I was at a resturant up north (Wisconsin) Called Al Capones Hideout, the food there was good but they weren't to good at making drinks. I asked for a cosmopolitan at three differnt places and no one knew how to make one! Anyway someone there ordered a drink and it was pretty bright green, we asked the waitress what is was and I think she said it was a vodka lime sour or a vodka lime and sour? I am not sure but the drink looked goooooooood Anyone have any idea of what this drink is and how to make it?
Follow-Up Postings:
How about a lime vodka sour? Lime vodka and sour...... Most of what I know about drinks in Wisconsin is they use brandy in placed you would never think of! Linda C |
Hmmmmm that might be it Linda is it bright green????? If so do you know how to make it???? Jenny |
Yes, bright green, fill a glass with ice, pour in some lime vodka ( the amount depends on the size of the glass,) fill with sour mix and top with a slice of lime. Linda C |
Thanks Linda! I will have to try and find some Lime vodka, I've never seen it before but I will look when I go to the store today. Jenny |

I decided to do this simple look on Monday. Didn't go out due to it being day off for everyone. I only went downstairs to open the door for my daughter after she finished playing outside with friends.
Really simple look for everyday wear.
I also did this to test out the dried Inglot gel liner which I warmed up to see if it would help and it did - some. I will post the whole process after I've tried the liner few more times to see how fast it dries out again.
On lips I'm wearing Gosh's lip balm in Barbie.
And this is how me and my boyfriend relaxed in the evenings while watching TV/movies during Easter. Ok fine on some days we had Ben&Jerry's or Häagen-Dazs ice cream tubs. Delicious!

Google executives highlighted the multi-device capabilities of Universal Analytics at this year's Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) Forum.
Google executives highlighted the multi-device capabilities of Universal Analytics at this year's Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) Forum.
Analytics advocate at Google Justin Cutroni and group product manager for Google Analytics Manav Misra herald Universal Analytics as the next stage of Google Analytics. The Googlers touted the platform as a future-proof analytics tool. They said the recently released system will help marketers decipher trends in an ever-changing market.
"With Universal Analytics we wanted to create a platform that could create a holistic and wide view [for consumer data]," said Cutroni during a presentation at the 2012 MMA Forum.
Universal Analytics was released last year in beta. The tool allows businesses to discover and analyze user data across mobile, desktop, brick-and-mortar stores, gaming devices, and future platforms.
Google says the tool allows marketers to connect end user data across multiple platforms so they can create a better view of consumer trends. Cutroni says the tool doesn't just focus on one platform, instead, it gathers data from multiple channels to create a better understanding of a user's behavior.
"What we are thinking about with Universal Analytics is mobile is just one data point," continued Cutroni. "The whole idea is that mobile is a part of every piece of data."
Universal Analytics will allow users to create segmentation charts, cohort analysis, and attribution models using the data from multiple data points. According to Cutroni, the platform gives marketers the same types of options they expect from traditional analytics for every data point.
"It's giving you that thing you have for web, we are mimicking that," said Cutroni.
The Googlers were also quick to point out that Universal Analytics is set up to be used on future data consumption technologies. According to Misra, Universal Analytics has been set up to be future-proof.
"If you look back 10 years ago two of these devices didn't exist, and 10 years from now devices we don't know about will be created," said Misra during the presentation.
While the Google execs continued to tout the benefits of the recently released platform, they were also quick to say that it wasn't a "silver bullet."
According to Cutroni, Universal Analytics will not give businesses all the answers. However, he says, it will give users the ability to make informed decisions using the data.
"We don't think there is a silver bullet. The whole idea is to create something that allows you to make informed choices," said Cutroni.
Universal Analytics is currently available in beta. Sign-ups for the platform are currently being accepted.

