The family of a Mesa grandmother shot to death just days before Christmas fears that someone else will have to be killed before the case is solved.
Loris Crandell-Bath, 59, was fatally shot as she sat at a red light near Hermosa Vista Drive and Gilbert Road on Dec. 22. No arrests have been made, despite a $3,500 reward offered by the Mesa Public Safety Foundation in conjunction with the Silent Witness program.
Crandell-Bath's son-in-law, Mel Burch, who expressed concerns that another killing might have to occur to catch the killer, said his hopes are hinged upon Silent Witness.
"The police have said they've got Silent Witness information on some juvenile suspects," Burch said. "That's where Silent Witness comes in. It would be nice if someone felt sorry and gave the police the information they need."
Mesa detective Tim Gaffney said the department is still tracking down several Silent Witness leads.
"We have been provided information on potential suspects, but so far nothing through our investigation has led us to suspects in this particular case," Gaffney said. "At this point, we're not able to comment on specific leads for fear it could hinder the investigation."
Gaffney said detectives also hope someone will come forward with vital information in the case. "We'd like to bring closure to the family," he said.
Burch said his wife, DaLawna, still reaches for the phone to call her mother and their youngest child still includes Crandell-Bath in her nightly prayers.
Police asked that anyone with information on the Crandell-Bath case to call Silent Witness at (800) 343-8477 or the Mesa Police Department at (480) 644-2211.

The eventual winner, Mike Krapfl from Ames, Iowa, parlayed his league win into that ride this past weekend at Iowa Speedway.
Here's his story.
Congrats to Mike! I also played and didn't finish as well. Miss the fantasy league this year. Unfortunately, it didn't have enough dedicated players to continue.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you and everyone else who played!
The league started out with a lot of people, but as the season went on and more and more people were out of the running, as you said, the number of picks dropped dramatically. But that wasn't the big problem. It turned into WAY more work and much more time consuming than I had anticipated and chose not to bring it back this year.
I've been working on coming up with a more automated system with weekly E-mail reminders and other upgrades over the summer/winter and hopefully it'll come back for 2012.
Also hoping to put together some type of weekly prize to keep everyone interested through the whole year.
Fingers crossed for a return next Feb/March-ish!

Time Out Ratings :
<strong>Rating: </strong>3/5
Episode two
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, David Attenborough's head must currently resemble a giant blushing beetroot. Stylistically at least, this four-part series charting the natural phenomena that accompanies the changing of the seasons (this week: spring) is hugely indebted to the octogenarian documentary maker, with more slow-motion and time-lapse footage than you can shake a stoat at. It's even got that ten-minute 'making of' bit at the end that nobody bothers watching.
Unfortunately, as quaintly charming as it is, the substance doesn't quite match up. The bit about the short-lived mayflies, for example, has been done a thousand times before, while shots of caterpillars munching on oak leaves and blooming daffodils are straight out of your GCSE biology teacher's VHS collection. There's a little bit of warts 'n' all Darwinian grit in there (if you've never seen a seagull neck a duckling, brace yourself), but for the most part this feels like the sort of thing you could set an episode of 'Songs of Praise' to.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Skiddle&Skaddle!
Facts about Skiddle&Skaddle
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Skiddle&Skaddle's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Skiddle and Skaddle are two brothers who are buddies and enjoy playing and cuddling together. They were found behind a school as stray kittens and have seen the vet, tested, up to date on shots and are great little guys to have around to cuddle and play with. Please contact us if you would like to meet with them.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Skiddle&Skaddle, a Raritan Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Raritan, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in Raritan.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Raritan already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Raritan breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Raritan paves the way for another one to be saved.

