How does one go about getting a deep green lawn? I've seen some lawns that look like this and wondered how they got it that way? It looks awesome and I'd like my lawn to look like this. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
How much sun does your lawn get each day? How much water does the lawn get from rain? Can you water when there isn't enough rain? How often do you want to fertilize and how often do you want to mow? Where are you? Zone 8 doesn't tell us much. It only tells us how cold it gets at the coldest. Most people think zone 8 means hot, since states like Texas, Alabama, Mississipi, Georgia, the Carolinas are mostly zone 8. But So is much of the western part of Washington state. |

Another piece is the type of grass you are growing... Some grasses have a natural apple green color (Like Centipede) and others like Bluegrass can get a darker green color when they are happy.... Next is culture... Your particular grass may *Have* the potential to be very dark green... but the culture it gets may not be conducive to this.... Amending your soil based on a soil test will help sort a whole lot of this out. One thing that helped my grass based on a soil test was iron. I supplemented my fertilizer with Milorganite at full bag rate -- but others here have suggested that foliar sprays are more effective for Iron... A foliar spray would also have a benefit of not producing a giant flush of green top growth in the heat of Summer that leads to fungus outbreaks..... But.. base it off of a soil test... |

I am having a great experience with coming into menopause,, I had night sweats for about 2 weeks, then they backed off and I got my period, only 3 days a small amount, now I am feeling SO GOOD and I have so much more energy than when I bled to death every 3 weeks!
take heart,, maybe it isn't all that bad once you get to a certain point. I am hopeful that I will continue along easily, but I feel bad for you who are having difficulties. I didnt' take anything, I just went to bed later so I was more tired, drank about 10 glasses of water a day rather than 6 and I ran outside when the weather was fit. Good luck all! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's great that you shared your positive experience. It reminds me that a negative attitude can worsen the difficult time I've been having for two years now. There are positive aspects to menopause, but they get forgotten when I'm looking around for a towel to dab my neck and face with for the zillionth time in a day. I'm going to make a concscious effort to be more grateful that I'm otherwise in good health and still able to turn a young male head now and then! |
things continue to go well, although some problems. I got another period 2 weeks ago, the first 24 hours I went through wearing THREE super absobent products at one time for a total of 50 products, I was changing every 2 hours, it was horrible. then it suddenly stopped and I am getting my energy back. My energy is coming back sooner, though, than it used to when I had a period every month. the night sweats have gone mostly completely away now that I can again exercise outside. the water intake is very important to my reduction of hot flashes I have noticed. For some reason, milk makes my bladder overactive. Strange things I am figuring out to make my transition work for me. it is still better than the monthly cycle,, Good luck all! Lori |

Oh man, it smells unbelievable. Just went out to check the egg. It went from a steady temp of 235 deg f to a temp of 250 deg f. I don't want it to climb any further, so I shut the bottom damper a coupla centimeters. Gonna find a movie to watch and then check it again afterwards. I'd rather be doing this than anything else right now. Some may call us us dorks, but I like to refer to us as culinary bada$$es...Solson005 said:I bet that smoke smells awesome.

I worked at Operation Homefront full-time
ProsComfortable work place, laid back environment, great opportunity to help military families. Great entry level job to get your feet wet, and to get a glimpse into a major non profit. Growing company and still trying to find a balance between services and policy. Freedom to work in a manner that is more comfortable to you not much micro management.
ConsInconsistent, ethics are highly questionable, management very secretive and deceptive. They have gone through CEO's like shoes, people vanish without any mention if they cross the wrong member in management. Upper management consist of a married couple??? Which would be less alarming at a larger company. High turnover-for a reason, individuals that have worked for the company for more than 5 years are almost non-existent, which demonstrates that this is a pit stop company not one you want to get to comfortable with. No real formal training, more of a sink or swim situation.
Advice to ManagementAdviceHonesty, Transparency, Ethics, Consistency-I think with time the company will be able to adapt and be a place where people want to work for the long haul.