The man who tipped off investigators to the identities of the suspected Serial Shooters has died.
In short statements released Tuesday afternoon, the Phoenix Police Department and Maricopa County Attorney's Office confirmed the death of Ron Horton, who 18 months ago told police that an old drinking buddy, Sam Dieteman, had bragged of killing people.
Based in part on Horton's statements, police eventually arrested Dieteman and his friend, Dale Hausner, in their Mesa home on suspicion of killing seven people and wounding 17 others in a shooting spree that lasted more than a year.
Both agencies used variations of the word "courage" to describe Horton's actions, but neither said how, when or where he died.
Not even Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill, who released the agency's statement, knew the details.
"As far as a manner or cause of death, I don't know," Hill said. "I was informed by the detective on the case."
The missing details add to Horton's sometimes mysterious existence.
His identity and connection to the Serial Shooters case had remained a secret, sealed in court documents, until he spoke to The Associated Press in December 2006.
He said he was unsure at first whether Dieteman was serious about the shootings. He went to police with his suspicions but was not aggressive with his help until the death of 22-year-old Robin Blasnek, who was killed while walking in Mesa.
"It affected me quite a bit," Horton told The Associated Press.
Eventually, he tracked down Dieteman and met with him while police were watching.
Investigators arrested Dieteman and Hausner two days later.
The new statement released by Phoenix police called Horton "invaluable" to the case.
It is still unclear what, if any, effect his death will have on the prosecution. A statement from the county attorney's office said the case "will move forward as planned."
Prosecutors have a long list of evidence at their disposal for the case, court records show.
Beyond the statements from Horton, investigators also possess secretly recorded conversations between Dieteman and Hausner in which they reportedly discuss the killings.
Guns, ammunition and various reading materials were also seized from their home during police searches.

More reviews by InParadiseIsland
It doesn't dry my lips or make them look chapped, highly pigmented, it's the perfect fuschia if you're into dark pinks :)
More reviews by hottahitilover
I just randomly bought this yesterday I had some cremesheens in the past crosswires and hot gossip in which I wasnt too impressed by but this color I like its more of a red pink than the pictures I seen online before purchasing but overall I really like this color especially the shine and texture the only thing that bugs me about the cremesheens as a whole is they dont seem to be leveled right in the tubes and while turning them up and down the lipstick gets cut into by the tube it has happened with every cremesheen ive had and its annoying it doesn't happen with the other formulas though.
I own so many mac lipsticks. This is one of my favorites! Flatters my tan skin tone.There are very few lipsticks that I will wear everyday. This is so pretty and makes me look so nice. I can wear this lipstick and feel like a million bucks!!!! Love the cremesheen formula! It isn't drying.
Good quality and good colour that could suit all skin tones as I have seen it on drake skin tones and works well on me as a NC15. Mac lipsticks can be a little drying but this doesn't bother me, if you have dry lips a would recommend using a lip balm beforehand (I love Nivea hydrocare)

I went to the MAC counter to purchase Impassioned, but I left with this instead. It reminds me of a less intense version of Impassioned. MAC describes it as a clean poppy blue pink, but I don't see any blue in it, swatched next to Lickable (which is a blue pink, it reads much warmer). I'd describe it as a medium red-pink with a hint of coral in it, or a watermelon pink. Cremesheen isn't my favorite finish from MAC, but it's not the worst either. It's a really good color to wear in Spring or Summer.
This is reddish-fuchsia color but still very wearable. It suits fair skin tones without overwhelming them. It is a bright shade without being electric or over the top, you can build up the color to get a stain lip kinda finish or a bolder application. Even though it is a bright shade it doesn't look tacky at all. The color payoff and the texture are great, it doesn't dry out my lips. With time I have learned that is better to pay some extra bucks for a good quality lipstick than wasting the money in drugstore products that never perform completely well.

One of my favorite lipsticks ever! It's creamy, moisturizing, pigmented, feels great on the lips and I love this color, a pink-fuchsia shade with blue undertones. I think girls whith black hair and fair skin will like it more, it makes such a great contrast! Definitely would buy it again!!
I got this recently and oh boy, it definitely didn't look like the swatches online where it pulled a pink shade, reddish pink shade. On me, it is bright reddish orange. I have Lustering which is a less intense color of Speak Louder, but buildable and did not look reddish orange. I'm looking for a pink lipstick that actually look pink.
Skin tone: NC 30-35
Slightly pigmented lips.

I wish I could like this color more. I don't know, it looks great on others with the exact same complexion as me (NW10, freckled), so I'm not sure why this doesn't work for me. It may look fine objectively, but I wouldn't choose this color for myself on my own.
The color is pretty, it's moisturizing, it's saturated but can go on as thin or as bold as your want. The quality of the lipstick itself is great. But for whatever reason, this is just not my color. I prefer corals, peaches, and nudes with these undertones, but bolder pinks (like Candy Yum-Yum) also looked nice on me. Not sure why I can't simply like this color!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This lipstick is a shocking pink colour on my NC-25 complexion and its nothing like poppy or coral or either blue toned.Its a cremesheen version of mac lustering in lustre finish but whereas lustering has more red in it it has less red but its a bit warmer but a bright OMG kind of colour.Not my type so i replaced it for Snob which i like.