Product Description
The Cquartz UK Edition (aka CQUK) is a specially formulated version of the popular Cquartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Protection. This edition is based on the same technology as the regular Cquartz, however it has a few slight improvements for cold temperature application, and specially for the UK while it works great anywhere. CQUK has 70% SiO2 with 99.9% purity, making it the first ever nano silica coating which has such concentration! This high purity percentage ensures having the most transparent glass coating over the surface, high levels of water repellency and long lasting paint protection from dirt, road salt, ice, snow, and other environmental contamination. This coating is extremely easy to use in any temperature, from 41 to 86 degrees and no matter how cold, hot or humid the application is exactly the same. Before applying it you should thoroughly wash the surface with the CarPro Iron X Iron Remover and the CarPro Tar X Tar & Adhesive Remover, which removes the really stubborn contaminants. Next polish the surface to remove oxidation and swirls and then use the CarPro Eraser Intensive Oil and Polish Cleaner to remove any oils left behind by a polish. Follow the application instructions listed below and when you are done you will be stunned by how outstanding the paint looks! If that is not enough, the coating will last years, not weeks or months! Protect your paint year round with the CarPro Cquartz UK Edition!Application Instructions:
- Wash the car with shampoo and dry the car thoroughly, prepare and polish if needed. Remove any oils using the CarPro Eraser Intensive Oil and Polish Cleaner.
- Apply the product with one of the included CarPro Suede Microfiber Cloths around the included sponge.
- Spread the coating in criss-cross or circular motions nonstop, panel by panel, until surface feels dry
- Buff it off with the Suede MF towels included
- Use the Reload after 30 min to an hour to prevent water spotting during the drying period
- After 24 hours the coating will be completely cured. Keep away from the elements (snow, rain, etc.) for this amount of time.
Professional Detailer Reviews
In a market that is now flooded with various coating options, this product is priced very competitively! I often refer to it as the absolute best "bang for your buck" coating. It offers extremely good performance in terms of protection, durability, and appearance, and is one of the least expensive options available. You simply can't beat that!
- Product Review: CarPro Cquartz UK Edition by Zach McGovern
Customer Reviews
I am loving the ease of use on CQ in general. The U.K. edition is no different and applies just as easy, and the results are great. My most recent application was to a 2014 Corolla in pearl white. After minor polishing and application of CQUK you could not even look at the car in direct sunlight, it was THAT shiny! Amazing results and in my opinion, one of the easiest coatings to apply. I seriously believe that anyone could apply this coating after reading the instructions. I know some individuals freak out about the application process however there is nothing to freak out about! This is my go to choice for coatings going forth.
If they had a monthly "auto send" program, I'd sign up! CQUK is quite easy to work with (if you follow the directions to a "T".), gives phenomenal gloss, water beading, and protection. I've used a few different coatings and it's hands down my favorite. As with any coating, you've got to be careful during the application process. I found it's much easier w/two people (one to apply, one to follow behind buffing it clean). It's on my own car, and I won't hesitate for a second to recommend it to my clients!
Reviewed by Felix P. on 10/19/2014
Would they buy this item again? Yes
Pros of this cquk, id say has to be the shine as its intense and i was very impressed. Obviously protection would come in 2nd place. Cons of this, i would have to say is application. My experience using this product wasn't great but it was my first time installing this particular coating on my personal car. As i have used others i noticed that the flash time was quick for me, i also noticed i did not have enough applicators as they also quickly hardened. My results were good but could of been better. If your gonna go with this coating i would recommend extra applicators and work one panel at a time. If you have a friend handy it helps cause you will find your self opening and trying to close the bottle finding a safe place to place it while holding an applicator and a towel at the same time. All in all its a great coating i left a few highspots on my black subaru sti but that easily came off with a hand polish and orange pad and some marring on one door from a hardened applicator but i will address that issue later. Ive learned from this application and it will make future applications easier and hope it helps others who read this too.

Harrisburg City Islanders News Release -- www.cityislanders.com
Tuesday, June 5, 2012
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Another overtime, another win.
The Harrisburg City Islanders needed extra time for the second consecutive game in this year's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, but they upset Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls 3-1 at Skyline Sports Complex on Tuesday night. Sainey Touray and recent pickup Lucky Mkosana scored in overtime to send the Islanders into the quarterfinals of the Open Cup.
After regulation ended tied 1-1, Harrisburg coach Bill Becher gathered his side near midfield, preparing for the end to another gutsy performance by the home team. They came out firing, taking the lead on a Touray chip in the 94th minute. After being stuck in their own end, the Islanders broke out quickly with Jason Pelletier leading the charge. The crafty midfielder passed it to Touray, who lobbed it over a sliding Ryan Meara to put the Islanders ahead 2-1.
Mkosana, who was playing in his second game for the Islanders, added a late goal in the 118th to seal the victory. Off another counter-attack, Mkosana found himself inside the penalty area, where he was found by second-half substitute Yann Ekra, who laced a pass right to the foot of the Dartmouth product, whose goal gave the Islanders a 3-1 lead they would not relinquish.
On their heels for most of the match, the Islanders fell into a defensive shell, most of their opportunities coming from counters. They executed their counterpunching strategy to perfection, squeezing the athletic Red Bulls attack and pushing them toward the flanks.
Despite star players Thierry Henry and Joel Lindpere not making the trip, New York dominated possession, ending with 17 shots to Harrisburg's 10 and earning 14 corners to the Islanders' two.
Goalkeeper Nick Noble, who ended up with seven saves on the night, said after the match "that's why they call it soccer, not possession." The Islanders, who lived dangerously all match, needed another stellar effort from their hot goalkeeper. And to the 1,477 in attendance, he didn't disappoint.
In regulation, Touray opened the scoring after running mate Brian Ombiji drove, spun and dished in the 13th minute. A leg injury would later end Ombiji's night in the 89th. After halftime, New York finally capitalized on the constant pressure they had exerted on the Islanders as Connor Lade, who scored in New York's previous Open Cup game against Charleston, blasted one past goalkeeper Nick Noble in the 58th minute to tie the game.
With the win, Harrisburg moves into the quarterfinals and will face the Philadelphia Union, who defeated D.C. United 2-1 in overtime on Tuesday. The quarterfinal matchup will take place June 26 at PPL Park.
New York returns to MLS play on Sunday, June 17 for a nationally televised game at the Chicago Fire on NBC Sports Network. The Islanders, meanwhile, will host their eighth consecutive game Saturday when the Wilmington Hammerheads make the trip to Skyline Sports Complex. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Thieves target, ransack Marion County Sheriff's Deputy's jail wagon
Part of weapon, boxes of handcuffs stolen
INDIANAPOLIS - A fully marked Marion County Sheriff's jail wagon was struck by thieves overnight on the southeast side of Indianapolis.
A sheriff's deputy had the brown van parked in his driveway near East Thompson Road and South Arlington Avenue when he found all the doors flung open and the interior lights on Tuesday morning.
He told investigating officers that he wasn't feeling well and had apparently forgotten to lock the van in his driveway.
Officers wrote in their theft report that the van had been ransacked, and the thieves got away with police gear and one part of an automatic AR15 assault weapon.
The component, known as an AR15 stripped lower receiver, attaches to the spot where ammunition is fed into the rifle when the weapon is fully assembled. It is not capable of firing rounds or functioning as a weapon on its own. The value of the stolen unit was $119, police said.
Also stolen from the van was a sheriff's tactical raid vest, valued at $100 since it did not contain any armor plating.
The commander of the Marion County Jail, Lt. Col. Gary Tingle, said the raid vest raises concerns about police impersonators using the gear.
"It's something we don't want out there," he said.
The thieves also grabbed nine blue boxes that contain groups of handcuffs and shackles for transporting prisoners. The handcuff boxes were valued at $1,350.
The deputy told investigating officers that his personal car was also in the driveway and it had also been ransacked. He said the thieves swiped his $150 Bosch power drill from inside the Ford Bronco SUV.
After discovering the thefts, the deputy said he recalled seeing a suspicious dark gray car with several teenagers cruising slowly through the neighborhood the night before, but he was unable to provide a thorough description of the car.
The deputy said the drill and the AR15 component belonged to him, but the handcuffs and raid jacket were issued by the Marion County Sheriff's Department.
Officers reported no leads on finding the thieves.