This ambulatory eye procedure is well known by many consumers as Laser eye surgery rather than LASIK eye surgery. But no matter how we call it, the true is that this surgery is one of the most popular refractive procedures today! Because it is consider by many surgeons a procedure simple to perform, predictable and stable, allowing the patients to have painless experiences with a early recovery and minimal postoperative care.
The outstanding benefits of this procedure can literally improve vision in the blink of an eye! Because all the process occurs on the surface of the cornea, therefore, it does not require any kind of stitches.
Every surgery passes through a rigorous technical detail in order to complement the surgical skills of the physician, and to ensure the high standards that are required for optimal outcomes. Sate-of-the-art technology makes this elite refractive eye surgery faster and safer than ever. The procedure depends upon Excimer Laser pulses in order to permanently remove corneal tissue located "under the flap".
This particular laser device helps to artificially "vaporizes" in a meticulous and irreversibly manner corneal tissue, changing the natural shape and thickness of the cornea.
The procedure corrects the most common refractive errors such as; Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism and "Presbyopia". LASIK surgery was intended to temporarily reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses. More than seven hundred thousand people experience this procedure every year, and more than 55% of them achieve 20/20 vision or even better.
LASIK surgery arouses interest of many surgeons, as well as many people who are currently experience the most common vision problems such as; Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Astigmatism and "Presbyopia". Imagine being able to do your daily basis activities and hobbies without depending on glasses or contact lenses. The chances to make this a reality are very high, when you are evaluated by a professional and considered as a candidate.
Important Note: This procedure was intended to improve vision and reduce patient's dependence of glasses or contact lenses. The surgery "does not prevent you from losing the inability to focus close up as a result of aging", in other words (presbyopia), and even though some Excimer Laser are able to treat presbyopia today and it has been tested and approved by many countries, the FDA has not officially approved this treatment in the United States, in fact this treatment still in a "early stage of study".
Many LASIK service providers offers a Free consultation to all those who manifest a real interest on this procedure, and considering that most of the providers are supported by a surgical coordinator, it is more than likely that you would not speak with the doctor immediately, in fact there is a preliminary interview with this counselor in order to explore patient's expectations, discuss about your medical history, as well as taking preliminary medical test to determine candidacy.
On this early stage the patient has the opportunity to ask as many questions as they want, in order to ensure personal confidence and satisfaction. Hence, at this point is very common to make preliminary question in order to determinate; surgeon experience, treatment options, price among others. Eventually and after the measures taken you will spend a few minutes with the doctor in order to discuss not only if you are a good candidate for the procedure but also to answer all your medical questions.
Your LASIK eye screening is a group of medical eye tests to determine the thickness of your cornea, to evaluate your refraction, as well as keratometry (corneal curvature) and lastly, a cycloplegic refraction (the dilation of your eye to determinate pupillary distance). All these tests will provide adequate information to determine whether or not you are a candidate for the procedure.
Important Notes: The effect of dilated eyes could last until the next day perhaps you may experience some discomfort with light exposure, even under normal circumstances.
Contact lens patients should stop wearing their contact lenses two weeks previous to the LASIK screening in order to have accurate measures and reduce over correction or under correction risk.
Many patients are unwittingly nervous, as they approach the time of their surgeries, which it is absolutely normal and expected at this point of the process. As soon as you check in, you would be attended in order to ensure that you are ready to proceed, it is more than likely that your physician could give you a xanax or percocet pill to help you relax a little bit more, following instructions will always be given to you to ensure well communication and your comfort. You may receive a surgical cleaning with povidone around the surgical area (your eyes) to reduce infection risk.
As soon as you walk into the surgical room, you'll immediately receive instructions from one of the surgical team. You will be lying back on a "very comfortable surgical chair" by the time the procedure begins, following instructions will always be provided to you by the doctor while he/she performs the procedure. You eye will have drops of anesthesia as soon as the surgery begins, then your doctor will open your eyes with an surgical instrument called speculum thus preventing blink, at this point the doctor mark the cornea in order to create the flap. The flap could be created by two different devices (microkeratome) which is mechanical or with a (femtosecond laser). Regardless of what kind of technology is used, you will feel some pressure in your eye while the creation of your flap occurs, for that period of time you will feel some discomfort but not pain. The surgeon will lift the flap in order to deliver Excimer Laser pulses into the stroma, (Please watch the video for better understanding). After the laser treatment, your surgeon will reposition the flap back on place and finally will put some eye drops medication in order to prevent infection. As soon as your procedure is done, your doctor will give you some goggles to prevent against any kind of physical contact for the following hrs (before your post-operative care begins).
Surgeon's Perspective | Patient's Perspective
Your LASIK surgery is done and now the healing process begins. At this point, you will notice improvement in your vision as time goes by. Perhaps you may experience; slightly blurry vision for the first 24 hours, light sensitivity, watery eyes, redness and irritation which would be considered "normal" at this point. Your follow-up appointment is scheduled most of the time the very next day, where you will have a post-operative screening in order to determinate what is your vision acuity, make sure that the cornea is well positioned and discuss with your doctor potential experiences such as: discomfort, pain or sand sensation that will gradually reduce in your eyes.
Your post-operative care varies according to the surgeon, but you would certainly be seen again for your follow-ups: 24 hrs after the procedure, one week after, one month after and a year after.

What others are saying about Pure Acai Berry
"There are so many products out there claiming to be the next 'super fruit' or 'best diet supplement'. I decided to try one I had actually heard of and this company seemed pretty genuine. The results have been amazing; I have so much more energy and in turn have been getting more exercise and snacking less.
I really feel like a different person, no longer irritable or sluggish but vibrant and positively chirpy! It has made a difference in every aspect of my life – from work to my relationship. Thanks so much PureAcaiBerry™!"
Sarah, UK
"I tried PureAcaiBerry™ purely because of your own literature and testimonials. I was 14 stone when I got my first batch.
I now, after attending the gym at least 3 times a week & taking PureAcaiBerry™ am just over 12 stone! My skin is much better and I have a healthier mind. Thanks PureAcaiBerry™!"
Andrew, USA
"I took PureAcaiBerry™ because I knew acai is a strong anti-oxidant which is very beneficial to health, immune support and anti-aging.
I took tablets as instructed and after about a week noticed that I was looking less bloated and generally am a bit slimmer. My clothes did not feel as tight either. I feel more alert and 'healthier', and my skin is not quite as dry as it was before I started taking it.
Wonderful product, would certainly recommend it, it is a great helping hand for weight loss and with additional benefits"

Kathy Sidell: career launcher (Todd English, Jeff Fournier); restaurateur (the MET empire); sister of Stephanie (Newbury Street's Stephanie, that is); and now author. She's throwing a lavish soiree for her behind-the-scenes look at the biz, When I Met Food, tonight. Lucky for us, she took a break to offer a crash course in restaurant management ... and to defend Guy Fieri.
Location Is Key: "It's critical," she says. On that note, look for her to open two new branches sometime in the not-so-distant future. She won't reveal where, though she notes that Boston's northern suburbs are a bit culinarily deprived. And there's always the South End...
It Is Not Glamorous: If you're going into the restaurant biz to wine and dine with tables of models while Tweeting photos of your sweat-soaked self elbow-deep in a champagne bucket, you might want to reconsider your career choices. "People think it's very glamorous, see and be seen, especially if you have a successful place. It's an adrenaline high. But the reality is, it's a business. You have to make the tough decisions: What you can affors, what the public is willing to pay for, and people misjudge that equation."
Good Food Just Isn't Enough: "From the concept to the graphics to the business plan to the menu to the service, what you deliver has to have a very common theme and often times, restauteurs or chefs don't understand that it's not enough to have one element drive the business. It's not enough to have a great name, or great food; it takes a confluence to make any magic happen in any artistic endeavor."
Keep Your Brand Consistent: "You need to have a clear identity and you need to have a clear idea of what you are conveying. People can get confused; they think of food in very specific genres ,not unlike movies. 'I am going to a steakhouse. I'm going to an Italian restaurant.' People eat out in genres."
Nobody Likes Hamburger Bread: "We thought this was a brilliant idea. It was the best thing you ever had. Melt in your mouth, and nobody ordered it at our burger bar in Natick. It was kind of like a Philly steak roll. We all gained five pounds. But, I guess, if you're ordered a hamburger, you don't want hamburger bread, too."
Give Guy A Break: "Way too much credence is given to restaurant reviewers. I truly believe Yelp! is fantastic because people are honest, and that's more valuable than someone who has been wined and dined by a lot of people and has a particular point of view ... He is a big success, and people love to throw arrows at people who do well."