Shortly thereafter, the rain got heavier as Slade made his way to the front of the stage solo, armed with an acoustic guitar. He dedicated "You Are My Sunshine" to everyone who loves being from Colorado, then played a rain medley, as he put it, that included "Summertime," "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Happiness," another newish tune that he debuted last fall on the Rocks. By then Slade, his piano and the entire front portion of the stage were being pounded by sheets of rain. From where I stood, it looked like he was under a shower spigot. A few minutes later, Slade was rejoined by his bandmates for an inexplicable, acoustic take on Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie." In that moment of levity, the band reminded us of the affable bunch of goofballs we've all come to know and love. And then they closed out the night with "Trust Me" and "Little House."
I didn't stick around for the encore. I left when King started pulling people out of the crowd to play tambourine on (natch) "Over My Head (Cable Car)." By then the rain was torrential and I was soaked to the bone — and besides, I'm pretty sure I know how that one ends.
As I walked down the steps, which looked like a waterfall, it finally dawned on me: The Fray's strength doesn't lie in the fact that it can play a perfectly impersonal arena rock show by the numbers. Leave that crap to Coldplay. Its strength lies in the intangibles, the unspoken ability that the band has of connecting with its audience. And that's what will keep it above the fray.

While the world appears to be crumbling under the weight of the crunch, the UK is receiving a certain degree of rest bite with the certainty of work from the Olympics.
With the 2012 deadline approaching ever nearer the Olympics Delivery Authority have announced that their workforce has reached 3000. Adding to the recently accepted rule that infrastructure is the way forward after the crunch, the figures make positive reading.
London 2012 will deliver the HOK designed Olympic Stadium and Zaha Hadid designed Aquatics Centre together with several other arenas, an Olympic Village which will be transformed into affordable housing and connecting infrastructure.
The 'big build', one of the biggest and most complex construction projects in Europe, aims to provide a lasting legacy for some of the most deprived areas of east London by providing local and previously unemployed people access to training and jobs on the Olympic Park.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "If the rate of Londoners employed on building the Games continues at this level it will make a significant contribution towards sustaining the capital's economy through the downturn and help us build our skilled workforce for when the upturn comes."

Earlier in the week we saw NVIDIA expand the new GTX 700 series that launched just a few months ago. The latest addition to the series is a $249 mid-range video card named the GTX 760 and from what we've seen from it already, we're impressed with what NVIDIA has done - especially when you consider the price point.
Out of the box we found ourselves fairly impressed with the reference card at stock and even happier with what the model did when we overclocked it. We must admit, though, we did think the model ran a little warm sitting at 83c at load. Because of that we found ourselves really looking forward to seeing what companies would do with retail model with aftermarket cooling solutions.
Like the other GTX 700 series models that launched, we're seeing companies straight away from day one offer us non-reference cooled ones, and while we're sitting on a couple at the moment, the first one we'll be taking the time to check out comes from MSI. Falling under the new Gaming Series, we're excited to see just what MSI has done with the new model which also carries the Twin Frozr name, one that has always been one of our favorite coolers.
While an OC model out of the box, we've today decided to kick it up a notch and overclock the model even higher to see just what we're able to get out of it and see what kind of extra overclock we're able to get over the reference cooled model.
Checking out the front of the box you can see the new "Gaming Series" design. While this is the first time we've seen the new Gaming Series on a video card, it's not the first time we've seen it, as we saw it on the MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming Series motherboard back in May. Taking a look at the front of the box, you can see we've got a very simple and clean design, which we love. You've got the Gaming series logo alongside the MSI one and the model name. You can also see in the bottom left corner it's an OC Edition.
If we take a look at the back of the box, you can see we've got a run down on some of the main features that are offered including the Advanced Thermal Design via the Twin Frozr IV cooler and the higher quality components via the Military Class 4 classification.
Moving inside the package you can see we've got a fairly standard bundle with the quick user guide on the left, along with the main driver CD. As far as cables go, you can see we've got a dual-Molex to PCIe, 6-pin PCIe to 8-pin PCIe and a DVI to VGA connector.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
In "Faithful Journeys," a Tapestry of Faith program
Tell the group:
To explore our fourth Principle — a free and responsible search for truth and meaning — we will have a special kind of treasure hunt with two different parts. The first part of the treasure hunt is for seven slips of paper hidden in this room. Each slip of paper has a word on it that represents one of our UU Principles — ideas we believe are important and true. When you find a slip of paper, come back and sit down. When all seven have been found, we can have the second part of the treasure hunt.
If the group has fewer than seven children, you can let some children find more than one slip of paper.
After children have gathered with the slips of paper they found, ask each one to read aloud the word that they found. Now say:
The next part of our treasure hunt is a bit more complicated. Each person (or pair/team) is going to search for some item they think can show the word they have on their slip of paper.
Offer some examples to help children conceive how an object can represent an abstract idea such as respect, fairness, or connection. For instance, tape, glue, or a paper clip might symbolize connection; a book might symbolize curiosity; a Braille hymnbook might symbolize fairness.
Tell the children where they may (and may not) search and, if they are leaving the meeting space, when they must return. As they search, engage in conversation to draw out children's creativity. If children have difficulty finding an item, offer them the option of drawing something that shows their word. Children who return quickly with an item can also be given the option of drawing a representation of their word while they wait for the others to return.
Gather the group and ask them to share what they chose and why. If you have time, ask them to also share an example of an action they could do to demonstrate their word. Leave time for the children to return the items to the locations where they found them.
If the group includes children who are visually impaired or have limited mobility, pair children to ensure that each team has a member who can search by sight. Make sure children work together, so all are fully included.
Some children may need an adult to walk with them to make sure that they stay quiet and on task and do not disrupt other children or adults.