I just don't love dance but I respect dance. It allows someone to keep their body and mind free and fresh without focusing time on gym, diet and so on. When I go for dance class I really forget what the rest of the world is doing. It's just simply tap your feet and move your body as the music goes. Dance helps to make your mind fresh; after performing one feels so relaxed from deep inside...

How To Find The Perfect Pair Of Jeans
When you think of men and essential wardrobe pieces, jeans are probably the garment that first comes to mind. Almost every man owns a pair of jeans, even if they were seduced by the massive popularity of chinos in the last two years, denim still remains the quintessential men's style staple.
However, for something that is so popular, it is amazing that wearing them seems to be such a problem for men around the world. Of course, wearing them isn't really the problem, but finding a pair of jeans that fits seems to be.
Dangers of Denim
The biggest problem with denim is that men haven't a clue how to find the right fit. While jeans are produced so men can wear their actual size yet wear skinny or relaxed styles, for example, many think choosing such a cut means they have to go for a smaller size.
The message is simple; a pair of skinny jeans doesn't mean you buy two sizes too small, and ditto for a scenario with relaxed fit jeans and going bigger.
That said there's more to the perfect pair of jeans than just finding the right size.
Knowing What Looks Good
We've spoke about the cut just now, and there's no doubt it is an important part of buying denim. After the size, it is the most important thing to get right.
Mastering the cut of denim is all about knowing what looks good for your frame. The best approach to take is simply to match the denim to your own frame. Therefore, if you're slim, then slim, straight leg, and skinny jeans are the best choices. If you have a more athletic or fuller frame, opt for straight leg or relaxed fit jeans, as these are wider and will be more comfortable as well as looking much better.
Your default option if in doubt is always straight leg jeans. Don't think the most generic cut means you have to wear boring denim; brands such as G Star Jeans and Levi's offer some of the best looking straight leg denim you can get. Simple shouldn't mean cheap!
How to Pick Colors
The final challenge with denim surrounds color. As jeans have tried to keep up with chinos over the last two years, we have started to see brighter and bolder denims appearing in shops.
Our take on this is relatively simple; blue or black is where you should be going with denim. Yes, you can enjoy different fades and washes, but if reds or greens tempt you, stick to chinos. When picking your denim, think about what you're going to be wearing on your feet, too.
Relaxed fit jeans probably won't look great if you've paired them up with formal footwear, and chunky shoes might look a little ridiculous if the rest of your look is skinny and figure hugging.
Moving Forward With Denim
We all love denim, but should be acutely aware of its ability to make us look silly if we don't choose it correctly. Consider the size, fit, color, and what else you're wearing, and you'll find the perfect pair of jeans is easy to find.

Now that I have finally wrestled control of the computer from my husband...
I usually hate Wal-Mart but was in there yesterday checking out the craft section and decided to see if they had anything marked down in the garden center. Bingo! Perennials were marked down to 50 cents! This one (Ferguson Road in Cincinnati) had mostly daylilies (lots of 'Bonanza') and Asiatic lilies, but also a few hollyhocks, dahlias and hardy mums. Most looked pretty good for being horribly root-bound. |

Free Will and Soul-Making Theodicies
The evidential problem of evil presents the theist with the burden of explaining why an almighty and all-good God would permit evil. Many such reasons, known as theodicies, have been proposed as solutions to this problem. Two of the more promising among these are the free will theodicy and the soul-making theodicy. While each of these approaches has strong proponents, rare are those who advocate the use of bothin response to the problem of evil. In fact, it is often the case that defenders of one are strong critics of the other. Given that theists, and more specifically Christian apologists, share the conviction that the evidential objection from evil fails and that theism is quite reasonable despite the reality of evil, it is curious that there isn't more interest in embracing both of these theodicies as helpful responses to the problem. In what follows I want to offer a comparative analysis of these two theodicies in hopes of both understanding the divide between their proponents and making the case that the two are best used in tandem when dealing with the problem of evil. Towards the latter end I hope to show that these theodicies have more in common than has been traditionally thought and that their differences have more to do with their divergent aims than their relative merits as potential solutions to the problem of evil.