Celestial Steed mount and Lil' XT pet to be sold on the Blizzard store {WoW}
Apr 15th 2010 10:05AM Well if you believe MMO-Champion who datamined the pet+mount in the first place (without knowing that it would ultimately be sold at the Blizzard store), the celestial mount is build in the same way as the two seat rocket, ie it acts as a land or flying mount depending on where you happen to be. Also it's speed will match that of your fastest mount. Do if you have say the purple 310% drake, your celestial mount will also fly at 310%. To that extent, you can argue that the mount is "the first useful in-game item you can directly buy with real world money" since it only adds a cosmetic advantage to what you already have.
Now, the real issue that has 600+ people still counting arguing on MMO-Champion is whether it removes some of the epicness from obtaining invicible from Arthas R25 hard mode, the very same mount but with a different skin. I'm happy that casual gamers will be able to obtain their own version of invicible but also agree that does take some value from the feat. I guess you could say that the -- much sought after extremely expensive on ebay -- spectral tiger already set the tone but still...

Is there a place for MMO magazines? {WoW}
Mar 4th 2010 11:15AM "The magazine announcement actually begs the question about whether there's much sense in publishing magazines for an MMO, a constantly evolving and growing game."
Au contraire, an MMO based magazine about MMOs at large of specifically about WoW could be successful as there's always news, updates etc to be covered whereas there'ds just no demand for a periodical magazine covering just say Super Mario Bros 4. In other words, one off guides are better suited to offline games whereas magazines are better suited to MMOs. Yes, I know there are WoW guides out there but I keep wondering who's buying those as it's guaranteed to be outdated in a very short time frame.
Having said that, whether printed material has any future in an online world is another question alltogether which is what I believe the author was actually asking.

I have a TFAL Deep Fat Fryer that I use to form taco shells that is a bear to clean. The oil gets everywhere and turns into a gummy yellow mass. If I work really hard with an SOS pad it will remove some of the gunk but it's very difficult and I'm afraid of scratching the surface. The fact that I can't submerse the appliance in water compounds the problem. Are there any products that would desolve the grease buildup? The outside looks like stainless steel and the inside is aluminum. I may be able to use oven cleaner on the outside but not on the inside as it would corrode the aluminum. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Cleaning my deep fryer is one of my least favorite chores but i have an easy solution to make this one a little bit easier Things You'll Need: • Scraper or spatula • Clean cloths or paper towels • Water • Dishwashing liquid • Vinegar • Degreasing solvent or baking soda Step 1 Unplug the deep fryer and let the oil cool. When the oil has cooled to about 150 degrees F, drain the oil out of the fryer. Remove the basket and wash separately. Step 2 Scrape the sides of the deep fryer to remove any caked on food or oil. Remove with a paper towel. Step 3 Fill with water to the oil level and add a little dishwashing liquid. Plug in the deep fryer and allow the soap solution to come to a boil. Allow to boil 5 to 15 minutes. Turn off the deep fryer, unplug it and allow the water solution to cool. Step 4 Drain the water from the deep fryer and discard. Rinse with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 9 parts water. Rinse a final time with clear water. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth or paper towels. Step 5 Clean the outside of the deep fryer by covering it with a degreasing solvent or a paste made from baking soda and water. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse with a wet cloth or paper towel. Dry thoroughly. I hope this helps! Alicia |
Here is a link that might be useful: Green Home & Garden Tips
I use essentially the same method. Empty cooled oil out of the fryer. (I store it in the refrigerator for future use). Remove any grease you can with paper towels. Add hot water from the tap and a good squirt of Dawn Dishwashing liquid. Let sit, when water cools to about lukewarm bathwater temperature, dump out the fryer. Hand wash the inside of the fryer. Be careful at all steps. Never immerse the fryer in water. You're done. |

I've had my LG 5101 for about a week and a half and so far, so good, except that the clothes are very twisted at the end of the wash, much more so than with my old agitator TL. It seems worse with larger loads. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
How are you soring your clothes and what wash cycle are you choosing for each load that is twisted. |
Have no idea, we just put clothes in their appropriate groups be they Whites, Normal cotton like Jeans etc, delicates. Throw them in the tub, put in the detergent, close the lid hit the button and never have any problems with "twisting". |
I've been sorting by colors as I have always done, so jeans are in the same load as tshirts, etc as long as they're all darks or lights. After my load last night I began wondering if I need to sort more by durability, so tshirts together, jeans separately, etc. I'm still getting used to the cycles. For clothes I've been using whites or pure color. Last night's load that prompted me to post was pure color. And as long as I'm asking questions, I can't get my towels to come out soft even with fabric softener (they did with my old washer). I've been using the towel cycle for washing and drying. Any suggestions here, too? Thanks for the help! |
It could actually be the fabric softener that could be making your towels seem a bit rough. If the fabric softener builds up it can do that. I would try washing them in the Bright Whites cycle so it is a HOT wash and use 2 extra rinses. Also add water to make sure there is plenty of water. Then you can also put 2-3 new tennis balls in the dryer with the towels which can also help fluff them up. |
I have the wave force with the heater. For colored clothes, I use the cotton/ normal cycle. Jeans, I use the towels, or cotton cycle, T shirts..cotton cycle, black jeans, pure color cycle. I wash jeans alone and everything according to to weight and durablity. Sheets go on bulky bedding cycle as with blankets and I never wash them together because blanets will throw lint. My towels come out very soft, of course softer with fabric softener in them. Heavy duty is a vigerous cycle so only my work jeans go in it or cleaning rags. If your towels are stiff, try washing them in hot water on the bulky cycle, you may have a build up of detergent in them and add the extra rinses availible on the control panel. |