Title: Pete Rose: My Prison without Bars
Author: Pete Rose with Rick Hill
Publisher: Rodale Publishing
Pages: 322
Pete Rose, the all time hits leader. Pete Rose, the man who is not enshrined in the Hall of Fame. There has been a tremendous controversy on the subject, one of the most heated in all of baseball. Many fans believe that Rose has learned his lesson by being kept out of the Hall for quite a few seasons, while others say a lifetime ban is a lifetime ban. Rose released his book in January of 2004, days before the introduction of Gary Carter and Eddie Murray.
The Hall of Fame ceremonies had a cloud over its head with Rose's book. The spotlight was stolen from Carter and Murray's big day, while the controversy of whether Rose should or should not be enshrined in Cooperstown stood at the forefront. Rose, never one to miss action, was at Cooperstown that fateful day, selling autographs to fans of baseball.
The book caused quite a stir in the press, to be certain. In it, Rose finally admits to his gambling on baseball, something he lied about for fourteen years. The all time hits king goes on to talk about his other gambling experience, as well as about his life growing up in trouble all the time.
The first chapter outlines what the entire book will be about: Rose's troubles both with the government and Major League baseball. Rose then moves to discussing his childhood, which is filled with baseball (of course) and his father. The biggest thing that Rose brings up about his childhood is his difficulty to do well in school. The author claims he has ADHD, which takes away his ability to concentrate and gave him restlessness. Throughout the book, this is a recurring theme that Rose relates his gambling addictions to.
Chapter three discusses one of Rose's biggest passions: the horses. After reading the book, one has to think that perhaps gambling overtakes baseball as number one in Rose's life. Anyway, Rose describes his first day at the track with his father and how much fun it really was to place money on the ponies.
Finally Pete discusses baseball in chapter four, something all fans were waiting for. (Actually, the thing we're waiting for is much later in the book.) In his first season in the minors, Rose met future star Tony Perez, who was fueled by the pursuit of excellence, just like Rose. The protagonist of the story continues by telling the reader just what the minor leagues were like, how Rose dominated, earned his first Corvette, got his nickname "Charlie Hustle," and became such a media darling. Rose continues with his first season in the Major Leagues, in which he won the National League Rookie of the Year award.
Chapter five continues what the baseball fan wants: more about Pete Rose playing baseball. From Sparky Anderson taking over the Reds to the Big Red Machine cruising to World Championships, Rose gives the highlights of his entire career. However, Rose begins to show a little bit of greed when he discusses how he got his contracts. Rose would threaten to sit out an entire season if the Reds wouldn't pay him over $100K for the 1971 season, a figure matched by nearly no one at that time. The Reds would not raise their price to that level, so Pete then went to members of the press to write favorable articles about him to help his case in getting a higher paycheck. If Rose was such a baseball-loving man, wouldn't he accept a slightly lesser paycheck just to be able to get on the field? This was one of the things that perked my attention about Pete Rose's character.
Chapter six moves to Rose's post-career career: memorabilia dealing. Rose would help his friends Tommy Giaiosa and Paul Janszen in their business by donating things, while Rose would travel to their shows and sign autographs for a fee. These two would reciprocate by running Rose's bets, whether it was March Madness, football, or professional basketball. Eventually, Rose, at the end of the chapter, says "'Betting on the [baseball] playoffs makes the games more exciting to watch!'." Rose finally admitted to the cardinal sin of baseball.
Rose tries to blame his addiction to gambling on ADHD in the next chapter, while discussing more and more about his gambling ties with Janszen and Giaiosa. He finally gets busted in chapter 8 for his gambling. Rose talks about the end of his managerial career before discussing his time spent in prison. He talks about the life of a prisoner very well before moving to the next part in his life: more gambling on horses.
In the last chapter, Rose discusses his meeting with the commissioner of baseball, Mr. Allan "Bud" Selig. He then finishes the book with a simple message: Rose has learned his lesson and wants to be let back into baseball. He does not offer an apology for what he has done, pretty much because he is a guy who can't do that sort of thing. Many baseball fans would have loved to see something of this nature, but Rose does not give it.
All in all, the book discusses just as much, if not more, gambling as baseball, which is not great for the baseball fan. This book was issued as a discourse on his actions off the field, which must be understood for baseball fans. I give this book a rating of 2.5 balls.
Our Rating System is based on a four ball system as follows:
One Ball: Average. It has something to say but is nothing special.
Two Balls: Something men usually have - also means its a cut above average, and worth reading/owning.
Three balls: Stands out from its peers and is highly recommended.
Four Balls: More than just what two men have when hanging out together, it means it is an exceptional book that truly earns a walk - straight to the local book store to get a copy.