I got an e-mail from King Arthur Flour the other day which included a recipe for Irish Soda Bread Muffins. They looked good, and I gave them a try yesterday. With the caraway seeds, they are a little savory, and really have a good flavor. Might need a little more liquid than what the recipe calls for though, I did.
Irish Soda Bread Muffins Recipe By :King Arthur Flour Website
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a standard muffin pan; or line with papers, and grease the papers. 2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, currants or raisins, and caraway seeds. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk (or equivalent) and melted butter (or equivalent).
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling the cups about 3/4 full; the stiff batter will look mounded in the cups. Top dough with Sparkling white sugar. 5. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Tip the muffins in the pan, so their bottom don't get soggy. Remove them from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool. Serve them plain, or with butter and/or jam. Start to Finish Time:

NOTES : So who says Irish soda bread HAS to be made in a round or loaf pan? These coffee-break-sized muffins, bursting with tiny sweet currants and a hint (or a hit, your choice) of caraway, are the perfect offering for St. Patrick's Day -- particularly if you're looking to celebrate with something other than corned beef and cabbage! This is not at all a traditional Irish soda bread, which would be simply made with whole-wheat flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk. Thoroughly Americanized, these muffins have traveled a long, long way from their Irish origin -- as have most of us Irish-Americans. Nutr. Assoc. : 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 |

What's the texture like? Like soda bread or more muffiny? |
Ginger, they were similar to a "regular" muffin. |

One of buildings in the Cal Poly Police Department was evacuated Monday morning after a suspicious package was found outside police chief Bill Watton's office.
Around 8:30 a.m. a police department employee reported a backpack in the office building, which is typically closed off to the public. The San Luis Obispo County Bomb Task Force was called in to x-ray the package. Results showed suspicious wires, so a robot was brought in to open the backpack.
The task force found a laptop and stereo plug. The building was back open shortly after 11 a.m.

Artist goes on creative shopping spree, comes back with a gallery of animals.
When nineteen year old Tommy DiVita graduated from high school last year, he was accepted into thirteen art schools around the country, including UCLA. With so many opportunities ahead of him, the decision to attend California Institute of the Arts became clear after he visited the campus. The feeling of freedom to explore a variety of art forms was evident to Tommy, from the very first visit to the Cal Arts' campus. That freedom took form in the sculptures he displayed in a recent art exhibit inspired by a class assignment to create sculpture only from items found at the 99 Cent Store.
Tommy's vision to create animal sculptures was inspired by twelve different animal masks he'd found at the 99 Cent Store. The project took shape as he scoured the racks for plastic containers, laundry baskets, dolls, toys and even belts to create his own version of a modern day zoo including his elephant, gorilla, giraffe, zebra, pig, cat, rat, poodle, seal, rooster, dog, and even a puffin. The exterior of his creatures are just as interesting as the interior as the viewer discovers the corn on the cob in the belly of the rooster or the literal "little mermaid" inside the seal. According to Tommy, "When I create a piece I like it to be multifaceted."
Not your average 99Cent Store shopper, the Cal Arts student found himself becoming a "regular" at his local store as he became a familiar face among the staff, holding up a gorilla mask and a set of plastic bowls, envisioning the completed creature, made him an eclectic shopper. Tommy wanted to do something to honor the animals which inspired him. "I wanted to emphasize things that are stereotyped around animals," the Cal Arts freshmen stated.
With the exhibit over, Tommy hopes to use his sculptures to inspire future art projects, but in the mean time they will be keeping him company at his apartment. "I never throw anything away", the artist said. "I already have some photography projects in mind for the poodle and the elephant". Ever inspired, perhaps Tommy's work will inspire future budding artists to seek formal training in the arts at our very own California Institute of the Arts as well.

These people have learned that knowing the family stories can be just as much fun as knowing the names and dates:
I am currently trying to find out where my great-great grandfather James D. Farrell came from in Ireland. He was born April 7, 1818 and came to the United States in 1834. In 1842, he married my great-great grandmother, Catharine O'Farrell in Philadelphia. She had come over when she was quite young in 1827 at the age of about 5. When two people of the same surname married it was considered a "cure," so she would sell excess fruits and vegetables that she canned to those who had someone ill in the hopes that the food would "cure" them.
My favorite story is about the time there was a very bad thunderstorm. My great-great grandmother, being the good Catholic that she was, got the bottle of holy water and sprinkled everyone with the water saying "Bless you." Imagine everyone's surprise the next morning when they realized she had grabbed the bottle of blueing for the laundry instead of the holy water. Everywhere and everyone was spotted with blueing!