After my load last night I began wondering if I need to sort more by durability, so tshirts together, jeans separately, etc.Yes, it's much more important with these HE toploaders to sort by fabric weight. I would never wash jeans with t-shirts (or with knits or any kind of casuals) in any machine. |

Simply put LG is a lousy brand and you didn't do yourself any favors by purchasing a toploader. |

"Simply put LG is a lousy brand" Could you enlighten us all with your proof of this statement or is this just your "opinion"? |
Let me guess........another troll with a "drive-by" posting trying to stir the pot. |
Cindyklein...WHATEVER BIOTCH! |
Thanks for the input - lots of laundry to do this weekend so will give the weighted sorting a try. |
I tried the weighted sorting and still have lots of twisting - long sleeved shirts come out in almost a knot. It's not that big a deal for things going into the dryer - they're coming out wrinkle free. But, I do hang dry some clothes and they're looking awful! Any other suggestions on how to reduce the tangling? I also ran my towles on a sanitary cyle over night - some were softer but some were still scratchy. I read on another post about running a hot cycle and adding vinegar to wash to get out any build-up. I've never done that - where and when do I add it? |
add the vinegar at the beginning of the first rinse cycle, run at least 2 rinse cycles if not 3. Also you can add tennis balls in the dryer to help fluff. Might also try to add water to certain loads that are more prone to twisting. |
- Posted by mydreamhome (My Page) on Tue, Dec 20, 11 at 10:12
I've got the twisting problem too, but I have a Kenmore Elite front loader. I just always figured that the twisting was the price you had to pay for a front loader. Most of my clothes come out of the dryer fine, but jeans (especially) that were twisted will often come out of the dryer with funky wrinkles in the legs. I shake out the twisted clothes before putting them in the dryer & I empty the dryer promptly upon the end of the cycle. If anyone has any other suggestions, please send them on. As far as the towels go, try running them on a hot wash with a prewash with no detergent. The roughness is often detergent that didn't rinse out well. You would be amazed by the amount of suds that often result. You can also try using Charlie's Soap laundry detergent going forward. Many people on the laundry forum swear by it. I will say it leaves towels cuddly soft without having to use softener (softener makes the towel less absorbent). You can use the Charlie's soap to clean your washer of detergent & softener residue too. For your hanging clothes, you can try shaking them out, hanging them/laying them out on a flat surface & once dry, pop them in the dryer for just a few minutes to help any remaining wrinkles fall out. As long as you keep it to just a few minutes in the dryer on a warm setting, it won't be long enough for any damage or shrinking to occur. |

How The First Chapter Series was born
Nancy Bray from Oak Tree Fine Press tell us about this unique project
"Oak Tree Fine Press'
First Chapter Series
is a collaboration between Booker Prize winning authors and numerous artists to raise money for children made vulnerable by HIV and AIDS. Each volume in the series features the opening sequence of a Booker winner alongside a striking image inspired by the text. Immaculately hand-bound and slip-cased, all editions are signed by both author and artist, with profits going to children's shelters in Africa.
Oak Tree Fine Press started as the result of a discussion between its current director, Bruce Howard, and John Coetzee, Nobel Laureate and double Booker Prize winner. At the time, Bruce was living in South Africa and fundraising full time, and had met up with Coetzee to get some books signed. While Bruce sat exploring different fundraising options, Coetzee suggested the possibility of publishing extract editions: brief limited edition books featuring texts by leading modern authors. On a purely practical level, he explained, copyright would be much easier to obtain. On another level, there was the potential to make something unique out of these books, to turn them into something in which the fragmented text would represent the potential of Africa's most vulnerable children. Coetzee offered to contact a number of authors regarding the possibility of their contributing, and so the idea of
The First Chapter Series
was born.
Seven volumes have now been published, and a loyal body of collectors has helped the Press raise over ₤50,000 for vulnerable children. The series is a remarkable one, in which a wide variety of artistic styles - from copper plate etching to photo-montage - reflect the diversity of 'Booker authors' themselves. Nadine Gordimer, A.S.Byatt, Barry Unsworth, Salman Rushdie, D.B.C. Pierre and Thomas Kenneally have all - quite literally - signed up. Several have written new forewords especially for our editions, while Stanley Middleton went one better, contributing a watercolour painting he himself had painted of the seaside town of Bealthorpe, which was the setting for his 1974 winner,
More recently, the series has also benefited from input by high profile artists. Yoko Ono rejected a number of suggested titles before donating an original, swirling, drawing to accompany Margaret Atwood's
The Blind Assassin. In our latest volume,
The Line of Beauty, the work of Alan Hollinghurst and 'Tate favourites' Gilbert and George is brought together for the first time. The book is a shimmering exploration of 1980s London, and suggests that the pairing was long overdue. Thought-provoking contrasts and unexpected sympathies resonate across the volume - a startling candour, an uncompromising humour and a shared, deeply tragic, subtext.
While the authors and artists are the stars of the Series, numerous individuals contribute generously to the work of Oak Tree Fine Press, helping design, edit, produce and market the books. Each book contains a dedication to the child victims of Africa's AIDS crisis, and the success of Oak Tree Fine Press is their success."

This lipstick was a huge disasppointment for me. It bleeds like crazy, no matter how I prime it. I must say I hardly ever have a problem with bleeding lipsticks. I have a pale skin with netral/olive undertones and the colour looks nice with it, but I just cannot wear it at all if I do not want to look like a joker.

