
We are expecting seventy to ninety players, so come on! Be a part of this great event! Our tournament venue is the beautiful, old castle in Lesnica, Wroclaw. We have a whole dungeon to our disposition, to play Warhammer: Invasion, talk, and enjoy post-tournament camaraderie.

This lip gloss is really glossy and sticky. It has a sort of sweet smell which isn't too overwhelming. The gloss lasts pretty long.
My first JT and still one of my faves. Yes, it's almost clear. Yes, the scent is quite strong--it does smell like jelly donuts. It lasts a while, feels great on my lips and makes my lips look especially glossy. This is my favorite work gloss.
No, this is not a very pigmented JT, but it's still a good one. On me, it's mostly clear with a slight milky pink tint. I love the texture and I find JTs to be very moisturizing. Some people want a lot of pigment in their lip glosses but I prefer sheer glosses. This is why I always come back to JTs.
This not-overly-sticky, shiny gloss is great! I can't wait to get more Juicy Tubes and have only the best to say about it!
Did anyone else notice that this scented with the exact same fruity smell as all of L'Oreal's CJ's?! Otherwise, this is just a basic clearish gloss.
this lip gloss makes my lips so smooth and shiny! it tastes really sweet (sort of cotton candy??) but not too overpowering. it is a little sticky but i think it's worth it because i love how it looks on my lips.
JTs are very nice...but this has become my plain Jane day gloss with a brown liner and alternatively a night time lip balm...that's it. I have so many other glosses that offer more of a punch...I probably wouldn't buy this again. I thought this would be more like MAC's Underage, which is nice albeit sticky. This is crystal clear and quite boring. I felt the same way about MAC's clear lipglass tube, which I barely use especially at night for fear of being glued to my pillow (lol)!
More reviews by carrieslikewhoa
Okay, so the color isnt anything too special, its a sheer milky pink that looks basically clear with a tinge of pink on me. No shimmer, no sparkle, no fuss. Just clear pinkish.
The smell is WONDERFUL. Smells like raspberry donuts or something equally tasty. Everyone loves the way this one smells.
A wonderful springy gloss. I love it!
More reviews by Toronto_princess
This is sooooooooooooo good. It's NOT just a clear gloss. I a comfortable, ultra shiny, ultra glossy, long lasting, non messy gloss. The colour is great on everyone. The texture is amazing, it is super lasting...LESS TOUCHUPS!, super comfortable..not gross feeling, My lips are so SHINY and GLOSSY...almost like plastic/glassy looking!!! My lip look a bit plumper. I find it moisturizing. The packaging is great because unlike the Loreal colour juice, the applicator on the juicy tube is better, earier to use, plus the cap helps not to waste the product and stops it from getting messy so you save alot of product. My tubes last a long time...cartainly more than the colour juice. the smell is light and pretty...nothing gross and sugary!!! I will but this again and again! It's a must have

Need a quick opinion. I am replacing 1960's Aluminum sliding windows.(which are horrible leaky monstrosities) I am in the NW area of Missouri. I have spent all day at dealers and on forums pricing, reading reviews, etc.
So if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Or even recommend another brand that would be close to $1000-1300 total for a 72x52, 2 36x52's and a 32x38 all double pane double hung vinyl. I have installation well covered. Personal friend/contractor. |

Simonton would be the best of those assuming you are looking at the Reflections 5500. Generally, the better brands are not available to non-dealers. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (email@example.com) on Fri, Feb 10, 12 at 11:52
+1 I would also encourage you to look for Sunrise and Soft-Lite as well. |
- Posted by GulfBreezeWindows (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Feb 10, 12 at 12:22
Simonton (5500) like Sky said is the best out of those 3. The PGT SpectraGuard is a really good window too. |
- Posted by skydawggy (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Feb 10, 12 at 14:37
He won't have access to Sunrise. It's only sold through dealers. I believe the same is true about Softlite. At least the upper lines are only available through dealers. |
- Posted by HomeSealed (email@example.com) on Fri, Feb 10, 12 at 17:51
Sunrise and Softlite both offer certain lines through distribution in my area, and would be worth a look. It's also possible that a dealer may sell a premium line cash and carry. |
if you look at simonton, it needs to be at least the 5500. your budget is also very unrealistic unless you plan on hiring a handyman who i guarantee wont do a proper install. reliabilt is not a good window and american craftsman is total junk. budget or no budget those brands are low quality. |
- Posted by Sylvanessa (My Page) on Sat, Feb 11, 12 at 11:27
Thank you for the replies. I did go with the 5500's and as for the install I have a personal friend who is a contractor helping me with the installation. Budget was for the windows only. |
LOl, " the friend of the family " .. if i had a nickle for everytime i heard that one id be rich. if i had a penny for every friend of the family contractor that didnt perform a proper install id be even richer. seriously, i hope he is a window contractor and not a jack of all trades. |