Bear with me folks. Me and my wife just purchased our first house a few weeks ago and jumped right into some remodeling. First up paint and then floors. We started sanding last week as previous owners must have painted with blind folds on as their are paint globs and runs everywhere.
Anyway, I got really into it and started chugging away with a power sander to get rid of all the defects in the walls. As I am sanding yesterday and the dust is flying, it hits me, should I be concerned about lead paint? The house was built in 1968. So today i go out and buy a home testing kit. Better late than never. I have sanded the walls, window trim and baseboard trim of 3 rooms (Dining Room, Master BR and Bedroom Hallway). Good News:
Bad News:
As my wife was sanding the baseboards, she noticed the paint was easily peeling away. So she pulled it away revealing another layer. That layer i am unfortunately getting a positive reading. No kids yet, no pets. My question to you all, what extent can I go to remediate? I looked into this and understand i could get Child Guard Primer to encapsulate the baseboards? Should i remove the baseboards entirely? We didn't sand the family room yet, but my wife did remove the shoe molding in anticipation of having the floors refinished in two weeks, and some of the baseboard trim with lead is exposed now too. How concerned should we be? The lead paint looks to flake off only, the layer above that is which comes off easily (essentially peeling off) Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated. Quite honestly I dont know what to do. |
Follow-Up Postings:
From a personal safety standpoint, I would not worry about it too much as long as you take precautions when you are working with it. Information about those precautions are readily available. It might be worthwhile to replace the baseboards, however, because the word lead has become scary to many people and it might affect the resale value of the house even though it is irrational. |
- Posted by NJhomeowner (My Page) on Mon, Sep 12, 11 at 21:02
lol well, my wife went to town on the baseboard in the dining room with my sander removing all of the top coat of paint exposing all the lead based paint. All she wore was a cheap nuisance mask (not hepa rated) and while we did tape the entranceway up, it is in no way officially contained. Baseboard trim is at min $15 per 8 feet. Child Guard is $55 a can. Should I suck it up and remove the baseboard and door trim or just go ahead and paint using the child guard? Oh the joys of homeownership |
The following is just my opinion, but, using the Child Guard will leave you with ugly baseboards and you will still have the lead paint stigma when you go to sell. Unless you have an historically significant house that should be preserved, I would remove and replace the trim. It isn't something you need to do today. But you should do it before your wife becomes pregnant - if that is in the plans. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about your exposure thus far, but a blood test for lead at your next physical exam could relieve any concerns you have. |
Being a paint contractor I deal with lead all the time. I think people do get carried away with the dangers of lead. Im sure your walls and ceiling where originally painted with lead paint, as well as your exterior siding. As long as you have a layer or in your case multiple layers of paint covering the lead base layer, it is contained at that point. It really cant hurt anything at that point. If it was me I would replace all the trim just because its a pretty easy fix considering. That way you wont have to worry about that part again. It will also look a lot better. The MDF baseboard works good, and paints well if your gonna paint it, and is rather inexpensive. Good luck! |
- Posted by NJhomeowner (My Page) on Tue, Sep 13, 11 at 7:50
Thanks for the advice everyone. I am going to suck it up and just remove baseboards now. It will help with my piece of mind, and it will make it easier to paint walls and refinish the floors next week. I may try to have door trim replaced asap as well we'll see. Thanks again. |

One of the most luxurious feeling lip balms I've ever tried. It glides onto my lips without any stick or greasy residue. Makes my lips feel soo plump and supple and leaves behind a gorgeous sheer red tint. The tube is also quite fancy looking compared to other balms out there. Would I buy this again? Maybe. The price just makes me cringe. It is worth it, but you can also very well find a lip balm of equal quality for a lower price value (ie korres lip butter).
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So I do think this is a good product in general, but the packaging is awful. I've had 4 tubes of these (between the Sephora birthday gift and receiving this as a Xmas gift) and 3 out of the 4 tubes have had a huge chunk of the product break off... and I didn't even twist it up a lot at all! I figured that was the problem with the first two, but apparently it just isn't made well. I like the texture of the balm, the color, and the SPF, but what's the point if you lose a huge amount of the product due to cheap packaging?
Am absolutely in love in the Fresh Sugar Rose lip treatments. They are really moisturizing and give a natural rose tint to my lips. It also smell really lovely and I like the metal screw packaging as well. As the balm is really soft, it can get smushed quite easily, so I don't take it out with me in case it melts. The price is really expensive for a tinted lipbalm, but I find it to be the best (have tried loads of other brands including Burts Bees and Neutrogena). There is also a lot of product left in the base of the bullet that can be scooped out once the lipbalm wears down.
Rose is definitely the best shade. Have tried a couple of others (Honey, Coral, Berry, Passion) but I find them too pigmented for a balm.
Oh no, I love this. I feel like Sephora is such a tease for giving us these for our birthdays and letting us know what we're missing! I really, really should not spend that much money on lip balm. I don't have a budget for that. But this stuff is so nice! I love it, but I hate that I love it.
In my experience, this lippy is probably the most moisturizing that I've tried. I put it on and it just melts on my lips (in a good way) and tends to stay put for quite a while, given how emollient it is. It doesn't make my sensitive lips flake, and I love the scent, and the fact that it doesn't have any funny taste to it, like most lip balms with SPF do for me. (for instance, I tried the Maybelline Baby Lips balm and couldn't stand the smell/taste of it, although it looked nice on.)
But ugh, I've almost used up my free tube already and am facing the prospect of buying a new, full-size one or moving on to something cheaper. I like the Nivea touch of color lip balm and the Burt's Bees tinted balms, but I do notice a difference! This does give better moisture that lasts longer. And the rosy glow it gives my lips is so pretty. Very subtle but so pretty, it makes my whole face glow. And it just smells so good! And the packaging is nice and sturdy, and I love that the cap won't just pop off and lead to the lippy coloring the inside of my purse or pocket (it's been known to happen! peace of mind is important!)
Oh, who am I kidding, I am totally going to relent and buy this. I guess the deciding factor is whether or not you often wear tinted lip balm. That's kind of a makeup staple for me, so I need something that ticks off all the boxes (moisture, pretty color, decent smell/taste, SPF) and that I enjoy using every day.