I recently purchased MAC's 'Party Line' as my introduction into MAC's lipsticks. I am very pleased with this purchase! I tried many colours before settling on this particular shade, many of which I found a bit too brown, red, or purple. This is a beautiful plummy-red that is not too dark, which helps dramatise or polish off a variety of looks. I find I can wear this both day and night time. I do not use lip liner and have not noticed any migration.
Pros: Pigmentation is top-of-the-line, formula does not dry out my lips, lasting power of 4+ hours, packaging is nice and compact and high-quality, smells lovely, able to try colour at store.
Cons: Depending on your budget, MAC might be a bit steep at $15.
Overall, I think MAC lipsticks are great for go-to colours that you will use regularly and demand a quality formula from. For less-used colours it may be worth sacrificing some of MAC's advantages for the sake of cost.

I absolutely love the colour of Party Line and I like the moisturising feel but unfortunately it bleeds horribly! I end up looking like a little kid who has eaten a red icy pole. It's not that nice stained lip look. It's a berry stain AROUND my lips. Not a good look. I'm still trying to find the primer/powder/whatever that will anchor Party Line to my lips and only my lips because I really want to keep wearing this lovely red but I don't wear it as much as I would if it didn't bleed. As such, I don't know if I'll ever actually finish this tube, let alone buy another. :(

I love this color - I was looking for a great red lippie, but not the bright classic color - I wanted just a shade darker. My friend suggested House Wine (which I got later for free with Back2Mac haha) but when I tried that at the shop it seemed a little too sheer and light. I tried this instead, which is I think exactly one shade darker, and it works great! My skin tone is kind of ambiguous and not really dark or pale, (I can look pale or look dark depending on what I wear???) and some people usually are wary of red lips because the wrong color can look cheap if not done right - this lippie is done right.
This is a great red lipstick for going out, paired with an LBD and big hair for that dark mysterious look ;) - it's just bright enough yet dark enough and not gothy at all.

IMO Party Line is probably one of the most underrated MAC lipsticks out there. It's a gorgeous berry-pink-red that leans more heavily towards the red/pink side rather than the purplish/berry side. Due to my skin tone and lip color most berry shades tend to pull gothy-purple (ugh), but not Party Line! I would even call it less of a berry shade and more of a softer red, so those afraid of wearing a bright red could try this out. Pigmentation is excellent, and while many find Cremesheens drying I've had no such problems with the formula. However, I *do* have a problem with MAC lipsticks going bad on me within a year of purchase, so knocking a lippy off. Party Line is definitely worth picking up though.

i got this in back to mac. it stood out to me as a versatile color and i can make it wine like or red like or burnt orange like depending on the liner i pair it with. it's a regular in my makeup bag that's in my purse. it isn't super moisturizing (which i think helps it last longer) but i top it with a little gloss and it's all good. enjoying this one a lot.

Car No: 8
Sponsor: Budweiser
Organization: Dale Earnhardt Inc.
Dale Jr. etched his name with NASCAR's all-time greats by winning the event affectionately known as "The Great American Race" – the Daytona 500. Driving a special Budweiser "Born-On Dating" paint scheme, Junior had the final word in a day-long bout with Tony Stewart by making a pass with no drafting help with 19 laps to go. He held onto the top spot with Stewart close behind and earned the popular victory on stock car racing's biggest stage. After the race, Junior received a phone call from President George W. Bush, to which he said, "That was the exciting race of my life." Earnhardt Jr. ended the day with 59 laps led, his first-ever Cup points lead, $1.5 million in race earnings, and the Harley J. Earl trophy.

Questions and Answers
I am 72 years old and have been a type 2 for 21 years. I keep my blood sugar under control and get lab work done every three months. My A1c remains at 6%. Despite these measures, every year I get neuropathy on a different part of my body that lasts from winter until spring. Currently, I have it in my right buttocks and the back of my thigh. It is very painful. My doctor doesn't know what to do other than to prescribe painkillers that irritate my stomach.
I would be forever grateful for advice about what to do or who to see to improve my condition.

First of all, you need to establish whether or not you have neuropathy. The pain in your rear and going down the leg is a common symptom of arthritis. Arthritis is notorious for worsening in the rain and cold and can affect joints throughout the body.
People with 21 years of diabetes can get a condition known as a fasciitis. This is an inflammation of the fibrous bands that are found in the sole of the foot, joining the iliac bone to the tibia, in the palm of the hand and around the shoulder. The pain can be similar to neuropathic pain and quite debilitating.
Also, patchy presentations of neuropathy in a person with diabetes can appear for two reasons: entrapment or mononeuritis multiplex.
Entrapment, a response to rest, splints, diuretics or steroid injections, can be diagnosed by a neurologist. If weakness results, surgical unentrapment may be required.
Mononeuritis multiplex, which can occur suddenly, is often painful, but resolves spontaneously. It may affect almost any nerve in the body and usually requires conservative treatment. If, however, it persists or recurs-as yours has-then it is worth further investigation. Clearly, you need to see your doctor to decide whether further treatment is necessary. Lastly, you might want to consider moving someplace warm to avoid the effects of cold winters on your body.

If I am having low blood sugar levels while sleeping, I tend to dream about eating or drinking. Possibly my subconscious state is trying to wake me. I haven't had any low blood sugars accompanied by unconsciousness. I realize this is not a good warning system, but I am curious to find out if you have ever heard of this before.