I had the worst luck with propagating plants by either hardwood or softwood cuttings. I've tried crape myrtle, photinia, texas sage, butterfly bush, etc., and it seems like everything has failed. I've had success, however, after I started moistening the growing medium with b-complex and water mixed in a blender. Even my photinias which had rotted came back to life after I removed them from the medium, knives off the decay, then soaked the ends of the hardwood in the mixture for 12 hours. I noticed a small amount of cane sugar also helped. Has anyone else found this? What's the science behind it, if anything? |

when i googled b complex.. all i got was vitamins.. care to better describe what you are talking about??? ken ps: what made you think to grind up your daily vitamin and feed it to your plants??? |
It's a pretty commonly used snake-oil potion. People talk about it pretty frequently in the Trees and Shrubs Forums. When used for transplants or cuttings, I think its only benefit is to the wallets of the sellers. Linda Chalker-Scott's The Myth of Vitamin Stimulants CO State Coop. Ext.'s Beware of Gardening Myths |
It worked for me, and cheaper than B1 rooting stimulant. I'm telling you, had hardwood leafless crape myrtle sticks in soil for months. No roots and started rotting. I pulled them out, cut off the rot with a knife, left them in a mixture of b-complex, cane sugar, and a little apple cider vinegar, and they had roots within two weeks. They haven't leafed out, but I'm going to fertilize the cuttings this weekend with a little miracle grow. |
There are way too many variables for us to know what happened in this particular case. That's one reason scientific studies (where variables are controlled and control-samples are used to help eliminate unknown variables) are so valuable. Just about all snake-oil potions have their believers/advocates, but that doesn't make them reliable. Anecdotal evidence has little real meaning until you have a lot of it or until it is gained while at least partially following good sound scientific method. |
Ive heard good things about giving cuttings a superthrive bath (diluted of course) Prior to hormone and placement in rooting medium. |

Application of vitamin B-1 (thiamine) to root systems of whole plants does not stimulate root growth. This myth arose from early work on plant growth regulators, called auxins, which were mixed with vitamin B-1. Further research throughout the last half of the 20th century investigating the application of auxins to root systems suggested that auxins may stimulate root growth, but that vitamin B-1 on its own does not. Delving deeper into manufacturer claims, many rely on early research (late 1930s and early 1940s) which has been refuted by subsequent research and/or research done on plant roots excised from the mother plant or grown in artificial media. |