This is a decent product. The tint is so natural and moisturizing. My only complaint: how soft and melty it is, so it's really hard to have it on the go. Overall though, it is super over priced. Will not repurchase.
Like everyone else and their mom I got this, along with Sugar, as a birthday gift from Sephora. After cashing both tubes, I can see why people like it so much. It's like Fresh took everything about applying a tinted lip balm, and was like, "how can we make every step in this process more awesome, nay, the awesomest?" If only they weren't so prohibitively expensive....
Pros: Smells amaazing, moisturizes well. Feels good on the lips. The tube is super luxurious looking. The color looks natural and makes my lips look youthful and plump.
Cons: It can get a little melty if you take it south of the mason-dixon line in the summer. And, don't twist up too far because it will break and you will lose a $6 chunk of product. (breakage probably isn't as much of a issue with the full-sized version). Alas, the staying power could be a lot better. For color I much prefer the Clinique Almost Lipsticks, Revlon Lip Butters or Just Bitten Kissable balm stains. Also, they're expensive, but that didn't stop me for gifting a few friends the mini trio set that was available over the holidays.

I love love love this product. It is my go to lip balm, and the tinted colour is perfect with my skin tone. But like many other people I keep having the same issue with it breaking. I've had 4 tubes now, and each time it breaks off and I find myself having to squish it back in.
I have a troubled relationship with my Sugar Rose Lip Treatment. There's so much to like about it, but it is an impractical product in most ways.
* Moisturizes and softens like no other product (even my beloved Korres lip butters)
* Smells Nice and Tastes Nice
* Imparts a beautiful, rosy MLBB glow
* Melts almost immediately if the temp rises above 60 degrees
* Breaks almost immediately no matter how gently you apply it
* Costs an arm and a leg
This is just not a product I can carry around in my makeup bag. It turns to goo if I leave it in a warm car. God forbid I should want to walk around with it in my pocket--that melts it as well. So, I have made a peace accord with this product by leaving it on my vanity and putting it on first thing in the morning, and then last thing at night after my Lush lip scrub. I'll buy it again because it works so well. I just wish it were a bit more durable.

I always get the sample on my Birthday or bribe someone else to give me their sample on their's from but now i want to buy one. It is a little expensive but i really like the color. You can wear it alone or under a lipstick to give it some moisture. It comes in sooo many colors I really need to some different shades. I will be buying soon!

Last week we saw that Nils's gift of $500,000 to a trust for relatives in 2012 was likely to yield about $200,000 in tax savings, by getting future gain and income out of his estate, and by avoiding State estate tax altogether. There is another potential benefit of current law that Nils did not take advantage of this time, having to do with the valuation of certain kinds of assets.
Let's say that instead of giving cash and securities, Nils had given a 25% interest in a $2 million investment partnership (or limited liability company) to the trust. Wouldn't this still be a $500,000 gift? The answer is pretty clearly no. Why? It has mostly to do with marketability and control.
If someone gives you $500,000 in cash and securities, you can sell them and go out and buy a half million dollar yacht. Great, huh? However, if you got a 25% interest in a $2 million investment partnership instead, it would be evidenced by a piece of paper certifying your ownership, that you could not use to buy that yacht. You'd have to sell the partnership interest, or persuade the other owners to liquidate the entity. However, most partnership agreements restrict the ability to sell to any but existing partners, who might not be buying. And your 25% wouldn't give you enough of a vote to force a liquidation. For these reasons your interest would likely remain illiquid, and worth something less than $500,000 in sale value. How much less? An expert would probably say about 30% less. So instead of a $500,000 yacht you'd have a piece of paper worth $350,000.
The IRS doesn't like this idea, that someone like Nils can give away 25% of $2 million and call it a $350,000 gift. They deride this as "discount" that shouldn't be allowed. You with your piece of paper, though, might feel the valuation at less than $500,000 is pretty valid. You can't use it to get that yacht, and to make things worse, if your managing partner (over whom you have little control) makes some bad investment decisions, your gift might further decline.
So if Nils's gift to trust had been in this form, $150,000 less of exemption might have been used. At the current Federal gift and estate tax rate of 35%, that computes to a further savings of about $50,000.
Despite the seeming validity of this concept of valuing minority interests, Congress has made noises about disallowing it. It's a possible topic when the Federal estate tax is revisited next year.