Your question brings up an excellent area for discussion. It has long been known that there is a direct communication between mind and body.
Our minds often influence physical feelings, and we can learn to control certain functions such as body temperature through concentration and bio-feedback. Your description of your dreams clearly reflects the fact that your mind is registering what is happening in your body. This is certainly a form of internal communication.
We may wake up when our bodies are in pain, when we are too hot or cold or when our blood glucose levels go too low or high. Do not hesitate to accept these clues as valid and respond when you get these feelings, which may be translated into dreams. Also, dreams carry many messages. They may reflect things left undone or anxieties or messages from our bodies or our environment. Your warning system is actually quite sophisticated and quite reliable.
Keep a log of the times your body imposes its needs on your dreams and you will be able to measure the competence of your warning system. Just as we might dream of eating a steak when we are hungry, we also can dream of sweets when our blood glucose dives.
Be certain to follow your doctor's orders and check your blood glucose regularly and often. Attend to all clues you receive about yourself whether awake or asleep because education is our key to good control and enhancement of our lives.

Is it safe for Type 2 diabetics to use St. John's Wort?
Antony B. Johnson
Bellevue, Washington
Up to 40 percent of patients with diabetes have moderate to severe depression. One study showed that less than 10 percent are treated. The best treatment is to see a physician and get a prescription for Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Wellbutrin or Celexa. These are all anti-depressants and work well. St. John's Wort has a mild but similar effect to these drugs. It is my strong belief that it is best to get properly diagnosed, take a prescription med and have the dose adjusted to meet your needs. Taking St. John's Wort may affect you but dose adjustment by yourself is dangerous. If you do use the product, be sure to tell your physician and pharmacist. Several people using it who had surgery actually died because no one knew they were taking it. In the long run, it is better and cheaper to get a thorough exam, a prescription anti-depressant that is monitored and have the dose adjusted to assure you get the correct result.

I was wondering if chewing tobacco is more harmful for people with diabetes than it is for other people. I know that it isn't good for anyone and that smoking isn't good either. I like to have an occasional chew and I wondered if it would have any serious consequences on my health and if it could cause complications later in life for a diabetic.
Mike Hanson
There are several concerns regarding the use of smokeless tobacco by patients with diabetes. Some forms of smokeless tobacco (particularly chewing tobacco, but not snuff) contain sugar, which could affect blood sugar levels and increase insulin requirements.
The nicotine in smokeless tobaccos increases heart rate and blood pressure. This can have deleterious effects on the diabetic patient who is more susceptible to high blood pressure and other types of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the placement of snuff in the mouth results in an extremely rapid absorption of the nicotine into the blood stream.
Finally, placement of smokeless tobacco in the mouth causes irritation and recession of the gums, which can lead to periodontal disease.
Although an "occasional chew" (two to three per week) is less likely to cause complications, the use of all forms of smokeless tobacco can become habituating and lead to dependence, addiction and increased use.

Memorial Opera House has announced auditions on Aug. 12-13 for its upcoming production of Thornton Wilder's classic play "Our Town."
Directed by Justin Treasure, this play is an American classic about the universal human experiences of life, love and death.
Wilder's play about the people of Grover's Corners is a perfect return to small-town values.
Change comes slowly to a small New Hampshire town in the early 20th century.
People grow up, get married, live and die. Milk and the newspaper get delivered every morning and nobody locks their front doors.
"Our Town" is a perfect reminder of a simpler time.
The show will be staged from Oct. 4 -13.
Auditions will take place at the Memorial Opera House, 104 Indiana Ave., Valparaiso.
Audition information: Scot PJ MacDonald at email@example.com or (219) 548-9137, Ext. 53932.
Auditions at Towle
The Towle Youth Theater Ensemble will conduct auditions for "Clue, The Musical at 7 p.m. Aug. 26 at the Towle Theater, 5205 Hohman Ave., Hammond.
Directed by Jeff Casey with musical direction by Elizabeth Tuazon, "Clue" will run Oct. 19-27.
The directors are seeking five young men and three young women (sixth- to 12th-graders) who are all strong singers and actors for this fun and campy musical inspired by the famous board game.
Those auditioning should prepare 32 bars of an up-tempo Broadway-style song and provide sheet music in the proper key, and they may be asked to sing and read from the show.
Offstage or backstage show involvement includes small committees such as box office, technical and public relations or marketing.
The Towle Theater also will host auditions for two non-Equity productions: the original annual production of "A Fabulous 50's Christmas" and the musical "Adrift in Macao" with book and lyrics by Christopher Durang with music by Peter Melnick.
There will be three rounds of auditions from 1-5 p.m. Sept. 7 at Theater Wit, 1229 Belmont Ave., Chicago, and two nights of local auditions at the Towle Theater on Sept. 8-9 at 7 p.m.
All roles in the shows will be paid.
"A Fabulous 50's Christmas" pays homage to the Perry Como and Andy Williams' Christmas specials of the 1950s and '60s with original vocal arrangements and commercials from the era.
"Adrift in Macao" is a loving parody of film noir movies.
Those auditioning for "A Fabulous 50's Christmas" are asked to prepare 32 bars of a standard Christmas song and provide sheet music in the correct key (a capella or taped accompaniment will not be allowed), and they may be asked to read a commercial script.
For the "Adrift in Macao" auditions, one should prepare 32 bars of a Broadway song not from the show and provide sheet music in the correct key (a capella or taped accompaniment will not be allowed), and they may be asked to sing from the score or read from the script.
To schedule an audition for Sept. 7 at Theater Wit email a headshot and resume to email@example.com and specify the show.
No appointments are necessary for the auditions at the Towle Theater.
Information: (219) 937-8780 or towletheater.org.