I would like to say i love my husband very much, we have only been married for 3 years and i's really worried this might all be in my head. From the moment I met my husband I knew he was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I do admit i was a very weak person back then and would do anything anyone asked of me because I did not want to upset, disappoint or hurt them. I don't do "No" very well even today, and most people use to walk all over me because of it. So when we met yes there was cheating, going out to see other woman (mainly his x) but I forgave him for all of that and as much as I would like to say i have forgotten it, I cannot, the pain is still to much for me to handle some times, but I do my best not bring it up again. Saying that he always begged me to give him another chance, being a Christian I have. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have to agree with your husband: IMO you _are_ being stupid. Stupid to stay with someone who cheats on you; does not support you in the things _you_ would like to do, while expecting you to roll over and let him do as he pleases; calls you names, belittles you in public and is dismissive of your feelings. Being a Christian does not mean you have to be a doormat. Why do you stay? |
I love him, and i guess my family being Christians as well have told me from day one, "there is no such thing as divorce" I don't see ground to leave, but lately i feel he is being a little abusive with the way he treats me mentally and emotionally. |
"...i guess my family being Christians as well have told me from day one, "there is no such thing as divorce" Uhmm I am imagining you are an adult, right? Who cares what your family (or your archaic religion's rules) say? YOU and you alone have the power to make your life not one of misery and feeling like a second class citizen. If you stay in this situation, then that is the choice you have made, so then yes in that case, stop whining about things you had the ability to change but didn't. |
The Christian religion isn't archaic. Your and your family's interpretation of it is. Until death do us part does NOT mean through abuse, cheating, and the treatment that you are enduring. Your husband has broken the marriage contract and the deal. He has effectively ended the marriage and made it a farce. You have every right to move on. |
A _little_ abusive? Honey, he's been abusive since before day 1. Affairs with other women while you were dating and after you married, telling you to F off on your first New Years (and abandoning you to spend it with his friends and one really special lady friend apparently), calling you stupid and pathetic, ignoring you when he's home..........does he actually have to start beating you for you to admit he's abusive? Don't you think you deserve better? |
suzieque ,sorry, I meant that the rules were archaic, not the religion....should have swapped the words around. |
- Posted by readinglady (My Page) on Wed, Dec 19, 12 at 18:39
You haven't broken your marriage vows; he has. For a marriage to be a marriage in the true sense both parties have to commit. He hasn't. Since it isn't a marriage, you have no obligation to the union, Christian or not. I am trying to figure out what benefit you derive from being married to someone who cheats, lies and humiliates you. This is love???? It sounds like you've been so emotionally battered and beaten down you have no sense of yourself left and no ability to sort out what's real from what's not. Otherwise you'd never accept the ridiculous things he says. A strong woman would have stood up to him long ago and said, "You're being an *ss." Christian doesn't = victim. Abusive spouses troll for their victims just as child predators do, so it's likely he "chose" you because he recognized your susceptibility and played on your insecurities. It sounds like you're in OZ. If so, you have a medical system and some sort of affordable counseling and support network for victims of abuse. Search out the resources and find people who can help you. Don't depend on him to support you because it's not going to happen. Any partner who finds it tiresome to support a woman with an ectopic pregnancy can't be counted on for anything. Frankly, I think your husband is a waste of air. |
Do you really want to wake up one morning 5 years from now and look back on all this still covered with shame and apprehension as you are now? Get out now. Start a new life. Oh, and I think it's the Christian thing to do as well. |
I hope you are able to hear the excellent counsel you're being given. Here's a quote from your first post "I really do start to wonder if I�m going crazy. If I am being silly or stupid and over thinking everything". Are you kidding me? I bet it'd be clear as a bell to you if a friend of yours had that happening to them and asking your advice. That guy has no clue what being a husband, or even a decent human being is about. If you were my sister I wouldn't think twice of telling you to leave him and I'd come help you pack and move your stuff. And I've also been a Christian - a deeply committed one - for the last 33 years. My wife has been a Christian all her life and she'd give me the boot in a New York second if I treated her the way your roommate (sorry, I can't call him a husband) is treating you. Yes, it's true God doesn't believe in divorce. But that's an IDEAL. God doesn't for a minute fold His hands across His chest and say, "I said it's for life and that's final". He sees what's going on. He's not blind. Jesus also said His people were given divorce "because of the hardness of their hearts". Well guess what? Your roommate has an incredibly hard heart towards you and has betrayed his marriage vows. Don't hate him. Pity him. Pray for him. And leave him. As a Christian even if he pleads with you, claims it's all your imagination and you're "silly" or whatever, I'd recommend you have someone you trust to help you have some backbone. At a minimum I'd separate from him. And I would never take him back based on words. I would never trust this man without a demonstration over time - I'd put him on probation - and I'd need to see evidence of a 100% change on his part (that's what repentance means BTW, it's a sorrow for sin and a TURNING AWAY from it). Even then, you're under no obligation to take him back, I'm just saying the only conditions I'd agree it was possible, if you absolutely had to. Jesus also said divorce was acceptable in the case of adultery - which if everything is as you've described it, he's done. As far as I'm concerned that even includes porn. You didn't mention that but if he's into that too that makes him an adulterer in my book. |
Whoa! Porn is adultery...Heck I though porn was a great tool to help keep actual adultery from happening...Whoa! What an easy way out...having a no porn clause... But uhh for real, anytime someone makes you question your sanity you should leave, unless you are like," I love you so much I feel crazy." Something like that is crazy, but constantly hearing you are soft minded will make you believe that you are, and that isn't right... Then again my husband is jealous and constantly accusing me of cheating or not wanting to be with him, and I literally never leave the house...ever. If I do happen to go somewhere--the store, the kids grandparents, anywhere other than home he will call me...frequently. I have gotten 3 or 4 calls in a couple of hours numerous times...He continually checks my phone, facebook, email, everything...It for real has made me not want to be with him anymore, and i tell him things, what your guy says to you. "it's all in your head, stop asking me that, so on and so forth..." Perhaps I am like your guy, and my husband feels like you do. I do know that my husband being so freaking whiny needy and insecure all the time, has put me in the danger of cheating category...I'm not going to, but I find myself being attracted to other men these days. It didn't used to be an issue not cheating on him, but now I have to think about it...Could it be because he wore me down with all the constant worrying and asking and snooping and everything...I don't know. But your guy is actively cheating often by your description, so you either have to stay knowing that he is stepping out with other ladies...(because you know he is)... and if you can't he happy with sharing him, then go out and find someone that is happy with just you. |

Okay, I agree with the statement if you append "ineffective at preventing
brain injuries" (including concussions, which I consider to be brain
injuries). As I said above, if minor injuries are your concern then there
are more effective prevention strategies.