'Easy Rider' is a Perfect Summer Movie
Features By Scott Beggs on May 9, 2014 | Be the First To CommentEvery week this summer we'll be exploring movies that are perfect for the season. Cinematic stories for watching in a cool, dark room while it's sunny outside. If there's an ultimate lesson in Easy Rider, it's to do your own thing in your own time. The movie tosses out that koanistic nugget right up front when Captain America and Billy (Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) praise a farmer for taking control of his own destiny by living off the land. He does as he likes with a massive blue sky overhead, and they dig that. For our heroes, applying that lesson means smuggling drugs in their motorcycle gas tank in order to achieve the financial solvency necessary to live more comfortably, although it's unclear how much more comfortable they can get. They ride, you know, easy. Gasoline costs money, but otherwise the farmland-hopping duo seems set as they roll on through God's Country toward New Orleans. Summer is freedom, and this film's got freedom in spades.
As the year comes to a close, many people are assembling their best and worst of the year lists. This can also inspire people to look back at some of the best and worst of previous years. While Kevin Costner's infamous 1995 box office behemoth Waterworld is fondly remembered by some (evidenced by the possibly surprising RottenTomatoes score of 43%), most people remember it for its cost overruns and ballooning budget that threatened to break Universal's bank. (Spoiler alert: Even though Waterworld was famous for its massive budget that wasn't even remotely recouped at the U.S. box office, it eventually broke even with international numbers, home video sales, and other ancillary revenue streams.) I fall in the column of people who thought the film was a bit of a turkey. Sure, it was impressive in some respects, but the story and characters weren't enough to keep me interested. There was also this little thing called "science" that bothered me throughout the film. This wasn't a sticking point for other famous flops from the 90s like Cutthroat Island, The 13th Warrior, and Costner's other albatross The Postman. Those really weren't science fiction per se. But Waterworld was. And looking back almost twenty years, that got me thinking: How realistic were the events of Waterworld?
10 Scenes We Love From 'True Romance'
Features By Christopher Campbell on September 8, 2013 | Comments (3)Tony Scott's True Romance is probably one of my top ten all-time favorite movies, which is kind of weird since Badlands is one of my top five all-time favorite films. Or maybe it's appropriate that this is the case. I'm sure that one of the reasons I fell in love with this movie is because of how directly it's inspired by and references the earlier Terrence Malick film. Notice I make the distinction between movies and films. Scott made movies, Malick makes films. Scott also made a movie I like that directly references another of my all-time favorite films (Enemy of the State –> The Conversation). I was sad when Scott died particularly because I was hoping he'd eventually cover all my top shelf titles (just imagine what he could have done with Duck Soup!). Then again, maybe he'd have just redone himself, the way he did with Domino, which is like a bad remake of True Romance. Anyway, True Romance turns 20 years old this week. Warner Bros. released the movie on September 10, 1993, and it came in at #3 for its opening weekend, behind reigning champ The Fugitive and fellow newcomer Undercover Blues (uh?). In honor of the anniversary, let's take a look at some scenes we love. It was hard to narrow down, of course, so we went with major character moments.
Dennis Hopper is fucking awesome. I use the present tense there because the man, though gone, is eternal. At least when it comes to his art. He definitely had some experiences. Several that no one could be proud of, but he also came to represent a free wheeling sensibility that came with defying the establishment while learning from it. The man's resume remains formidable (and it will only continue to grow with more "Very Special Thanks" entries). So instead of listing his best movies, take your pick. You can probably name 10 you love just off the top of your head. There are a ton of them. So here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from a real easy rider.
32 Things We Learned From the 'True Romance' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on August 23, 2012 | Comments (3)The moviegoing world was saddened earlier this week when it was learned director Tony Scott had died. Despite the manner of his death, it's no less sad when a filmmaker such as Scott, who continued making films well into his 60, had many more films to helm. We felt it was time to hear some filmmaking insight from the man himself, which leads us to True Romance. The movie itself is a modern classic, an energetic tale of love, drugs, and a whole bunch of bullets courtesy of fledgling – at the time – screenwriter Quentin Tarantino. He also provides a commentary for the film, a rarity for the Pulp Fiction writer/director, but we'll cover that another time. This is Tony Scott's time, and here, without further ado, are all the things we learned listening to him speak about his film, True Romance.
Celebrate Freedom with 12 American Movies From the Criterion Collection
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on July 4, 2012 | Comments (1)Of the 600+ films in The Criterion Collection, almost 200 are listed as from the United States. While not all of these films are explicitly thematically based around life in the US, the American selections for the Collection do make up a mosaic of diverse perspectives on life in this country, proving that there is no sustainable solitary understanding of what it means to be an "American," but there exists instead an array of possibilities for interpreting American identity. What the American films do have in common, though, is provide proof that excellent films have been made in the US for quite some time. So, after exhausting yourself with Independence Day Parades, firecracker-lighting, and Budweiser, settle down with a great American movie. Here are a dozen great titles from the Criterion Collection about "America" and "freedom" in the many senses of those terms.
Did 'Speed' Steal the Thunder From 'Die Hard With a Vengeance' By Getting Released a Year Earlier?
Features By Nathan Adams on July 3, 2012 | Comments (3)If one were to conduct a scientific study meant to determine what the most successful action movie of the 90s was, chances are pretty dang good that Speed would be near the top of the candidates for consideration. A success both financially and critically, this high-octane tale of a bomb on a perpetually moving bus solidified Keanu Reeves as one of Hollywood's go-to leading men, launched the gigantic career of Sandra Bullock, and even gave its director, Jan de Bont, a success to add to his resume. All of that should be enough to solidify Speed's place as one of the most important 90s action movies already, and we haven't even factored in how it also managed to introduce the phrase, "Pop quiz, hotshot," into the cultural lexicon. So, pop quiz, hotshot: Die Hard was the greatest action movie ever made, but its sequel, Die Hard 2, was a derivative bore churned out by one of the most prolific manufacturers of schlock of the last few decades, Renny Harlin. What do you do? You get the director of the original, the inimitable John McTiernan, to come back for the third film, Die Hard With a Vengeance. DHWAV, from what I can tell, isn't hated. It's widely considered to be the second-best entry in the Die Hard franchise, it certainly made its makers some money, and it doesn't get derided as the death of the franchise like the belated fourth sequel, Live Free or Die Hard, does. But it doesn't get […]
Exploring The Twilight Zone #106: He's Alive
Exploring the Twilight Zone By Rob Hunter on November 23, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWith the entire original run of The Twilight Zone available to watch instantly, we're partnering with Twitch Film to cover all of the show's 156 episodes. Are you brave enough to watch them all with us? The Twilight Zone (Episode #106): "He's Alive" (airdate 1/24/63) The Plot: A street-corner neo-Nazi grows disillusioned with the quality of the crowds who listen to his fascist rants before beating the sauerkraut out of him. Then he meets the ghost of man much more adept at raising a furor among the masses. The Goods: Pete the Nazi (Dennis Hopper) is getting pretty sick of seeing his message of hate ignored by people who'd rather beat him up than buy into his rhetoric. The latest incident leaves him with a busted lip and a bad case of depression, but at his lowest moment he receives a very special visitor. The man stays hidden in the shadows, but he speaks with authority about how to engage the people by identifying with their fears. Pete listens and learns, and soon he's drawing the crowds and the respect he's always wanted. But then the mysterious man in silhouette begins giving Pete orders. And telling him to kill the kindly old Jew who's been like a father to Pete since he was a boy.
Over/Under: 'Hoosiers' vs. 'Cool Runnings'
Features By Nathan Adams on November 15, 2011 | Comments (4)Hoosiers is one of those films that somehow finds a way to strike a chord with nearly everyone who watches it. There are some movies that are just mainstream right down to their DNA. There's this, there's The Shawshank Redemption, maybe a Forrest Gump; they get mentioned as people's favorite movies with far greater frequency than anything else. And I'm not talking about cinema buffs when I say people, I'm talking about your grandma, the guy who works on your car, the grandma that works on your car. You know, regular people. Since it contains one of the big starring roles of Gene Hackman's career and it was directed by David Anspaugh, who repeated his success at telling an Indiana sports tale with Rudy, that should probably come as no surprise. Disney is maybe the most mainstream production company in the movie business. From the very beginning they've focused on creating wholesome entertainment that the whole family can enjoy together. In the early 90s one of those attempts at making movies for the whole family was Cool Runnings, a John Candy starring bobsled movie that most people might describe as a "guilty pleasure." It gets lumped in with other 90s sports movies that Disney made like The Mighty Ducks and Air Bud, movies that you can look back at with nostalgia, but if you were to watch them today would look about as ridiculous as a team of Jamaicans showing up to the Winter Olympics with a bobsled.
Criterion Files #545: The Redefinition of the American Dream in "Easy Rider"
Criterion Files By Adam Charles on July 6, 2011 | Comments (1)As a relatively young person, far too young to speak meaningfully about an important era of American culture, it's difficult for me to ascribe any sense of value even unto my own words about a picture that encapsulates and represents an alternate ideology of real American freedom than what we consider as being truly "free." When we think of freedom we think of rights and when we think of American we think of the dream. We have the right to be happy and we have the freedoms to pursue it.
Criterion Files #544: Bob Rafelson, The Monkees, and Victor Mature Give You 'Head'
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on June 29, 2011 | Comments (1)For the rest of the summer, Adam and Landon will be focusing on films included in the Criterion Collection released by the legendary BBS Production Company whose anti-establishment films rocked the world of Hollywood in the late 1960s and early 1970s. So dust of your old LPs, set out on the highway, and embrace your countercultural sensibilities with one of the most eccentric and essential stories of New Hollywood. When rummaging through the Criterion Collection's available box sets, one thing becomes abundantly clear: the serious and traditional role that authorship has played in forming both the Collection and its reputation. Whether it's five films by John Cassavetes, Sergei Eisenstein's sound years, or Truffaut's cinematic adventures of Antoine Doinel, the Collection places the director as the primary author of the text, just as they do when ascribing possession to individual titles ("Orson Welles's F for Fake," for instance). Then came the BBS set, which frames authorship to a group of films not because of the signatures of the directors who made each individual title, but as a group effort through the umbrella of a production company. BBS may refer specifically to Bob Rafelson, Bert Schneider, and Steve Blauner, but the talent pool that determined the artistic output of this company was hardly exclusive to them, incorporating the then-young talents of Dennis Hopper, Peter Bogdanovich, Jack Nicholson, and Henry Jaglom. None of these figures solely inhabited clear and exclusive occupational signposts like "writer," "director," "producer," or "actor," but a combined contributions to […]
Movie News After Dark: Rom-Coms, Jocks, Superman, Dennis Hopper's Crazy Photos, and Jodie Foster <3s Mel Gibson
Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 17, 2011 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? This is a question that I am almost never asked, but I will answer it for you anyway. Movie News After Dark is FSR's late-night secretion, a column dedicated to all of the news stories that slip past our daytime editorial staff and make it into my curiously chubby RSS 'flagged' box. It will (but is not guaranteed to) include relevant movie news, links to insightful commentary and other film-related shenanigans. I may also throw in a link to something TV-related here or there. It will also serve as my place of record for being both charming and sharp-witted, but most likely I will be neither of the two. I write this stuff late at night, what do you expect?
Every Sunday, Film School Rejects presents a movie that was made before you were born and tells you why you should like it. This week, Old Ass Movies presents the story of a gritty ranch hand who makes it big with black gold, a feud between two families, and the emptiness of wealth in making a man complete. No one drinks anyone else's milkshake, but a bunch of wine bottles get smashed. So do a lot of lives.
Disc Spotlight: Apocalypse Now – Full Disclosure Edition
Disc Spotlight By Rob Hunter on November 5, 2010 | Comments (1)I believe it was Robinson Crusoe who once said "Fess up, Friday" after discovering a urine puddle on his straw shack's linoleum floor. As revolutionary as that statement was almost three hundred years ago, it took a young man by the name of William B. Goss to bring it into the digital age. Thanks to his initiative, #fessupfriday is the most-used hashtag in Twitter's four decades of existence. There are certain movies that every cinephile should have seen, but only the brave foolhardy movie lovers immune to ridicule actually admit to the acknowledged classics that have so far eluded them. Which brings me to Francis Ford Coppola's epic Vietnam adventure, Apocalypse Now. #fessupfriday