I bought 3 packages of reindeer moss at the dollar store to use in a centerpiece at a club lunch 3 weeks from now. My beagle, scent hound that she is, discovered how good they smelled and when I wasn't in the room, tore all the packages apart, just to smell the moss.
That's not the problem. I cleaned it all up, and put the stuff back in bags, out of her reach. The problem is, it stinks a little. Does this stuff always smell like the beach? It's very slightly damp, but not rotten or moldy. Technically, it's lichen, the stuff that caribou eat all winter. How can I use it as part of a centerpiece when it smells like seaweed? It's not altogether unpleasant, but it doesn't seem appropriate or appetizing. Is there a way to disinfect or hide the aroma? What do other crafters do? Should I find a substitute like sheet moss or sphagnum? |
Follow-Up Postings:
had to laugh at the beagle... :) how about some eucolyptus (Spelling??) to 'work with the smell"-?? |
- Posted by concretenprimroses (My Page) on Thu, Nov 24, 11 at 6:57
I sometimes have found it in the wild and I don't remember it having a smell like the beach. It sounds like something that happened in the processing or packaging. I would try rinsing one clump of it in clean cold water. Don't return it to the packaging, maybe put it in a paper bag once it has mostly dried so that it can continue to dry a bit without getting brittle. Good luck! Post a pic of your centerpieces. Kathy |
I have found that once out of the bag and allowed to air out/breathe a bit, the smell dissipates. To help this process you can stuff it into a net bag and leave it outside for a few days. |
- Posted by luvs2click (My Page) on Fri, Nov 25, 11 at 19:14
I kinda like its earthy smell! It does seem to dissipate after being out of the bag awhile. |
- Posted by pink_overalls (My Page) on Sun, Nov 27, 11 at 19:32
The scent IS lessening. I've spread it out in the laundry room, so the air can dry it. Two weeks to go. |
- Posted by pink_overalls (My Page) on Fri, Dec 30, 11 at 9:45
I did use the moss, but I ended up spraying it with an apple-cinnamon air freshener (it seemed like the Christmas-sy thing to do), and then leaving all 9 of them in the garage for over a week. No one seemed to notice the scent. I blogged about how I made them, in case you want to see pictures. |

I love it. It is beautiful IMO, it is completely functional, but there are some nits and nats that need completion. I need to hang a light over the island still, but it is here and will be installed on Wednesday. I need to paint a strip of plugmold. I need a clock. There are some in-drawer organizers to be purchased and put into action. We need stools. Throw rugs would be nice. But, I think of most of these things as accessories that I can't actively shop for, I need to stumble upon serendipitously. Is that bad? |

Hey, yo, I think she's eyeing me from afar
Guajila Guan-tana-mera
Yo, I wrote this in Haiti, overlooking Cuba
I asked her what's her name, she said, 'Guantanamera'
Remind me of an old latin song, my uncle used to play
On his old forty-five when he used to be alive
She went from a young girl, to a grown woman
Like a Virgin, so she sex with no average mahn
Peep the figure, move like a caterpillar
Fly like a butterfly, let your soul feel her glide
Pac Woman better yet Space Invader
If your name was Chun-Li, we'd be playin Street Fighter
Penny for your thoughts, a nickel for your kiss
A dime if you tell me that you love me

Pure traits of genius, Goddess of Black Venus
Crab niggaz angry cause they can't get between us
To no sele-xion, smooth complex-ion
The lexicon of Lexington, parents came from Cuba
Part Mexican, pure sweet, dimes fell to her feet
She like Movado, and shook her hips like Delgado
And broke niggaz down from the Grounds to Apollo
And then some, she took her act sent it to dim sum
And waited patiently while the businessmen come
Call late on purpose, got even politicians nervous
And made plans to infiltrate the street secret service
This gentle flower, fertility was her power
Sweet persona, Venus Flytrap primadonna
Que sera que sera she turned dinero to dinera
Hey yo I'm standing at the bar with a, Cuban cigar

In Japanese history, a military ruler. The title was first used during the Heian period, when it was occasionally bestowed on a general after a successful campaign. In 1185 Minamoto Yoritomo gained military control of Japan; seven years later he assumed the title of shogun and formed the first bakufu, or shogunate (see Kamakura period). Later Kamakura shoguns lost real power to the Hojo family while remaining rulers in name. Ashikaga Takauji received the title of shogun in 1338 and established the Ashikaga shogunate (see Muromachi period), but his successors enjoyed even less control over Japan than had the Kamakura shoguns, and the country gradually fell into civil war (see Onin War). Tokugawa Ieyasu's shogunate (see Tokugawa period) proved the most durable, but the Japanese penchant for titular rulers prevailed, and in time a council of elders from the main branches of the Tokugawa clan ruled from behind the scenes. Since the title of shogun ultimately came from the emperor, he became a rallying point for those who brought down the shogunate in the Meiji Restoration.

noun \ˈlim-(ˌ)bō\Definition of LIMBO
Origin of LIMBO
nounDefinition of LIMBO
Origin of LIMBO
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)In Roman Catholicism, a region between heaven and hell, the dwelling place of souls not condemned to punishment but deprived of the joy of existence with God in heaven. The concept probably developed in the Middle Ages. Two distinct kinds of limbo were proposed: the limbus patrum (fathers' limbo), where Old Testament saints were confined until liberated by Jesus in his descent into hell; and the limbus infantum or limbus puerorum (children's limbo), the abode of those who died without actual sin but whose original sin had not been washed away by baptism or whose free will was restricted by mental deficiency. Today the Catholic church downplays the notion of limbo, and it is not an official part of church doctrine.
